Chapter 222 Begins in Chengdu

After the opening twenty minutes of hiccup, the game quickly returned to normal, except that Park Ji-sung had a cotton ball stuffed into his nose which was quite funny.

South Korea are trying to make up for their disadvantage, but they are also a little powerless under the pressure of China's strong home field.

Qiu Suhui watched from the sidelines for a while, then stood up from the coach's box, a little dissatisfied with the team's attack around the South Korean team, but he couldn't score a goal for a long time.

"More shots! You don't have to pass the ball to perfection before you shoot! ”

"Received ......" Yang Pan received the ball from Li Yongle, who is now on the right side of the court. He played as a right winger at AC Milan and as a right winger in the national team, and he scored nearly ten goals in a season at the club, but rarely scored in the national team, because the position was further back, and there was a need to emphasize teamwork, self-sacrifice, and create opportunities for Zhang Jun and other strikers.

However, since Qiu Suhui signaled that he wanted to shoot more, then he, as the captain, naturally had to take the lead.

South Korean defender Kim Jin-gyu, who was defending him head-on, became nervous when he saw Yang Pan start to dribble the ball. For people like him who can only play in South Korea, Yang Pan, who can play the absolute main force in a giant like AC Milan, is undoubtedly a superstar, and his strength should not be underestimated. is a character of the same level as teammate Park Ji-sung.

He had to play 120 percent to defend.

Yang Pan took the ball, and his upper body began to shake, Jin Jingui lowered his center of gravity and slowly retreated, he knew that the shaking of the opponent's upper body was a feint. To paraphrase a line from Stephen Chow's "Shaolin Football": "It's all an illusion!" Can't scare me! ”

Yang Pan saw that the feint had no effect, so he had to break through forcibly. He slammed the ball sideways forward, then accelerated forward!

Jin Zhengui knew that Yang Pan was really here, so he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly turned around and cut crosswise, hoping to squeeze Yang Pan out of the sideline.

But Yang Pan's breakthrough was also fake, he took a big step, and then rushed in front of Kim Jin-gyu, knocking the football from behind him to the inside with the heel of his right foot, and at the same time stopped and turned around!

Yang Pan, who shook off Kim Jin-gyu, cut inside with the ball, and without waiting for the other Korean defenders to press up, he picked up his right foot and volleyed vigorously!

The football roared towards the South Korean goal, and the South Korean goalkeeper Kim Yong Dafei pounced sideways, which was worthy of hitting the post.

"Yang Pan's direct shot! Pretty! ”

The commentator shouted beautifully, but Yang Pan himself bowed his head and cursed, he thought the goal should be scored.

※※※

Thirty-three minutes into the clock, the two sides were still 0-0. South Korea's head coach Advocaat is very satisfied with this, and at the home of the Chinese team, he believes that as long as they don't lose, they will win, and all grievances will be settled at their home stadium.

Many people are designing the means and process to break the deadlock for the Chinese team below, including the commentator who is also chattering about what would have happened if it had just done this, and what would have happened if it did......

But in reality, it is often the simplest thing to break the deadlock.

South Korea's attack failed, and the pass was cut off by Lee Yongle and then passed to Crewe. After Crewe dribbled past one of South Korea's midfielders, he immediately distributed the ball to Yang Pan on the right flank.

Yang Pan relied on his speed to shake off Kim Jin-gyu, and then did not shoot directly, but crossed!

Zhang Jun, who happened to follow up at high speed, jumped high in the run, and made a powerful rush to the top!

The football went into the net, and South Korea's goalkeeper Kim Yong-dae was still standing in place. Zhang Jun and Yang Pan's cooperation this time is a textbook bottom cross, outflanking in the middle. Zhang Jun rushed to the top and used the strength of his abdomen, full of strength, it was normal for him to not react, and the ball was still flying into the goal against the goalpost.

