Chapter 22: The Terror of Azadhi
However, although some tricks are still quite obscene, after all, there was no incident of fans arguing outside at night to prevent the Chinese players from sleeping, and it was only the best ending.
However, the Chinese players were still very angry about eating, but it made the national team members who were a little estranged before appear to have a common hatred for the enemy, and everyone talked about how to clean up these Iranians after they went back. In the end, I don't know who said it, when they go to China, they will be served pork, and all the dishes will be made with lard, and it will be seen if they will eat it?
But everyone knows that this is just a joke, China is also a multi-ethnic country, and there are some ethnic habits of each other that will not be broken, here on the surface they are all the same people, but in fact, few people know who is of what nationality, because in China few people care about this matter, unless there are special circumstances will be noticed, otherwise no one will ask at all.
On the day of the game, the Chinese players got ready early, boarded the bus to the stadium, and they were ready to arrive at the stadium at about 4 p.m. for the final adaptation site, which is very different from other places after all, but who knew that the distance of less than 30 kilometers would take nearly three hours.
Actually, they came once last night, but they ate behind closed doors. It is said that the Azadi Sports Centre is not allowed to be visited on non-match days. The iron gate outside the stadium is closed, and there is still a distance of one or two kilometers from the iron gate to the stadium. The stadium is surrounded by highways in the distance and has no public transportation or sidewalks, making it very empty as far as the eye can see.
At that time, they didn't even see a single person, only countless black-pressed crows, perched on a nearby tree. Every country has its own culture, for example, Chinese always feel bad when they see crows. But in Japan, the crow is a sacred bird. As for what the Iranians think of the crows, no one knows, but it is certain that the Iranians, if they do not have a special liking for the crows, do not have a special dislike for them.
When no one usually comes, the atmosphere at the Azadi Stadium is very solemn, and this is the world of crows, and the loud "ah, ah" sounds of these crows echo around the empty stadium. At that time, Eddie blurted out that this was like a graveyard.
But now this is no longer a graveyard, it has become a pressure cooker.
The Azadi Stadium is the Freedom Stadium if it literally translates, and the deafening sound of horns here is indeed free. There is no public transportation around the stadium, it is all roads, almost the entire city is flooded to the stadium, and the parking lot around the Azadi Stadium is so full that it looks like a car market. And so many cars rushed here to naturally block all the roads, and the local Iranian drivers obviously should know about this, but they still didn't warn everyone at all, which made them arrive at the scene at nearly five o'clock, missing the last time to adapt to the venue.
Uribe didn't seem angry anymore, this series of events had already made him a little numb, so he just urged all the players to get out of the car as quickly as possible, and ran straight into the players' lounge, they could only wait for the last half hour to get used to it.
However, the seats were almost full an hour before the game started, and since the game was free, there were still fans pouring in even though there were no seats left. If you can't sit down, you will stand on the aisle, and if you can't stand down, you will climb to a high place, and when the high place is gone, someone will hang on the railing of the lamp, and even climb directly to the portrait of Khomeini and Khamenei, you know, it is their religious leader, but at this time no one cares.
The Chinese fans were placed in the North Stand, and in order to prevent clashes, Iranian security separated the Chinese fans from the Iranian fans, leaving some empty seats on both sides as a separation zone. However, as the kick-off time gradually approached, the heavily populated Azadi Stadium continued to pour into spectators.
The Iranian fans spread their legs and squeezed towards the barrier, and the security personnel could not stop them, so they had to use both hands and feet to violently drive them to the other side. Some Iranian fans who didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement began to make a fuss, while the Chinese fans also watched all this with a bewildered expression, and they had the impression that the use of violence by the security personnel was like a fantasy, and as long as the fans didn't make trouble, who would do it? But now that the game has not yet started, that's it, who knows what will happen later? At this time, the fan leader who came to his senses loudly motioned to the Chinese fans to sit down, not to watch, and to avoid conflict as much as possible.
Later, a Chinese fan who was also in the stands posted a complaint on his Weibo, saying that for a moment, I watched the crowds in the stadium and the picture of the Hillsborough tragedy flashed in my head, but this thought was immediately cleared from my mind, and I reminded myself that it would be more useful not to scare myself, or to worry about something realistic. For example, if the Chinese team wins today, will we not be able to leave this stadium? Of course, it turns out that this is just unfounded worries, maybe everything is just the life of the Iranians, who have long been used to it.
When the Chinese players came out, almost everyone felt suffocated, the atmosphere here was so terrifying that even Ai Huan, who was proud to go to Schalke, felt obviously uncomfortable. These people grew up watching the crowds, and there were crowds of people, but when they were really in this kind of place, they still felt like they were rowing a small sampan into the vast sea, and at this time they were also caught in the storm, and they could capsize and fall into the water at any time in the storm, this feeling was really unsettling.
Before the game, Sun Jihai told everyone about the horror of this stadium, and he said that some people think that saying that this is the devil's home stadium is to increase the morale of others and destroy their own prestige. But in fact, if you don't visit Azadi, you won't feel that atmosphere, it's an indescribable feeling, and it's definitely a place that you will never forget once you visit.
There is a saying in Iran that if anyone dares to come to the Azadi Stadium, then we will scare his legs. At first glance, it sounds more like a joke, but when these people actually walk in, they suddenly realize that this is not a threat at all, but a real thing.
