Chapter 578: Asian Cup (15)

In the final, China's opponents will be South Korea, who beat Iraq 2-0 at the Australian Stadium to reach the final the day before they played the United Arab Emirates.

Although Iraq is still experiencing war, but the strength of their national football team is very good, in 2007 they were runners-up, in 2011 they were in the quarterfinals, when they lost 0:1 to the favorite Australia, they still played very well in this cup, in the quarterfinals against the traditional power Iran, and dragged until the penalty shootout to lose the game.

They weren't bad in the semi-finals either, but South Korea were clearly the better team, beating them 2-0 in the space of 90 minutes.

The time of the final is January 31, after the match between the Chinese team and the United Arab Emirates, the eyes of the entire Asian sports media focused on the final between the Chinese team and the South Korean team, and a reporter asked about the opponent of the final at the press conference after the United Arab Emirates.

"They're our old enemies!" Zhang Yuan opened his mouth and said with a smile that the South Korean team is the old enemy of the Chinese team, but this old enemy is for the Chinese team, not for him, he has not played against the South Korean team once since he joined the national team, but has played against Japan, Australia and other Asian strong teams.

"But it used to be, the Korean team was not yesterday, we were not yesterday, now we have a 50% chance of winning the championship, we have no reason to underestimate them, but we are also not arrogant! The final is definitely a great game and I'm looking forward to it! Zhang Yuan then stated.

Zhang Yuan's statement said that the Chinese team and the South Korean team each have a 50% chance, in fact, this is a disguised elevation of the national team, because the Chinese team is really poor compared with the historical record of the South Korean team, and has not won a single victory in the past 20 games.

And what is the Chinese media doing?! It's just the same cheering, there is no sense of superiority, and the cheering itself means that they are short of breath, otherwise they should spend a lot of space reporting on the Korean team and pointing out the shortcomings of the Korean team.

Zhang Yuan was very worried that his teammates would be affected by the historical record, so he adopted a very fair statement, everyone has the same chance of winning the championship, and there is nothing to be afraid of.

After the match against the United Arab Emirates, Perrin decided to let everyone rest for a morning, time is precious, and many players after learning the news have encouraged Zhang Yuan to make suggestions so that everyone can reunite with their families.

With the better and better results in this Cup, many players' families have come to Australia with their classmates, and Zhang Yuan's girlfriend and children have come to Australia since the beginning of the Cup, but now more than 20 days have passed, and Zhang Yuan has not met his daughter, so he can only call and video at night.

"You want to meet your family, don't I want to?! The most important thing now is the final, and before that, we should all stabilize our minds and avoid external interference! Zhang Yuan said seriously.

"How can meeting with family be considered a distraction from the outside world! My parents have been here for more than ten days, and I haven't met them yet! Captain, I'll be honest with you, I'm nervous right now, and I hope my parents can comfort me?! Wang Lei Zhenzhen said eloquently.

"I don't think you're going to see your parents, you're going to see your girlfriend, right?!" Gao Jun laughed beside him.

"Meet my girlfriend by the way! It's not a big deal, is it? Don't you want to?! Wang Lei said with a smile.

Zhang Yuan actually wants to see his daughter, I miss it so much if I haven't seen him for a long time!

So I half-pushed and half-pushed, and reported to the leaders of the team that night, we have been for so long, should we let the players see their families, the big war is coming, this is also a good means of relaxation!

Zhang Yuan's mouth was worn out, and the leader agreed that everyone could go to see their families tomorrow morning, but they had to go back to the hotel to rest before two o'clock at noon, and they would continue to prepare for the game in the afternoon.

When the national football team got such news, they naturally cheered and shouted "Long live the captain!" ”

Grandma's, thank you for the leader's mercy!

The next morning, Zhang Yuan got up very early and said that he was more active than anyone else, and ran to the hotel where Anna and them stayed, and his daughter was still sleeping lazily.

Zhang Yuan kissed Anna and lay on the bed and opened her sleeping daughter seriously, with big eyes, long eyelashes, and a fair face, Zhang Yuan couldn't help but close his mouth and kiss it.

Zhang Yuan hadn't shaved his beard for a long time, and the beard woke up Zhang Yufei, the little baby moved, rubbed his eyes, opened his eyes, and immediately jumped up happily.

"Daddy! Father! Immediately threw himself into Zhang Yuan's arms.

"Haha, my little darling! Daddy misses you so much! Zhang Yuan hugged his daughter and rolled on the bed, making Zhang Yufei giggle.

After accompanying his daughter to wash, Zhang Yuan's family of three went to the hotel for breakfast, Zhang Yufei was very sticky to his father, and he had to sit on Zhang Yuan's lap for dinner, and he didn't want to leave for a moment.

"Look, my daughter is still close to me!" Zhang Yuan stopped Anna's ladylike behavior of asking Zhang Yufei to sit and stand.

"Hmph, this is a troublemaker! I'm tired from all this time! Anna snorted.

Zhang Yuan smiled back, taking care of children is not such a simple thing, Anna just took it when Zhang Yufei was young, and there was also the help of Rosie and his wife, now that the children are older, they love to run around, typical hyperactivity, and it is really tiring to serve.

"It's very good to be active, this proves that our daughter is very smart!" Zhang Yuan said with a smile.

"yes, I'm smart!" Zhang Yufei replied while eating breakfast.

Anna could only chuckle, "Little ghost, it's not about you!" ”

"No, you're talking about me!" Zhang Yufei unceremoniously refuted his mother.

Zhang Yuan and Anna are both public figures, but it doesn't mean that people can recognize them after disguise, Zhang Yuan and Anna naturally took their daughter to a place where they could have a good time in the morning, and the family of three also took some photos.

Happy times are always short-lived, and before you know it, the time is close to noon, Zhang Yuan took them back to the hotel, Zhang Yufei saw that his father was leaving, and he was about to cry with a pout.

"Good, baby, Dad is going back to training, we will meet again in four days at most, Dad promised you to bring you a gift then, a very beautiful medal!" Zhang Yuan kissed his daughter and promised that he was promising his daughter.

After a lot of coaxing, he finally put his daughter in Anna's hands.

"It's been a hard time! Hehe, just let you experience that it is not easy to bring a daughter! Zhang Yuan and Anna kissed goodbye.

"Ho, I've also taken my daughter since I was a child, okay?!" Anna said dissatisfied.

"Okay, then come early for the final, I'll see you on the court!" Zhang Yuan commanded.

"Oh, Daddy is going to give me the championship!" Zhang Yufei's little head is really not covered.

Zhang Yuan smiled dumbly, you little brat, how old are you?! Can you understand football?!

I returned to the hotel on time and went to the leader to report the holiday, and I have to say that he was really the captain, very disciplined, and came back half an hour early.

After lunch, Zhang Yuan returned to his room to prepare, sleep beautifully, and meet the afternoon training.

Boss, it's morning in the UK, what do you mean by calling me so early?!

Is there something important?!

"You want me to be a lobbyist?!" After listening to Klopp's words, Zhang Yuan said in surprise.

The thing is very simple, said earlier by Dele. Alli, the 19-year-old lad is the target of several clubs in England, Liverpool is also involved, the early stage has been tepid, after Klopp came, such a transfer is basically his authority, Dele. Ali can be in the senior team, not in the youth system.
