再见亚洲杯 国足0:3耻辱出局
[ 2007-07-19 09:53 ]

“打平即可出线”却不能出线似乎已经成为笼罩在中国队头顶的一道魔咒。在昨天亚洲杯小组赛最后一轮比赛中,中国队在战平乌兹别克斯坦便可进军八强的大好形势下,却再一次黯然出局。中国队保住了上半场的平局,却在下半场以0∶3败北。

China failed to reach the knock-out stage after suffering a humiliating 3-0 defeat to Uzbekistan at the Asian Cup here on Wednesday.

All three goals came via free kicks as Dynamo Kiev striker Maksim Shatskikh, midfielder Timur Kapadze and veteran Alexander Geynrikh struck late in the second half to break the hearts of the 2004 runners-up.

Iran finished top of the group on seven points after their 2-0 win over co-hosts Malaysia earlier on Wednesday, with Uzbekistan second on six points. China finished with four points and Malaysia lost all three matches.

China needed only adraw to qualify after a 5-1 victory over Malaysia and a 2-2 draw with Iran. Uzbekistan, who thrashed Malaysia 5-0 after losing 2-1 to Iran, needed to win to reach the last eight.

The match was marred by a serious neck injury to Chinese forward Han Peng who was taken to hospital after a collision with Uzbek goalkeeper Hayrulla Karimov in the final minutes.

Uzbekistan travel to Jakarta to face Saudi Arabia in the quarter-finals on Sunday. Iran stay in Malaysia to take on South Korea.

Uzbek coach Rauf Inileyev told reporters: "We spent a lot of time on free kicks because we felt that China were weak in that part of their game. In fact, our whole game-plan worked very well."

Chinese coach Zhu Guanghu, blaming defeat on absence of injured goalkeeper Li Leilei and defender Li Weifeng, is determined to carry on.

"I will not leave football," he said. "The coaching staff and players will learn from this defeat and move forward."