"The ball is in! The ball is in!! Pretty! It was only 30 seconds from the counterattack to the goal, and the Chinese team attacked cleanly! The goal that the South Korean team held for more than 30 minutes finally failed! This is a classic match between Zhang Jun and Yang Pan! Their chemistry has been going from their student days to their careers, but it's been a long time since we've seen such a partnership due to the fact that the two are in different clubs. Concise and effective! ”

"Let's take another look at slow motion...... Jang Jun jumped really high, half a body taller than Park Jaehong! And there is still time in the air! No wonder Jin Longda didn't react, maybe he didn't expect Zhang Jun to be able to jump so high and make this goal so easy! ”

Zhang Jun first lowered his head and kissed the national flag on his chest, and then pointed at Yang Pan with both hands, and Yang Pan threw himself at him with open arms.

"It's been a long time since we've hugged like this, Zhang Jun." Yang Pan, who was hugging each other, muttered in Zhang Jun's ear.

"Yes......" Zhang Jun said, "...... But why do you say it sounds so glassy? ”

"Holy!" Yang Pan pushed Zhang Jun away, for fear that he would really be misunderstood as glass.

Zhang Jun laughed and happily teased Yang Pan. The two brothers are indeed not together for a long time, they are their own masters in the league, and they rarely see each other, and only in the national team do they have this time together.

Advocaat saw the South Korean team conceding the ball and jumped up from the coach's seat in a hurry.

Just now, I was thinking about the good of keeping the draw, just keeping the peace, but I didn't expect to be scored by the Chinese team at the critical moment.

What else can be done now? On the one hand, we defend solidly, and on the other hand, we must take every opportunity to counterattack and be able to score goals. In fact, Advocaat is not arrogant, and his pre-match remarks are nothing more than normal psychological warfare. As a European, he is familiar with the foreign players of the Chinese team, and he also knows how powerful such a Chinese team is. So on the away side he just wants to keep a draw.

Unfortunately, since the media in South Korea won the fourth place in the World Cup, the national self-confidence has been extremely inflated, and they think that losing to the Chinese team is a shame, so he is under great pressure in this game.

Even if you know that you can't win because you can't win, you have to work hard and can't lose.

Bianchi, Argentina's legendary coach and known as the "Viceroy", once said: "If you can't win a football game, don't lose." ”

Advocaat is now faithfully implementing this idea. Therefore, even in the case of falling behind, the first thing in his mind is always "can't continue to lose goals, and can't be widened by the Chinese team".

The question is...... In the face of the strong attacking firepower of the Chinese team, how long can the South Korean team's backline of that level last?

※※※

Compared with the Chinese team, the Korean team has a lot fewer big-name stars, and there are no players who are too prominent on each line, so they still insist on overall football, pay attention to team cooperation, and require all players to work like parts on a machine.

The Chinese team is just the opposite, because of the use of many star players with different surnames but outstanding strength, Qiu Suhui created individual + overall football tactics for the Chinese team. On the basis of paying attention to the overall cooperation, the players are required to dare to make moves and dare to express themselves.

Therefore, the current Chinese national team is very popular, because they play well, especially with a "stadium performer" like Crewe, which is enough to make the audience crazy.

Now Crewe has the ball alone and can always attract two or three Koreans to defend, but he still plays with ease under this kind of siege, without the slightest sense of panic and embarrassment, so the fans gave him the most cheers.

Zhang Jun was a little "jealous" of Crewe's special treatment: "Is he the protagonist or am I the protagonist?" ”

Yang Pan said to him: "Who made you, a striker, unable to score goals in half a day?" It's been ten minutes since the first goal, and the first half is coming to an end. And the score is still 1:0......"

"1:0 is good, do you think it's that easy to score?"

"Isn't that what happened to you?"

Crewe shook off the first and second South Korean players in the Marseille slalom, and the stands erupted in loud cheers. And Crewe didn't continue to dribble the ball, he looked ahead, and then suddenly picked up a pass and passed it to Wu Shangshan.

