On December 16, in the third match of the quarterfinals of the Asian Cup, the Japanese team against Kuwait had a sluggish performance in the game. After 90 minutes, Gamozhou's side were eliminated 2-0 by Kuwait.

The "two small powerhouses in East Asia" have all been eliminated, and now only the Chinese team remains. If even China loses, this Asian Cup will become the "Gulf Cup" in advance.

At 7 p.m., the UAE national football team played the last quarter-final of this Asian Cup with Saudi Arabia at the Syed Sports City Stadium in Abu Dhabi.

Since the domestic time has reached half past eleven in the middle of the night, in order to improve the ratings, it was changed to a live broadcast on CCTV.

After the match between Japan and Kuwait, Huang Jianxiang and Liu Jianhong dressed up and walked into the broadcast studio.

After the two were ready at the table, they gave fans a brief introduction to the history of the Asian Cup between the two sides while there was still some time for the game.

"Before this Asian Cup, the Chinese team and Saudi Arabia had played three times in the Asian Cup, with 1 draw and 2 losses." Liu Jianhong read to the information.

"This includes a 1-1 draw in the group stage of the Hiroshima Asian Cup in '92, a 0-1 loss in the group stage of the Asian Cup in Qatar '88, and a 0-2 loss in the Asian Cup final in Singapore '84."

"Especially the '84 Asian Cup, which was the closest the Chinese team came to winning the Asian Cup."

"That's right." Huang Jianxiang responded simply.

Liu Jianhong was stunned for a moment, and then added: "So this time I will face Saudi Arabia again in the knockout round, and I hope that the Chinese team will face the opponent with a spirit of 120 points." Otherwise, our path to promotion will fall in front of our old opponents again. ”

At this point, Huang Jianxiang should give a detailed introduction to the Asian Cup when the Chinese team won the runner-up, but Huang Jianxiang only said the word "yes" and disappeared.

Liu Jianhong coughed lightly after finishing replenishing, and turned his head to look. But Huang Jianxiang didn't know when an extra blue bill appeared in his hand, and the heads of the four great men were printed on it.

Liu Jianhong frowned, remembering that since the two met at work at noon, Huang Jianxiang had intentionally or unintentionally "displayed" this hundred-yuan bill in front of him.

Until he came to the broadcast room in the middle of the night, Huang Jianxiang was still holding this banknote.

Does he have an issue with me? Or is there something you want to say to me?

Looking at Huang Jianxiang's strange appearance, Liu Jianhong could only introduce it head-on.

"From the footage, we can see that the stands on the south side of the scene are full of fans of the Chinese team. They were all dressed in Chinese red and wore little yellow hats, and they seemed ready to cheer for victory at any time. ”

"That's right."

"According to on-site statistics, at least 6,000 Chinese fans entered the stadium, which is no less than the fans who played against the Japanese team. It also includes fans of the Japanese and South Korean teams. After the home team was eliminated, they automatically regarded the Chinese team as the second home team. It seems that every time the Chinese team takes a step forward, more fans will join in and cheer for the Chinese team. ”

"Yes." After Huang Jianxiang finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows and shook the hundred-yuan bill back and forth under the table.

Liu Jianhong really couldn't stand Huang Jianxiang's appearance, seeing that the athletes from both sides had already lined up to enter, he hurriedly grabbed the list in his hand and introduced.

"The starting lineup of the Chinese team today is different, and it is slightly adjusted from the last game against the Japanese team."

"The formation is still 352, in front of the goal line, it is still the Jianlibao young player we are familiar with, No. 20 Ou Chuliang!"

"Ou Chuliang's performance in this Asian Cup is obvious to all, and it is thanks to his stable performance that we can advance to the quarterfinals with a record of two wins and one loss."

"In the guard position, from left to right, they are No. 10 Li Bing, No. 6 General Fan, No. 5 captain Xu Hong, No. 4 Zhang Jihua and No. 3 Wei Qun."

"The three midfielders are No. 7 Yang Chen, No. 8 Ma Mingyu and No. 13 Sun Jihai."

"The two forwards are No. 12 Su Shigejin and No. 17 Gao Feng."

