Chapter 1022 Revenge after 8 years

Latest website:

The Chinese team defeated Iran. Although the process was bumpy, the ending was completely expected. The significance of this game is, to a greater extent, a watershed.

Prior to this, domestic local players had taken the lead in both the league and the national team by virtue of their advantages in age and experience. Although the back wave players were coming fiercely, they were still immature after all.

But in an eye-catching Asian Cup quarter-finals match, the local cannons collectively destroyed their martial arts in various ways, almost putting the team into a desperate situation. Apart from using suicide to describe them, there is really no more suitable word to describe them.

On the other hand, the Chunlei players, led by Mei Zixi, were not afraid of powerful enemies and took action when it was time to take action, drawing their swords with the sound of wind. A game is a matter of judgment.

This Asian Cup, especially this quarter-final match with Iran, is bound to have a profound impact on the order of Chinese football. Regardless of the national team or the league, the rise of Chunlei young players is not only unstoppable, but has become a torrent.

Even if they are still young, even if they make mistakes in the game, the bloom of hope will definitely drive away mediocrity.

It has been ten years since Zhuo Yang returned to the national team, and the Chinese are used to him being everything in Chinese football. As Zhuoyang enters the ranks of veterans, the football circle begins to think about what will happen to Chinese football in the "post-Zhuoyang era" and where to go?

This then triggered thinking about what Chinese football would be like now if there had never been Zhuo Yang.

The results of the deduction are very unoptimistic. Some factors will not change, such as the serious shortage of players born in the 1990s, the convergence and mediocrity of players, and the fact that no one in the country can enter the top 20 in Asia in each position.

Some factors will definitely no longer exist, such as reaching the World Cup three times and gradually improving their results. Without the World Cup, there will naturally be no subsequent trend of studying abroad. Of course, three Zhangs and one Yan will not get the opportunity to further their studies.

Without Zhuo Yang, there would be no Spring Buds of Hope, and there would be no Chinese football youth training craze led by him. The national team and league would still select players among less than 10,000 people each year.

The results of the deduction are cold and despairing, and there is also panic about the "post-Zhuoyang era".

In fact, during the time when Zhuoyang's accident happened in 2015, Chinese football had a preview of the Ice Age. The domestic football world was in chaos, and all kinds of debris appeared. The national team lost to Qatar and almost failed to reach the top 12 in the World Cup preliminaries.

People who are accustomed to a better life cannot go back to the quagmire of the past. Therefore, even though the new national youth and national youth teams, with Chunlei as the main body, sang all the way and brutally defeated the same age group in Asia, the domestic football community and fans still Don't be too optimistic.

Youth performance cannot be simply equated with the adult team. It is not impossible for Chinese football to have national youth teams in the past. Who has not had a platinum generation?

Even though the wave of overseas students, mainly Chunlei players, is overwhelming, and groups have 'invaded' the new Chinese Super League, people still dare not be too optimistic, because everyone's appetite has been whetted, and skyscrapers are so tall, breaking out of Asia is no longer an option. Target.

The young players did not perform well in the national adult team, and no one felt confident. Injury to Zhongyong was a wake-up call left by our ancestors.

The mediocre performance against Kyrgyzstan, a weak third-rate team in Asia, in the group stage seemed to confirm people's worries. No matter how bad Chinese football is, playing against such a rubbish team should be easy, right? Why is it so difficult and dangerous?

In fact, Kyrgyzstan is not trash, and Chinese football without Zhuo Yang has never been up and down. All living beings have generally misunderstood.

Everyone is blind. Everyone thinks that the league and the national football team will have to continue to rely on local cannons in the short term. It is not about how good they are, but that they have no choice for the time being.

But it's a tangle with people from their archrival Iran. The local football fans habitually stretch their hips and blink their eyes to support the blind. Each generation is getting worse and worse. They are gradually moving away from the origin of football and are instead classified as scandals and jokes.

In sharp contrast is the talented but down-to-earth young player Hope Chunlei. In addition to experience, technical and tactical skills, fighting spirit and psychological quality, they have nothing missing.

, the young generals cooperated with Zhuo Yang, and even Zhuo Yang cooperated with them to achieve a head-on blow to the Iranian delusions, and they wiped the butt clean for the cannon gate, which is enough to explain all the problems.

At this time, people look back at the scene of the battle with Kyrgyzstan. Although the young players did not play perfectly, they were fighting alone against adult opponents. Zhuoyang let go and did not participate.

