For the first 20 minutes, the Chinese team was constantly fighting against the Japanese team. It was very lively with both sides going back and forth.
But when the Japanese team scored in the 28th minute of the game, the situation completely changed.
In a counterattack opportunity in the frontcourt, the Japanese team got a free kick opportunity. Their midfielder Keisuke Honda took a wonderful free kick and shot directly, blasting away the goal guarded by Zeng Cheng.
0 to 1, the Chinese team fell behind by one goal...
This free kick was just an accident, so Chinese players and fans thought so.
But ten minutes later, when Keisuke Honda scored the second goal, the Chinese fans in front of the TV couldn't believe it.
An ordinary frontcourt attack, the Japanese team pressed forward across the board. Shinji Okazaki's return pass reached the top of the penalty area. Keisuke Honda fired a powerful shot and the ball hit the upper right corner of the goal!
0 to 2, the Chinese team fell behind by two goals...
Until the referee blew the whistle for the first half, the Chinese players had not yet gotten over the pain of falling behind.
The second half was still the same. Not long after the start, the Japanese team played a wonderful short pass in the frontcourt. They learned from Samba football, and their passing and control cooperation this time was also top-notch.
In the penalty area, rising star Shinji Kagawa, who had just transferred from Dortmund to Manchester United, moved forward deftly and easily shot into the net in the penalty area.
0 to 3, the Chinese team continued to lose goals...
At this time, Gao Bo off the court couldn't sit still. He replaced multiple offensive players in succession and continued to strengthen the offense!
But soon, they conceded their fourth goal.
This time it was the Japanese team's frontcourt cooperation. In the end, Shinji Kagawa made a precise through ball, and J-League forward Maeda Ryoichi pushed the ball into the net.
0 to 4, the Chinese team lost completely...
At this time, not only the Chinese generals, but also the Chinese fans in the stands could see that the overall cooperation of the Chinese team was far inferior to that of the Japanese team.
The Japanese team's passing and control is very good. Not to mention overseas players, even J-League players can perfectly integrate into the team.
On the other hand, the Huaguo team, although their lineup and players are more famous, most of the time they work independently and the degree of cooperation with each other is not high. In addition to the midfielders Chen Tao and Wang Chuhe, as well as the forwards Yu Hai and Dong Fangzhuo, these people have some good cooperation. The remaining players such as Wu Lei and Hao Junmin often make mistakes in passing and running.
After taking a four-goal lead, the Japanese team's pace slowed down a bit. The team also replaced three young people to train the team. Anyway, the game was stable.
It is precisely because of this that the Japanese team did not score again, and the Chinese team did not continue to be embarrassed.
In the 89th minute of the game, Yu Dabao received a pass from Wang Chuhe and scored a face-saving goal.
Yu Dabao, who scored the only goal, stood in the penalty area, looking at the ball still spinning in the goal, his face ashen.
The referee didn't even allow injury time. When the 90 minutes were up, he blew the whistle.
In this game, the Chinese team lost 1 to 4. Two games in the top ten ended with one draw and one loss. They were at the bottom of the group and their hope of qualifying was slim...
After this game, the Chinese team encountered huge criticism after returning to China.
Not only the Chinese players, but also the Chinese coach Gao Bo has also become the target of criticism.
Countless domestic media outlets are almost sarcastic and satirical.
"You can lead such a powerful Chinese team and still play like this? Gao Bo is the sinner of Chinese football!"
"The captain of Arsenal, the core of Schalke 04, the famous Cottbus star, the twin stars of Manchester United, these false names promoted by European football are all for nothing! They can't help the national team score goals and win. What is the use?"
The second round of the top ten competition ended on June 8, and the Chinese team has been under criticism from the media.
Originally, the criticism should have gradually subsided, but since Yunsheng led the Italian team to win the European Cup on July 1, countless Chinese media have stood up again, then praised Yunsheng's opportunities, and cursed the Chinese team and Gao Bo!
"He is also the coach of China, look at Yun Sheng! He has won countless championships in just five years since his debut! Now he has won glory and trophies at the national team level!"
"We are all playing in Europe, so why can Italian players go all the way to the final and defeat Spain, while the Chinese team is eliminated by the Japanese team? Most of the Italian team's players are playing in Serie A, and there are not many big-name stars; And in the main lineup of Hua Kingdom, the core members of the wealthy families alone account for half of the people!"
"Our team is not good because the head coach is incompetent and the players don't work hard! If we replace eleven death row prisoners and release them when we win, we will definitely win the Japanese team! We petition to let Yunsheng come back to coach the Chinese team ! Let players who work harder enter the national team!"
Originally Yun Sheng did not intend to get involved in the quarrel, but countless media used him as a gun to attack Gao Bo and the Chinese players, which made Yun Sheng angry!
In the summer, in an exclusive interview with China Sports 5, Yun Sheng expressed his inner thoughts.
"The fans and the media can criticize the Chinese team for their poor performance, and there is no problem. But as a media person, it is extremely ridiculous to say something like '11 death row prisoners' only for fans!"
"This statement completely denies the technical nature of football! Is it possible that whoever has the desire to survive can win? If you ask a death row prisoner to make a photolithography machine, can he make it? Why don't you say this? , because you know that photolithography machines have technical content! But what about football? Do you think that an individual can play it, and that an individual can be a coach? "
"No matter what, the current national team is full of the best Chinese players, and Gao Bo is also the most experienced and most suitable coach for the Chinese team. I can't say such unprofessional words as 'you do what you do,' but you guys Think about it, who else can be better than these people now? The more sluggish Chinese football is, the more support it needs from the media and fans!"
It was originally just a personal interview with Yunsheng by Huaguo Sports 5, but Yunsheng "included personal information" and said what he had always wanted to say.
Why is this country with only 6,000 registered players stronger than other countries in terms of football strength?
If the Chinese team really becomes a football powerhouse, this would be the most unscientific, the most unreasonable, and the most unfair to a country with a large football population!
Although Yunsheng has a system, and although he strives to promote players to study abroad, with his own strength, he is still like an ant shaking a tree, and there is still a long way to go to realize the renaissance of Chinese football.
Under the heavy pressure of Chinese football, Yun Sheng called Gao Bo and wanted to give him some personal suggestions.
But Yun Sheng didn't expect that after listening to Yun Sheng's suggestions, Gao Bo talked about the unknown things about the team from the bottom of his heart. These things made Yun Sheng extremely sad...
