If there is no glory, then Japan's Shinji Kagawa will be the number one star in this Asian Cup.

He only moved to Dortmund in the Bundesliga from Japan in the summer of 2010, and he only played half a season in the Bundesliga, and was named "Player of the Half Season" by the official website of the Bundesliga.

At Borussia Dortmund, Shinji Kagawa is an active runner and decisive in his shots, and is now the heart of the Japanese team's midfield.

But compared to the glory, Shinji Kagawa doesn't seem to have enough weight.

When Shinji Kagawa had only played for half a season in the Bundesliga, Eiko was already a world-class player who had won the Bundesliga, the German FA Cup and the UEFA Champions League.

If you only compare the strength of the stars, Glory will definitely blow all the players in the Japanese team.

But the game of football is a collective sport, and it depends on the whole.

In terms of overall strength, the Japanese team is now the strongest team in Asia, and there is no suspense.

So the Japanese team and the Chinese team have a fight.

Japan's stars have always wanted to challenge Glory and beat him. Now they finally have a chance.

They believe that with their outstanding overall strength, they can completely encircle and suppress the glory.

Eimitsu's outstanding performance at this Asian Cup has inspired these top Japanese players, all of whom have played for European teams and are also mainstays in their respective teams.

But none of their achievements in Europe combined are as glorious as a single person.

In their eyes, Glory is like a demon king of the world.

But it is precisely because of this that they can be motivated to beat such a great world-class player as Eimitsu, which is the common wish of the best of these Japanese players.

Now, the final gives them that chance.

The Asian Cup final between the Chinese team and the Japanese team started on the evening of the 29th, and now there are three days left before the final, and Gao Hongbo gave the team a half-day off the next morning as usual.

This time, though, many of the players didn't sleep in their rooms.

When Gao Hongbo was having breakfast in the hotel restaurant, he saw many players of the Chinese team appearing in the restaurant sweaty.

They are all doing physical training in the gym......

It can be seen that they are very much looking forward to the final and have a strong desire to play well in the final.

This is a good sign.

The players have such a mentality, and Gao Hongbo is much more confident in the final.

Although the final opponent was the Asian hegemon Japan, Gao Hongbo was not nervous. This is not because there is such a person as Rongrong in the team, but more importantly, the mentality of the whole Chinese team is different from the past.

Maybe he will really become the head coach who will make the history of Chinese football?

Originally, when Rongguang first joined this team, Gao Hongbo still had a headache and didn't know how to arrange such a "transfer student".

But now he is happy to be back with glory and it is when he is in charge of the national team.

The Sino-Japanese battle in the Asian Cup final has attracted attention from all over Asia and even the world.

Because of the rise of Japanese football over the years, it is also a force to be reckoned with in world football, and the Chinese team is attractive because of its glory.

With the Asian Cup going on, the Chinese players have also fallen into the eyes of the European media and professional clubs, and some Chinese players have even attracted the favor of scouts from European clubs. During the Asian Cup, from time to time, there will be news that a certain club has taken a fancy to a certain player of the Chinese team.

Not every one of them may be true, but it's not groundless, there will always be true.

Now the final of these two teams has become the focus of everyone's attention.

The grievances between Chinese and Japanese football were re-introduced by the media.

In the Asian Cup alone, China has met Japan three times, losing all three times and conceding three goals in each game.

3:2 in the 1992 semi-finals, 3:2 in the 2000 semi-finals, and 3:1 in the 2004 finals.

The Chinese team has never defeated Japan in the Asian Cup, but even the Japanese media dare not say that this historical record shows that Japan has an advantage in facing the Chinese team in this final.

Because of the glory, the balance of power between the two sides has to be recalculated.

The Japanese media has spent a lot of time introducing Glory to fans in Japan.

In fact, there is no need to introduce it, Japanese fans know who Rongguang is, so this kind of report is not really to introduce Rongguang to Japanese fans, but to use this way to show that Rongguang is a very threatening player.

A guest from Nippon TV said that as long as the Japanese team can solve the problem of containing glory, then the Japanese team will not have much problem winning the Asian Cup final.

The host casually asked, "Then how do you solve this problem?" ”

The guest opened his mouth, and finally had to feign anger and say: "If I knew, I would be the head coach of the Japanese team!" ”

There was laughter at the scene, and this embarrassment was overcome.

Japanese journalists are also very concerned about this issue, how can the Japanese team contain him in the face of the glory of being in excellent form?

You must know that the role of glory is very important, he can not only connect the Chinese team together to form an organic whole, but also when the Chinese team as a whole cannot open the situation, he can incarnate as a personal hero and solve the problem single-handedly.

