Doha, Qatar.

Arafa Stadium.

Although it should be a harsh winter, the temperature in the Bay Area is as warm as spring.

"The five-star red flag flutters in the wind,

How loud the victory song is......"

In the stands, nearly 1,000 Chinese fans dressed in red sang loudly.

"Singing the Motherland", these are the two most commonly heard songs by Chinese fans, and the other is of course the national anthem.

However, the surging national anthem is too tragic, and it is generally only sung when the team is at the most dangerous moment or when it is at a disadvantage......

But "Singing the Motherland" represents the team's advantage and imminent victory.

The game is not over yet, but the score of 4-0 is irreversible, and these Chinese fans who work in the Gulf region and come to Doha to cheer for their motherland team can indeed sing their motherland boldly!

Across from them, more than 3,000 Kuwaiti fans looked confused, their eyes open, but their eyes full of disappointment.

'It was a terrible night for the Kuwaiti fans, they conceded a goal in the first minute, they were sent off less than half an hour later, and the whole game was out of their hands......

Commentator He Wei, who commented on the live broadcast at the scene, expressed his infinite sympathy to the Syrian fans before turning to his home team:

"For Chinese fans, staying up late today must be very worthwhile, after turning off the TV, everyone will be able to enjoy a sweet dream, I don't remember how long it has been since the national team played such a comprehensive game, but I know that the Chinese team performed like a dream tonight!"

His partner Xu Yang was also as happy as him this time: "He Wei, you're right, we haven't seen such a reassuring national team game for a long time, and in those past games, we always seem to be worried about something." When the game is in its favour, we worry about a reversal in the next minute; When things are unfavourable, we worry about whether we will concede the goal immediately; When we scored, we were worried that we wouldn't be able to keep the win; When we concede a goal, we are more worried about whether the team will collapse completely...... But tonight, such fears almost never arise, and we just had to sit in front of the TV and watch the national team perform in silence. ”

He Wei continued: "Gao Hongbo urgently called up four veterans who had been on vacation more than a month ago, and this action proved to be extremely correct today, the central defender combination of Li Weifeng and Feng Xiaoting is like an iron wall, Zheng Zhi played a perfect role in the front and back in the back position, Zhao Junzhe gave full play to his physical advantages, and used a wide range of runs and sweeps to help his teammates stabilize the defense behind him, while Shao Jiayi, who came on as a substitute, gave accurate long passes many times in a limited time, and assisted Long Shute to score the last goal. The four veterans proved it to everyone with their excellent performances...... Lian Po is not old, and the hero is not old! ”

The oldest of the four veterans is only 32 years old, and he is still an age at which he can continue to shine for the national team, and they can still move their feet, play powerful heavy artillery, pass assists that are beyond the reach of young people, and have not yet lost their ferocious defense, they can fully occupy a place in this national team and play an important role.

They are all star players in their respective clubs, but in the national team, they are also green leaves.

Because the red flower is more diligent and hardworking than them, and more eager for victory and honor than they are.

Long Shute scored the first goal in the 16th second of the opening game, and this goal came from Zhao Junzhe's counter-attack and Zheng Zhi's direct pass.

After that, Kuwait's performance was a little impatient, they frequently wanted to attack, but many times they couldn't even step up to the Chinese team's midfield: Long Shute, Hao Junmin, Zhao Junzhe, Zheng Zhi, Yu Hai, these five midfielders with their own advantages in height, strength, physical fitness, speed and technology made their offensive momentum disappear again and again outside the big penalty area.

The situation became more severe after the 34th minute: a Kuwaiti defender was directly sent off the field for maliciously stepping on the field while defending Yang Xu, and the Chinese team also used this free kick opportunity to further expand the advantage, Hao Junmin picked up the penalty area, Zhang Linpeng pressed everyone to jump high, and broke the opponent's door with a powerful header, 2-0!

With the passage of time, the physical consumption of Kuwaiti players who played with one less man accelerated significantly, and the Chinese team felt that they were even more physically better than their opponents in an official match for the first time.

Looking at the sweaty and embarrassed appearance of the opponents, listening to their heavy gasps, the players of the Chinese team were all happy in their hearts......

This Chinese team has no other advantages, at least in terms of physical fitness, they are all guys who can't run: needless to say, the five midfielders, defenders Rong Hao, Zhang Linpeng, and Feng Xiaoting are not soft-footed shrimps, not to mention that there is a Long Shute in front of them who runs casually for 134......

Three substitutions failed to salvage Kuwait's defeat, and not only that, but with a collapsed formation and low morale, they conceded two goals in the last 10 minutes and completely lost hope of an equaliser.

Zheng Zhi's sharp through ball allowed Long Shute to form a one-on-one knife, but the Chinese captain's push was denied by the Kuwait post, but Qu Bo, who came on as a substitute, caught up and pushed the rebounding ball into the net.

Shao Jia, who also came on as a substitute, was a little better than Zheng Zhi, he used his golden left foot to pocket a ball over the top, and found Long Shute, who was easily offside, and the Chinese captain of "shame and bravery" did not waste another opportunity this time, and a furious shot shook the Kuwaiti goalkeeper to the ground and smashed into their net.

With a four-goal victory, a clean sheet against the opponent, a good run-in of the team, and a proper tactical performance, the game situation was completely controlled by China...... Such a good start made Gao Hongbo overjoyed.

The domestic media have exclaimed that "the strongest national football team has arrived", "Gao Hongbo revitalizes the whole team with a clever chess move", "the new captain is domineering and leaky, and the locker room is all obeyed by him", "The combination of old, middle and young is reasonable, and this Chinese team can impact the championship"......

Fortunately, the Chinese team has never had a tradition of underestimating the enemy in the main game - they do not have the opportunity and qualifications to underestimate the opponent - from the players to the coaches, to the leaders of the Football Association who remotely command them thousands of miles away, they are not too excited after the first win.

Gao Hongbo even specifically mentioned a problem in his pre-match training, pointing out that winning a match is meaningless, because their next opponent is beyond imagination and must be taken seriously.

The opponent is the host Qatar.

West Asian teams have always been extremely opposed to East Asian teams.

And...... Qatar Football Association ...... It's much more unruly than the Chinese Football Association.

Don't look at the Chinese Football Association, which has long become a pool of fishy and filthy backwater, and can conduct all kinds of black whistles in the domestic league, but as long as they go abroad and come to international competitions, their "experience", "interpersonal relationships", and "handling skills" become useless.

After all, the Chinese team is a fair play team that allows the Japanese team to openly play the ball on their home turf, and then does nothing from top to bottom.

It's better than off-the-counter moves...... Where is Qatar familiar with Chinese football!
