Please continue to ask for subscriptions, monthly votes and recommendation votes ^_^ As for the analysis of this game by the media from various countries, There are so many different things, good and bad, but the Korean media are in mourning and say a lot of self-defense. However, what is interesting is that the reasons used by these Korean media to defend and even subsidize their teams are quite consistent with what Gao Jun said in an interview after the game, "When they failed to beat South Korea in the past 30 years, the strength of the Korean team We are better than us, but in fact the difference is only one goal. It is not as exaggerated as "not defeating South Korea for thirty years", which is very accidental; and now although we have won the South Korean team by six goals in this game, but Such an exaggerated result is also very accidental. We cannot think that our strength has opened up the six-goal gap between the Korean team.¡± ¡°First of all, the Korean team was somewhat unprepared for our new tactics in this game, and we were the first to win.¡± After scoring a goal, the South Korean team, which has always been good at defensive, error-free, and novel defensive counterattacks, had to attack, which gave us more opportunities; then we did a very good job in seizing the opportunity in front of the goal today. , Under normal circumstances, we cannot score 6 goals with today's number of shots. When we can achieve today's efficiency in most games, then we will be a truly strong team, yes, a strong team in the world; Also, the opponent we encountered this time was the South Korean team. If it were another team that had lost so many goals, they would probably have lost interest in the game and retreated. In that case, it would be difficult for our offense to launch, but the South Korean team Only by constantly attacking us did we have the opportunity to score so many goals. In addition, because they kept attacking fiercely without even taking a step back to slow down the rhythm in the middle, the Korean team's physical energy consumption was very high. Coupled with the hot and humid climate in Southeast Asia, South Korea suffered a lot. The team's physical fitness collapsed in the final stage of the game, which itself has a great impact. What's more, the Korean team still lacks the experience of playing when their physical fitness is at a disadvantage, because usually their opponents are physically exhausted earlier, and it doesn't matter if they lose so much in the end. It¡¯s so strange.¡± After Gao Jun expressed his views, he talked to reporters about Zeng Cheng's injury. "What is a little gratifying is that Zeng Cheng did only have a rib fracture, which should not affect his study abroad. However, his body is prone to injury. Gao Jun is worried about the future development prospects of his old teammate. In addition, no matter how quickly Zeng Cheng recovers, he will definitely miss the remaining games of this Asian Cup. Therefore, the second goalkeeper Wang Dalei, who is extremely talented but never calm enough, will get the chance to start in the next game. . After defeating their old enemy South Korea, the Chinese team advanced to the semi-finals. Their opponent was the Iraqi team that eliminated the Vietnamese team in the quarter-finals. At this time, except for Gao Jun, no one in the Chinese team could fully realize the strength of this Iraqi team. In addition, after the 6:0 sweep of the South Korean team, the boys of the Chinese team were more or less arrogant and complacent. Even the head coach Krauchen was dissatisfied with Iraq due to his unstable performance in the previous games. This dark horse was underestimated. As a result, following the last game, the Chinese team once again disappointed everyone on the night of July 25th. The match between the Chinese team and the Iraqi team started in the rain to inspect the players. Krauchen made a certain rotation of the starting players. In addition to Wang Dalei, who replaced the injured Zeng Cheng, Yu Hai, who performed well in the previous game, did not start. He was replaced by overage player Zheng Zhi, and the main right-hand player Defender Sun Jihai's starting position was replaced by teenager Peng. Deng Zhuoxiang, who started as a midfielder in the previous game, returned to the left midfielder position this time. The attacking midfielder position was given to No. 10 Chen Tao, whom Krauchen valued very much. In addition, the main defensive midfielder Yang Hao, who had basically locked in an over-age player quota, was also placed on the bench. His replacement was currently playing in Belgium's Antwerp Zhou Huakai, who plays for the team, rotated so many players in the knockout stage. Obviously Krauchen did not take the Iraqi team to heart, but it didn't take long after the game started. The Iraqi team took the lead in knocking on the Chinese team's goal. The newborn Wang Dalei didn't have any stage fright even in such a crucial game. She even showed off her skills to the Iraqi forward Younis who was rushing over to press him. However, the slippery turf in the rain really gave Wang Dalei a hard time. Although his fake move successfully deceived Younis, he also slipped and fell. Younis seized the opportunity and rushed over to shoot. The ball was scored into an empty goal, and all the Chinese fans in the stands were stunned for a moment. Krauchen on the sidelines couldn't help but cover his forehead. He knew that this kid liked to make two mistakes, but he didn't expect to do it so quickly. Although he was very dissatisfied with Wang Dalei's performance, in order to protect the self-esteem of the young players, Krauchen did not replace him and loudly encouraged the players on the field to cheer up and strengthen their offense. However, this