Chapter 191 Group Match 1
The main match of the 16th Asian Cup is about to start in a week.
The host country of this Asian Cup is Australia.
Although Australia joined the AFC ten years ago in 2005, it is not an Asian country after all.
In terms of food culture, climate and environment, there are big differences with Asian countries.
The members of the Dragon Team had to rush over in advance to adapt to the environment.
By the way, familiarize yourself with the venue.
Even Yan Zihao, who was recovering from his injuries, came along with him.
Even if you can't play in the first group match.
He also wants to be with his Dragons teammates all the time.
Even if it's just being a cheerleader!
Asian Cup matches in previous years.
Basically it is held in June and July.
Due to the climate in Australia, the Asian Cup will be held at the beginning of the year.
It just so happens that this period of time is the winter break of major European clubs.
For players who play in Europe, it is quite beneficial.
This convenient condition was originally only beneficial to a few countries such as Sakura Country, Korea Country, and Australia.
After all, these football powerhouses have many players playing in Europe.
But as the Dragon Team replaced the Dragon Kingdom team, it became the orthodoxy of the Dragon Kingdom.
The Dragons also got some convenience.
After all, more than half of the Dragons' 18-man roster play in Europe.
Except for Xiao Chenhui, who has become the captain of Brescia and the banner of the new generation.
Wu Lei's Espanyol team in La Liga, Zhang Xizhe's Hoffenheim team in the Bundesliga, and Yan Junling's Bologna team in Serie B have gradually become important rotation candidates for the head coach.
Also.
Wang Shangyuan's blue team and Gao Zhunyi's team in the second division of the cherry blossom country can be regarded as a firm foothold.
In addition, the four little swans who are emerging in the "Plan to Stay in Portugal".
Xu Xin of Atletico Madrid B team, Wei Shihao of Boavista B team, Liu Yiming and Yan Zihao of Sporting Lisbon team B also occupied places in their respective teams before the winter break.
Able to represent the B team of several clubs in the secondary league and get a lot of playing time.
Especially Wei Shihao, who was once promoted to the first team.
Played a few matches in the Portuguese Super League on behalf of Boavista.
It can be regarded as having made his debut in the mainstream European leagues.
This kind of experience makes them grow up very quickly.
If you put aside the game experience, their strength is not even worse than those big names in the Long Guo team.
And the attitude of the game should be more correct!
The will to fight is not comparable to those big names who are pampered and eat sea cucumbers.
In Xiao Chenhui's words.
Soldiers are more expensive than fine.
What about the 18-man roster?
You can still play the style that Longguo football should have!
Time passes day by day.
Matchday for the first group stage has finally arrived.
The Dragons will have a showdown with Chaoxian at the Canberra Stadium!
Chaoxian team has always had little influence in Asia.
However, in the past ten years, a group of talented players have emerged in the team.
The combat effectiveness has risen accordingly.
Anyone who treats them as fish bellies will definitely have to pay the price.
Lippi, the head coach of the Dragons, made a detailed analysis of this.
Although Chaoxian team is stronger than ever.
But they are still the weakest opponents in the group stage.
none of them.
And Lippi also pointed out.
The order of matches in the group stage is the best for the Dragons.
The opponent in the first game was Chaoxian, the weakest team in the group.
The second game is the mid-level Uzbekistan team.
In the last group match, they will meet Saudi Arabia, the strongest opponent in the group.
This sorting is exactly the opposite of the strong and weak order that the Long Guo team encountered when they made their only appearance in the 2002 World Cup.
If you compare your opponents to strong, weak, and sub-strong rhythms.
That time, after the Dragon Kingdom team confronted Costa Rica, their weakest opponent.
They ran into the most powerful Samba country in the group stage head-on.
At that time, the Samba Kingdom had a frightening "3R" combination.
Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho trident.
It was definitely the strongest attacking combination in that era.
none of them!
It was because of the power of the "3R" combination that Samba beat the Dragons 4:0.
Let the Long Guo team lose face.
Later, the country of Samba swept all the powerhouses and successfully won the championship of that World Cup.
After the Long Guo team played against Samba, their confidence was shattered.
Was eliminated early on.
And in this Asian Cup group stage.
The Dragon Team just happened to encounter the "easy first and then difficult" order of battle.
Start answering the paper with the easiest questions.
It's better than starting with the hardest questions.
Players from both sides enter the court with their caddies.
Each stood in a row.
Canberra Stadium.
The trendy team song sounded first.
In international competitions, the team's anthem is generally the national anthem of the country.
So when the melody just burst out the first scale.
Chaoxian's first 11 players raised their heads and patted their chests.
Sing loudly.
This game belongs to the "home court" of Chaoxian team.
So the first thing the game played was their team song.
After a few minutes.
It was the Dragon Team's turn to play the team song.
The familiar melody of "March of the Volunteers" did not sound.
It was replaced by "The Lone Warrior".
Due to the secret constraints of the Longguo Pig Association.
It has issued two documents to the AFC, stating that the Dragon Team is not the "regular army" of Dragon Country football and has no right to use the Dragon Country flag and team song.
As a result, the AFC review failed.
The Dragon Team had no choice but to replace the most familiar melody in the hearts of countless Dragon Kingdom people with "The Lonely Brave".
Simultaneously.
The flag that symbolizes the 5000-year-old culture of the Dragon Kingdom is also not allowed to be used by the Dragon Team.
Monica had to fight for several days and nights.
While delving into the cultural history of the Dragon Kingdom, he painstakingly designed a new team flag.
In the end, a team flag was designed that was in line with the Golden Dragon Blood Robe of the Dragon Team.
Mainly bright red.
A golden oriental dragon is embroidered on it, surrounded by four golden dragon balls.
This team flag is called "Ode to the Dragon Flag".
Listen to the passionate melody.
Looking at the "Ode to the Dragon Flag" with rich culture of the Dragon Kingdom in his hand.
Xiao Chenhui and the members of the Dragon Team.
But my heart was very lost.
"The Lone Brave" is nice though.
But how much they hope that what is being played at this moment is the real team song of Longguo!
Although the "Ode to the Dragon Flag" is beautiful.
But how much they wish they were holding the five-star battle flag in their hands!
just wait.
One day.
The Dragon Team will make the "March of the Volunteers" resound in the hall.
One day.
The Dragon Team will let the five-star battle flag flutter on top of the world!
This journey may be long.
But the bow did not turn back.
Since there is no way back, then go forward.
Knock out a path from the mountain wall in front of you!
Dragon team.
Win!
