Chapter 358 The skyrocketing fans

The match with the South Korean team just ended, and the domestic Internet platform was in a panic again. Everyone was discussing the performance of the national football team, including Dongfang Zhuo's double score and that continuous pass cooperation.

Since last year's World Cup miraculously reached the semi-finals, football's domestic market has expanded dramatically, and more and more people are in love with this sport. However, China's population base is too large, so new fans are still growing rapidly and are far from reaching their peak.

"A newbie asked, has the Chinese team been so strong all the time? Why can we play against South Korea? We have only entered two World Cups, and just like South Korea, we only got fourth place?"

Many old fans can't help but feel proud when they see this problem. Some people responded: "Since Wang Feng joined the national football team, the Chinese team's strength has become stronger and stronger, and it has only won the Asian market in recent years."

"As for South Korea's fourth place in the World Cup, please, how can it be compared with us? We rely on our own strength, and they rely on referees. You can search for related news, and there has been a lot of them!"

"Yeah, Wang Feng, I know that the third-time World Footballer, is too fierce, and is at the same level as the alien Ronaldo, but I think the top scorer in the Asian Cup is a man named Dongfang Zhuo. He is so strong too? Which wealthy family do you play football?"

"At first glance, you have just been in contact with football. Dongfang Zhuo is also a young player who has risen in the past two years. He has won the Golden Boot of B. He was originally attracted by Manchester United, but he wants more playing time to train himself, so he went to the Dutch Eredivisie and is now a hot shooter in the Dutch Eredivisie!"

"Thank you for the answer, I'll look at the information."

Like the above dialogue, it happens in every corner of the Internet every moment, bringing a very useful help to the spread of football.

The next day, domestic and foreign media also exclaimed the Chinese team. They have indeed reached the top level in Asia, and there seems to be no team that can stop them from winning.

So far, Wang Feng's goal count is only ranked second in the scorer list. Media comments believe that he has not made much effort at all. The Asian Cup is probably similar to entertainment for Chinese superstars.

On the contrary, Dongfang Zhuo's performance was surprising. The strong performance of 7 goals in the Champions League Cup made people see the shadow of Wang Feng before he reached the top. Many radical media even shouted "China's next world footballer!"

Of course, most people are still very rational. They commented that although Dongfang Zhuo performed well, he has not yet experienced the baptism of cruel stages such as the wealthy family and the Champions League. The gap with Wang Feng is 100,800 miles away. The most important thing at the moment is to constantly improve yourself and then plan your future career.

In the other three Asian Cup quarterfinals, Japan fought with Australia, which had newly joined the AFC for 120 minutes. In the final penalty shootout, the Kangaroos were eliminated 5:4 and advanced to the semi-finals.

With China's strong rise and Australia's thrust into the game, the Asian football situation seems to have become more chaotic and the competition will be more intense.

Iraq easily defeated Vietnam, who accidentally entered the quarterfinals 2:0. They will meet the Chinese team in the semi-finals, while Saudi Arabia defeated Iran 2:1 and won the Siya derby.

Iraq, in the midst of war, is the biggest dark horse in this Asian Cup. No one expected them to perform so well, but after meeting China, everyone couldn't help but shake their heads. It seems that the journey of the dark horse is over.

However, Iraqi head coach Ambhiza doesn't think so. He said in an interview: "Iraq is not afraid of any tough battles, we will do our best to bring the Asian Cup back to our motherland!"

On July 25, the highly-watched Asian Cup semi-finals officially began, Iraq vs. China, Saudi Arabia vs. Japan.

The confident Chinese players felt the strong fighting spirit of their opponents as soon as they came up. As expected, the momentum of these players who came out of the war was completely different from that of other teams.

In the 17th minute, central defender Abdullamir stole Zhao Junzhe's ball and then passed it to Iraqi striker Yunis on the edge of the penalty area. The latter dunked Li Weifeng's pass and passed the back point.

Kalar headed straight for the ball, but was still unmoved when he was about to hit the post. At the last moment, he rubbed the ball, causing it to break through Li Leilei's ten fingers.

He couldn't hold back and hit the post, and immediately he was bleeding and could not continue the game. Head coach Ambujizha had to replace him with Munajade.

"A goal full of fighting spirit, Kalar helped Iraq to score the first record! Although we are the opponent, we still admire his behavior very much."

"This goal is easily reminiscent of the scene where Wang Feng was blood-stained in the battlefield in the World Cup last year. There are such great players in our team, who are stronger than him!"

The first goal was to conceal the Chinese team did not lose their sense. They gradually gained the demeanor of a strong man and still controlled the rhythm of the game in an orderly manner.

In the 30th minute, Wang Feng suddenly dribbled the ball and broke through, dribbling past two defensive players in a row. The second defensive player Abbas even stretched out his foot to trip him, but the Chinese superstar relied on his strong sense of balance and control ability to stabilize his body.

Then he suddenly made a cold arrow and shot directly. The ball was saved by Iraqi goalkeeper Noel and the Chinese team got a corner kick opportunity.

Wang Feng personally took the corner kick, and after he got to the penalty area, he successfully found Zheng Zhi who was ambushing in front of the goal. He gently waved his head and let the ball shoot into the net, 1:1! The Chinese team equalized the score!

At the end of the half, the two sides maintained a draw and changed sides and fought again. The Chinese team launched an unexpected attack as soon as they came up. Wang Feng received a direct pass from Shao Jiayi to counterattack and successfully entered the penalty area.

Then he drove the ball hard and avoided the goalkeeper who was attacking, caught up and shot at the empty goal at a small angle, 2:1!

After being overtaken by the score, Iraq fell into a crazy situation. Their fighting moves became even more fierce. They received yellow cards one after another. Even Zhang Yaokun was injured in the fighting with his opponent, and Alihan had to replace him.

Their efforts also received rewards. In the 73rd minute, Iraq successfully tied the score again through a corner kick opportunity. The forward of the top scorer Yunis pushed Li Weifeng hard and successfully grabbed the landing point.

During the game, Wang Feng was getting more and more angry. While observing the situation calmly, he called on his teammates to maintain a good mentality and handle the ball cleaner and faster, and not to get entangled with the opponent.

"The advantage is still in our hands!" He said, as time was approaching, the Chinese team launched an attack from the backcourt, and Zheng Zhi made a long teleport to the midfield.

After receiving the ball, Zhao Junzhe did not entangle with the opponent, and immediately passed it to Shao Jiayi not far away. The latter did not stay too much, but instead pushed it to Wang Feng in front of him.

Wang Feng received the ball with his back, then returned to Dongfang Zhuo who was receiving it, then turned around to get rid of Rehma's entanglement. His explosive power and speed were far above the Iraqi defender. Even if Rehma wanted to grab the Chinese superstar's clothes, he felt that his palm slipped and failed to achieve it.

Dongfang Zhuo understood and sent a straight pass into the heart of Iraq. Wang Feng thrust his feet and shot angrily against the ball. The ball quickly jumped into the Iraqi gate.

"The ball has entered! At the last moment of the game, Wang Feng scored the final goal!"

"It was about to enter overtime, but the Chinese team used a sophisticated cooperation to tear open the Iraqi defense line and determine the world with one blow!"
