After the game, Dong Fangzhuo was stopped by a group of Chinese journalists. The reporter from Southern Metropolis Daily was the first to jump out to congratulate Dong Fangzhuo.

"Congratulations on your final pass in the exam with the attention of the people of the whole country. Although a hat trick does not mean that you are excellent, it is not bad. At least you are firmly ranked first in the scorer list."

Dong Fangzhuo rolled his eyes and quipped:

"Wow, together, you still want me to perform a senior high school celebration. Do you mean you want to score more than four goals?"

"This is what the people of the whole country expect from you. Everyone thinks that you have not tried your best in the competition, but in fact you can still achieve better results?"

“…”

"What else can I say?"

※※※※

At the press conference, Clauchen was happy and in a good mood. This was his second time leading the team to the Asian Cup final. However, the question from a reporter from the Sports Weekly said that it was the third time.

"This is the third time that the Chinese team has reached the Asian Cup finals in a row. What do you think?"

Well!

The scene was shocked, and everyone was thinking.

Yes, it seems to be the third time!

I really can't imagine...

Clauchen was naturally stunned, because he only led the team in twice, this third time...

Then Dong Fangzhuo reminded next to him: "The Asian Cup held in the local area in 2004 lost to Japan."

Clauchen said "Oh" and finally understood.

He was the champion in 2007 and led the team to the finals again in 2011.

So, the Chinese team reached the finals for three consecutive years, which also created a very awesome history.

There have been teams in Asia that have achieved the finals for three consecutive years. The Iranian team has achieved the championship in the 4th, 5th and 6th sessions. Israel has achieved the championship in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd sessions, but they only won the runner-up in the first two sessions and won the championship in the third session.

Of course, the most awesome is Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia reached the finals for four consecutive times in 8, 9, 10 and 11, and then won three championships.

Japan lost to China in the 12, 13 and 14th session. If they beat South Korea later, it would be four consecutive sessions.

This is the third time for the Chinese team...

"According to the finals for three consecutive times is not our ultimate goal, winning the championship is. Whether the opponent is South Korea or Japan, our goal remains unchanged." Clauchen is very confident. Now, his attention has long been no longer focused on Asia.

"Then do you think it's better to fight South Korea or Japan?"

"There is no difference between these two teams. They are both top teams in Asia and are not easy to deal with. Although the style of play is different, we are not afraid. I never worry about who the opponent is. In fact, they should be afraid of them."

"You have hidden Dong Fangzhuo in the group stage in this Asian Cup. What is your biggest gain?"

"Didn't you see it? It's obvious that Wu Sanshi has already scored 3 goals, he is only 20 years old. Gao Lin has also scored 3 goals. These are excellent strikers of the Chinese team, not just that. Most of the time, we play games in the absence of Dong, and we play better than each other, which shows that our overall situation has been improving."

"We perfectly completed a team upgrade."

Two hours later, the results of another semi-final match of the Asian Cup also came out. South Korea and Japan scored 2:2 in regular time. Both sides still did not rewrite the score when they entered overtime. In the end, South Korea won Japan with a total score of 5:2 in the penalty shootout.

The news reached Dong Fangzhuo, and Dong Fangzhuo was surprised.

Isn't it Japan? It's actually South Korea!

He remembered that in the past, South Korea lost to Japan in the penalty shootout, and Japan won, but now it is actually the opposite?

Then the finals will be China vs South Korea.

There is nothing to make a fuss about the national team level, but Chinese fans are very excited and the Internet is very lively.

“It’s good to play Korean sticks, it’s good.”

"The last time the Korean club reached the Asian Cup final was the Qatar Asian Cup in 1988? Is it because I have been waiting for 23 years, hahahaha, I seem to have seen Korean fans crying in pain, and I like to see them like this!"

"There is no doubt that you will kill the Korean stick and defend the Asian Cup."

"South Korea is also very strong now, but compared with us, there is still a big gap. As long as the Chinese team plays steadily, it will be no problem to win South Korea."

"As long as Dong Fangzhuo stands in front, our attack is like springing bamboo shoots after a rain, and the goddess scatters flowers..."

※※※※

However, South Korea does not think so. This nation will never think of itself as a weaker side.

Tai Chi Tiger is looking forward to reaching the top again in 51 years. South Korea won the championship in both Asian Cups in 1956 and 1960, but these two Asian Cups were champions determined by the number of points in the group single round-robin competition. Tai Chi Tiger reached the final three times, but eventually ranked second. This time, South Korea will definitely strive to break the curse of not being able to stand on the highest podium in 51 years.

