Grassroots Glory

The China-Korea war is also the focus of attention by the AFC. The two top Asian teams in another group, Japan and Australia, have already secured two tickets to directly advance to the World Cup. In comparison, the Chinese team and the South Korean team Group A is the focus.

For both teams, this game can determine fate.

The Chinese team needs one point to ensure the promotion to the World Cup and no longer repeat the tragic history of "one foot into the World Cup" in history, while the situation of the South Korean team is completely different.

They are still five points away from Uzbekistan, which is ranked third in the standings. There is no hope of directly taking the top two in the group. The only theoretical hope is to get the group third, and then go through the playoff with slim hopes Compete for the remaining half of the tickets.

But not to mention whether Uzbekistan will lose to Qatar, who has already been eliminated early, at home. It is not difficult for the South Korean team to win two consecutive victories themselves-the Chinese team is enough to cause them trouble first.

Even the AFC official, in the forward look of the home page, is more biased towards the Chinese team. Although the South Korean team played in their home game in this game, the AFC did not save face for the Koreans this time, just a title-"Asia's New King Nightmare Land Killing Tiger?" is enough to show attitude. ——

"The Tai Chi Tiger Korea team may have to say goodbye to Brazil. This time they didn't even have the opportunity to go to Brazil to show themselves. They will be at the front line to play against the Chinese team who will represent Asia in the Confederations Cup. A pair of Asian football The clash of the old rivals, the South Korean team will face is led by Zhou Tiancheng, the main force is the menacing Chinese team, they are returning to the World Cup stage twelve years later, fighting for hundreds of millions of Chinese fans."

This official forward-looking position of AFC is very clear, which makes Chinese reporters and fans feel uncomfortable.

This wave of praise is really unexpected.

This greatly enhances the confidence of journalists-we always feel that some people in the DPRK and China are good at handling things. It seems that in the past we were only weak in ourselves. We must know that even if there is Zhang Jilong's "Dragon Brother" at the top of the AFC, the right to speak has always been They are not as good as South Korea, but they have Zheng Mengzhun who has served as the vice chairman of FIFA. They are not as good as their own. Japan, which controls the AFC refereeing committee, is certainly not as good as a group of oil tyrants in West Asia.

But it turns out that football is a very simple game. Strength is everything.

But Chinese fans are scared and quipped under this news reprinted in the domestic media: we don’t need AFC milk, as long as your football association does not send referees to black we will thank God... Then, such as the Qatari Mr. Sang, don't bother him.

...

The South Korean team has participated in the World Cup seven times in a row since 1986. So far they are the team with the most World Cup participations in Asia, but now they seem to have difficulty maintaining the record for eight consecutive times.

Koreans are naturally unwilling. The World Cup can be without Japan or even China, but how can we be less than the Republic of Korea?

So when the Chinese team arrived in Seoul. It was met with "warm hospitality" by Koreans.

...

According to the team’s plan on the first day, the Chinese reporters hadn’t finished the home team’s training at three o’clock in the afternoon, and they were waiting at the court. But until four o’clock in the afternoon, the South Korean team had already gone for an hour. We all thought that the team temporarily canceled training, and when preparing to leave, the Chinese team's players and coaching staff dragged their tired bodies in a hurry.

Seeing this situation, the reporters were a little bit dumbfounded. Could it be that the whole team is going to work as a general security guard during the day?

But Lippi shouldn't...

If you don’t see the old man in the coaching staff in the same state, the reporters really think that many bad habits on the domestic football are going to resurrect in this national team. Moreover, the expression on Lippi's face was not right-black face all the way.

The CCTV and Sports Weekly reporters who were close to the national team interviewed Lippi very carefully. Although the old man did not want to affect the status of the players, he obviously couldn't suppress his anger, and his tone was extremely angry: "I have been coaching for so many years and have led different teams to countless away games, but I must say that even the most unfriendly Naples on the visiting team will never behave like this, which is very unprofessional! This does not change our goal of coming here to reach the World Cup!"

Lippi did not elaborate on the ins and outs, but the reporters were keenly aware of the clues: what makes the old man so angry is probably what the Koreans have done.

To be honest, Chinese journalists have already prepared for this. If this kind of game does not make any outsourcing, is it still Korean?

People can even black out Spain, Portugal and Italy, and even top stars like Totti can hit the red card, not to mention the Chinese team?

It's just that this time the Chinese Football Association attaches great importance to the logistics support: rejected the organizer's arrangement, but instead gave the national team a five-star hotel in the center of Seoul, only five kilometers away from the World Cup Stadium in Seoul, normally speaking It won't take long on the road.

However, although Chinese journalists have big brains, they are still far away from this kind of routine, compared with masters such as Korean masters.

The true truth will always have to be Zhou Tiancheng. He dares to tell the truth in a humorous form. impression. This is the first time I walked a kilometer to the training ground. The reason is that our bus only drove out a few kilometers before running out of gas. It’s really bad enough to think about luck, but I think I have the opportunity next time, like this This kind of bus with such a high fuel consumption is definitely not quality. Still can't use it anymore...but this is also very good, at least the warm-up training can be avoided, thanks to the organizer, haha! "

Although Zhou Tiancheng said so, the reporters suddenly showed angry expressions one by one.

They couldn’t be more familiar, outsiders!

After Zhou Tiancheng was gone, everyone was quite angry when they discussed in private.

"Go to the special stick! It's shameful to recruit outside!"

"It's shameless to say that shamelessly, the sticks don't push their faces more than ten years ago, they know what it means to be polite and honest?"

"Hey, look at it. This time, the stick definitely lifted a stone and hit his own foot. Zhou Tiancheng still has the energy to joke with us..."
