Chapter 122 Revenge after eight years
Although the Chinese team's victory over Iran was bumpy, the ending was completely expected. The significance of this game is a watershed to a greater extent.
Before this, domestic local cannon players took the lead in both the league and the national team with their age and experience. Although the latecomers are coming in a turbulent manner, they are still immature after all.
However, in a striking Asian Cup quarterfinals, the Chinese cannons collectively used their own martial arts in various ways, almost putting the team in desperate situations. Apart from describing them as suicide, they really couldn't find a more suitable vocabulary.
On the other hand, Chunlei players led by Mei Zixi are not afraid of strong enemies. They take action when they should, drawing their swords and bringing the wind. In a game, the best and the worst are judged immediately.
This Asian Cup, especially this quarter-final match with Iran, will surely have a profound impact on the Chinese football order. Whether in the national team or the league, the young players of the Spring Thunder are not only unstoppable, but also become a torrent.
Even if they are still immature and even if they make mistakes in the game, the blooming of hope will surely drive away the mediocrity.
It has been ten years since Zhuo Yang returned to the national team. Chinese people have become accustomed to everything about Chinese football. As Zhuo Yang entered the ranks of veterans, the football circle began to think about what would happen to Chinese football in the "post-Zhuo Yang era" and where to go?
This further triggered the thinking of "if Zhuo Yang had never been", what would Chinese football think now?
The result of the deduction is very unoptimistic. Some factors will not change, such as the serious gap between players born in the 1990s, such as the convergence and mediocrity of players, and there is no one in the top 20 in Asia in various positions in China.
Some factors will definitely not be there again, such as three times to the World Cup and the grades will gradually improve. Without the World Cup, there will naturally be no future overseas trend. Of course, three Zhang and one Yan will not have the opportunity to further study.
Without Zhuo Yang, there would be no hope Chunlei, and there would be no Chinese football youth training boom led by him. The national team and the league will still select players from less than 10,000 people every year.
The result of the deduction makes people cold and desperate, and there is also panic about the "Post-Zhuo Yang era".
In fact, during the period when Zhuo Yang was in trouble in 2015, Chinese football previewed the ice age. The domestic football world was in chaos and all kinds of scum emerged. The national team defeated Qatar and almost failed to reach the top 12 in the World Cup.
People who are used to a better life cannot go back to the quagmire of the past, so despite the fact that the new national youth and national youth, with the young players of the spring bud as the main body, have been singing all the way and defeating the same age group in Asia, the domestic football industry and fans are still
Don't dare to be too optimistic.
Youth performance cannot be simply equated with adult teams. Chinese football has not been able to do national youth teams before, and no one has ever had a Platinum generation.
Even though the overseas trend with spring bud players as the main body is overwhelming and has become a group-scale "invasion" of the new Chinese Super League, people still dare not be too optimistic because everyone's appetite is hung up, and the skyscrapers are so high that it is no longer a rush to Asia.
Target.
The young players did not perform in the national adult team, and no one was sure of it. Shu Zhongyong was the Xingshihengyan left by his ancestors.
The dull performance against Asian weak third-rate Kyrgyzs in the group stage seems to confirm people's concerns. No matter how bad Chinese football is, it should be a trash team that plays such a garbage team, right? Why is it so difficult?
In fact, Kyrgyzstan is not garbage. Chinese football without Zhuo Yang has never been able to get a knife, and all living beings have generally misunderstood.
All living beings are blind. Everyone believes that in the short term, the league and the national football team must continue to rely on local cannons. It is not that they are excellent, but that they are not allowed to choose for the time being.
But a 6:3 match with the rival Iran decisively overturned people's entanglement. The earth-crewed gun door habitually and blinked his eyes to raise a blind man. One generation is worse than the other. They gradually moved away from the origin of football, but were classified as scandals and
Joke jokes.
In sharp contrast, the young players of Hope Spring Bree who are full of talent but down-to-earth are nothing short of experience, skills, tactics, fighting spirit and psychological qualities.
In the unfavorable situation of 9-to-11, the young players cooperated with Zhuo Yang, and even Zhuo Yang cooperated with them to achieve a head-on blow to the Iranians' delusion, and wiped the butts cleanly at the earth cannon door, which was enough to explain all the problems.
