"Damn, there are so many people, all of them are ours." Zhang Shunfa's son was walking on the way to the Caliph Stadium. He was wearing red clothes like him, in front, back, and left and right. "Hmph, this time, we must let the Japanese know how powerful we are."

He waved his fist.

Zhang Shunfa didn't say anything beside him. He walked silently with a five-star red flag on his shoulder. Because he was not walking fast, the national flag hung down.

At this time, he spoke to his son who was still looking around and said, "Help me pull up the flag."

The son obediently held the hem of the national flag, and the five-star red flag that had been hanging from each other flew again.

In Doha, Qatar, outside the Caliph Stadium, the five-star red flag is not just this side on Zhang Shunfa’s shoulder.

Many Chinese fans came outside the stadium with national flags, and they wanted to make the Chinese flag float in the stands of the stadium.

However, these people, including Zhang Shunfa, encountered some trouble when entering the venue.

Stadium security does not allow them to bring flagpoles into the stadium.

In fact, I usually give in, but this game is different.

Because both sides of this game are the Chinese and Japanese teams.

The Qatar police have specially made up for various grievances between China and Japan, including football and history.

Someone specifically reminded them that the football matches between China and Japan will be very popular, and the fans' reactions need to be monitored. They also went to watch some news reports on the Asian Cup held in China in 204. Whenever there is a Japanese team game, there will be constant booing and scolding over the court.

In the final, because the Chinese team lost to the Japanese team, the angry Chinese fans burned the Japanese flag after the game, and several riots occurred, causing some injuries and damage to vehicles.

Therefore, this final will be a severe test for the Qatar police. We must strictly guard against each other and not allow the fans of the two teams to make trouble before and after the game. We must also isolate them in the stands to avoid large-scale conflicts.

For this reason, many things that were allowed to be brought into the stadium are now not allowed to be brought into it.

Flag poles are one of them.

No matter whether it is soft or hard, metal, plastic, wood, or foam... it is not allowed to be brought in.

The flagpole is not allowed to be scored, which makes it difficult for Chinese fans.

Without a flagpole, how can the national flag be waved?

Is the national flag brought from the country so useless?

Chinese fans are very depressed, but the stadium security requirements must be followed, otherwise they will not even be able to enter the stadium and will not be able to watch the game on the spot.

Unfortunately, everyone pulled out the national flags on the flagpole, left the flagpole outside the ticket gate, and went in with the national flag.

Zhang Shunfa and his son did the same.

After all, watching the football in the stadium is the most important thing.

※※※

When the Chinese team boarded the bus in the hotel, many Chinese fans and reporters gathered outside the hotel.

Many of these Chinese fans did not buy tickets until the end. They had given up their intention to enter the live to watch the game, so they came outside the hotel to see the team. Since they could not cheer for the team on the spot, then do it here.

They waved the five-star red flag and shouted: "Come on, China Team"

After seeing this scene, a reporter sighed: "That's just that when the team went to fight against Japan..."

After getting on the car, the players waved to the fans through the window and gave thumbs up.

Some players were infected by the emotions on the spot and patted the five-star red flag on their sportswear chest with their hands.

This of course attracted warm cheers from the fans on the scene.

In addition to the enthusiasm of Chinese fans, the hotel where the Chinese team is staying also specially prepared a banner for the Chinese team to compete in the finals. It was hung outside the hotel lobby, which read in Chinese and Arabic: "Wish the Chinese team a triumphant victory"

The Chinese team has lived here since they came to Doha. During this period, three teams lived with them, but they were all eliminated.

In the end, only the Chinese team was left.

The hotel has provided them with more than half a month of service, and it is somewhat emotional. They naturally hope that the Chinese team can win, so that they will be the hotel where the Asian champion stays.

Amid the huge cheers and the camera shutter, the red bus on the Chinese team closed the door and slowly started.

On both sides of the car body are printed with the cheering slogans prepared by the AFC for each participating team. The Chinese team's slogan is: "Eternal Oriental Dragon", which is "TePtuDrac", but the English slogan is probably more appropriate to translate it into "Swinging Dragon"...

