Thread Content
On the evening of December 12th, Beijing time, the Chinese national men’s football team lost 1-2 to the host country, Japan, in their second match of the East Asian Cup. In the first half, the two sides remained evenly matched, with the Chinese team failing to create any threatening attacks. After the halftime change, Lippi made substitutions that proved effective, increasing the threat from the Chinese team’s attacks; however, Yu Dabao missed a good opportunity for a one-on-one situation up close ； In the 84th minute, Yū Kobayashi broke the deadlock for Japan ； In the 88th minute, Chang Ziyuan increased the score with a stunning overhead kick ； In the extra time of the match, Zhang Wenzhao earned a penalty, which Yu Dabao converted.
Just like Naoki Aikawa’s shot, it went into China’s goal; the situation was fairly decent.
It’s not surprising that the Chinese team lost a game.