At this time, people looked back at the scene of the battle with Kyrgyzstan. Although the young players played imperfectly, they fought alone to face their adult opponents, and Zhuo Yang did not participate.
In the match with Iran, Zhuo Yang's hat trick was not enough, and he was almost trapped by his teammates and was trapped in the ladder. He obviously couldn't help. Zhuo Yang was about to turn 34 years old. Who can become his helper? Who can take over after he retires?
The gun of the revolution, the answer is obvious.
The young players of Chunlei have grown too fast, each game is the same. Originally, Zhuo Yang and Zhashuai promoted some young players to participate in the Asian Cup to give some pressure to the team's third-place winners, but they didn't expect that the pressure would exceed the standard. Of course,
This is a welcome pressure.
In the original plan, the first wave of spring buds will arrive at 21 to 24 years old in 2022, which is the age group to be used at an appropriate scale and is also in line with the international rules of football youth training.
But now it seems that the national team's "Spring Bud Plan" is greatly advanced. The green seedlings grow fiercely and the wormwood cannot be covered.
Not only the national team, but also the operators and head coaches of the top teams in the 18 new Chinese Super League divisions also thought carefully after this game: Can the Chunlei players in the echelon take the lead in advance?
.
One day later, all four quarters of the four games were revealed. Except for China and Iran's heart-stirring 6:3, the other three games were relatively low-key 1:0.
In a game where the advantage was not obvious, the Japanese team ended the dark horse Vietnam's advance with a penalty kick from Doraemon in the second half. To be honest, the Vietnamese youth army is still honored even though it is defeated, and this Asian Cup is quite profitable.
.
Qatar defeated Iraq 1-0, not Moez Ali. He is still 7 goals in the group stage, ranking second after Zhuo Yang's 13 goals.
The host UAE eliminated the defending champion Australia 1-0 with center forward Mabhott's goal. It's actually quite a pity, because the Chinese team also wants to eliminate the Australians and now there is no chance.
The semi-finals will start in three days, with tight barriers between East and West, with Chinese team vs Japan, UAE vs Qatar.
This is a late fight of revenge. Eight years ago in the UAE, in the 2011 Asian Cup final, the Chinese team lost 1:2 overtime to Japan and lost the championship. Zhuo Yang was sent off by a red card at the last moment.
In his life, the 2011 Asian Cup final was Zhuo Yang's only defeat in the final. Whether it is the Champions League, the FA Cup, the Super Cup, the Club World Cup, the World Cup, he will be his. I didn't expect a small Asian Cup.
But the boat capsized.
Otherwise, "never lost any finals" would be a great record. So this semi-final is a double revenge battle between Zhuo Yang and the national team.
There was actually a case when he got the red card that Shinji Kagawa received for malicious infringement.
He directly broke Shinji Kagawa's cruciate ligament, and the foul was quite bad. Zhuo Yang was led to the direct red. The penalty for the competition was always strict. After the game, he was added one more game and suspended for two games in total.
To be honest, this punishment has taken great care of Zhuo Yang. If it were someone else, it might be suspended for ten games. At that time, the Japanese team was very complaining and questioned Zhuo Yang's choice of two games banned.
There was no precedent for red cards in the finals of the Asian Cup before, so there are three options for the banned games in the World Cup qualifiers next year, two years later, and four years later.
The Japanese said that the red card in the finals is naturally counted as the main game. In fact, they know that these three types of competitions are the most important and can also hit the Chinese national team the most. Unfortunately, what they said doesn't count.
The ban on the Asian game was finally decided to be executed during the 2013 Asian Cup qualifiers. This was the ruling with the Chinese team and Zhuo Yang that had the least losses. Zhuo Yang had no plans to participate at all. The Asian Cup qualifiers were just
Just a match.
A red card that changed Shinji Kagawa's career, a foul that made the Japanese grit their teeth was suspended, and it was dispelled indifferently. The Japanese have been rebelling for several years.
Eight years ago, Japanese top Keiyuki Honda said: Zhuo Yang is the best star in Asia, and Japan is the best team in Asia.
