This Asian Cup is divided into four groups, with a total of 16 teams and four seed teams. They are the four teams that directly entered the World Cup through the World Cup qualifiers last year, namely China, Japan, Iran, and Saudi Arabia. South Korea is the
Unfortunately, I didn't make it into the qualifying round. After two death trips, I finally entered the World Cup tenaciously. However, in the main round of the World Cup, I was eliminated in the first round like Japan, Iran, and Saudi Arabia. As a result, this Asian Cup
Among the four seeded teams, South Korea lost.
The South Korean team, which was fourth in the World Cup five years ago, can be said to have fallen as high as it soared in the beginning. But that's all. The key is that after South Korea, a first-rate team in Asia, was reduced to a second-rate team, the other four teams
The first seeded team was scared: Don’t ever team up with me!
What happened in the end? Among the four seeded teams, the Chinese team is currently ranked highest, so the Korean team moved into the Chinese team.
No matter how much the phoenix sheds its feathers, it is still not a chicken!
Therefore, the Chinese team is facing a formidable enemy, and most of its preparations are directed at the Korean team.
Even Wang Ai doesn't dare to be careless. It's still the Korean team after all. Although Wang Ai believes that no one in the Korean team can curb his performance, he doesn't dare to guarantee that he will be able to defeat his opponent if he leads the team. So after this
After a small exchange of off-site matters, Wang Ai himself also actively participated in preparing for the battle.
But no one expected that the "peak battle between China and South Korea" that started on July 15 was actually not worthy of its name. In just the first half, the South Korean team fell behind 0:3. The course of the game was quite similar to the previous game against Malaysia.
Similarly, at the beginning of the game, Wang Ai used his physical strength, and when he was most conscious, he used unstoppable dribbling and shot to score two goals for the Chinese team. Although he relaxed a little, he still cooperated with Shao Jiayi before half-time.
, In the end, Shao Jia made a good pass from the bottom and was finished by Bai Guanghai in front of the goal.
After such a first half, Wang Ai was replaced again at midfield. As a result, the Chinese team still performed well, and the South Korean team only scored a goal near the end of the game.
Coach Jin Zhiyang, who was in charge of commentating the game on Beijing TV, said in the post-match summary: "My heart was hanging on the whole game. Even if Xiao Wang scored two goals in a row, I was not completely relieved. Until the end of the game, it was the Korean team after all.
.I think most of us who are engaged in football across the country have the same mentality as me. To be honest, is the Korean team weaker than before? Not necessarily, the main reason is that we are stronger than before. It is unexpectedly strong, but it is also reasonable.
among.”
Coincidentally, CCTV guest Zhang Lu, who was responsible for the commentary of this game, also expressed a similar view: "After winning against the South Korean team, South Korea is also a top team in Asia. In essence, there is no absolute strength gap with us, especially in terms of football foundation.
In terms of football echelon. Of course, those of us who are clearly aware of the above gap may still be surprised that we defeated the South Korean team so easily today. Because in the past, our Chinese football team, oh, mainly the Chinese men’s football team, has let us down too many times.
.”
The comments of the two experts may seem unremarkable on the surface, but the domestic football world is in the final game between reformers and conservatives, so their speeches corroborated a series of Wang Ai’s previous views, so in the second part of the opinion publication
God, it immediately triggered a backlash from conservatives.
However, these quarrels in the rear cannot change the relaxed atmosphere in the front team. Two consecutive victories means that they have qualified for the group. The last opponent is Uzbekistan, an underdog. This is especially true for Wang Ai. All the quarrels in the rear are based on
In terms of the record ahead, as long as the Chinese team continues to move forward, the resistance of the conservatives will eventually come to nothing.
Therefore, after defeating the Korean team, the Chinese team accidentally made more long-distance calls. Most of the teammates used this time to contact their agents behind the scenes to study the value of Wang Ai's conversation and what to do. With Wang Ai himself
Unexpectedly, no one in the national team despised his words, and no one regarded his words as bragging. Although it was a bit of bragging, Wang Ai's achievements were there. If a person earns 800 million in advertising fees a year, they can
How much does he earn? The better ones like Bai Guanghai can earn 20 to 30 million, and the worse ones like Mao Jianqing can earn less than 500,000. Wang Ai alone can earn more than a thousand times that of Xiao Mao. Does he dare to think that Wang Ai is bragging?
The gap has widened to such an extent that even if Wang Ai is talking nonsense, there are still people who worship him. Even if what Wang Ai says is proven to be unworkable in practice, there will be people who take the initiative to explain to him: He is right, you are the one who cannot do it.
!
What's more, what Wang Ai said is a common rule in Europe where commercial football is prosperous? It's just that our domestic commercial football atmosphere is not enough, and our agents are not professional enough so they don't realize it. But after what Wang Ai said, they combined their own
Professionalism, vision, and the current situation of European and American football, don't you have a sudden enlightenment immediately?
The teammates are busy, and Wang Ai is not idle either. Since he will be called by the leader for a talk after returning home, Wang Ai also has to make some preparations. No matter how familiar he is with Yan Shiduo, no matter how informal he is in private, he is still a leader! The leader is looking for
The conversation, no matter how relaxed it is, represents the organization, so Wang Ai cannot be taken seriously. It’s just that Wang Ai doesn’t know much about the Chinese Super League, so during this period he not only has to analyze the situations he has experienced in La Liga and the Premier League, but also has to go back and talk to Huang Ai.
Xin contacted, talked to Zhao Junzhe and Li Tie, and tried to get Yan Shiduo to have something to say.
While all parties were busy, the last game of the group stage came. The opponent was the underdog Uzbekistan. The game was held in Shah Alam. Due to suspension, injuries and other reasons, Ali Haan sent out
Goalkeeper Li Leilei, central defenders Luo Tongliang, Zhang Yaokun, double defenders Zhang Yonghai and Sun Xiang, the midfielder is equipped with three interception midfielders of Zhao Xuri, Li Tie, Zhou Haibin and one Wang Ai, giving up the left and right midfielder tactics, the double forward is Dong Fangzhuo plus
Mao Jianqing.
In short, this is a large-scale rotation with a military training nature.
The game situation was still relatively easy. Wang Ai still broke the Uzbekistan goal continuously within half an hour. However, Dong Fangzhuo and Mao Jianqing did not cooperate well. The two young men were already a bit arrogant. As three-pointers among the new generation of forwards,
Second, they were trying to keep each other off. So at halftime, neither player scored a goal, and of course Uzbek didn't score either.
Wang Ai was replaced as usual and replaced by the fourth young forward Cao Yang to warm up and train.
However, after twenty minutes of playing in the second half, the situation on the field suddenly changed.
Uzbekistan used two set kicks in a row to equalize the score within five minutes!
