"Even if the East China Sea is dried up and Mt. Paektu withers,

There is also the heavens to bless our country, long live ......"

At the World Cup football stadium in Seoul, tens of thousands of South Korean fans are singing their national anthems.

Crystal tears glistened in their eyes or slid straight down their cheeks to the corners of their mouths.

Manchester United legend and former Asia's No. 1 king, Park Ji-sung is one of them.

Park Ji-sung, who announced his retirement two years ago, sat in the main stand, the 35-year-old looking into the stadium with a shadow of his 30-year-old in his eyes.

30-year-old self, in 2011, was defeated by that white figure twice!

Once in Qatar in winter, the Chinese team stepped on the corpse of the South Korean team to enter the final of the Asian Cup and became the king of Asia!

Once at Wembley in the middle of summer, Ajax used an unparalleled reversal to step on the corpses of Manchester United's stars and be crowned the king of Europe!

Five years later, in 2016, the former South Korean captain once again witnessed his national team being defeated by one person at his doorstep!

Alone.

It's just one person!

South Korea have shown their most powerful energy, and they still scored two goals in a row after falling behind, which once gave fans hope, but ...... That white number 8...... Five goals scored by one man!

Even if Ji Chengyong and Gu Zizhe all retreat, they can't stop his solo advance!

-

"We always say that football is a sport of 11 people, but Long Shute once again subverted this sentence with practical actions, and he single-handedly destroyed the opponents of the Chinese team."

He Wei, who was commenting at the scene, breathed a sigh of relief:

"In the face of absolute strength, a superstar can really dominate the game!"

Xu Yang, a guest next to him, did not fully agree:

'Of course we were the ace to win the game, but we shouldn't ignore the efforts of the other players and how we could have conceded two goals without their solidarity at the back?

Xu Yang suddenly turned off his microphone and shrugged helplessly:

"Forget it, my heart hurts, I can't make it up......"

-

With five goals, three and two and an assist, Yongjut left the Seoul World Cup stadium with a 7-2 run.

However, the Chinese team did not leave South Korea early, and after the proposal of captain Long Shute, the players and their families were given up to two days of free time.

Two days, for South Korea, which has half of the "3,000 miles of splendid rivers and mountains" (3,000 miles refers to the entire peninsula), it is basically enough for everyone to travel around the country.

Long Shute also took Emma, who came one step late, to play on Jeju Island, which is known as the "Hawaii of Korea", for two days.

Beaches, volcanic craters, lava caves, folk villages, Lilliputian theme parks, and teddy bear museums are just a few of the places to visit, but like many Chinese attractions, there are too many tourists......

And the Chinese occupy almost a small half!

Therefore, almost everywhere Long Shute went, he would be surrounded by enthusiastic Chinese compatriots, but Emma was squeezed aside, and only real Harry Potter fans would take a group photo with her in surprise......

But not everyone is a fanatical dragon fan, and some people coldly watch those "ignorant female fans" enthusiastically get in touch with their idols, and then grit their teeth and post their "sane comments" on Weibo:

"In three days, the Chinese team is about to usher in a vicious battle with Iran, but the captain of the national team is still traveling happily in South Korea, is he worthy of the 1.5 billion fathers and villagers in China?!"

"Is he worthy of the world's taxpayers' money?!"

-

The fan's criticism, while somewhat irrational, is not entirely unreasonable.

At the very least, the match between China and Iran is indeed close at hand.

On September 1, South Korea was defeated, and the 2nd to 3rd rested for tourism, and it was not until noon on the 4th that the Chinese team completed the assembly again and flew back to China by plane.

In less than 2 hours, they had landed at Shenyang Taoxian International Airport.

That's right, adhering to the principle of letting the Iranian team fly for a while longer, the Chinese team did not choose Xi'an in the west for this game, but arranged it in Shenyang, the northeast!

Aircraft of the Iranian team...... Stay in the air for at least three more hours!

Their players also lose three hours of rest and training time!

