After more than half a month of fierce battles, the Asian Cup has finally come to the quarterfinals, as happens in every cup competition, which includes traditional giants and dark horses.
Although it is a little regrettable that the early fight of strong teams is a little regrettable, the development and growth of Asian football as a whole is gratifying (except for the national football team...... )
Tajikistan and the host Qatar have taken a step forward, making the Chinese team's third group "gold content" sharply increased, is there really hope to reproduce the miracle of the 02 World Cup?
As things stand, both teams do have hope of reaching the semi-finals.
South Korea's carefully "picked" semi-zone is about to face their strongest opponents, Australia, and the two teams have almost the same all-time record in the head-to-head meeting, which will undoubtedly be an encounter.
Whoever wins will have a high probability of entering the final round.
In the two quarter-finals in the second half, the early meeting between Iran and Japan also made many fans lament that the two teams met too early.
But for the Japanese team, which continues to lead the odds to win the championship, the elimination of Iran for two consecutive years can prove its strength.
It's just that in the face of the tough Persian iron cavalry, I don't know what kind of "performance" the Japanese goalkeeper Suzuki Caiyan, who averages one own goal per game, will give?
