Chapter 147: The Devil's Home Roar
() Before the start of the National Olympic Games, a reporter from CCTV 5 took the team doctor Zhang Fugui and invited Dewey and Sun Ji, who stayed in Changsha due to injury, to watch the game while recording a program at the western restaurant hotel where they stayed.
"This kid doesn't talk much, Mr. Wu, you bother more, enlighten him more!" Before the game, Dewey's mother pulled the reporter aside and whispered.
Wu Wei turned his head to look at Dewey and Sun Ji who were elated in front of the TV, and nodded.
"Dewey, how's the foot injury?" In the screen, the players on both sides had just finished warming up, and Wu Wei leaned over to Dewey and asked.
"The foot injury should be said to recover quite quickly, and the bones are actually fine. The swelling has basically subsided now, but it still hurts a little. I went to the hospital for a check-up today, and my recovery is quite satisfactory. Dewey said shyly, then tilted his head and thought about it, "If you recover quickly, maybe you can catch up with the 'Sino-Korean War'." ”
"Are you stressful these days?"
"The pressure is quite high, but no matter how much pressure I have as an injured player, I don't have as much pressure as Coach Shen, and I don't have as much pressure as Tang Wu."
"Then what do you think of Tang Wu being elected as the captain of the National Olympic team?"
"I wanted to give him the captain a long time ago, but he didn't accept it!" Speaking of this, Dewey laughed, and there was no pretentiousness on his face. "It's not very rare for a goalkeeper to be the captain, not to mention that Tang Wu is qualified and capable, I believe that after he becomes the captain of the National Olympic Games, he will lead the National Olympic Games into Athens!"
Before the game, the Iranian media devoted a huge amount of space to reporting on the Sino-Iranian battle on the 16th, and their words were invariably arrogant and exaggerated.
"How we lost in Wuhan, how we will come back in Tehran!"
"We're going to smash their wall at the Azadi Stadium!"
"Their Great Wall isn't really long!"
Although the pre-game report was a little crazy, at the press conference, Shen Xiangfu and Iran coach Ivankovic amazingly "agreed": no matter what the victory or defeat, they will work hard to "resist South Korea" in the next game!
The losers of both teams will completely lose the chance to advance, but the winners will depend on the "eyes" of the opponent. Therefore, both Iran and the Olympic side have expressed due respect to their opponents.
South Korea also sent "spies" to watch the game, and the two coaches of the South Korean team, Park Kyung-hoon and Lee Yong-jung, who made a special trip to Tehran to spy on the military situation, said in an interview with the camera: "If the two teams can tie, it will be so beautiful..."
I thought that the three teams in Group C would form a situation of interlocking, but who knew that "South Korea is dominant, and China and Iran are fighting each other". Judging from the injuries of Dewey and Sun Ji, the result of the fierce struggle between China and Iran undoubtedly helped South Korea indirectly.
But the game is just around the corner, and whether the opponent will really beat South Korea as said before the game will be discussed later.
The Azadi Stadium was built when Iran hosted the 1974 Asian Games and covers a very large area.
In addition to two football fields, the stadium also has an indoor gymnasium, a swimming pool, a gymnasium, and a water sports field, which can be regarded as a tourist attraction in Tehran.
On this day, an international wrestling tournament happened to be held, and due to the "decisive battle" with Iran, everyone still calmed down and actively prepared for the fight.
Influenced by Iran's national conditions and traditional culture, when Tang Wugang stepped into the Azadi Stadium, he felt that this place was extraordinary.
"Damn, there can't really be 100,000 people here, right?" Zhang Baofeng entered the city like a hillbilly, looking at the Yilang fans who were putting pressure on the National Olympic Games, and his legs were a little weak.
The other members of the National Olympic team cast contemptuous eyes at him, and this is a "blessed land" for some of the old players of the National Olympic Games.
Four years ago, the Chinese youth team and the Iranian team fought here for 90 minutes and drew 2-2, and finally after the penalty shootout, the Chinese youth team defeated the host Iran with a score of 8-7 and won the third place in the Asian Youth League.
"Alas! If only Qu Bo were still here! In the team, I don't know who sighed.
4 years ago, the teenager Qu Bozai temporarily alleviated his 20-year Koreanophobia with a headshot.
Now that the youth has become the National Olympics, Qu Bo has not even entered the 22-man squad due to injury and state problems, which can't help but sigh.
"Bang, bang, bang, hila!"
"Bang, bang, bang, hila!"
As the two teams walked into the stadium, the Iranian fans began shouting to the beat of the drums.
The Azadi Sports are built on a hill and have a bowl-shaped structure. Use the principle of sound conduction and reflection to increase the decibel value of cheering sound. The fans cheered in unison here, and they did more with less.
The sound of more than 100,000 fans shouting together was like an earthquake, shaking the feet of several national Olympic players.
Tang Wu wore the captain's armband on his shoulders and led the team to the forefront.
"Listen, the fans cheer us on!" In order to ease the atmosphere, Tang Wu turned his head and said to Xu Liang behind him.
"Captain, you have good ears!" Without waiting for Xu Liang to reply, Yan Song, who was walking in the third, scratched his head, "It's right that there are our fans, but I saw it with my eyes." ”
In the past few days of closed training, Tang Wu has built up his prestige in the team as quickly as possible.
Although some "old employees" are still called "Little Tang, Little Tang", some other players who want to be "enterprising" all come to Tang Wu's side and shout "Captain"!
