Also on July 25, Beijing time, in the other semi-final competition of the 2007 Asian Cup, history changed, the score was still 3:2, but the result was completely opposite, with the defending champion defeating Saudi Arabia 3:2.

The game was full of excitement, and the Japanese team, with better technical and tactical experience, advanced to the finals.

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

And the opponent in this final, just like the previous one, is still China.

"Bear China and win three consecutive championships!" Japan's self-confidence is quite strong. The Asahi Shimbun sent the strongest battle signal at the moment of the game.

"Three years ago they were losers, but three years later they will still be losers! One Dong Fangzhuo could not stop us from winning the Asian Cup three consecutive championships."

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

"The strength of the Japanese team is not the strength of a certain player, but the strength of each player is strong and stronger overall. Japan has continuous skills and tactics. No matter who appears in the coach position, they will not change easily. I believe that Japan can defeat the Chinese team and achieve three consecutive championships." The famous Japanese player Hideho Nakada looked forward to this final, believing that Japan has a greater chance and gave his own opinions.

"China is very strong. In fact, their level has dropped a lot since 2004, especially after that group of players retired. However, after a group of players emerged in the World Youth Championship in 2005, they suddenly became stronger and returned. In the next ten years, they will be our biggest rivals."

Nakada Hideho was talking about the group of people of Hao Haidong. At that time, Chinese football strength actually weakened since 2002...

"In fact, Japanese football still has many advantages. We have a mature system. They have just started. Our talent reserves are much richer than them, and youth construction is much better than them. These are our advantages."

Nakada Hideho was actually very thoughtful. He was also the number one player in Asian football back then. After him, Japanese football talents began to explode. All he said was right...

This final also reminded Chinese fans of three years ago.

In the final three years ago, China lost quite a bit.

Three years ago!

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

In addition to the Chinese team's own problems, the final of that Asian Cup was more affected by the referee's "bad" misjudgment! At that time, there was no problem with the first goal scored by the Japanese team. But soon, the strong Chinese team was dribbled by Yan Song from the outside of the penalty area and passed it to Li Ming. Li Ming then grabbed the position and fell to the ground and shot to tie the score.

The turning point was the third goal in the game - after the Japanese team passed the ball, the player who grabbed the ball in front of the goal scored the ball, and then the Chinese team immediately protested strongly and kept telling the referee that the ball was scored by the opponent's hand. In addition, the live TV broadcast and the live screen kept repeating the goal repeatedly, which clearly showed that the ball was obviously scored by the Japanese player's arm. The motivation of this player was also very obvious, but the referee never changed the judgment!

This misjudgment will have a serious impact on any team! Although the Chinese team had several chances afterwards, they were finally 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 scolded him when we were sleeping. If the referee did not misjudgment at that time, the Asian Cup champions were probably the Chinese team. In this game, outsiders could also see that the Chinese team's offense was obviously more threatening than the Japanese team's offense, and it always put the Japanese team in a high degree of tension! That Chinese team was led by Dutch coach Ali Han, and the style of attacking and defense also made the Chinese team's strength at the first-class level in Asia at that time!

The 2004 Asian Cup final was a very regrettable, but all this has become a certain fact.

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

This time, can the Chinese team take revenge?

"I hope they can play to their level and win the first championship of the Chinese team in the Asian Cup." Hao Haidong was interviewed by a domestic reporter, his eyes were full of eager desire. His wish that he had not achieved in his generation hopes. He hoped that this time he could succeed. Then he also talked about Dong Fangzhuo.

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

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

"In fact, we have never been afraid of the Japanese team. It is the Japanese team who are afraid of us. Although this Japanese team is very strong, their height is their disadvantage. Although we are a little worse in overall strength, I do not agree with Hideho Nakada. Dong Fangzhuo is the key to this game. Whether it is to get rid of the ball or compete for a high ball, Dong Fangzhuo has a natural advantage, so I dare to put my words 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 ‘at most three years’? Of course, it was about Ronaldo. He once said that a player like Ronaldo would not be popular for more than three years, but he was slapped in the face. Fortunately, he replaced him this time.

Now, Hao Haidong is talking about him Dong Fangzhuo.

Ten years of popularity meant 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 start. Before the game, Spinach Company opened the handicap and tied the handicap.

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

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

"Damn it, if you lose your Chinese team in the past, you will get rich if you lose your Chinese team. Today you have to buy the Chinese team to win!"

"Then you put down the house at home."

“…”

“My house is rented…”

Spinach Company also gave another odds, Dong Fangzhuo's odds of scoring goals in the game. The odds of scoring one goal are 1:1.3, and the odds of scoring two goals are 1 and 3.

"The odds are too evil. The odds for scoring one goal are so low, and the two goals are higher. What does this mean?"

"There are at least goals in the game..."
