    Asia, East Asia and West Asia are the two strongest football camps. There are many in Southeast Asia, but their football results are really not very good. There are many scandals, such as the shocking Malaysian football gambling case and the two goals in a certain Tiger Cup.  The team did whatever it took to "seek defeat". Before the end of the game, there was even a scene called "the ugliest in football history" in which a defender grabbed the opponent's ball and then kicked it into his own goal. Apart from the Thai team, it was also considered the Asian team.  Except for the third-rate teams, the other teams are very poor, and the Indonesian team is no exception.

    The Chinese team, with the right time, place and people, started a massacre at the Workers' Stadium. In this game, Milu sent four other over-age players on the field. The "Hao Gao Combination" once again won the national championship after two years.  Appearing in the team, they both scored twice, while midfielders Ma Tian and Nie Fei also scored a goal each. General Fan, who was not willing to be lonely, also scored a goal in front of the goal through a corner kick. The Chinese team swept their opponents 7-0.

    The Chinese team, with two wins in two games and a sufficient goal difference, has already qualified from the group ahead of schedule. They only need to draw with Kuwait in the last game to get first place in the group - Kuwait beat Indonesia 1-0 in the first game.  , the second game was a one-to-one tie with Iraq. The defense was relatively solid, but the attack power was weak. I believe it will be difficult for them to break the Chinese team's door.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT Out of the group ahead of schedule by scoring ten goals and conceding one goal. Although there is a weak opponent like Indonesia, this result is also excellent. However, in the group stage, the Chinese team is not the most popular team.

    In terms of the strong limelight, it has to do with the Chinese team's neighbor, the Japanese team. They also have a luxurious lineup with National Olympic players as the main body for the Asian Cup, including Hidetoshi Nakata, Shunsuke Nakamura, Shinji Ono, and Inamoto.  The midfielder composed of Junichi and Minami Hiroshi is even more famous than the Chinese team's midfielder, and Naotai Takahara on the forward line plays for the Argentine giants Boca Juniors. Although the number of overseas players is not as exaggerated as that of the Chinese team, it seems  The gold content is slightly higher.

    Hidetoshi Nakata, who was robbed of his position in Perugia by Nie Fei, is not doing well now. He plays for the Bologna team in Serie A and has performed very well in the past two seasons. Together with Nie Fei, he provoked the Asians  At the top of Serie A, he is now the absolute main force and core midfielder of the Japanese national team.

    Before the start of the Asian Cup, everyone recognized that there were nine overseas players, and the Chinese team, as the host, was the favorite to win the Asian Cup. The relatively low-key Japanese team performed even more amazingly - they were in  Group C of the Chinese team is more difficult than Group A of the Chinese team. Except for the Japanese team, the other three teams are the last Asian Cup champion Saudi Arabia, the 1994 Hiroshima Asian Games champion Uzbekistan and the West Asian powerhouse Qatar. However, in the first game  The Central Japan team surprised everyone. They beat the defending champion with a big score of four to one and an absolute advantage on the field. Then in the second round, they created the first Asian Cup record of this year.  The game with the most goals - an 8-1 sweep of Uzbekistan. Two forwards, Akihon Nishizawa and Naotai Takahara, both scored hat tricks, showing a frightening offensive power.

    "The Japanese team is coming with a lot of force." After watching the Chinese team sweep the Indonesian game, Pei Wei and Su Mei returned to the hotel. After getting the news on TV, Su Mei said to Pei Wei with a smile.

    "Yeah." Pei Wei nodded in agreement: "They will be the Chinese team's biggest opponents in this cup."

    "Are you so sure?" Su Mei asked in surprise: "Saudi Arabia, Iran, South Korea none of them are easy to deal with. Although the Japanese team has gorgeous skills, the Chinese team really didn't suffer any losses against them.  ¡­I think South Korea and Iran are a bit difficult to deal with.¡±

    "I won't talk about Saudi Arabia. They have been together since they failed to enter the World Cup in 1998." Pei Wei said with a smile: "Iran's golden generation of players like Daiyi and Bagheri are also getting older As for  The South Korean team, until they find a good coach, will not be the opponent of the current Chinese team, and they may not be able to meet the Chinese team, but the Japanese team, if the Chinese team can enter the final without meeting Japan on the way  If we have a team, then the opponent in the final will definitely be Japan.¡±

    "He's pretending to be a fool again." Su Mei is no longer willing to bet with Pei Wei, because Pei Wei is always very accurate - betting with him is just asking for trouble.

