Hiroto Motegi didn’t make up his mind to fight until the last ten minutes.
When he used up the third substitution and replaced full-back Yoshiki Kiyota with forward Makoto Kobayashi, the Japanese team also played a three-back formation 343.
Similarly, the Japanese team's offensive also became more and more fierce.
Because they are really going to fight the Chinese team.
During this period, the pressure on the Chinese team's defense was very high, and there was a lot of noise in front of the goal, which was frightening to watch.
Although Mao Junzheng was helping, Yao Huasheng still had a hard time.
After all, as the game progressed, the injuries accumulated in his body became more and more serious. Sealing injections can only relieve pain and reduce inflammation, but cannot completely cure his injuries.
Pain is actually a signal for the body's self-protection. When you feel pain, you don't dare to exert force, so that the injured area can rest. But after taking the painkiller injection, because the pain is not so obvious, so you do the same movements as usual, but it intensifies.
Once the injury occurs, the impact on body functions will naturally be greater.
Of course Yao Huasheng knew the consequences of playing a closed game in this game, but he still chose to do so. He had no choice and was unwilling to rush on the bench.
He gritted his teeth and used strong willpower to support his body, "fighting for every inch of ground" with the Japanese players on the court.
If the Chinese team can keep the score until the end, then this will not be the Chinese team's last game in this Asian Cup, but it will be Yao Huasheng's last Asian Cup.
So deep down, Yao Huasheng plays this game as his Asian Cup final.
Defeating the Japanese team in his own Asian Cup final is indeed the best revenge for Yao Huasheng.
So even if he is injured, he will never take a step back in front of the Japanese team's offensive.
"The Japanese team has also begun to make more crosses from the wing... After all, this style of play is simpler and more direct, but this also shows that the Japanese team is getting anxious... But we can't be anxious, we must withstand it!" He Feng
Cheer up the Chinese team players in the commentary box.
In front of the TV, many Chinese fans had already left their seats and stood watching the game.
Dillon glanced at Yu Jintao who was standing in front of the sofa. His body was trembling slightly: "Relax, Yu. The Chinese team is two goals ahead. I don't believe that the Japanese team can score two goals in a row in the last few minutes."
.They are not stupid."
Yu Jintao said without looking back: "I know Jorge, but I still can't help but worry..."
He represents the vast majority of Chinese fans at this moment.
Reason tells them that the Chinese team is already two goals ahead in the score, how could it capsize at the last moment?
But their feelings prevent them from really relaxing, and they will still be uncontrollably worried and afraid... "Three Black Minutes" will come back.

After launching several consecutive crosses from the wing, when Sugiyama Tatsuya got the ball in the frontcourt, he turned a blind eye to his teammates who raised their hands to him on the wing.
He first made a sudden dunk, knocking off Xia Xiaoyu who came up to steal, and then sent a through kick!
At that time, the Chinese team’s defensive focus was on the two wings. Unexpectedly, Sugiyama Tatsuya suddenly played the football in the middle!
"Danger!"
Itonu received the ball, gently removed the ball with the outside instep of his right foot, and then raised his right foot again to shoot.
Yao Huasheng’s eyes have been fixed on Ito Nu, he knows that this person is the current top scorer of the Japanese team and the player with the greatest threat.
So when Itonu caught the ball, Yao Huasheng rushed forward and tried to block the opponent's shot.
But Itonu’s shot was a fake!
His right foot dunked the football toward the center again!
Itōnu is up to his old tricks again!
Then he swung his left leg to shoot!
At this moment, another leg stretched out from the right side of his body, it was Yao Huasheng!
He shoveled hard with all his strength, stretched his legs as far as possible, and blocked Itonu's shooting angle again!
Seeing this, Itonu could only change his actions again. He braked with his left foot and turned the shot into a ball. He used the instep of his outside foot to gently move the football to the left.
He knew that Yao Huasheng was at the end of his strength, and he could definitely knock him down completely with this move.
At that time, no one will be able to stop him from shooting...what about the ball?
Itōnu missed with one kick!
The football that was supposed to be waiting for him was gone!
At the same time that Itonu lost his balance and fell to the ground, he saw Wang Guangwei next to him who had just retracted his outstretched foot...
“Wang Guangwei! Timely rescue! Great! He and Yao Huasheng worked together to prevent Itonu from successfully shooting!”
The Japanese team soon launched another offensive. This time Masao Yonezawa took a long shot from outside the penalty area. Hao De rose into the air and punched the football out of the baseline. The Japanese team received a corner kick.
After the corner kick was taken, Zhou Zijing, who was playing as a temporary central defender, roared, and then overpowered the opponent in the competition with Kengo Yamayama to push the football away.
Hu Lai seemed to know in advance where the football would fly to, and had already appeared at the landing point. He controlled the falling football first, and then was knocked to the ground from behind by Akira Fukuzawa.