With such an all-round player, how to defend him and contain him is a lot of people's concerns.

So outside the training base of Japan in front, the head coach of the Japanese team, Zaccheroni, was surrounded by Japanese reporters.

Everyone wants to hear if he already has an idea of defensive glory.

'Sakae is a very good player, but football is a game of eleven men and I believe in the boys in the Japanese team, they are very good. We will face the Chinese team with a strong whole. ”

Zaccheroni's expression was stern when he said this, but Japanese journalists thought it was nonsense.

After all, Zaccheroni didn't know how to deal with Glory...... Or maybe he has the means but is unwilling to reveal it in advance, but the latter is really unlikely......

On the Chinese team's side, before the finals, Gao Hongbo still let the whole team train in a closed manner, and reporters from any country didn't want to take pictures of the Chinese team's training.

At the beginning of the Asian Cup, Gao Hongbo's actions attracted the dissatisfaction of domestic reporters, because Gao Hongbo did not cooperate with the work of the media and the training was not open to the public, so how could they report on the preparation of the national football team?

However, Gao Hongbo was unmoved and insisted on his own opinion. And gradually, as the Chinese team continues to win, reporters are no longer good at pointing fingers at Gao Hongbo's arrangement.

In football, as long as you can win, you can do whatever you want.

And because the Chinese team reached the finals, and the opponent in the final was Japan, this also greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of Chinese fans to watch the game.

In just one day, there were many more Chinese on the streets of Doha, the capital of Qatar.

However, Qatar could not distinguish the difference between Chinese and Japanese, so many Japanese fans were also Chinese fans, and they exclaimed, "The Chinese occupy Doha!" ”

In fact, many of the people in the photo are Japanese......

However, there are indeed very many Chinese, and certainly more than the Japanese.

The enthusiasm of the Chinese fans was completely aroused. In order to be able to witness the Chinese team winning the Asian Cup for the first time in history, domestic tour groups have urgently opened a variety of tour groups to Qatar to watch the last Asian Cup final.

But even so, it has long been looted.

There are even people who buy tickets for the finals at a high price online, but they are also hard to find.

He Ping, a commentator for China Central Television, launched an appeal on Weibo, calling on everyone to wear red clothes when they go to watch the game, even if they don't have the jersey of the Chinese team, and wear a red T-shirt.

This is because China drew the away team in the final, and they will use the away team dressing room and wear the away shirt during the game.

And the Chinese team's away jersey is the red one - this has always been a very incomprehensible thing for Chinese fans, obviously China's national flag is a five-star red flag, red is the main color, obviously China's traditional color symbol is red, why the Chinese team's home jersey will always be white? And the red jersey is the away jersey instead?

Many people have complained that the white jersey of the Chinese team is like a mourning dress, which is very unlucky. Especially during the period when the Chinese team's results were poor, the white jersey was simply annoying......

Fortunately, the Chinese team decided to wear red jerseys in the finals, which relieved many Chinese fans who hate white jerseys.

And the Japanese team will wear their blue home jersey, red and blue do not clash and there is no problem.

He Ping hopes that more Chinese fans will wear red clothes to cheer on the scene and create a better atmosphere in the stadium. In the past, Chinese fans were complained that everyone wore their own clothes, and when they looked at it in the stands, it was like a plate of loose sand, and there was no visual impact at all. In this regard, it is far worse than those professional fans in Europe and the United States, and it is also much inferior to Japanese fans and Korean fans.

However, I believe that with the improvement of the Chinese team's performance, the awareness of Chinese fans in this regard will become stronger and stronger.

As soon as He Ping's Weibo was issued, it received a response from many netizens and fans.

Soon, the number of retweets exceeded 50,000, which shows how popular it is, and this number is still rising.

Everyone has pledged to turn the Khalifa Stadium in Doha into a sea of red.

And in China, the red Chinese team jersey has also become the most fashionable fashion. There are not many original Chinese national team jerseys in Adidas stores in various cities, because not many people will buy such clothes that cannot be worn.

However, as the Chinese team's watch in the Asian Cup became better and better, the Chinese team's jersey began to gradually become favored.

Before the final, the peak was reached, and the original inventory of Chinese jerseys in the team was sold out, and Adidas had to urgently dispatch and step up the production of jerseys, and then send them to various cities.

In the streets and alleys of the city, you can also see all kinds of people wearing the jerseys of the Chinese team, including young men, young girls, children and middle-aged people...... All kinds of people, they have one thing in common - they are all Chinese fans!