Oh Shangshan leaned on the opposing defender, not letting him overtake him, and at the same time turned his back to South Korea's goal, and it seemed that he couldn't turn around. He had no choice but to jump up and head the ball back, and then count on another striker - Zhang Jun.

Zhang Jun quickly inserted himself behind Wu Shangshan when he jumped up, just waiting for this time. As a striker, he knows when to be in the key places.

Oh Sang-sun's back-of-the-road rubbed the ball right in front of him, and the South Korean defenders pressed him left and right, intending to give him a shutdown. But Zhang Jun was faster than them, grabbed his feet in front of them, and without waiting for the football to land, he directly volleyed!

The soccer ball flew in an arc in the air, just past the golden dragon's outstretched hand, and then fell sharply, smashed on the underside of the beam, and bounced to the ground......

CCTV5's commentator was about to shout excitedly, but the football didn't go in, and the bounced ball smashed right outside the goal line!

"Ahh Zhang Jun sighed regretfully.

Suddenly, a red lightning bolt rushed to the door, and before everyone could react, a fish leaped to the top!

Without any suspense, football comes in!

"Yang Pan! Yang Pan! The ball is in! What a brilliant follow-up shot! He was still outside the penalty area when Zhang Jun shot, but now he appeared in front of the goal in an instant! It was his second goal in the quarter-finals! Together with Zhang Jun, he is the team's top scorer. ”

Zhang Jun opened his arms and rushed towards Yang Pan, and then pulled him out of the net, although he scored, but looking at the way he was entangled in the net now, it was indeed quite funny.

"You see, I said it's easy to score goals, right?" Yang Pan laughed, and then hugged Zhang Jun in his arms, so that he didn't worry about being said to be glass with Zhang Jun.

"You firewood collector...... It was supposed to be my goal, and I was about to make up for it......" Zhang Jun was unwilling to let Yang Pan be so proud.

"Cut-" Yang Pan punched Zhang Jun in the chest.

※※※

Qiu Suhui stood up from the coach's seat, although he didn't jump and jump like Hu Li next to him, but he also raised his arms high.

"That's it! The win is decided! ”

Advocaat had only one thought, and for the first time he was worried about his position. Before the end of the first half, the South Korean team was poured into two goals by the Chinese team. This is something that has never happened in the history of confrontation between China and South Korea in the past.

The morale of the Chinese team has been fully played, and if the game continues, the devil knows what kind of score and result will appear.

The fans of the Chinese team shouted in unison with excitement: "Chinese team! Rise up! China! Invincible!! ”

Because the Chinese team changed the color of the home stadium from white to red like mourning clothes, Chinese fans are wearing red clothes to support the home team, and it just so happens that South Korea's famous fan group "Red Devils Cheerleaders" is also wearing red jerseys, so it looks like the whole grandstand is red, which is very spectacular.

Before the game, some Chinese media ridiculed the South Korean "Red Devils cheerleaders" for coming to cheer for the Chinese team. Now it seems that the effect is indeed like this. The South Korean team, wearing white away uniforms, did not feel the support from their fans at all, and it was all red as far as the eye could see.

At the end of the first half, the South Korean team had not organized an effective counterattack, but let the Chinese team play another quick counterattack and almost scored. They don't seem to have recovered from the blow of 0:2, and the South Korean team, known as the "German of Asia", has always been known for its mental toughness and tenacity. However, it was beaten 0:2 so quickly, and no matter how tenacious the will is, there will be a moment of loosening.

Before the game, the idiot media in South Korea almost unanimously looked down on the Chinese team, desperately promoting something, no matter how strong the team is, there will be an old enemy, and the South Korean team is their old enemy and so on. Even the South Korean players believe these bullshit remarks.

Now they finally know that the media are idiots and must not be trusted, especially in a country where national pride is so strong that it is somewhat perverted.

