Chapter 249 Before the war(1/3)
"China's G team defeated Carter 3-0, successfully avenging the Battle of Golden State three years ago"
The 3-0 victory made the fans full of confidence.
"I'm just saying, with Coach Zeng here, can we still fail to beat Caterpillar?"
"If you ask me, Coach Zeng should have played in that game at Golden State in 1997. You see, this player used the same Lee Iron, but his performance was completely different under different coaches!"
"Don't think about good things. If it hadn't been for losing to Qatar in 1997, I might still be coaching Da Qi now! If you ask me, we have to thank Qatar for selecting such a good country for us.
Team coach!”
"Yes, if this trend continues, I feel like China's G team might be able to win the Asian Cup!"
"Do you still have feelings? The championship is ours!"
The Asian Cup has entered this stage, and some foreign media have also begun to pay attention to it.
Seeing Team G advancing to the semi-finals, the most emotional person was none other than General Fan.
After the game, reporters from England immediately found General Fan, who had just put on the captain's armband at the Crystal Palace in League One, and interviewed Zeng Zheng and some of his opinions on the prospects of Team G.
General Fan: "I gave up this Asian Cup on my own initiative."
"Actually, Coach Zeng had discussed this with me before the Olympics."
"He told me that in order to give newcomers a chance to practice, there is only one choice between the Olympics and the Asian Cup."
"What I was thinking at the time was that we finally made it to the Olympic Games, so we must not show our cowardice at the Olympics. In addition, we did not qualify for the Olympics in 1992, so I chose the Olympics."
"But looking at it now, we have reached the semi-finals of the Asian Cup and are very likely to win the Asian Cup championship."
"Although I have participated in the Asian Cup, I have not won the Asian Cup championship. I really want to taste the taste of the Asian Cup championship."
"As for there are two games left, it's hard to say who will lose and who will win."
"Small life may not be able to destroy us, and we may not be able to destroy our small life."
"Of course, I have great confidence in Coach Zeng and his teammates."
"After all, it was Coach Zeng who led us to win the Olympic bronze medal."
"Haha, you can't have your cake and eat it too!"
"I have already won the Olympic bronze medal as an over-age player, so don't think about winning the Asian Cup."
"But in my opinion, reaching the semi-finals is the starting point."
"I hope that in the next games, the Chinese G team can continue their efforts and reach a higher level!"
General Fan spoke modestly, but the sadness in his expression could not be concealed.
Through the video, fans saw in front of the camera the captain of the national team who regretted not participating in the Asian Cup with the team.
Once upon a time, the China G team had become so "strong" that it no longer needed this mainstay veteran, and the fans were also sighing.
Afterwards, General Fan briefly commented on the players who appeared.
"...Heizi's performance is still very calm. I feel relieved with him behind me."
"...Xiao Wei (Li Weifeng) already has the air of a general. He will definitely become my successor."
"...Ma's long-range shot was so beautiful. It's hard to imagine that he can still kick that kind of shot now."
"...Yang Chen's strength must be at the national level. Before he became famous, Coach Zeng was very optimistic about him."
After talking a lot, in General Fan's opinion, even Zhou Ning, who was replaced by Zeng Zheng during the halftime break, had certain merits.
General Fan is such a "good old man", either to give Zeng Zheng face, or he really thinks that these team members are really good.
Recalling that in the last Asian Cup, the national captain of the Chinese G team had an argument with Liu Yue on the court. They were completely different.
For this reason, the fans were also sighing.
The fans don’t give orders randomly, the players don’t fight among themselves, and the Chinese G team is finally “professional”!
At the end of the interview, General Fan specifically stated that although Zeng Zheng asked him to focus on club competitions, he would come back immediately as long as the country needed him.
And he plays in England in order to be in better condition to play in the World Cup.
Although these words were not stated explicitly, his desire to come back and play in the world preliminaries was as clear as Sima Zhao's.
Think about it too.
General Fan is 31 this year, how many more years can he play?
Many fans even strongly requested Zeng Zheng to temporarily recruit General Fan to come back to participate in the Asian Cup after reading this interview, so as to fulfill his dream of not winning the Asian Cup.
Of course, the AFC does not allow it.
...
As General Fan said, breaking into the top four is the starting point.
This is not true at all.
After the Chinese G team's match, the results of the other two venues also came out one after another.
