"CCTV! Cctv! Hello spectators, fans, and friends! I'm the Liu Jianhong you know! Next to me is the familiar guidance of Xu Yangxu! The acceptance of the CCTV sports channel Yuan Liu Jianhong immediately said.
"Hello fans, spectators, everyone! I'm Xu Yang, and today I'll be talking about this game with Arrow Hongwei. Xu Yang, a guest commentator on CCTV's sports channel, also said immediately.
"Today we are bringing you the group stage of the 2011 Qatar Asian Cup, the second game of the first group, the match between our Chinese team and the Kuwait team." Liu Jianhong, a commentator on CCTV's sports channel, said.
In the opening match of this Asian Cup, the host Qatar team was unfavorable, losing 0-2 at home to Uzbekistan. Now Uzbekistan is at the top of the group, and of course, the first round of the group between China and Kuwait has not yet begun. Xu Yang, a guest commentator on CCTV's sports channel, said.
"The Uzbek team showed a very strong performance in the first round of the group, and Qatar did not have a very good performance in front of them, and the Uzbekistan team was obviously the biggest opponent of the Chinese team in this group." Liu Jianhong, a commentator on CCTV's sports channel, said.
"Yes! The strength of the Uzbekistan team is very strong, so the result of this match between the Chinese team and the Kuwait team is very important, if the Chinese team can not win this game, then it will be very difficult for the Chinese team to qualify from the group. Xu Yang, a guest commentator on CCTV's sports channel, said.
"Yes, because the host Qatar team is also a very difficult team to deal with, and the strength of the Uzbekistan team is so strong, the Chinese team must defeat the Kuwait team." Liu Jianhong, a commentator on CCTV's sports channel, said.
"The strength of the Kuwait team is also very strong, especially since they are still the champions of the Gulf Cup, and the Kuwait team should not be underestimated." Xu Yang, a guest commentator on CCTV's sports channel, said.
"Now the Chinese team is ranked 87th in the world, while Kuwait is ranked 102nd in the world, and we have a very big advantage in this aspect. But it's not just about the number of games in football that can determine a qiē. Liu Jianhong, a commentator on CCTV's sports channel, said.
"In history, the Chinese team and the Kuwait team have played each other 16 times, and the Chinese team has a slight advantage with six wins, five draws and five losses. However, in the four meetings in the Asian Cup, the Chinese team won one, drew two and lost one, and did not occupy any good advantages. Xu Yang, a guest commentator on CCTV's sports channel, said.
"So, the Kuwait team is not as easy to deal with as everyone thinks, this game is definitely a very difficult game, I hope our lads can show our strength and confidence, fight well with Kuwait, and try to win this game." Liu Jianhong, a commentator on CCTV's sports channel, said.
At this time, the red bus of the Chinese team arrived at the Al Gallafa Stadium, and the Chinese fans at the scene immediately shouted loudly: "Forever Oriental Dragon!" Soaring Oriental Dragon! ”
The players of the Chinese team immediately came down from above, all of them were very energetic, and it could be seen that their spirits were very good, and it seemed that they still had some confidence in this game.
And when Dongfang Chen got off the bus, he still had the heart to wave to the Chinese fans who greeted them, which showed that Dongfang Chen was very confident.
The Kuwaiti team's bus came to the Al Al-Ghalafah Stadium one step ahead of the Chinese team, and now the players from both sides have arrived at the scene, and the game is about to start.
When warming up in the stadium, the Chinese fans on the scene shouted Dongfang Chen's name loudly, which made Dongfang Chen very excited, waving to the Chinese fans, the atmosphere at the scene was very warm, and it was pushed to the peak all of a sudden.
The players from both sides then returned to their dressing rooms, all listening to the manager's final tactical set-up.
In the locker room of the Chinese team, Gao Hongbo sat in front of the tactical board.
Gao Hongbo told the Chinese players: "We have a very strong opponent in this game, I think you all know that. Now I'm going to talk about our tactics, defending and counterattacking! ”
Gao Hongbo has said these things many times in his previous training and preparation, but here, he still emphasized it again, which shows that he cares about this very much.
Gao Hongbo continued: "When defending, we must pay attention to the position between our teammates, keep the same pace, maintain a good formation, and the distance between the two people must not be too large, giving the opponent a chance to be light, you know?" ”
The players of the Chinese team immediately nodded their heads, indicating that they already knew.
Gao Hongbo continued: "Also, when defending, you must pay attention to the two people in the Kuwaiti team, one is Mutawa and the other is Ennazi. I think you know very well about these two people, you must defend them, don't give them a chance. ”
The players of the Chinese team naturally know Mutawa and Nnazi. At the age of 25, he is the top scorer in the Gulf Cup and is ranked third in the 2010 World Team Goalscorer Rankings published by the International Football History and Statistics Association.