The Chinese team is strong, really strong. Park Ji-sung is now deeply aware of this, not only because of the number of proud players in the team, but because of the fighting power shown by the team as a whole.

The current Chinese team is a bit like the team in the early years, and their strength has been greatly improved, and they no longer take the Asian "brothers" seriously. As Qiu Suhui himself said, the goal of the Chinese team is now the whole world, and there is no need to fight with those teams in Asia, so since he came to power, he has insisted on going to Europe or South America to compete with those really strong teams. Except for some games such as the East Asian Games and the Four Nations Invitational Tournament, he has never taken the initiative to play a warm-up match with an Asian team. And even if it is the East Asian Games and the Four Nations Invitational Tournament, he also sent the domestic second-tier team to do perfunctory, no matter what the media's reaction is, he always adheres to the principle of "good steel is used on the blade".

It's not that Qiu Suhui has the intention to look down on Asian teams, but as a coach in Europe for a long time, he knows a lot of people, and it is easy to contact the game. In addition, warming up with the Asian team, he really doesn't think it will make any difference. If he's looking for confidence, he might as well go to teams from North and Central America and the Caribbean.

※※※

At half-time, Advocaat yelled at the players in the dressing room, "You guys make me nervous!" Get nervous! This match is not only about qualifying for the World Cup, but also about your honor! "Advocaat was also forced to go to Liangshan, there is no way back, and now he has to attack with all his might. Anyway, losing two goals is also a loss, losing five goals is still a loss, it's better to give it a go, maybe there will be a miracle. "None of you want to lose to a Chinese team that hasn't lost for more than 20 years, right?"

On the other side, Qiu Suhui was praising his subordinates: "You guys did a great job! We now have the initiative. But don't let up, continue this high-pressure blow in the second half, and make the Korean team give up completely. I reckon they will definitely attack in the second half and that's our chance, don't let our feet go too far, don't let go of the chances that can score. If you can score five, you must not allow only four! Do you understand? ”

"Got it!!" Everyone replied loudly. Qiu Suhui's request was exactly in line with the players' ideas, so they were all gearing up, hoping that the second half would start early.

Qiu Suhui nodded, very satisfied with the current situation of the team. He felt that as long as he maintained this form, it would not be a problem to qualify early.

The Chinese team is currently strong in attack and not weak in defense, although compared to the strong offensive firepower and star-studded shots, the defense is not so famous. But the strength should not be underestimated, at least the South Korean team in the first half of the few attacks could not threaten Anke's goal.

Don't look at Xiang Tao, he likes assists, but when it comes to defense, it's not ambiguous at all. Since he and Kru teamed up to give Park Ji-sung a "blood lesson", no one can take any advantage from him.

Although the offense is the mainstay, the Chinese team's defense is very reassuring compared to the past. Zhang Jun and Kru can play freely in the front court, bringing countless happiness and enjoyment to the fans, which is inseparable from these unknown defenders - before saying this, Xiang Tao must be excluded, he is absolutely unwilling to be "obscure".

For the rest of the time, Qiu Suhui didn't say anything, and let the players arrange it themselves, and he and Hu Li went out for a walk. He's very relaxed now, which is different from when he first took over the country.

Zhang Jun, who is a foreign player, will not understand the pressure he faced when he was just promoted to the head coach of the national team, and then carried out a major reform of the national team and got rid of many of the national team regulars. The pressure from the Football Association, the pressure from the General Directorate of Sports, the pressure from the media, the pressure from the club bosses, the pressure from the players, the pressure from the fans. At that time, he almost let his national team reform fail.

Fortunately, Chen Wei always stood by his side and supported him. Then the next few warm-up games were good, and it took him through the crisis of confidence. Now that almost everyone is in support of him and praise his team, it's a bit ironic to look back at the past.

