The new East Asian Cup Final Four continued in Japan, and in a match that ended tonight, the Chinese men's football team played well, drawing 0-0 with the host Japan men's football team, setting a 12-year record. This is after the Chinese women's football team drew with the South Korean women's football team 24 hours ago, and another national team surprised the fans and shined in the East Asian Cup.
In recent years, the performance of men's football has become worse and worse, the strength has gradually become the third-rate level in Asia, the women's football team ranks between the first and second-rate in Asia, but the direction is going to the opposite trend, this year's men's football team did not qualify for the World Cup finals, and the women's football team regained the Asian Cup championship is the best example.
Coming to the East Asian Cup, the men's and women's teams play together, which is easy to be compared with each other by fans. In the history of the East Asian Cup, the performance of the Chinese men's football team is much better than that of the Chinese women's football team, the men's football team has won the championship twice, and the women's football team has never been crowned the champion, which is a fact that cannot be changed.
The Chinese women's football team has won the Asian Cup and has been pinned high hopes on by the fans. After winning 2-0 in the first round, facing the Korean women's football team in the second round, finally conceding a goal first, relying on the spirit of not giving up and not accepting defeat in the second half, and finally drawing 1-1 with the opponent, not losing to the Korean women's football team for 7 consecutive years, the girls are good, and once again become the bitter lord of the Korean women's football team.
After the Chinese men's football team lost 0-3 to the South Korean men's football team in the first round, fans were even more depressed about the prospects of the match against the Japanese men's football team, believing that it was likely to continue to lose miserably.
Unexpectedly, tonight's Chinese men's football team brought unexpected surprises to the fans, the passive situation of the whole field shot 2-18, and finally 0-0 clean sheets to the host, ending the 4 consecutive defeats against the Japanese men's football team, and after 12 years, it was not scored by the Japanese team.
After the game, coach Jankovic said that the young team of the national football team learned a lot of lessons after the game with South Korea, did a good job in organization and defense, and could have won the Japanese team.
Now there is a final round of the East Asian Cup, the Chinese women's football team against the Japanese women's football team, as long as the victory can win the first crown of the East Asian Cup, creating a new history. For the Chinese men's football team, as long as the Men's Football Team against Hong Kong, China does not lose, it can avoid becoming the bottom of the line.
