Chapter 1121: The Asian Cup Opens

Because there was no media presence in the game against Iraq, and there was no video footage, all the news about the game on the domestic network was only a short 1,000-word text report, not even a picture......

The content of this 1,000-word text is still the same for all media, because the source is the same, and it is written by the press officer of the Chinese national team.

You can't see much from this thousand-word text alone, especially whether the cooperation between the other players of the Chinese team and Rongguang has been tacitly understood, and whether the Chinese team is still scattered in the attack?

These issues that the Chinese media and fans are most concerned about are not mentioned in the text, and they are not visible at all.

No matter how much the Chinese media researches, they can't study it.

Because the manuscript given by others has already been processed, naturally they will not be allowed to get any information from it.

After the match against Iraq, the Chinese team will continue their closed training camp.

The next time you will be in front of everyone, it will be the first game of the group stage of the Asian Cup.

The Chinese team will challenge Kuwait.

This is probably the weakest team in the group.

China must beat Kuwait to keep their hopes of qualifying from the group alive.

The last five days of intensive training passed quickly in the heavy daily training tasks. Although the players of the Chinese team have been in Qatar for many days, no one has the opportunity to go shopping and buy some luxury goods that are cheaper than those in China as souvenirs.

They had only seen Doha, the capital of Qatar, once in the car, when they were on their way from the airport to the training camp.

Now, now that the training camp is over, the Chinese team has moved back to their hotel in Doha, where the other three teams from the same group are also present. The players and coaches of the four teams will look up and not look down at any time.

When the bus of the Chinese team stopped at the entrance of the hotel, reporters had already gathered there.

The glorious Chinese team is now not only the team with the biggest star in the Asian Cup, but also the most mysterious team, having been in Qatar since December 29, but they have been closed all the time, and no media has been able to capture their training and no one has been able to interview their head coach.

Even if the players of the Chinese team were interviewed, they didn't talk much, and they were obviously given a gag order.

No one knows the team's preparations, or what the team's true strength is.

It's not wrong to say that they are the most mysterious team, even more mysterious than the North Korean team!

β€»β€»β€»

On January 7, the last night before the official game, Gao Hongbo held a tactical meeting in a small conference room in the hotel, attended by all the coaches and players of the team.

This was also the last mobilization meeting before the game.

The leader of the Chinese national team first delivered an impassioned speech, calling on everyone to put down their burdens, send out a level of morale, and show the results of their usual training on the field, to win glory for the country, and there are now hundreds of millions of fans in China watching them......

I said before that I wanted to let go of the burden and pressure, but now it's all about adding pressure to the players of the national team.

Next, Gao Hongbo began to talk about tactics, he only talked about tactics, and didn't talk about anything else, some of them were already talked about by the team leader, and the players would be more nervous if he talked about it again.

Let's talk about how to play the first game between the Chinese team and Kuwait.

It's something that everyone has been practicing over and over again in the last week.

It's something that makes Glory blend with other players.

But to be honest, Gao Hongbo has little confidence.

The training has ended, and the players have been given a different promotion, but they are still far from Gao Hongbo's requirements.

If you insist on playing like this, it may be okay to play Kuwait, but it will be dangerous to run into the host Qatar later.

However, Gao Hongbo had no other way but to take one step at a time and think one step at a time.

The players can't wait for the Asian Cup to start soon.

They've been training so hard for so long to be able to show in the competition, and if they don't compete, they never know if their training is effective or how much they've improved.

Just like the game against Iraq, without this game, the players of the national team would have been training like they were being tortured. However, after beating the defending champions in the competition, the players of the Chinese national team felt the effect of training, and in the next few days of training, everyone was full of motivation and training attitude.

The group stage between the Chinese team and Kuwait began at 9:15 p.m. Beijing time on January 8, and before that, from the afternoon, China's domestic CCTV has begun to broadcast various live broadcasts in front of it, including interviews with Chinese fans, scenes of the Chinese team staying in hotels, and interactive programs for the guests in front.

From after lunch, CCTV's sports channel became the Asian Cup channel.

If there is no glory, the Chinese media and fans may not have such great expectations for this Asian Cup.

Now everyone is here for glory.

In addition, CCTV also interviewed several foreign fans wearing the No. 10 jersey of Glory in Manchester City on the streets of Doha.

They are also here to cheer for the Chinese team, or to be more precise, to cheer for glory.

