    Two hours after the match between China and Qatar ended, the second four-point game began at the Fengyun Stadium in Yunjia. The two sides faced the West Asian civil war between Iraq and Saudi Arabia.

    This game seems to have nothing to do with the Chinese team. Their opponent in the semi-finals was the winner of South Korea and Kuwait. However, the Chinese team still sent staff to observe the game. Facing the previous champion Saudi team, the Iraqis  There was no fear, but a fierce confrontation with the opponent.

    The first half ended zero to zero. Just one minute into the second half, the Saudi team's Temiat scored a lightning goal in front of the goal to give the Saudi team the lead. However, such a goal did not defeat the Iraqis.  Instead, they used more violent attacks to suppress the Saudis.

    In the 68th minute, Iraq's Jahim equalized the score with a penalty kick. Three minutes later, hundreds of Iraqi fans at the scene cheered wildly. Their Majid caught the opponent's defender's mistake in front of the goal and stabbed it.  Breaking through the ten-finger barrier of Asia's No. 1 goalkeeper Dai Yayaya!

    The current time is the 71st minute of the game. As long as they survive the last 20 minutes, they can enter the semi-finals without being favored by others!

    They almost did it - if their defender hadn't tripped the opponent's Meshaal in the penalty area before the end - with a red card and a penalty kick, the Iraqi team fell from heaven to hell in an instant.

    Meshaal calmly scored the penalty kick and the game entered overtime.

    The tenacious Iraqis persisted until the end of overtime - but they still could not escape the fate of being killed in one blow - in the 118th minute, Temiat scored twice.  A wonderful sideways volley and overhead kick scored the first golden goal of this Asian Cup, and also allowed the defending champion to enter the semi-finals with difficulty.

    The Chinese fans at the scene gave applause to the Iraqis without hesitation. Although they lost, their fighting spirit did not lose to their opponents. What they lacked was maybe just a little luck.

    The other two semi-finals will be held on the next day. The winner between South Korea and Kuwait will be the opponent of the Chinese team in the semi-finals, while the winner between Japan and Iran will be the opponent of the Saudi team in the semi-finals -  ¨DThere are really no upsets in this Asian Cup so far. If nothing else happens, the Korean team should be able to enter the semi-finals. There is nothing that can be done about Japan and Iran meeting too early. Basically, the strong teams have entered.  The top eight and the final four are all traditional strong teams. To be upset, it is probably only Japan's 4-1 victory over Saudi Arabia in the group stage that is a bit surprising.

    There is no upset, but it does not mean that there is nothing to watch. The confrontation between Japan and Iran, the confrontation between technical football and power football is itself a good point to watch, and another game between the Korean team Kuwait also falls into this range, only  However, the team representing strength has become the South Korean team in East Asia, and the team with relatively outstanding skills has become the Kuwait team in West Asia. In the two quarter-finals that have ended early, China, representing East Asia, has successfully fought against West Asia in advance.  The next two games will depend on whether Japan and South Korea will repeat the mistakes of the last Asian Cup.

    In the last Asian Cup in the United Arab Emirates, the West Asian team, which had the advantage of home court, won a resounding victory and swept the final four. Although the three East Asian top three, China, Japan and South Korea, all entered the quarterfinals, they all failed in the quarter-finals.  The Chinese team was eliminated in 2016. The Chinese team was defeated by Saudi Arabia 4-3 with a two-goal lead. This was the most honorable loss among the top three in East Asia. Japan lost no temper to Kuwait 2-0, and South Korea even more  Tragically, they were beaten to a pulp by the Iranian team, which was in full swing. The bloody 6-2 loss is a painful memory that all Koreans will never forget.

    With the two major camps of East and West Asia, the competition between the two sides is everywhere, including on the field.

    This time, the opponents of Japan and South Korea are still Iran and Kuwait, but they have changed. Japan faced Iran, South Korea¡¯s top eight opponent in the last year, and South Korea faced Kuwait, Japan¡¯s top eight opponent in the last year. It seems that they are also expected to win.  There will be a different result.

    On the 24th, the first match was between South Korea and Kuwait.

    The game was held at the Chengdu Stadium in Sichuan. The Chinese fans present were overwhelmingly supporting the Kuwait team - obviously, the winner of this game will be the Chinese team's opponent in the semi-finals, and the Chinese team won against Kuwait in the group stage.  We have played against each other before, and they still defeated their opponents after sending most of the substitutes. If the opponent was Kuwait, the Chinese team would have an easier time entering the finals.

    The players of the Chinese team also gathered in front of the TV to watch the game, and the coaching staff also watched the game in their rooms, but their focus was different.

    Players are observing the habits and technical characteristics of opponents who may play against them in the game, while coaches discuss??More.

