Chapter 169: Practicing in the early morning

The performance of the Quancheng team in Saudi Arabia was exposed by the media that night, and the media in China were a little disappointed with the first day of the Quancheng team in Saudi Arabia.

"The biggest shortcoming of the Spring City team is undoubtedly revealed in this preparation, they are still a young team after all. Both the manager and the players lack some major tournament experience. It's no secret that it's hot in Saudi Arabia, but the Springs team didn't make any preparations before leaving for Saudi Arabia, which caught them off guard by the Saudi Arabian weather. ”

"In the face of such drastic weather changes, the Springs team seemed a little overwhelmed. Their fighting spirit was exhausted by the hot weather in Saudi Arabia! ”

"Before the battle, the Quancheng team lost one city first, and the Quancheng team did not have any advantage in this game, is their AFC Champions League journey this season going to end here?" For the first time, such words were uttered by the Chinese media.

After the first round of the game, although the situation of the Quancheng team was very bad, the Chinese media did not lose confidence in the Quancheng team, and they have been encouraging and supporting the Quancheng team.

However, this time, there was a problem with the preparation of the Quancheng team, and the players in front of the camera looked listless, which caused the confidence of the Chinese media to suffer a serious blow.

They couldn't help but start thinking that the AFC Champions League journey of the Spring City team was going to be terminated after this game?

Huaxia resounded with a large number of voices singing for the Quancheng team, and even the "Huaxia Football Weekly", which has always been a strong supporter of the Quancheng team and Lin Qi, did not show any optimism in their reports.

"The Springs team is in a bad situation. But they made such a low-level mistake that they lacked accurate judgment of the weather in Saudi Arabia that the players were demoralized by the local weather after reaching the Etihad. ”

"It's true that the Springs team is still too young, they are good at creating miracles, but they have suffered a lot in terms of experience in the tournament. If the Qilu team went to Saudi Arabia to participate in the competition, they should not make this common-sense mistake, which should be the biggest gap between the Quancheng team and the Qilu team. ”

"But it doesn't matter, it's a surprise that Springs can reach the round of 16 of the AFC Champions League this season. We only hope that this preparation mistake will not affect the next games of the Spring City team, even if there is no AFC Champions League, they still have the title of the Chinese League to compete for. ”

"As for the AFC Champions League. The Springs team can fight again next year. At that point, I don't think they will make such mistakes again......" "Huaxia Football Weekly" gave the Quancheng team the greatest tolerance, and they said that even if the Quancheng team was eliminated after this game, it would be nothing. Because their results in the group stage are already brilliant enough.

For a relatively young team like Springs. They still have a chance in the AFC Champions League. There is no need to dwell on how good you have to do in this season's AFC Champions League.

"Huaxia Football Weekly" is looking for a way back for the failure of the Quancheng team, and they hope to use this kind of report to make the Quancheng team not too uncomfortable when they return to China after defeat......

The Springs team made a mistake in preparation. Some people are worried, and naturally some people are happy. Among them, the Qilu team showed a certain amount of joy.

After Lin Qi successfully led the Chinese youth team to win the World Youth Championship, the Qilu team regarded the Quancheng team as their fierce rival in the AFC Champions League.

And if this rival can be eliminated early, it will undoubtedly be a good thing for the Qilu team. As for whether the elimination of the Quancheng team will affect the honor of Chinese football, the Qilu team is not worried.

Because they are confident that they can easily win the championship of this AFC Champions League after the elimination of the Spring City team! At that time, no matter what honor Huaxia football has, it will be able to earn it back......

Speaking of which, the Qilu team feels that they still have to thank the Quancheng team, if they really win the AFC Champions League, then they really have to thank the Quancheng team.

Because the luck of the Spring City team in the AFC Champions League is too weak, and it is precisely because of this decline that the Spring City team was able to directly eliminate Seoul FC and Gamba Osaka, two teams that will pose a direct threat to the Qilu team, in the group stage.

On the road to the championship of the Qilu team, the Quancheng team played the role of a scavenger, and they eliminated two strong teams one after another, making the road to the championship of the Qilu team easier.

With the idea of being both happy and grateful, the Qilu team sat back and waited for the Quancheng team to be eliminated in the AFC Champions League......

In addition to the Qilu team, the fans and media from Saudi Arabia are the direct beneficiaries of the Spring City team's preparation mistakes.

