When the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game, the Chinese team's substitutes and coaching staff who had been waiting on the sidelines had been rushed into the stadium, running towards the players on the stadium, hugging and celebrating the victory with them.

They were able to enter the semi-finals, which was something they didn't dare to think about before the team went on a battle. Even if they had glory, they had already destroyed their confidence in many previous major competitions and World Cup qualifiers and did not dare to dream.

They feel that being able to qualify in groups is considered completing the task.

Unexpectedly, they could go further and reach the semifinals

The last time the Chinese team reached the semi-finals was the local Asian Cup in 204. In this Chinese team, only Sun Hai participated in that local Asian Cup

It can be said that most people in this team have never tasted what it would be like to reach the semi-finals in the Asian Cup.

After the final whistle sounded, the Jordanian players collapsed on the ground. They worked hard for so long but still couldn't pass the quarterfinals. Although their only two experiences of participating in the competition have qualified from the group stage, they always stopped in the quarterfinals.

The last time they lost to Japan, they might have been a little dissatisfied and thought that the Japanese team was cheating.

And this time they lost to the Chinese team, they couldn't help but feel unwilling to accept it. They had done the best and did well enough that they could stop other Chinese players, including Barcelona striker Gao Lin.

But they can't stop glory.

At the last moment before the game, goalkeeper Shafei never went back, and he was always near the Chinese team's penalty area.

The whistle sounded, and he was like a dead robot. He stopped all his movements and stood there blankly, putting his hands on his hips and lowering his head.

He tried his best in this game, but he still failed to get the result he wanted.

The blow of losing is especially cruel for players who perform well. The better the more cruel, because this is a sharp contrast.

The better the players have a stronger desire for victory, the stronger they also want to win. And those players who perform mediocrely or even badly may not think that losing is a big deal at all, and they will naturally not suffer much if they really lose the ball.

But it is heartbreaking for those who are determined to pursue victory to eventually fall before the victory.

Seven years ago, Shafei was only twenty-two years old, and he was still in college at that time. Now Shafei plays in the UAE League and is already twenty-nine years old.

In the next Asian Cup, he will be 33 years old. It is hard to say whether he will have the physical fitness and condition at that time.

It can be said that this year's Asian Cup is the Asian Cup at the peak of his career.

If no miracles can be created this time, it will be even harder to say for the next Asian Cup...

When I think of this, Shafei feels desperate.

As a goalkeeper in a small country like Jordan, he does not have the opportunity to play football in Europe, so it is already very good to be able to play football in the UAE League.

It is not realistic to participate in the World Cup, and the Asian Cup can be said to be his World Cup.

But this time he met the Chinese team with glory...

Just when he was depressed, he suddenly patted his shoulder with one hand.

He raised his head in surprise and saw Glory's face.

Rongguang pulled the front of his jersey and signaled to Shafei.

Of course Shafei understands what this means. Rongguang is going to exchange his jerseys for himself.

He was even more surprised after he understood.

It is normal for a forward to find a forward to exchange jerseys, and it is normal to find players from other positions to exchange jerseys, but it is rare to find a goalkeeper to exchange jerseys. Generally, the goalkeeper to exchange jerseys.

Shafei never expected that Rongguang, the number one star in this Asian Cup, would take the initiative to exchange his jerseys with him.

You know, in the previous three games, Rong Guang never had a move to exchange jerseys. And his first time in the Asian Cup was with him.

After Shafei reacted, she did not refuse Glory, but took off her jersey and handed it to Glory.

Rongguang also handed the jersey on his body to Shafei.

Then the two people held their hands together, and Rong Guang gave him a thumbs up.

Rongguang can speak Chinese, English, Portuguese, German, but he can't speak Arabic.

Shafi only speaks Arabic.

The two people are speechless, but this does not prevent them from conveying each other's emotions.

Finally, the two of them hugged each other with their upper bodies.

Rongguang patted Shafei's back.

In this game, Shafei's performance left a very profound performance to Rongguang. He did not expect to meet such an outstanding goalkeeper in Asia.

That's why he was willing to take the initiative to exchange jerseys with Shafei. On the one hand, he naturally comforted him, and on the other hand, he encouraged him and expressed his praise and appreciation for him.