"In the starting lineup this time, Sun Jihai, the assist player in the last game, moved forward and came to the right midfielder position."

"And Wu Chengying, who started left-back in three consecutive games in the group stage, was replaced and replaced by Li Bing from Guangdong Hongyuan."

"Although Li Bing was the top scorer in the 94 A, when he went to the Asian Cup with the national team last time, he played at left-back."

"So this time, Coach Qi Missheng arranged him in the position of left back, and Li Bing can be regarded as returning to his old job..."

"What is Qi Miaosheng doing? What about Wu Chengying? Why don't you let him play? After seeing Qi Missheng's starting lineup, many Guangdong fans couldn't wait to drop the tea bowl in their hands to the ground.

It's not that Guangdong fans don't support Li Bing, on the contrary, when Li Bing transferred to Guangdong Hongyuan with a price of 64W, the fans were still very welcome.

But welcome to welcome, fans support Li Bing because he has brought many goals to Hongyuan on the offensive end, not because he has built Hongyuan solid on the defensive end.

Although Li Bing played left-back in 92 years, he has left-back experience. But how can Li Bing, who has been playing as a striker all these years, easily switch between two different positions?

Especially for Li Bing, who has already tasted the sweet date of scoring goals, let him do the work of a bitter and tiring fullback, even if he tries his best, he may not be able to meet the standard.

In this way, it is easy for the Saudi team to catch the left gap.

"Why can't even our fans see the problem, why can't Qi mistakenly give birth to him, the coach of the national team, can't see it?!" Grandpa Ou sat in a rocking chair and sighed with a group of local fans who came to the villa to rub the TV.

On the sidelines, Wu Chengying did not enter with the team. Instead, he followed the bench and sat down silently on the bench chair.

After everyone else sat down, they all put their coats over their laps and chatted without saying a word. But Wu Chengying bent down to tidy up his shin guards, and then clenched his hands into fists and tapped the sides of his legs to make his muscles move.

After the post-conference last night, Qi Caosheng's proposal to "use Li Bing as a left-back" was affirmed by the Chinese coaching staff with three abstentions.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Wu Chengying was replaced because he did not follow the head coach's "tactical guidance" in the last game against the Japanese team. Everyone else is playing with strength and strength, only he is running back and forth on the left like a desperate Saburo.

Such a disobedient and unexpressive player Qi Miaosheng must of course "mention" it. After the game, I have been wondering who can replace Wu Chengying in the left position.

chose and chosen, and finally chose Li Bing.

Li Bing is 27 years old this year, in the prime of life, whether it is in Liaozu or Guangdong Hongyuan, he is a character who can control the scene. With him at left wing-back, the coaches are reassured.

And for Li Bing, he also has his own considerations.

Gao Feng and Su Maozhen are the starting strikers and are almost decided, so if he wants to play, he has to retreat to the second. Otherwise, Xie Hui, who scored a key goal in the last game, may be ahead of him in the ranking.

In the end, under the "you love me", Qi Chengying temporarily changed Wu Chengying from the main position of left back to the bench to "protect" on the grounds that "Wu Chengying has a yellow card and has not been replaced in three consecutive starts".

With Wu Chengying's temperament, he just nodded after getting the news, and then went back to the room to tell Ou Chuliang about the coach's request.

"Xiao Hei, no matter what the coach says, don't care what others do. You have to warm up on the bench yourself and be ready to play at any time, you know? ”

Thinking of Ou Chuliang's advice to him after getting up this morning, Wu Chengying stood up after adjusting his sneakers and socks and moved his joints on the sidelines.

The rotation on the starter was only briefly complained by the fans, after all, no one knows whether Qi Missheng's substitution adjustment is right or wrong, and whether there will be an unexpected good result.

Because soon the fans' eyes were drawn to a different scene.

Looking at the Chinese players who lined up and bowed on the court, Liu Jianhong's eyes lit up.

"Director Huang, did you find it?"

"Found what?"

"Today's Chinese team is actually blue!"

"Smack!" What answered Liu Jianhong was the sound of Huang Jianxiang's middle finger flicking on the brand-new 100-yuan bill.
