On June 1, the national team left for Riyadh after a week of intensive training.

Saudi Arabia coach Calderon may have really discovered something, with seven players in the Saudi squad not being their usual main players.

This had a big impact on the Chinese team, and Tan Wangsong of the Chinese team was also sent off for kicking his opponent in the 27th minute of the second half. But the current Chinese team is a head higher than Saudi Arabia in absolute strength, coupled with the inexplicable Zhang Yi, and finally the Chinese team returned to Beijing with a score of 2:0. The goals were scored by Zhang Yi and Luo Jinkai.

In the other game in this group, South Korea lost 1-2 away to Uzbekistan.

At the end of this round, China has won all four games with 12 points and a goal difference of 20, which has appeared in advance. Uzbekistan has 4 points and a goal difference of -2, ranking second in the group; Saudi Arabia has 4 points, goal difference -7, third in the group; South Korea finished bottom of the group with 3 points and a goal difference of -11. The bottom three are in chaos, and relatively speaking, the Saudi team is in the best situation, because the matches between Saudi Arabia and China have all ended.

As the national team rushed back to Beijing on a chartered flight overnight, China was already celebrating the Chinese team as the first Asian team to appear. This group was not taken care of, from the head coach to the players are all authentic Chinese, and the process of the game also relies on our super strength to fight one shot at a time. Linked to last year's Asian Cup, the Chinese team defeated Iran in the semifinals and defeated Japan in the final, and we won all the Asian giants in one year. The Chinese team is now No. 1 in Asia.

On the charter flight, there were flight attendants looking for national team players to sign autographs, these flight attendants were carefully selected by the airline, watching them look at the national team players led by Zhang Yi with affection, and watching Zhang Yi lead the national team players who have relaxed to laugh at these flight attendants. Lu Hai had a little headache.

When I arrived in Beijing, it was almost noon. As soon as the national team left the airport, they were blocked by thousands of fans, looking at their players with elated expressions. Lu Hai's head hurt even more.

When he arrived at the national team's residence, Lu Hai immediately held a meeting, and he called Li Jinyu to tell everyone about the experience of being eliminated by the Koreans in the 2000 Olympic qualifiers, and Lu Hai took out a black 8-minute video of 92 years for the players to see. Slowly, the players fell silent, their ease was gone, and their faces became serious.

"The bonus for the match with Saudi Arabia will be issued now, and the bonus will be issued after the match with the South Korean team on June 9, and there are four days left, if you lose or draw, only half of the bonus will be given to you, even if you win less, the bonus will also be discounted."

"How much is more than to win?" At this time, Zhang Yi dared to ask this.

"More than 5 balls!"

In the words of the Chinese media, the South Korean team has reached the moment of life and death, winning 1 game in 4 games, and the next two games have an away game against China, and the other is a home game, but the opponent is the Saudi Arabian team, which has always been their bitter host. A little careless, I didn't even have a chance to finish third and play in the play-offs. South Korean football and even politics have mobilized. The top four in the last World Cup, this time there was not even a qualifier, isn't this clearly telling the world that the Republic of Korea is cheating in the World Cup hosted by its own country? This is a major blow to the image of the Republic of Korea, and even more so to the citizens of the Republic of Korea, who are particularly concerned about their image.

Jung Mong-joon has already received Roh Moo-hyun's order: "At all costs, it must appear." ”

Zheng Mengzhun also felt that he was very wronged. At this point, he also knew that the Chinese team led by Lu Hai was the strongest in this group, and before the first game, the entire Korean football community was misled by the Chinese media, did not do any preparations, and was beaten by the Chinese with a stick when he went up, and then he could only lie on the ground and wait for death. If it had known that the Chinese team was so strong, the Republic of Korea's small means would have been used long ago, such as bribing the referee, such as finding someone to harass outside the hotel all night, and then causing a car accident on the way to the stadium for the Chinese team, so that the Chinese would play without warming up. You just can't win, and you won't get such a score.

The second away game is against Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia is the boss of West Asia, has a lot of strength in the AFC, and it is their home stadium, and South Korea has no ability to do anything. In the next two games against Uzbekistan, the Korean Football Association was still very successful, but in the away game against Uzbekistan, the number of shots on goal was 17:4, but the final score was 1:2.

This round. According to the strength comparison and off-field influence of Saudi Arabia and Uzbekistan, Saudi Arabia has basically no problem defeating Uzbekistan. The South Korean team, which has already stood on the edge of the cliff, must win this game against China, even if it is a draw, the South Korean team will not even be able to play the play-offs.

In order to win the match with the Chinese team, South Korea has taken action from top to bottom. The South Korean ambassador to China also visited the national team training base in Xianghe and took a group photo with the Chinese players and coaches. When shaking hands with Lu Hai, the ambassador paused for a while and said meaningfully: "You are Lu Hai!" ”

During the subsequent visit, an official from the South Korean Embassy approached Lu Hai, "I heard that Mr. Lu Hai's girlfriend is in the entertainment industry, I wonder if he is interested in starring in Korean movies?" ”

Lu Hai was depressed to find that even Koreans knew his fate.

After the ambassador left, a Chinese official who accompanied the ambassador on the tour found Lu Hai under the guidance of Yan Shiduo, who only introduced this person's surname as Li, who was sent by the relevant departments to discuss something with Lu Hai, and then Yan turned around and left.

"What did that Korean guy say to you just now?"

"I said that if I have a chance, I can let my girlfriend go to South Korea to film."

The man laughed suddenly, "It's still this set, it hasn't grown, it's a blank check." You leave him alone, you can win as much as you can. ”

"But the leader, the ambassadors are all in battle, there are no moths in this game, you can't just let us scare other countries!"

"There's some deal involved, and it's being coordinated at the top, so you won't lose money. Koreans rely on us financially, but they always want to take advantage of both ends, and they have long wanted to find an opportunity to clean them up. It's good for you to do this, it doesn't hurt your muscles and bones, and it can make them feel pain. ”

This person hesitated for a while, as if he had something to say and couldn't open his mouth, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "After cleaning up the Koreans, can you let Uzbekistan go in the end?" ”

Lu Hai's face is a question mark, why does the government still care about this matter?

The man was also a little impressive, but he still patiently explained: "I just want to make the Koreans hurt a little more, so that they can't get out of the line at all." ”

"The ambassadors are here, aren't you slapping your face?"

"If the ambassador doesn't come, we'll be a sports game. Here he came, and this was the chance. This slap is to make them understand what they really are, and don't be embarrassed all day long. ”

"It's simple, pull out those who have been international players, have a relatively large grade, but are still fighting in the Chinese Super League, and then pull out Qi Besheng as an interim head coach, just say that this is the farewell game of the old coach and the old international player. If Uzbekistan can't win, don't blame us. ”

The man laughed out loud before Lu Hai finished speaking, "Okay, I'll report like this." ”

Before leaving, he turned back to Lu Hai and said, "We haven't met or spoken today, remember?" ”
