Chinese fans also gave Chinese team tips on Sina.com:

"Japan is terrible. Whenever the Japanese team plays against the Chinese team, the Japanese team attaches great importance to it. Just like in the Sino-Japanese Confrontation at the beginning of this year, Nakada had to be invited back to play the Chinese team that was trying out at the time. It can be said that except for Nakada's normal performance, everyone else was not good at playing well. It seems that they couldn't do it, and Nakada was also seen to death, and basically there were not many good goals. In this game, Zheng Zhi was not in the national team, and Japan could not win."

"On the contrary, the Chinese team is particularly strong in playing against the Japanese team. It seems that they will not lose no matter how they play. If they have psychological advantages, they will perform good moves and will not be easily tired. When we play against Japan, we should still use headers to deal with them. The Japanese team's midfielder is afraid of close-fitting pressing. As long as we use our body to press against the Japanese team's frontcourt players and prevent them from running, they will be strong and unable to come out. They must have the strength to tackle their legs. In this way, they are afraid. As long as the Japanese who plays skills are tangled by us, they will definitely be done."

There are also very cautious fans:

"Football is a very special competitive sport. Both sides of the game do not necessarily win if one side is stronger than the other, and even one side will lose if one side performs well. The above scene is often performed in large-scale competitions such as the World Cup. So I think that in the match between China and Japan tomorrow, the Chinese team can defeat Japan as long as they do the following points: 1. Correct skills and tactics; 2. Stable performance; 3. Strong spirit. From the current level of the Chinese and Japanese teams, the Chinese team is indeed stronger than Japan, but the gap between them is not too big to be remedied."

"The wonderful examples in history are worth learning from. In the 1986 World Cup, the French team led by Platini was above Brazil, Argentina, and West Germany. Especially after defeating Brazil in the 8-4 game, they all thought that the French would win, because the West Germany team was not in a state of disorganized personnel, the team was aging, and the technology was obviously insufficient. However, the German defeated the French team 2:0 with the above 3 points. The Germans adopted the midfielder's strong midfielder to give up the midfielder, actively defended 20m in front of the penalty area, and defeated the French team in the peak of their lives. I remember that this successful battle at that time caused widespread discussion in the world football world. Today, the situation between the Chinese and Japanese teams was very similar to that of the French and German teams at that time. We must be careful!"

"There is another saying that if you are a hot guy, you will die. I think it's really dangerous to fight a little Japanese."

...

...

Of course, these Chinese head coaches Horton can think of them.

It is said that arrogance will definitely be defeated. Although the Chinese team is strong, the players performed very crazy after winning streaks. Horton has seen the signs that he must kill the players' arrogance.

We often say: "The first thing to win is paper, and experts are not rude to three goals." Judging from the World Cup, European Cup and this Asian Cup, the team that was in shape too early will definitely not go far. Iran has already returned home in this Asian Cup. This year's European Cup, the Netherlands team defeated Yugoslavia 6:1. In the semi-finals, weren't there just five penalty kicks? But before that, how many people are not optimistic about the Netherlands?

27th.

This day finally came.

In Lebanon, Gurut, the stadium is still not half full. From the beginning of the Asian Cup to today's final, it seemed very cold. It seemed that there were more birds flying through the sky than the fans in the audience.

However, there were still a lot more Chinese fans coming to the scene than before. In the sparse stands, hundreds of Chinese fans seemed to be waving the five-star red flag.

This is risking his life to come to Lebanon to watch the football.

On the side of the court, hundreds of reporters seemed particularly abrupt. This wave of people was the real professional. They had already set up long and short shots on the sidelines to welcome the game.

"CCTV, CCTV, audiences, fans, welcome to watch the 2000 12th Asian Cup final brought to you by CCBV, China vs Japan!"

"Obviously, Japan and China are the two best teams in Asia."

"Today's final is the battle for the overlords of Asia. Whoever wins will be the overlords of Asia. If the Chinese team wins, they will be able to win the Asian Cup for the first time, and once the Japanese team wins, it will be the second time."

"In this game, the Chinese team still insists on putting me as the main lineup. In the starting 442 lineup of Horton, goalkeepers Jiang Jun, defenders Wu Chengying, Li Weifeng, Fan Zhiyi, and Sun Jihai; midfielders Li Ming, Zheng Zhi, Shao Jiayi, and Li Yin, the forward line is still led by Yang Chen and Su Maozhen, who have performed well in this year. As for the Japanese team, obviously they are unwilling to change the formation. In addition to replacing Yuji Nakazawa with Naoki Matsuda, the starting 352 lineup has not changed: goalkeeper Kawaguchi can survive, guards Hattori Nian Hong, Morioka Takazo, Matsuda Naoki, midfielder Matsuda Hatsuhiro, Morishima Hiroki, Shunsuke Nakamura, Junichi Naochi Inamoto, Akishi Aki, and Akishi Aki, the forward line are two Nishizawa Akiho and Naota Kogen, who are currently on the front of the scorer list."

