Jordan team. History! Revenge! Absolutely flat! Reversion!
The Asian Cup 1 4 finals were played in the first two games, and the duel between the two "dark horses", the Jordanian team, which was more colorful, won the game with the opponent's own goal. made history and reached the semi-finals of the Asian Cup for the first time. Tajikistan, on the other hand, made history, reaching the quarterfinals for the first time in the main draw. In this way, it seems that the draw between the national football team and Tajikistan in the group stage is that although we are still honored, the "clown" turned out to be us.
The last time Jordan was close to the semi-finals was in the 04 Asian Cup in China, and the Japanese team insisted until the penalty shootout, before the penalty shootout, the referee agreed with the Japanese team to change the penalty goal, and finally lost at the feet of the Japanese team, stopping in the quarterfinals. The "changing the door" incident has also become a knot in the hearts of the Jordanian team.
One win, one draw and one loss in the group stage of this Asian Cup, entering the round of 16 with the best third place, 1 8 knockout round 3:2 to defeat Iraq, this game and Tajikistan's game, before the game is generally optimistic about Jordan, but Jordan is not easy to win, the game will be played to this point, there is no easy game, who also wants to play. Luck was on Jordan's side, though, with own goals helping a lot, but luck is also part of the game. In the next semi-finals, Jordan met the South Korean team again, the two teams drew in the group stage, and South Korea, which entered the knockout round, has already killed the red eye, and can only hope for Jordan's good luck.
Sun Xingmin. Speaking of South Korea and Australia before the game, talking about Klinsmann, Klinsmann was definitely a superstar level player when he was a player, but since he started coaching for more than 20 years, the coaching career is only between rookies and novices. The German team in the 06 World Cup, being able to enter the semi-finals is entirely due to assistant coach Loew, and then the United States team, or Bayer Leverkusen, Bayern, and Klinsmann are all influencing players with their traditional resumes when they were players, and they have not had a relatively mature set of technical and tactical play to coach the South Korean team until now. It's all about the individual performance of the players on the field.
So now Klinsmann should thank Son Heung-min, Lee Gang-in, Hwang Hee-chan, and Cho Hyun-woo, it was the extraordinary performance of the four that brought South Korea to the semi-finals of this Asian Cup. Don't say that in the group stage, in order to avoid Japan, you can play it, everyone who watched the game understands that the offense counts, and the defense is full of holes and no level. Whenever this happens, Klinsmann always spreads his hands and complains, and he is not as good as the assistant coach Che Dury.
One win and two draws in the group stage, judging from the results, it is deliberately "choosing the opponent", from the game process, there is no technique and tactics at all, Klinsmann relied on the flash of inspiration of players such as Son Xingmin to enter the knockout round, otherwise you can't choose Saudi Arabia in order to avoid Japan, right? Facts have also proved that what has happened to Saudi Arabia? It's not about the individual players!
Sun Xingmin. Back to the game. Both teams can be said to be the favorites for the Asian Cup, the current South Korean team is the number one favorite, Australia's Asian Cup star is dim, only goalkeeper Matthew Ryan and high school defender Suta can take shots, but one thing that is stronger than South Korea is that coach Arnold is familiar with the team and his ability to pinch together. The previous group stage and knockout games were won.
Everyone knows the course of the game, the first half was five or five, and Goodwin's goal was the only highlight. In the second half, the situation changed abruptly, especially after 70 minutes, the South Korean players began to exert their strength, and the "leading brother" was Son Xingmin, as I said before, Son Xingmin had goals and assists in the previous game, but in general, he was still afraid of injury and Tottenham Hotspur could not explain, so he kept playing.
In the 15th Asian Cup in Australia, the South Korean team was reversed by Australia in the final and missed the championship, Son Heung-min scored a goal, but the missed championship also made him remember a grudge. The knot of missing the Asian Cup championship in 64 years, old hatreds and old grudges come together. Sun Xingmin stood up.
In the fourth minute of stoppage time, his breakthrough was kicked by his opponent and he fought for a penalty, and Hwang Hee-chan withstood the pressure and made it in one fell swoop. In extra time, the pressure on Australia increased sharply, Hwang Hee-chan made a free kick on the edge of the penalty area, and Son Heung-min's full moon scimitar hit a fatal blow. Single-handedly turned the game around, and a demoralized Australia then lost a red card. There is no way back.
Just when Son Heung-min completed the stunner, Klinsmann on the bench was relieved and celebrated passionately. Think about it, South Korea is not playing well in this Asian Cup, sitting on the team of Son Heung-min, Lee Gang-in, Kim Min-jae, and Hwang Hee-chan, once they can't get into the semi-finals, this pot Klinsmann must carry it!
Next, in the semi-finals, South Korea has a good chance of meeting Jordan, Klinsmann should be safe for the time being, and once he meets Japan in the final, once he loses, Klinsmann's coaching position can only end here. Think about the scene when the South Korean team collectively apologized after the 18 World Cup!
