Chapter 176: New Wembley Stadium
"Damn! Actually lagged behind! ”
After returning home in a hurry, I turned on the computer and saw that Yu Liang and King Dong were dumbfounded. www.biquge.info In the face of the weak Thailand, they actually lagged behind.
What is the level of the Thai national team, a country that does not even have a professional league, only a group of amateur players plays, and it is actually ahead of the Chinese team, which has always been known as the top four in East Asia. Not only does this sound incredible, but it can only be described as shocking. In the Thai National Stadium in Bangkok, the Chinese men's football team, which has a high regard for the Thai national team, seems to be unable to play. After the Thai players continued to pass horizontally, they actually tore apart the Chinese team's defense directly, and if it weren't for Li Leilei's dedication in front of the goal, they would have fallen behind 0-2 now.
"Maybe it's too hot in Bangkok!"
Looking at the weak performance of his teammates, King Dong said a reason why he sounded panicked.
Yu Liang glanced at King Dong.
King Dong was not selected for the national team's training list this time, and it was also good for the upcoming FA Cup final.
The reason why Thailand was selected as the last warm-up opponent before the Asian Cup is mainly due to the fact that the Asian Cup held in early July is held in Southeast Asia, so it can adapt to the climate of Southeast Asia in advance. At the same time, the Chinese team also has a Southeast Asian team in the same group, and the Southeast Asian teams have similar playing characteristics. The Chinese team warmed up with Thailand, and also wanted to take the opportunity to familiarize themselves with their playing style and characteristics.
When Yu Liang and the others came back, the game had been going on for more than 50 minutes, and in the following 30 minutes, although the Chinese team had been strengthening its attack, the midfield organization was chaotic and the forwards were weak. Even such a great opportunity as a set-piece could not be grasped, and in the end, the Chinese team lost 0-1 to the Thai team at the end of the game. Such a result cast a shadow on the Chinese team that is about to go to the Asian Cup.
"Don't worry! When it comes to the Asian Cup, with Brother Zhi and Brother Yi here, there will definitely be no problem with organization and scheduling! ”
Seeing the disappointment on Yu Liang's face, King Dong immediately comforted.
In fact, he comforted Yu Liang's wounded heart.
Since last year, he was expelled from the national team after being reported by a reporter from a certain wave of sports, and now it has been so long and there has been no opportunity to relax.
"Brother Zhi and Brother Yi must have no problem! But I'm afraid of the weather! ”
Yu Liang said angrily.
It's not terrible to lose, it's terrible to not recognize your shortcomings after losing. In post-match interviews, individual players of the national team attributed the loss to the humid and muggy weather, saying that the turf was slippery and difficult to get up to. And the head coach repeated what he said in an interview before the game, this game only looks at the process and does not look at the result. But what is there to watch in such a game?
From the very beginning of the game, the Chinese team was on the passive side, and the scolding on the Internet did not stop since the game began. Although many of them are brainless scolding, there are still many netizens who scold with their love for the national football team. There are even many netizens who immediately began to give advice after the game, how to play against Malaysia, how to play against Uzbekistan, and how to play against Iran. Although their strategy will not be adopted, they still discuss it in the evening, and they all throw out their football philosophy.
The poor performance of the Chinese team, although it has added to people's blockages, does not affect people's lives. People love football, but they love life even more. When the sun rises, everyone has to live their own lives step by step.
As race day approached, the laughter at Carrington's base was getting less. The game against Chelsea was not so easy. The head-to-head between Alex Ferguson and Jose Mourinho has been more win-win and more defeat-oriented, with both meetings this season ending in draws. After the pre-match press conference, Yu Liang and the rest of the team boarded a flight to London. The final will be played tomorrow at 3pm inside the new Wembley Stadium.
Wembley Stadium, no, it should be called the new Wembley Stadium, stands at Wembley in the northwest of London.
Wembley Stadium was built in 1923 as the home of the England national team and also hosted the final of all competitions in England, the first game played in the stadium was the FA Cup final.
In addition to the national team and the finals of various domestic competitions, the World Cup and the European Championship have also been hosted here. In this magical stadium, the English lifted their first ever World Cup title with a goal-line suspense. The Germans tasted the pain of losing the World Cup on this pitch, and they later tasted the title on the pitch, where they lifted the European Championship trophy in 1992 after 26 years of goal-line suspense.
In this magical stadium, five teams have been crowned kings of Europe.
They are AC Milan, Manchester United, Ajax, Liverpool and Barcelona.
By 2000, Wembley Stadium, which had been in operation for more than 100 years, was becoming more and more old, and although it was a football mecca, the old facilities could no longer meet the needs of today's football games, and reconstruction was imminent. Eventually, the FA decided to demolish the stadium, and with the demolition of the stadium, the iconic pair of white towers came to an end.
Following the demolition of Wembley Stadium, all of England's domestic finals were temporarily brought down at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff City.
Before the old Wembley Stadium was demolished, it hosted that year's FA Cup final. From the opening of the FA Cup final in 1923 to the curtain down on the FA Cup final in 2000, Wembley Stadium has experienced a cycle of fate, except that the teams facing each other in the two finals are different!
Time flies, and it has gone through seven years of reconstruction. The old Wembley Stadium is gone, and the new €1.3 billion Wembley Stadium is back in the area. The white twin towers, which have witnessed countless classic matches, have long since waved goodbye, and the rainbow hanging in the sky will witness the continuation of the glory of this new stadium.
The curtain call at the old Wembley Stadium was the 2000 FA Cup final between Chelsea and Aston Villa, and Chelsea lifted the trophy thanks to a goal from Matteo Di Matteo, and the glorious Chelsea witnessed the end of the life of a football mecca.
The opening match at the new Wembley Stadium was also the FA Cup final, with Chelsea taking on Manchester United. Wembley Stadium and Chelsea have been reborn in seven years, with the once-glorious Chelsea still going strong, although they have never lifted the FA Cup in the time they have been away from Wembley Stadium.
Now that the new Wembley Stadium is shining here, can the still strong Chelsea join it here? (To be continued.) )
