Chapter 1 National Team (1)
On June 3, 2012, Beirut Sports City was full of special police officers who were in charge of today's game. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Lebanon's ability to make it out of the group stage was a surprise to many, even they couldn't believe it, and even their stadium had only recently been repaired, after all, they didn't think they would be able to make it out of a group with the likes of China and Qatar.
But football is round after all, and the Lebanese players still reached the top 10 with their love for football, which is a good thing for the whole of Lebanon, but it is still a headache for their government/government.
Although the war has been over for a long time, in fact, there are all kinds of terrorist attacks happening almost every day, this troubled country really has no time to stop, and almost every home game of such a cup is torment, they will never allow anyone to do anything at this time, so today will send nearly 3,000 military police to surround the sports city, and anyone who looks at the problem will be ruthlessly checked.
But they underestimate the allure of football, and what could be more appealing to the people of this country than the World Cup qualifiers, so the stadium, which could only hold 35,000 people, has now been flooded with nearly 40,000 fans.
Most of them don't have tickets, but the stadium that was patronized by a car bomb two years ago still has a hard time stopping those who want to get in, and there are always people who have all kinds of ways to get into the stadium, which also creates a mess on the scene, and there is no effective management at all.
Before the top 10 matches, Lebanon had proposed to change the home stadium, but in the end it was gone, and the AFC still wanted to make some money on this, even if Lebanon was not an effective place for advertising at all, but there were always countless fans who could be seen during the broadcast, who would watch it if it was a different venue? It was really another 300 people entering the stadium, which was really not a good thing for the AFC.
In fact, this is not the first time these two teams have met, they played two games in the group stage, but at that time, Lebanon's home stadium was set in Singapore, so Brut Sports City was really Uribe's first time, and when he led a group of players into the stadium, he was immediately stunned, even if he is a person who has traveled south and north and seen the world, he can't imagine what he sees.
In the past two years in China, Uri has been to all the home stadiums of the Chinese Super League, and he always feels that there are a few stadiums that are not as good as vegetable fields, which are probably the worst stadiums, but after he saw this, he suddenly felt that what he saw was actually a top-level lawn, and compared with those vegetable fields, this is simply a dirt field.
This time the group draw Chinese team met Iran, Lebanon, Uzbekistan and the old enemy South Korea, and I thought it should not be a big problem, but I didn't expect to encounter such a situation in the first game.
"Is it really possible to play football on this kind of field?" Uribe immediately approached the match supervisor, "Are you kidding? This is an international A-level event, and this kind of potholed field can become hell for football players, if my players get injured because of this kind of field, then who can be responsible?"
However, his questioning is meaningless, after all, this venue has been inspected by the AFC, and compared with the football federations of several other continents in the world, the AFC is also a wonder, they can always completely block what they don't want to see, obviously they can't even see the grass, but they can directly open the game certificate, which is also a classic.
The CCTV reporters who reported on the scene also felt very helpless, this time they did not send a team, but only sent a film team over, and as for the signal, they directly purchased the broadcast signal prepared by the AFC.
"Hello viewers, right now I'm doing a live broadcast for you at the Beirut Sports City. "No matter what, the work still has to be done, so the reporter still has to stand in his position to broadcast" You can see that a large number of fans poured into the home stadium today, and we even saw the cheering team organized by the Chinese embassy in the stands, but according to accurate information, the organization of today's game is very poor, and it is a torment for the whole Lebanon to pour in so many people at once, I think they also hope that this game will end as soon as possible. "CCTV reporters rarely enter the mode of complaining, I'm afraid it's because I can't stand this kind of weird place.
"The most ridiculous thing is the field, everyone can see the green field, but don't be deceived by your eyes, it's not grass at all, but they spray a lot of green paint on the field before the game, so now I can smell the pungent smell when I stand on the edge of the field, which is probably a rare thing in football. ”
"Didn't they give an explanation?" Xie Quan, who was in the capital's broadcast hall, asked very strangely.
They said that the grass seeds had been planted a month ago, but because of the recent bad weather, there was a rare drought here, so no grass grew at all, and the automatic spraying equipment had long since been damaged, so we had to wait another month or two to see the real lawn. ”
"Haha, so that means we can't see it?"
"yes, we're unlucky to be here at this time, and if we come here in November, we might be able to see the lawn. ”
When putting out the advertisement, Xie Quan was a little helpless and complained to Zhang Dao and Li Ming beside him: "I really heard about spraying paint on the grass in the past, but I always thought it was just a joke, but I didn't expect to see it today, I don't understand why such a venue can still pass the inspection of the AFC? If so, why are the three stadiums in Dalian, Wuhan and Shenzhen vetoed by the AFC? This is not scientific?"
Li Ming also shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "Who said it wasn't? Originally, we all thought that this World Cup qualifiers would definitely be held in Dalian? After all, Ai Huan is a child of Dalian, and it must be of great significance to him to be able to play a game in his hometown, but who knows that we have not passed, and such a venue can actually pass, it is really speechless." He is now the general manager of Dalian Albin, and he naturally thinks about how to better promote his team.