South Korea's Chosun Ilbo published an article at the first time: "As long as we are watching Dong Fangzhuo, we have great hope of winning the game. In the first five games, we were only scored two goals by the Japanese team in the fifth game, and we did not lose one goal in the first four games. We are not Qatar, Kuwait and Uzbekistan and others. We cannot be afraid of seeing the Chinese team's strong offense. In fact, even in recent years, the South Korean team has only lost by one goal. We are the team that is least afraid of China."

Dongya Ilbo also said: "Looking at the lineup of the two teams, we are actually just weak in the center position. We are not worse than the Chinese in other positions. Football is the overall, and our overall is better. What's more, our physical fitness is much better than them. If we don't fall behind in the first 70 minutes, then we will definitely have great hope of defeating the Chinese team in the next 20 minutes."

Former international Hong Mingpu believes: "The hottest will die. The whole world believes that the Chinese team will win the Asian Cup, but the results will always be unexpected. If you don't believe it, look at every World Cup. When will the biggest hottest win the World Cup?"

South Korean new ball player Ju Zizhe also stood up and expressed his opinion: "We are not afraid of the Chinese team. I believe we can definitely defeat the Chinese team and win the Asian Cup championship!"

"I'm looking forward to this game, we're going to take revenge. We've lost to them in the past few years, but we can definitely win this final."

Korean fans also gave advice to the South Korean team.

"Dou Fangzhuo was ruined, and then the game turned into a 55th."

"Let him get out of the game in three minutes!"

"Put most of the defensive firepower on Dong Fangzhuo..."

"The Chinese team likes assists on both sides, so we play on the side."

Some fans sneered.

"What about our tradition? Why do we have to worry about the Chinese team?"

"When did we, the Korean nation, have been afraid of the Chinese team? Think about our 2002 World Cup! We did Spain and Italy, and almost even Germany was killed. What is the Chinese team? We can't be afraid of them just because they have a little success."

"In terms of historical confrontation records, we are still far ahead of them!"

Don’t know where they got their confidence?

Japan's Asahi Shimbun is not optimistic about the South Korean team. They pointed out bluntly: "From the overall situation, the Chinese team has an overall strength advantage over the South Korean team, and its tactical realm is better than the opponent, and the strength of the three lines and the personal ability of the players are slightly better than that of South Korea. This is clearly reflected in the group stage and knockout matches: the Chinese team has the advantage in every game and frequently creates threats. If Dong Fangzhuo had not been on the way, they could play a terrifying big score in the group stage. In the final, similar scenes may repeat, and they will continue their offensive football and the concept of beautiful football, striving to defeat their opponents with beautiful three-dimensional cooperation; while the more practical Korean team may seek opportunities for a quick counterattack on the basis of steady stability. In general, this is a game that was opened in July 3."

After losing to the Chinese team, the Australians had the last say.

Captain Neil said: "The Chinese team is too terrible, we can't defend it at all. We were in a passive state throughout the game. Their wave after wave of attack made us suffocate. I think the Korean team cannot withstand the Chinese team's attack."

Cahill was even more blunt: "The Chinese team is one level higher than the Korean team. They can control the game with ease and score easily. I don't think the Korean team can win the game, and this possibility is almost zero. If I were asked to buy the lottery, I would choose the Chinese team without hesitation."

McKay, who was sent off the court, said: "Although I was sent off with a red card, we had already lost a big score before the game. We were unable to take over the game at all. We just watched the Chinese team passively attack us. Believe me, I have never played such a bad game. The Chinese team has completely changed compared to before. They have become stronger and stronger, and we are powerless. The Chinese team won the championship? There is no suspense at all."

West Asia's Al Jazeera also said as she looks forward to the upcoming final: "This is perhaps the least suspenseless game in the history of the Asian Cup."

Europe also made a look at the upcoming Asian Cup final.

"As": China vs. South Korea, this is an uneven game, because China Dong, who has two five goals in two games, is God. As the most powerful star on the planet, he will not let the Asian Cup champion slip through his fingers.

"Photo": Chinese Dong will once again win the Asian Cup. No one in Asia can stop him from winning the championship. Ironically, he actually took away the top scorer in two games, but I don't know what his final goal data will be?
Chapter completed!
