Chapter 578: The Hunt Begins
"The final will go ahead as scheduled and the staff are salvaging the court. Many fans are helping to clean up the stadium. Huang Jianxiang was reporting from the scene, standing on the side of the court, and he pointed the microphone at the former pair of cousins.
On such an important day, even if he loses his head, he has to come to the scene to do a live broadcast. At least at this moment, he is not fighting alone, tens of thousands of Chinese fans are on his side. There were still two hours to go, but the fans were already making their way in. Of course, this is also because the security check of the game is quite strict, and if the fans do not line up for the security check, and wait for the game to start before entering the stadium, it is estimated that the game will not be able to be completed.
"Are you Chinese?"
"Yes, we are Chinese."
"I saw you kick a pretty beautiful ball just now, do you want to play professional football when you grow up?" Huang Jianxiang asked with a smile, this is a live broadcast, and the camera is facing the cousin.
"I'm actually just a dishwasher, I don't have that big dreams......"
"Oh, that's a shame, there are probably a lot of kids in China who like to play football, they're washing dishes or digging coal. But there is no distinction between high and low labor, come on, young man! Huang Jianxiang resolved the embarrassment in his heart with a smile, but he didn't expect to interview a football fan who was washing dishes, is it really a legend on the Internet, China's Messi and Ronaldo are moving bricks or digging coal?
The cousin's face was smiling, not a little disappointed, everyone's fate is different, what is the difference between washing dishes and playing football, not both can make money, just make a small amount of money, and one makes a lot of money.
The rain is still falling, it's just getting lighter. The sky may be gray, but it looks much clearer in the evening.
Still, fans frantically poured into the Sydney Olympic Stadium.
There are about 50,000 local Chinese and Chinese who come to watch the game. The Sydney Olympic Stadium is the largest open-air stadium in the world, capable of accommodating 110,000 people, but judging by today's numbers. There should be 130,000 people. Chinese fans and Australian fans should be evenly matched.
Of course, the most beautiful scenery is not ordinary fans, but a specially set up fan area, where the military is under strict guard, as if facing a great enemy. That fan zone is naturally reserved for heads of state. Aside from the fact that it is very high-guarded, it is no different from other fan zones.
"There's nothing like the boss coming to the game, and there's nothing like that to motivate the team to move forward!" Huang Jianxiang looked very excited, looked at the fan zone from afar, and pointed the camera at the bosses who had not yet appeared. With the exception of the Olympics and some special big shows, the boss is usually not there in person. But this time it was the exception. The boss, who also likes football, has done something that excites the Chinese people for both public and private purposes.

Draw handicap. This is the latest final odds offered by Spinach. They fancy a draw between the two teams in 90 minutes, perhaps the most balanced approach. The hosts and the favourites, after weighing all the benefits, look set to drag into an extra-time or even a penalty shootout.
As Liu Hao expected, ten minutes before the start of the game, Perrin once again changed the starting lineup.
In the end, Wang Dalei put the door on the door, and the left back Jiang Zhipeng. Right back Zhang Chengdong, middle lane Zhang Linpeng and Mei Fang, back Zheng Zhi, Huang Rongzheng, left forward Zhang Xizhe. Right forward Sun Ke, shadow forward Wu Lei, forward Liu Hao, standard 4231.
I've been kicking the 4321 Christmas tree formation before. However, before the final, Perrin bravely removed a midfielder and added an attacking midfielder.
Australia played in their traditional yellow jersey and China in red. The two colors, while not clashing on the court, are not very harmonious. Perhaps, like this game, it will certainly not be too calm......
Of course, with so many VIPs in the stands, it is impossible for the fans to do something too substandard. This game is not just about the Asian Cup, it is given more meaning.
Today's security is quite strict, even the players have to go through strict security checks to enter the dressing room, and it seems that the threat of terrorists is everywhere, of course, because too many heads of state are present in person.
When they appeared, there was a deafening cheer on the pitch, and it was not known which one was welcome......
The three bosses of the United States, China and Russia sit together, and by virtue of their capacity as hosts, the Australian head of state is also honored to be on the list. The fact that the bosses of other small countries are sitting in the second row is a clear signal......
As for officials like Hao Haidong, who are not in the stream, they can only stay in the general VIP area, and they are not enough to see.
However, Hao Haidong doesn't feel that he is too cheap, he is the core figure of Chinese football, without him, there may not be the current strong national team.
He sat with Li Shihong leisurely, his expression very happy.
Although I haven't won the Asian Cup yet, I look like I've got it. The Chinese team has stayed up for more than ten years to reach the finals again, can he not be happy?
Whether you win the championship or not, in fact, is already a success. At least it shows that Chinese football has risen again and walked out of the dead quagmire.
"After the fight, I'm going to get drunk, win or lose." He turned his head sideways and smiled at Li Shihong.
