Hashazayed stadium.

The Asian Cup semi-final between China and Japan was held in this stadium.

A large number of Chinese and Japanese fans have gathered in the stands before the game. Japanese fans wear blue shirts, while Chinese fans wear red shirts, which is clear-cut and the cheering momentum is matched by each other.

Now the public opinion environment is better than in the past few years. In football matches, there is no need to resist Japan as before, and the once national hatred has been extended to the sports level.

The Chinese team has been weak in football for many years, while the Japanese team's football level has improved by leaps and bounds in the past two decades. Perhaps the gap has become larger and larger, which has led to the fact that the external public opinion has no expectations for the Chinese team. Now the progress of the Chinese team in Asia has made people pay more attention to the Chinese team's own level and strength, and have experienced the Russian World Cup, Everyone's self-confidence has also improved somewhat.

You don't need to take who you beat as a milestone node to prove what level your level has risen to.

Perhaps it is a legendary coach like situ Yunbing who teaches the Chinese team, so that the fans also move their eyes upward. There is no need to deliberately enlarge their opponents and focus on themselves is the way of the strong!

When situ Yunbing spoke to the team in the dressing room before the game, he also specially stressed his sense of normality. In this game, he asked the team to give full play to its own strength and not be influenced by other emotions.

When he appeared on the sidelines of hashazayed stadium, some neutral fans were cheering for him!

As the biggest coach of this Asian Cup, situ Yunbing may lead the team to the top four. For him, it is only a reflection of the passing line. If he can lead the Chinese team to the finals, it will be slightly higher than expected.

However, for neutral fans, China may be the second team to play exceptionally well so far in this Asian Cup. The first is Qatar. Qatar has not only maintained a complete victory, but also sealed its opponents every game!

As for other teams, especially strong teams, even if they win all the way, either because the opponent's strength is not strong, or the win is not so strong!

Situ Yunbing nodded and greeted Japanese team coach mori on the sidelines. After all, they had fought before. They met in the same competition this time and were not strangers to each other.

When the starting players of the two teams entered the field, the atmosphere of hashazayed stadium reached a climax.

The players of the Chinese team and the Japanese team hold their heads high and stand tall. When they line up on the court for pre kick-off awareness, anyone can see that they are full of war!

"CCTV, CCTV, dear viewers, good evening!

Welcome to the 2019 UAE Asian Cup semi-final. China and Japan will compete for a final ticket today. In another semi-final, Qatar will compete for another final ticket with the host UAE. It is surprising that Qatar beat South Korea in the top eight.

What's more surprising is that the United Arab Emirates killed Australia and became the biggest dark horse of this Asian Cup!

Among the top four teams in this Asian Cup, except Japan, which has won the Asian Cup four times, the other three teams have not won the Asian Cup!

Therefore, there is no doubt that this Asian Cup has been popular one after another!

In the friendly match four months ago, the Chinese team once beat the Japanese team on the road. Today, the meeting of the two teams again will surely spark passion!

Let's take a look at the starting lineup of the two teams.

The Chinese team started 433 today

Goalkeeper: Shen Jingjie.

Guards: Zhang Linpeng, Bai yuanfan, Cheng Renjun, Li Xuepeng.

Midfield: Zhang Zhibang, Zhao Fenghua, Huang Bozhou.

Forwards: Luo Xin, Wu Lei, Luo Cheng.

Japan also started 433 today

Goalkeeper: Kota Xiuyi.

Guards: Sakai Hongshu, Fuan Jianyang, Yoshida mayalso, Changyou Youdu.

Midfield: Kato, Haraguchi, shizaki Yue.

Forward: Nanye Tuoshi, Da forced Yongye, Tang Anlu.

Today, both teams took out their strongest lineup to face the game. We hope both teams can play well. Situ Yunbing used to coach in European football and often said before the key game that he hoped his opponent would perform well, because he always longed for a peak competition and a really wonderful game. I hope today's game is like this! "

When the referee whistled the whistle at the beginning of the game, the Japanese team that took the lead in kicking off immediately launched a fast break to the Chinese team!

Mori Baoyi has formulated a start-up strategy for the team. He doesn't want to give the Chinese team time to enter the game state. He expects to frighten the Chinese team from the beginning and make the Chinese team unable to find the rhythm!

Yuankou Yuanqi slanted the ball to the right in the middle of the front court. When Nanye Tuoshi met Li Xuepeng, he stabbed the ball to the front right of the restricted area. Da Jiyong also took the initiative to run to support. Before Zhang Zhibang's defense was in place, he kicked the ball and sent it to the bottom line of the road outside the restricted area.

Li Xuepeng entered the restricted area for defense. Nanye Tuoshi regained control of the ball in front of the bottom line of the sideline. Da forced Yong to insert in the middle, and the Tang'an law at the far end is also cutting in quickly!

The defense line of the Chinese team naturally retreated to the restricted area, and Zhang Zhibang ran to mark Yuankou's vitality.

