Ice Shooter of the Green Field

2011 is here.

However, for the players of the Chinese team, there is no time to celebrate New Year's Day. On December 30, the whole team took a flight to Doha, the capital of Qatar. On January 7, the Asian Cup will officially start.

Many fans have expressed that they will go to Qatar to support the team. Many fans hope that the Chinese team can break into the final stage of the competition, because this year’s Spring Festival is in early February. If they can still watch the game at the end of January, most of the fans will They also started the New Year holidays, so they can go to the scene to support the team.

Of course, the first thing to consider is how to pass the group stage. Qatar, which has the advantage of home court, should not have a big problem qualifying for the group. The opponent that the national football team needs to pay attention to is Uzbekistan.

In the first game in 2011, the national football team ushered in the last warm-up match before the Asian Cup. The opponent was the defending champion Iraq.

The defending champion of Iraq may be the most amazing and inspirational champion in Asian history. In 2007, due to well-known reasons, Iraq was in a state of war, and the whole country was shrouded in the shadow of war and death. Only in 2007 In Iraq, more than 20,000 people were killed in the war. In terms of football, it is difficult to find a training ground throughout the country.

Brazil coach Patrick Vieira rushed to take over the team two months before the game, but they won the championship under such circumstances.

At that time, the Iraqi national team was more about faith than strength. Their strength can be said to be not too strong. In this game, both sides are doing their best, because it is the last warm-up match, and the main players of the team also need to enter the game state as soon as possible.

Zize played well in this game and led the team to a 3:1 victory over Iraq. He scored twice in the game and also made a good start for 2011.

After this game, all the pre-Asian Cup warm-up matches of the national football team are over, and the Asian Cup will officially open soon.

In a rich country in the Middle East, the opening ceremony was unprecedentedly grand, and Qatar was not stingy at all with spending money on such an important ceremony as the opening ceremony.

In the game one hour later, the host Qatar ushered in a bad start. They were defeated by Uzbekistan with a score of 2:0. Uzbekistan's sought-after domestic star Ahmedov entered the Asian Cup. A goal, in addition, the 2008 Asian Footballer Jeparov sealed the victory for Uzbekistan.

All members of the Chinese national team also watched the game from the stands.

Of course they attach great importance to this game, because Qatar and Uzbekistan are two important opponents in their group.

Uzbekistan's midfield also left a deep impression on the players. In this game, the two goal scorers are both midfielders, Ahmedov is the midfielder, and Jeparov is the avant-garde.

And Jeparov, the 2008 Asian Footballer of the Year, is even more outstanding. He is also a Uzbekistan player shortlisted for the top ten players in the Asian Cup. He once scored a terrifying 20 goals in 36 league games. You know, he Not a striker!

Doha Al Fagara Stadium.

The game between the Chinese team and the Kuwait team is about to start.

The first game is always the top priority, not to mention that this game must be won. After that, whether it is Qatar or Uzbekistan, the opponents are stronger. Facing the weakest opponent in the group, we must do it The only thing is not to lose points.

In the same way, because other opponents have a high probability of scoring full three points on this team, and they all win, everyone is equal to zero. If you are not satisfied, it will be a negative score.

The starting lineup of the Chinese team is goalkeeper Yang Zhi, the defense, Rong Hao, Du Wei, Zhao Peng, Zhang Linpeng start, the midfielder, Hao Junmin, Deng Zhuoxiang, Zhao Xuri, Yang Hao and Qu Bo start, Qi Ce is the single arrow.

In the first round of the match, there were not too many fans entering the stadium. In the Al Fagara Stadium, which can accommodate more than 20,000 people, the attendance rate is only about half. Kuwait is just a small country with little presence in the Middle East. Football is not It was so popular that there were only about 3,000 Kuwaiti fans who came to watch it.

