Chapter 268: Red Crowd

Before the game even began, the road leading to Helong Stadium was so crowded with people and traffic that Changsha police had to implement traffic control at the main intersections around Helong Stadium, forcing fans arriving by car to park in a regulated parking lot away from the stadium and then walk to the stadium while encouraging people to take public transportation to watch the game. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The media's main focus before the game was on filming the fans entering the stadium.

CCTV has also set up a camera position at a high place to shoot panoramic views.

Not to mention, the picture taken in this way is really better.

Looking down from the air, with Helong Stadium as the center, the streets around are full of red people - the Chinese team is playing at home in this game, they chose the red jersey, and the Chinese fans naturally chose to wear the red jersey to watch the game, creating a warm atmosphere like fire.

Think about it nine years ago, when the Chinese team met the Japanese team in the Asian Cup final, the Chinese commentators also had to call on everyone in the media to wear white clothes to cheer for the Chinese team and create an atmosphere - the Chinese team's home jersey was white at that time.

Now there is no need for the media to appeal, everyone consciously knows how to cheer for their team.

In the past nine years, Chinese fans have become more and more internationalized, but the level of Chinese football has not yet reached that point, that is, in the last two or three years, the situation has improved.

Looking at such a spectacular picture, the reporter in front of CCTV was very excited: "...... These fans are like red dragons, singing songs, and walking towards Helong Stadium!"

There is a special area outside the stadium, which is a small blue area from the air, and the red backlog is like a boat in a stormy sea, ready to capsize at any moment - the Japanese fans who have come to support their team.

The number of people is not very large, and most of them are Japanese students in China and some staff of Japanese-funded institutions.

Due to the grievances between China and Japan, the Changsha police have also made careful arrangements and arrangements. First of all, Japanese fans must act collectively and not leave the team alone, because it is not convenient for the police to manage and protect it. Secondly, they are not allowed to come into contact with Chinese fans, and they are isolated by human walls and iron fences. Thirdly, there is a special passage for them to check in and enter a special grandstand area, surrounded by police and security guards, who have to watch the game under such strict protection the whole time.

This is of course to protect them, but at the same time it also limits their numbers and creates a tense atmosphere for Japanese fans, so that they dare not speak out.

However, this is an away game, and as a fan of the away team, it is natural to have the consciousness of being a man with his tail between his legs.

Fortunately, the Japanese are very disciplined, so they are also very quiet in the midst of heavy protection. They just watched the passionate Chinese fans walk past them, singing songs they didn't understand, and big smiles on their faces.

Such a scene, they rarely see it on Chinese fans, which is somewhat strange and surprising.

Japanese fans may not be able to understand why Chinese fans have such expressions.

It is not easy for relaxed and excited expressions to appear on the faces of Chinese fans - in the past, if Chinese fans behaved relaxed, they would most likely be slapped in the face by the results of municipal competitions. Especially when playing against Asian powerhouses like Japan and South Korea, the reaction is more of a worry - a fear of losing. The pressure is enormous.

And now, the performance of the Chinese team has given them confidence.

Qualifying for the World Cup finals ahead of schedule has reassured many Chinese fans. Coupled with the advantage of the Chinese team and the Japanese team in the group stage rankings, even if the Chinese team draws in this game, they will still be the first in the group.

This is the last game of the Japanese team in the top 10, and the Chinese team has one more game, so the first place in this group will be relatively easy for the Chinese team.

Chinese fans certainly have a reason to relax.

In addition to the Chinese media reports before the game, many Japanese media also came to Helong Stadium for live broadcasting, and the large number of Chinese fans brought a great impact to Japanese reporters and Japanese fans in front of the TV.

China has always been a big country in the minds of the Japanese. Where is a big country embodied? The most intuitive manifestation is the population.

The host at the back of the Nippon TV station looked at the various images coming from the front and introduced to the guests present and the audience in front of the TV: "It is said that 60,000 fans will go to watch this game, and the number of people watching this live broadcast in China is conservatively estimated to be nearly 100 million!"

The guests made typical "Japanese exaggerated" expressions and sighed again and again: "...... It's incredible!

With a total population of more than 120 million, Japan is the 10th largest country in the world. And this game was watched by almost the entire population of Japan, which really shocked them.

"That's pretty much it...... The whole country watched it, right?" asked one guest.

"For Japan, that's it, haha!" the host made a joke.

"It's unbelievable...... China is truly a big country!"

"Yes, you know, even if 100 million people watch this game, it is only one-fourteenth of the Chinese......"

The bus used by the Chinese national team arrived at the stadium an hour and a half before the game. It's already surrounded by fans.

Everyone came all the way, and all eyes were full of Chinese fans in red. After seeing the bus of the Chinese team, the Chinese fans will wave and cheer to them, and raise the scarves of the Chinese team in their hands to express their support for the team.

This is simply the general treatment of the head of state for the players of the Chinese team.

This kind of treatment was rarely available before.

The people who watched were full of blood.

Sun Pan almost put his face on the window glass of the car, and kept waving to the fans outside, and he said excitedly: "This is how the old man should be!

"It's motivation, but it's also pressure...... someone sighed after hearing him say this.

"What are you afraid of pressure? It's normal to be under pressure!" Sun Pan was very excited -- he was crazy, and the more people there were, the more excited he became, and the more excited he was, the better his state would be. So he is not afraid of pressure, nor is he afraid of crowds.

After the bus was well at the designated place, the doors slowly opened, and the cheers outside were amplified tenfold into the car.

Assistant coach Fu Bo jumped out of the car as soon as possible, and then beckoned the players to get off at the door, and reminded them loudly: "Don't delay, go to the locker room to change clothes and prepare to warm up!"

He had to raise his voice and roar hoarsely - he was afraid that if he was quiet, the players would not be able to hear it, and the fans outside were so enthusiastic and crazy. Although the armed police are responsible for maintaining order, the armed police can only ensure that no one rushes over, but they cannot block the sound.

But don't say it, such a huge momentum made him, the assistant coach of the national team, a little excited-such a scene is really enough to brag about for a lifetime!

Under the greeting of the assistant coach, the players of the national team got off the bus at one time, some wore headphones and pretended to be cool, some waved to the fans frequently, and some felt the pressure, and their expressions and movements were a little stiff.

However, they didn't stay outside for long, and everyone quickly disappeared from the fans and sight, with only a few photojournalists from a few media outlets following them.

Not long after the arrival of the Chinese team, the bus of the Japanese team also arrived, and they did not have the treatment of the Chinese team. Apart from the media, fans don't care when the Japanese team comes.

Not long after the two teams arrived at the stadium, fans began to check in their tickets.

The Helong Stadium, which can accommodate 60,000 people, is rapidly filling up little by little.

Chinese fans also learned from the "advanced experience" of foreign fans and made a huge TIFO, which was brought into the stadium and laid out on the south stand.

When the players of the Chinese and Japanese teams entered the warm-up, the fans were still busy hanging TIFO on the railing.

There was a burst of cheers at the scene, only to make the busy they found that the players of the two teams came out to warm up, and many of them just glanced back at the stadium, and quickly accelerated the movements in their hands - this TFIO, which has consumed countless efforts and time, must be made before the start of the game, and when the time comes, it will be necessary to show the enthusiasm and talent of their Changsha fans to the people of the whole country.
