The moment Dong Fangzhuo scored, all the red people in the stands stood up, raised their arms and shouted.
Fans have been waiting for this moment for too long!
Dong Fangzhuo was offside when he received the ball before. Now Wang Xiaodong is standing on the goal line and passing the ball back to him. Is he still offside?
Of course not offside!
If it is not offside, the goal will be valid.
You can't let him blow it off!
The three referees looked at each other, and the Indonesian referee blew his whistle and placed his finger in the circle.
After seeing the referee's gesture, the fans cheered again.
The fans had been frightened by the referee's "arbitrary penalty". It was not until the referee confirmed the goal that they finally released all the excitement in their hearts and shouted loudly.
The belated celebration did not fade at all, but became more precious because of the difficulty of the game.
Fans further away in the stands shook their bodies and waved red flags in their hands.
The fans who were closer leaned out of the railing, stretched out their hands, and shook hands with the players who crossed the plastic track and came to the bottom of the stands.
"Dong Fangzhuo, Dong Fangzhuo, Dong Fangzhuo, Dong Fangzhuo!!!"
"Wang Xiaodong, Wang Xiaodong, Wang Xiaodong, winter..."
“Woooooooo~~~”
Many fans burst into tears. They had been waiting for this moment for too long.
"Dad, look, look, I've taken a picture of Wang Xiaodong, I've taken a picture of Wang Xiaodong!" Ma Fanshu pulled his father and excitedly handed him the digital camera in his hand.
Father Ma was not idle either. He held a home DV and focused the camera on the faces of Wang Xiaodong and Dong Fangzhuo, and then filmed his daughter who was cheering beside them.
"Fanshu, on your wedding day, dad will play this video to ensure that the day will be twice as happy..."
The big screen at the scene was still replaying Wang Xiaodong's assist just now. Counting this goal, Dong Fangzhuo's number of goals also came to 5, which was the same as Wang Xiaodong in the scorer list.
But that's not important. What's important is that in a few minutes, the Chinese team will win its first Asian Cup championship!
It took a long time for the fans in the stands to completely vent their anger. They only had one thought in their hearts at this moment: It was so exciting!
It turns out that it is so enjoyable to play with the opponent on the goal line. No wonder some players are willing to risk being punished to do so!
It turns out that what makes us angry is not the disrespect of our opponents, but our inability to "disrespect" our opponents!
The moment Wang Xiaodong stopped the ball on the opponent's goal line, many fans suddenly felt that their waists had stiffened. It didn't even matter whether the ball went in or not.
What's more, Wang Xiaodong not only helped the Chinese team score a goal at this moment, but also provided an assist in front of the whole world.
That's right, this is a complete and real assist!
Facing an empty goal and passing the ball back on the goal line, not even Golden Wolf Guti could do such a move.
From this moment on, whether it was the Chinese team's series of rare ground passes and receptions in the past ten years, Dong Fangzhuo's Oscar acting skills from the offside position, or Wang Xiaodong's rainbow dribble past the opponent's goalkeeper. ..Every detail of this goal has become a talking point for this generation of fans, and will still be talked about by fans in the decades to come.
Wang Xiaodong's assist completely shattered South Korea's sense of honor.
In the face of absolute strength, anger and irritability can no longer play any role in strengthening oneself.
Playing with Li Yunzai twice in a row and being so relaxed and carefree on the goal line are not something that a player of this level in the Asian Cup can do.
This time Wang Xiaodong fully demonstrated in front of his opponents what an international superstar is and what a team leader is.
The defeated South Korean players just wanted to end the game quickly at this moment, and go back to their homes and find their mothers.
In the last few minutes, the exhausted and mentally frustrated South Korean players not only failed to make a decent attack, but made many mistakes and were seized by the Chinese team several times.
In the 96th minute of stoppage time, goalkeeper Li Yun went to the Chinese team's penalty area to fight for a corner kick.
However, the level of tacit understanding between the South Korean players was obviously not as good as half a beat. The player who took the corner kick did not even realize that his goalkeeper was desperately running through the midfield.
At this moment, he just wanted to end the game and get off work. Just like that, before Li Yun could even run into the Chinese team's penalty area, the corner kick had already been taken.
Seeing the ball pushed out of the penalty area by Du Wei, Li Yun, who had just run through the center circle, was stunned and hurriedly turned around and ran back.
