With the two Asian Cup semi-finals coming to an end, the final of this Asian Cup has finally become a matchup in West Asia: Jordan will face defending champions Qatar in the final. There will be a number of highlights in this final, first of all, Qatar as the host and defending champion, they will attack the second Asian Cup title; Second, Jordan has never advanced to the final before, this is their chance to hit the first title, if they win, they will become the 10th Asian Cup champion, the game will start at 23 o'clock Beijing time on February 10, when CCTV5 will be broadcast on time. Before the start of the Asian Cup, I believe that not many people can guess the matchup of the finals, after all, Japan, ranked No. 1 in Asia, and South Korea, ranked No. 3 in Asia, have recalled the strongest players from the top five European leagues and sent the strongest team lineup, especially for Japan, which even defeated Germany and Spain in the group stage of the last World Cup, and the warm-up matches continued to win, and they are also considered the biggest favorites in this Asian Cup. But the Japanese did not even advance to the top 4, lost to Iran in the top 8, South Korea and Iran also stopped in the top 4, and the five strong teams of South Korea, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Iran and Australia in the Asian Cup have been eliminated one after another, and the final battle between Jordan and Qatar has also become a relatively unpopular final match. Jordan is ranked 87th in the world, lower than the 79th of the Chinese team, worth only 13.65 million euros, slightly higher than the Chinese team, before the game they were divided in Group E, the opponents are South Korea, Bahrain and Malaysia, in the group stage they actually did not play perfectly, and have reservations, although they defeated Malaysia, drew South Korea, but in the last game they lost to Bahrain, 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss accumulated 4 points, just to become the best group 3 qualified. But after the group qualified, good luck began to favor them, the round of 16 against Iraq, Iraq had players out of the field due to red cards, Jordan who played one more person scored 2 goals in a row to reverse, the top 8 against Tajikistan, the opponent oolong gave Jordan a goal, so that Jordan won by 1 goal to advance, and the round of 4 against South Korea, which played 2 overtime games in a row, the opponent's physical fitness was seriously insufficient, and there were many mistakes, so that Jordan scored 2 counterattack goals in a row, and won 2-0 to advance to the finals. Although Qatar is the defending champion, their world ranking is actually not high, only 58, worth 15.9 million euros, which is only slightly higher than the Jordan team, and Qatar's qualification process seems to have been favored by Lady Luck. Their group stage opponents China, Tajikistan and Lebanon 3 teams are not strong, Qatar easily won 3 consecutive wins to advance, in the round of 16 they met a weak team Palestine, 2-1 successfully defeated the opponent to advance, the round of 8 met Uzbekistan, played to the penalty shootout, the opponent's psychological quality is not high, the key moment players missed penalties in a row, so that Qatar won easily in the penalty shootout, the opponent of the top 4 Iran is very strong, but the Iranians made a mistake in the last moment, Qatar's Ali was successful in the anti-offside position, Scored the decisive goal and won 3-2 to advance. On paper, these two teams are not actually the strongest teams in this Asian Cup, good luck is also a manifestation of strength, and the dramatic game actually adds more highlights to the game. Although Qatar is the host in the final, but at the same time Jordan is also a West Asian team, there will be a lot of Jordanian fans in the stadium, which will weaken some of Qatar's host advantages, both teams in the semi-finals are directly in the regular time to solve the battle, the physical impact of both sides is about the same, there is no serious injury impact, it can be said that both teams can go all out. Stylistically, Qatar are more aggressive, while Jordan are more defensive and counter-attacking, and it is clear that this is also a contradictory matchup, and if the two teams continue to play and style of play in the semi-finals, there will be no fewer goals in the final, and the game will end in regulation time. On the whole, the combination of Afif, Ali and Haydos on the Qatari attack line is stronger and has a home advantage, while the opponent Jordan has reached the final for the first time, and psychological tension is inevitable, so Qatar should be more optimistic. Let's wait and see! The final is about to start, and this Asian football feast is sure to set off a storm. And as the game approaches, fans' expectations for the final are getting higher and higher. The allure of the Asian Cup lies in its fierce competition and unexpected results, and this final will become a testament to history. Although there is a gap in the strength of the two sides, on the football field, the victory or defeat is often self-evident, who can laugh so that let's wait and see, and witness this feast of Asian football together!
