Last night, the traditional East Asian top three achieved 2 wins and 1 draw to remain unbeaten, including Japan's 2-0 away win over Australia, and the three won twice; South Korea also won 2-0 at home to Iran; and the national football team drew 1-1 with Saudi Arabia. Last night's round of 12 matches, I believe that Chinese fans are also proud of the performance of these three teams in East Asia. At present, both japan and South Korea have not only qualified ahead of schedule, but also led the two groups in the round of 12.
South Korea and Iran have actually qualified for the World Cup before the match, but as the strongest teams in East Asia and West Asia, both teams certainly want to win the first place in the group. South Korea trailed Iran by two points before the game, which may also be one reason why Iran was more conservative in last night's game. After the opening, although South Korea had the advantage, Iran's defense has always been tenacious. At the critical moment, Asia's brother Son Heung-min stepped forward and blasted a world wave before the end of half-time.
At that time, Son Xingyu was carrying the ball at high speed on the left rib of the frontcourt, and after a slight adjustment, he suddenly shot with his feet and slammed into a world wave! It was with this world wave of Son Heung-min that the South Korean team opened the door to victory. South Korea scored another goal in the second half. But comparatively speaking, it is Sun Xingyu's long-range shot that is the most exciting. Not only full of strength, but also sharp angles, the Iranian goalkeeper can only fall to the ground and sigh.
The game progressed to the 84th minute, when the South Korean team broke the ball at the back and played a wave of rapid counterattack, Son Heung-min wrapped up in the middle of the road, received a cross from his teammate, got up and shot hard, the ball was blocked by the defender, and failed to enter the goal.
This ball did not score, Sun Xingyu was very upset, he fell on his knees and slammed the lawn, lay down and sighed in the sky, sitting up still regretful. You know, at this time, South Korea has a 2-0 lead, but Son Xingyu knows that for a team like Iran, 2-0 at this time does not necessarily seal the victory, only a 3-0 lead, it is considered to be a stable 3 points. Therefore, compared to his world wave breakthrough, the Asian brother's chagrin that he did not have a shot of the two degrees was the most shocking.
There may be fans who think I have a problem with the title of this article, what is East Asian pride? Isn't it just for Japan and South Korea! Indeed, the Chinese team missed the World Cup three rounds in advance, and last night's draw could not soothe the wounded hearts of Chinese fans.
But Chinese players must learn from Sun Xingyu's spirit of "beating the falling water dog" on the football field, enter one and want to score two, 2-0 and 3-0, in the chagrin of not scoring, and strive to refine their shooting skills. Only in this way will it be possible to reach the World Cup at 8.5 places in Asia at the next World Cup.
