After returning to Beijing from Central Asia on May 13, the international players once again felt the enthusiasm of the fans at the exit of the airport.

Under the flickering of the magnesium lamp, the Gu Ming Elder maintained discipline well.

Before the group stage of the World Preliminary Tournament was completely qualified, the Football Association did not allow the international players to contact the media. Even the fans, the players have to be careful with what they say and do.

On behalf of the national team, Qi Missheng answered several questions in front of the media, and his official answer made the officials of the Football Association very satisfied. Although Qi Zhuosheng is not very effective in coaching, he is still very skilled in dealing with the media and playing officialdom.

The internationals took a bus to the hotel to settle in, and although they were off during the day, they were not allowed to leave the hotel.

Outside the hotel and in the lobby were crowded with reporters, proud to have spoken to an international player and happy to have taken a photo of Ou Chuliang's face.

Ou Chuliang honestly stayed in his room, watching the second East Asian Games broadcast on television.

The East Asian Games were held in South Korea, and the youth team led by Tang Pengju participated in the football competition.

The format of this year's East Asian Games is that six teams play five single round-robin matches, and after five games, whoever has the most points will be the first.

In the match in Busan the day before yesterday, the Chinese youth team beat Mongolia 6-0 and seemed to have made a good start.

And in today's screen, the youth team is struggling to support. Looking at the score on the field, it has become 4-0.

The host South Korea team is 4, and the youth team is 0.

"Jihai, if you were on the field, you would never be able to score so many goals!" Zhang Xiaorui pouted.

"yes, if you go to the game, the South Koreans can't be so rampant!" The deliberations were echoed.

Everyone looked at the discussion in surprise, he had always been at odds with Sun Jihai, but today he actually said good things for Sun Jihai for the first time.

"Hmph, if I go to the competition, what will I do in the World Preliminaries?"

Hearing Sun Jihai's disdainful answer, the big guy suddenly realized. In total, I hope that Sun Jihai will follow him to participate in the games, so that the position of his international player will have to be abandoned.

The deliberations of the "conspiracy" being exposed tilted his face to the side, as if he was very puzzled.

At this moment, the gate guarded by Li Leilei was lost again, and the score on the field became an embarrassing 0-5.

However, the South Korean team's attack was still not over, and it was not until the whistle blew at the end of the game that the score on the field was fixed at 7-0. The 6 goal difference won in the previous two days were all cleared immediately, and there is still one owe at this time!

"Okay, okay, it's good that our youth B team can play this result!" Ou Chuliang clapped his hands to clear the siege of the Chinese youth team, not afraid of the defeat of Team B, but afraid that Team B would not have the confidence to play!

For example, South Korea, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Iran and other Asian football powerhouses, they will send B teams when they participate in some of these competitions.

Kill chickens with a cattle slaughtering knife? Even if it is a drill, the home team will not participate.

This is not a tradition, but a symbol of the growing strength of a country's football.

If the home team were to play in all the tournaments, it would be meaningless even if the victory was won. It could even be a loss to get some talented A-level athletes injured and lose their entire careers.

At half past eight o'clock that night, Qi Miaosheng asked the whole team to come to the conference room to summarize.

Maybe the trip to Central Asia was too tiring, or maybe the two away wins made the players relaxed. When it was time in the evening, only Ou Chuliang's Jianlibao small group arrived on time. Qi was angry and directly announced that he would be fined 1,000 for being one minute late, and in the end, the players were also "willing to be punished".

And Xiao Wang Tao was dissatisfied with this, and applied to withdraw from the national team and return to the club competition on the grounds of "not being able to participate in the game". As soon as the request came out, it was immediately approved by the Football Association.

In the following time, Ladd and Qi led the international players to Guangzhou together, playing two warm-up matches against local teams at Tianhe Stadium and Foshan.

Fans in Guangzhou were very enthusiastic about the arrival of the Chinese team, and many fans wanted to go to the scene to watch a game of the Chinese team, but unfortunately it was difficult to find a ticket.

Especially Ou Chuliang, although he appeared on stage on behalf of Liaozu and Jianlibao. But as his ancestral background was exposed, Guangzhou fans immediately worshipped him as a "god". Good guy, a player who became the main national player at the age of 19, and got it at the age of 39?