But it was too late.
"Captain, here!"
Before he could break out of the penalty area, Wang Xiaodong shouted at Zheng Zhi who had just scored the ball.
Zheng Zhi had quick eyes and quick feet and pushed the ball directly towards Wang Xiaodong's running route.
The next second, Chinese team No. 10 rushed over.
He kicked the ball in front of his own penalty area and blasted the ball directly into the sky.
“Beep, beep!!!!”
The "irresponsible" Indonesian referee saw the ball flying and blew his whistle without thinking, declaring the game over.
But the nervous fans still turned a deaf ear and stared directly at the ball flying away in the air. Watching it soar into the sky and streak across the horizon. Catch up with Li Yunzai and fly to the gate of South Korea.
Huh~~~
Amid the excited roars of the fans, he crashed into the South Korean net.
Li Yunzai, who had just chased back into the penalty area, threw himself forward and fell to the ground, gasping for breath.
He didn't know whether the goal was a goal, but even if it wasn't a goal, so what?
It doesn’t represent the result at all!
"This goal...went in?" He Wei was also stunned.
"Wang Xiaodong's kick is obviously a goal, it should be counted as a goal!"
"The referee of this game was really irresponsible. He didn't look at the path of the ball and ended the game directly."
"We should appeal to the organizing committee about this ball..."
No one complained.
The moment the Indonesian referee blew the whistle, the eager staff on the sidelines rushed into the field immediately and hugged every player still on the field.
Even Sun Jihai jumped into the field on crutches.
What is the difference between 1-0 and 2-0?
we won!
Winning is the most important thing!
At this moment, I don’t know who took the lead, but the singing of the "Battle Hymn of the Chinese People’s Volunteers" rang out from the stands.
“Crossing the Yalu River with great vigor and high spirits!
To protect peace and the motherland is to protect our hometown..."
In the stands, some older fans couldn't help but shed tears of excitement when they heard this song. Even some old people held their chests high and sang along with others.
On the jubilant stage, countless fans waved bright red flags in their hands. Hundreds of red flags fluttered in the wind, like giant dragons soaring in the sea of people.
"Three years of preparation for war are stained with dust, and once the ambition is achieved, the scales are shed by the water. Today, the battle in South Korea is over, and the roar of thousands of miles touches the dragon's gate!!!"
The live camera slowly swept across the stands, and He Wei, like countless fans, had tears in the corners of his eyes.
Some fans with big mood swings had already cried all over their faces. The tears stained the paint on their faces, making them look like big painted faces.
But no one thought it was funny. Everyone knew that these were tears of pride and happiness.
"Champions, we are champions!" He Wei grabbed the microphone and roared hoarsely, "The Chinese team tenaciously defeated their opponents and won the championship of the 14th Asian Cup!"
"Before this, countless predecessors have worked tirelessly for decades. After decades of preparation and accumulation, we finally succeeded!"
"Long live China! Long live the Chinese team! Long live the Chinese players! Long live the Chinese coaching staff and staff!!!"
"Let us once again congratulate all the national team members who have worked hard and contributed. It is your hard work that has allowed us to stand on the top of Asia. You are the pride of all China!"
"Look, it's Sun Jihai who appears in the camera."
"He came off injured in the previous game, but no one will forget his contribution."
"This time, he did not leave a lonely figure like he did in the 2002 World Cup. Now, the bright smile of the Chinese sun will remain in everyone's memory!"
"Dong Fangzhuo, this is Dong Fangzhuo, congratulations to Dong Fangzhuo!"
"He scored the only goal of the game. He ended the nightmare of 'Korean fear'. It was also he who helped the Chinese team reach the top of Asia!"
"Wang Xiaodong, it's Wang Xiaodong who appears in the camera now!"
"It can be said that he is the biggest contributor to the Chinese team's victory in this Asian Cup!"
“Without him, we wouldn’t have gotten this far!”
"It was his appearance that allowed all the team members to regain their confidence; it was also his efforts that allowed the team to remain positive even when it was in trouble, and ultimately defeated a strong enemy."
"We want to thank him, this overseas player who has never played a league game at home."
"Let us say here, thank you for your hard work!"
"Finally, we would also like to thank Zhu Guanghu and all members of the coaching staff."