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

    I really hope Kuwait can win.  Tang Pengju watched the live broadcast and said: "Then it will be much easier for us to reach the finals - Kuwait is no longer the Asian hegemon in the 1980s. Now they can only be regarded as the youngest among the first-class teams."  , especially after the Gulf War, wars often destroy not only a country's economy, but also their various facilities.  "

    "I would rather play against South Korea." Chu Guanghu said confidently: "Now is when we are the strongest, and we have the advantage of home court. The Olympic team defeated South Korea last time, and now the national team must also defeat South Korea!  We must completely reverse the fans¡¯ impression of ¡®Korean phobia¡¯ and establish our status as Asia¡¯s top team!¡±

    Milu watched his two assistants express opposing opinions and smiled in his heart. This can be regarded as the impact of two completely different concepts. Tang Pengju is a representative of domestic coaches, but he has personally experienced decades of being invincible against Korea.  Those days, and the Chinese youth team he led all the way to the finals of the Asian Youth Championship, and also swept the UAE youth team 5-1 in the semi-finals, but lost to the Korean youth team in the final.  The temperless zero to three naturally has a little fear of South Korea, and out of consideration for the goal of winning the championship, the weaker the opponent, the better, and Chu Guanghu is a different kind of coach-he is  After staying in Brazil for five years, he returned to China as his assistant and watched the Chinese Olympic team defeat the Korean Olympic team in a face-to-face match to enter the Olympic finals. Naturally, there was nothing to fear psychologically, but it seemed that South Korea was  The team thought too simply.

    Seeing that both of them turned their attention to him and wanted to hear his own opinion, Milu smiled slightly and spoke in Spanish.

    Chu Guanghu has been in Brazil for five years and naturally understands Spanish, which is very similar to Portuguese, so the translator Lin Cheng around him mainly translates to Tang Pengju: "From the perspective of the championship, I hope that Kuwait will be our  The opponent in the semi-finals - but from a practical point of view, we need to think more about how to deal with South Korea - after all, South Korea is still stronger in terms of strength, but it cannot be said that it is to reverse the fear of fans.  Korean syndrome's impression, the more you say something, the greater its authenticity. Also, whether it is a top team in Asia is not something you say, it is something you play game by game.  What we have to do is to carefully watch the playing styles of these two possible opponents. Whether it is Kuwait or South Korea, they will likely be our opponents in the semifinals. Tang, you mainly look at Kuwait, and Chu, you look at South Korea.¡±

    The two nodded and began to watch the teams they wanted to pay attention to. Milu sat at the end with his arms folded, watching the game attentively without saying a word.

    Kuwait's defense did a good job. At least in the entire first half, they did not allow the Korean team to get any good opportunities. To say that their relatively soft playing style was very restrained by South Korea's tactics, allowing the Korean team to rush and attack.  The South Korean team, which is known for its full-court press, felt that it was unable to use its strength.

    The first half ended with a score of zero to zero. Tang Pengju laughed and said, "It's interesting. It seems that Kuwait really has something to show for it today."

    "The Korean team is not as strong as it was in 1998." Chu Guanghu nodded and said: "Their soul is still there, but their momentum is obviously much worse than before. Could it be that the defeat against the Netherlands and the Olympic team's loss to us  Did it hurt their vitality?"

    In the 76th minute of the second half, Kuwait scored!  Their number one star Howardi made a clever shot in front of the goal and broke through the fingers of South Korea goalkeeper Lee Yun-jae!

    The adult fans cheered loudly. They didn¡¯t care about the dispute between East and West Asia. They only knew that China was more confident about beating Kuwait and less sure about beating South Korea - so they hoped that Kuwait would win. It was as simple as that.

    At this moment, Houwadi became the hero of the Kuwait team and the temporary hero in the hearts of Chinese fans at the Chengdu Stadium - but unfortunately, the final hero of this game was the South Korean forward who played for Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga.  "The Lion King" Lee Dong-guk.

    In the 90th minute of the game, the Korean team took a corner kick, and even the goalkeeper rushed forward. Howardi, the hero of the ten minutes this time, returned to the penalty area, but it was his defensive error that gave the Koreans a chance. Lee Dongguo's shot  It was saved by the goalkeeper, Houwadi made a short clearance, and Kim Sang-sik shot a volley into the net!  One to one, the Korean team came back from the death line!

    It¡¯s overtime again, another golden goal!

    In the sixth minute of overtime, Hong Mingfu intercepted the ball and counterattacked, passing the ball to Lu Tingyun who was inserted into the right rib. Lu Tingyun passed the ball. Li Dongguo appeared in the center of the penalty area. When the man reached the ball, he pushed the ball into the net with one kick!  Two to one, South Korea won the golden goal!

    "Okay, you two, let's start preparing for the game against South Korea." Milu stood up and said toThe two assistants who were still in a daze said: "Our opponent is out, the Korean team."
