According to a report by South Korea's "Seoul Sports News" this morning, they carried the headline: "The Chinese media actually have the face to analyze the weaknesses of the Japanese and South Korean teams?" and put this report on the front page! It is extremely embarrassing!
The front page of the sports newspaper in Seoul, South Korea
According to the report, a Chinese sports website actually analyzed "why the Japanese team failed to enter the semi-finals". According to the sports website, "Japan has shown strong competition ability by defeating Germany and Turkey by big scores before the Asian Cup, and has won 10 consecutive victories. They were also seen as favourites to win the Asian Cup, but they didn't actually go far. In the warm-ups, Japan were able to pass the ball intensively and play the ground play that they excelled at, but it didn't work against physical, repetitive opponents, especially in the losses to Iraq and Iran, where they barely played any passing advantage. The Iranian team is an upgraded version of the Iraqi team. ”
Son Heung-min celebrates his goal
The sports site also analyzed the weaknesses of South Korea and Japan, saying: "The weakness of the Japanese team is that they don't have a strong striker who can finish the game. South Korea, on the other hand, feels like they are too dependent on luck. In the quarterfinals against Australia, he was always at a disadvantage, both in terms of content and score, and was more than 90 minutes behind. It wasn't until the last minute of the game that he relied on a penalty kick won by Son Heung-min to barely enter extra time, and scored a goal in extra time to win the game. ”

The sports website also analyzed: "Strikers, including Hwang Hee-chan, who can change the direction of the game with their individual abilities are really important. Japan, on the other hand, did not have a player who could speak in a difficult situation on the field, so they needed more dribbling and passing, but they were never able to break through the strong defensive capabilities of Iraq and Iran, and in the end they could only afford to lose. ”
China
In addition, the Seoul Sports News also mentioned that a Chinese sports website also joked: "Japan's matches against Iran and South Korea's matches against Australia are comparable to the round of 16 of the World Cup." The participating teams in this Asian Cup, such as Jordan, Lebanon, Tajikistan, and Hong Kong, China, are all considered weak teams, but they have performed well, and the strength of the team has improved significantly, except for the Chinese team. ”

Finally, the sports site also spoke highly of the decision of the referee of the match between Japan and Iran, Ma Ning. They said: "It is worth noting that Manin's decision was accurate and he controlled the behaviour of the players on both sides and the situation on the pitch very well. After the game, neither the losing Japanese team nor the winning Iranian team raised any objections, which shows that the level of the Chinese referees is very high. ”
Dai Weijun was kicked in the face by a Lebanese player
Dai Weijun was almost disfigured
Referee Ko Jong-jin did not think there was a red card
In addition, Seoul Sports News also said that the Chinese team did not score 1 point and did not score 1 goal in the group stage of the Asian Cup, creating the worst result, but the Chinese media and fans not only did not reflect, but looked for the reason for the elimination from the outside. They pointed the finger at the South Korean referee Gao Hengjin, who officiated the match between China and Lebanon, and they believed that the Chinese player Dai Weijun was kicked in the face by the opposing player, but the referee Gao Hengjin did not show a red card, so the Chinese team failed to win.
The national football team is ranked 79th
Seoul Sports News also said that the Chinese team's goal is to reach the World Cup, but they have no idea that China, which is ranked 79th in FIFA, can only rank 11th in Asia. With the current strength of the Chinese team, even if the number of teams that qualify for the World Cup finals increases to 48, the possibility of the Chinese team entering the World Cup is almost zero.
Finally, the Seoul Sports Daily made a sharp comment: The Chinese media did not reflect on the reasons for the Chinese team's regression, but instead analyzed the performance of the South Korean team and the Japanese team? The Chinese media should be soberly aware that the South Korean team's ability to reach the semi-finals relied on its strength and the hard work of the players, not the so-called luck! The Chinese media should analyze why they failed to qualify from the group! This is the most important thing they should do at present, and the World Cup qualifiers will be held soon, if the Chinese team still performs in the Asian Cup! Then it is estimated that they will not even be able to enter the top 18 in Asia, let alone enter the World Cup!