In the game against Iran, Zhuo Yang couldn't even score a hat trick. He was almost trapped by a teammate who pulled a ladder out of him, and he obviously felt that he couldn't move him. Zhuoyang is about to turn 34 years old. The answer is obvious as to who can be his helper and who can take over the gun of revolution after he retires.

The Chunlei players are growing up so fast, every game is different. Originally, Zhuo Yang and Zhashuai promoted some young players to participate in the Asian Cup in order to put some pressure on the team's World Cup third-place heroes, but they did not expect that the pressure exceeded the limit. Of course, this is welcome pressure.

In the original plan, the first wave of spring buds will reach the age group of 21 to 24 in 2022. That is the age group for their use on an appropriate scale, and it is also in line with the international rules of football youth training.

But now it seems that the national team's "Spring Bud Plan" will be significantly advanced. The green seedlings are growing vigorously, and the wormwood cannot cover them.

Not only the national team, but also the managers and head coaches of the leading teams in the 18 divisions of the new Chinese Super League also thought seriously after this game: Can the Spring Bud players in the echelon be promoted in advance?

.

One day later, all the four quarter-final matches came to light, except for China and Iran, which were relatively low-key 1:0.

In a game where the advantage was not obvious, the Japanese team ended the progress of dark horse Vietnam 1:0 with a penalty kick by Don Ahn in the second half. To be honest, although the Vietnam Youth Army lost, it was an honor, and this Asian Cup was a very profitable one.

Qatar defeated Iraq 1:0. It was not scored by Moez Ali. He still has 7 goals in the group stage, ranking second after Zhuoyang with 13 goals.

The host United Arab Emirates eliminated the defending champion Australia 1:0 with the goal of center Mabkhout. It is actually quite a pity because the Chinese team also wanted to eliminate the Australians, but now they have no chance.

The semi-finals will start in three days, with tight barriers between East and West Asia, China VS Japan, UAE VS Qatar.

This is a belated battle of revenge. Eight years ago in the United Arab Emirates, in the 2011 Asian Cup final, the Chinese team lost to Japan 1:2 in overtime and lost the championship. Zhuo Yang was sent off with a red card at the last moment.

He has fought countless battles in his life, but the 2011 Asian Cup final was the only time Zhuo Yang lost in the final. Regardless of the other championships, the Football Association Cup, the Super Cup, or the Club World Cup, as long as he reached the final, the championship would be his. Unexpectedly, a small Asian Cup But the boat capsized.

Otherwise, "never lost any finals" would be such an awesome record. So this semi-final is a double revenge battle between Zhuo Yang and the national team.

The red card he received for maliciously infringing on Shinji Kagawa was actually a public case.

The kick directly broke Shinji Kagawa's cruciate ligament. The foul was quite bad, and Zhuo Yang received a straight red. The penalties in competitions are always strict. After the game, he was suspended for an additional game, totaling two games.

Frankly speaking, this punishment has taken great care of Zhuoyang. If it had been anyone else, he might have been suspended for ten games. At that time, the Japanese team was very complaining, and also questioned the choice of games for Zhuoyang's two-game suspension.

There is no precedent for a red card in the finals of the Asian Cup before, so there are three options for banning games: the Asian regional group stage of the World Cup next year, the Asian Cup qualifiers two years later, and the Asian Cup main draw four years later.

The Japanese say that the red card in the final will naturally be counted in the main game. In fact, they know that of these three competitions, the Asian Cup main game is the most important and can most damage the Chinese national team. It's a pity that it doesn't matter what they say.

The Asia-wide ban was finally implemented by the AFC during the 2013 Asian Cup qualifiers. And this is the minimum loss for the Chinese team and Zhuo Yang. Zhuo Yang has no intention of participating at all, just the Asian Cup qualifiers.

A red card that changed Shinji Kagawa's career, a foul and suspension that made the Japanese grit their teeth, were resolved in such a light way, and the little Japan has been grieving for several years.

Eight years ago, Japan's top player Keisuke Honda said: Zhuo Yang is the best star in Asia, and Japan is the best team in Asia.

There's nothing wrong with that. Eight years later, the 34-year-old Zhuoyang stood in front of Japan again at the Asian Cup. The 33-year-old Melbourne player in the Australian Super League and the head coach of the Cambodian national team Keisuke Honda said nothing.
