The players on both sides ended their warm-up and returned to their respective locker rooms. The time to start the game is getting closer and closer, and there is not much time left for the two teams to make the final adjustments. . The fastest update

Although this game does not matter whether it qualifies or not, it is related to the dignity of the two teams.

Especially the Chinese team, they just got the right to qualify. If they lose to their arch rivals Japan at home, wouldn’t that be too disgusting?

This game is equivalent to the qualifying celebration of the Chinese team. How can they allow Japan to make trouble?

In the locker room of the Chinese team, the returned internationals were wiping sweat from their bodies with towels, and then changing into dry appearance jerseys. The leg guards were stuffed into shoes and socks, and the shoelaces were untied and tied. Everyone was checking carefully.

It was like the soldiers about to go out to check their weapons.

After Gao Hongbo came in, he did not rush to speak, but stood in a corner of the door and watched the players do their work quietly.

It was not until everyone was ready that he spoke: "Actually, I originally planned to compete with the Japanese team for the right to qualify at home, but the plan could not keep up with the changes, so there was no need now." He said with a smile.

"This is a good thing. Now you can put down some of your burdens and enjoy purer football."

He did not emphasize the significance of the Chinese-Japanese football duel. He was worried that this would make the players nervous, but instead performed poorly.

He was not worried that doing so would make the Chinese team players careless. The Chinese people would not underestimate the competition between China and Japan, no matter what the event it was, and so did football. When he was not strong before, the matches between China and Japan attracted much attention, let alone the Chinese team's strength has improved now.

On the other hand, Italian Zacheroni is passing his instructions to the Japanese players in the locker room through an interpreter.

"I read the reports in Japan. Some people think it's a fight of revenge. But I think you're too nervous and relax. We've already qualified, just treat it as a warm-up match before the World Cup."

The Italian spoke very relaxedly, with a smile on his face.

He infects the players through his own expressions and language, so that they can relax and not be too nervous.

Although everyone outside thought this game was very important and critical, the head coaches of the two teams chose to cool down the team to make their final advice.

In this regard, the head coaches of the two teams have a consensus that they are not afraid of their players not paying enough attention to it, what they are afraid of is that they pay too much attention to it.

Paying too much attention will lead to tension, and nervousness will not be able to perform at a normal level, which may lead to losing.

Although the head coaches of both teams look very calm, no one wants to lose to the other.

In the south stand of Helong Stadium, a huge tio has been displayed. On the huge painting, a winding road extends from the lower left corner to the upper right corner. Next to this road are some pictures. These pictures are all related to the Chinese team. If you look carefully, you will find that they are all the game scenes of the Chinese team in the top ten matches, which are expressed in a hand-painted way.

The footage of the road is a statue of Jesus on the mountain of Jesus, a landmark building in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Below the frame is a sentence: "Brazil, we are here!"

After this tio appeared in the stands, it attracted the attention of almost everyone. The director of the live game ordered the camera to aim at the tio. In today's domestic games, there are few such huge tios. Combined with the enthusiasm of Chinese fans, this is a really great picture.

But the enthusiasm of Changsha fans is not limited to this.

When the players on both sides appeared, there was a thunderous cheer on the scene.

Chinese players have also noticed Tio. It is too big and can't help but not notice it.

In everyone's attention, something shook at the top of the stands, and then accompanied by cheers, a five-star red flag of the same size as Tio poured down from the top like a waterfall, slowly unfolding, covering Tio.

With the support of the fans, this huge national flag was like waves in the south stands, as if the wind was really blowing it.

Seeing the national flag appearing intact in front of everyone, there was a tsunami of cheers like thunder and thunder.

Duan Xin, who was commenting on the game on the spot, also said excitedly: "It's so amazing! Changsha fans use such a creative way to cheer for the Chinese team!"

Then, when the players on both sides stood still, the flag was always "flying" in the stands.

All fans stood in front of their seats and sang the national anthem, and so were the national team players on the court.

The national anthem was sung and the national flag slowly closed down.

When the Japanese national anthem was played, sporadic booing sounded in the stands, but overall, Chinese fans still gave the opponent full respect.

Next, the two sides shook hands. When Zhou Yi and Shinji Kagawa shook hands, the two patted each other's arms and shoulders.

When Yang Muge shook hands with Atsuto Uchida, he said a few more words. They both played for Schalke 04 and were teammates and were familiar with each other.

After shaking hands, there were procedures such as exchanging team flags, picking sides, etc.... China won the right to pick sides, so Japan got the right to kick the ball.

The players on both sides have stood in their respective positions and the game is about to begin.

The Helong Stadium, which had been very noisy before, suddenly became quiet, as if a needle could be heard.

In this silence, the referee's whistle is particularly clear.

"Ah, the game begins!"

※※※

The Japanese team took advantage of the kick-off opportunity to take possession of the ball on their own and did not rush forward.

They are away games. Although they want to win, they also need to pay attention to methods and methods. They can't just rush up and attack to win, right? The Bushido spirit is not used in such places...

In the tactics arranged by Zachelloni for them, the Japanese team must first slow down the pace of the game and not let the game fall into the rhythm that the Chinese team hopes and wants. He imagines that the Chinese team is definitely eager to win at their home court, so they will find ways to make the game faster after the game, which is in line with their definition of home court.

If the Japanese team is confident in their own strength and attacks against the Chinese team, they may fall into the opponent's rhythm.

In that case, it would be like being led by the Chinese team.

Of course, Zacheroni should avoid this.

So he asked the team to slow down the speed when they came up and use slowness to fight against the Chinese team's speed.

It would be even better if the Chinese team could be attracted and then hit behind them.

The Japanese team's midfield has always been very strong, and in this regard, Japan is also confident.

They were dealing with the Chinese team in the midfield.

The Chinese team did show great fighting spirit at the beginning of the game. The Japanese team fell in the backcourt and rushed forward to put pressure.

Logically speaking, at this time, the Japanese team should play a defensive counterattack, right?

But the situation is not that simple.

Because the Chinese team's crazy snatch in the frontcourt obviously exceeded the Japanese team's expectations. The Chinese team's players were like a group of mad dogs, running tirelessly on the court, and sometimes even two people snatched one person.

This made the Japanese team a little unexpected, and they did not expect the Chinese team to press so much...

Starting from the forward He Ying who was heading in the front, they were all running, running from point a to point b, then from point b to point, or running back to point a.

Only Zhou Yi is an exception, he did not run directly to the Japanese players who took the ball.

Compared with his teammates, he seems not active enough.

This is strange. Zhou Yi has never been a player with a negative attitude towards the game. When he was at Dortmund, he would fight for the last second. Of course, he also "walked" on the court in Dortmund, but that was always a time when he was fighting for the physical bottleneck in a game. He accumulated strength for the final sprint, not a negative game or a lazy game.

And now? The competition has just started for more than a minute, and Zhou Yi's physical fitness is far from the bottleneck, right?

Could it be...

Someone has a bad word in his mind.

"Playing a big shot".

This word is definitely not a compliment.

Of course, with Zhou Yi's status in Dortmund and his achievements in Europe this season, it is absolutely no problem to say that he is the number one star of the Chinese team. He is also qualified to be a big shot.

But if this happened to Zhou Yi, it would still be surprising.

Just when everyone was thinking so wildly, on the court, Endo, who was forced to do so, quickly passed the football under his feet in a direction he thought he could pass the ball.