As a winner, all he can do is this.

Shafei felt the kindness of glory and a smile appeared on her face.

Then the two shook hands again and turned to say goodbye.

"Rongguang actually took the initiative to find Sha Fei to exchange jerseys..." Liu Hong was also surprised when he saw this scene, "Maybe it was because Sha Fei's performance in this game was really outstanding... It's really a hero who cherished the hero. Although we advanced in this game, we should also give the applause to the Jordan team and Sha Fei."

In the commentary of this game, Liu Hong mentioned the most Jordanian player's name is probably "Shafei".

Almost every time the Chinese team shoots, he will scream "Shafei"

Because Shafei saved the Chinese team's shot again.

In the technical statistics after the game, the Chinese team had as many as 26 shots in the entire game, setting a record of the most shots in this Asian Cup. Fifteen of these 26 shots hit the goal frame, and scored one goal.

In other words, all fourteen shots were saved by Shafei...

Fourteen effective saves in this game also made Shafei the goalkeeper with the most saves in the last single game in this Asian Cup.

His performance like this is indeed worthy of the respect of the Chinese team.

After exchanging jerseys with Rongguang, Shafei finally came back to her senses from the negative emotions of failure. He held Rongguang's jersey and raised his arms to thank the Jordanian fans in the stands.

And Jordanian fans also stood up and applauded his heroic performance.

On the other side, Rongguang also devoted himself to the crazy celebrations of his teammates.

On the second day of the game, the Manchester Evening News published a news article, and the title of the news was: "Manchester United: Good News Manchester City: Bad News"

The picture below shows the moment Rong Guang shot in the game.

The main text is about the Chinese team defeating Jordan 0 with a glorious goal and entering the semi-finals of the Asian Cup.

This is good news for Manchester United, because Glory will continue to stay in Qatar.

And for Manchester City, it is naturally not good news. Glory has not yet come back, and they still have to continue their days without glory.

In the last round of the league, Manchester City narrowly defeated Wolves 4-1 at home, and the victory was very thrilling. Everyone began to miss glory.

Because of glory, the English media are very concerned about reporting on the Asian Cup. They even sent many reporters to Qatar to report on this Asian Cup, and of course they only reported on games with glory.

As a result, the Chinese team has entered the vision of many English fans.

On this night, Manchester City will challenge Aston Villa away, while Manchester United will face Birmingham at home.

Before that, the two teams are now four points apart. Manchester City is fifty-seven points and Manchester United is fifty-three points.

After Glory left the team, although Manchester City has not lost yet, they have already tied two games.

This affected their lead over Manchester United.

You know, before Glory left the team, Manchester City was six points ahead of Manchester United.

Sure enough, the influence of Rongguang's departure gradually emerged.

Manchester City is entirely supported by the offensive combination of Ibrahimovic and Sneider and David Silva. Berbatov, Sturric and Martin Petrov are not good, they are in a state of unstable condition and have poor performance.

Benitez now finds that he doesn't have many cards in his hands. Once Glory is absent, he will be very stretched and he can't even afford to play rotation.

This summer, if you want to keep the team going up, you have to bring in offensive players.

In the final game of the evening, Manchester City tied 22 with Aston Villa after a hard away game.

Ibrahimovic scored twice in the game, but in the 83rd minute, he received the second yellow card for protesting the referee's decision and was sent out.

At Old Trafford Stadium, Manchester United beat Birmingham 0 at home.

They narrowed the gap between the two sides to two points again.

The competition for the league championship this season is getting more and more intense.

And in the next round of the league, Ibrahimovic will be suspended for one game. However, there is not no good news at all.

The good news is that when the next league round, Rongguang will come back

Even if the Chinese team reached the finals, the finals of the Asian Cup would be held on the evening of January 29.

After the finals, you can return to England on the 30th of Glory.

Manchester City's next league round will be on the evening of February 2nd.

Even if Ibrahimovic is absent, there is still glory.

This somewhat alleviated the impact of Ibrahimovic's absence on the team.

But no one can say what kind of state the glory will be at that time. Will he still have the energy to deal with a fierce Premier League match?

Everyone was unsure.

Anyway, take one step at a time.
Chapter completed!
