Ice Shooter of the Green Field

A duel of fate! Imperial Dragon Team VS Blue Samurai!

Under the consistent title of the second disease in the Japanese media, China will usher in the Japanese team in the Asian Cup final. This is also the second time that the Chinese team and the Japanese team have met in the final of a major competition after the 2004 China Asian Cup.

This game has also aroused unprecedented enthusiasm between the two countries, and it even has the meaning of surpassing the 2004 Asian Cup in China.

There are two key reasons. The first is Qi Ce. The appearance of Qi Ce, a superstar in the Asian arena. After several investigations by many media, the enthusiasm of ordinary people in China for football has approached the extreme value of the 2002 World Cup. With the Asian Cup advancing all the way, Qi Ce scored goals one by one in the Asian Cup, and the attention has been rising all the way.

The other most critical reason is the advent of the Internet age.

Anyone can easily find a lot of information about Qi Ce, about the competition, and about the Asian Cup from the Internet, and the attention will naturally increase.

On the other hand, Japan is also very concerned about this game.

Qi Ce is now the most watched football star in the whole of Asia, especially in East Asia, and the Japanese like football very much. Football is second only to baseball in China. It is the second largest sport in the country. Now the most important competition The opponent China has a star who can almost influence the world football, how can this make them not pay attention.

In addition, the opponents themselves also have enough points to watch.

Football is a war in a peaceful age, the most interesting and influential war!

war!

This word is very sensitive between China and Japan. Although this is not the first time that China and Japan have met in the finals of a major competition, this time it may excite more fans.

Because just last year, the Chinese team had already defeated Japan in the East Asian Cup. This game has boosted the confidence of the fans through a series of wonderful performances before. Maybe this time the possibility of winning the championship is greater than last time.

In fact, Gao Hongbo himself knows that the current national team actually has no advantage over the team in 2004. It is weaker in all aspects, but Qi Ce is much better than the players at that time.

But fans don't think so, because winning can cover up all disadvantages and even "strengthen teammates".

As long as you win the game, fans will ignore many small details, and more things that are useful to the game will be seen. For example, Zhang Linpeng’s one defense against two became a place that many fans praised, but because of this, many shortcomings were ignored. This is a common phenomenon after a victory, but the Chinese team fans don't seem to be very alert to this.

After all, the Chinese team won relatively few competitions in the past, and they had no chance to experience this feeling.

As a professional coach, Gao Hongbo certainly knows that there is still a big gap between the current lineup and Japan, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there are gaps in every position except Qi Ce.

The stronger Japanese team announced the starting lineup for the match against China one day in advance. Compared with last year's East Asian Cup lineup, I don't know how luxurious it is. Most of them are European overseas players. People, Yoshida Maya, Konno Yasuyuki and Nagatomo Yu all started, except for Konno Yasuyuki, the others are European defense lines.

The midfielder starts with Yasuhito Endo, Makoto Hasebe, Keisuke Honda, Shinji Kagawa and Moe Hosogai. Also only veteran Yasuhito Endo plays in the Japanese domestic league. The striker is Shinji Okazaki from Shimizu Heartbeat. It is said that there are already Several Bundesliga teams want to bring in this player.

The Japanese coach is the famous Italian coach Zaccheroni. He once led the two giants in Italy, the Milan duo, and has a Serie A champion in his hand. He also led Juventus, but he was dismissed in just six months. Then he took over the Japanese team after the famous Japanese coach Takeshi Okada resigned.

"The Japanese team is very good at ball control. Hasebe Makoto, Honda Keisuke, Endo Yasuhito, Kagawa Shinji, these four midfielders have a strong ability to control the ball and play like Barcelona." The day before the game , Gao Hongbo did not shy away from telling everyone in the locker room that the game must be conservative.

"We have to play defensively and counterattack, just like how Mourinho played against Barcelona in Real Madrid to play against Japan. At the beginning, we first pay attention to the referee's scale. If it is looser, we can play a little bigger. To play against the Japanese team must Let them be afraid, afraid to have the ball, keep the ball, afraid to get hurt, so we can have a chance!"

On the other side, Japan.

