The day before the friendly match, the players of the Guangzhou Red Devils Football Club flew to Changchun City en masse, and the whole team stayed in a hotel not far from the stadium.

"This year's Changchun team is really interesting, and we have found a woman to be the head coach." Xiao Liu, the translator of the Guangzhou Red Devils, said while flipping through the newspaper.

"Remember, never underestimate your opponent, it's not about gender, it's not about resume." Simeone, the Italian head coach of the Guangzhou Red Devils, said to Xiao Liu, "The more you underestimate the opponent, the more they will bite you the moment you let your guard down." ”

"Remember, manager." Xiao Liu nodded seriously.

"Hehe, we're red devils, no matter what kind of opponent we meet, we have to eat them." Simeone said, staring at the photo of the South Pearl in the newspaper.

At this time, at the FC Changchun Club, Nan Mingzhu asked Xiao Guo: "Is it all arranged in Guangzhou?" ”

"It's arranged, it's convenient to live right next to the stadium." Xiao Guo replied, and then she muttered to herself, "Red Devil, this name is really awkward, it is called Guangzhou Red Devil and is so domineering." ”

"What are you muttering about?" Nan Mingzhu asked.

"Oh, it's nothing, Sister Nan, I was thinking, the other party is a team that has won four consecutive championships, and there are also striker Yang Lin, midfielder Ma Ming, defender Sun Haifeng, these international players, plus foreign aid or something. Can we win? Xiao Guo asked worriedly.

'At the moment, the players are doing better than I expected, so I don't have to worry about it, and they will definitely get something out of this friendly game.' Nan Mingzhu said confidently.

The next day, the Changchun Stadium, which can accommodate 50,000 people, was full, although it was the home of the Changchun team, but because of the arrival of the Guangzhou Red Devils, the majority of fans wanted to see the style of the championship team.

Although it is winter, the Changchun Stadium has a closed roof and an advanced heating system, so that the fans and players on the scene will not feel cold.

At this time, in the locker room of the Changchun team, Nan Mingzhu looked at the various expressions of the players with a smile, some were nervous, some were excited, and some were hesitant.

"Anyway, just be able to play as a starter." Right winger Ren Xiaotian thought so.

"How can we do this tactic? Tell me more! Niu Zhuang looked at Nan Mingzhu and shouted.

"Score, score, I've got to score." Qiu Xing kept rubbing his hands to himself.

"Uh...... "......Qin Song looked at his teammates at the scene, not knowing whether to say something or nothing.

"Xiao Nan, I'm about to play, let's say something." Assistant coach Lao Wang came over and said to Nan Mingzhu.

"Everyone, be quiet!" Nan Mingzhu motioned to the team members to listen to her, "We have done a good job in the previous drill, and after this month's intensive training, your state is better than I expected." Whether it was the substitution player beating the main player at the beginning, or the discussion at the symposium later, it was better than I thought. ”

Nan Mingzhu first fully affirmed the players.

"With your confidence, today is just a friendly before the new season and my prediction is a draw. With my tactical set-up, we can draw with the champions, and after that, if you want to win, it's up to you to get ahead of yourself. ”

At this time, the sound of the game about to start was heard on the radio, urging the players of both sides to enter the preparation tunnel.

"Let's go!" Nan Mingzhu said to the players, and then opened the door and walked out first.

In the Player Preparation Tunnel, players from both teams stand in a row and prepare to play.

At this time, Yang Lin, the striker of the Guangzhou team, came to Luo Tailai's side: "How's the preparation, brother?" ”

"Xiao Yangzi, don't be arrogant, watch us beat you." Rotailai replied.

"It's quite a big change between this year and last year, so let's show me what changes have been made." After speaking, the two shook hands cordially.

Competitive competition is like this, many people go on the field, that is, fight for a life-and-death opponent, but in private, they are friends, confidants, and people who know each other best.

"Now, let's invite players from both sides to enter!" The host shouted loudly.

With the cheers of the fans, the players of both sides entered.

"Look, look!"

"Captain Changchun has really changed!"

According to convention, the first player on both sides should be the captain of the team, Guangzhou Red Devils is midfielder Ma Ming on the side, and FC Changchun is goalkeeper Jiang Bo, and the captain's armband is naturally worn on his left arm.

"What a South Pearl, it's really good!" The fans in the audience, including the fan president Wang Dapeng, immediately gritted their teeth with hatred.

"Please stand and play the national anthem!"

The 50,000 fans stood together and sang the "March of the Volunteers" loudly, and the scene was quite spectacular.

After the national anthem, the coaches of both sides shook hands on the sidelines.

"Nan Gui, please give me a lot of advice." Simeone held out his hand as he spoke.

"Coach Simeone, I heard that Italian men are synonymous with romance and grace, and I hope you can be merciful in the face of my female opponent." Nan Mingzhu said with a sweet smile in return, and stepped forward to shake Simone's hand.

The photographers on the side rushed up to seize the opportunity to take pictures.

"Director Nan said with a smile, although this is a warm-up game, but I will compare it as a league. Take all your strength to face your opponent, this is the demeanor of a man. Hahaha......" Simone smiled happily.

"Okay, let's wait and see." After saying that, both sides walked back to the coach's seat.

Looking at the back of Nan Mingzhu leaving, Simeone was wondering: The captain and most of the main force have been changed, what kind of special tactic is this?

And Nan Mingzhu is also thinking: Haha, old man, my team has changed a lot, so you can't guess my thoughts, think about it~

The host at the scene finished introducing the starters of Guangzhou Red Devils and began to introduce the starters of FC Changchun.

Today's starting line-up for FC Changchun is:

Forward: Qiu Xing

Midfielders: Wang Mingjian, Luo Tailai, Zhang Chenhang, Qin Song, Ren Xiaotian

Defenders: Zhao Jialin, Niu Zhuang, Gao Shan, Shi Kai

Goalkeeper: Jiang Bo

"That's a lot of people."

'A lot of them are young players,' he said.

"Use this lineup to fight against the Guangzhou Red Devils who play with the main force, I don't know if I can withstand it?"

The reporters in the media area also started a discussion, after all, this is the first game since Nan Mingzhu took office, and the attention is still very high.

At this time, the players on the field are also ready, Guangzhou is on this side, and the captain Ma Ming is cheering everyone up: "The other party is a weak team, but we can't relax our vigilance, take out the usual training attitude, be serious and concentrated!" ”

On the side of the Changchun team, Jiang Bo, as the captain, also simply said a few words to boost morale.

Both players then quickly moved into their respective positions.

With the referee's whistle, the friendly match between FC Changchun and Guangzhou Red Devils officially began!