"Without your hard work and silent dedication behind you, our international players would not be able to maintain their best condition before taking the field."
"You also share in the honor brought by this Asian Cup championship trophy!"
"Finally, we would also like to thank the 30,000 fans who came to cheer for the team and the hundreds of thousands of fans who sat in front of the TV to watch this game. You are the team's most solid backing and the most difficult person in Chinese football. The part that needs to be given up!”
"Without your support, we wouldn't be able to win this championship!"
"Finally, let us wish the Chinese team once again!"
"Let us shout together: The Chinese team is the champion!!!"
Amid the roaring cheers, Wang Xiaodong and Dong Fangzhuo were lifted up by their teammates and thrown high into the air.
The photo of the two laughing in the air will always be remembered, and this game will also be written in the history of Chinese football.
"Old Dong, how do you feel?"
"It's so beautiful!" Dong Fangzhuo sighed sincerely, "Thank you, Xiaodong."
Li Tie, Sun Jihai and other veterans hugged each other and wiped each other's tears.
They were once one of the strongest main players of the Chinese team, but as time goes by, their years are gone.
After playing football for decades, and then letting a junior lead the team to win the championship, these old players feel sad every time they think about it.
"Just get used to it, get used to it!" Sun Jihai patted Li Tie on the shoulder, "The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and the new generation replaces the old. Don't talk about others, we can retire with peace of mind in the future!"
"Come on, I can still play for a few more years!" Li Tie's eyes lit up, "At least next year's Olympics..."
"Olympics? Are you still thinking about the Olympics? Hahahaha~~~" Sun Jihai laughed, "The Olympics is a matter for young people. Can you still not believe in today's young people?"
"I believe it, I believe it, of course I believe it!" Li Tie shook his head, "But thinking about it, I think there is still a chance!"
"There's a chance, what chance?"
"For example, South Africa in 2010? Sun, you don't have that idea?"
"Ten years?" Sun Jihai leaned on a crutch and raised his head to look at the blurry horizon, "It's a bit far away..."
"Is it far?" Li Tie blinked, "The world preliminaries are about to start, and we have to continue playing!"
"That's right, that's right, keep playing!" Sun Jihai also regained his composure, "Of course I will keep playing after I recover from my injury! Even if I am eliminated because of my age, I will at least put these young people first Send it to South Africa!"
While players and fans were interacting, AFC staff quickly prepared for the awards ceremony.
Wang Xiaodong undoubtedly won the best of the game. Not only that, he was also the MVP of the entire Asian Cup.
In the assists list, Wang Xiaodong won the first place with 6 assists; in the goals list, Wang Xiaodong and Dong Fangzhuo shared the Golden Boot.
Seeing Wang Xiaodong and Dong Fangzhuo hugging each other on stage to accept the award, Ma Fanshu pouted and said dissatisfied: "Humph, it's all the fault of the referee! If the last ball had been scored, Wang Xiaodong would have won the Asian Cup Golden Boot!"
"Don't! This is good." Dad Ma touched his daughter's forehead, "Football is not a sport for one person. Only when all the players become stronger will our team be stronger."
"The significance of Wang Xiaodong's return this time is not only to help us win the Asian Cup championship, but also to help everyone build confidence, including us fans!"
"Humph, really?" Ma Fanshu pouted, "You are the only one who has no confidence in Wang Xiaodong, but I have always believed in Xiaodong!"
After each champion hung a medal, the national anthem was played directly.
"Rise up, you who do not want to be slaves..."
Uh-huh!
All the Chinese fans in the stands stood up immediately, solemnly, and sang loudly.
Some foreign friends were gathered in the center, looking at the Chinese hearts gathered around them.
At this moment, they finally understood why China could always stand in the east of the world and remain unyielding.
Those South Korean players with silver medals hanging around their necks were embarrassed. They had already thought about how to retaliate, how to smear the situation in the media, and how to appeal to the AFC.
But at this moment, such a uniform picture penetrated their hearts like a sharp sword, becoming a lifelong nightmare for many South Korean players.
After this game, Li Yunzai and several other independent players directly announced their retirement from the national team; within two years, four South Korean players who participated in this game announced their direct retirement.
"...Brave the enemy's fire and move forward!"
"Brave the enemy's fire and move forward!"
“Forward, forward, forward!!!”