Needless to say, this guy is the best player in the Gulf Cup, and his scoring ability is also very good, and these two are definitely Kuwait's attacking source. Naturally, the players of the Chinese team will not let these two guys go, and the Chinese team must keep an eye on these two guys.
Gao Hongbo continued: "When we counterattack, we try to walk on the ground, pass the football up, minimize our own individual breakthroughs, pass the football down, cooperate, and counterattack in a group attack mode, you know? ”
Before the game, Gao Hongbo said in front of reporters and media that their tactics in this game will be based on high-altitude balls, using the advantage of headers to solve the Kuwait team in the air.
However, it is clear that Gao Hongbo has another set of tactics now. In fact, Gao Hongbo has always adhered to the ground offensive style of play after accepting the Chinese team.
The players of the Chinese team immediately nodded their heads, indicating that they were already clear.
Gao Hongbo suddenly glanced up at Dongfang Chen again, and said, "The target of our counterattack is very clear-Dongfang!" In the final link of the counterattack, I don't limit you to just walking on the ground, whatever way is appropriate, you know? ”
Dongfang Chen's heading ability and impact are very strong, Gao Hongbo naturally will not give up any aspect of Dongfang Chen's advantages, so he made such an arrangement.
Dongfang Chen and the players of the Chinese team immediately stood up and said loudly: "Got it, coach!" ”
Gao Hongbo was very satisfied, then stood up, waved his big hand, and said, "Boys, for the sake of victory, let's go!" ”
The players of the Chinese team rushed out of the locker room and into the tunnel of the players.
On the other hand, in the dressing room in Kuwait, Kuwaiti head coach Tufigzic is writing and drawing on the tactical board.
Tufigzic then turned to his men and said: "Remember, our goal in this game is the next one, and that is to win. In order to win, our tactics were to attack, to attack from the very beginning of the game. ”
In the locker room, Tufigejic did not show weakness as he did in front of media reporters, and it is clear that the current Tufigzic does not take the Chinese men's football team seriously.
Tufigzic said: "The strength of the Chinese team is actually not very strong, we have played against them so many times, we already know them very well. Their strength may still be there, close to the top in Asia, but their psychological quality is definitely very poor. ”
Tufigzic continued: "That's why they had a good result in the friendly in the warm-up and then completely collapsed when they got to the tournament. Also, there is a lot of pressure on the Chinese players, which affects their performance, so this is our chance. ”
Tufigzic said: "So, the Chinese team is actually not that difficult to deal with. As long as we show our strength, it should not be difficult to win the Chinese team. I want you to show what you're capable of. ”
The Kuwaiti players immediately shouted, "Don't worry, boss!" We will definitely make the Chinese team look good! ”
After thinking for a moment, Tufigejic continued: "However, you still have to pay attention, pay attention to the defense. The strength of the Chinese team is still there, especially for Dongfang Chen's defense, this point must be strangled to death, and I will definitely not be able to give him any chance, you know? ”
The Kuwaiti players all know how powerful Dongfang Chen is, and they don't dare to underestimate Dongfang Chen, especially the Kuwaiti defensive players, who nod their heads sternly.
Tufigzic was relieved to see that his players nodded in understanding. He then raised his hand and motioned for the Kuwaiti players to play. The Kuwaiti players then rushed out of the dressing room and into the tunnel of the players.
When the Kuwaiti players rushed to the players' tunnel, the Chinese players were already standing somewhere, waiting for the start of the game.
At this time, Dongfang Chen of the Chinese team was chatting with Williams, the referee of the game.
The referee team who officiated this game came from Australia, and the referee was Australian Williams, who still had some ties to the Chinese team.
In this Asian Games, he officiated the match between the Chinese Olympic team and the Malaysian Olympic team, in that game, Williams showed three red cards and nine Chinese cards to the players of the Malaysian Olympic team, except for the goalkeeper, the Malaysian players all ate cards for Williams's injury. After the game, the referee in Malaysia frantically accused Williams and even cursed that Williams had a brain problem.
The first and second assistant referees for today's match are both from Australia, they are Wilson and Arnaz respectively, while the fourth official is Faghani from Iran.
At this time, Williams, the referee of the game, looked at his watch, and he immediately said to Dongfang Chen: "Go back and prepare, we are about to play, and the game is about to start." ”
Dongfang Chen nodded immediately, and then returned to his team, signaling the players of the Chinese team to stand in position, and the game was about to start.
