Thoughts on the game
(1) South Korea was looking forward to Japan being eliminated, so that South Korea had the Olympic record alone, but South Korea, which laughed at China's U23, did not expect to capsize in front of Indonesia...... The record of nine consecutive Olympic Games has been broken, and the 40-year record of consecutive Olympic Games has been ended! This Indonesia has really played something, and he has almost become their fans, and the biggest upset of this year has appeared! Congratulations to Indonesia for securing the qualification for the Paris Olympics in advance, to be precise, it should be called the Dutch three teams, and maybe they can win the Asian Cup...... In the future, our senior team will basically not be the opponent of Indonesia, and it seems that the future plan will be a football trend!
(2) The goalkeeper was defeated in a fiasco against Indonesia! Dramatic penalty kick, did the goalkeeper of the South Korean team be tapped on the right acupuncture point? It was a trouble-free affair, and all 11 penalty kicks were saved in one direction...... The use of psychological warfare in 11 one direction is too unsuccessful, even if you change the direction of the other side for a long time, the body can't react, muscle memory is very scary, so as long as you keep hitting you in the opposite direction, you don't have to be afraid that you will also change directions, and the probability of scoring goals is the largest! Indonesia's 177 goalkeeper is really excellent, the saving consciousness is invincible, he is not tall enough, he guessed more than half of the direction and angle correctly, but he can't reach it...... Indonesia's less than 177 goalkeepers saved the most critical goal, but teammates did not seize the opportunity, in fact, the quality of penalties on both sides is average, which is also related to the decline in physical fitness after 120 minutes, and the speed of the Indonesian goalkeeper to take the penalty can not even be captured by the camera, the South Korean goalkeeper easily has an upper right corner, and the Indonesian goalkeeper directly shoots into the lower left corner, and the goalkeeper can change to play the striker! It is rare to see the penalty shootout penalty in the second round, congratulations to Indonesia, a dark horse this year, I hope to be black to the end, optimistic about Indonesia!

Thoughts on the game
(1) China played Japan with one more player in the first game, and played very well in the first half...... In the second half, he didn't even attack, as if playing one more person to draw Japan would be a victory...... Cheng Yaodong, look at it, if you play one more person, you should play like this! Although Japan didn't win in 90 minutes, even if Japan is the top team in Asia and the national football team is third-rate, at least we should learn it! Whether we win in 90 minutes or not is not the key, the key is that the team plays in a disorderly manner, and the goalkeeper uses the striker, which is outrageous......
(2) It turns out that Japan's technical advantage is too obvious in Asia, but it is not impossible to play, no matter how good the header and set-piece skills are, it cannot be solved, and the Qatari goalkeeper will have to pay for the failure. The goalkeeper is too angry, the action is too amateurish, obviously rushing to people, bringing unforgivable results to the Qatar team, Qatar is not a goalkeeper without brains, there is still a chance! Qatar team these ten people are completely relying on willpower to play football, all kinds of cramps and injuries still insist on kicking, and the movements have not been deformed to make exciting works, although the defeat is still glorious, worthy of respect! Japan's set-piece defense is not very good, and there are too many wasted opportunities in the front, if it weren't for Qatar to play one less person, it may not be possible to win, but it is true that the club does not let go of people during the non-international break, and the cards that can be played are limited, so why bother to play those 30 minutes again......
(3) It's not just the red card, Qatar's action has been very big and rude; the referee is very broken, there are too many interruptions, and the level is far inferior to Ma Ning and Fu Ming; Japan's corner kicks and free kicks are also very broken, and several players discuss endlessly, as if they are not in the game but in training; Japan's defense, especially the high-ball defense, has big problems in judging the landing point and selecting the position of the card, but Japan's attack is still as stable as ever, and the kick is also good!!
