Today we're going to talk about the hot topics of the Asian Cup, but don't worry, it's not the lethargic kind of statistical report, it's a football feast full of fun and insight. First of all, let's talk about Arif Ayman, a 21-year-old young player from Malaysia. And guess what? He was on fire in World Cup qualifying, leading his side to a 4-3 win over Kyrgyzstan and showing his dominance on the pitch. Imagine the tension on the pitch, the cheers of the fans, and Ayman's hat-trick of assists. It's really exciting!
Having said that, let's take a look at Japan's Kenei Kubo, who has become the attacking heart of La Liga Real Sociedad at the age of 22. While he didn't get enough attention when he was at Real Madrid, that didn't stop him from shining at Real Sociedad. The guy has scored six goals this season, and watching his quick pace and precise shooting on the pitch is like dancing gracefully. Kubo's goal is to help Japan build on their runners-up finish in the 2019 Asian Cup and challenge for the title.
Don't worry, the story isn't over yet. We also have Lee Gang-in from South Korea, also a 22-year-old guy. He now plays for Paris Saint-Germain and is fast, technically good, and is simply a lightning bolt on the pitch. That goal in the French Super Cup, oops, it was so handsome, even the manager was fascinated by him. His performances for the national team have also been impressive, scoring four goals and providing three assists in his last four games. In such a state, I wonder if the South Korean team can win the Asian Cup?
Let's talk about Abbotsk-Fedullaev in Uzbekistan, a 20-year-old who plays for CSKA Moscow. Did you know that in the U20 Asian Cup, he was really unbeatable, helping the team win the championship and winning the MVP himself? Finally, of course, we must not forget Iraq's Ali Jassim, who is now serving in the Baghdad Air Force at the age of 19. His performances at the Uzbekistan Under-20 Asian Cup were equally impressive, helping Iraq Under-20s qualify for the Under-20 World Cup.
Having said all this, let's finally make a controversial summary: Japan and South Korea in East Asia have players on the list, but the Chinese team has no one on the list. Does this hint at a shift in the power of East Asian football, or the rise of football in Southeast and Central Asia?
