Chapter 256: A Different Opponent Than Before
"As for winning glory for the country, my understanding is that winning glory for the country is actually fighting for those Chinese fans. When I fight for them, I win glory for my country. ”
As the Chinese team's starters stood in the aisle, waiting to play, they heard the singing of the Chinese fans coming from outside.
When the substitute Chinese players walked out of the aisle and entered the bench first, they saw the red that occupied almost half of the stands, and the red was still surging, like the waves of the Red Sea.
At this time, whether it was in the passage or on the bench, the Chinese players all rang in their minds
As for "winning glory for the country", in fact, they have heard it since they were children and don't know how many times. There were so many times that they were completely immune to these four words and numb.
That's just a coach's mantra, a slogan painted on the wall.
and "If you want to be rich, have fewer children and grow more trees", "Boys and girls are the same", "Go to work happily and come home safely", "Don't drink and drive, don't drink while driving"...... It makes no difference.
No matter who says these four words, I am afraid it will be difficult to stir up ripples in their hearts and make their hearts change differently.
But when Rongguang explained to them in his way and from his point of view to win glory for the country, it really poked into the hearts of many people.
Winning glory for the country, this sentence is indeed too big. China is so big, so great, what light can we fight for her? She's already super powerful. Even if we lose the game, it will not affect the glory of China......
The image of "China" and "country" is like a portrait hanging high on the tower of the city, although it is noble and great, but ordinary people are always far away...... This feeling is something that many people do have.
This kind of ethereal thing is always unable to make everyone's feelings come true, and it is difficult to arouse the special motivation of those players who are bombarded by national education and leadership speeches and meetings all day long.
But now that Glory explained to them and made them realize that winning glory for the country was actually fighting for the fans who supported them, and suddenly they all became enlightened.
The fans who support them have been exposed to everyone, both at club and with the national team.
Especially in today's situation, they have seen countless such individuals outside the hotel and in the stadium stands, and countless of them have formed the words "Chinese fans".
They are so close to us that we can hear their shouts of "Come on, Chinese team", and we can also see their thumbs up and smiles on their faces, and we can empathize with their joy......
They are the people around us, with warmth and feelings.
We fight for them, to make them happy, to live up to their smiles.
Isn't this just to win glory for the country?
Because China ...... Our motherland is made up of these tens of millions, hundreds of millions of ordinary faces
To win glory for the country is to win glory for every countryman
Thinking of this, many players of the Chinese team puffed up their chests.
The Chinese fans in the stands outside were still chanting in unison: "...... The big knife is cut off at the heads of the devils."

When the Japanese players stood in the aisle waiting to play, at first their eyes were basically focused on Glory.
This is the biggest player in this Asian Cup, a world-class star on the same level as Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, and the idol of many football teenagers, and at the same time, they are also their biggest and most feared opponents in this game.
So it's normal to take a few more looks.
Glory is also accustomed to the process of receiving attention from others before the start of the competition every time.
Soon, however, the Japanese players turned their attention away from Rong Guang, and instead of withdrawing their gaze, they turned to other Chinese players
Because they suddenly found that every player of the Chinese team standing next to them suddenly was a little different from before.
Standing next to the Chinese players, they felt a little hot, as if the Chinese players were burning brightly......
Whether it is at the national team, the national Olympic team or the club level, Japan can be called China's old rivals, and players from the two countries have played against each other, so these Japanese players are very familiar with Chinese players, whether they are clubs or national teams.
They are all familiar.
Their biggest assessment of the Chinese players is that they are not confident enough.
Some Chinese players speak in a loud tone when facing Japanese players, and they are also very aggressive, but they are also unconfident expressions, and this kind of exaggerated expression is due to the lack of confidence in their hearts.
Why are you not confident?
Of course, it is because of the long-term backwardness of Chinese football, while Japanese football is rising rapidly, Chinese football is declining rapidly. In terms of the records of both sides, Chinese football does not have the upper hand at all, and when facing Japan again, even if it is very confident on the surface, it is actually a little panicked and worried in the heart. This worry will be revealed when something goes wrong in the game.
For example, the score is behind.
These Chinese players are too easy to lose their composure and self-confidence when they are down by the scoreline, either by being too impatient or giving up early.
These are their faults.
So in the past, when standing in the tunnel with the Japanese team players and waiting for the game, the Japanese team players rarely glanced at the Chinese players around them, and there was nothing to pay attention to at all.
But today, they felt a completely different momentum.
The players of the Chinese team suddenly became confident.
This confidence is so aggressive that the Japanese players feel like their momentum is about to materialize......

