Chapter 711: Japanese Fans Who Feel Fear
Arlo arrived in Yokohama at 7 o'clock on the evening of the 8th, and as with the usual return team, the national team held a press conference at the hotel where he was staying.
The 2010 South Africa World Cup Asian Top 10 Group A match attracted the attention of the whole of Asia, so there were countless reporters who came to the scene, but most of the media from the two countries of the game were the media, and the other Asian media belonged to the role of soy sauce, by the way.
The first person to be asked by the press officer of the Chinese team was a middle-aged reporter from the famous Australian newspaper "Sydney Morning Post".
"What is the goal of the Chinese national team in this game?"
The question was asked to Gao Hongbo, but he didn't answer, but looked at Ailuo, the meaning he wanted to express was very obvious, and it was best for him to answer this question.
Iroh is not pretentious, nor does he show the fatigue of a long-distance flight, and the whole person is very energetic: "I always have only one goal in the competition, and that is to win!" ”
Really!
With the exception of the Sydney Morning Post reporter who asked the question, all the reporters present guessed the content of Ielloh's answer.
"Is there any other goal besides victory?"
This question was asked by the South Korean media "Nikkan Sports", and with previous references, the young reporter, who looks very Oba, asked directly to Iroh.
"Except for victory?" Ai Luo raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at the Korean reporter meaningfully, and then said slowly: "Big victory!" ”
"Yaga!!"
As soon as the words fell, the reporter of the local "Asahi Shimbun" in Japan did not hold back for a while, and scolded directly.
At the same time, the Japanese reporters who came to the scene felt unhappy, the strength of their Japanese team has been above all the national teams in Asia over the years, and they will not fall behind when playing against European first- and second-rate teams, and they can also gain local advantages in the midfield, so the Japanese Football Association has been shouting the slogan of 'leaving Asia and joining Europe'.
Indirectly, the Japanese media recognized the strength of the national team very much, and this time it was not pleasant to hear that Airoh's Chinese team was going to win at home in Japan, but what they didn't expect was that it was even more unhappy to come.
If you want to win in Japan, you even fantasize about a big victory!
Do you really think that you feel like you are the first in the world by beating Australia in the Asian Top 20 qualifiers?
Compared with the unhappiness and anger of the Japanese media, the Chinese media rarely feels the eyebrows raised.
The members of the national team who came to Yokohama, Japan this time can be said to be very luxurious, except for Napoli's Chen Tao and Levante's Wu Xi who stayed in the club to recuperate, the other players came to Yokohama, Japan intact, it can be said that it is the strongest lineup, and it should not be a big problem to win the Japanese team away.
Moreover, among the players in Europe this time, the number of Chinese team is more than twice that of the Japanese team.
It is worth mentioning that the Chinese team's European internationals all play in Europe's top leagues, while Japan's four players in Europe except for Makoto Hasebe who plays for Wolfsburg and Takayuki Morimoto of Catania, the other two players do not play in the top league.
In fact, as early as the beginning of February, Chinese fans began to boil, many fans turned over old accounts, five years ago in the Asian Cup held in Beijing, the Japanese team in the final was by virtue of Koji Nakata's 'hand of God' to exceed the score, the Chinese team collapsed for the rest of the second half, otherwise it is still undecided.
The so-called new hatred and old hatred, this time we have to repay it once!
In the eyes of the Chinese, this is a great opportunity for revenge, the national team is strong, and at the same time there is the world footballer Aylo in charge, it can be said that winning the game is a matter of minutes!
Of course, there are also a lot of national feelings mixed in, and as we all know, China and Japan have a deep blood feud in history.
Although many people say that playing football in its purest form keeps politics away from football, how can they leave it behind when they are really facing the sworn enemy of history?
Didn't the world of sports say that competitive competition was 'war in times of peace'?
Faced with the anger of the Japanese media, Iroh just glanced at it, then turned his head to look at the press officer.
The press officer's point of interest is the next reporter.
Interestingly, this time it happened to be the Japanese media "Tokyo Sports News".
In the minds of all the Japanese reporters on the scene, their national team is the strongest, so when he heard that Ailo was going to defeat the Japanese national team in Yokohama, the elderly reporter of "Tokyo Sports News" instinctively felt unhappy, but out of excellent control ability, he forcibly suppressed it.
Now that you have the opportunity to ask questions directly, how can you let it go?
So he looked up directly and asked provocatively, "What if we win?" ”
"No, it's us who wins!"
The voice was not loud, but all the reporters who came to the scene heard it very clearly, and in order to make it understandable to all reporters, Iroh still spoke the international standard English.
Immediately, there was an uproar at the scene.
"Why?" The old reporter glared at Iroh.
