Chapter 086 East Asian Cup and another expedition
After playing the 20th round of the Brazilian League, Wang Ziyi, a group of C nationality players, set off back to China again, and then took just one day of rest before participating in the next East Asian Cup. The original East Asian Cup main stage was planned to be held on 8
It was held from the 2nd to the 9th of the month. It was only postponed to now due to some delays. It also gave the Portuguese a rare period of time to chase points.
Li Zhao and coach Hiddink personally took them to the airport, and then reluctantly said goodbye after explaining some precautions.
The East Asian Cup is the abbreviation of the East Asian Football Championship. The final round, also known as the East Asian Final Four, is a football tournament hosted by the East Asian Football Association. It is held every two years and is hosted by Japan, South Korea, and China in turn. It was first held in 2003.
In the five competitions so far, the C national team has achieved good results and has won two championships in 2005 and 2010.
The host of the sixth East Asian Cup happens to be country C, so the advantage is still huge. The competition is from August 25th to September 1st, and one week will not have much impact on the club as a whole. And for
Li Zhao was still very concerned about Wang Ziyi's game. Although the time between the two places was different, it did not affect him from watching the game through special broadcast channels.
The East Asian Cup is the abbreviation of the East Asian Football Championship. The final round is also called the East Asian Final Four. It is a football tournament hosted by the East Asian Football Association. It is held every two years and is hosted by Japan, South Korea, and China in turn. It includes men’s football and
There are two different levels of women's football competitions. In addition to China, Japan and South Korea, the four teams in this finals, the other national team selected is the North Korean team. Each team will compete with the other three teams once, and then rely on
The final points and number of goals won are used to calculate the final ranking.
On August 25, two men's matches were played at the Wuhan Sports Center Stadium. The first match was North Korea versus Japan, and the result was a bit unexpected. The Japanese team scored early and had the advantage throughout the game.
In Xia's situation, the North Korean team scored two goals in a row in the final stage of the game, and finally completed the counterattack.
The second game started at 9 o'clock in the evening. Country C played against South Korea, but Wang Ziyi and the others did not appear in the starting lineup. In terms of overall strength, the Country C team is actually not much weaker than the opponent, but the fear has always been
The Korean phenomenon still put them at a disadvantage for a long time after the start. As a result, they were scored twice in succession in the 45th minute before the end of the first half and the 53rd minute after the beginning of the second half. Seeing that the result may be another loss, the new team
The incoming coach Gao Hongbo finally decided to replace Wang Ziyi and Hu Jinghang. The overall effect has improved. Although the loss was still unavoidable in the end, Wang Ziyi's header from the corner kick in the 87th minute of the game
Still helped the C national team get a goal back, thus giving the fans a glimmer of hope.
On August 28, it was another two contests in the second round of the East Asian Cup. The C national team's game was still ranked in the latter one. The first game was a collision between Japan and South Korea, two traditional Asian teams. The final result was
The 1-1 handshake made peace.
Gao Hongbo made adjustments in the second game of the C national team, and Wang Ziyi and the others finally got the chance to start. But what surprised everyone was that the game that was originally thought to be evenly matched turned out to be almost one-sided.
Condition.
As soon as the game started, there was an obvious leak in the penalty area of the North Korean team. Hu Jinghang saw the right opportunity and assisted Wu Lei to take the lead.
In the 18th minute, Wang Ziyi received a pass from Harik from the wing and shot with great force to help the C national team gain another victory.
Before the end of the first half, Hu Jinghang saw that the opponent's goalkeeper was too far forward, so he tried a lob near the arc of the center circle, but he did not expect to actually score, which shocked everyone in the field.
If there are no accidents, this goal will become the best goal since the start of the East Asian Cup. With the outstanding performance of everyone, the C national team achieved a dream start with a three-goal lead at the end of the first half.
After the second half, the C national team once again expanded its lead, and Yu Dabao and Wang Yongpo also made contributions. Although the coach replaced today's meritorious officials like Wang Ziyi, the previously established advantage was not so easily overturned.
