Chapter 389 Reasons to Win

In addition to the three major associations, domestic media and newspapers are also in a sea of ​​celebration. Fans across the country are excited and the media are even more praised.

In the game against Iran, the Chinese team scored a total of 21 shots, completely crushing the Iranian team's 5 shots. In terms of the shots, the Chinese team also had as many as 10 times, which was 5 times that of Iran. In terms of goals, it was exactly 5:1!

The reason why such a huge data comparison is not that the Chinese team's strength has crushed the Iranian team, but because the Chinese team played one more player almost the entire second half!

In fact, when the number of players on both sides was equal in the first half, the two teams were almost in a state of equal strength. The Iranian team used the double-team tactic to curb Yin Jun's performance well. The comparison of the shots between the two sides in the first half was only 3:2, and the shot was 1:1, and the score was also 1:1!

However, with Zare being sent off, the balance of victory was completely inclined to the Chinese side.

It is precisely because of this that the Iranian team has always been resentful of the final result, believing that the referee determines the outcome of the game, rather than relying on the absolute strength of the Chinese team.

Iranian star Mada Wikia fired a fire at the referee in an interview after the game. He said: "The referee is so bad. We had a chance, but the referee is not fair at all. They favor China. Our loss of qualification to advance to the final is largely related to his poor performance."

Another player of the Iranian team, Gormuhamadi, also said: "The Chinese audience is very enthusiastic, and the capital and even all Chinese people are very friendly. I like it here. But the opposite is that the referees on the court are very bad. Everyone knows that they really want China to win, so they made a lot of unfair judgments. If the law allows it, I want to kill them, and it is them who ruined the Iranian team's dream of advancing to the finals."

However, after defeating Iran 5-1 to advance to the Asian Cup final, everyone in the national team has improved their confidence, everyone has strong desire and full of high fighting spirit.

It's time to enter the finals, and it's at your own doorstep. Who doesn't want to leave the Asian Cup in Beijing or in China?

The opponent in the final is Japan. Japan's performance in this Asian Cup is not convincing. It can be said that they can enter the Asian Cup final along the way, and the only strong team they really encounter is the last game of the group stage to play against Iran.

But in fact, neither side did their best in that game. Japan had already qualified early at that time, and Iran could qualify as long as it tied.

The most controversial one is the knockout round in the quarterfinals, where Japan encountered Jordan. The two sides scored 1:1 in the 120-1, entering the final penalty.

The first Japanese player to take the penalty was the star Shinsuke Nakamura, who turned out to be an anti-aircraft gun. Then the second person to take the penalty was the Sanduzhu, who was still an anti-aircraft gun. In contrast, Jordan made two free throws and the possibility of winning a penalty shootout is very high.

At this critical moment, the Japanese captain actually asked to change the venue. Such an operation was really jaw-dropping.

What is unbelievable is that the referee actually agreed. What's even more funny is that the three masters actually wanted to take the penalty again, but they gave up after being protested by Jordanian players.

After changing the venue, Japan made consecutive penalty kicks, and Jordan was affected. Only one of the three free throws was made in the next three. Both sides scored 3:3 in the first five rounds. Then Japan made the sixth free throw, and Jordan hit the crossbar for the second time and was eliminated.

Although Japanese coach Jiko denied the pressure from the coaching staff after the game, Japan's behavior still caused a lot of noise. After the game, Jordan publicly accused the referee of the injustice and Japan's behavior, believing that changing the venue was unprecedented.

But unfortunately, Japan finally entered the semi-finals and eliminated Bahrain in the semi-finals with thrilling elimination.

Facing such a Japanese team, how could there be no idea when the Chinese team, which just eliminated Iran in the semi-finals?

Yin Jun could feel the determination of everyone in the team.

……………………

As a highly anticipated men's football event, it is difficult for the Chinese team to come up with a sufficient amount of championship in history. The only championship honor before was to win the East Asian Cup at the end of last year.

However, in sharp contrast, the Chinese women's football team has won numerous honors, including seven consecutive championships in the Asian Cup!

Many people will take out the women's football team when they mention the men's football team, which always makes the men's football team feel like they can't raise their heads.

With the Chinese men's football team's first appearance in the World Cup finals two years ago, and Yin Jun's rise in the following two years, and even becoming the youngest European Golden Globe winner in history, this has given Chinese fans greater hope for the Chinese men's football team.

This Asian Cup has attracted the attention of the Chinese people.

Yes, it’s not just Chinese fans who are paying attention to this event, but almost most Chinese people are paying attention to the Asian Cup!

This is the charm of football as the number one sport!

……………………

When Yin Jun and his teammates took a bus and left Gongshi Stadium and returned to the hotel, they found that countless fans were still gathering outside the stadium. When they saw the international players boarding the bus, everyone was shouting loudly.

They are calling on the international team to continue their efforts and win the Asian Cup.

Their shouts were filled with desire and expectation.

Many fans even chased behind the bus, shouting and chasing until they couldn't run.

The hotel is not far from the stadium, and fans wearing Chinese jerseys can be seen everywhere along the way. When they saw the team's bus, they were shouting loudly. Even when the traffic lights at the intersection, many drivers poked their heads out of the window and shouted loudly: "Come on the Chinese team! The Chinese team will win!"

The international players were deeply moved in the bus.

This group of people may have criticized the Chinese national football team a lot on weekdays, but that is a pity that they are not strong enough. At the critical moment, they support the Chinese team more than anyone else, because this is a team that represents more than one billion Chinese people.

There were also many fans gathered at the entrance of the hotel, all shouting loudly to cheer for the national football players.

A short journey from the stadium to the hotel allows Chinese football players to deeply feel the enthusiasm of domestic fans.

Even after returning to the room, everyone was still deeply immersed in that atmosphere and was difficult to get away from.

Under such circumstances, the Chinese team really needs a championship.

At this time, the Chinese team either stubbornly withstood the pressure and continued to move forward, or they shrank and were unable to recover.

Yin Jun knew very well that no matter from which angle, the Chinese team must compete for this championship.

No matter what, you can't lose to Japan in the finals and give up the championship!
