Grass roots glory

Chapter 667

The China-Korea battle is also the focus of the AFC's attention. The other two top Asian teams in the other group, Japan and Australia, have already confirmed that they will get two tickets to directly qualify for the World Cup. Relatively speaking, the Chinese team and the South Korean team The A group where is the focus.

For both teams, this game can determine fate.

The Chinese team needs a point to ensure that they will qualify for the World Cup and will not repeat the tragic history of "one foot into the World Cup" in history, while the situation of the South Korean team is completely different.

They are now five points away from Uzbekistan, which is ranked third in the standings. There is no hope of directly winning the top two in the group. Compete for the remaining half of the tickets.

But not to mention whether Uzbekistan, which has played one more round, will lose at home to Qatar, which has already been eliminated early. It is not easy for the South Korean team to win two consecutive victories-the Chinese team is enough to cause them trouble first.

Even the AFC officials are more optimistic about the Chinese team in the preview on the homepage.Although the South Korean team was fighting at their own home court in this game, the AFC did not save face for the Koreans this time. Just a title-"Tiger Killing in the Nightmare Land of the New King of Asia?" is enough to show their attitude ——

"Taichi Tiger Korea may have to say goodbye to Brazil. This time they don't even have a chance to show themselves in Brazil. Their lives are hanging by a thread and they will play at home against the Chinese team, which is about to represent Asia in the Confederations Cup. A pair of Asian football In the confrontation between old enemies, the South Korean team will face the aggressive Chinese team led by Zhou Tiancheng, who will return to the World Cup stage after 12 years and fight for hundreds of millions of Chinese fans."

The official forward-looking position of the AFC is very clear, which makes Chinese reporters and fans feel uncomfortable.

This wave of compliments came unexpectedly.

This has greatly enhanced the confidence of the reporters - we always feel that there are people in the DPRK and China who are easy to handle. It seems that in the past it was just our own weak strength. You must know that even though Zhang Jilong'Long Ge' is at the top of the AFC, the right to speak has always been They are not as good as South Korea, but they have Chung Mong-joon, who once served as the vice president of FIFA, and they are not as good as Japan, which is superior in its own strength and controls the referee committee of the AFC. Of course, it is not as good as a group of oil tycoons in West Asia.

But it turns out that football is a very simple game.Strength determines everything.

However, the Chinese fans were terrified, and joked under the news reprinted by the domestic media: We don’t need AFC milk, as long as your AFC doesn’t send referees to hack us, we will be thankful... Well, for example, that Qatari Mr. Sang, don't bother him.

……

The South Korean team has participated in seven consecutive World Cups since 1986. So far they are the team with the most World Cup participations in Asia, but now they look difficult to continue to maintain the record of eight consecutive times.

The Koreans are naturally not reconciled. The World Cup can be without Japan, let alone China, but how can we miss the Republic of Korea?

So it starts with the arrival of the Chinese team in Seoul.He was "warmly received" by the Koreans.

……

According to the team's plan on the first day, the Chinese reporters waited at the stadium at three o'clock in the afternoon, before the home team's training was over. But by four o'clock in the afternoon, the South Korean team had already left for an hour. Everyone thought that the team temporarily canceled the training, and when they were about to leave, the players and coaching staff of the Chinese team hurried over with exhausted bodies.

Seeing this state, the reporters were a little stunned. Could it be that the whole team was going to be a general security guard in broad daylight?
But Lippi shouldn't...

If it weren't for the fact that the old men on the coaching staff were in the same state, the reporters would really think that many bad habits in the domestic football arena would revive in this national team.Moreover, the expression on Lippi's face was not right-the whole black face.

Reporters from CCTV and "Sports Weekly" who are close to the national team carefully interviewed Lippi. Although the old man didn't want to affect the state of the players, he obviously couldn't suppress his anger, and his tone was extremely angry: "I have been a coach for so many years and have led different teams to countless away games, but I must say that even Naples, which is the most unfriendly to the visiting team, would never have such behavior. It is very unprofessional! But That doesn't change our goal of coming here to qualify for the World Cup!"

Lippi did not explain the ins and outs in detail, but the reporters keenly discovered the clues: what made the old man so angry was probably the Koreans using some indiscriminate tricks.

To be honest, Chinese journalists have long been prepared for this point.If this kind of game doesn't come with some out-of-the-box tricks, are they still Koreans?

Even Spain, Portugal and Italy can be blacked out, and even a top star like Totti can be given a red card, let alone the Chinese team?

It's just that this time the Chinese Football Association attaches great importance to logistical support: it rejected the organizer's arrangement, and instead booked a five-star hotel for the national team in the center of Seoul, which is only five kilometers away from the Seoul World Cup Stadium. It won't take long at all on the road.

However, although the Chinese journalists have big brains, they are still far behind the master-level masters like the Koreans in this kind of routine.

The real truth will always be told by Zhou Tiancheng, he dares to tell the truth in a humorous form.

"To be honest, this away game will definitely have a unique impression in my career. This is the first time I have walked a kilometer to the training ground. It’s oily, it’s really hard to think about luck, but I think next time I have a chance, a bus with such a high fuel consumption is definitely not of good quality, right? It still can’t be used anymore... But it’s also worth it. Very good, at least the warm-up training can be avoided, thanks to the organizer, haha!"

Although Zhou Tiancheng said so, the reporters immediately showed angry expressions after hearing it.

They couldn't be more familiar with it, it's an outside move!
After Zhou Tiancheng left, when they discussed in private, everyone was quite angry.

"Fuck you bastard! Shameful tricks!"

"It goes without saying that it's shameful. Bangzi didn't push his face more than ten years ago. They know what courtesy, righteousness and shame are?"

"Hey, look, Bangzi is definitely shooting himself in the foot this time, Zhou Tiancheng still has the energy to joke with us..."
