After two days of training in Japan, the Sino-Japanese War finally came.

This game is 6:30 pm on September 11, Beijing time, that is, 7:30 pm local time.

In Japan, it was already dark at this time, and all the lights at Tokyo National Arena were turned on, illuminating the stadium.

In China, countless fans were waiting in front of the TV early, waiting for the game to come. The TV station was not idle either. They started live broadcasting programs at four o'clock in the afternoon, with guests discussing in the studio in the back, and reporters from the front to report on the game from multiple perspectives.

In addition to the fact that this is the time that the Chinese team has participated in the top 12 games in the past 11 years, the grudge between China and Japan has been in all aspects, which is why everyone pays so much attention to this game.

If it were an opponent like Oman, although he was fighting at home, the live broadcast lineup was not that strong.

At 4:30 Beijing time, the entire Chinese team appeared in the hotel lobby and was about to take the bus to the stadium.

The fans waiting outside the hotel saw the Chinese players shouting excitedly, slapped through the glass.

From the camera, it can be seen that when Chinese players were waiting to get on the bus in the lobby, they gathered together in groups of three or five and chatted, and it was quite relaxing to just look at their expressions.

I don’t know if it’s really relaxing or pretending to be calm in front of the camera.

Zhou Yi is the most concerned target. He followed his teammates in the National Olympic Team from the elevator and greeted everyone he met, as usual.

Because it was a little late, the sand in the hotel lobby was already full, so he directly found a place where he could not block the way and stood and chatted with Yang Muge, Guo Nu, He Ying and others.

No one can hear what they are talking about, and to prevent reporters from reading their lips, they cover their mouths with their hands while chatting, so that the camera can not capture their crimes. This is also a habit that everyone has developed on the court.

During the game, there were many cameras facing the players, and anything the players did on the court could not escape the camera's "eye". For example, Lehman once ran under the billboard to pee in the middle of the game, and the camera recorded the whole process...

Sometimes players will say some inappropriate words when they are excited during the game. If they leave the football field, the players may not remember them themselves and will not have any impact. But if they are photographed by the camera, it may become a problem after the game. At first, the players felt that they were wearing microphones and could not hear anything outside, so they were unscrupulous. But later the media invited lip-talk experts to interpret the players' lip shapes and judge what they said through their lip shapes. In order to avoid trouble, the players began to cover their mouths and talk to people.

Although the reporters didn't know what Zhou Yi was talking to his teammates, they would laugh from time to time when they saw them. It seemed that they were in a good mood and were really relaxed.

After chatting for a while, the bus drove to the hotel entrance. The coaching staff appeared and assistant coach Fu Bo began to greet the team members.

Then everyone walked towards the bus while covering their hands and chatting with their hands.

As the players walked out of the lobby, the Chinese fans waiting beside them waved the national flag and shouted to the players: "Come on China! Come on China!"

Some players waved to them and received a lot of cheers.

Amid the cheers of fans and the shutter of reporters pressing the camera, the bus that the entire Chinese team was riding closed the door, then slowly started and drove towards the stadium.

At the same time, on the other side, the players of the Japanese national team also took the bus and drove towards the stadium. At the entrance of the hotel where they were staying, a large number of Japanese fans came to cheer them on.

The Japanese team has played three games in this top ten match, and the result is two wins and one draw. This result is also good. The draw they won was tied 1:1 away from Australia. If there were no Chinese team, the result would be considered good. After all, they tied Australia away.

But now with the Chinese team, the Japanese team's current advantage seems a bit precarious. If they cannot win the Chinese team at home, it is hard to say what will happen if they go to the Chinese team's home court.

So the Japanese side also cheered up and went all out to prepare for the game against the Chinese team. They recalled all overseas players who could be recalled.

※※※

When the bus drove to the stadium, the list of the two teams was also made public.

There is nothing outside of the Taiwan Strait in Japan, and head coach Zacheroni has sent the strongest lineup they can send.

And China is what everyone cares about most about this. Whether it is Japanese journalists or Chinese journalists, they are concerned about it.

This list will answer many questions you have had this week.

When the list was announced, everyone realized that although Gao Hongbo recruited several players from the National Olympic Team to join the national team in one go, the only player of the National Olympic Team that really appeared in the lineup was He Ying and Zhou Yi, so he was not regarded as a person who was promoted to the national team by the National Olympic Team. Before Zhang Linpeng participated in the Olympic Games, although the National Olympic Team and the National Team took into account both the National Olympic Team, overall, the national team played more, because the national team played more than the National Olympic Team...