"Three defenders, Japan sacrificed the defender in order to increase the strength of the midfield. Yang Chen and Hao Haixi's chances came. Of course, their two full-backs can retreat at any time and become guards, and their formation has also changed from 352 to 532."

"Olympic champion vs World Youth Championship runner-up! The competition begins soon!"

Beep ~

The Chinese team took the lead in kicking off, and the ball quickly fell to Zheng Zhi's feet. The Japanese players pressed very quickly and immediately suppressed the Chinese team's passing space. Except for the goalkeeper, almost everyone was obsessed with people and pressed up and followed the Chinese players.

The Chinese players passed continuously, and the speed was naturally raised. Among the 11 starting players, except for Li Ming, Su Maozhen and Wu Chengying, the other players were all playing football in Europe. They were actually not worried about such pressing, and the ball was passed calmly.

The Japanese team snatched the ball for more than a minute but failed to snatch the ball. Kurashiro Morishima was inseparable from Zheng Zhi. He had no choice but to get the ball three times. On the fourth time, Kurashiro Morishima simply put Zheng Zhi down.

However, after Zheng Zhi drove the ball out, he wanted to hand the ball over to Yang Chen. Yang Chen was unstable in protecting the ball and was stolen by Ming Bohao! The Japanese team, who had the ball for the first time, immediately launched an offensive. With the advantage of the number of midfielders, they quickly advanced to the backcourt of the Chinese team. However, the middle barrier formed by Zheng Zhi and Li Yin still protected the Chinese team's defense line well. The Japanese players were not in a hurry and divided the ball to the two sides, and then quickly passed the ball back to the middle.

In fact, they wanted to widen the offensive width, but in the end they wanted to seek the possibility of a breakthrough in the middle. Why? Because their height has no advantage, they can only write in the middle. But the Chinese team has the strongest middle lane and a strong sense of defense.

In this way, the Japanese players once again divided the ball into sides.

Junichi Inamoto and Shunsuke Nakamura took turns to control the midfield and managed the midfield in an orderly manner. For a few minutes, the Chinese team's defense was really exhausted!

"Oh,"

"As a matter of fact, we can't underestimate the Japanese team. The cooperation is not inferior to the Chinese team."

"Fortunately, the Japanese team has tried to pass the ball from the middle several times, but they are still forced to the wing."

Finally, the ball flew into the Chinese team's penalty area from the right, but no Japanese player could complete the shot. The ball finally fell to Zheng Zhi's feet. Zheng Zhi knocked back to Fan Zhiyi, and then pulled to the right to catch the ball. But Shunsuke Nakamura and Jun Inamoto arrived in an instant and came from both sides. The two were really desperate and did not intend to give Zheng Zhi any time to get the ball.

Zheng Zhi was even less worried about this. He still calmly played a wall-to-slamming cooperation with Sun Jihai, and then handed the ball to Li Ming. Sun Jihai behind him continued to rush forward, which was equivalent to two players on the right at the same time.

Zheng Zhi ran to the middle road, but Shunsuke Nakamura and Junichi Inamoto did not let him go. Although the left road had fallen, they still followed Zheng Zhi. Obviously, they were going to fight Zheng Zhi to the death today!

Sun Jihai and Li Ming scored two and one pass, and then immediately made a cross of forty-five degrees! The ball quickly fell into the front point of the Japanese team's penalty area. Su Maozhen soared into the air, stretched out his heroic posture, pressed on Naoki Matsuda's head and swung hard!

Da ~

The ball came out of the lintel and almost flew into the goal.

Huh ~

Trussie, who was beside the Japanese coach's seat, breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that his whole chest was about to explode. Fortunately, he did not have a heart attack, otherwise he would have been scared to death.

The three defenders are too dangerous to deal with the two forwards of the Chinese team, but they have to do so. He would rather make the midfield stronger than let too many people on the defense line. He is not a conservative person. He advocates offense and he hopes to win with the initiative.

He never thought that the gap between Japan and the Chinese team was very big. On the contrary, Japan's overall combat capability was actually a little stronger than that of China, and even had a better attitude than that of the Chinese team.