"Old Hu." Qiu Suhui stood at the gate of the players' tunnel, pointed to the hustle and bustle of the stadium outside, which was illuminated by white lights, and said to Hu Li, "Take a good look, this will be a place worth remembering forever." In 2009, Chengdu, we started to hit the World Cup from here. The "World Cup" in his mouth is not a generic name for "World Cup Football Match", but "the World Cup, the gold cup".

※※※

The second half restarted, and the players of the South Korean team who had been scolded by Advocaat were like doping and launched a crazy counterattack towards the Chinese team.

For a while, the defenders of the Chinese team became busy. They were unknown in the first half, but in just ten minutes, they became celebrities frequented by close-ups.

Park Ji-sung intended to cross from the left, but the ball was pushed out by the tall Liu Peng. The height of the two central defenders of the Chinese team is 1.88 meters and 1.87 meters respectively, which is just right for the central defenders.

It is not easy for the South Korean team to rely on crosses from the side and headers from the middle to open the goal of the Chinese team.

South Korea were also immediately aware of the situation, and they immediately increased the number of long-range shots from the middle. The South Korean team has always been known for its long-range shooting in Asia, and because of its strong body and tough style, the long-range shot that best represents these two things is naturally favored by Korean players.

Striker Che Dury, who plays in the Bundesliga Frankfurt, took the ball outside the penalty area and suddenly shot a long shot, which caught the Chinese defenders off guard by surprise and did not stop it in time, and the goalkeeper Che Dury from the Bundesliga was not weak, so he forced Anke to make the most wonderful save since the start of the second half.

He first took a slight step to the side, then suddenly fell to the ground and threw himself on his side like a torpedo, and pulled the football out of the baseline with one palm. At 1.91 meters, he is still very flexible.

Cheduri's shot at this foot was sudden, and it flew against the turf, so it was a little difficult to pounce. However, for a goalkeeper like Anke, it is not impossible to make a save. Cheudhury is now Eintracht Frankfurt's main striker, while Anke is Bayern Munich's main goalkeeper, and the two have played against each other in the Bundesliga, and Anke and his team always win, and this time was no exception. Cha Duri's brilliant shot was saved by him and gave the South Koreans no hope.

The goalkeeper is a very special position, he can bring hope to his teammates, but he can also stifle the hope of the opponent time and time again.

Anke stood up and shook his right index finger at Che Duri, who ran in to grab a corner, and the meaning was obvious: If you want to score my goal, you are too tender. You can't, you can't......

Cheduri gritted his teeth at this provocative gesture, but he couldn't go up to show it, otherwise he would have taken the card. At halftime, they concluded that the Chinese team's backline is very cunning, and they will not only have all kinds of small actions like South Americans - such as Crewe; Plum. There will also be various methods to provoke you and make you behave out of style - such as Xiang Tao. Therefore, Advocaat strictly forbade his players and the players of the Chinese team to have any kind of conflict on the field, he was really afraid that those two hooligans would really take his players off the field one by two.

Park Ji-sung drove the ball out, and the ball spun straight towards the goal, intending to cause chaos in front of the goal and give the strikers a chance to score.

"Stupid!" Anke roared, jumped high, and directly took off the football that was still in the air. "I was underestimated if I wanted to go straight to the door!" Anke, who was hugging the football, was still chattering, but Yang Pan scolded him in front: "Stupid! It's teeing off! ”

Anke, who was scolded for being stupid, was very unhappy, but he didn't dare to go against the captain's will, and hurriedly threw the football to the front.

Yang Pan chested the ball back directly to Li Yongle, who was inserted in the back, and Li Yongle organized the attack.

Lee Yongle took the ball forward, took advantage of the situation to pass the South Korean midfielder Kim Jung-kyun who came up to defend him, and then passed straight to Crewe; Plum.

Every time the football falls at the feet of Crewe, the Chinese fans get excited. Just like the Fiorentina fans, they are hoping that Crewe will be able to play new tricks again.

But Crewe is a professional footballer after all, not a busker, so he knows very well when to play and when not to play.