So far, Guangzhou fans are proud of this country that is about to reign for 20 years.

On May 21, the closing ceremony of the East Asian Games ended, and the Chinese youth team finally ranked behind South Korea and Japan with 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, accumulating 10 points, and won the third place in the East Asian Games.

At 13:30 p.m., the national football delegation took a special plane again, and after a two-and-a-half-hour flight, landed at the airport of Ho Chi Minh City, the capital of Vietnam, and officials from the Chinese Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City and the Vietnam Football Association came to pick up the plane.

To the surprise of the internationals, they were greeted by the cheers of the fans as soon as they got off the plane. When meeting the fans, there were even a few familiar faces to be seen.

"Wherever the Chinese team goes, we will follow!"

Several dark-faced but refreshed fans held banners and shouted "China will win." The players can clearly see that even in the harsh environment of Tajikistan, these people are still standing in the stands and cheering for the Chinese team.

The internationals were so excited that they stood with them and took pictures.

"Lao Mao, you need to score a few more goals!"

"Guozai, pass a few more good balls!"

"Horse, we're still waiting for your long shot!"

"Kuroko, can you play this time?"

"Third prince, fuck him!"

"Ou Chuliang, I love you! Ahhh Ou Chuliang, I love you! I love you!! ”

Amid the shouts of these rough men, the national football team took a bus to stay at the five-star New World Hotel, which is invested by the French and run by Hong Kongers. Compared to Central Asia, the environment here is simply too superior.

At 17 p.m. on May 25, the national football team played the third match of the first round of the World Cup qualifiers with the Vietnamese team at the Unification Stadium in Ho Chi Minh City. There were 23,000 spectators, and CCTV Sports Channel and Guangdong TV Zhujiang TV broadcast live.

The starting line of the Chinese team has basically not changed, but Xie Hui and Su Maozhen have discharged the "Twin Towers Combination".

Vietnam, which was playing at home, did not press the national football team after the start of the game, and the pace was not fast, so the Chinese team had no worries about attacking.

In the 23rd minute, Peng Weiguo received a cross from Mao Yijun's pass, and Xie Hui outflanked and grabbed the point in front of the goal to open the scoring.

In the 30th minute, it was Peng Weiguo who took a corner kick again, and General Fan jumped to the top and went to the next city.

After taking a two-goal lead, the Chinese team slackened a little, and it seemed that the problem of not being able to play the lead was found again.

In the 36th minute, Vietnam's number one star Le Xuan De, who was released from the ban and returned, beat General Fan Da and Zhang Jihua, who passed the physical test and returned to the starting lineup of the national team, to shoot the ball into the dead corner and pull back a city for the Vietnamese team.

Ladd, who was very dissatisfied with the goal conceded, replaced the in-form Li Tie with Li Ming in the 44th minute, and this kind of substitution that couldn't wait for the end of the halftime was very damaging to the player's face. But in the next second, Ladd's substitution brought new luck. As soon as Li Ming came on the field, Su Maozhen received Mao Yijun's right overhead cross and shot the ball in.

Although Li Ming had not touched the ball yet, his play successfully attracted the attention of many players on the opposing side, and the Chinese team led 3-1 to end the first half.

In the second half, the Chinese team continued to deploy troops, and Li Bing replaced Su Maozhen.

In the 59th minute, No. 14 Gao Hongbo was used to replace Peng Weiguo to enhance his attack.

And this game also became Gao Hongbo's last game for the Chinese national team.

After Gao Hongbo came on the field, the Chinese team's frontcourt maneuver and pass obviously made a lot of mistakes, and the ability to seize opportunities became unflattering. Until the end of the game, the score was not extended again.

It is worth mentioning that in terms of yellow cards, the national football team also beat Vietnam 3-1. In particular, Mao Yijun accumulated two yellow cards and will be suspended in the next game.

At the press conference after the game, Ladd admitted that although he was satisfied with the result of the game, this game was also the worst of the three away games, and he would reflect on it after returning to Beijing.

Ladd's attitude has won the respect of the fans, he is not arrogant or discouraged when he wins, and even if he wins, he reflects on his mistakes, such a coach is still very reliable.
