The battle for the top spot in the Premier League was fiercely fought until the final stages of the game.
Chelsea fans cheered loudly.
The fear and insecurity in the hearts of Manchester City fans is written all over their faces.
The 1:1 number on the scoreboard will keep Manchester City at the top of the list for the time being.
In the 87th minute of the game, Hazard's quick dribbling in the frontcourt was like performing a successful inward cut with a small step, and then hit the dead center with a powerful shot.
Stamford Bridge shakes!
The Premier League is shocked!
Mourinho jumped up from the coaching bench and ran along the sidelines to celebrate!
Chelsea fans were ecstatic.
Manchester City fans lowered their heads helplessly.
"Hao Huang...did you see it?"
"Hao Huang, come back quickly, we are being bullied badly!"
"From leading by 8 points to falling behind by 1 point, this is simply an epic collapse!"
Pellegrini looked confused.
Manchester City executives had warned him before this top-of-the-table battle.
If it is really the same as tying a dog, then it is better to just tie a dog!
Tie up a dog and there will be enough shit.
Pellegrini will be paid millions of pounds every year.
Anyone who has no brains knows how to choose.
The Manchester City generals had complicated expressions.
When Hao Qiang was absent, they realized how much the team relied on him.
Aguero, who had the best statistics of his career, also had troubles.
There are a lot of mines that should explode in the defense line.
The only thing missing is the heroic figure of the god descending to earth.
The final whistle sounded and Manchester City lost at Stamford Bridge.
Fleet Street was flooded with praise for Chelsea.
"The Times": Chelsea bucked the trend and overtook Manchester City, resuming the suspense of the Premier League title!
"L'Equipe": Manchester City calculated everything but failed to realize that they would be sniped in the Asian Cup!
"The Guardian": Manchester City collapsed! Hao Qiang may not be able to turn the tide when he returns from the Asian Cup!
"Manchester Evening News": If nothing unexpected happens, Hao Qiang will return to the team next week, and the Manchester City God will return to his place!
Before the Asian Cup final.
The Premier League has changed, and the news that the top spot in the standings has changed hands was thrown in Hao Qiang's face by Korean reporters.
It seems as if they put all the responsibility for Manchester City's loss of top spot on Hao Qiang.
Probably only Manchester City fans are on the side of the Korean media.
Hao Huang should not have come to this Asian Cup!
Hao Qiang looked solemn and spoke in an official tone.
"What will be staged tomorrow night is the Asian Cup final. Issues that have nothing to do with the Asian Cup final have nothing to do with me."
"Does Manchester City have nothing to do with you?"
"South Korea cares so much about Manchester City, why don't you follow and report on Manchester City's performance? Off topic, pay attention to the tone of your words, you are talking to a French Ligue 1 champion, Bundesliga champion, Serie A champion, Premier League champion, Europa League champion, Champions League champion
Dialogue, if you don't know how to write the word "respect", then you are telling the whole world that in the football world, Korean players can be regarded as worthless and worthless.
Respecting the champion is the most basic respect for this sport.
Whether you have this cultivation or not depends on you.
I'm just a friendly reminder."
Hao Qiang's words made the scene full of excitement.
Although Korean reporters glared at him, they were actually very complicated inside.
So far, no Korean player has won as many honors as Hao Qiang.
Especially when they question Hao Qiang themselves, they are actually acknowledging Hao Qiang's influence in the Premier League championship situation.
Unfortunately, Korean players have never achieved this role alone.
Park Ji-sung?
How can someone who has never really played as a main force in Manchester United compare to Hao Qiang?
In fact, Hao Qiang does not expect to wake up the reporters in the Korean media, he is just being domineering.
In this three-thirds of an acre of land in Asia, showing off his honor is enough to shock everyone!
If it were in European football, I'm afraid it would be a bit overwhelming.
After all, there are many players in European football who hold the highest honors such as the World Cup, European Cup, Champions League, and League.
The Korean media did not bother to criticize Hao Qiang at this time.
Besides, who would buy into criticizing Hao Qiang?
In addition to their own fans complaining about the same enemy, can they disrupt the morale of the Chinese team?
The Asian Cup final is here as scheduled.
Sydney.
The stands at the final venue are red and white.
The South Korean team was drawn at home, so they wore red jerseys, while the Chinese team could only wear white away jerseys.
When Hao Qiang and Son Heung-min lead the starting lineups of each team, although neither is the captain, they are the focus of their respective teams.
Even Chinese football fans will give a thumbs up when they look at Son Heung-min.
"Without Hao Huang, Son Heung-min would be the best brother in Asia."
"But now Hao Huang is no longer limited to Asia's number one brother. After all, the so-called Asia's number one brother is still too low to be worthy of Hao Huang."
