2 goals ahead but 3 goals lost, the South Korean media for the South Korean women's football team in the Asian Cup final is doubly disappointed. The South Korean women's soccer team almost made history – if it weren't for the Chinese women's team pulling three goals in a row in the second half, they would have achieved the feat of lifting the Asian Cup championship for the first time in team history.
In the first half, when the 2-0 lead was held, just when people thought that the South Korean women's football team had no suspense in winning the championship, the Chinese women's football team "killed halfway to bite the gold". Zhang Linyan scored two goals in 7 minutes after replacing the game, helping the Chinese women's football team equalize, and finally Xiao Yuyi staged another kill, destroying the dream of the Korean women's football team in one fell swoop.
The victory is significant, and it is the 29th victory of the Chinese women's football team against the South Korean women's football team. Judging from the historical confrontation records of the two teams, in a total of 40 duels between the two sides, the Chinese women's ability to win 29 wins, 7 draws and 4 losses occupies an absolute advantage, and the historical data is absolutely crushed.
Especially the last two important matches! In addition to this Asian Cup, there is also an Asian play-off at the Tokyo Olympic Games. In April last year, in the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games Women's Football Asian Final Qualification Tournament, the Chinese women's football team eliminated the South Korean women's football team by an aggregate score of 4-3 and advanced to the Tokyo Olympic Games with its head held high.
This time, the South Korean women's football team made a comeback after changing the manager, before the final, they only conceded 1 goal in this Asian Cup (more than the Japanese women's football team), which can be described as a copper wall that is difficult to break. But unexpectedly, they were bent on "revenge" and were poured 3 goals as soon as they touched the Chinese women's football team.
Let two be chased three! The team's 2-goal lead was reversed by the opponent, the South Korean women's football team was rarely beaten to cry, and the hero who scored after the game sadly washed his face with tears.
According to the Report of the South Korean media "sportalkorea", The South Korean player Choi Youli, who scored the first goal in this match, burst into tears in an interview after the game.
The Korean media wrote in the title of the article: Choi Youli burst into tears, "A game that needs reflection, I will grow in pain" (above).
Another Korean media outlet ,fourfourtwo, wrote in the headline that Choi Yu-li had tears in her eyes, "The first half was good... Thank you all for your support" (below).
The contrast is great! After breaking the deadlock, Cui Yuli was overjoyed and smiled happily, which was really how happy it was after the game. Because the last laugh is the Chinese women's football team!
The Korean media pointed out in the article that this is a disappointing comeback. All the players couldn't hide the tears they had been holding back. The player who scored the first goal, Cui Youli, also had tears in her eyes.
In the interview, Cui Youli said: "We played well in the first half, but we have to reflect on the goal conceded in the second half. We have to prepare for the next game with this pain. ”
Then she thanked the Korean fans for their support, "In the process of preparing for this competition, from the group stage to the final, I showed a lot of things, I really improved. I wanted to repay the support of the fans with better performances, but now I can't repay you with victories, only thank you for your support. ”
Although they failed to win the championship, the South Korean women's football team also gained - reaching the final round of the 2023 ANZ World Cup, they have reached the World Cup for three consecutive years.
Despite the last-minute kill, the progress of the South Korean women's football team has improved greatly compared with a year ago, which is an opponent that the Chinese women's football team must face up to. If we are 2 goals behind next time, I am afraid that the opponent will not give us another chance to turn the tables.
That's domineering! Cui Youli's crying shows that the Chinese men's football team is ashamed of being able to beat the South Korean players to tears! What the men's football team can't do, the women's football team has done, and the sonorous rose has done it.