"You can, but I can't, the weather boss is still here to watch the game......"
Oh, yes, Elder Li is still the chief imperial doctor...... I don't know if Liu Hao's kid will receive an interview once he wins the Asian Cup? This idea popped into Hao Haidong's mind.
At this time, the Chinese national anthem was about to play, and he quickly stood up with Li Shihong.
The two of them sang in unison and sonorously.
The loud Chinese national anthem was played on the field, and all the Chinese fans sang the national anthem together to the beat, allowing Australians to once again see the unity and strength of Chinese fans.
Of course, our boss is no exception.
※※※※
"The game started immediately, Zheng Zhi chose this side of the venue close to the Chinese fans, according to the feng shui master, we are in front of the sun, this is the yang side with a lot of energy, although we can't see the sun now, it must be silently supporting us......"
The referee from Europe blew the whistle, and the Asian Cup final finally started!
The Australian players quickly kicked the ball back, and the Chinese players immediately pressed forward, and from the first second of the game, the Chinese team implemented the tactics of pressing all over the court, and the man-to-man defense.
"This is not the first final for the Chinese team. But it's definitely the most promising one. ”
Australia's height undoubtedly dominates, and their tactical philosophy is quite simple, which is to play the English style. With the advantage of their height, they wisely split the ball to the side, and then immediately crossed from the side to test the Chinese team's defense with a header. 、
"Shot !!!!!!!!" Huang Jianxiang suddenly exclaimed! Immediately shocked into a cold sweat, Australia's attack was incredibly fast, and the extremely fast cross from the side immediately created a chance to shoot!
Neither central defenders Mei Fang nor Zhang Linpeng were able to grab a header.
Just one minute into the game, Australia had a chance to shoot!
"Almost! The Chinese team should be careful. You have to start with a 12-point mentality, and once you concede the first goal, then the game will be difficult to play. Offense wins word-of-mouth, defense wins championships, it's a final and we have to do more defensively. Huang Jianxiang became worried.
"My opinion is contrary to yours, it is clear that the Chinese team is quite at a loss in the high-ball defense, and the Australians should not have so many offensive opportunities. Just now we all saw that Mei Fang and Zhang Linpeng are at an obvious disadvantage in high-altitude defense, and if Australia is given so many more opportunities, something will happen sooner or later. At this time, the Chinese team should attack boldly. Put more energy into the offense. To be honest, our attack is better than Australia's, the depth is very strong, and Liu Hao has to play more role now. To make the Australians feel scared, to let them know that he is always watching their goal. Sun Ke and Zhang Xizhe can also create quite a lot of threats to them. In front of Australians, we are the little fast. Cao expressed his disagreement.
The final is important, but how to play is learned, he and Huang Jianxiang's tactical concepts are different, of course, the two of them have different opinions, Peilan's tactical concept is the most important.
What will Perrin do?
Obviously, he and Cao Zhidong's ideas are relatively close.
In the first minute of the opening game, the Chinese players had already been told that if they wanted the goal to be safe, they had to make the opponent's goal dangerous!
The camera switches to the fan stands, and the boss is smiling slightly, surprisingly calm. It is estimated that he is the calmest fan in the world.
The audience exclaimed, he couldn't make a sound, and he didn't have any expression at all......
The ball came to the feet of the Chinese team, Wang Dalei did not kick the ball off, but just pushed it to the nearest Mei Fang, Mei Fang made a short pass to the captain Zheng Zhi, Zheng Zhi took the ball and took two steps, knocked the ball to Huang Rongzheng, Huang Rongzheng gave the ball to Zhang Xizhe, and then he also stepped forward.
Zhang Xizhe coiled the ball at his feet, Liu Hao approached, and Sun Ke on the right side also followed, Wu Lei retreated in the middle, and all of a sudden, the five Chinese team members in the front court were actually crowded together.
"What kind of tactic is this?" Australia coach Postecoglou, although well-informed, has never seen such a football tactic.
This is obviously unreasonable, and it completely violates the normal running position of football!
However, the Chinese team is like playing rugby, not real football.
Even the coach was stunned, weren't the Australian players on the pitch even more confused?
At that moment, I saw a mess in Australia's backfield. The relative advantage in numbers made them instantly feel that they were not controlled by them at all.
"This is a reference to the cooperation of Huang Rongzheng and Liu Hao in the last game! Completely disrupted the defense of the Australians! Huang Jianxiang exclaimed again.
Zhang Xizhe, Huang Rongzheng, Sun Ke and Wu Lei continued to run and reverse their feet, and it took less than four seconds to reach the Australian penalty area, and Liu Hao did not touch the ball from beginning to end, but rushed with everyone.
In the end, the ball was handed to Sun Ke's feet.
"Shot !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" (To be continued......)
PS: I have a headache, my head hurts, I can only change it today, I fainted, I will lie down first......
