Before the final, Huang Jianxiang left, but he left a letter to the Chinese team on his Weibo before leaving.

"I'm sorry, I will take the flight to Greece on the morning of the 5th with infinite regret and many leading colleagues from the Olympic reporting team."

"This is destined to be unable for me to cheer for my Chinese team with tens of thousands of compatriots."

"For a person who has made football his life and career, this may be the most important one in his life, I will probably miss the first Asian championship of Chinese football, and I can even be sure that I will miss the championship!"

"How hungry people are for the championship and how much they want to win, how much confidence I have in the players."

"But I would say that if we don't win, please stay and cheer on our players, for a tournament that we've successfully hosted, because to do that is actually cheering for ourselves.

"Think of the night in Lisbon a month ago, when the Greeks lifted the trophy and the Portuguese fans didn't leave, cheering and applauding their players. Their demeanor and bearing impressed us Chinese journalists, and also made the world remember this successful and magical European Cup, and remember Portugal. ”

"Of course, I can understand how difficult it is to ask our people to be spectators for this opponent's award after tomorrow's game."

"Because four years ago, when the Japanese team won the championship in Lebanon, many fans and friends fiercely bombarded me because of my admiration and envy for the rapid progress of the Japanese team's technical and tactical level."

"But I don't blame them!"

"After all, over the last four years, whether or not we have emotionally accepted this team, intellectually we have to admit that their football realm is beyond Asia."

"Admitting the gap is to catch up and surpass, I believe that on the night of the final, we can see a different Chinese team!"

"Judging by the games these days, our overall defense is the key to the victory. We should learn from the experience of Dalian playing against Japanese clubs and insist on defending and counterattacking unwaveringly. ”

"As long as we are determined to fight a long battle, I think we will win in the end!"

"Don't forget how we won against Iran, do we have to be afraid of penalties with such a world-class goalkeeper?"

"So I want us to prepare for the hardest things so that we can have the best results. Everyone we saw in the past two days was confident in the championship, but the opponents in the game were not the stupid and stupid "devils" of the old movies, they played modern football, so we had to play better than them. ”

"The opportunity is in front of us, not only for the Chinese players, but also for the fans, because we have not yet experienced the taste of the championship."

"Are the fans who have already got their tickets also preparing? Can you come up with a neater, more international, and more powerful way of cheering? Can you use your own singing slogans to suppress the "well-trained" unified cry of the upcoming thousands of Japanese fans, instead of vain using scolding that only your compatriots can understand? ”

"I really didn't want to miss our final night, but I had no choice. But I really hope that every fan who is lucky enough to enter the Gongti will not miss the best opportunity in your life and an opportunity to participate in the championship feast! ”

"On August 7th, I will be with you in front of the TV!"

......

“... The Japanese team is generally weak physically, and although they have a strong sense of passing and control, we can make a big fuss about our strength, fitness, height, overall defense and speed. ”

On the evening of August 7, at the Workers' Stadium, Alihan flew sideways with his small blackboard. Tang Wu stood aside as a translator, and Tang Wu, who grew up in the Netherlands, could convey Alihan's tactical intentions well.

"In this Asian Cup, the Japanese team did not send an elite. And their star is Shunsuke Nakamura, so I'll give him to you! ”

"No problem, I got it!" Tang Wu responded.

Japan's Asian Cup game is a bit weak overall, and if their strikers could have scored, they wouldn't have had to play those two extra time games a long time ago.

However, Shunsuke Nakamura, who plays for Serie A Regina, has a European-level footwork, whether it is a direct free kick or a corner free kick assist, he will pose a great threat to opponents.

Therefore, Tang Wu is very clear about his responsibilities, so he completely freezes the front-court set-piece of the Japanese footballer.

"Also, you have to be careful about the breakthrough and cross of the three capital masters!" Alihan named the second Japanese player who needs to be "focused on".

The Sando is a naturalized Brazilian striker from Japan, and his attack on the left is extremely threatening. The slightest carelessness can make him tear out a large gap.

"Sun, I think you're going to watch him, aren't you?"

After listening to the translation, Sun Sun gave Alihan an affirmative look.

"The last one is their goalkeeper!" Alihan mentions that Kawaguchi can live. "This is a competitive player, and if you go crazy, you can get more and more courageous. Hao, you have to be careful! ”

Although he had a few stitches, he was still wrapped in gauze today, and Hao Dacang, who appeared with a hood, also nodded solemnly. As the oldest veteran on the team, he still knows the weight of the Japanese team.

With Lee missing the final due to a rib injury, Alihan emphasised his defence from Japan's set-pieces. After all, no matter how brave the goalkeeper is, it is impossible to handle every set-piece cleanly.

After everything was explained, Alihan cleared his throat and gave up his position.

The Chinese coaching staff hurriedly stepped forward and began to cheer up the players.

"Comrades, we have already entered the finals, let's work hard and win the championship in one go, everyone says it's good!"

"Good !!"

Although the leader's words to boost morale are cliché, it is better to be short. At the moment of the finals, everyone is still very face-saving!

After the leader finished speaking, Li Ming also stepped forward and stood in front of all the players.

"Teammates, if nothing else, this is my last Asian Cup, and it may be my last international tournament."

After Li Ming's first sentence was finished, many people turned their heads and skimmed Hao Dacang, who was sitting on the side. Hao Dong was sitting precariously, and there was not the slightest expression on his face. And no one can deny that there is an indomitable momentum and determination to fight to the end behind him.

"Teammates, do you hear the shouting outside? We've all made it to the finals, can we bear to break the hearts of these fans who support us? ”

"I can't anyway!" Li Ming was the first to roar.

"I'm going to do my best to win the title. Teammates, do you have any confidence? ”

"There is !!" The players roared again.

After Li Ming finished speaking, Alihan and the other players turned their eyes to Tang Wu who was standing aside.

It's not just that Tang Wu is different from the equipment they are wearing, but also because today Tang Wu has a yellow captain's armband tied on his right arm.

After three penalty saves to eliminate Iran, no one refused to wear the captain's armband on Tang Wu's body.

"Captain, you can say a few words too!" Zheng Zhi pushed Tang Wu from behind.

"Yes, Captain, you can say a few words too!" The mainstay Sun Sun also opened his mouth.

"Captain, just say it!" Hao Cannon, who had been silent on the sidelines, also suddenly opened his mouth.

At that moment, the bell rang to remind the athletes to play, but everyone in the locker room had no intention of moving.

In the locker room, there was no panic, only a pair of expectant eyes, staring at Tang Wu.

Tang Wu blinked and took a step forward.

Listening to the shouts of 60,000 fans coming from the crack in the door in the corridor, Tang Wu took a deep breath and said slowly: "This is China, and we defeated Japan here 59 years ago. ”

After speaking, Tang Wu turned around and opened the door of the locker room, and was the first to walk out of the room.
