As the bell rang at 11 o'clock on the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Asian Cup final ushered in the opening, which also marked the end of the fierce competition in this Asian Cup.
At 23 o'clock on February 10, the Asian Cup final was officially launched. Qatar and Jordan had a fierce duel, and the referee was Manin. Under the enforcement of three penalties awarded by Manin, the Qatar team defeated Jordan 3-1 and successfully won the Asian Cup.
With the end of the final, the rankings of the teams in this Asian Cup have also been revealed. A number of previously underdogs have made their mark in the tournament, with Jordan coming out second in Asia, Iran in third and Uzbekistan fifth.
The highly-watched South Korean and Japanese teams finished fourth and seventh respectively. This was despite the fact that South Korea and Japan failed to meet in the final, much to the deplorment of many fans. South Korea deliberately avoided a showdown with Japan in the group stage, but lost the opportunity and courage to compete for the title. As for the Chinese national team, it ranked eighteenth in this Asian Cup and suffered a heavy defeat.
According to the official rules of the AFC, this Asian Cup has set up a prize pool of 14.8 million US dollars. The winning team will receive $5 million, the runners-up will receive $3 million, and the top four teams will split $1 million equally.
Participating teams will be rewarded with additional bonuses, regardless of their performance. The national football team did not achieve the expected results in the group stage and returned to the country early to rest, but they will still get this prize money. The distribution of this prize money is expected to be decided by the Football Association. As an ordinary fan, I hope the national football team will not become too complacent because of these bonuses.
Finally, if the national football team does not work hard to strengthen, they are likely to become the bottom. I hope they can muster up the courage to win glory for the country like the table tennis team and not disappoint fans across the country. We cannot sit idly by, we must pick ourselves up.
