In the noisy Newcastle Stadium, Chen Qianjun certainly could not hear his daughter's shouting.

But Ran Wende had already told him the stand where the player's family is located, so after entering the stadium, he soon found the stand where his family is located.

My daughter's mouth was waving the national flag while shaking it. It would be strange if she wasn't shouting "Dad".

Chen Qianjun waved to the stands, which attracted her daughter's even more excited shouts.

After warming up, he returned to the locker room. Chen Qianjun gave another brief lecture and then prepared to play the game.

During the appearance ceremony, more than 20,000 Chinese fans sang the national anthem, which was shocking, turning the stadium into the home court of the Chinese team.

Chen Dagui, Yuan Shutao and Gu Yuwei were also excited to sing the national anthem with everyone. For the first time, they experienced the excitement of 20,000 people singing the national anthem in unison in the stadium.

This is a feeling that the three of them have never experienced before.

In the past, I didn’t feel much when I watched TV at home and heard the national anthem.

But in this foreign country, looking at the national flag on the court and 11 starting players singing the national anthem in unison, listening to the sound of more than 20,000 Chinese fans singing the national anthem in the audience. The feeling of passion and blood cannot be controlled by themselves, and I feel a sense of pride that I wish I could sing the national anthem with the greatest voice.

After singing the national anthem and picking the sides, the competition is about to begin.

At 20:00 pm on January 27, 2015, local time in Australia, amid the cheers of more than 20,000 fans in the audience, with the whistle of the referee, the semi-finals of the 16th Asian Cup China vs. the UAE officially began at Newcastle Stadium, Australia.

Because of the fact that the last quarter-final was frozen by Australia, Chen Qianjun thought about this game for a long time, but he could only sacrifice his fellow villager Fan Yunlong to let Yu Hi start as a right forward.

As for why Jiang Zhipeng was not allowed to start, it was because he couldn't beat the right forward, only Yu Hi can.

As for the left forward, Chen Qianjun, he wanted to keep Hao Junmin on the court so that Hao Junmin would take the penalty when he got a free kick.

In the last game, Jiang Zhipeng and Yu Hi made a breakthrough, which actually caused a large number of opponents to foul, but because Hao Junmin was not on the court, the Chinese team's free kick did not pose any threat.

In this game, Chen Qianjun asked Hao Junmin to stay on the court, so that when the hot dribbling breakthrough caused the opponent to foul, a free kick master could give the opponent a direct blow.

At the same time, this can also curb the opponent's idea of ​​using fouls to stop the Chinese team from attacking and reduce the probability of players being injured.

Although the UAE also reached the semi-finals, their promotion process was much more difficult than the Chinese team. It was not until the penalty shootout that they decided to win and lose, and they had a day less rest than the Chinese team.

Coupled with the strong momentum shown by the Chinese team in previous games, the UAE naturally did not dare to attack the Chinese team in this game, but instead set up a defensive counterattack formation of 4231, trying to continue to use defense to drag the game into a penalty shootout, and use luck to fight for the victory.

But the Chinese team did not give them a chance.

Although Wu Sanshi, who has scored 9 goals, has become the focus of the UAE's key defense, the strength of the rest of the Chinese team is not bad, and it is not entirely due to Wu Sanshi's goal.

With Wu Sanshi's speed, if he wants to freeze him, he naturally needs multiple players to defend together. In this way, other Chinese players will have a more relaxed environment and opportunities.

The game was just three minutes into the beginning, and the UAE may still be considering how to nail Wu Sanshi to death. Yu Hi passed by two people on the right side and made a cross from the bottom.

Center forward Yang Xu rushed into the penalty area and jumped high at the penalty point, beating UAE centre-back Mohanad Salem to grab the first point, and broke through the UAE goal with a powerful header.

Even though the momentum of the previous games was in the past few games, everyone knew that the Chinese team had a high probability of winning in this game, but no one expected to score in three minutes.

All Chinese people are so happy.

The tv-5 commentator shouted excitedly:

"The ball is in!!!"

"Oh my God, the ball has entered!"

"We scored in just 3 minutes of the game!"

"A header from Yang Xu!"

"Yu Hi passed two consecutively on the side and made a cross from the bottom. Yang Xu followed up in the penalty area and headed the ball to the top."

"The distance is close and the speed is fast, goalkeeper Majid Nasser has no response, and the ball flew into the net."

"The national football team has achieved a fantastic start!"

In the player's family area, Shen Dagui and others who have watched several live games naturally know what this ball means, and are also very excited to cheer and celebrate with the Chinese fans around them.

Although Xiaojuan didn't know what was going on, seeing her mother and grandparents applauding and cheering, she would applaud happily.

The UAE was stunned by the plot of losing the ball in three minutes of the game. In the following game, he was like sleepwalking and subconsciously moved the focus of his defense to Yu Hi and Yang Xu.

As a result, in the 14th minute, Wu Xi, the front midfielder, sent the ball into the left corner of the small penalty area. Wu Sanshi inserted from outside the penalty area like a sharp arrow, and shot before the UAE defender cleared the ball, kicking the ball into the far corner of the goal.

The goalkeeper Nasser, who rushed to the near corner of the goal, saved the ball and could only turn his head and look at the ball that was drilled into the far corner of the goal, looking desperate.

In the 14th minute, Wu Sanshi's goal expanded the score for the Chinese team, and the score became 2-0.

The fans in the scene and in front of the TV burst into louder cheers.

Such a smooth semi-final was something that no one expected before the game.

Even though they knew that the UAE had a day off than the Chinese team and had been playing a penalty shootout in the quarter-finals, they didn't expect that they would be so vulnerable.

In fact, the UAE is not vulnerable, it is just that the overall strength of the Chinese team is too strong.

Whether it is physical fitness, team cooperation, or the players' personal skills, the Chinese team can crush Asian teams.

Australia was able to score one goal in the last quarter-finals of the Chinese team and only lost one 1-3. It was already a very extraordinary performance!

The Chinese team took a 2-0 lead in 14 minutes in this semi-final, which is the real comparison of the strength of the two teams.

After being fed two goals by the Chinese team, the UAE seemed to wake up from a dream and began to shrink its formation and disassemble the iron barrel formation to block the attack of the Chinese team with great momentum.

Despite this, they failed to keep the score until the end of the first half.

In the 40th minute, the Chinese team used another wonderful team cooperation. Finally, Wu Sanshi attracted the attention of the opponent's three defenders and knocked the ball across to Hao Junmin.

Hao Junmin rushed into the penalty area and shot about 12 meters away from the goal, kicking the ball into the UAE goal.

The Chinese team took a 3-0 lead, and before the first half ended, they almost secured the victory.
Chapter completed!