Nanye Tuoshi hit the ball obliquely back to the right in front of the restricted area in front of the bottom line.

Before Huang Bozhou was destroyed, chaizaki Yue hit the ball and started shooting!

The football flew directly to the near corner of the goal. The ball was played with high quality, but goalkeeper Shen Jingjie concentrated and prepared enough. He threw the ball out of the bottom line with one palm!

After the successful save, Shen Jingjie calmly pointed to his teammates in the direction of corner kick, indicating that someone should block the players receiving the other party's tactical corner kick.

"Shen Jingjie! Shen Jingjie, who was called the God of World War I by domestic fans in the last game against Iran, made meritorious contributions at the beginning!

SHIZUKI Yue's long-range shot was very sudden. The Japanese team's offensive cooperation efficiency is very high. In terms of overall teamwork, the Japanese team can be said to be the best offensive team in Asia!

As long as it is not a world-class strong team, the Japanese team has the capital to obtain the ball control advantage in front of the team and play a very beautiful offensive!

If sun Xingyu of South Korea makes South Korea have the strongest individual weapon, then the overall offensive strength of Japan is the top benchmark in Asia!

Through this competition, if we measure which team is the best in defensive counterattack, I'm afraid we have to choose between China and Qatar! "

The opening momentum of the Japanese team was fierce. Although the Chinese team fell into passivity, it did not panic. This is a good phenomenon.

Although the corner attack of the Japanese team failed to pose a threat, the Japanese team reorganized the attack by holding the ball in the midfield.

In the third minute of the game, Haraguchi hit the wall with chaizaki Yue in the front court, and then suddenly sent the ball to the left.

When Zhang Zhibang helped defend Tang Anlu on the sideline, the latter missed the ball, and veteran Chang youyou quickly killed the ball close to the sideline.

Zhang Linpeng recovered and guarded the inside line. Chang youyou suddenly crossed the ball, accelerated towards the bottom line, and then sent a cross to the ground.

Zhang Linpeng twisted and directly put the shovel to destroy the ball out of the bottom line.

Although he failed to control the ball, his defense still made situ Yunbing nod slightly on the sideline.

After the opening, the Japanese team attacked continuously and obtained corner attack opportunities continuously.

However, if the two central defenders Masai Yoshida and kenyo Fuan do not come up, then the Japanese team has no advantage of fighting for headers in the air.

This time, Fuan Jianyang came up, and the corner from Changyou Youdu was pushed out of the bottom line by chaizaki Yue in front of the restricted area.

The ball didn't pose much threat.

Situ Yunbing breathed out a long breath. The Japanese team made a fierce attack after the opening. The Chinese team is now in the pressure stage. As long as the opponent doesn't break the goal, the situation will change a little bit to the positive side of the Chinese team.

While the Chinese team was under pressure, it was also looking for rhythm to integrate into the game. In the fifth minute of the game, the Chinese team made a fast attack in the front court. Zhao Fenghua oblique passed the ball to the right in the front court under the attack of Chai Qiyue and Yuankou.

Luo Xin took the ball and immediately shifted the ball to the inside line, but Chang youyou changed his desire to kill the inside line in advance when he grabbed the ball, which surprised Luo Xin. Then Chang youyou grabbed his position and cut off the connection between him and the football to complete the ball breaking!

The Chinese fans in the stands held their heads and sighed!

Situ Yunbing was not disappointed on the sidelines. After all, changyouyouyoudu is a veteran who has been involved in European football for many years. Naturally, he is very rich in experience. He has a little research on Luo Xin. Even if he just gambles in advance, the odds of winning changyouyoudu will not be low!

Changyou Youdu's successful defense reassured Mori a little. He was really afraid that the two supernovae of the Chinese team would turn the Japanese team's defense upside down on the field!

You know, in the last friendly match, it was these two people who caught the Japanese team by surprise.

In the 7th minute of the game, the Japanese team made a fast attack in the front court and continuously passed the match. Sakai Hongshu assisted to the front court to receive the pass to chaizaki Yue, and then sent the straight plug ball to the right rib hinterland of the restricted area. Nanye Tuoshi made a quick cut and grabbed the ball in front of Cheng Renjun before blocking it.

Seeing that Da Jiyong also killed in front of the door, Bai yuanfan helped defend in front of the door and put a shovel to block the other party's shooting angle at the critical moment. Da Jiyong can only shoot at the first time, and his front Shen Jingjie has attacked and killed in front of him!

Da forced Yong's shot almost into Shen Jingjie's arms!

"Da Jiyong's shot was directly held in Shen Jingjie's arms!

Although the Chinese team's flank defense was broken through, it was fortunately that the front defense successfully resolved the danger!

The offensive threat of the Japanese team is clear at a glance! "

Senbao looked sorry. The ball felt a bit worse!

Situ Yunbing clapped his hands on the sidelines to boost the team's morale!

The defense of the Chinese team should resist beating now. If it can carry it, then the Japanese team will gradually lose its square inch.

Compared with the perseverance of the last game, this game tests the tenacity of the defense!
