Hashazayed stadium.
The Asian Cup semi-final between China and Japan was held in this stadium.
A large number of Chinese and Japanese fans have gathered in the stands before the game. Japanese fans wear blue shirts, while Chinese fans wear red shirts, which is clear-cut and the cheering momentum is matched by each other.
Now the public opinion environment is better than in the past few years. In football matches, there is no need to resist Japan as before, and the once national hatred has been extended to the sports level.
The Chinese team has been weak in football for many years, while the Japanese team's football level has improved by leaps and bounds in the past two decades. Perhaps the gap has become larger and larger, which has led to the fact that the external public opinion has no expectations for the Chinese team. Now the progress of the Chinese team in Asia has made people pay more attention to the Chinese team's own level and strength, and have experienced the Russian World Cup, Everyone's self-confidence has also improved somewhat.
You don't need to take who you beat as a milestone node to prove what level your level has risen to.
Perhaps it is a legendary coach like situ Yunbing who teaches the Chinese team, so that the fans also move their eyes upward. There is no need to deliberately enlarge their opponents and focus on themselves is the way of the strong!
When situ Yunbing spoke to the team in the dressing room before the game, he also specially stressed his sense of normality. In this game, he asked the team to give full play to its own strength and not be influenced by other emotions.
When he appeared on the sidelines of hashazayed stadium, some neutral fans were cheering for him!
As the biggest coach of this Asian Cup, situ Yunbing may lead the team to the top four. For him, it is only a reflection of the passing line. If he can lead the Chinese team to the finals, it will be slightly higher than expected.
However, for neutral fans, China may be the second team to play exceptionally well so far in this Asian Cup. The first is Qatar. Qatar has not only maintained a complete victory, but also sealed its opponents every game!
As for other teams, especially strong teams, even if they win all the way, either because the opponent's strength is not strong, or the win is not so strong!
Situ Yunbing nodded and greeted Japanese team coach mori on the sidelines. After all, they had fought before. They met in the same competition this time and were not strangers to each other.
When the starting players of the two teams entered the field, the atmosphere of hashazayed stadium reached a climax.
The players of the Chinese team and the Japanese team hold their heads high and stand tall. When they line up on the court for pre kick-off awareness, anyone can see that they are full of war!
”CCTV, CCTV, dear viewers, good evening!
Welcome to the 2019 UAE Asian Cup semi-final. China and Japan will compete for a final ticket today. In another semi-final, Qatar will compete for another final ticket with the host UAE. It is surprising that Qatar beat South Korea in the top eight.
What's more surprising is that the United Arab Emirates killed Australia and became the biggest dark horse of this Asian Cup!
Among the top four teams in this Asian Cup, except Japan, which has won the Asian Cup four times, the other three teams have not won the Asian Cup!
Therefore, there is no doubt that this Asian Cup has been popular one after another!
In the friendly match four months ago, the Chinese team once beat the Japanese team on the road. Today, the meeting of the two teams again will surely spark passion!
Let's take a look at the starting lineup of the two teams.
The Chinese team started 433 today

Goalkeeper: Kota Xiuyi.
Guards: Sakai Hongshu, Fuan Jianyang, Yoshida mayalso, Changyou Youdu.
Midfield: Kato, Haraguchi, shizaki Yue.

Today, both teams took out their strongest lineup to face the game. We hope both teams can play well. Situ Yunbing used to coach in European football and often said before the key game that he hoped his opponent would perform well, because he always longed for a peak competition and a really wonderful game. I hope today's game is like this! ”
When the referee whistled the whistle at the beginning of the game, the Japanese team that took the lead in kicking off immediately launched a fast break to the Chinese team!
Mori Baoyi has formulated a start-up strategy for the team. He doesn't want to give the Chinese team time to enter the game state. He expects to frighten the Chinese team from the beginning and make the Chinese team unable to find the rhythm!
Yuankou Yuanqi slanted the ball to the right in the middle of the front court. When Nanye Tuoshi met Li Xuepeng, he stabbed the ball to the front right of the restricted area. Da Jiyong also took the initiative to run to support. Before Zhang Zhibang's defense was in place, he kicked the ball and sent it to the bottom line of the road outside the restricted area.
Li Xuepeng entered the restricted area for defense. Nanye Tuoshi regained control of the ball in front of the bottom line of the sideline. Da forced Yong to insert in the middle, and the Tang'an law at the far end is also cutting in quickly!
The defense line of the Chinese team naturally retreated to the restricted area, and Zhang Zhibang ran to mark Yuankou's vitality.