"We are Emirati fans! We are all die-hard fans of Rong! Rong is in Manchester City, we support Manchester City, and now he is in the Chinese team, then we will support the Chinese team! Come on, Chinese team! ”

The CCTV female reporters interviewed were all amused by these foreigners.

Rongguang also brought such foreign fans to the Chinese team, which was also something that everyone didn't expect before.

But these three are certainly not real Manchester City fans, they are glory fans. True Manchester City fans would never want China to win. In the best first game, the Chinese team lost.

During the training camp in China, Manchester City beat Newcastle United 3-1 away in the 19th round of the league, and they launched a fierce attack after conceding a goal first, and finally completed the comeback thanks to a brace from Zlatan Ibrahimovic and a goal from Sneijder.

Manchester City then beat Aston Villa 4-0 at home in the 20th round of the league. Ibrahimovic is still doing well.

However, in the 21st round of the league on January 1, Manchester City was held to a 1-1 draw at home by promoted Blackpool, and did not continue to win.

In the twenty-second round of the league, the focus of the battle, Manchester City challenged Arsenal away.

This game is very important, even Glory took an hour and a half out of training to watch this game.

Arsenal took the lead just five minutes into the game thanks to Robin van Persie's goal, and the momentum at the Emirates Stadium was felt like a storm even in front of the TV.

The competition became more and more fierce.

In order to score again, Arsenal sealed the win and fought aggressively in the game.

The same goes for Manchester City, but their aim is not to lose.

In the 82nd minute, Ibrahimovic erupted, his fierce shot from outside the box sent the ball through both players in the box and into the goal on the turf!

At that moment, Rong Guang, who was in front of the TV, couldn't help but clench his fists and wave his arms.

The scramble between the two sides was then out of the football game, and in the 89th minute, the players of both sides got into an altercation during the game, and Arsenal full-back Sagna and Manchester City full-back Zabaleta were both sent off for a big fight.

This added to the tension of the game.

Thankfully, in the end, Manchester City held on to the draw and did not allow Arsenal to beat City at their home turf.

Manchester City's unbeaten run in the league has reached 37 games.

We are only thirteen games away from a fifty-game unbeaten league run.

Let's turn our attention back to the Asian Cup.

After lunch and a short rest, all the players of the Chinese team boarded the bus and rushed to the Aragalafa Stadium. Outside the hotel, a large number of Chinese fans saw them off.

Seeing the players of the Chinese team boarding the bus, there was a huge cheer.

The players of the Chinese team waved goodbye to the fans.

The atmosphere is still good, although many people in this team are participating in the Asian Cup for the first time, and it is inevitable that they will be nervous, but the nervous Cheng dΓΉ is not as high as everyone thought before.

Because there's glory still sitting on this cart.

In training, Glory is the demon that abuses their bodies and spirits.

But in the game, everyone believes that Glory Speech is transformed into a demon who completely destroys the opponent.

β€»β€»β€»

By the time the players from both sides arrived at the stadium to start their warm-ups, the Aragalafa Stadium had already begun arranging for fans to enter the stadium.

Although Kuwait is closer to Qatar, judging from the distribution of fans in the stands, this is more like the home of the Chinese team. Chinese fans wearing red Chinese jerseys and waving five-star red flags can be seen everywhere.

In comparison, Kuwaiti fans wearing blue Kuwaiti jerseys are less active.

Playing against Glory, Kuwaiti fans are not very optimistic about the fate of their team.

Glory is one of the best players in football today, and the only ones who can rival him are Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Such a person is definitely not something that Kuwaiti players can compete with.

Kuwaiti fans were clearly intimidated by the glorious fame.

Especially after they saw the warm-up of the Chinese team, Rongguang received the ball kicked by the assistant coach outside the penalty area, he did not stop the ball, but directly met the ball and shot angrily!

The football roared towards the goal, and although Yang Zhi, the main goalkeeper of the Chinese team, took off into the air and tried his best to stretch his arm, he still couldn't save the ball. Because the ball kicked by Glory drilled straight between the post and the crossbar!

Absolute dead end in theory!

World Wave!

If this is a game that took place, will Kuwaiti goalkeeper Nawaf Khalidi be able to hold the shot?

The fans in Kuwait were silent......

Not only them, but also the Kuwaiti players who had warmed up in the other half were silent.
