After two days of competition, the quarterfinals of the Asian Cup have all come to an end. Of the four matches, two were watched with East Asian teams.
In the first game, South Korea vs. Australia, at the end of the first half, Australia led by one goal, in the second half, the South Korean team made a force, Tottenham striker Son Heung-min was put down after breaking into the penalty area like a lonely hero, and the referee decisively awarded a penalty, and the penalty was hit by Hwang Hee-chan, who also plays in the Premier League, and the South Korean team equalized. Later, the game went into extra time, in which South Korea won a well-placed free-kick in front, and Asian brother Son Heung-min hit the penalty to help South Korea turn the game around and advance to the semi-finals. The angle of the unsolvable, the power of the unsolvable is the best interpretation of this goal. After the game, he was also voted Man of the Match.
The other quarter-final between Iran and Japan will be played. It is worth mentioning that the referee of the game is Ma Ning from China, speaking of him, I believe that many Taishan fans are no strangers, and the Taishan team has suffered a lot from him.
After the start of the game, the Japanese team entered the game significantly faster, cooperated more tacitly, had a higher possession rate, and passed more forward in a polygonal shape, showing their advantages to the fullest, and the lead of one goal is also the best praise for the team's efforts. On the other hand, the Iranian team played cringely and not very smoothly, although there were a lot of shots on goal, there were almost no threatening shots on target.
In the second half, Iran obviously strengthened the offensive, they used their physical advantages, increased the long pass oblique to 45 degrees, and the long pass in the backfield looked for the striker, they played big and played long, but the player's foot technique was not rough, one or two points can be controlled, the more they played, the more confident they became, forming a siege of the Japanese team's goal. Although the Japanese team replaced the three-goal king and Minamino Takumi, the effect was not good, Minamino Takumi almost didn't receive any balls, the three-goal king only broke through two or three times, and the other players also performed mediocre. Judging from the overall expression of the players, it is also relatively flat, and there is no determination to win. In the final stages of stoppage time, Japan made a mistake in the penalty area, giving Iran a chance to kill the game, and the light of Asia was eclipsed.
In the remaining two games, Jordan and Qatar both advanced, so far, the top four of the Asian Cup have all been produced, and only the South Korean team is left in the East Asian team. The semi-finals will face off against both sides: Jordan vs. South Korea and Iran vs. Qatar. Whoever wins the championship, anything is possible.
In addition, in the AFC Champions League in mid-February, the Taishan team will face Kawasaki Frontale at home. Let's cheer for the AFC Champions League's only seedling team in the Chinese Super League, after all, Taishan has been recruited, and the midfield has been strengthened to a certain extent, and the Japanese team has a fight.