played into the Iraqi team's hands. This team's ability to attack tough situations is actually not very strong. They didn't win against the weak Thai team in the group stage, and they could only win against the Vietnamese team in the knockout round.They scored two goals, but their defensive counterattack style was very efficient. The Australian team, which wanted to come to Asia to take advantage, was actually defeated by them 3:1 in the group stage, which is a good example. However, when the score is behind, it cannot be wrong to strengthen the offense. The key depends on which team scores the goal first. Although the defense of the Iraqi team is very strong, the offensive power of the Chinese team has now surpassed Asia. It is simply impossible to prevent them from having any chance. However, the rainy environment caused a lot of interference to Gao Jun, who has always been stable and reliable in shooting. In the first half of the game, he missed two shots and made several mistakes in receiving passes. However, Gao Jun I am afraid that Jun¡¯s comment that he is ¡°not good at fighting in the rain¡± will be mentioned again by media reporters after the game. In addition to Gao Jun, other Chinese team players also had several shooting opportunities, but they also failed to grasp them. On the contrary, the Iraqi team's good luck in this game has not yet run out. In the 36th minute, Zheng Zhi, who replaced Yu Hai as a free agent in this game, dribbled the ball forward, but his old habit of sticking to the ball was exposed again. Coming out, when two opponents players came to double-team, Zheng Zhi did not get the ball out immediately, but was intercepted by the opponent, and immediately launched a quick counterattack. Since the Chinese team's defense line was missing one person at this time, and he was still in the crucial central defender position, the Iraqi team's quick counterattack succeeded and expanded the score on the field again to 2:0. Chinese fans were extremely dissatisfied with this, and a few even shouted "match-fixing." Before the end of the first half, Zheng Zhi made another similar mistake. Fortunately, this time Wang Dalei struck out in time and successfully resolved the danger. Otherwise, the Chinese team would go up. If we trailed 0:3 at halftime, the game would really be unplayable. Fans could only see Zheng Zhi¡¯s problem in these two mistakes. Some even called it a ¡°cancer¡± unkindly, while on the sidelines Krauchen saw more, "Zhou Huakai's defensive awareness is much worse than that of Yang Hao, otherwise he may not concede a goal. It seems that he still cannot play as a single defensive midfielder. But if the team only has Yang Hao If a player is capable of playing as a single defensive midfielder, considering the risks of injuries and suspensions, he must prepare another formation without a free agent." But even so, Krauchen was not satisfied with Zheng Zhi. "Zheng Zhi is too attached to the ball. Even in such an important game, he can't change his bad habits. His self-control is too poor to play as a free agent. Alas, it's a pity. With such a strong personal ability, how can he get used to playing football? So bad? It seems that he can only be discarded. There is only one person who is qualified for the free agent position. Sure enough, we must prepare a new style of play." In the second half, Krauchen replaced Yang Hao and Yu Hai, and the Chinese team was on the court. The defense suddenly became much more stable, and the offensive line also performed better and better because of its stable mentality. But even so, the Iraqi team's quick counterattacks and set pieces can still make the Chinese fans in the stands exclaim from time to time. At this time, everyone realized that this Iraqi team was much stronger than they originally thought, especially when playing against strong players. When team. In the 50th minute, Iraq threw a throw-in from the left side of the front court. Hawal hooked the ball in front of the baseline to the middle of the penalty area. Younis shot slightly wide, scaring the Chinese fans in the stands. However, the Chinese team, which was increasingly aggressive, managed to regain a point after six minutes. Gao Jun unexpectedly scored the Iraqi team's goal with a long shot from outside the penalty area, boosting the morale of the whole team. Unfortunately, luck was on the side of the Iraqis in this game. In the 60th minute, Younis's long-range shot from the outside that was originally missed hit the young general Peng and flew into the net, turning the score into At 1:3, the depressed Wang Dalei could only vent his anger on the football in the net, while Peng stubbornly raised his head and looked at the Iraqi team's goal in the distance. But no matter what, there were only more than 30 minutes left in the game but we were two goals behind. This game was really difficult to play. But the boys of the Chinese team did not give up. In the 81st minute, the Chinese team relied on active frontcourt pressing to win a goal. Although the corner kick opportunity was pushed out of the penalty area by an Iraqi player at the first point, the ball flew towards Peng who was ambushing outside the penalty area. The latter rushed forward and shot the ball directly without any adjustment. The ball flew straight into the goal. Near angle. Because there were too many people in the penalty area blocking the line of sight, by the time the Iraqi team's goalkeeper noticed something was wrong, it was too late to make a save. Peng, who scored this goal, achieved his own redemption and greatly boosted the morale of the Chinese team. However, due to running out of time and a significant decline in physical fitness, the Chinese team ended up losing to the Iraqi team with a score of 2:3.
