Preface
In the early hours of this morning, the Asian Cup opened the final of eight into four, but the result was really unexpected, the "Asian fish belly" actually won the "winning general", and the popular players also completely missed the Olympic Games, which is really shocking!
The Asian Cup broke out in a shocking upset
In the regular season, Indonesian naturalized player Struk scored first, and the South Korean team also "counted in mind" and stubbornly equalized the score, and then the two sides were also very stalemate.
However, a mistake by South Korea allowed Struk to seize the hole and score again, and at the end of the first half, it was Indonesia who led 2-1.
In the midst of adversity, the South Korean team naturally struggled to catch up, and after two hours of time, the two sides drew 2-2, and the game entered a penalty shootout, in the first five rounds, both sides scored for the first time, and from the sixth round, the two began to miss inconsistently.
At the end of the 12 rounds, the South Korean team lost to Indonesia with an aggregate score of 12-13, one point, and stopped in the quarterfinals!
As we all know, this World Cup is related to the quota of the Paris Olympics, if you enter the top three, you can go straight to the Olympics, that is, Indonesia, which is now in the semi-finals, will be stable if it wins one more game to enter the Olympics.
You must know that since the Seoul Olympics in the last century, the South Korean team has participated in the men's football competition in 9 consecutive Olympic Games, has not missed a single time in decades, and won a bronze medal in the London Olympics.
Although the South Korean team is not the strongest team this time, it is still the favorite to win the championship in everyone's opinion, while Indonesia is participating for the first time, and in the latest international rankings, it has risen 8 places to 134th in the world and 23rd in Asia.
However, South Korea is ranked 23rd in the world and 3rd in Asia, with such a big gap, Indonesia actually won the battle! While Indonesia is lagging behind in the world ranking, many people are not optimistic, and some netizens even call it "Asian fish belly".
With this battle, Indonesia has completely turned over, after all, at the moment, the vast majority of fans should have not seen the Olympics without the South Korean men's football team, right?
Two months ago, when South Korea was upset and kicked out by Jordan, South Korea made a big report on the matter, saying that the South Korean team was talented, but it lost its way in the game and was really "out of the game".
After the media released it, their domestic netizens also caused a huge controversy, saying that the South Korean team lost to Jordan at the gate of the final, which really made them ashamed to raise their heads, and some said that this defeat will forever become the black history of Korean football.
At that time, they were so indignant, so this time, it should make all Korean netizens break their defenses even more, right? But judging from Indonesia's performance in the past few months, it is really remarkable, and Indonesian football is really on the road.
Indonesian football is on the road
Before the start of this year's Asian Cup, no one would have thought that Indonesia would be able to beat Vietnam, let alone advance to the round of 16, and no one would have thought that he would be able to beat South Korea in the top four!
At that time, before advancing to the round of 16, in fact, the Indonesian players did not have much confidence, and later "confided the truth" in the interview, saying that they had actually packed their bags, but they did not expect to enter the knockout round of the Asian Cup.
This year is destined to be a record for Indonesia, who have made history of their own. In the "group of death" such as Iraq, Japan, and Vietnam, the record is really good.
Subverted everyone's inherent impression of the Indonesian team, for which many people also made a detailed analysis of it, and summarized it, the main reason is 3 reasons.
It's nothing more than players and coaches, and the number of naturalized players is as high as eight, and they are all very young and in their youth, and if you count according to the average age, the whole team is only 22.4 years old.
And there is also coach Shin Tae-ryong, who "tailors" the most reasonable tactics according to their style of play, and judging from the results, it proves that his approach is really very effective.
And Indonesia's naturalized players are not just young, almost half of them are from the Eredivisie academy, and the two most famous of them are former England U-series internationals and the other is the core of the Premier League Wolves U21.
In terms of team composition, it is really a big change, but Coach Shen Tailong is really amazing, just one year in office, he can integrate the players well into a whole and show his personal ability to the maximum.
Indonesia has played against a number of strong teams in this tournament, which has also made up for their lack of experience in international competitions to a certain extent, and the victory after victory has also made them more confident, and the team will definitely integrate better. Facts have proved that there are not many opponents left for the national football team to really play.
How should the national football team feel?
As of 20133, China and Indonesia men's football teams have played each other 13 times in history, Indonesia has 1 win, 2 draws and 10 losses, and the only time to win is back in the 50s of the last century.
But the current Indonesia is no longer the Indonesia it once was. As far as this World Cup is concerned, if the Indonesian team uses its own strength to show everyone what it means to be vibrant, then our national football team will undoubtedly prove what a "dead veteran" is.
What made an official media feel even more "ironic" was that they went to the scene for an interview and met two Chinese fans who came to watch the game, and the clothes of the two of them also attracted the attention of reporters.
One jersey is Wu Lei's, the other is Zheng Zhi, one of them has now become the assistant coach of the national football team, the players of the national football team, as the people who played the game, the fame in the hearts of the fans is not as big as the assistant coach, is it really not worth reflecting on?
In the first two days, the Chinese Football Association also determined that the national team will all use foreign coaches, and the wind of "Westernization Sports" has been re-blown, but it must be said that the original intention of using foreign coaches to come to China is good, and the coaching experience is also rich, if it does not meet the actual situation of the national football team, it will be in vain.
But just a few days ago, the national football team unexpectedly lost to South Korea, basically in a state of "waiting for death", if there is no miracle, the national football team will basically miss this year's Olympic Games.
epilogue
In the latest world rankings released by FIFA, the Chinese team dropped 9 places compared with before, falling to 88th place, which is a new low in nearly eight years.
If the current situation continues, then there are really not many opponents left for the national football team.