Shinji Kagawa was surrounded by several teammates, especially Yuto Nagatomo and Maya Yoshida, who might have played directly against Qi Ze in the game, so they wanted to know Qi Ze's weakness.

"Qi Jun's weakness..." Kagawa Shinji was a little distressed. He usually played behind Qi Ce. Kagawa and Qi Ce cooperated a lot. He felt that no matter how the ball was given to Qi Ce, he could do something, or pass Coming back, or rushing forward, it seems that he is rarely in a mess.

"I don't think he has any weaknesses. If you have to say something, send a few more people to surround him!" Shinji Kagawa thought for a long time, but he could only say the same thing as Zaccheroni.

"You have been teammates with him for so long, and you don't know where his weakness is?" Yoshida Asa continued to ask unwillingly.

"Okay, I get it now!"

Shinji Kagawa yelled suddenly, and the Japanese players put their eyes on him: "Say it!"

"Qi Jun often overlaps with my running position in the game, I think this may be an opportunity that can be used!"

"Are you looking down on me, you bastard!"

"We have a traitor among us!"

Facing the pursuit of Japanese players, Shinji Kagawa had no choice but to flee with his head in his arms, because he really could only think of what is considered a weakness of Zize in Dortmund, but this is completely useless in the match between Japan and China... …

This may be the most watched Asian Cup final. Because of the participation of a superhero balloon star like Qi Ce, the attention and brand value of the entire Asian Cup event have risen several levels. Let us see the final final, China Who can win the ice and the Japanese Messi!

In Germany, the Asian Cup final was also particularly eye-catching. Before the 20th round of the Bundesliga, Ruhr News rarely published the preparations for Dortmund, but the logo and trophy of the Asian Cup. On both sides are Qi Ce, who is wearing a Chinese red jersey, and Kagawa Shinji, who is wearing a Japanese blue jersey.

In the official final poster of the Asian Cup, the characters on both sides were replaced by Qi Ce and Keisuke Honda. Now there is a lot of debate about whether Shinji Kagawa is currently the number one player in Japanese football or Keisuke Honda, but in the AFC Come on, it is obviously Keisuke Honda, but compared to his reputation in Europe, Shinji Kagawa has gradually overwhelmed Honda.

After all, Shinji Kagawa is playing for the defending Bundesliga champion, while Honda is only in the Russian league. The Russian league is not a mainstream European league, so naturally fewer people will pay attention.

The temperature in Qatar at the end of January was relatively comfortable, and Qatar has also ushered in a period of peak tourism in the past two days, and the traditional Chinese festival Spring Festival will be ushered in a few days. During the holiday, many qualified fans have already booked their tickets to Qatar early, and they have also bought tickets to the Khalifa International Stadium.

The Khalifa International Stadium, which can accommodate more than 50,000 fans, ushered in the peak of ticket sales. This is the highest-selling game since the start of the Asian Cup. A total of more than 44,000 tickets were sold. According to statistics, from There are more than 28,000 consumers in China.

This is seven times more than the more than 4,000 Chinese fans in the first group stage!

Among them, after opening a shop and earning some money, Qi Jian became very aggressive and rewarded dozens of outstanding employees of the tea shop with his own money to go to Qatar to watch the game.

Qi Ce, Xu Hebao, and the Qi Ce Youth Football Support Foundation set up by Zhou Feng also selected several young fans to watch the game. In addition, Qi Ce also gave tickets to Wu Jiawen, Lin Xiaojia, Ai Lin et al.

This is the pinnacle feast of Asian football. In addition to a large number of Chinese football stars and Qi Ce’s relatives and friends, many world football stars also came to the scene. FIFA President Sepp Blatter, UEFA President Pratt Tini, AFC Chairman Ben Harman and others all came to the scene to watch the game. Of course, in addition, Chinese Football Association Chairman Vidi and Japanese Football Association Chairman Saburo Kawabuchi also came to the scene.

People are looking forward to, under the leadership of Qi Ce, whether it is the first time that Chinese football has reached the top of Asia, or whether Japanese football has been crowned the king of Asia four times and become the real No. 1 in Asia (Japan, which has won three championships, is currently and Iran and Saudi Arabia are tied for the number one championship), and everyone is looking forward to it.
