When the players from both sides walked out of the stadium, the fans took the lead in starting the first battle.
The voices on both sides grew louder and louder. You suppressed me and I suppressed you. There was no way to tell the winner.
"Dear viewers and fans, welcome to watch the 2019 UAE Asian Cup final match between the Chinese team and the Japanese team."
"The players from both sides have now lined up and are exchanging team flags. Luo Wu chose the north side of the court, and the Japanese team got the opportunity to kick off first."
"We won't say any more about the history of football confrontation between China and Japan. Our only goal today is to defeat the Japanese team and win the Asian Cup!"
The two sides then set up their formations, the referee blew the whistle, and the battle officially started!
"The Japanese team's starting lineup today is almost all the main players."
"Midfielder: Ritsu Doyasu, Gaku Saizaki, Hang Endo, Genki Haraguchi;"
"Forwards: Osako Yuya, Minamino Takumi."
"Everyone says that our Chinese team is very strong, but I want to tell you that the Japanese team is actually stronger. The reason why we are strong is because of Luo Wu and not because of the overall strength. The Japanese players are very capable and the overall ability is also very strong. This
That’s our biggest difference.”
"So we all need to be mentally prepared. This will definitely be a very tough battle, even more difficult than the 2004 game!"
Immediately after the Japanese team kicked off the ball, they used dazzling coordination to launch an attack into the Chinese team's hinterland. The continuous passes prevented the Chinese players from touching the ball, and soon they advanced to the Chinese team's penalty area.
The ball was passed to the feet of Japanese forward Takumi Minamino. Minamino didn't even stop the ball, and directly made an arc with his right foot. The ball went straight to the upper left corner of the goal, but unfortunately the ball slightly missed the crossbar.
The Japanese team's first shot was quite dangerous.
After Wang Dalei picked up the ball, he immediately threw it to Zhang Linpeng on the right. Zhang Linpeng decisively pushed forward, but then the Japanese team players pressed forward very quickly, blocking his path. Zhang Linpeng could only pass the ball to Hao in the middle.
Junmin.
Hao Junmin knelt down directly, and the opponent fouled behind him, which was quite decisive.
The Chinese team could only switch to a positional battle, and the ball returned to the feet of Feng Xiaoting in the middle.
But Feng Xiaoting didn't have time to adjust. The Japanese players were too wasteful. Except for the goalkeeper, everyone moved forward to press man-to-man.
Damn team spirit.
Feng Xiaoting had to kick the ball back to Wang Dalei, who kicked the ball past the midfielder with a big kick.
I didn't master my kicking skills well. I wanted to kick Zhang Yuning, but ended up falling to the other end.
The Japanese team's right back Yuto Nagatomo rushed forward with the ball. The Japanese captain is already in his thirties this year, but he is still the mainstay of the Japanese team.
He decisively cooperated with his teammates and quickly rushed past Wei Shihao.
He did not pass the ball out, but continued to rush forward with the ball.
Huang Bowen ran over quickly, but the cunning Yuto Nagatomo passed the ball to his teammate again.
The person who responded to him was Endo Hang.
Without stopping the ball, Endo Hiroshi pushed the ball forward diagonally, and once again completed the wall-hitting style with Nagatomo Yuto.
This time Nagatomo Yuto finally pocketed the ball into the back of the Chinese team's penalty area.
Minamino Takumi, who was lying in ambush behind, tried to hit the goal before Shi Ke, but Zhang Linpeng came from behind and directly pushed the ball out of the baseline.
It seems that Zhang Linpeng is in good condition today.
If he hadn't filled the position in time, Shi Ke would have been in tragedy.
The Japanese team won a corner kick.
They quickly took a tactical corner kick and did not pass the ball into the penalty area.
After receiving the ball, Tang Anlu quickly dribbled the ball towards the left side of the Chinese team's penalty area. Hao Junmin did not dare to approach him and stayed firmly on the line of the penalty area.
But instead of making a personal breakthrough, Ritsu Dongan knocked the ball across to Yue Shibazaki in the middle. The latter didn't stop the ball and directly picked the ball into the right side of the Chinese team's penalty area!
This wave of cooperation is dazzling to watch, and the pace is quite fast.
Isamu Osako suddenly appeared on the right side of the penalty area and made a diving leap to the top.
The ball flew to the right side of the goal, but Wang Dalei's position was very beautiful and he shot the ball steadily out of the baseline.
The Japanese team completed its second kick.
It was still the Japanese team's corner kick. They once again took a tactical corner kick. There was some noise in the Chinese team's penalty area, and everyone was constantly trying to get a good position.
But the ball still didn't fly into the penalty area, and rolled to near the top of the penalty area again. Shibasaki took the ball and scored to the left.
Zhang Linpeng immediately locked up Don Anryu who was holding the ball. Tang Anryu immediately passed the ball back to Sakai Hiroki. Unexpectedly, Sakai Hiroki actually moved his kick laterally and carried the ball to the other end of the court and handed it to Nagatomo Yuto.
Really too confident.
Moreover, this footwork is not to mention, the pass is quite accurate.
Nagatomo Yuto took the ball and then sent the ball into the Chinese team's penalty area.
This time it was actually a half-high ball. The ball landed at the front point and bounced in the corner of the penalty area.
Originally, Feng Xiaoting was standing in front of Minamino Takumi. He directly raised his left leg and swung the ball, but he missed the ball!
The ball rolled in front of Minamino Takumi.
Minamino Takumi reacted very quickly. He is not very tall. He immediately turned around and swept the ball with his right foot!
clatter!
A grounder flew to the far corner.
Or the reverse angle.
Although Wang Dalei's position was very reasonable and his reaction was very quick, he immediately pounced down, but the ball still went under his armpit first!
"well!"
"well!"
"The ball was lost."
"The Japanese team took the lead and their top scorer Takumi Minamino scored."
"Feng Xiaoting shouldn't have played this ball. His left foot missed the ball and it was picked up by Minamino Takumi..."
Zhan Jun sighed and shook his head.
"Throughout the entire Asian Cup, Feng Xiaoting's performance was quite outstanding. He should be the best defender, but he still made mistakes in the final."
"Maybe it was because I was too nervous. If the ball hadn't hit the turf, I probably wouldn't have made a mistake in my judgment."
"It can only be said that it was a mistake while busy. The Japanese team's offense was too fast and fierce. They have an all-round three-dimensional attack. They can play wonderful cooperation on any line. It is really hard to guard against."
"As I said just now, this is definitely a very tough game..."
"The Chinese team once again chose the traffic style of play..."