Xiaotian defeated Yinlak 4-1, Saudi Arabia defeated Thailand 3-2, and Southern Korea defeated Yinli 2-1.
In addition to the promotion of Xiaotian and Saudi Arabia, which met expectations, the promotion of Southern Dynasty indeed exceeded the expectations of most fans.
Nanchao, which lost to China G team 0-8 in the opening match, actually eliminated Yin L team, the favorite to win this Asian Cup?
You must know that after Nanchao lost, almost all China G fans regarded Team Yin as the imaginary enemy of Team China G to win the championship.
But who would have thought that Yin, who has big-name players such as Ali Daiyin and Madavekia, would fall before the semi-finals.
As a result, all three East Asian countries have entered the semi-finals, leaving only the desert eagle trembling.
Such results also made many countries in West Asia express dissatisfaction.
"Yinli Sports News" believes that it is precisely because the AFC temporarily decided to change the venue and time of the Asian Cup that the schedule of the Yinli players and club was disrupted, which led to the lack of enterprising spirit among the players.
The Lebanese media also took advantage of this to add insult to injury, saying that if Ajulian had not "forced" the change, they, who were supposed to be the hosts, would have at least made it to the quarterfinals.
Yin Loke also said that such a schedule is completely geared towards East Asian teams, and the purpose is to allow East Asian teams to achieve a higher ranking.
Faced with aggressive questions from foreign media, Zhang Jilong gave a strong reply.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! 1: We are Yingya Bamboo Curtain to take over the Asian Cup, and we have also given compensation, everything is legal and compliant.
2: We also faced many difficulties during this temporary takeover, but we overcame them one by one.
Here, Zhang Jilong also presented the site evaluation reports of the three places hosting the Asian Cup, as well as the basic environmental construction of the hotels where each team will stay, all of which have reached or above the international 4-star standard.
It can be said that in taking over the Asian Cup this time, we have done our best from beginning to end.
Three: As for the schedule issue, it is even more nonsense, because the order of the matches after the knockout rounds has been determined long ago, not to mention that the Chinese G team almost eliminated the Southern Dynasty directly in the group stage.
Speaking of which, China G fans would rather see Team Yin advance than see their old enemy occupy a semi-final position.
Zhang Jilong's speech was sonorous and powerful, not only supported by good data, but also supported by Yazhulian.
No matter which angle you look at it, we are the winners in this East-West game.
The Southern Dynasties did rely on their "geographical" advantage to eliminate Team Yin from the competition.
After some simple criticism, those West Asian media no longer focused on the Asian Cup.
For them, moving closer to Europe is the most important thing.
...
After the semi-finals are decided, the schedule will be automatically arranged.
The semi-finals between the Chinese G team and Xiaozili will still be held in Maojiawan, Chengdu. In other words, the Chinese G team only needs to wait for work, while the Xiaozili team will have to come from Guangzhou.
On the other hand, the semi-final between South Korea and Saudi Arabia was scheduled to be held in Guangzhou, which has only hosted one quarter-final venue.
As a result, Southern Korea and Saudi Arabia, both of which played their semifinals in Wuhan, will move to Guangdong.
This is also a "little trick" played by Squadron G as the host.
After experiencing the 1999 Women's World Cup, Zhongg Bamboo Shoes has learned this skill very well!
If Shanghai had not temporarily stepped in to host the finals of this Asian Cup, China G team would not have changed places until the end of the Asian Cup.
Moreover, Shanghai only hosts the finals, not the third or fourth place finals.
So if the Chinese G team loses in the semi-finals, there is still no need to change places.
But in order to win the Asian Cup, going to Shanghai is more in line with everyone’s expectations!
After Xiaori arrived in Maojiawan, he was surrounded by reporters just like the other three teams.
Troussier, who had seen big scenes, was very calm.
He said that he came here this time to compete with the national team led by Zeng Zheng.
"Xiaotian has never defeated Yin Lak in history, but everyone has seen the results and we have made history."
"This is not only because of our outstanding performance in this Asian Cup, but also because Xiaotian Football is currently in a positive and enterprising mentality. Winning is naturally a natural result."
"As for the Sino-Japanese war, the disadvantage is that China's G team has one more day of rest than us, and they are waiting for work. We have never set foot on this football field."
