Looking at the chaotic drama of this Asian Cup, it is really laughable. In the last round of the competition, all kinds of strange phenomena emerged one after another. Take the matchup between Saudi Arabia and Thailand as an example, it turned out to be a 0-0 draw, and it looked like the two sides were playing hide and seek, and I don't know if they were showing strategy or simply staged a farce.
Let's talk about the South Korean team first, they are against Malaysia, which is a weak team in Southeast Asia. South Korea should have won comfortably, but they started messing around early in the opening period, sending a penalty to give Malaysia a 2-1 lead. Fortunately, South Korea pulled two goals back, but were tied by Malaysia in the last minute to end the game 3-3. The faces of the South Korean players and the reluctant smile of coach Klinsmann all expressed their feelings.
The Jordanian team in Group E is also hard to say. Against Bahrain, they sent out substitutes and deliberately played slowly in the game, eventually losing 1-0, but their expressions looked like they had won.
Naturally, fans are dissatisfied with the performance of these teams, and the comments on the Internet are overwhelming. Some people angrily said that it was not like a football game at all, but more like acting. There are also sarcastic suggestions for the award of the "Best Performance Award". Interestingly, there are also fans who joke about the national football team, saying that they at least lost really.
To be honest, this Asian Cup is really dramatic. Watching the performance of these teams, like playing football or playing with the eyes of the heart, all kinds of strategies and schemes are more exciting than TV dramas.
The match between Saudi Arabia and Thailand in Group F is also a mystery. The 90-minute draw sounded like a strong conversation, but in reality both teams were rotating their main players and neither seemed to want to win. This has a huge impact on the fate of the Saudi team, and they have to face South Korea.
Jordan in Group E, the match against Bahrain also looked strange. They came off the bench and played slowly, losing 1-0, but looking at the way they looked, it seemed like they had achieved their goal.
The South Korean team is really ridiculous. Against Malaysia, it was expected to be an easy victory. But they made random passes in the backfield and gave away penalties, and they were overtaken at one point. In the end, although they recovered the score, the 3-3 result obviously did not satisfy them.
The performances of these teams have disappointed fans. There was an uproar in the comments online, with some angrily criticizing it as an insult to football, while others sarcastically said that this was not the Asian Cup, but the "Drama Cup". However, some fans laughed that the national football team at least lost cleanly.
Judging from these games, football is not only a contest of skills, but also a game of psychology and strategy. The performances of these teams not only raise questions about the fairness of the game, but also make people think deeply about the spirit of football.
These "dramatic" performances have become a sight that is hard to ignore in the Asian Cup. But whether the scenery is good or not depends on the wisdom of the people.
Look at the performance of these teams, they should be fighting the field, but they are playing scheming and strategizing on the field. Some would rather lose than meet a strong opponent, and some seem to be playing. The competition on the football field is not only a contest of technology and physical strength, but also a contest of psychology and strategy.
Let's take a look at the South Korean game. In the face of Malaysia, they actually destroyed the Great Wall, gave the opponent a penalty, and even took the lead. But the boos from the fans seemed to wake them up, and the game ended 3-3 after a counterattack. The results don't seem to be satisfying to them.
The Jordanian team in Group E, facing Bahrain, has a big change in strategy. Kick slowly, enjoy the loss, 0-1 at the end, but the look on the player's face is like saying, "We've reached our goal." ”
The matchup between the Saudi team and the Thai team is also strange. Avoid winning, test each other, and end up 0-0. This will have a significant impact on the subsequent matches of both teams.