    Pei Wei smiled and did not make any refutation of Su Mei's words. He said to himself: "Compared with the European Cup and the America's Cup, the Asian Cup is still far behind I'm not talking about anything else.  , but in discovering talents-every European Cup and America's Cup will emerge a group of newcomers who are eye-catching, and there are only a few good players in Asia, and they are basically already in the strong teams.  The core of the main force, I want to find out from the inside?It's really difficult to find outstanding players.  "

    "No way? Do you still want to find foreign players in Asian teams?" Su Mei asked in surprise.

    "no

    Other clubs.  Pei Wei smiled: "Actually, this is also a good idea for a team in I-state to introduce the top stars from Vietnam and Thailand. Then maybe the group behind them can sell their products to Southeast Asia This is a new news."  Financial resources, but the level of football in Southeast Asia is still a bit poor, and even their top players may not be able to play the main role in League B:.  "

    "That has nothing to do with us." Su Mei shrugged: "You don't have any products to sell."

    "But it has something to do with our league. If we can advertise abroad through the team, I think those big groups will definitely be more willing to invest in football, right?" Pei Wei said with a smirk: "Just like our cloud  Jia Tianyu played in the Asian Club Cup finals in Tehran the year before last, and the Tianhua Group's revenue from Iran immediately increased by 20% Doesn't this mean anything? I will tell me about these experiences?  of those old friends.¡±

    The "old friends" he referred to were naturally the bosses of other clubs. Su Mei understood clearly: "This is a good idea, but it's a pity that it is difficult for us to introduce high-level foreign players to places like Japan and South Korea. Their leagues are no better than ours."  Bad, there are more outstanding players who are willing to send them to Europe, but it is possible in West Asia. After the introduction of Madavikia, the Eastern Group has now moved its business to Iran.¡±

    "That's the truth." Pei Wei snapped his fingers.

    "What shall we do next?" Su Mei asked.

    "What's next?" Pei Wei thought for a moment: "Have a good rest, keep your spirits up, and go watch the last game of the group."

    ***************************************************  ****

    July 18th, the final round of the Asian Cup Group A group stage.

    The Chinese team will face Kuwait at the Workers' Stadium, while Iraq will face Indonesia in Tianjin. Both the Chinese team and Kuwait have already qualified in advance. The final battle is just to compete for the first place in the group, while Iraq must defeat Indonesia to qualify for the group.

    This game is just a formality for the Chinese team. If they tie, they can spend the rest of the game in Beijing. Kuwait seems to have no intention of competing for the top spot in the group. The quarter-finals will start in five days.  , and although yellow cards received in the group stage will not be carried into the knockout stage, accumulation of two yellow cards will still result in suspension. No one is willing to cause any losses to personnel for this not-so-important game.

    Milu sent most of the substitutes. Li Jinyu and Zhang Yulin partnered in the striker. The midfielders were Tao Wei, Zheng Zhi, Li Gang and Zhang Xiaorui. The defenders were Li Wei, Zhu Guosheng, Wu Jiang and Sun Chenghai. Even the goalkeeper also sent two players.  No. 1 goalkeeper Cheng Dong.

    The game went on uneventfully, with the only bright spot appearing in the 38th minute. Zhang Xiaorui assisted from the wing, and Zhang Yulin headed the ball in front of the goal and scored the only goal of the game. Kuwait lost the game.  The group ranking slipped to third place - in another game, Iraq defeated Indonesia 3-0, relying on a slight goal difference to obtain the second position in the group.

    There are two teams in Group B. South Korea defeated Iran 2-1 in the final game and ranked first in the group. However, the Iranian team, which was tied 1-1 by Thailand and lost to South Korea, had to be ranked first in the group.  Second, they faced the Japanese team, which ranked first in Group C.

    In Group C, the Japanese team with two consecutive victories also stopped. After the players, they tied Qatar 1-1 in the final round, but for this they had to face Iran, which was second in Group B, ~.Uzbekistan  ¡ª¡ªAs the leader of Central Asian football, the Uzbekistan team won the Asian Games championship just after entering the Asian competition. Now it has almost destroyed all the old foundation left to them by the former Soviet Union and has become an out-and-out third-rate team.  After the team was massacred by Japan and Saudi Arabia, they only tied with Qatar one to one and were eliminated. Qatar grabbed the last qualifying spot after three consecutive draws. Of course, this was also because of Thailand and Lebanon in Group B.  A draw in the final round would leave both teams with only two points, otherwise no matter who wins, Qatar will be squeezed out.

    From the 12th to the 20th, in the eight days, the twelve participating teams were reduced by one-third, leaving only eight teams. They are China, Iraq and Kuwait in Group A, South Korea and Group B.  Iran, Japan, Saudi Arabia and Qatar in Group C

    According to the match rules, the quarter-final matchup is like this. China, the first in Group A, will face Qatar, which is third in Group C, and Iraq, which is second in Group A, will face Saudi Arabia, which is second in Group C~

    The first quarter-final is the match between China and Qatar on July 23.