The referee's whistle then sounded.
Japan team fouled!
Fukuzawa Akira cried and complained to the referee: "I didn't use any force..."
But it was useless, because he just made an obvious pushing movement with his hands.
"Ah!" the Japanese commentator said anxiously. "Akira Fukuzawa is a little anxious... He only needs to stick to Hu Lai for this ball... The game time is getting shorter and shorter, but we are still two goals behind. Now we are still
The ball was returned to the Chinese team, and the Chinese team will definitely use this opportunity to delay a little longer..."
There was clear reproach in his words.
But he was quite restrained. On the Japanese Internet, some excited Japanese fans have asked Akira Fukuzawa to perform Japan's intangible cultural heritage "caesarean section" after the game.
How can it actually be done?
If the Japanese team ultimately loses the game, it will definitely not be Akira Fukuzawa’s fault alone.
"Hu Lai! He played very smart! The fourth official has already raised the five-minute stoppage time sign on the sidelines! There are five minutes left, there are five minutes left, and we will win the 29th victory over the Japanese national team.
The first victory!"
He Feng said excitedly.

After entering injury time, Dong Jianhai used up the last substitution.
He did not replace Yao Huasheng, but replaced Zhang Qinghuan with midfielder Leng Baoliang.
Leng Baoliang comes from Hedong Leiden in China. He is 27 years old this year and is also a defensive midfielder. His level is average, and he was only a marginal international player in the national team before. If Gao Ruimin hadn't recovered from his injury, he might not have been able to participate.
Asian Cup.
But now is not the time to care about his level. In the last few minutes of the game, he was replaced to strengthen the midfield defense. In any case, he is also a full-time midfielder, and his defensive level is higher than Zhang Qinghuan. At the same time, this substitution also has a very important role, that is
Spend more time.
Zhang Qinghuan obviously understood very well. When he was replaced, he did not trot all the way, but walked leisurely.
After completing the substitutions, the Chinese team basically retreated to their own half, building a high wall in the 30-meter area, preparing to push through the last few minutes of the game.
Even Zhou Zijing retreated to defend, leaving only Hu Lai at the front.
The Japanese team came out in full force and launched a crazy counterattack.
At this time, they did not care about organizing a sophisticated attack, but tried every means to pass the football to the Chinese team's goal. As for whether the teammates can catch it after passing it, it doesn't matter. As long as it can create chaos.
Perhaps it hit someone, bounced off and flew into the goal, and a goal was scored?
But to be honest, this approach is more like a desperate struggle because even the Japanese players know in their hearts that even if they are lucky enough to score a goal, they will still be one goal away from the Chinese team.
lose.
And the remaining game time is no longer enough to support them to score two goals in a row!
“Ninety-four minutes of injury time...one minute left until the end of the game! One minute left before the Chinese team beats the Japanese team for the first time in 29 years!” He Feng had already started counting down excitedly.
Although the Chinese fans in front of the TV have not yet reached the point of celebrating wildly, they have gradually been unable to suppress their inner excitement.
Some fans on the Internet celebrated in advance and posted messages congratulating the Chinese team on their victory over the Japanese team and their successful revenge.
More fans mocked the Japanese team mercilessly:
"The Japanese team before the Asian Cup: I want to defend the championship! The current Japanese team: 嘤嘤嘤..."
"Good and evil will eventually be rewarded, and the way of heaven is reincarnation; if you don't believe it, look up and see who will be spared by heaven!"
“National Football Team: I’m not trying to prove how great I am, I just want to tell you that I went there and will definitely get it back!”
“There is no time left for the Japanese team...at all!”
※※※
Because the Chinese team had a two-goal lead, after the five-minute stoppage time was up, the referee did not perform any extra stoppage time. Giving an extra minute or two to the Japanese team was meaningless.
He blew the whistle directly to end the game!
“The game is over!!” At the same time as the whistle sounded, He Feng roared at the top of his lungs, and the Chinese fans at the scene roared with cheers.
The Chinese team players on the field raised their arms high with the whistle and cheers to celebrate this amazing victory!
The Chinese team players off the court have rushed into the court, cheering and hugging their teammates on the court.
Wang Guangwei hugged team leader Yao Huasheng nearby: "Team Yao, Team Yao! We won! We took revenge!"
Yao Huasheng leaned against him and just smiled without speaking.
On the sidelines, Dong Jianhai walked towards Japan team coach Hiroto Motegi, and he took the initiative to extend his hand.
But the other party simply shook his hand and turned around to leave. It was obvious that he was in a very bad mood.
Dong Jianhai didn’t care much about Motegi’s impolite behavior. He turned around and walked back to the coaching bench, where he was hugged by team leader Hong Renjie.
“Congratulations, Old Dong! You won!!”
Dong Jianhai smiled and corrected him: "The Chinese team won."
