The crunch of shoe spikes hitting the ground sounded in the corridor outside the door, and Gao Hongbo knew his players were back from warming up. So he let go of his clenched fists and waited for the players to push the door open, showing them a confident, scrappy manager. You can't let the players see that their manager is nervous, and that's the end of it,he said to himself.

The players are rushing in.

Yang Fan glanced at the head coach in surprise, Gao Hongbo's fists had been clenched tightly, and his expression was slightly stiff.

The head coach was nervous? The Chinese captain wasn't sure what he was thinking.

However, he still felt that he would do something in a while, because in the past few days, Yang Fan really felt that the team was a little less confident in defeating Australia, and they were frightened by Australia's 'strength'.

It's not okay to be cowardly before you fight.

As the captain, he has to find a way to boost the morale of the team first and face this game with the fullest mental state.

Subsequently, Gao Hongbo spoke to the players and mobilized before the war.

After thinking about it again, he decided to emphasize the importance of this game to the players, in Gao Hongbo's view, the biggest difference between this team and previous China is that this team is young and very aggressive, does this mean that they have strong ability to resist pressure?

In short, Gao Hongbo, who was a little nervous in his heart, said this, he was observing his players, hoping to have a good effect.

"It's over, I'm a little nervous......," Gao Lin said, sitting next to Yang Fan with dry lips, this is the first time in seven years that the Chinese team has reached the semi-finals of the Asian Cup, and no player in this team has participated in the Asian Cup seven years ago. Thinking that if he defeated Australia, he would reach the final, coupled with what head coach Gao Hongbo said, Gao Lin was nervous, he felt that his legs were weak, his heart was skipping, and his lips were dry. There are other players who are just as nervous as he is.

This is also the biggest crux of the Chinese team, this is a team that lacks honor, which makes the players look forward to it more at this time, and then suffer more from gains and losses, and become nervous.

"What are you nervous about?!" Yang Fan scolded beside him, "What is there to be afraid of in Australia? What are you afraid of with me? Don't embarrass me!"

Yang Fan's words played a role, perhaps because of Yang Fan's ability and the results he led the Chinese team to, especially Yang Fan's sentence 'I am here, what are you afraid of' This made Gao Lin's heart settle down.

After scolding Gao Lin, Yang Fan frowned, he knew that he had to stand up and say something.

Yang Fan stood up, and the others immediately looked at their captain.

"Before I get ready to go to the game, I'll say a couple of words. Yang Fan said.

Next, there was one of the most famous dressing room speeches in the history of Chinese football, which was the speech of Yang Fan, the captain of the Chinese team, before the match between China and Australia in the semi-finals of the 2o11 Asian Cup in Qatar. Many players who have experienced this Asian Cup and listened to Yang Fan's speech are still fresh in their memories until a long, long time later, after they retired, when they recalled the eventful years, they put their hands on their chests, and they could feel the vigorous and powerful heartbeat and excitement at that time!

"There is a saying that for Chinese football, this is the worst era. ”

"Everyone may have an understanding of this, in China, football can be said to be shouted by everyone, isn't there a joke, the Chinese Football Association is the only official organization that can make everyone happy to scold without worrying about being punished. ”

Fu Bo glanced at Gao Hongbo, meaning whether to stop Yang Fan from continuing to speak, is it inappropriate to say this. Gao Hongbo shook his head.

"In the 2oo6 World Cup, we were out early in qualifying. I didn't even make it to the top 10. ”

"In the 2oo7 Asian Cup, we were out of the group stage of the Asian Cup, creating the worst record of the Chinese team in the Asian Cup. ”

"In the 2o1o World Cup, we were also out early in the Asian qualifiers. ”

With every word Yang Fan said, the hearts of the players present became more panicked, and some people looked up at Yang Fan, not understanding why he was saying this at this time?

"In recent years, there have been fewer and fewer children playing football in China, and even in the eyes of many people, only children who are not good at learning and have no future are forced to play football.

"We don't want to. Gao Lin stood up suddenly, "Don't we want to play football well, don't we want to win? Since we have done this business, since we have worn the national team jersey, we also know that we want to win glory for the country, and we also want to win well!"

"You sit down. Yang Fan glanced at Gao Lin.

Gao Lin's face turned red and sat down.

"Very good, I believe what Gao Lin said, I believe that everyone wants to win, and when it comes to the game, everyone is very desperate and wants a good result, so after losing, after a bad result, when facing criticism and scolding, you feel very aggrieved and feel that you should not be treated like this. Very aggrieved, right?!"

"We deserved it, we didn't play well, we deserved to be scolded. "The ** Peng who is not very good-tempered said.

"That's right, you deserve it!" Yang Fan roared violently. Everyone else looked at it, and they were disappointed, they didn't expect the captain to say that.

"Yang Fan-" Fu Bo was about to persuade, although he didn't know what medicine Yang Fan had taken and would talk like this, but he wanted to dissuade him.

"Guide, let me finish my sentence. Yang Fan waved his hand, "Why do I say that I deserve it? Because of what? Actually, you should also know in your hearts that you are the king and the loser! On the football field, winning and winning are the core of everything, and if you lose and are eliminated, this is the loser! Isn't it natural for the loser to be scolded? I know that everyone is aggrieved and uncomfortable, but think about the fans who have been expecting us, and then have been disappointed, and then look forward to it, and are disappointed again! Are we more painful than their hearts?!"

Yang Fan said this, and these players stopped talking. Before entering the national team, when they were relatively young, their first identity was also a fan, and every time they saw the big brother of the national team playing badly and being eliminated, they felt the same uncomfortable and scolded!

