Fox in the Penalty Area

Although the Chinese Football Association has refuted the rumors that "if the Chinese team does not qualify for the group stage, Dong Jianhai will dismiss the get out of class" rumors that have been uploaded on the Internet, saying that there is no such thing.

But the fans are still more willing to believe the revelations of "insiders" on the Internet.

But it also made them fall into the same ambivalence as Hu Lai's mother:

Should they hope that the Chinese team will be out of the Asian Cup group, or will they be out of the group?

The Chinese team qualified for the group stage, and Dong Jianhai's success in continuing his life was something they didn't want to see.

But the Chinese team was out of the group, and the undefeated World Cup team became a laughing stock, which is also what they don't want to see.

Shi Wuyin, one of the parties involved in various rumors, also issued a personal statement through the "Goal" website at this time.

In the statement, he thanked the Chinese fans for their love and support for him, but he also said that after leading the team to the World Cup, he deeply felt the lack of personal ability. Next, he will turn his energy to recharging and improving his studies.

The implication is "I'm not interested in coaching the national team again, don't bother me".

The words are very euphemistic, but everyone can understand the meaning.

This disappointed those who still expected Shi Wuyin to come out to fight the fire.

Some people even said some radical words in extreme disappointment.

Of course, such people were quickly overwhelmed by the majority of real Chinese fans. After all, no one knows whether those idiots who say, "It's human nature to cherish feathers, but I didn't expect Shi Guidance to value personal reputation more than the future of Chinese football, which is somewhat disappointing" are real fans or rhythmic sunspots .

As long as the real fans still have brains, they know that they can't let this kind of idiot represent themselves.

This is the same as giving up your seat on the bus or subway. I didn't sit in the special seat for the elderly, the sick, the disabled, and pregnant. It was a matter of affection, and it was only natural not to let me go. I couldn't engage in moral kidnapping.

Under such circumstances, in the final round of the group stage, the Chinese team faced the almost fully naturalized Philippine team. After 90 minutes of fierce fighting, the Chinese team finally won the opponent with a score of 2:1.

Both of China's goals were scored by Hu Lai, who also leads the Asian Cup scorer list with four goals.

With these two goals from Hu Lai, the Chinese team won the life-and-death battle and qualified for the group stage.

It's just that because they lost to Iraq in the first round, the Chinese team is not as good as Iraq in terms of points, and can only qualify as the second in the group.

This allowed them to encounter a powerful Japanese team in the quarter-finals.

There is no need to introduce too much, just the three words "Japanese team" are enough to explain how desperate this quarter-finals is.

If the Chinese team, which is not in the best condition, wants to fight against the Japanese team with the strongest lineup, it is almost certain to lose!

This result also highlights the fatality of the Chinese team's accidental loss to Iraq in the first group match-if the Chinese team can get the first place in the group, their opponent in the quarter-finals will be the Thai team.

Although the Thai team is also a powerhouse in Southeast Asian football, it is obviously much easier to deal with than the Japanese team.

In addition to stronger opponents, the situation of the Chinese team is also worrying.

Let's not talk about conceding the ball again in the game.

The team captain Yao Huasheng lost his balance and fell to the ground after competing for a header with his opponent. His right shoulder landed on the ground, resulting in a shoulder dislocation. At that time, Dong Jianhai had already used up three substitutions, so Yao Huasheng could only deal with it briefly, then fixed his shoulder with a bandage and continued to fight.

It is not yet known whether he will be able to catch up with the Japanese team in the quarter-finals three days later.

In addition to Yao Huasheng, Xia Xiaoyu was also injured during the game. It was also because of his injury that Dong Jianhai used up the last substitution spot, leaving Yao Huasheng unable to be replaced and could only fight with injuries.

However, Xia Xiaoyu's condition was better. After the match, he was checked and found to be only slightly injured, which would not affect his participation in the match against the Japanese team.

Or Yao Huasheng's injury is more touching. After all, the Chinese team's defense is not very good. If the main central defender can't play again, who knows what it will be like by the Japanese team.

There is no Yao Huasheng or Lin Zhiyuan on the defense line, and Wang Guangwei alone is difficult to support.

And judging from this Asian Cup, although training in high-level leagues can also improve his own level, Wang Guangwei still obviously lacks game training-after moving to Eldrea, he only played in two games. Had the opportunity to come off the bench. Once in the Coppa Italia and once in the league.

There are too few opportunities to compete, and it is difficult for him to maintain a good enough state if it is just training.