In the corner of the stands, about 1,000 Chinese fans gathered to watch the game.
Some of these fans, who used to work in Iran, took leave to come to Tehran to watch the game today; There are also those who pay out of their own pockets and come all the way with the team to cheer.
A thousand people are so small in a sea of 100,000 people, but it is such a touch of red, which is extremely conspicuous in the eyes of the players.
"Captain, we fans are like silent films, you can hear them too?" Xu Liang asked.
"That's right, look at the fan in the lower left corner holding up 'I love you if I win or lose', he is shouting: 'Come on, come on'!"
"I'll go, captain, you're a god, you can hear this?" Yan Song's face was incredulous.
"Okay million, don't you interject, didn't you see that the captain was amusing you!" Xu Liang pulled Yan Song back to the team from his side.
Yan Song became famous very early, so much so that he earned one million a year when he was young and middle-aged.
At that time, the relationship between teammates was still very simple, and although everyone was envious, it was not to the point of jealousy.
Therefore, Dewey, Xu Liang, Qu Bo and others all called Yan Song "Yan Million", and while making fun of Yan Song, they also set goals for themselves.
Seeing the captains of both sides walking towards the referee, the flags in the hands of these fans waved even harder.
Tang Wu only guessed half right, these fans were indeed shouting cheers, but they were shouting "Tang Wu come on".
Syria's referee, Haq, greeted him and tossed the coin high into the air.
After it hit the ground, Tang Wu let out a sigh of relief and took the ball away. Iranian captain Navidagia stretched out his hand and chose the side of the Olympic fans.
It seemed that they were going to break Tang Wu's goal in the first half. How the home team fans behind him will interfere with the goalkeeper depends on the home situation and the goalkeeper's psychological quality.
Looking at the Iranian fans all over the mountains, Tang Wu had already been mentally prepared.
After shaking hands with the captain of the Iranian team, Navidagya, he shook hands with several other referees one by one.
"Well, we meet again. I didn't expect you to become the captain of the National Olympic Games so soon! After the two sides exchanged team flags, Navidagia did not walk away, but took the initiative to come forward and talk to Tang Wu.
Iran is close to Europe, and the level of the European league is clear to the Iranians. Chelsea have all reached the last four of the Champions League, and that is a testament to that.
This time, Tang Wu appeared in "public" again, and it was indeed not what it used to be.
Before, Navidagia simply liked the Premier League and Chelsea; Now Navidagia looked at Tang Wu with a hint of awe in her eyes.
Even if he "follows the trend" and breaks into the last four of the Champions League, it is not something that a player of his level can do.
"Hello, Navan." Tang Wu smiled and took the initiative to remind: "Do you remember what you said in the last game?" ”
"Of course I do!" Navidagia immediately said, "If we lose, we'll help you snipe South Korea." ”
"So do we!" Tang Wu patted Navedagiya on the shoulder and pointed to Shen Xiangfu in the coach's seat, "If we lose, he will also help you fight against South Korea!" ”
"Hey, that's not the same as saying yes!" Navidagia was not stupid, he immediately understood the meaning.
"Relax my buddy!" Tang Wu laughed, "I'm just joking with you!" How can I forget what I said? Alright, my teammates called me, let's wait until the game is finished! ”
After Tang Wu finished speaking, without waiting for Navidagia to react, he walked towards the coach's seat with the Iranian team flag.
Navidagia just wanted to stop Tang Wu, but Tang Wu had already trotted away.
Looking at Tang Wu's back, the Iranian captain was irritable in his heart.
Although Iran has lost two games, it still has a chance to qualify, so Iran does not want to simply give up qualifying.
And in Navidagya's view, the Iranian team is much stronger than the national Olympic team, both in terms of overall strength and individuality. As for Tang Wu, he should not have participated in such a "low-level" competition, and his focus should be on the Champions League and the Premier League.
On the whole, in the eyes of many Iranians, the National Olympics are destined to be eliminated, and Iran is the one most likely to pull the South Korean team down.
But now it seems that Tang Wu has "deceived" himself. It is hard for Navidagia to imagine how to fight against South Korea with two turtles without Tang Wu's National Olympics.
Just a few more steps, the Iranian captain's heart was disrupted. He regretted it very much, regretting why he took the initiative to come forward and say a few more words before the opening.
Tang Wu peeked at the Iranian captain's deflated expression, snorted proudly, handed the team flag to the staff on the sidelines, and ran towards the National Olympic team.
The enemy is in front, attack the heart!
The words of the ancestor are really full of truth.
"This is Azadi, it's Iran's home stadium!" In the middle of the court, the National Olympic team members gathered around and listened to the captain's speech.
"They definitely want to win us, maintain their chances of qualifying, and get revenge!"
"So in this game, the Iranian team will definitely attack desperately, our overall strength and their lack of strength, so we will focus on defense and counterattack!"
"Defend tightly, attack decisively!"
"Yan Song, you and Yu Tao are running for me on the side, do you remember the method I taught you?"
"Remember!" Yan Song and Yu Tao responded at the same time.
"Okay, then I won't say anything else! Remember, no matter what, we're going to have to go first, understand? ”
"Got it!" The other ten members of the National Olympic team shouted loudly in unison.
"Okay, then shout the slogan again: the wind is blowing and the clouds are flying!"
"The National Olympic Fierce General Attacks the Quartet!!"