"South Korea should not be underestimated. The national football team will definitely face a fierce battle today!"
Hao Qiang looked majestic, and there seemed to be thunder in his eyes!
To be honest, given the height of the stage he has competed on in the past few years and the unforgettable battles he has experienced.
The Korean team ranks among the top three or two in Asia.
Their lineup can be ignored by him.
The national football team started with 433 today.
Hao Qiang partners with Wu Lei and Hao Junmin as the striker.
Zheng Zhi, Zhao Xue and Wu Xi play midfield.
The back line remains unchanged.
Wang Dalei guards the goal.
When the game started, the Chinese team started playing directly.
The iron barrel formation serves the Korean team.
From the comparison of the overall strength of the two teams, it is not difficult to see that the Korean team outperforms the Chinese team in terms of confrontation, speed, and coordination efficiency.
First of all, the Chinese team cannot engage in offensive battles with its opponents, nor can it engage in tug-of-war.
It is necessary to limit the opponent's offensive space and prevent speedy players like Son Heung-min from racing, but also to create space for one's own offense.
The posture is very low.
You can completely put down your face.
The South Korean team proactively launched a strong attack.
When Hao Qiang appeared in front of the national football team's midfielder line, in the area between the central midfielder and the defensive midfielder, Korean fans at least secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In the last match the Chinese team played against the United Arab Emirates, Hao Qiang appeared on the front line for only 20 minutes, but the power he displayed was impressive.
"The Chinese team is weak. As long as Hao Qiang doesn't appear on the front line, we only need to defend Wu Lei to be invincible!"
"The weak will be beaten. Fortunately, our offense can suppress the Chinese team, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."
"The Chinese team saw the situation clearly and took the initiative to retreat to defend against counterattacks."
The South Korean team's offense is obviously better on the wing.
The national football team is under huge defensive pressure on the wing, and they must be particularly vigilant about Son Heung-min's position.
Backcourt defense also pays attention to the triangle system.
Initially there were only two central defenders and one defensive midfielder forming a defensive triangle.
But by the middle of the first decade of the 21st century, the double defensive midfielder system began to become popular, and some anti-counterattack teams formed an interlocking iron triangle system.
The full-back and the adjacent central defender plus the defensive midfielder who are close together, the past two central defenders plus the defensive midfielder, superimpose the iron triangle on the other side.
It's like a group of peaks, with mountains and mountains rising one after another.
Although the national football team cannot be airtight, it follows the principles of the triangle defense system in terms of defensive execution.
What's more, they have 4 defenders plus 3 defenders, so the zone defense is more flexible.
Even if the Korean team can penetrate the inside from the wing, they will still be trapped.
There is not enough distance for them to completely get rid of the Chinese team's defense.
But the passivity of the national football team is clear at a glance.
Frequent clearances failed to organize an effective counterattack, and the Korean team continued to launch fierce attacks.
Son Heung-min was very active and completed two shots in the gap in the dense defensive area.
Unfortunately, due to the small space and the unsatisfactory starting environment, the football missed the ball directly.
Not much deviation.
In other words, if he hits, he will be so cunning that the goalkeeper will be helpless!
The overall performance of the South Korean team is the envy of national football fans.
Even if the opponent's level of competitive sportsmanship cannot be complimented, and it can even be said to be an absolute shame for Asia, in terms of hard power, South Korea as a whole is much better than the national football team.
The only hope for the national football team lies in that man.
There are not many offensive opportunities, but Hao Qiang is working hard to create a threatening offensive for the national football team whether he is defending or taking the initiative to move in the backcourt.
There were only three people on offense today.
Hao Junmin is the wing link between the front and backcourt, and Wu Lei presses the Korean team's back line, ready to counter offside at any time.
Hao Qiang is the link between the past and the next and is responsible for pushing the offense to the frontcourt.
His dribbling speed from the backcourt is not fast, but he has to ensure that there is no opponent behind him to sneak attack, which requires good timing and a clear understanding of the overall situation.
The South Korean team's sniping intensity against Hao Qiang was at full strength from the first minute.
However, the Korean midfielder's repeated collisions and confrontations did not cause harm to Hao Qiang. Instead, they themselves were booked for excessive movements.
Once Hao Qiang is surrounded and suppressed, he will quickly play the ball.
But there aren't many secrets in the Chinese team's offense, which leaves Hao Junmin and Wu Lei with less than ideal space to play.
The Korean team's offense began to play more delicately.
The National Football Team's compressed space does not mean that it can completely seal off the huge penalty area.
Hao Qiang knows the characteristics of Son Heung-min very well. As long as he can receive the pass from his teammates in the open position and start a wave of acceleration, it will be difficult for the defensive players to get close.
Because the distance from the penalty area line to the position where you can take a shot is only three or four steps.