The loss of fighting spirit of the Spring City team means that they can easily eliminate their opponents in tomorrow's game, while saving some energy for the rest of the game, which will undoubtedly make it easier for the Etihad team in the next AFC Champions League.

There is really no reason for Saudis to be unhappy.

The outside world is disturbing, and the Spring City team is gloomy at this time, and most of the Spring City team players also feel that they have little hope for tomorrow's game.

The Etihad team completely dominated the time and place in this game, and in any way, the Springs team did not seem to have any chance of advancing to the quarterfinals.

Some players have already resigned themselves to their fate, they just want to play tomorrow's game as soon as possible, and then hurry back to their home countries and leave this place that can heat people to death.

And among these players who accepted their fate, Lin Qi was not included!

Lin Qi has never been a player who will accept his fate, and compared to fate and luck, Lin Qi believes in his own strength and hard work.

He felt that as long as he continued to work hard, there would be no problem in winning this game, and the focus was on how to continue to work hard......

The hot weather in Saudi Arabia made Lin Qi feel very irritable, for Chen Song's considerations, Lin Qi really didn't dare to train too hard in this weather, heat stroke is not a joke, especially the day before the game, if Lin Qi falls ill, then the Quancheng team will probably not even have to play in tomorrow's game.

"If we can't train hard and we can't adapt to the environment in Saudi Arabia, are we really going to lose like this?" Lin Qi sat in his room, his brows furrowed, tonight's field adaptation training made Lin Qi very unhappy, although he was sweating all over his body, but it was all hot, not training......

To put it bluntly, Lin Qi was unhappy because he didn't have enough training today.

In Lin Qi's view, playing football is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, as long as you are lazy one day, then your state will decline slightly.

If there are too many days of laziness, let alone progress, it is difficult to maintain even the most basic state.

So now Lin Qi needs to train! He has to make up for his training and try to adapt to the Saudi Arabian weather.

It was not Lin Qi's character to sit still, he stared blankly at the night scene of Saudi Arabia outside the window, and from the flowing crowd, he could even feel a heat and dryness.

"How can I cool down?" Lin Qi frowned and thought, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"The coolest time should be the second half of the night, so let's train in the second half of the night!" Lin Qi thought like this, and couldn't wait to get into his bed, he had to go to bed early, and then get up in the second half of the night to train!

Before falling asleep, Lin Qi did not forget to tell Luo Ming and Xu Zhen that he was going to train in the second half of the night, Xu Zhen lived in the same room with Chen Biao, and Chen Biao decisively joined in after hearing Lin Qi's suggestion.

As a result, four people, four players who are crucial to the Spring City team, decided to have an extra training session in the second half of the night in Saudi Arabia!

At three o'clock in the morning, Lin Qi was woken up by the alarm clock he set, he tiptoed Luo Ming, Xu Zhen and Chen Biao up, and the four of them sneaked out of the hotel where the Quancheng team stayed.

At this time, there were not many people on the streets of Ittihad, and the four of Lin Qi appeared on the streets of Ittihad.

Saudi Arabia is still hot in the early hours of the morning, but much cooler than during the day and night. Such a temperature is just right for Lin Qi's training of the four people, they can not worry about heat stroke, and they can also achieve the purpose of adapting to the weather in Saudi Arabia.

The four of them sneaked into the stadium rented by the Spring City team, and they didn't know where to find the football and started the formal training.

At three o'clock in the morning, the light was not too bright, but this did not affect the training of Lin Qi and the four of them, especially Lin Qi and Luo Ming, the dim light did not seem to have any effect on the two of them.

They have long developed a tacit understanding in the long-term training, Luo Ming can pass the ball to Lin Qi's feet even if his eyes are closed, and Lin Qi can also receive Luo Ming's pass even if his eyes are closed.

The cooperation of Lin Qi and Luo Ming made Xu Zhen and Chen Biao feel deeply shocked, and they followed Lin Qi and Luo Ming to run continuously in the dark night, making the final preparations for the upcoming battle of life and death.

It wasn't until the sun slowly rose and the weather became hot again that the four of them sneaked back to the hotel. In addition to Lin Qi, Luo Ming, Xu Zhen and Chen Biao did not train intensively, which allowed them to form a good adaptation to the weather in Saudi Arabia without affecting their state of play tonight.

As for Lin Qi, although his training intensity seems to be a little excessive, for him, a top student on the court, the greater the intensity of training, the better his state will be! (To be continued......)
