Amid the heated discussion and longing, the game day is here.

This game kicked off at 9:00 pm Beijing time. Before this game, there was another game where the Japanese team played against Australia at home.

That game was also very concerned by everyone.

If Australia beats Japan away, they will become the third in the group with six points and push Oman over, which will put Oman in greater pressure and also work harder at home. If they want to defeat the Chinese team, what else will happen?

However, if Australia defeats Japan, then as long as the Chinese team can defeat Oman, it will be the first in the group again, which is a good thing.

If the Japanese team defeats Australia, they will qualify two rounds in advance. This is not a good thing or a bad thing for the Chinese team. Will the Japanese team that qualify early not be so desperate when the next game against the Chinese team?

But it’s hard to say. Although they qualify early, the Japanese team may not be willing to lose to the Chinese team, and then let the Chinese team finally win the first place in the group, right?

The game kicked off at 6:30 pm Beijing time.

There was also live broadcast in China.

The opponent's game is also worth paying attention to.

In the end, the two teams did not decide the winner, but tied 1:1.

This result made Chinese fans very happy.

The Japanese team did not widen the points gap with the Chinese team.

If the Chinese team can defeat Oman away, they will not only qualify early, but will also become the first in the group again.

Although both the first and second in the group can obtain the right to qualify for the World Cup, the competitor is the Japanese team, so Chinese people hope that their national team can beat Japan and advance to the World Cup finals as the first in the group.

Not long after the match between Japan and Australia, the Chinese team was about to kick off the away game against Oman.

The game that started at 9 o'clock in Beijing time is simply "golden time" in terms of broadcast time, and is better than the one that opened at 6:30, because many people probably haven't returned home yet at 6:30. Today is not a rest day, but Tuesday and weekdays. If it is 6:30, many people are still on the way home from get off work, which is impossible to see.

But it was great at 9:30. Everyone went home and had dinner. It was a good time to sit in front of the TV and watch the game.

But for Chinese players, this is not a good arrangement.

Muscat, the capital of Oman, is located in the East Fourth District, while Beijing is the East Eight District. It is 9 pm Beijing time and 5 pm in Muscat. The heat of the day has not yet dissipated and the temperature remains high. You should know that Muscat, as a Middle Eastern city, is very hot every year.

Here, the average temperature in June is between 30 and 40 degrees.

Generally speaking, if the Chinese team plays in the Middle East, the country will basically broadcast in the early morning. At that time, local time is often at night, and the climate is a little cooler.

But Muscat arranged the game at 5:00 pm. It is conceivable what they want to do, which is also a manifestation of maximizing the "home court advantage".

The hot and dry climate is one of Oman's "home court advantages".

If the temperature wasn't too high at noon, they would probably dare to schedule the game at two or three o'clock in the afternoon. That kind of Chinese players might be sunk in a few minutes... How could they have combat effectiveness?

But even the kick-off game at five o'clock is a severe test for Chinese players.

Before the game started, He Ping, who went to the front to comment on the game, kept wiping his sweat with a tissue on the commentary seat, and then introduced the temperature here to the audience in front of the TV: "I sat on the commentary seat, and there was a sunshade above my head. I felt that the heat was hard to take, and sweat kept coming out. I really don't know how the players would feel in such a hot weather..."

The sun was still high at five o'clock, and it shone on the court, making the green turf white.

But such a hot weather still cannot withstand the enthusiasm of Chinese fans. Although it is a distant away game, more than a thousand Chinese fans still come to watch the game. In addition to employees of Chinese institutions who are originally from Oman and nearby Middle Eastern countries, there are also fans who come from China specifically.

They all hope to witness the Chinese team reaching the World Cup finals for the second time on the spot.

In addition to these thousand Chinese fans, all of them are Oman fans. There are many men wearing traditional Arabic clothes in the stands, and there are only a handful of female fans.

This is a country with a strong religious tradition.

The Chinese fans in the stands were arranged in the worst stands - facing the sun, exposed to the scorching sun without any obstruction.

This is of course one of Oman's "home court advantages".

Before the game started, many Chinese fans were listless after being sunburned. They used everything they could use to block their eyes and put their clothes on their heads to prevent sunburn. At this time, they all understood why the traditional Arabs in the desert had headscarves, which was to prevent sunburn...

Someone was whispering: "This ghost weather, the weather forecast says that the highest temperature today is forty-three degrees!"

"Yes, I checked it online. It seems that there are very few high temperatures in the local area in early June..."

"We are so lucky. We actually met. I hope the national team will not be affected by any influence..."

"How could it not be affected? I now feel that our national team is satisfied if they can draw away. When we return to the home court, we will use the Japanese sacrificial flag to qualify on the Japanese corpse! The most important thing is not to be injured in this game..."

The time and temperature of this game are also hotly discussed on the Internet.

It is well known that high temperatures are not conducive to outdoor sports, and the Chinese team players are not known for their physical fitness. In addition, the combat effectiveness guarantees that the returnees are very tired. It is also an unknown number of strength they can exert in this kind of weather...

Many people suddenly became pessimistic and felt that the Chinese team could tie Oman in this game, even if they survived.

Chinese fans are worried about the fate of the national team.

But in the locker room, the Chinese players were relatively calm. Although the temperature today was indeed a bit beyond their imagination. But after all, they had been training in Oman for ten days and had adapted to the temperature here. If they were not adapted and came here to play, they might be at a loss by this problem.

Gao Hongbo took off his suit jacket and exposed the shirt inside. The back and both armpits were wet with sweat. You should know that he was just standing outside for a while while the player was warming up...

The players also changed their clothes when they went out to warm up. Some players simply didn't have to hurry to wear them, naked and let sweat flow on their bodies, which would be a little more comfortable.

Gao Hongbo is giving the players his final advice.

"Today's temperature is higher than the sky, so everyone should pay attention to allocating their physical fitness reasonably when playing for a while. Don't rush and beat hard as soon as you get up, and then you lose your strength. Remember, the game is ninety minutes, not nineteen minutes. You have to consider it thoroughly."

During the warm-up, many players could already predict how difficult it would be to play today - those who went out to warm up were almost overturned by the rolling heat waves, and the temperature gave them a warning.

It’s not that people feel bored after finishing warm-up…

This game will indeed be difficult to play.

At the same time, in the Oman locker room, their head coach Regon is encouraging his players: "I heard that such high temperatures are extremely rare locally today. What does this mean? It means that God is favoring us! This is a great opportunity for us to beat them at home - if such weather is rare even us, wouldn't it be even more unsuitable for the Chinese team? And their returnees are still very tired! So don't be afraid of them! So what about the European championship? It's not the Champions League, but the World Cup qualifiers! This is not Germany with pleasant climate, but Muscat, at our home court!"

Regon motivates players with infectious language.

Oman players are indeed very encouraged.

The unexpected high temperature today is rare, but why did it appear on the day when they played against the Chinese team? It is believed that it is Allah's will. This is God's enlightenment, which indicates that they can definitely defeat the powerful Chinese team at home!

When Oman's team members were very excited when they thought of this.
