Jordan 2 0 big upset! Reaching the Asian Cup final for the first time, can the national football team learn from it?
In this match, Jordan made a huge splash with a 2-0 win over South Korea, which finished 87th and won against South Korea, which finished 23rd in East Asia. In the World Cup, South Korea have never lost a game in the group stage, and in the qualifiers, they defeated Saudi Arabia and Australia, many people thought they would not make it to the final, but the Jordan team assured the world in their own words that this game is like a game with no end, and the final outcome cannot be said until the end of the game. Jordan set the best record ever for the team (the first to reach the final of the Asian Cup), but also set a new Asian record. So, how did Jordan make it to the semi-finals and then knock South Korea out? Why?
Jordan swept Malaysia 4-0 in the first game, showing a strong offensive ability, although the control rate was not high, but more shots on target than Malaysia, Jordan drew 2-2 with South Korea, showing that they are not afraid of South Korea's strength, and also let them regain their confidence. In the second match, Jordan held South Korea to a 2-2 draw, showing that they were not afraid of the Korean coach and regained their confidence, and the success rate of controlling the game dropped again. Jordan lost 1-0 to Bahrain in the third leg of the group stage, but in that game, they had the advantage of possession and the number of goals scored, or they were unlucky to be at a disadvantage throughout the game.
Jordan beat Iraq 3-2 in the first knockout round, scoring more goals and showing their attacking bravery; Against Iraq, Jordan did not control the ball, but attacked more frequently than Iraq, which meant they had a strong counter-attacking ability in the second round; In the second round of the knockout round, Jordan won 1-0 against Tajikistan, they were inferior to their opponents in terms of ball control and number of goals, but they still managed to win; Jordan didn't dominate in possession of the ball in this morning's semi-final, but they got nine goals.
Judging from the statistics, Jordan is good at defending, their defense is very effective, but if you want to seize opportunities on the offensive end, you must have enough speed and technique, such as the tower of the number 10, the interior of the player of the number 11, all have such talent, therefore, Jordan can beat South Korea, it is not luck, but they have enough power and know how to use their own tactics.
Will they defeat South Korea like Jordan? I guess that's impossible. First of all, we lack such good shooters; Secondly, we have a slower pace of attack, less teamwork, lack of confidence, fear of mistakes, fear of responsibility, lack of momentum, and don't want to move forward, which is why we can't learn from Jordan. Jordan's victory over South Korea will be a great Asian battle, but it is unlikely that any team will be able to pull off such a miracle again.
