Chapter 321: Warming up before the game

The biggest reason why the Dragon Country team implemented communication control in the team before the quarterfinals with South Korea is to allow the players to prepare for the game with peace of mind.

Because, the attention of the outside world to this game is too high, and all kinds of remarks emerge in endlessly, with the current convenience of communication and information access, if the players are still as laissez-faire as before, it will definitely have some adverse effects on the preparation of the Dragon Country team.

This kind of influence actually existed in the previous game, but at that time, the strength of the opponents of the Dragon Country team was relatively weak, even if the Dragon Country team could not play 100% strength in the game, but as long as they could play seven or eight successes, they could easily defeat the opponent.

The opponents that the South Korean team and the Dragon Country team have faced before are completely different.

Even if the Dragon Country team is confident in its own strength and condition, in the face of such a difficult opponent as the South Korean team, they dare not say that they can win 100%.

As the old saying goes, there are so many variables in a football game.

The only thing that the Dragon Nation team can guarantee is to try to do their best, and then strive for the best possible result.

On January 22, the quarterfinals between the Dragons and Bahrain will end, and on January 25, the quarterfinals between the Dragons and South Korea will be played, with less than three days to prepare.

However, the South Korean team, which started three hours later than the Dragon Nation team in the quarterfinals, had three hours less preparation time than the Dragon Nation team, so there was no obvious difference between the two teams in terms of preparation time.

In order to prepare for this quarter-finals, the Dragon Country team conducted a fully closed training camp, and even the players' communication was strictly controlled.

The South Korean team, on the other hand, also attached great importance to this game, although they did not use such extreme measures as communication control, but during the three days of preparation, the training was also completely blocked by the media, so as to prevent the Dragon Country team from being informed of their preparations in any way.

In the interviews of the two teams in the preparation stage, they also seemed to have agreed, and they did their best to keep a low profile, praised their opponents, kept their mouths shut about themselves, and were asked by reporters in a hurry, which was also a cloudy nonsense, and did not involve the specific situation of preparing for the war at all.

This only aroused the attention of fans on both sides to this game.

The two teams are trying their best to save up their character, but the fans on both sides can't manage so much, and they are confident that their teams will be able to win this game.

Even the entertainment stars of the two countries were involved in the excitement and took a stand and firmly supported their teams.

In this way, South Korea, a small country with few people, can easily unify its thinking, and the whole country is unanimous in its opinion, saying that "Korea will win"!

The Dragon Kingdom, which has a large land and a large population, cannot be as convenient as South Korea, a small country with few people, in terms of unifying ideas.

The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds! Swallowing melon seeds can knock out a stinky seed, let alone such a big country with a population of more than a billion!

Although the "spiritual slaves" who worship foreign countries and forget their ancestors, compared to the number of Dragon Country fans who adhere to national unity and unity with the outside world at this time, the number is still only an absolute minority, but a mouse feces can spoil a pot of porridge, and there are always a few rat feces among more than a billion people.

Therefore, those die-hard fans of the Dragon Country team, in addition to scolding each other with Korean fans in the air, also have to guard against traitors and scum hidden in their own team, which is really hard.

However, the record of the Dragon Country Team in the past two years has given these die-hard fans of the Dragon Country unlimited confidence, making them firmly believe that the Dragon Country Team will be able to win as they wish and win in this game that the whole of Asia is watching, so that they can raise their eyebrows!

The three-day preparation time has flown by, and in a blink of an eye, it has come to January 25, 2019, and the quarterfinals between the Dragon Country and the South Korean team will start at 5 p.m. local time in the United Arab Emirates and 9 p.m. on the same day.

The match was held at the Zayed Sports City Stadium in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, which was also the venue for the opening match and final of the Asian Cup.

This is a medium-sized and large stadium with a capacity of nearly 45,000 people, and in order to better host the Asian Cup, the UAE has also renovated this stadium, making this not very large stadium meet the hardware standards of the world's top stadiums.

With a land area of just over 80,000 square kilometers, the UAE is only equivalent to the Yuqing municipality of the Dragon Country, so although the three games in the group stage of the Dragon Country and the subsequent knockout rounds are arranged in different stadiums, these stadiums are not very far from each other.

Therefore, there is no need for the Dragons to change their hotel and training base between matches, as they did during the World Cup.

During the entire Asian Cup, the hotel and training base where the Dragon team stayed were borrowed from a hotel built by the Dragon State Enterprise on the outskirts of Abu Dhabi, and the training base was specially built for the preparation of the Dragon Team.

In order to fully ensure that the Dragon Football Association participates in this Asian Cup, the efforts made by the Dragon Football Association are not insignificant.

The hotel where the Dragons stayed was only more than half an hour's drive from Zayed Sports City Stadium, and the Dragons departed from the hotel two hours before the quarterfinals with the South Korean team, and when they arrived at the stadium, there were still more than 80 minutes before the start of the game.

When the Dragons bus arrived at the Zayed Sports City Stadium, the players who stepped out of the bus in turn made their first collective public appearance after the quarter-final against Bahrain.

However, the game was about to start, and the group appearance of the Dragon Country team did not last long, and soon entered the locker room, changed jerseys, and warmed up before the game.

The hour-long pre-match warm-up time passed quickly, and the more than 30,000 Dragon fans who poured into the Zayed Sports City Stadium, as well as the Dragon Country thousands of miles away, watched the pre-match report of the game through the National TV Sports Channel and Youdou Video, and the tens of millions of Dragon Country fans who watched the pre-game report of the game, can clearly see the expressions and state of the Dragon Team players in the warm-up.

The Dragon Country team is obviously fully prepared for this game, and the players are full of confidence in this game, so in the warm-up before the game, everyone behaved very relaxed, talking and laughing, several players with more lively personalities, and chasing each other, and the atmosphere in the team was quite harmonious and harmonious.