When the players of both sides walked out of the aisle and onto the pitch under the leadership of the referee team, they couldn't help but look at the stands.
The stands are generally red, generally blue, and distinct.
It's like fire and seawater.
These are all fans of the Chinese team and Japanese fans.
They came to Qatar in faraway West Asia from their respective countries to cheer on their team.
So when the players from both sides came out, they cheered.
The cheers were deafening and intertwined.
"Okay, the players on both sides played and wore a red jersey and walked on the right is the Chinese team, and the Japanese team is wearing a blue jersey and walks on the left......" Liu Hong, the commentator of the game, raised his voice in order not to be suppressed by the cheers of the fans at the scene, but just like that, it still sounds a little illusory in front of the TV.
The final commentator of the final was Liu Hong, who is not a popular commentator among Chinese netizens and fans, and many people complained that his commentary was not passionate and drowsy. But in this World Cup, his commentary has changed people's feelings, and there is no lack of passion.
And every now and then, some punchlines pop up.
Although his commentary is not as lyrical as He Ping's, it is better than that his feelings are sincere enough.
Why is that?
Because Liu Hong is a real Chinese fan, his feelings for Chinese football are beyond doubt.
Let him explain the finals, obviously CCTV leaders took a fancy to this.
The Chinese fans didn't have much meaning for this arrangement, because everyone was still a little looking forward to hearing Liu Hong shout that sentence in the final
"Time is running out for the Japanese team"
At that point, it's time to lift your breath

The Asian Cup trophy will be placed on the sidelines, and the two teams will be separated by the Asian Cup, one left and one right, and then step onto the pitch.
Television cameras and photojournalists' camera lenses were aimed at the place, hoping to capture something valuable.
For example, when the players pass by the Asian Cup, they look at the trophies.
But what surprised them was that no one in the Chinese team looked at this trophy.
It's like they don't see the trophy at all.
The Chinese players are so unsquinting, which is a bit surprising to everyone. You must know that when the Japanese players pass by the trophy, a few people turn their heads to look at the trophy.
It's not like looking at the trophy.
It's just a very natural movement and expression - there is such a shiny thing next to it, don't you look at it when you hit it? Even if it's just to confirm the specifics of this thing, so as not to touch it. Even if it's just a glance.
That means you know there's something next to it, and you've noticed it.
But the Chinese player's appearance is as if he didn't see this thing at all, which makes people suspicious.
This doesn't make sense.
There must be a reason.
What is the reason for this?
The commentator of Nippon TV also noticed this, and he gave his opinion: "It seems that the players of the Chinese team are still a little nervous about this final. After all, this is only the third time in their history that they have reached the Asian Cup final, and Sun Hai is the only one in this Chinese team who has experience in the Asian Cup final. The young people of the Chinese team were so nervous that their necks stiffened, and the way they walked looked like they were participating in a military parade rather than a competition......"
The guest next to him smiled: "This is a good thing for Japan." ”
Previously, the Japanese media analyzed the final and believed that although the Chinese team has high-level players in Europe like Rongguang and Gao Lin, their team is too young and has almost no experience in the finals, which will also be the biggest hidden danger for the Chinese team. They lacked experience in dealing with the unexpected situations in the final......
If the Japanese team wants to beat the Chinese team, they can do something in this regard.
They didn't know that when the Chinese players walked out of the aisle and saw that half of the stadium was dyed red by Chinese fans, they did have the feeling of participating in the National Day parade. They walked onto the pitch and were about to be inspected by the fans
It is a sacred and glorious sense of mission
The haze and clouds that shroud in the hearts of Chinese football and every Chinese fan are going to be kicked away with I640 today
