Chapter 377 Chinese Team: I'm not targeting anyone

The Chinese team, which had two consecutive victories, secured the first place in the group and advanced to the quarterfinals one round ahead of schedule, which made the Chinese team's group stage in the third round with Qatar a little useless.

However, for the other three teams in the same group who still have hope of promotion, the Chinese team plays the role of referee. The Chinese team's attitude in this game will ultimately determine who can advance among the three teams.

If the Chinese team loses money in the last game and loses easily to Qatar, it will be difficult for both Bahrain and Indonesia to advance. Because this means that Qatar's points will reach 4 points.

At the same time, because Qatar only lost 1:2 to the Indonesian team in the first round, even if the Chinese team only lost 1 goal, Qatar's goal difference will be cleared. If he can win more than 2 goals, Qatar's goal difference can become a positive number.

However, because both Bahrain and Indonesian teams lost to the Chinese team, their current goal difference is relatively large, and it is very difficult to clear zero.

The Bahrain team is a little better. Their current goal difference is -3. As long as they can win three goals, they can achieve a goal difference. However, the Indonesian team was in a miserable situation, because they suffered a 0:7 defeat against the Chinese team, resulting in their goal difference now being -6, which is completely impossible to clear the zero.

If the Chinese team does not let go and defeat Qatar, even if it is tied with Qatar, it will be much easier for Bahrain and Indonesian teams to advance.

Especially for the Indonesian team, they only need a draw to ensure that they advance to the second place in the group.

……………………

Before the third round of the game began, both Indonesian and Bahrain called on the media to abide by the principle of fair competition. Qatar was talking about the friendship between China and Kazakhstan, and his intention was to let the Chinese team go to the game.

As for the Chinese team, Alihan naturally talked about fair competition before the game started, saying that the Chinese team would take every game seriously, which made both the Bahrain and Indonesian team very happy, while the Qatari almost cursed.

However, when the starting lineup of the Zhongka Battle was released, the attitudes of the three teams took a 180-degree turn. The Bahrain team and the Indonesian team began to curse, and Qatar began to be happy.

Because Alihan did not hesitate to let many Chinese main players, including Yin Jun and Dong Fengzhuo, take a rest, and sent most of the substitutes to play.

Although I knew from the starting lineup that Yin Jun would not play, the Chinese team locked the first place in the group one round ahead of schedule and made the fans very happy. They also went to the scene to support the team in this game.

At around 1 pm, fans began to gather around the stadium. At around 5 o'clock, many fans were already queuing up at various entrances to enter the court. In front of each entrance, the fans lined up formed a square formation, waiting for the start of the "party", and the scene was amazing. A fat foreigner also came to take advantage of the bustling, holding the Chinese flag, and leading everyone to shout "Come on".

About half an hour before the start of the game, more and more fans were gathered in the stands, and many fans were still entering the field one after another. The stands on the east and west sides were basically full, and two groups of organized fans in uniform clothing gathered on the two corners of the southeast and northeast. They beat gongs and drums, and the atmosphere was very lively.

By the time the game started, the huge workers' stadium was full.

……………………

When reading the list of Chinese teams, the fans of the audience welcomed their team with deafening cheers, and then Xiong Liang's "Unity is Strength" sounded on the spot, which must be the masterpiece of the People's Liberation Army soldiers on the scene.

After the game started, every time the Chinese team took the ball, it attracted cheers from all the fans. Especially when it was successful in defense, stealing the ball or goalkeeper Liu Yunfei's successful save made the Gongti turn into a sea of ​​cheers.

The game lasted about 10 minutes, and the fans on the scene could no longer hold back and played the "Mexican Wave". Since there was no time for a stand, the continuous waves pushed the atmosphere of the whole audience to a climax.

On the court, half of the Chinese team played on the bench did not give Qatar much opportunity to attack due to the cheering of fans, and the score on the court has been maintained at 0:0.

After the second half of the game began, Qatar, who was eager to score a goal, launched a desperate attack. The Chinese team played a little passively on the court, which made the fans on the scene a little anxious, so they kept cheering the Chinese team and shouted "Come on."

Finally, the Chinese team broke the deadlock on the court in the 32nd minute by Xu Yunlong, and the atmosphere at the scene reached its peak. The "Mexican Wave" circled around for several weeks and lasted for a long time.

When the final whistle was blowing, all the fans stood up and refused to leave the field for a long time.

……………………

With three consecutive victories, the Chinese team advanced with 9 points, making it one of the only two teams in the entire group stage to win, and another team that won three consecutive victories. The Central Asian team defeated three opponents 1-0 in Group C, which owns Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Turkmenistan.

According to the rules of the game, the Chinese team's opponent in the quarterfinals is Iraq, the second in Group C, and the game will continue to be held in the Workers' Stadium in Beijing.

The international players who were still "calculating" about the next opponent a few days ago seemed to have found enough confidence because of the three consecutive wins in the group stage. Each of them had a unified attitude and threatened to "not be afraid of anyone touching."

Shao Jiayi said in an interview: "Iraq? They are not Brazilian team, what's there to be afraid of? So we are not afraid of anyone."

"The best result for us is to stay in Beijing. Now we have done it, so it doesn't matter which opponent in Group C next time. We have also watched games with possible opponents such as Iraq and Saudi Arabia, and we feel that our strength is not particularly strong, so no matter who it is, we only have one idea: to win." Zhao Junzhe even said that his opponent's strength is average.
