The Asian Games quarterfinals are out.

China,

Turkmenistan,

Iran,

South Korea,

Thailand,

Uzbekistan,

Kuwait,

Qatar.

Among the teams entering the quarterfinals are 2 East Asian teams, 3 West Asian teams, 2 Central Asian teams and 1 Southeast Asian team. The Thai team is relatively barely entering the quarterfinals, and it is divided into a relatively weak group, relying on its

Its team's assistance was lucky to be shortlisted. If this Asian Games were not held in Thailand, the Southeast Asian teams might be wiped out.

All the four Central Asian teams participating in the competition entered the top 16, and two teams successfully broke through in the second stage of the group stage. Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan are still the same as China, and have remained unbeaten so far. This can be said to the least that Central Asian football has formed a three-legged stalemate with East and West Asian football.

However, all the Central Asian teams sent out this time were national team members, and they had a slight advantage in age. Another issue worth noting for Central Asian teams is the dual nationality issue of players. The Uzbekistan national team once fought with the Chinese team, but the Chinese team took advantage of their opponents easily. However, the Uzbekistan team participating in the Asian Games is almost another national team. Whenever they participate in Asian competitions, they may move from former Soviet countries, so their strength is difficult to estimate.

Let’s take a look, in this era, Uzbekistan has already played naturalization...

The two East Asian teams can be summarized in the second stage by the word "stability". The Korean team led by Xu Dingmao did not play faster than before, but this team seemed very experienced. The team had no passion in the game. Their tactical cooperation on the court was definitely not as good as the Japanese team, the eliminated East Asian team, but they had few loopholes, and they would never lose the balls they should not lose. They scored all the goals they should score, and they had a particularly strong ability to seize opportunities. Luck has always taken care of this team, in the second stage.

They won two penalty kicks in three games.

The biggest change of the Chinese team is that it is much more amazing than in the past. The second stage of the three games performed better in one game, and the three games were basically stable and amazing to play at their own level, which is the most satisfying. In fact, athletes have the deepest physical experience of this kind of change. They can play on the court, have enough self-confidence, and are more united. Physical fitness can illustrate this change. The Chinese team couldn't run after playing a few games in the past. After Horton coached the Chinese team, he never practiced physical fitness specifically, but athletes did not feel tired when playing games continuously. The reason is that the athletes can run.

The West Asian team, which entered the quarterfinals, is strong, but a common problem they face is how to adjust the status of the players. From the icy and snowy European arena to the hot Bangkok, Bagherry and others obviously did not reach their best. The Iranian team sent out the national team gave people a sense of dusk. The players were too old, and the current Iranian team's level seems to be inferior to that during the World Cup.

The Kuwait team also participated in the entire national team, but they have participated in the Arab Cup, Gulf Cup and Asian Games in the past three months, saying that no one can compare to this team when they are tired. Therefore, it is not surprising that they have the strength to win the UAE 5:0. They have this strength; it is not news that they lose to the Japanese team composed of young players, because they are too tired.

Qatar also moved from the Gulf Cup. They have not really encountered a test in the second stage because they are divided into a weaker group. This team is undoubtedly the weaker of the three West Asian teams.

Among the teams that were eliminated, the North Korean team has the strength and no experience, can't play against the wind, and lacks adaptability, and is normal to be eliminated, but the Chinese team that is about to meet in the Olympic peripheral games cannot measure the level of this team by the results of this game.

The Japanese team is a very promising team. The youngest team, with an average age of less than 20, has shown considerable tactical qualities. The players' good technical awareness and stable psychological qualities are highly praised by football experts who are watching the game here. Previously, when Zhu Guanghu was watching the Japanese team, he also worriedly said that this Japanese team will pose a great threat to the Chinese team in the future. In preparing for the 2000 Olympics, the Japanese team is ahead of the Asian powers, and it can be said that they are still honored even if they lose.

After that, the match came out.

China vs. Turkmenistan, South Korea vs. Thailand, Kuwait vs. Qatar, South Korea vs. Thailand, Iran vs. Uzbekistan.

The teams entering the quarterfinals still cannot be said to have no weak teams. The battles between China and Turkmenistan, South Korea and Thailand, and Kuwait and Qatar are still matches with distinct strength and weakness, but the distinct strength and weakness do not mean that the strong will definitely win. The schedule of the Asian Games is extremely unreasonable. The intensity of playing a game after a day of rest is quite high. Even strong teams may not be able to adapt to this density of games, which creates opportunities for relatively weak teams, and the possibility of upset increases.

When talking about the quarterfinals of the Chinese team against Turkmenistan, Zhu Guanghu, who was preparing to take the blame at the end of the Asian Games, said in a telephone interview with a domestic telephone interview, "After winning the Iranian team, Horton was very satisfied with the performance of the players on the field. The players' emotions were unprecedentedly high, and they were not complacent, and they had a clearer understanding of the problems and shortcomings of the team. These have established stronger confidence in the whole team's game against Turkmenistan."

Zhu Guanghu still believed in a low-key manner, "The strength of the Turkish team is not as good as that of Iran and Uzbekistan, but the China-Turkey team defeated the South Korean team in one fell swoop. Objectively, it is comparable to the Chinese team, each with its own characteristics. The Chinese team has an advantage in speed, and the local cooperation between the Turkish team is quite tacit."

"Although the Chinese team is not familiar with the Turkish team, they have had several matches and have some understanding of their basic playing style, but their opponents are not mysterious. Of course, because the opponent does not have any clear indicators for the Asian Games, the mentality is easy to be calm when playing the game; and the Chinese team is fully committed to achieving good results in the Asian Games, and they have a strong desire to win, and the corresponding pressure may be greater."

"While changing from a group round-robin system to a knockout system, all kinds of situations on the court may suddenly occur. The Chinese team must fully estimate various difficulties, and even be prepared to extend the long term and win the penalty kick."

When talking about the main lineup that the Chinese team may play in the Battle of Middle-earth, Zhu Guanghu said, "After a few games, the main lineup of the Chinese team has been roughly determined and it is not advisable to make any major adjustments. Although the two old players, Hao Haixi and Ma Mingyu, performed a little ups and downs, their experience and strength will still help the Chinese team."

"If everything is normal, the Chinese team should have the ability to defeat Turkmenistan, reach the semi-finals, and usher in the final decisive battle with the two top teams Iran or Uzbekistan!"

Many times, Zhu Guanghu is standing in front of the news media, and Holden rarely appears. Zhu Guanghu's role may be destined to be a tragedy...

Instead of continuing to prepare for the game crazily because the Turkmenistan game is about to come, Horton chose to give the players a vacation and rest.

The whole team went to watch the badminton team final together. The Chinese players were also very excited when they watched the badminton team win the championship and stood on the podium, raised their proud chin under the five-star red flag, and sang the national anthem.

"It seems..." Zheng Zhi suddenly murmured to himself beside Zhao Junzhe.

"Only the men's football team has not won the championship of the adult team, right?"

Zhao Junzhe: "..."

I don’t know what Zheng Zhi said at this time, but he still thought about it in his mind. Indeed, the Chinese team really never won the championship.

"It seems to be..."

The teammates around him heard it, and everyone fell into silence instantly. The excitement and happiness just now disappeared in an instant...

“Aren’t we?”

Li Yin opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to speak.
