Chapter 672 He Can Be Popular for at Least 10 Years

Also on July 25th, Beijing time, at the My Dinh National Stadium in Hanoi, in another semi-final of the 2007 Asian Cup, history changed. The score was still 3:2, but the result was completely opposite. The defending champion 3:2 Defeated Saudi Arabia.

The game was exciting, and in the end the Japanese team, which had superior technical and tactical experience, advanced to the finals.

Having reached the finals seven times in the past seven Asian Cups, the Japanese team's dream of winning three consecutive championships continues to advance. This is a pretty terrifying result. It is almost impossible to happen, that is to say, Japan has always been at the highest level of Asian football.

The opponent in this final is, like the last time, China.

"Beat China and win three consecutive championships!" Little Japan's self-confidence is quite strong, and "Asahi Shimbun" sent out the strongest battle signal at the moment the game ended.

"They were losers three years ago, and they will still be losers three years later! Dong Fangzhuo cannot stop us from winning three consecutive Asian Cups."

The extremely aggressive language of "Asahi Shimbun" teased the nerves of Chinese fans. Maybe in Asia, only Japan is so crazy. Of course, they have crazy capital.

"The strength of the Japanese team does not lie in the strength of any one player, but that every player is strong and the whole team is stronger. Japan has continuous skills and tactics. No matter who appears in the coaching position, they will not take it easy. Change. I believe Japan can defeat the Chinese team and achieve three consecutive championships." The famous Japanese player Hidetoshi Nakata looked forward to this final, believing that Japan has a greater chance and gave his own opinion.

"China is very strong. In fact, their level has dropped a lot since 2004, especially after that group of players retired. But after a group of players emerged in the 2005 World Youth Championship, they suddenly became stronger again. In the next ten years , they are all our biggest enemies.”

Hidetoshi Nakata was talking about Hao Haidong's group. At that time, China's football strength had actually become weaker since 2002...

"In fact, Japanese football still has many advantages. We have a mature system, and they have just started. Our talent pool is much richer than theirs, and our youth development is much better than theirs. These are our advantages."

Hidetoshi Nakata actually has a lot of ideas, and he was also the number one player in Asian football back then. After him, Japanese football talents also began to explode. What he said is correct...

This final also reminded Chinese fans of three years ago.

In the final three years ago, China lost quite badly.

three years ago!

Three years ago, the Chinese team lost to Japan 1:3 at home!

That Asian Cup final was not only the Chinese team's own problem, but also more affected by the referee's "evil" misjudgment! There was no problem with the first goal scored by the Japanese team at that time. But soon, Yan Song, a powerful Chinese team at the time, dribbled the ball past the opponent from the outside of the penalty area and passed it to Li Ming. Under the interference of the two opponents, Li Ming took advantage of the situation and fell to the ground to tackle and shoot to tie the score.

The turning point was the third goal of the game - after the Japanese team passed the ball, the players in front of the goal scored the ball. Then the Chinese team immediately protested strongly and kept signaling to the referee that the ball belonged to the opponent. Hand scored. Moreover, live TV broadcasts and on-site screens also replayed the goal many times, clearly showing that the goal was obviously scored with the arm of a Japanese player. The motivation of this player was also very obvious, but the referee never changed the decision!

This misjudgment will have a serious impact on any team! Although the Chinese team had several chances afterwards, they were eventually beaten by the Japanese team at the end of the game and scored another goal!

At this point, China ranked second with 1:3! We were extremely angry at that time and even cursed while sleeping. If the referee did not misjudge at that time, the Asian Cup champion would most likely be the Chinese team. In this game, laymen can also see that the Chinese team's offense is obviously more threatening than the Japanese team's offense, which always puts the Japanese team in a high state of tension. ! That Chinese team was led by Dutch coach Ali Han, and their all-attack, all-defense style of play also made the Chinese team at the top level in Asia!

The 2004 Asian Cup final was a great pity.

But all this has become an established fact.

Today, the only players still in that national team are Li Weifeng and Zheng Zhi, and the others are gone.

This time, can the Chinese team take revenge?

"I hope they can play well and win the Chinese team's first championship in the Asian Cup." Hao Haidong was interviewed by domestic reporters. His eyes were full of eagerness. He had a wish that had not been achieved in his generation. He hoped that he could succeed this time. , and then he also talked about Dong Fangzhuo.

"Dong Fangzhuo is already the best striker in the world, and he is the best future of Chinese football. Many people say he looks like me, and I feel very scared, haha."

Next, he also talked about the Japanese team, but there was some contempt in his words.

"Actually, we have never been afraid of the Japanese team. It is the Japanese team that is afraid of us. Although this Japanese team is very strong, their height is their disadvantage. Although our overall strength is slightly worse, I do not agree with Hidetoshi Nakata's point of view. Dong Fangzhuo This is the key to this game. Whether it is getting rid of the ball or competing for the high ball, Dong Fangzhuo has a natural advantage, so I dare to put it here."

Then, Hao Haidong said a new famous saying - Dong Fangzhuo will be popular for at least ten years.

"..."

This sentence reached Dong Fangzhuo's ears, and Dong Fangzhuo couldn't help but smile.

this……

Didn’t the original sentence say ‘it will be popular for at most three years’? Of course, I'm talking about Ronaldo. He once said that a player like Cristiano Ronaldo would not be popular for more than three years, but he was slapped in the face. Fortunately, he made a substitution this time.

Now, Hao Haidong is talking about him, Dong Fangzhuo.

Ten years of popularity means that Dong Fangzhuo was 33 years old at that time...

Dong Fangzhuo can only hope that his mouth is not Bailey...

※※※※

On the evening of July 29, 2007, the Asian Cup final was about to begin. Before the game, the betting company offered a handicap and it was a tie.

We are not optimistic about China or Japan, and we only let fans bet on winning or losing. Of course, if you buy the Chinese team to win, you will earn less, and if you buy Japan, you will earn more.

As Chinese fans, they will naturally only stand on the side of the Chinese team. Even those who bet on football will also experience strong fluctuations at this critical moment.

"What the hell, you used to get rich if you bought the Chinese team and lost, but today you have to buy the Chinese team and win!"

"Then you push down the house at home."

"..."

"My house is rented..."

The betting company also gave another odds, the odds of Dong Fangzhuo scoring a goal in the game. The odds of scoring one goal are 1:1.3, and the odds of scoring two goals are 3 to 1.

"This odds is too weird. The odds of scoring one goal are so low, but the odds of scoring two goals are high. What does this mean?"

"At least there was a goal in the game..."