Of course, because of their travel in South Korea, the Chinese team lost much more training time than the Iranian team......

But...... They don't seem to be worried at all!

"Let's go, when you get to your own house, just say what you want to eat!"

The Liaoning players led by Zhao Xuri, Feng Xiaoting, Yu Hanchao, Li Xuepeng, Yang Xu and Wang Dalei - in fact, more Dalian players - all shook their spirits and put on a host's posture, ready to invite their teammates to taste the most authentic Shenyang and Dalian food.

But they saw a notice from Long Shute in the WeChat group of the "Chinese National Team":

"Level 1 preparation, violators will be killed."

Although the founder then let out another smile, the players who were about to take someone to the stadium for seafood and beer stopped.

The so-called "first-class preparation" has become a regular word, during which everyone has to stay in the hotel honestly, eat, sleep, and train according to the regulations...... All life cannot be separated from this range, and it is almost no different from the closed management of more than ten years ago.

Of course, Captain Long doesn't have time to care whether they sneak out to drink and eat meat, anyway, he has a system that can accurately detect the physical condition of each player, and the guy who has drunk and eaten hot pot or barbecue will always have a special value, he only needs to kick this person out of the squad, and he can make an example of the monkey and strictly enforce military discipline.

Of course, if the whole team goes to eat barbecue and drink beer, he will have to go to the game alone......

Fortunately, these teammates finally gave him a little face, and most of the time he was still relatively regular, so in many games, Long Shute also had to give up his opportunity to brush up his data and give his teammates some opportunities to shoot easily.

This is called mutual compromise and balance of interests!

-

After a day of intense training, September 6 was fast approaching.

The Iranian team flew thousands of kilometers away to Shenyang, and before they had time to completely reverse the jet lag and adapt to the fickle weather of the Great Northeast, they had to face the Chinese team, who couldn't wait to finish the game and then form a group to eat seafood.

Friend, have you ever been to Iran?

Do you know Iran?

Do you know who is the number one FIFA Asia Ranking?

Do you know what football is like in Iran?

Do you know who the top scorer in the world is for the national team?

Did you know that Iran completed an unprecedented three consecutive titles in the three Asian Cups from 1968 to 1976?

Did you know that after the YSL revolution in the 70s, Iran's domestic economy fell sharply, and football was regarded as a flood of law and order, and it has been vigorously suppressed since then?

Did you know that in 1983, the captain of the Iranian national team, Habri, was shot dead for not wanting to hold up the portrait of the head of state on the pitch, and the players who supported the captain were persecuted, and they suffered a dark period that was far more terrifying than they imagined?

Do you know that before the 2014 World Cup, Iran was even unable to hold warm-up matches because of lack of funds, and finally relied on the connections of head coach Queiroz to arrange several high-quality warm-up matches for the team, while the Chinese Football Association has the ability to spend millions of euros to warm up with France, England, Italy, Brazil, Argentina, and Germany all year round?

Did you know that they are so poor that they can't even pay the head coach a salary, can only give a jersey to the players, and stipulate that they can't exchange jerseys with their opponents during the game, and the Chinese team's jerseys are piled up in the treasury and no one cares?

Do you know that in Iran, women are not eligible to enter all kinds of sports venues at all, until they made a sensation at the Berlin Film Festival in 2014 with a football movie "Offside", and won the Silver Bear Award, and even pushed the domestic president to issue a decree allowing Iranian women to enter the stadium to watch football matches, while China's football works are all kinds of bloody romance palace fighting scenes in addition to relying on superpowers?!

- Ah, even in this work.

Did you know that even after such a long period of ups and downs, Iranian football has always maintained the first-class level in Asia, and they have never been short of superstars who can gain a foothold in the mainstream European leagues, while Chinese players enjoy hundreds of millions of annual salaries and tens of millions of signing fees, but only say that they are too stressed and must find a model Internet celebrity to relax?

Such a Chinese team ushered in such an Iranian team.

If you erase the national sentiment, you tell me, such a Chinese team ...... How can you beat an Iranian team like that?
