Exclusive report: The Chinese team won the first match of the third Phoenix Asian Cup, but lost the second battle (picture) (Haohao Report) At 2:45 pm on April 16, the third Phoenix Asia Cup kicked off at PHOENIX SPORTS CENTER. The first opponent of the Chinese team is the Vietnamese team (VN Phoenix). As soon as the game started, the two sides started a fierce battle in the midfield. With their skilled footwork and superior awareness, the Chinese team gradually took the initiative on the court. In the 12th and 25th minutes of the game, the Chinese team found excellent opportunities to score, but failed to score due to poor luck. On the contrary, the Vietnamese team, with its youth, good health and fast speed, took the lead in the chaos 30 minutes into the game. During the halftime break, captain and former international coach Wu Qunli patiently pointed out the shortcomings of the first half and arrangements for the second half, and the players all benefited a lot. Coach Wu's command was indeed effective, and the game in the second half was completely one-sided. The boys of the Chinese team swept away the impatience in the first half, controlled the ball more, passed the ball more, used the width of the court to mobilize the opponent, and quickly suppressed the opponent in their own half. About 10 minutes into the second half, the Chinese team made a pass, and No. 19 Xu Wei shook his head to equalize the score. The most exciting moment of the game occurred in the 20th minute. Director Wu stole the ball in the midfield and passed a player with a fake move. Three players from the opponent team saw this and rushed over. Director Wu very calmly distributed the ball to the left side. No. 9 Zhang Chao stepped in from behind and shot the ball straight into the opponent's net. 2:1! ! ! The Chinese team reversed course! ! ! In the following games, the players worked together to maintain the lead until the end. As the referee blew the whistle, the Chinese team defeated the opponent 2:1 and won the first game. According to the latest news from this website, the Chinese team lost 1:2 to the Thai Myanmar team (Galaxy) in the second game at 6:15 PM that day. No. 6 Wu Yi scored the only goal for the team. Although we lost the second game, since it was a group round robin, we still had a chance to advance to the finals. Team China, come on! The members of the Chinese team come from various industries in Phoenix. Among them are engineers working in high-tech companies, hairdressers, consultants, teachers from ASU, and of course some of the former national football players who dominated the field. Everyone comes together because of their love for football and sports. Every Saturday afternoon, they will play football at a fixed venue.