Now that the Chinese team is playing a quick counterattack, it is not the time to play with the ball, and he quickly passes the ball out.

Zhao Pengyu on the left relied on his speed to catch up with Crewe's through ball, and then crossed with his feet. Oh Shangshan jumped up at the front point to fight for the top, but unfortunately under the close interference of the South Korean defender, he only rubbed the football slightly, and did not put the football into the goal. This time Zhang Jun, who was preparing to compete for the top at the back point, shook it with the South Korean defenders.

Zhang Jun saw that the football was about to fly away from behind him, and he didn't even have a chance to stop and turn around, but jumped up directly, and turned around again in the air at the same time. Like a whirlwind, Zhang Jun jumped in the air and turned 360 degrees, and at the same time slammed his left heel around his body, just hitting the football......

The football was slashed by the heel of Zhang Jun's left foot, drawing a strange arc in the air, flying high, past the right hand stretched out by goalkeeper Jin Longda, past everyone's surprised gaze, and fell into the goal.

Zhang Jun put his hands under the cushion, so that he did not let himself, who had lost his balance, land directly on his face. Naturally, it is even more impossible for him to know whether the football has scored or not.

But soon, the tsunami-like cheers of the Chengdu Sports Center told him the final result - the ball was scored!!

"The ball is in!! The ball is in!! Jang Jun's 'Dragon Teng'!! It's been a long, long time since I've seen him score with a dragon! Magical heels! No matter what angle, what way, no matter what situation, he can send the football into the opponent's goal - as long as he wants to, he will! At this moment, the narrator seemed to have become a fanatical believer in Zhang Jun, not realizing that he had said Zhang Jun as a "god".

Advocaat slumped in the dugout: "Oh God, what do I see? ”

After the goal, Zhang Jun was also very excited, he kept kissing the national flag pattern on his chest, and then ran under the audience, took off his jersey, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it hard into the stands. Suddenly, the people in the stands rushed forward like crazy, scrambling for the jersey thrown by Zhang Jun.

Chen Wei, who was sitting on the rostrum, also jumped up rarely, he raised his arms high, cheering for Zhang Junhe and the goal like an ordinary fan. At the same time, he shouted in his heart: "Chengdu! Blessed land!! ”

But isn't it, the dragon that I haven't seen for a long time has appeared, what else can it be if it's not a blessed land? With such a fanatical home atmosphere and such an excellent team, qualifying for the 2010 World Cup is no longer a problem! Chen Wei is now thinking about maybe the team can go further, the last session was the top 16, and this time, he can dream of the top eight, or even the top four.

What's even more exaggerated is that in order to prepare for the World Cup qualifiers, the stadium has been completely renovated and a lot of high-tech equipment has been added. When Zhang Jun's goal was replayed on the big screen, the staff even made a dragon back behind the screen!

This immediately caused the fans to scream wildly, and even the TV cameras on the broadcast pointed their cameras at the big screen.

I don't know which staff did it, but this one is definitely very creative.

The live broadcast was even more sensational and shouted: "Come! Shout with me: Zhang Jun! Zhang Jun!! Zhang Jun!! Zhang Jun!! Zhang-Jun!! All the fans immediately clapped their hands neatly, and after two short applause, they immediately shouted Zhang Jun's name, clapped it four times, shouted it four times, and for the last time, the word "Zhang" lengthened the voice, until the word "Jun" was shouted out violently as the end.

The reporters at the scene mentioned the action of the fans in their reports after the game, saying: "Don't envy the 'Red Devils cheerleaders' in South Korea, we have the best fans in the world!" ”

Zhang Jun's "Dragon Teng" was the fuse that ignited the passion of the entire court. From the officials to the fans, everyone was crazy about the goal, and no one was left behind.

On Tianfu Square, which is only a few hundred meters away from the stadium, the municipal axe is convenient for the majority of fans to watch the game, and it is also convenient for unified management, and a huge LCD screen has been erected on one side of the square, which broadcasts the football game live throughout the whole process.

