There is a dream called football

Chapter 161 Final Journey
In all fairness, Japanese football has found the path that suits them best, passing and controlling football.

Short, but very flexible Asians are very suitable for passing and controlling football. At this time, after more than ten years of exploration, Japanese football has already belonged to the forefront of Asia in terms of overall strength.

After the start of the game, the Chinese team did not have any advantage in possession of the ball, because Alihan's tactics were not sticky to the ball, and were relatively straightforward. This is also a characteristic of Chinese football, that is, the German team in Asia.

This is not bragging, it's just style. Think about the stars produced by Chinese football—Sun Jihai, ***, they are all very practical, but not very big, similar to Germany's Miroslav Klose.

The list reported by the Japanese team to the organizing committee is 433, but in fact, after the start of the game, the core Shunsuke Nakamura returned.

In other words, it is actually a 442 formation.

After the opening, Koji Nakata, Shunsuke Nakamura, Santo, Takashi Fusai, 4 people controlled the midfield of the Japanese team.

In terms of possession rate, the Japanese team is dominant, but the two forwards Suzuki Takayuki and Tamada Kushitana did not pose any threat.

Chinese fans cheered one after another, but the Chinese team didn't seem to be affected, and they still played very steadily.

After all, this is the final, and Alihan, as a Dutchman, is well aware of the pain of the final.

After all, Dutch football has been tricked countless times in the finals, and it all happened when the team's strength was clearly superior.

At 18 minutes into the game, Shunsuke Nakamura kicked his left foot. This kick had a very obvious arc, and it was a very weird arc. Liu Yunfei didn't dare to hold it with his hands, so he pushed it out with one palm.

Shunsuke Nakamura's left foot is very weird, and he relied on his left foot to play in the European League.

In addition, the Japanese team's defense line was withdrawn very far back. Obviously, Zico had studied the Chinese team's previous games and knew that the Chinese team's counterattack was very fast.

As soon as Li Qiao touched the ball, he was immediately surrounded by several people from the Japanese team. The defensive resistance was obviously higher than that of the Iranian team in the previous game.

After all, the development of Japanese football has not been underestimated until now.

Li Qiao usually distributes the ball immediately after receiving the ball. After all, his teammates are on top of him. If he loses the ball, he will be hit back.

The best chance for the Chinese team in the first half was Shao Jiayi's pass and Li Jinyu's shot in front of the goal.

But the ball is high.

In addition, the chances created by both sides are very few.

"Jianxiang, I think both sides are trying to test."

"should be."

The second half of a final match, especially the last 30 minutes, can be turbulent, such as the 1996 European Cup final.

In the second half, as expected, the Japanese team sped up the tempo and passed the ball significantly faster. Alihan knew that this must be an order from the coach.

After a few short passes from the midfielder of the Japanese team, the ball reached Takayuki Suzuki in the penalty area.

The Brazilian shot furiously, and with a bang, the ball hit the crossbar hard. While the goal was shaking, the hearts of all the fans were also shaking.

"It's a good thing we didn't go in."

But this ball also let the Chinese team completely get rid of the burden, the rallying call sounded, and the Chinese team began to attack aggressively.

Li Ming at this time was Zheng Zhi's role in the national team later on. He was the metronome in the midfield and he distributed the ball to Lei Wen on the left.

When Lei Wen got the ball, Li Jinyu ran forward.

Dayu's biggest feature is that his running position is very erratic. Lei Wen immediately gave him the ball, and then ran forward himself.

There are two Japanese defensive players next to Oyu. He wants to get rid of the ball quickly, so he sweeps vigorously into the penalty area.

At this time, the Japanese team has taken care of *** in the penalty area. He still struggled to tackle even though he couldn't get the ball. It was this tackle that interfered with the Japanese team's defense.

Just when everyone thought Li Qiao was about to volley violently, Li Qiao didn't. He thought of his previous life.

In fact, it was a moment of lightning and flint. That was Li Yi's chance to face a single-handed shot. Li Yi chose to shoot explosively, but was caught alive by Nono Kawaguchi. Later, this scene became the most regrettable moment for Chinese fans.

At this time, the opportunity that Li Qiao faced in the latter point was so similar to that one, a single-handed opportunity, and Nohusu Kawaguchi had already saved it.

"Oh my god, it's amazing to pull the ball." Huang Jianxiang was already stunned. Even though he had watched so many football games, at this moment he could not have expected that Li Qiao would choose to pull the ball.

In the face of single-handedness, it is safest to pass the goalkeeper, but many people dare not at all, because the opportunity is rare.

After passing Kawaguchi Nenghuo, there is a big empty door in front of him, Li Qiao only needs to push lightly, and the 6 people in Gongti turned high.

"The ball went in."

"The fans waited for 70 minutes."

After losing the ball, the Japanese team had to press out, and the Chinese team was finally able to play the defensive counterattack they were good at, especially Li Qiao and Lei Wen. Hurry up, and Alihan was even more ruthless. He simply pushed Li Qiao and Lei Wen to the front.

The effect of the Japanese team's strong attack is very poor, because they have no high points, so most of the passes are invalidated, even with a talented player like Shunsuke Nakamura.

When the pass failed, the Japanese team began to try long-range shots. Not to mention, this move is still a bit threatening. Nakamura Shunsuke and Santo Lord both have the ability to score goals with long-range shots.

But Liu Yunfei withstood the test.

In the 87th minute, the Chinese team took advantage of the space behind the Japanese team and played a quick counterattack.

After 6 games in the Asian Cup, the international players are already familiar with Li Qiao's running position. Li Ming didn't need to look at it at all. He kicked hard to the right side of the field and watched.

This is Li Qiao's favorite rhythm. He rushed forward quickly, and Jia Diliang clung to him fiercely. Li Qiao suddenly paused, and Jia Diliang also paused.

Li Qiao sped up again, this time Ryo Kaji knelt down, facing Nouko Kawaguchi who was attacking, Li Qiao lightly shot the far corner.

This ball is just like the ball played by Ronaldo in the Brazil World Cup when he played with the Japanese team's defense. That time, the Japanese team also pressed across the board and was counterattacked by Colombia.

2 to 0.
The Chinese team can celebrate, Li Jinyu jumped on Li Qiao's back like a child.

"we won."

"Correct."

The fans were already celebrating in advance. They were worried during the first half of the game, but in the second half, the Chinese team showed their strength.

The moment the final whistle sounded, the old players shed tears, such as *** and Li Ming. This must be their last battle for the country, and the final result was good.

The Asian Cup is over, and Li Qiao is about to start his journey for the new season.