"Because I do what I say!"
This answer almost made the veteran reporter of the Tokyo Sports Newspaper vomit blood.
In order to cause unnecessary trouble, the press officer did not call on the foreign media again, and the rest of the places were given to the well-known media in the cabinet, and then the press conference was announced.
Overall, the press conference was relatively successful, laying a good foundation for the Chinese team before the World Cup qualifiers.
※※※
Matches between China and Japan have never been a bit of a preoccupation, but the press conference held by Arlo when he arrived in Yokohama was an exception.
However, in the final analysis, it is the Japanese media themselves who are weak-minded.
With the rise of Iello, more and more of China's football talents have been sent to Europe to polish their talents, and in the past four years, many players have shown their outstanding side, as evidenced by Wu Xi, who finished fourth in the European Golden Boy Award last year.
Coupled with the disparity in the strength of the players in Europe, the confidence that the Japanese media should have completely disappeared.
I wanted to use Iroh's press conference to find confidence, but I didn't expect things to go beyond their expectations.
The third round of Group A of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa seems to be heading in an unpredictable direction......
At the regular press conference before the game, Japan's local head coach Takeshi Okada expressed full confidence in the next game: "We are the first in Asia, and the Chinese team is only the third in Asia, so it must be our Japanese team that wins this game!" ”
Countless Chinese reporters who came to the scene could only roll their eyes helplessly in the face of the Japanese head coach's answer, and they realized for the first time that the Japanese head coach's IQ was so 'high'......
The third round of the World Cup qualifiers between the Japanese national team and the Chinese national team was played at 7:30 p.m. Japan time on the 12th, that is, at 6:30 p.m. Beijing time.
According to incomplete statistics, the Chinese fans who watched the Chinese team's away challenge to the Japanese team in this World Cup qualifier even surpassed the Chinese Olympic team against the Argentine Olympic team in the Olympic men's semifinals.
For Japan, Chinese fans feel hatred from the heart.
That history of blood and tears can never be erased!
Since the football game is called the 'war in the era of peace', what awaits this strong Chinese team to crush the Japanese team, which is now the 'boss of Asia'!
In fact, since the draw results of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa in September last year came out, countless older generation of Chinese fans have begun to look forward to this game.
Japan's qualitative progress began in 1992 at the Asian Cup, when Japan won its first Asian Cup title by eliminating China in the semi-finals and then beating Saudi Arabia by home advantage in the final.
However, it was because of the encouragement of this championship that Hideo Shimada, the seventh president of the Japanese Football Association, began to draft the "Centennial Dream of Japanese Football" with the help of the Japanese team winning the Asian Cup, which is commonly known as the "Centennial Plan", starting from the defeat in the 1994 Asian Qualifiers for the World Cup in the United States, Japan's Centennial Plan has been fully implemented, and the start of the J League has also brought Japanese football into the fast lane.
In the semi-finals of the Asian Cup in Lebanon in 2000, the two teams met in a narrow way, and the Japanese team defeated the Chinese team 3:2 to enter the final, and finally defeated Saudi Arabia 1:0, winning the second Asian Cup championship in the history of Japanese football, laying the foundation for their future domination in Asia.
Four years later, in China's home Asian Cup, Japan defeated the Chinese team again to defend the Asian Cup championship with the help of the referee.
However, it is undeniable that Japan did have the strength to win the championship at that time, so it was announced that Japan would become the new hegemon of Asian football.
It's just that a year later, the World Youth Championships in the Netherlands gradually shattered the beautiful dreams of the Japanese......
So this World Cup qualifier is the game that Chinese fans have been waiting for for a long time, and they firmly believe that ...... As the captain of the Chinese team, Ailuo will definitely lead the team to a big victory over the Japanese team!
A few hundred years ago, they could be scared, and in a football game hundreds of years later, they could also be beaten to Japan!
What is Koreanophobia, Japanphobia, Iranophobia...... All tm go to hell!
Because of a series of remarks that affected the confidence of the Japanese team before the game, he was booed by nearly 50,000 Japanese fans as soon as he appeared at the Yokohama International Arena to warm up.
But these boos have no effect on Iro, who has won the World Footballer of the Year and European Footballer of the Year twice, and from another point of view, there is also an incentive effect!
This time, though, he didn't wait for the game to break out like in the Europa League, but turned around and gave a thumbs up to a blue area as he walked from the players' tunnel to the plastic track, and then slammed it down in amazement from the fans.
Immediately, there was another huge wave of boos, which resounded throughout the stadium.
Of course, there are also sporadic Japanese national curses.
In Eloh's mind, this is a sign of their fear.
Suffer death...... Japanese scum!