At the same time that Zhang Jun scored the football with "Longteng", the whole square was already boiling. Almost everyone hugged each other, regardless of men, women, children, status, and did not think that they were being taken advantage of, or had the idea of taking advantage of the opportunity to rub oil. At this moment, they have only one identity, that is, fans of the Chinese team.

※※※

Jang Jun's "great" goal not only made the atmosphere on the pitch explode, but even the South Korean team, which has always been proud of its tenacity, gradually lost its fighting spirit. Because it's not a team at all, it's a bunch of monsters. Despicable and shameless in defense, useless in any means. And you can use such a wonderful ball in the offense to completely hit your self-confidence, what is it if you are not a monster?

Advocaat also realized that the general trend had gone, and the South Korean team could not compete with the current Chinese team at all. Let's leave it to their home stadium and make plans.

Zhang Jun changed with 10 minutes left in the second half, he scored two goals alone, and the second goal was "Longteng", so he received a standing ovation from the Chinese fans in the stadium.

The Chinese team and the South Korean team did not score again, and the final score was fixed at 3:0, and the Chinese team defeated the old rival South Korea team at home.

After the game, the Chinese media excitedly announced: From now on, China will no longer be afraid of South Korea! It should be the turn of the Korean team to be scared!

Although it is a bit premature, it does make the Chinese people raise their eyebrows fiercely.

Zhang Jun once again made the cover and front page headlines of all the media, and even the Western media mentioned his wonderful goal. The Fiorentina media hyped up their number one star.

However, Zhang Jun did not lose in this level of praise, he understood that he had just played a good game, and that the Chinese team would have to play all the remaining games if they wanted to qualify.

He trains hard every day at the training base and tries to maintain his form, improve his free-kick skills and shooting skills. These trainings make everyone embarrassed, as the top scorer in the team, they all have to practice their shooting skills, so why are others embarrassed to be lazy? Maybe Zhang Jun didn't realize it, but his behavior did objectively drive the atmosphere of the whole team and improve the training efficiency.

Qiu Suhui and Hu Li were very satisfied with this. Yang Pan, as the captain, is more verbally driving the whole team, because he has prestige, so everyone listens to him. And Zhang Jun, as the spiritual leader of the team, is influencing everyone with his practical actions and the spirit of not admitting defeat, even Yang Pan is no exception.

Yang Pan, who has turned professional, is an increasingly practical person, who can use seven points of strength, he will never use eight points, because there are more games after one game, always playing at a super level, and no one can guarantee that he will "run out of oil" in the future. This is a normal way of thinking for professional footballers, to control their form and physical strength reasonably and to be ready for any situation. It will be reassuring in any situation.

But Zhang Jun is different, although he is also a professional player, many of the habits he developed when he played football as a child still can't be changed - Zhang Jun doesn't want to change it. For example, in the competition, you must do your best, go all out, and be worthy of your heart. Under no circumstances is he willing to give up lightly and is unwilling to admit defeat. This kind of thing is exactly what many professional players lack, so they can influence the people around him. Look at Crewe, who didn't care about anything at the beginning and was always cold, under his influence, his heart also warmed up. Although it is still cold on the outside, it is definitely hot on the inside. He always seems to be unaccustomed to Xiang Tao, and he is the one who scolds Xiang Tao the most for being an idiot, but when Xiang Tao and Park Ji-sung have a conflict, he is the first one to help Xiang Tao take revenge on his opponent.

Qiu Suhui felt that Yang Pan and Zhang Jun, these two people, the Chinese team could not be missing. One has the qualities necessary for a professional player to lead by example, while the other has an infinite fighting spirit and an unyielding spirit that can spur his teammates on at all times and make them follow him forward.

