As soon as he arrived in Doha, Qatar, Dong Fangzhuo was surrounded by Asian journalists.

The world's No. 1 star came to Qatar to play the Asian Cup, and of course he couldn't help but be surrounded by layers. If there is anyone here who does not welcome Dong Fangzhuo, it is the people of Qatar.

Because the second opponent of the Chinese team is the host Qatar. Qatar lost to Uzbekistan in the first round, and the match against China is a do-or-die match, and at least a draw against China will have to be a sign to make it out of the group stage.

Dong Fangzhuo remembers that in 2011, the Chinese team lost to Qatar, and then the group ranking was squeezed to third place and missed the group qualification.

Right now?

Ha, Qatar, you dream of it! It's your turn to experience what it's like to be eliminated from the group.

Although Dong Fangzhuo is really not interested in the Asian Cup at all, but at the national level, he will not hesitate to return to play well in this Asian Cup.

As for what Asian Cup top scorer? He had already broken the scoring record in the last edition and he was even less interested.

He believes that for many years to come, the record of the top scorer in the Asian Cup will belong to him, unless a super pervert comes.

Journalists happened to be asking this question.

"Dong, you only returned to the team in the second round of the last Asian Cup, will you break your goal record again?"

"This is not considered, we are considering the defending Asian Cup, the honor of Chinese football is much more important than the individual honor!"

"The people of Qatar are going to hate you to death, you know? They want FIFA to give you awards every day, at least to get you back to the tournament after this game. ”

"Hah, that can't be helped...... The Golden Globe is only one a year, and the Asian Cup is also held every four years, so I can't miss it. ”

It's okay for the people of Qatar to hate him, but the Chinese love him.

"Are you going to start the game?"

"I don't know, it's up to the manager, I'm here to play in Doha, I don't want to sit on the sidelines all the time."

……

At the same time, the news media is also frantically hyping Dong Fangzhuo.

Qatar's Gulf Times sounded the alarm for the battle - the world's first person is coming, what should Qatar do? What can we do to fend off the Chinese Dongfeng missiles?

Al Jazeera's commentator said directly on TV: Unless he doesn't play, as soon as he plays, the possibility of Qatar's upset is almost zero, and it can be said with certainty that Qatar has basically been eliminated from the Asian Cup. I really can't figure it out.

South Korea's Chosun Ilbo: The misfortune of the hosts, they have to say goodbye to the World Cup early.

Japan's "Asahi Shimbun": The arrival of Dong Fangzhuo made the Chinese team's road to defending the title instantly smooth, and even the suspense of Asia's top scorer was gone.

Tencent.com: King Dong returns and opens the championship mode.

……

In order to play this Asian Cup, all the players who traveled to Europe have returned, and it can be said that it is almost the same squad for last year's World Cup.

Unlike Japan and South Korea, China often plays the Asian Cup without all the main forces, and every time China plays a major tournament, it is the main attack, for the sake of results. What's more, now that Chinese football is in its heyday, it will definitely strive for more good results.

Although the Chinese team won Kuwait 2:0 in the first round, the process was not good, it was Zhang Linpeng and Deng Zhuoxiang who scored goals, and the striker did not score, for the powerful Chinese team, the striker did not score is a shame.

But after Dong Fangzhuo returned, everyone didn't have this idea, because Dong Fangzhuo was the guarantee of the goal.

However, after a long talk between Dong Fangzhuo and Crowchen, Crowchen made a new decision.

Dong Fangzhuo plays as a substitute!

When the news was announced at the pre-match press conference, reporters and fans exploded.

"Why?"

That's why people have this question.

Why?

Why does the world's No. 1 man play as a substitute? Crouchen: Did you get water in your head? Although Crawford is the head coach of China's godfather, everyone is very incomprehensible at this moment.

Fortunately, Dong Fangzhuo and Crouchen both appeared at the press conference at the same time.

Dong Fangzhuo didn't want to embarrass Crawford, so he took the microphone and explained in person.

"It's my decision."

"The reason for this is very simple, I can't always be the leader, the group stage is a good opportunity to practice, especially young forwards."

"Excellent seedlings like Wu Sanshi should get more opportunities."

"This is for the future of Chinese football."

This is a very good reason, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Chinese fans on the Internet started talking about it.

"Dong Fangzhuo is right, giving others more opportunities and training more talents is the future, otherwise after Dong Fangzhuo retires in the future, who will take over?"

"You can't always have a bull's nose when Dong Fangzhuo is there, and nothing when Dong Fangzhuo is away."

"Children like Wu Sanshi should be put on the highest level of competition, five or six years later, when Dong Fangzhuo is not good, others can also keep up, although we can't go back to the time when they are so awesome now, but at least we are still at the leading level in Asia."

"Dong Fangzhuo can sit on the bench and appear again when he sees that the situation is wrong."

“……”

After the press conference, Dong Fangzhuo's information flew all over the sky again.