Surprisingly, the number of fans of the Chinese team exceeded this number. According to official statistics before the game, local fans in Qatar accounted for nearly 30% of the fans who entered the game, which was about 3,000 people, and Kuwait also had more than 3,000 people. Chinese fans accounted for nearly 40%, nearly 4,000 Chinese fans flocked to the scene, and there were only a few hundred fans from other countries.

Far away in Qatar, Chinese fans turned this place into their home field!

This can also reflect the fans' expectations for this Asian Cup.

In January, which is not a rest day or a holiday, in Doha, Qatar, more than 4,000 fans came to the scene to support, which is rare.

Naturally, Guo Zhibin also came to the scene. In recent years, his status in East Sports has been getting higher and higher, because he is the reporter who is the easiest to get in direct contact with Qi Ce, and Qi Ce is the only Chinese superstar in the sports world in recent years.

This title is not an exaggeration at all. Yao Ming and Liu Xiang, who are over 30 years old, are slowly retreating to the second line. At present, it seems that Qi Ce is the only world-class athlete who can carry the banner. Ce is likely to surpass the achievements of Yao and Liu.

Although Yao and Liu have raised the Chinese sports world to a higher level and become the real world's top superstars, many fans believe that if Qi Ce, who is engaged in the world's number one sport, has the potential to compete for the highest honor, his achievements will make Chinese sports Once again rose to a new level.

This is likely to be a new height that is unprecedented and difficult to come by.

Therefore, the enthusiasm of Chinese fans for this game can also be imagined. Almost all Chinese working and living in Qatar came to the scene to support the national football team. In Guo Zhibin's pre-match interview, 90% of the fans mentioned Qi Ce .

"To be honest, I just came to see Qi Ce. Who wants to watch the national football team without Qi Ce!" An outspoken fan told Guo Zhibin exactly what he was thinking, "Let me tell you, if you don't Qi Ce, I have been able to scold the national football team to death in the past two years, but now I still have hope, I hope Qi Ce can lead the team to perform well, I think it is not impossible to win a championship."

"I came here specially from China, mainly to see the national football team, and then treat it as a trip. I think this year's national football team is very promising, because there is Qi Ce."

"If Qi Ce can lead the national football team to win the championship this year, I think the Golden Globe should be awarded directly to Qi Ce, oh, and Lawrence, because this is a miracle."

...

Guo Zhibin has collected a lot of interviews like this. During the pre-match warm-up, Guo Zhibin also wrote a manuscript, including these interesting remarks.

And Zize did not disappoint the fans-he rarely disappoints the fans at critical moments. For example, the first goal of the national football team in this Asian Cup was scored by Zize.

This was in the 26th minute of the first half. Midfielder Deng Zhuoxiang made a breakthrough and sent a direct pass. The ball went directly under the feet of the Kuwaiti player. Zize was still a little dazed when he got the ball, because just now he Seeing that the Kuwaiti players are already in place.

However, Zize's reaction was very fast. After dunking a defensive player, he did not give any chance to the defender who came up from the defense. He directly kicked and shot.

The shot was so precise that the Kuwaiti goalkeeper Khalidi didn't even realize it, the ball was already spinning in the net!

More than 4,000 Chinese fans broke out into enthusiastic cheers. The Chinese fans occupying most of the stadium completely overwhelmed the Kuwaiti fans. In the Middle East, Kuwait and Qatar are relatively friendly countries in the Gulf Arab countries. Qatar fans are more also supported Kuwait, but at this time, Chinese fans became the protagonists in the stands.

The final score of this game was 2:0.

Qi Ce did not give full play. After leading early, Qi Ce also started to play back. He decided to save some energy unless there was an accident in the qualifying round. This kind of large-scale cup competition schedule is very intensive, and it only takes three or four days before and after. It is also a tactic to keep the distance, save physical fitness, and reserve in front of relatively weaker opponents.

In addition, Zhang Linpeng scored the goal. In the 52nd minute of the second half, he volleyed from the front of the penalty area. The football hit the defender and went into the net. As soon as the goal was scored, the Chinese team relaxed, and at the last moment they even played. possession of the ball.