This match against South Korea is the best proof of this. On their home turf, the South Korean team had no way to fight back. Yang Pan can stabilize the morale of the army, while Zhang Jun can bring passion to the team.

Qiu Suhui recalls the first time he saw the two in the Netherlands, with a steady and calm wide player sending the ball into the box with a pinpoint cross, while the other lit the fire in everyone's hearts with a powerful header. This is really a fateful arrangement......

Without them, there would be no later Qiu Suhui; Without them, there would definitely be no current Chinese team.

※※※

Next, the Chinese team will play Australia away, and this game has attracted much attention due to the difference in climate between the northern and southern hemispheres. However, Qiu Suhui feels that this is a good opportunity to adapt to the climate of the southern hemisphere, because next year's World Cup will be held in South Africa, so it is winter in June, and the traditional teams are mostly in the northern hemisphere, and whether these teams can adapt to the climate of the southern hemisphere is also a very interesting thing.

Qiu Suhui feels that a group with Australia solves this problem, and they can take advantage of the opportunity to experience the southern hemisphere climate and prepare for next year's World Cup.

As China have won two games and are currently top of the group, Australia are also very cautious, losing by one goal away to South Korea and winning at home to Kuwait in the second round, and the next game will be very crucial for them. Although the Chinese team has a strong momentum, Australia also hopes to win the Chinese team by virtue of home advantage.

Qiu Suhui still lined up the strongest squad in this game, and he also knew that the league was dense and the returnees needed to rest, but the best way to rest these players was to play as few games as possible, so it was crucial to be able to determine the qualifiers as soon as possible.

So you must give your full strength at the beginning and strive for a winning streak.

In this game, the strong Chinese team -- this is the evaluation given by the Australian domestic media -- did live up to the expectations of hundreds of millions of domestic TV viewers, and the passion of beating South Korea in the last game staged a perfect storm in Sydney, Australia.

Although they conceded a goal for the first time since the quarter-finals, the team won a tough away game 2-1. ended their first round with three consecutive wins, and the Chinese team, which has nine points, is currently at the top of Group A. The second-ranked South Korea team has six points, Australia is third with three points, and Kuwait has lost all three games, and the chances of qualifying for the World Cup are very, very slim.

Almost all the media, including foreign media, believe that the Chinese team will have no problem qualifying from this group. Now the Chinese team has shown a strong position in the qualifiers, and some people have even listed them as the number one dark horse in this World Cup.

After Qiu Suhui heard this kind of remarks, he said very disdainfully: "Dark horse? Can the Chinese team still be called a dark horse? ”

With the team's outstanding performance in the World Cup qualifiers, the Chinese players have gradually attracted more attention.

One of the most interesting is the upcoming quarter-final of the UEFA Champions League, with Fiorentina taking on Bayern Munich.

This was dubbed the Chinese Derby in the Champions Cup by the Chinese media.

Both sides of the game also attach great importance to this game, and those international players who participated in the World Cup qualifiers will go straight back to their countries to prepare as soon as the game is over.

Anke flew directly to Munich in Hong Kong, while Zhang Jun, Crewe, and Xiang Tao were even better.

The match against Australia has just ended, and their luggage has been delivered to the airport in Sydney, where the private jet of Ren Yudi, the boss behind the scenes of Florence, is already waiting on the runway of the airport. They changed in the locker room, took the bus to the airport, and then boarded the plane to leave Australia and fly directly to Pisa Airport near Florence.

Qiu Suhui looked at the empty hotel and sighed to Hu Li: "Many years ago, I thought that such a scene could only be seen in the training base in Europe, but I didn't expect that everything has become a reality now......

As if repeating a scene from a month ago, Jang Jun fell asleep again not long after the plane took off. Even Xiang Tao honestly rewinds jet lag, because they all know what the Champions Cup game means to the team, otherwise the chairman would not have sent a special plane to pick them up.

Neither the flight attendants nor the officials of the club bothered them. Because this is a rare moment of rest for them before a big war.
