Football: Start with Ronaldo star card

Chapter 191

The main match of the 16th Asian Cup is still a week away.

The Asian Cup is hosted by Australia.

Although Australia joined the AFC a decade ago in 2005, it is not an Asian country.

In terms of food culture, climate and environment, there are big differences with Asian countries.

The members of the Dragon Team must rush in advance to get used to the environment.

By the way, familiarize yourself with the venue.

Even Yan Zihao, who was recovering from his injuries, followed him.

Even if you can't play in the first group stage.

He also wants to be with his teammates on the Dragon Team at all times.

Even if it's just to be a cheerleader!

Asian Cup matches in previous years.

It is basically held in June and July.

Due to Australia's climate, the Asian Cup was held at the beginning of the year.

It just so happens that this is the winter break for the major European clubs.

For the players who play in Europe, it is still more advantageous.

This convenience was originally only beneficial to a few countries, such as the cherry blossom country, the Korea country, and Australia.

After all, these football powerhouses have many players who play in Europe.

But as the Dragon Team replaced the Dragon Country team, it became the orthodox of the Dragon Country.

The Dragon Team also gained some convenience.

After all, more than half of the Dragons' 18-man roster plays in Europe.

In addition to Xiao Chenhui, who has become the captain of Brescia and the banner of the new generation.

Espanyol in La Liga, Hoffenheim in Zhang Xizhe in the Bundesliga, and Bologna in Serie B have gradually become important rotation candidates for the manager.

Furthermore.

Wang Uehara's Blu team and Gao Junyi in the proportion of the time can also be regarded as gaining a firm foothold in the Sakura National Second Division.

Plus the four little swans who have temporarily emerged in the "Staying in Portugal Program".

Xu Xin of Atletico Madrid B, Wei Shihao of Boavista B, Liu Yiming and Yan Zihao of Atletico Lisbon B also occupied a place in their respective teams before the winter break.

He was able to represent the B team of several clubs in the minor league and gained a lot of playing time.

In particular, Wei Shihao was promoted to the first team.

Played several games in the Portuguese Premier League for Boa Vista.

It can also be regarded as appearing in the mainstream European leagues.

This experience made them grow very quickly.

If you put aside the experience of the game, their strength is not even worse than those big names of the former Dragon Country team.

And the attitude of the game is much more correct!

The will to fight is not comparable to those big names who are pampered and eat sea cucumbers.

In Xiao Chenhui's words.

Soldiers are noble and not many.

And what about the 18-person roster?

You can still play the style of Dragon Country football!

Time passes day by day.

Matchday for the first group stage has finally arrived.

The Dragon Team will compete with the Tide Fresh Team at the Canberra Stadium!

The Chao Fresh team has historically had little influence in Asia.

However, in the past decade, a number of talented players have emerged in the team.

Combat effectiveness then rises.

Whoever treats them as fish belly again will definitely have to pay a price.

Lippi, the head coach of the Dragons, made a detailed analysis of this.

Although the strength of the Chaoxian team is stronger than in the past.

But they remain the weakest opponents in the group stage.

There is no one.

And Lippi also pointed out.

The order of the group stage is the best for the Dragons.

The opponent in the first match was the weakest team in the group.

The second game was against the mid-strength Uzbek team.

In the final group match, they will meet Shath Arabia, the strongest opponent in the group.

This order is exactly the opposite of the order of strength and weakness that the Dragon Kingdom encountered during their only appearance at the 2002 World Cup.

If you compare the opponent to the rhythmic rhythm of strong, weak, and sub-strong.

That time, the Dragon Kingdom team after the confrontation with their weakest opponent, Costa Rica.

Head on to Samba Country, the strongest country in the group stage.

And that year's samba country sat on the feared "3R" combination.

A trident of Ronaldo, Rivaldo and Ronaldinho.

It was definitely the strongest offensive combination in that era.

Not one!

It was with the power of the "3R" combination that Samba shaved the Dragon Country team by 4:0 at that time.

Shame on the Dragon Kingdom.

Later, Samba swept all the giants and successfully won the World Cup.

And after playing against Samba Country, the confidence of the Dragon Country team was shattered.

It was eliminated early.

And in this Asian Cup group stage.

The Dragon Team just happened to encounter the "easy first, then difficult" battle order.

Start with the simplest questions.

It's better than starting with the rarest question.

Players from both sides lead caddies in.

They each stood in a row.

Over Canberra Stadium.

The first to sound the fresh team song.

In international competitions, the team's anthem is generally the national anthem of the country.

So when the melody just bursts out of the first scale.

The first 11 people raised their heads and patted their chests.

Sang loudly.

This match belongs to the "home field" of the Chaoxian team.

So the team first played their team song.

A few minutes later.

It was the turn of the Dragon Team to play the anthem.

The familiar "March of the Volunteers" melody did not sound.

In its place was The Lone Brave.

Due to the secret constraints of the Dragon Country Pig Association.

He has twice sent a message to the AFC, saying that the Dragon Team is not the "regular army" of Dragon Country football and has no right to use the Dragon Country's flag and team song.

As a result, the AFC's review failed.

The Dragon Team had to replace the most familiar melody in the hearts of countless Dragon Country people with "The Lone Brave".

Meantime.

The flag, which symbolizes the 5,000-year-old culture of the Dragon Kingdom, must not be used by the Dragon Team.

Monica had to fight for several days and nights.

While delving into the cultural history of the Dragon Kingdom, he painstakingly designed a new team flag.

In the end, a team flag that was in line with the golden dragon blood robe of the Dragon Team was designed.

It is dominated by bright red.

It is embroidered with a golden oriental dragon, surrounded by four golden dragon balls.

This team flag is called the "Dragon Flag".

Listen to the rousing melody.

Look at the "Dragon Banner" with rich dragon country culture in his hand.