Defender and goalkeeper are two very special positions. Unless the main players are injured or the lineup is rotated, it is difficult to get a chance to play. However, Eldrea's two main central defenders performed stably and were not injured. In addition, a non-rich team like Eldrea does not need to rotate the lineup, so Wang Guangwei has few opportunities to play. Not much.

Before the Asian Cup, whether it was the Chinese fans, the managers of Chinese football, or the media, they were more optimistic. I believe that after the Chinese players have been trained abroad, their strength has been greatly improved, and the overall strength of the Chinese team will also be greatly improved, and they are fully capable of competing with strong teams such as Japan, South Korea, and Iran.

Even if Wang Guangwei seldom plays in the club, but he has received high-level training, there is no problem. I did not see that Luo Kai had few opportunities to play in Veronica's first season, and his performance in the World Cup was also very good. ?

The results proved that training is training and competition is competition. The two are still incomparable, the same day...

The only good news is that the Chinese team's offensive combination in the frontcourt is in good shape-Hu Lai's two goals were assisted by Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai.

In addition to the lack of performance in the first game, the remaining two group matches scored six goals, and the Chinese team's offensive firepower has not dropped too much.

When Yao Huasheng knocked on the door of his room, Dong Jianhai looked very surprised: "Why don't you rest in the room, Dayao?"

"Director Dong, I don't want to miss the game against the Japanese team." Yao Huasheng said straight to the point.

"Oh, but your injury doesn't allow it..." Dong Jianhai pointed at Yao Huasheng's shoulder and shook his head.

He still had bandages in there, and he could see a bump on his shoulder, which was a misaligned acromioclavicular joint.

Even a slight movement of the shoulder would cause severe pain, and it was impossible to play in such a situation.

"I can break the seal." Yao Huasheng had obviously thought of a countermeasure long ago.

"Dayao, this is not a simple dislocation, it is a third-degree acromioclavicular dislocation, the acromioclavicular ligament is torn and strained. What you need to do is to rest and recuperate, and do the surgery after the swelling subsides. Otherwise, there will be sequelae... "Dong Jianhai disagreed.

After the match against the Philippines, Yao Huasheng underwent a detailed inspection, and the final conclusion made Dong Jianhai and Hong Renjie feel dizzy:

The third degree of acromioclavicular dislocation of the right shoulder requires surgical treatment, and the recovery period is usually three months.

This means that Yao Huasheng will also bid farewell to the Asian Cup in advance.

"After the Asian Cup, I will go for surgery, Director Dong. Besides, even if I have to have surgery, I can't do it now, don't I still have to wait for the swelling to go down? It will take at least a week to go down the swelling. So I will play the next game The competition does not affect my operation." Yao Huasheng's attitude was very firm.

Dong Jianhai frowned, with a hesitant expression.

Seeing this, Yao Huasheng further said: "Director Dong, I know that we did not play well in this Asian Cup. As the captain, I am responsible. Our opponent in the quarter-finals is the Japanese team. If it is other opponents, forget it, but The Japanese team..."

At this point, his tone changed: "Since the Asian Cup final in 2004, I have been waiting for this match!"

In the 2004 Asian Cup final, Yao Huasheng was only eleven years old and had never participated in that Asian Cup as a player.

But in that final, he watched the whole game from the sidelines as a caddy.

That was a humiliating day for Chinese football, and he will never forget it.

Dong Jianhai just bowed his head in silence, still did not make a statement.

"When I finished the World Cup, I still wanted to use the experience accumulated in the World Cup to the Asian Cup, and then bring the young people along. But I didn't expect to play like this. Our defense line became the biggest problem instead. ..."

Yao Huasheng laughed at himself, and then said: "I hope that Director Dong will give me another chance to make up for my mistakes. This is my last Asian Cup, and I really don't want to say goodbye like this."

Dong Jianhai sighed: "Forget it! You can kick it if you want!"

"Thank you Director Dong, and I hope you don't tell others about my injury."

Dong Jianhai stared deeply at Yao Huasheng, then nodded, "Okay, I told Yuan Bo not to say anything."

Yuan Bo is the team medical team leader. Because the examination results have not been released for a long time, Yuan Bo, Dong Jianhai and the team leader Hong Renjie know the specific condition of Yao Huasheng's injury. The outside world is still guessing.

Yao Huasheng, who got the promise, finally had a smile on his face again, and expressed his gratitude to Dong Jianhai again.

However, Dong Jianhai waved his hands in a bad mood and threw Yao Huasheng out: "Hurry up and go back to rest!"