This surprised everyone. Japanese reporters have been speculating before the game that Gao Hongbo should send new players from the National Olympic Team, because these people have just fought with the Japanese National Olympic Team and have the freshest experience in the match. At the same time, because they beat the Japanese National Olympic Team, they also have a more psychological advantage.

Unexpectedly, Gao Hongbo only arranged one national Olympic player to enter the lineup. Yang Muge, Guo Nu, Cao Yun and Wu Lei were all outside the roster.

This is something that the Japanese media did not understand. In their previous predictions, Guo Nu and Yang Muge definitely deserved it. In the Olympic finals with the Japanese team, their two strokes also left a very deep impression on Japanese journalists and fans.

When Kenyyo Sugimoto was just replaced, Guo Nu was at a disadvantage in the confrontation because he didn't know him well enough and the dazzling sunlight and other objective factors. But soon he used his strength and jumping advantages to regain the initiative, and Kenyyo Sugimoto was unable to create any threats again.

What about Yang Muge? At first, he was not showing any signs of the game. However, when the Japanese team was two goals behind and wanted to "break" with the Chinese team, Yang Muge stood up and used his outstanding positioning and tough defense to resolve the fierce counterattack of the Japanese team invisibly.

These two people may not be as good as Zhou Yi, Sun Pan and He Ying, and are attracting attention, but they are definitely an important cornerstone for the team.

Many Japanese reporters even believe that Gao Hongbo can not play against He Ying, and Yang Muge and Guo Nu. After all, the most priority of away games is not to lose the ball. Facing the home team's aggressive offensive, tough enough defense is the most important thing.

But as a result, Gao Hongbo did not play Yang Muge and Guo Nu, but He Ying, who seemed to want to strengthen the offense and planned to have a head-on battle with his opponent at home.

Japanese reporters don’t know whether they should say that Gao Hongbo has the courage or that he is irrational...

But in the eyes of Chinese journalists, there is another meaning, Gao Hongbo finally learned more maturely... He finally did not make a big sweep in his team and replaced half of the team in one breath. This is right, it is correct.

The Chinese journalists breathed a sigh of relief. As Chinese people, they know Chinese football best and Chinese players. They had been worried that Gao Hongbo's radical methods would lead to internal strife and make the team lose their combat effectiveness.

In China, a society that emphasizes human feelings, doing everything is actually a human being in the end. Gao Hongbo won the league championship in Changchun Yatai, but ended up being swept out. In fact, many people think that Gao Hongbo did not do well in his life.

If he continues to be stubborn in the national team, even if he has led this team to the runner-up in the Asian Cup, it may not be guaranteed that his position in the national team will be stable.

Gao Hongbo’s current approach actually means that he will not take a very radical approach, so he still chose to respect the current national team players more. He recruited a large number of players from the National Olympic Team, perhaps hoping to give national team players more stimulation on the training ground and cultivate their competitive awareness, but it is not really about to beat them up with one stick.

This is the result that Chinese journalists want to see the most.

Ensuring the stability of the team is to ensure the combat effectiveness of the team.

When playing against Japan away, we need stability and combat effectiveness.

Anyway, with Zhou Yi in mind, the Chinese team may not be able to compete with the Japanese team.

That's right, in the eyes of Chinese reporters, Zhou Yi is like a god descending to earth, without a problem that he cannot solve. This is the same as the teammates of the national team's feelings for Zhou Yi. No matter when and where, or when encountering difficulties, Zhou Yi is the trustworthy person.

In the first game of the top ten games, the fierce Qatar and Zhou Yi helped the team successfully swipe their cards away.

In the second game, he returned to his home court and faced the weakest team recognized by the group, Oman, the Chinese team performed poorly. In the end, Zhang Linpeng's header made a difficult victory. Although that goal was scored by Zhang Linpeng, the corner kick that caused this goal was indeed created by Zhou Yi's long-range shot.

Zhou Yi has used his actual performance in the Asian Cup, the top ten and the Olympics to make everyone feel that he is almost omnipotent.

This time, Zhou Yi is also the biggest reliance for Chinese media and fans to fight against Japan away.

As for the others... as long as they can cooperate with Zhou Yi well, this national team cooperated with Zhou Yi in the Asian Cup, performed well, and won the runner-up, so the national team's foundation is fine, and there is no need to change too many people in one breath...

Looking at this list, many Chinese journalists are full of hope for this game. In their eyes, this is a national team with rich experience and tacit cooperation. If Zhou Yi is missing in the Asian Cup, he can still fight against the Japanese team for a long time. Now with Zhou Yi, isn’t it like a tiger? (To be continued.)8
