Chapter 165: It's a Battle

March 23, Changsha Helong Stadium.

The red bus carried all the members of the Chinese team and slowly drove into Helong Stadium.

Lippi was the first to step off the bus, and about 30 meters away, the Chinese fans standing outside the police cordon cheered, full of respect for the Italian coach who brought the Chinese team to the final stage of the qualifiers.

The second to get off was the captain of the team, Li Qingshan.

When Li Qingshan's face appeared in front of the fans, the cheers of the mountain and tsunami almost made the air shake, and even many police officers in charge of security couldn't help but cheer along.

Li Qingshan is the biggest contributor to the Chinese team's success at this stage, and he is also the most crucial figure in tonight's game.

Tonight, the Chinese team will face the South Korean team at home!!

This is the fifth round of the group stage of the World Cup qualifiers in the Asian round of 12, and now the group stage of the top 12 has officially entered the competition for the off-duty stage.

In Group A, where the Chinese team is located, after the first four games, the teams in the group have already played each other once.

China and Iran are the only two unbeaten teams, both of whom have a record of three wins and one draw, and are in the top two of the group.

In third place is Uzbekistan, who have two wins and two losses, with six points. Fourth in the group is the South Korean team, after four rounds of group stage, the South Koreans only got four points, the record is one win, one draw and two losses! In particular, their two defeats, one at home to China and the other to Iran, while South Korea, Iran, and China are considered to be the two strongest contenders in the group for direct qualification to the World Cup finals, losing directly to their rivals, and also playing a draw against the underdog Syria, which made South Korean fans extremely dissatisfied with the team's performance!

"Stillich should go to the !! of self-determination"

On a South Korean TV station, a fan said angrily in an interview with reporters. This is the anger expressed by South Korean fans after the South Korean team's loss to Iran.

"This is our revenge battle!!"

Before going to China, South Korean captain Ji Chengyong said confidently in front of the media camera!

The South Korean media is also full of anticipation for this match.

"It's a Jedi bounce back game!! The South Korean team will have to show their determination to win!! ”

"Let the Chinese regain the feeling of Koreanophobia!!"

There was a lot of buzz in South Korea.

In fact, in China, people are also full of anticipation for this game.

"Victory over South Korean !!"

"Kill the Korean !!!"

"Come on Chinese team !!!"

For reasons that are well known, this match has been greatly followed by even those who are not football fans.

Football is a war in times of peace, and this sentence is not untargeted!

In order to prevent possible surprises during the match, the security level for this match is very high.

There were not many South Koreans who came to the away stadium, but there were thirty or forty people, and they were arranged in a stand in the corner, and in front of them, police officers in black security jerseys sat around them, separating the Korean fans from the Chinese fans.

......

Players from both teams were already lined up in the tunnel with players from both sides looking ahead and not talking to each other.

The significance of this game has long ceased to be an ordinary round of 12 match, this is a war.

The South Koreans are expressionless, and the Chinese look solemn.

The stands of Helong Stadium were already full, Chinese fans were dressed in red, and the game had not yet started, but the atmosphere in the stadium was already extremely warm at this time.

It's a cold spring in Hunan in March, but if you're near Helong Stadium right now, you'll be able to feel the heat.

It's the heat of the fans' blood!

Rumble......

As if it was like an explosion, the Helong Stadium, which was already warm enough, burst into even more enthusiastic cheers.

Duan Xuan sat in the commentary seat, only to feel that his eardrum was vibrating by this huge decibel vibration, and he had to open his mouth.

The same is true of Xu Yang beside him.

In addition to CCTV sent on-site commentators, many domestic TV stations, such as the TV stations of well-known sports channels such as Guangti and Shangti, as well as major online platforms, have sent on-site commentators, and the two rows of commentators are full.

"Okay!! Audience friends!! Now the players of both sides are lined up and ready to enter the field!!! ”

After getting the director's instructions, Duan Xuan immediately adjusted his state and entered the state of commentary!!

"This is a key battle in the fifth round of Group A of the Asian round of 12 World Cup qualifiers!! The Chinese team faces the South Korean team at home!!! He grabbed the headset and yelled, and behind him to the left, the commentators on other platforms had to do the same, because the decibels were so high!

"Now the cheers from the fans are almost making it difficult for our commentators to make other sounds, and this home game has attracted tens of thousands of Chinese fans into the stadium! In fact, if Helong Stadium is big enough, it can accommodate more fans. Outside the stadium, tens of thousands of fans who did not have tickets gathered around the ball, and today, our fans all over China are fighting with the national football team!! ”

Players from both teams slowly walked into the field under the guidance of the referee.

The cheers in the stands never stopped, and as the players appeared on the field, the voices even got louder!

The players of the South Korean team looked around a little nervously, Ji Chengyong's face was calm, but his heart was not calm at all!

What a horrible home atmosphere!

Ji Chengyong looked at the red around him.

Helong Stadium is not a professional football stadium, and there is a running track around the stadium. It stands to reason that with such a stadium design, the fans are far away from the stadium, and it is difficult to create a home atmosphere comparable to that of a team in the English Premier League.

But Ji Chengyong now feels that such a home atmosphere is better than that of the Premier League!

Li Qingshan took the captain's armband and led the caddie into the field, and in front of his field of vision, there was a huge five-star red flag.

The five-star red flag is fluttering in the crowd!

When the players of both sides lined up in the stadium, it was time to play the national anthem.

The national anthem of the visiting South Korea team was played first, and the fans stood up in their seats, and the cheers that had been enthusiastic were now subdued.

After the Korean national anthem was played, the DJ shouted, "Now play the national anthem of the People's Republic of China!" ”

The melody of the national anthem sounded.

Li Qingshan only felt that his goosebumps were rising, and his heart was agitated.

"Get up !!!"

The national anthem is played! Tens of thousands of people sang in unison!

The melody of the battle sounded in Changsha Helong Stadium, in the entire Changsha urban area, in Hunan, Guangdong, Shanghai, Beijing, in various cities, villages, bars and food stalls across the country!
