Finally, after the selection process, the winner of the title of the best player in Asia is: Don Yasuji
He is the one who led the team to keep making miracles, he is the one who turned the plot in the comic into reality, two key goals, two world championships, and more importantly, he has the next World Cup, and even the next World Cup to keep making miracles.
Since the beginning of the World Cup, many classic images have been created, especially some surprising mistakes. Let's choose the most surprising moments together:
Most Surprising Moment #1: Lautaro gave up a goal in 3
Argentina had chances to kill off the game early in their 2-1 elimination of Australia, but substitute Lautaro missed chances to score just three, but the Argentine striker spat Messi's cake three times in a row, which led to Australia almost equalizing in the final moments. Such a surprising performance also earned Lautaro cyber-violence from fans after the game, initially Argentina's main striker, but sitting on the bench after two games, which does not seem to be without reason.
Most Surprising Moment #2: Lukaku goes 4 past the goal without entering it
Lautaro's club teammate Romelu Lukaku has been a sleeper compared to his performance. Belgium won their final round match against Croatia to qualify. After a long attack, Belgium replaced Lukaku in the second half. Some people don't strike without a bang. In the 45 minutes of the substitution, Lukaku got four chances to score, all of which he wasted. Such a disastrous performance also brought the fans' vocal criticism of him to its peak. Perhaps his role in Belgium is reduced to pre-match shouting.
Biggest Surprise Moment No. 3: Crowe Lays Down a Win to Reach the Top 8
The absolute superstar of Portugal, Ronaldo has only scored one penalty so far. In four games, he has missed three great chances to score, second only to Lukaku's four. In those four games, whenever Ronaldo was on the pitch, his teammates were racking their brains to help him score, but it was not to be. This style of play has also clearly confused the Portuguese offense. On the contrary, when he was on the bench, Portugal could play a sharp offense.
In the end, the most surprising moment, after the selection, was when Lukaku went 4 past the goal without entering the
With his small flat head, beer belly and empty goal not going into Lukaku, Lukaku managed to turn the focus of the Belgian infighting onto himself, saving his Belgian teammates, and hopefully our little talent will remember where his opponent's goal was next time.
In this World Cup, only two players played for the Chinese Super League (CSL), South Korean midfielder Son Jun Ho and Cameroonian striker Bassogo. Considering that year, the Chinese Super League contributed up to nine World Cup players. Let's reminisce about the killings and see how the Chinese Super League players looked at the World Cup :)
Chinese Super League Flash Moment No. 1: Paulinho's power to beat Serbia
Brazil beat Serbia 2-0 in the final round of the Group E group stage of the 201st FIFA World Cup to finish first in the group. Paulinho (who joined Evergrande on July 9) played for Barcelona before the World Cup and helped Brazil to their first record. Paulinho, a starter for Brazil at the World Cup, played five games for the team, totaling 353 minutes and scoring one goal, which can be considered a top performance by a Chinese Super League player on the World Cup stage.
Chinese super players shining moment two: Augusto World Cup first goal
2018 World Cup, Brazil met Belgium in the quarter-finals, 0-2 behind Brazil in the first half, the second half sent Beijing Guoan foreign aid Augusto, Augusto in the 76th minute header, the last moment had the opportunity to draw the opponent, but did not seize, after the first goal of the World Cup, but also regretted the end of the journey. Compared to Paulinho, Augusto is a Brazilian substitute, but he still scored to make history. I believe Beijing Guoan fans should miss Augusto the most when he was still with the team.
Chinese Super League players flash moment three: Kim Young-kwon kills to kick Germany home
In the final round of the Battle of Honor, South Korea faced the bombardment of Germany, and Evergrande center back Kim Young Kwon led a solid defense to hold the score. I thought the game would end 0-0. In extra time, Kim Young-Gwon put the ball in from a messy corner kick to help Korea take the lead. Then Son Heung-Jin went on a long attack into an empty net, and not only did he score, but Germany kicked the game right back out. Kim Young-Gwon's goal was historically significant.
Finally, after the selection, the most shining moment of the Chinese Super League players in the World Cup is: Jin Yingquan kicked Germany home
This goal should have been the most crucial and meaningful goal scored by a Chinese Super League player in the World Cup. Who would have thought that four years later, South Korea turned back Portugal 2-1, but he had already left the Chinese Super League. As the most successful Korean foreigner in the history of the Chinese Super League, Evergrande fans will never forget him.
After looking at the three selections, let's see how fans rated the Asian teams at this year's World Cup.
Commenting on Japan's performance, some fans wrote: "This time, Japan's Round of 16 result has the highest gold content in years, and the Blue Samurai's dream is just unfinished business."
"It's a joke to ask Japan to make another documentary on penalty kicks, the truth is that they'll really take stock of what went wrong for a long time and, next time, rewrite history!"
"Also in the round of 16, compared to the last Japan team, this tournament completed a big change in the Japanese team, a lot of young people came up to the top, which is the most scary, the talent will never see depletion."
Some fans said, "Praise South Korea's fighting spirit, but in physical confrontation, game experience, passing cutting cooperation and individual technology is really completely behind, the Asian powerhouse team in the World Cup performance is good, but want to go further, and the world's strongest team to wrestle with the world is still a big gap, can only say that the upper limit is here."
"Korea played really well, got out of the group, lost to Brazil, what more do they want? To eliminate Brazil?"
"Korea's resilience reminds me of Japan's turnaround, the pride of Asia, and we should really learn from the strengths of others."
Commenting on the performance of Asian teams, some fans said, "In general, Asia is not as good as African teams, not to mention some teams from Europe and South America. However, Japan and South Korea have the strength to compete with the world's top teams. Although they still lose more than they win, they are not completely behind on the field. Even though they played full defense and counterattacked very sharply, all the other teams except Japan and South Korea, including Australia, were much worse."
"When the draw came out, I thought Asia was likely to be destroyed. Two days ago, Qatar and Iran were hanged. I thought we would collectively lose badly this time. Unexpectedly, we showed that we can fight against Europe and South America! Three teams advanced, with some regret for Iran and Saudi Arabia, but they can also leave standing. Although Qatar's record is dismal, it's a milestone to play in the World Cup for the first time and score a goal."
"In fact, this World Cup adopts a five-man quota system, which is undoubtedly beneficial to Asian teams to avoid horse racing, and the rational use of the rules has become an enabler against the strongest teams."
Finally, many fans mocked the national football team with the achievements of Japan and South Korea. One fan wrote: "Japan 50-50, Australia 37-30, South Korea 19-30, and the national soccer team opened the door."
"I think people are just trying to learn with their teachers. The Chinese team is like a student with a low eye. They search online every day to find out which teacher is good and then argue with each other. It's not like a teacher who has flaws and ends up learning nothing."
"While Japan and South Korea are fighting for their dreams on the World Cup stage, Chinese soccer is still trying to fight corruption. While Japanese and South Korean fans don't want to imagine what they can achieve in the next World Cup, Chinese soccer fans are still worried about whether they can break into the World Cup after expansion. This kind of gap can't be caught up in 100 years." (DD)