When the reporters saw the bus walking away, someone sighed: "For the first time, the slogan on this car is really in line with the current situation of the Chinese team..."

When this slogan was just released, some domestic fans and media joked that the Chinese team might not be worthy of such domineering slogans, because Chinese football has never been a dragon, but a worm.

However, in this Asian Cup, the performance of the Chinese team proved that they are really a dragon, a giant dragon that soared into the sky, stirred up thunder and changed the color of the wind and clouds.

※※※

The Chinese team players were still discussing enthusiastic fans when they drove away from the hotel.

They didn't hear much of such enthusiastic cheers before this Asian Cup. Although they have also had a record of winning, compared with today's scenes, it's all a pediatrician.

They can see the fanatical light from the face of every fan.

This light makes them feel warm as if they are bathed in light.

This is their fans, their supporters, and they fight for it.

This is the meaning of the existence of the Chinese national football team.

※※※

When the Chinese team arrived at the stadium, the scene was almost full. When they went out to warm up, they were warmly welcomed by Chinese fans. There were cheers in their ears, but they never stopped. It really makes people worry that Chinese fans are shouting like this now, and when it comes to the game, will they still have the energy?

Japanese fans also cheered for their own teams, but I don’t know if it was an illusion, but I always feel that in terms of momentum, Chinese fans are more prosperous...

The Chinese team ended their warm-up. When they returned to the locker room, Gao Hongbo, as the team's head coach, was already waiting for them in the locker room.

On the white writing board beside him, Gao Hongbo wrote a sentence in a mark.

"Bring glory to the country."

When the players entered the locker room, he pointed to the four words he wrote and said to them: "This is an Asian Cup final. I don't ask for the process of this game, I just want the result. Because everyone knows that Chinese football has never won the Asian championship. Since we can enter the final, we are definitely not going back to win the runner-up. So we must win and win the championship."

Gao Hongbo has been decompressing the team before, including when he talked about the Asian Cup in an interview with reporters. Rongguang had not yet joined the national team, so Gao Hongbo's expectations for the Asian Cup are also different from now. At that time, he said that the Chinese team will definitely use young people as the main focus, because the main focus is in the 2ll World Cup qualifiers.

He said at the time that the Asian Cup results were not important.

But now, at this moment, standing in the visiting team locker room at the Caliph Stadium, Gao Hongbo's statement and attitude are different.

He did not tell everyone that the result of the game was not important, what was important was the process, enjoying the game, enjoying football, etc. He did not relieve the pressure on the team, but instead put the pressure out directly and placed it on the shoulders of Chinese players.

Why don’t you relieve stress at this time?

Because Gao Hongbo is very clear that pressure is something that professional players must face, especially Chinese players. For a long time, people have believed that the reason why the Chinese team does not perform well is because of the poor psychological quality of the players and poor pressure tolerance.

So since the Asian Cup is regarded as a training ground, then learning and enduring pressure must be part of their practice.

If you can't even bear such obvious pressure, how can the Chinese team compete for the World Cup?

Besides, everyone has seen what happened when we were warming up outside the hotel and in the stadium. If you open your eyes and tell the players lies, the result is not important, and even if we lose the game, it doesn't matter. You have already exceeded your mission to reach the finals... Then Gao Hongbo feels that such lies that he can't convince himself will not really relieve the pressure on the players.

Therefore, it is better to tell them directly how much pressure is.

Facing pressure correctly and challenging pressure bravely instead of escaping is a necessary quality for a mature professional player.

After Gao Hongbo finished speaking what he wanted to say, he left a few minutes for the players, and he and the coaching staff all left the locker room.

As soon as he left, Rongguang stood up from his seat and he wanted to say something.

Everyone also turned their attention to him.

Although Rongguang is not the captain of the team, everyone is willing to listen to whatever he says. This is not because he is the most famous and earns the most. It is because Rongguang used his strength and personal charm to conquer these teammates step by step in training and competitions with everyone.
