Reborn on Top of Football

With the end of the Sino-Japanese war, the current Asian Cup is coming to an end and is also approaching its climax. In another match, Iraq and South Korea fought for 120 minutes, and finally eliminated South Korea through a penalty kick. After reaching the semi-finals for the first time, they reached the Asian Cup final for the first time!

Iraq is deeply mired in war. The national team could not even find a training venue in Iraq and had to seek help from friendly countries. Probably also in this kind of internal and external troubles and poverty, the internal unity of the Iraqi team has reached the highest level in history. The Iraqi players have also put aside their disputes and guards, and also put down their personal ambitions. Probably this is a kind of "sorrow for the soldiers to win." The Iraqi team, which was not originally strong, abruptly relied on superb unity and cooperation to kill the Chinese team.

Wang Ai admires this Iraqi team and probably understands their situation, but Iraq needs this championship, and China needs it too!

So admire and admire, but Wang Ai still intends to go all out.

Before the game, Xue Li, the vice chairman who came to Indonesia from Beijing specially entrusted by Yan Shiduo, visited the national team members, and also specially found Wang Ai to talk, said Xiao Wang, did you deliberately? In the first five games, two in one game? Can’t one more or one less?

Wang Ai nodded openly and admitted, "Vice Chairman Xue, I have reservations. After all, our goal is at least the top four. We must use our strength equally and give our teammates a chance."

"What about the final?" Xue Li smiled happily.

"Look at it!" Wang Ai said with a smile.

In fact, after the last game against Japan, the Chinese media made a big splash. Wang Ai broke two important records in one game: One is the scoring record in a single Asian Cup, which was in 1996. Ali Daiyi and Bai Guanghai in 2004 shared 8 goals, while Wang Ai now has 10 goals; the second is to break the Chinese national team's individual goal record. At present, Wang Ai has participated in 26 A-level matches of the national team and scored 42 goals! He became the "strongest scorer" in the history of the Chinese national team.

Some derivative records above this, what is the most efficient, what is the youngest, do not need to go into details.

In the last Asian Cup, Wang Ai did not score many goals, so even if Wang Ai was full of honors in Europe, he was affirmed in Asia, but there was always a missing piece in the core Asian Cup. It seemed that the "Wang Ai era" did not match the name. real.

At the same time, this ball is basically booked for the Golden Boot Award of the current Asian Cup. Now Wang Ai has 10 goals, the second is Bai Guanghai has 5, and the third is Saudi Arabia’s Yasser and Japan’s Gaotai Naotai with 4 ball. Moreover, according to Wang Ai's general rules, he is likely to score again in the final, once again refreshing his Asian Cup shooter record.

As a result, in the first half of 2007 and the summer, Wang Ai won a total of four Golden Boots in the Premier League, Europe, Champions League, and Asian Cup. It shattered any AFC's idea of ​​rejecting him to continue to be the Asian Footballer. The new two awards competition at the end of the year added a lot of weight!

On the day of the final, the Grola Puncano Stadium in Jakarta was finally full of spectators. In the finals, one is the legendary and sympathetic Iraqi team, and the other is the Chinese team with the pinnacle of strength and Wang Ai. Regardless of the outcome of the game, it is enough to be talked about.

The two sides who reached the final and the winner of the previous third place competition, South Korea, have directly entered the 2011 Qatar Asian Cup finals, which means that the Chinese team has a large number of overseas players and does not need to compete for the next Asian Cup qualifiers again. And running back and forth.

Before the final, FIFA President Blatter and AFC President Haman walked to the middle circle and shook hands with the players of both sides. Wang Ai, the captain of the game, was at the front of the queue and shook hands with the two big figures and waited for the game to start.

At 8:35 in the evening, the referee blew a whistle, marking the start of the last match of the Asian Cup.

The Chinese team put up a 451 formation, single forward Bai Guanghai, single midfielder Wang Ai, bilateral forwards Hao Junmin, Chen Tao, Shao Jiayi and Zheng Zhi partnered with double midfielders. Then Luo Tongliang partnered with Zhang Yaokun as the double central defender, the bilateral defenders were Sun Jihai and Zhang Yonghai, and the goalkeeper was still Zong Lei.

The Iraqi team has a limited number of players and has not changed the starting lineup for the semifinals.

The starting lineups of both sides are quite satisfactory and similar to outside forecasts. However, the changes of the Chinese team were not anticipated by the outside world. After carefully studying the Iraqi team’s game video, the national team’s coaching staff believed that the Iraqi team’s personal strength was average, but the overall integrity and cooperation were good, so it was necessary to break the Iraqi team’s strength. Close cooperation, the key is to compete for midfield.

In this way, the offensive power is weak, but Bai Guanghai and Wang Ai is the second and first shooter of this Asian Cup. Such a combination is worried, what else do you want? So leave the offense to the two of them as much as you want, and everyone can defend.

Not only that, the cooperation of bilateral forwards and bilateral guards also means that the national team's tactical thinking is not conservative. While competing for midfield, it also has the meaning of delivering shells to the center through wing penetration.

After the start of the game, the focus of the competition between the two sides was indeed on the midfield. Shao Jiayi and Zheng Zhi were both capable of offensive and defensive, while Hao Junmin and Chen Tao had sharp passes and exquisite footwork. The well-prepared Chinese team started. It was somewhat cautious, but after a few minutes of collision, it was discovered that Iraq was more nervous than the Chinese team. Although the formation is 442, it is a defensive counterattack. The back line is in the penalty area, the back midfielder is at the top of the penalty area arc, and only two forwards are remote controlled in front.

In this way, the Chinese team completely let go of their hands and feet.

"You let me fight!"

In the 9th minute of the game, Wang Ai received an oblique pass from Hao Junmin and drove the ball to the top of the penalty area to find opportunities. After up to four players blocked and chased, Wang Ai continuously changed directions, dribbled and swayed. , Anti-grab, change direction, dribbling, shaking...

The wonderful display of personal skills finally broke the siege among the two Iraqi players. But at this moment, Wang Ai, who barely rushed out under the siege of the four Iraqi players who cooperated with the tacit understanding, had lost his center of gravity and could not shoot. , The first to win.

1:0!

With cheers in the stadium, Lao Bai pulled up Wang Ai and ran back together, welcoming crazy hugs from many teammates. In the crowd, Wang Ai looked back and saw that the Iraqi team members were encouraging each other, but their expressions were still full of depression.

Seeing this scene, Wang Ai secretly breathed out that the spirit of the Iraqi team was knocked out. This is what worries Wang Ai the most. Objectively speaking, Wang Ai doesn't care about the Iraqi team's personal skills, but the high level of mutual cooperation still makes Wang Ai feel big, so he tries to use his high-level skills to destroy the Iraqi team's confidence in winning.

So far, it seems to be okay.