A special reporter from Southern Metropolis Daily commented: Righteousness! Dong Fangzhuo gave up the starting line for Chinese football, and he would sit on the bench with peace of mind and become a substitute.

Tencent.com: Wang Dong has begun to train a successor!

And the Qatari side is happy, and Qatari fans are also discussing it online.

"If Dong Fangzhuo doesn't play, then Qatar will have a chance, two goals first, and then it will be too late for him to come up."

"Although the Chinese team without him is still a strong team, Qatar finally has the strength to fight."

There are also fans who think about it from a national level.

"This must be an exchange of interests, Qatar is the host, this is the Chinese team to give Qatar face, that's why they found such a nice reason at the press conference."

"Anyway, they can also take out Uzbekistan in the third round to get the right to qualify, which is the perfect exchange."

There are really a lot of fans who think so, Qatari fans think so, aren't Uzbekistan fans even worse?

Soon, they put pressure on the state through the network.

"The Chinese say it so nicely, in fact, it is to release water! Unless China Dong doesn't start the game against us, otherwise they are playing tacit ball. ”

"I strongly urge the national team officials to urgently go to the tournament committee and the AFC to explain this matter."

Uzbek fans don't think their country can beat China, and they have been thinking about competing with Qatar for second place in the group and qualifying from the group.

Dong Fangzhuo didn't expect that he would be able to cause so many things by playing as a substitute, but he and Crouchen had reached a unified opinion, and it was impossible to change their minds because of the outside world's opinion.

That night, it was Gao Lin who started in place of Dong Fangzhuo. The rest of the position is basically the same as the starting point at the World Cup.

Goalkeeper: Zeng Cheng

Defenders: Zhang Linpeng, Feng Xiaoting, Li Weifeng, Zhu Ting

Midfielders: Huang Bowen, Zheng Zhi, Zhao Xuri

Forwards: Deng Zhuoxiang, Gao Lin, Feng Renliang

On the bench: Wu Sanshi, Dong Fangzhuo, Hao Junmin, Shao Jiayi, Du Wei......

This lineup is very strong.

"Well, we're a little unaccustomed to it, there's nothing wrong with the starting lineup, it's just that this bench makes people look very unaccustomed, especially Dong Fangzhuo and Hao Junmin are on the bench."

In the live broadcast room, Huang Jianxiang sighed again and again.

"This is the first person in the world! The first person in the world actually sat on the bench. ”

"I think other Asian teams are thinking, oh my God, the number one person in the world doesn't need to play, he doesn't play at all, and he leaves other people a chance, how violent is this?"

"However, we did it, as well as Hao Junmin and Shao Jiayi."

"In this Asian Cup, as well as Chen Tao and Zhou Haibin, they did not come, and the talent pool of Chinese football has never been so strong."

I don't know if it's because Dong Fangzhuo is on the bench, this game is much more beautiful than the first game.

Feng Renliang scored in the 13th minute of the opening game, and he broke through on the left side and sent the ball into the goal on the left side of the small penalty area.

"The Qatari people really think too much, they think that without Dong Fangzhuo, they can wrestle with the Chinese team, but they forget, without Dong Fangzhuo, we still have Feng Renliang!"

After taking the lead, the Chinese team played better and better, and the more smoothly they played.

Before the end of the first half, Gao Lin received Deng Zhuoxiang's side cross and scored with a header, rewriting the score to 2:0, and the game seemed to have lost suspense in advance.

"Sanshi, if you have the opportunity to appear in a while, you must not be stage frightened, kick boldly, and kick relaxed!" Wu Sanshi sat beside him, and he said a few words of encouragement.

According to the current situation, he thinks that Krauchen will definitely let Wu Sanshi appear, as for himself? Probably going to sit on the bench......

Sure enough, after the intermission, Crowchen asked Wu Sanshi to warm up, and at the same time there were Hao Junmin and others who warmed up, but there was no Dong Fangzhuo.

Chinese fans are disappointed!

"Oh, Dong Fangzhuo, is this the rhythm of not playing?"

"He's not on the field, so the game won't be interesting, huh? I want to see him score. ”

"Is he really going to give up the chance to compete for the top scorer?"

In the 60th minute, Wu Sanshi got the opportunity to play, and Hao Junmin also replaced Deng Zhuoxiang.

At this time, the Chinese team's attack power is even better, because Hao Junmin himself is the core of the national team's midfield.

After Wu Sanshi came up, he quickly got Feng Renliang's left assist, but Wu Sanshi lost the single knife!

Then Zheng Zhi in the middle gave a through ball, but Wu Sanshi still didn't grasp it.

But the third time he grasped it, Hao Junmin crossed the ball low on the right side, and Wu Sanshi hit a fairy ball on the right sideline of the big penalty area......

In the end, the Chinese team easily won Qatar 3:0, and the host was eliminated in advance.

And Dong Fangzhuo didn't play for a minute! It's just that Mourinho suddenly called him and scolded him......