Just after 20 minutes of the game, Hao Qiang decisively used the legendary card.
Brazilian midfield legend, Mou Silva.
Ji Chengyong's long shot was saved by Wang Dalei. The quality of the shot was acceptable. Wang Dalei was obviously a little nervous today.
Probably standing in the finals, no one can face it easily.
The South Korean team tried every means to switch methods to create a threat.
Fortunately, they do not have an absolute advantage in the high center, at least in terms of means, they can first stop the lob bombing, so that the national football team can focus on restricting the opponent's passing and cutting, individual breakthroughs, and long-range shots.
The fierce competition is dizzying.
The national football team, which has been beaten all the time, is in a precarious situation.
It seems that as long as the Korean team improves their offensive quality and shooting quality slightly, they will be able to break the national football team's goal.
The cheers from Korean fans grew stronger and stronger.
Chinese football fans already have an ominous premonition in their hearts.
The main reason is that the scene cannot make them confident.
It happened that at this time, when Hao Qiang was controlling the ball in the backcourt and was attacked by a sniper, he controlled the ball casually and turned back to pass the ball straight to the front from the gap in front of him.
Wu Lei took the initiative to retreat to respond.
Repeated attempts to counter offside failed, so the natural choice was to retreat.
After Wu Lei took possession of the ball, he took two steps forward and then passed the ball to the wing when he was intercepted.
Hao Junmin has already started and continues to advance with the ball.
At this time, the Korean team will quickly return to defense.
Hao Qiang ran forward firmly.
Wu Lei accelerated to attack the opponent's back line.
The South Korean team's back line was worried about Hao Junmin's wonderful pass, so they immediately returned to defense at full speed.
All the way back to the penalty area with Wu Lei.
Hao Junmin encountered a sniper on the wing and had to pass the ball.
Hao Qiang took the initiative to change directions and respond, resolving his urgent need.
After dribbling forward, Hao Qiang was intercepted by two Korean midfielders.
Korean players are really ruthless and decisive!
However, Hao Qiang suddenly stopped to pull the ball, turned around, changed his feet and pulled the ball to change direction.
Marseille Slalom!
The eyes of all the fans in the audience lit up instantly.
Not many players can be seen doing fancy moves in Asian competitions.
Especially this is the Asian Cup!
After Hao Qiang got rid of the two men, he moved toward the center of the penalty area.
At this time Wu Lei retreated from the penalty area again.
But the South Korean team's defense did not notice this. Their attention was entirely on Hao Qiang.
The defenders attack together in a zone defense.
Hao Qiang quickly passed the ball to Wu Lei, and then forced forward.
The Korean defender pounced too hard. He stopped suddenly and turned around to pull, but was blocked by Hao Qiang.
Wu Lei didn't dare to stick to the ball, so he stopped and passed the ball as smoothly as possible.
Hao Qiang pushed forward and then connected to form a single!
Usually he was the one who made balls for Wu Lei, but this time it was Wu Lei who delivered the cannonballs to him.
The Korean team's defense collapsed instantly.
Hao Qiang, who went to the meeting alone, calmly pushed the shot into the lower right corner of the goal.
The angle is tricky enough and the ball speed is fast enough.
Although the visual impact is not explosive.
But the moment the football rolled into the goal, the scene exploded!
"Hao Huang breaks the deadlock! You don't have to trust anyone, but you must trust Hao Huang!"
"The South Korean team's defense can't stop Hao Huang!"
"It would be great if our overall strength was stronger, so that Hao Qiang could fire wildly in the frontcourt! Among the Asian heroes, who can stand it?"
"Don't think so much, now let's cheer for the goal and cheer for Hao Huang!"
After Hao Qiang scored the goal, he roared and rushed to the sidelines. When he came to the sidelines, he frantically slapped the team logo on his left chest, showing his domineering and arrogant look!
The Korean generals looked shocked, and their scalps went numb looking at Hao Qiang's figure.
Son Heung-min's expression was full of bitterness.
Looking at Hao Qiang's series of operations just now, from advancing to responding, Marseille spins and then hits the wall to pass and cooperate.
Under the background of being targeted by the Korean team's defense, he can achieve reasonable and unexpected results in almost every ball handling. This kind of strength is terrifying, very terrifying!
Especially Hao Qiang does not have an absolute speed advantage.
This becomes even more valuable.
What a difference.
Gao Hongbo didn't dare to celebrate.
The situation will not change just because the national football team takes the lead.
His expression even became unnatural.
I became even more nervous and obviously worried about gains and losses.
The national football generals relieved some of the pressure. When they were celebrating the end of their retreat, they heard Gao Hongbo shouting to them to stabilize their mentality and stay focused. Everyone immediately nodded to express their understanding.