But the fly in the ointment is that in the second half of the second half of the game, the C national team made the old habit of letting down its vigilance after taking the lead. In the final stage, the North Korean team pulled back two goals in a row, making the final score fixed at 5-2.
.
This game was undoubtedly a big defeat for the North Korean team, and the result was unprecedented in the many years of confrontation between the two teams. The biggest reason why they conceded so many goals was because they fought too hard in the last game, resulting in
In this game, the two generals in the defense were unable to participate, so they were frequently broken through.
In this game, Wang Ziyi, as the leader of the group of young players, performed the most eye-catchingly. He also did a very good job in interception. In many cases, he completed the steal directly in the opponent's frontcourt and directly threatened the opponent's goal.
But when it comes to making the biggest contribution, it is not him, but Hu Jinghang who contributes silently in the midfield. Although his role in the Portuguese team was not that prominent, his experience in the past two years has made him improve a lot and become a
He became the organizational engine of the offense in this game, and every pass and shot is the best proof of his strength.
The eyes return to the Portuguese Club in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The following August 29th will be the 21st round of their Brazilian League. Although the Portuguese are faced with the lack of a certain general, they still have Li Zhao, Leonard, etc.
People can fill in accordingly, and the opponent they faced at home this time was also the weaker Internazionale Brazil. With proper tactics, they could still suppress the opponent. Li Zhao's position was also moved up and faced him again.
Then came the explosion. After scoring two goals in the first half, he assisted Leonard to score in the second half, allowing the Portuguese to finally win 3-1 at home.
So there is still the last game of the East Asian Cup on September 1, and Li Zhao naturally has no chance to watch it because he is leaving too.
After this round of the Brazilian League, Li Zhao and Leonard will report to the Portuguese national team again to prepare for the next European Cup qualifiers, so they will definitely not be able to compete with Wang Ziyi and the others in the second round.
We met for a while, but maybe we can learn about the progress and results of the final East Asian Cup game through other news channels on the way.
"Hello, cousin!" Li Zhao received a call from Figo in the waiting hall before departure.
"You must be aware of the specific situation, so I won't say more. We are all waiting for the arrival of you two brothers, and there is an important arrangement that needs to be discussed with you then," Figo said on the phone.
.
"Can you first reveal what is going on?" Li Zhao was intrigued by the second half of Figo's words and couldn't help but ask.
"We can't say this yet. You'll know when you get here soon anyway. It's not a bad thing anyway. Of course you still have the right to make your own choices then." Figo gave the final response.
After ending the call, Li Zhao and Leonard finally boarded a flight to Lisbon again. This time the Portuguese national team faced Albania in the qualifiers, and it was an away game.
Just after they got on the plane, in the cafe separated by a wall, Xue Jin hid in the dark and quietly observed their actions, and was ready to report the latest situation here to his new boss at any time.
Although he still kept in touch with Guo Bin, he had actually broken away from the relationship. He originally thought that he could only go back and take over his father's declining business, but he didn't expect that at this moment someone offered him an olive branch, and the offer was too much for him to refuse.
conditions of.
"Yes, yes, boss Li, this is the situation. What, you told me not to act rashly, but you can't cause trouble for Li Zhao and the others? Why is this?" Xue Jin said in confusion.
"Don't ask too many questions if you shouldn't. Anyway, if you dare to mess around or affect my cousin, I won't let you go. Do you still remember the Corinthians goalkeeper in the 19th round of the Brazilian League?
, His situation in the second half was obviously abnormal, don’t think I don’t know what you did.” A somewhat hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone, but if Li Ruolan was here, he would definitely be very familiar with this.
"I know!" Although Xue Jin was somewhat unwilling to accept this, he had to accept it.
Strictly speaking, the grudge between him and Li Zhao is more about face. Now he is not the same as he was at the beginning. There is nothing that he cannot let go in order to survive. Maybe one day he will reconcile with the other party.
Chapter completed!