"Okay, after saying the bad things, saying that this is the worst era of Chinese football, after saying this, there is the second half of the sentence. ”

The second half of the sentence is, this is the best of times. The finished sentence is that this is the worst of times, and the best of times!"

Dickens's words. Someone whispered.

"Who is Dickens?" someone asked.

"Does anyone else know Dickens, yes, knowledgeable, who is that, you don't know, just pretend to know, you know that you are illiterate?" Yang Fan said, which immediately came with a burst of laughter, and the previously suppressed atmosphere was finally better.

"Why is it said that this is the best of times? Yang Fan said, "What is the saying? When the situation is already worse, what is there to worry about?"

"Chinese football is already in a very bad situation because of the previous situation, to be honest, this is an opportunity for us, what an opportunity? Create history, achieve honors, and bounce back! This is the reason why I said the best era! Imagine it, brothers, what would it mean if we killed Australia? Who remembers the last time the Chinese team reached the final?"

"Seven years ago in the Asian Cup, we lost to Japan on our own turf. Someone said.

"That's right, seven years ago. Now, if we can beat Australia to the final, we'll be in the final again after seven years, and don't forget, seven years ago we were playing on home soil, and seven years later we were playing in Qatar, which is even more difficult in itself, and Australia is a very good opponent, which makes our results even more valuable. ”

"If nothing else, we won today's game, I can say that, all of us are heroes, right?"

"Yes!"

"That's right. ”

"That's right. ”

"If we reach the final, although this is still a bit far away, I still have to say that if we reach the final and finally win the Asian Cup! What does this mean? This is the first Asian championship trophy in the history of Chinese football! All of us are heroes and heroes! Our names will be engraved in the history of Chinese football, and every one of us is a big hero!"

Yang Fan's voice is getting higher and higher!

"It's the best of times! This is the best era, this is the road to the Hall of Glory, we only need two games, win the next two games, we will make history, we are the Asian champion, and even this is the turning point of Chinese football, from this day on, Chinese football began to get better and better, what the future looks like, we don't know, but, when we retire, we can proudly say that the good days of Chinese football are played by us, and the good times of Chinese football are played by us!"

Everyone was fascinated by the scene described by Yang Fan, they were short of breath and their eyes were red!

"Shout with me!" Yang Fan roared.

"It's the worst of times!" he shouted.

"This is the worst of times!" shouted the crowd through gritted teeth.

"This is the best of times!" Yang Fan roared.

"It's the best of times!" shouted the crowd.

"The best of times, we kick out under our feet!"

"Kick it out!"

"We kicked it out!"

"We kicked it out!"

The whole locker room was completely boiling, everyone's blood was boiling, and everyone's fighting spirit was aroused.

We have blood in our chests.

There is blood!

When the players of the Chinese team rushed out of the locker room under the leadership of Yang Fan, a staff member in the corridor was startled, and these Chinese rushed out one by one as if they had killed red-eyed gamblers.

The players from both sides were standing next to each other in the tunnel, and in front of them were three referees waiting to enter.

Viduka glanced at Yang Fan, he planned to say hello to Yang Fan, Viduka is the captain of Australia, Yang Fan is the captain of the Chinese team, the two have played against each other in Britain many times before, they can be regarded as old friends, however, seeing Yang Fan's serious face, almost murderous, Viduka swallowed his saliva, but still did not say hello. At the same time, Viduka was also in his heart, and he was a little more vigilant.

Neither player took the initiative to say hello, no one even spoke, and the atmosphere suddenly became oppressive.

The commotion outside the stadium was so close that stepping out the door was a whole new world, and now they were less than twenty seconds away.

The referee held the ball and then turned to the captains of the two teams and said, "Okay, you can play, please follow me." ”

Viduka turned back to his teammates and smiled, "Let's go!!"

Yang Fan waved his hand, "Kick out the future!"

"Kick out the future!" shouted everyone along.

"Look! both players are playing!" the commentator exclaimed excitedly.

"Australia!

"Long live the Chinese team! Long live the Chinese team!"

The fans erupted in loud cheers and entangled. No one could hear what they were shouting, but the atmosphere was exciting.

The two teams stood up and played the national anthem, and the photos shook hands with each other, and then the captain and the referee got together to exchange team flags and guess the coins. Under a standard set of procedures, the Chinese team won the right to tee off and Australia won the right to pick the edge. This is exactly what Yang Fan wants, he likes to tee off first.

"Audience friends, audience friends!" He Wei started his on-site commentary work with some excitement, and his voice was a little hoarse because of the continuous work, but it did not affect him to explain the game with a full volume. "We are now at the Qatar University Stadium in Doha, Qatar to broadcast the semi-finals of this Asian Cup for you live, the match between the Chinese team and Australia! This is the Chinese team has reached the semi-finals again after seven years, this Chinese team under the leadership of captain Yang Fan, all the way to the semi-finals, we are proud and proud of their performance, today's opponent Australia is very strong, at this time, the Chinese team needs our support even more! Chinese boys, we cheer for you!" He Wei shouted.

A narrator is often asked to be neutral. Because bias towards one side of the game will hurt the feelings of the fans and spectators of the other side, but today He Wei did not shy away from calling himself the Chinese team "we" in the game. It was clear that he had put his feelings into it. And no one will come out to accuse him of doing this, because at this moment, this 'we' is the most undisputed, as long as it is a Chinese fan, they will stand up and support the Chinese team!

Once the players on both sides are in their own formation on the pitch, they wait for the referee's whistle.