However, he underestimated the Chinese team. When it was the Japanese team's turn to attack, the Chinese team's defense was no worse than that of Japan. Moreover, the physical confrontation was stronger. When the Japanese team wanted to launch an attack from the right, Shao Jiayi made a tactical foul in the frontcourt, directly extinguishing their idea of ​​making a fast attack. Shao Jiayi's movements were not big, but his physical fitness was good. Ming Bohao's body could not form a confrontation at all.

After suffering losses, Ming Bohao faced Shao Jiayi again and passed the ball out early. The Japanese team raised the rhythm again, and the continuous transmission and cooperation were smooth, but Li Yin and Zheng Zhi did a good job of large-scale coverage of running, which also forced them to get the ball as soon as possible. In the end, the ball was passed to Gaoyuan Zhitai, but Fan Zhiyi rushed out of the horizontal stab, and his legs were too long and he easily cut off the ball.

However, there were still two players staring around Zheng Zhi. Fan Zhi simply took the ball with a big foot and directly sent the ball to Su Maozhen's head in the front. Su Maozhen carried Morioka Matsumonchi steadily, and pointed his head lightly, directly pointing the ball to Yang Chen in front!

Yang Chen rushed up, which scared Matsuda Naoki just grabbed Yang Chen's arm and refused to let Yang Chen go.

Beep,

Fouled.

Naoki Matsuda received a yellow card.

Zheng Zhi drove the free kick directly into the Japanese team's penalty area. Another defender, Nian Hong, dared not be careless and directly pushed the ball out of the baseline.

Corner kick.

As soon as Shao Jia took the corner kick, the landing point was not very good. Gao Yuan Zhitai, who was returning to defense, pushed it out, but the ball was not far away. Li Yin got the ball and immediately divided the ball on the right side. Li Ming took the ball again!

I looked for Su Maozhen again. However, I was still pushed out. Although the Japanese players did not have a high-altitude advantage, they still took advantage of the crowd.

This time it was Sun Jihai's turn to get the ball. He took a step and then took the ball again!

It was bombing at high altitude again, and it was so blatantly played like this.

This time the ball pass was a bit deep, too close to goalkeeper Kawaguchi, but Kawaguchi was not very tall and did not dare to catch the ball with both hands, but hit the ball outside the penalty area with a single punch.

Zheng Zhi turned around on the penalty area line and raised his right foot. The ball went around his head and fell back into the penalty area. Shunsuke Nakamura beside him wanted to squeeze in front of him, but found that Zheng Zhi had gently cut the outside of his foot. The ball was hidden at Sun Jihai's feet who were inserted forward. Sun Jihai directly won the ball and shot angrily!

boom--

The half-high ball hit Junichi Inamoto's body and bounced out of the bottom line.

It's a corner kick again.

"Ouch,"

"The Japanese team is so tough that they can't even make it like this."

Li Ming took a corner kick on the right, and another arc ball fell into the Japanese goal. Kawaguchi was active and swung his fist again, hitting the ball out of the penalty area again. Wu Chengying took the ball with his right foot and immediately followed the ball with his left foot!

The ball flew out of the bottom line.

This crazy attack finally came to an end.

I thought the panic scene would be gone for the time being, but one minute later, the Chinese team regained the ball again. Li Weifeng dribbled the ball from the backcourt. Seeing that there was no one around, he simply continued to dribble the ball and rushed to the front of the Japanese team's penalty area.

Yoho?

Still no one came up to block him in time, Li Weifeng simply raised his foot and slammed the ball. This feeling of being ignored was really unhappy.

The shot with the right foot on the instep is extremely domineering.

Bang!

It still shot on the Japanese player and bounced up and flew into the air.

The bullet bounced towards Zheng Zhi. This time, only Shunsuke Nakamura was next to Zheng Zhi. After all, there was no room, so Junichi Inamoto ran to stare at the others.

This also gave Zheng Zhi space to move. He did not turn around, but carried it hard in an instant, almost carrying Shunsuke Nakamura. After carrying a trace of moving space, Zheng Zhi suddenly jumped backwards on the spot! He didn't jump high, just to get up.

"ah!"

"Barb!"

With a ticking sound, Zheng Zhi hooked in the air and pulled his right instep on the ball.

Too sudden.

Everyone thought Zheng Zhi would stop the ball and turn around, but he ended up shooting directly?

The ball flew into the upper right corner of the goal, and Kawaguchi Naoha had no reaction at all.

"The ball has entered!"

"The ball has entered!"

"The ball has entered!"

"Zheng Zhi!"

"Zheng Zhi!!!"

"Shi Potian's shocking barb shot!"

"What a god who came down to earth!"

“1:0!”
