At present, all the quarterfinals of the Asian Cup have been released.

They are China, Uzbekistan, South Korea, Australia, Iran, the United Arab Emirates, Japan, and Iraq.

Since the Chinese team is the first in group B, the opponent they will face next is the second in group A according to the competition regulations.

In the top battle of Group A, South Korea defeated Australia and won the first place in Group A, so the host Australia became the second in Group A.

In other words, the Chinese team will face the host Australia in the next quarter-finals.

Although there are many Chinese in Australia, no matter how many of them are, there are not as many as locals.

This showdown between the Chinese and Australian teams will transform from the previous half-home advantage to the away disadvantage.

The host Australia is also the biggest favorite to win the Asian Cup.

Judging from the historical record, the Chinese team is not very afraid of teams like Australia, but Australia is still better than its overall strength.

Of course, that is when Xu Qi is away. When China has an unrivaled Xu Qi, Australia's defense will be subject to the most severe test.

Unlike the Chinese team who only plays in the Premier League, Australia has many players who play in Europe.

For example, their midfield core player Robbie Cruise is Leverkusen who plays in the Bundesliga.

Their captain Tim Cahill used to play in the Premier League, but now he plays in the Major League.

Matthew Leki plays in Ingolstadt in the Bundesliga.

Yedinak plays for Crystal Palace in the Premier League and has also played against Xu Qi in the Premier League this season.

There are also many players who play in the English Championship and the English League, and are deeply influenced by European football.

The Australian team is not traditionally an Asian team, they are closer to European teams.

Australia has tried very hard to win in the battle against South Korea for the first place in the group, but their luck is not on their side.

Judging from the scene, the Australian team suppressed the South Korean team.

But the South Korean team won the final victory.

Australian coach Postkoglu was very disappointed with the result because they didn't want to meet the Chinese team so early.

In the group stage, the Chinese team, which won three consecutive games, showed super strength, especially the attack power shown by Xu Qi personally, was extremely powerful.<>

The Asian-level defense line cannot defend Xu Qi's remarks have been transmitted by the majority of media and fans. Even if the Australian team is considered the top team among Asian teams, no one still believes that the Australian team can stop Xu Qi with its defensive ability.

"We also have players in the Premier League, such as Yedinak. He knows Xu Qi very well and knows how to defend such superstars. We know that defending Xu Qi in the game against the Chinese team is one of the most important things, which does not mean that we have no choice. After all, the Chinese team is not Manchester City!" Postkoglu still did not forget to boost his team's confidence before the game.

"We know that there are a lot of Chinese fans in Australia. I hope that our local fans can pour more into the stadium to cheer for the team. I don't want to see that the whole venue is full of Chinese fans. That would be terrible." Postkoglu also called on Australian fans at the same time, hoping that the fans can cheer for the team on the spot.

Indeed, in the previous few group matches of the Chinese team, the scene where Chinese fans filled the stadium also made Postkoglu feel afraid.

If there are more Chinese fans in the match between the Australian and Chinese teams, then Australia will be very embarrassed.

The quarterfinals are still played at St. Cop Stadium, with as many as 50,000 spectators pouring into the scene.

Of course, the number of Australian home team fans still occupies a huge number of seats, and there are not many Chinese fans.

According to on-site estimates, the number of Chinese fans exceeded 8,000.

This is enough to show the attractiveness of the Chinese team's recent performance and Xu Qi's crazy performance to the fans.

With Xu Qi here, everyone has confidence in the team.

Xu Qi is naturally on the list of the starter of the Chinese team.

Goalkeeper Wang Dalei, the two central defenders are Zhang Linpeng and Mei Fang.

Right back Zhang Chengdong and left back Ren Hang.

The midfielders are Zheng Zhi, Wu Xi and Cai Huikang.

Xu Qi, Sun Ke and Wu Lei's configuration in the frontcourt.

In this game, Perlan still made some adjustments to the starting lineup. For example, Jiang Zhipeng had always been in the left back position, but this time he was replaced by Ren Hang.

It seems that Perrin is more afraid of the Australian team's offensive and wants to focus on defense in this game.

After all, he has Xu Qi who is unsolvable on the offensive end, so he doesn't need a full-back with excellent offensive ability. It's enough for him to be honest in participating in the defense. <>

After all, the Chinese team and the Australian team are the two teams with the strongest attack power in this Asian Cup group stage.

For the Australian team, goalkeeper Ryan.

The defense line is Frankic, Sainsbury, Wilkinson, and Davidson.

Midfielders Bresciano, Yedinak, Longo, Leki, and Cruise.

The one at the forefront is Cahill, the most famous striker in Australia!

The atmosphere was warm, but the scene of the Chinese fans singing the national anthem in unison also moved the players, including Xu Qi.

It was a shocking scene that could not be felt in the club's game.

Finally, the game began!

At the beginning, both sides began to fight continuously on the side, and exciting scenes including shovels continued to appear.

The Chinese team's pressing strategy is very firm and has no hesitation.

The Australian team has also put a lot of effort into fighting.

In the fifth minute, the Chinese team intercepted the ball and passed it to Xu Qi. Xu Qi looked in front of him and immediately sent a shot over the top and passed it directly behind the Australian team's defense.

Wu Lei rushed into the penalty area very cleverly and successfully tried to complete the offside. However, under the interference of the opponent's defensive players, Wu Lei did not play the ball, and he had no choice but to miss a good opportunity.

During the opening period, the Chinese team's initiative gave them many good opportunities.

At this time, Xu Qi started to play football for his teammates more, not to do it alone at first, and for a while, the team seemed very tacit on the offensive end.

Two minutes later, Xu Qi sent Wu Lei a straight pass again. This time, Wu Lei stopped the ball and got rid of Wilkinson, but he did not shoot immediately and wanted to adjust it. As a result, Sainsbury let the ball out to resolve the danger.

Xu Qi rolled his eyes helplessly.

This guy, it's too unruly to handle the ball.

This Chinese second-genius player, known as Xu Qi, showed a huge gap with Xu Qi in handling the ball and seizing opportunities.

"It's really difficult to go to Europe at this level." Xu Qi complained helplessly.

However, teammates missed opportunities and did not affect Xu Qi's belief and confidence in winning the game.

Xu Qi's confidence comes from his super abilities, and his super abilities include his ability to create opportunities and end their abilities.<>

Since he created opportunities for his teammates, his teammates couldn't grasp them, now he has to start giving me a chance by himself.

This important competition should be ended by Xu Qi personally!

In the fourteenth minute, Xu Qi really got a chance in the middle. When he could be assigned to Wu Lei, he decisively used a fake move and then took a long shot by himself.

The long-range shot was so strong that it was too straight, and it hit the goal guarded by Ryan.

Faced with Xu Qi's powerful shot, Ryan could only block it with his fist.

At this time, Wu Lei once again ran to the position very actively and prepared to make a supplementary shot. However, under the interference of the Australian defensive players, although he created chaos again, he finally watched the ball be cleared by Sainsbury.

Such continuous squandering opportunities may lead to punishment...
