Chapter 735 The confidence of the Chinese team
"There are still three hours before the start of the game, but there are already huge crowds of people outside the Andong Provincial Sports Center. This stadium has had many grand scenes like this, but today's one must be the most special!"
Wang Shanshan stood in front of the camera, with the outer wall of the Provincial Sports Center and the surging red crowd behind her. She held a microphone with an excited smile on her face and was broadcasting the situation at the scene.
"For Jincheng fans, today is the day that they can watch Hu Lai play at this stadium again after nearly a year. Hu Lai, once the top scorer of the Flash Stars, left today as a Chinese national He returned to the Andong Provincial Sports Center as a team player...and these fans are here to welcome their heroes! ”
Many fans in the footage are wearing the red jerseys of the Chinese team and Flash Stars, and the numbers on their backs are all No. 14.
This number was once cursed in Chinese football, but now no one has mentioned it.
What cursed number?
The strongest forward in the history of Chinese football wears this number!
When some fans saw the camera footage, they raised their arms behind Wang Shanshan and shouted: "Hu Lai! Hu Lai!!"
“Come on Team China!”
"Rise up!"
Full of languages from all over the world - this game is not just Jincheng fans who come to the scene, they are just close to the water.
There are also many fans coming from all over the country.
They not only came to see Hu Lai, but also came to cheer for the Chinese team, hoping to help the Chinese team defeat the South Korean team at home.
Not only to preserve the hope of reaching the World Cup finals, but also to prevent the annoying Koreans from celebrating in their home stadium.
The grievances between China, Japan and South Korea extend from other fields to football, and each has its own reasons why it cannot lose to its opponent.
China and Japan are enemies of each other.
The relationship between China and South Korea is simply that the "father" in the past did not want to see the "son" arrogant in front of him now.
Occasionally, there were a few Korean fans in the crowd, and they walked forward in a low-key manner, not daring to stay in the crowd for a while, as if they were afraid that they would be caught and asked "What are you looking at" just by taking a glance.
Although they may all be able to hit hard on the Internet, in real life, on the Chinese team's territory, they all still know how to behave with their tail between their legs.

Zhao Kangming and Dong Wen appeared on the rostrum together and shook hands with the general managers of other clubs one by one.
Not only fans from all over the country, but also the general managers of all Chinese Super League clubs across the country came from all over to watch the game live. In a sense, it can be regarded as an "on-site supervision team"...
These general managers, who were fighting for each other in the Chinese Super League and were defeated and disgraced, seemed like a family at this time, greeting each other with smiles, shaking hands and patting shoulders.
"Oh Mr. Wang, your Luo Kai is doing really well this season..."
"What the hell, that's too much! Isn't your Xia Xiaoyu from Flashing Star making rapid progress?"
"Hahaha!" Dong Wen and Wang Shoude looked at each other, and then laughed at the same time.
Xue Chaoyu, the general manager of Dashun Golden Arrow, took Zhao Kangming's hand and shook it gently: "Director Zhao, I really want to thank you... Chen Xingyi has made great progress in the two seasons of Flash Star, and Coach Dillon praised it. Got him. Your skills in training young players are truly well-deserved!”
Zhao Kangming shook his head and said modestly: "Mr. With his performance in Golden Arrow, I have nothing to worry about..."
In addition to them, the general managers of other clubs also gathered to chat with each other.
This may be one of the rare times when they can put aside their usual intrigues and be so united...
"Mr. Lu heard that your South China Tigers have prepared a generous winning prize for the national football team this time?"
"To win glory for the country, the players are glorious, and our club is also glorious. In fact, it's not much. I just want to express the attitude of our South China Tigers Club..."
"Mr. Lu is right, it doesn't matter how much money you have. What's important is to have this attitude. Our club has also prepared winning prizes. As long as the national team can defeat South Korea, our Tamron national players will all get bonuses, no matter what It doesn’t matter whether you’re on the court or not!”
"Mr. Lin is very particular!" Someone gave a thumbs up.

When the players from both sides came out of the locker room to warm up, the entire stadium was almost full.
Except for some bleacher areas that must be set aside as safe space, the stadium is completely covered in red.
The competition management of the national team is stricter than that of the Chinese Super League, so it is destined to be impossible to reproduce the grand occasion of the last round of the Chinese Super League last year.
But even so, the scene in front of me is amazing enough.
A huge five-star red flag spread downwards from the top of the stadium stands, occupying the entire south stand.
It happened to be facing the goal where the Korean team players were warming up.
They warmed up under this huge Chinese flag. They didn't even need to raise their heads to look, they could feel the presence of this flag in all directions without blind spots.
The flag was passed along by all the fans in the stands and began to "flow" along the stands.
In the process, the song was played on the live radio.
Before every game, whether it is a national team game or a club game, there will be a song played to warm up the atmosphere and warm up the fans.
Most of the time, the songs played on the field are popular songs, because these songs are highly popular and everyone can hum along with them, which makes it easy to create a chorus effect.
Since you want to warm up the atmosphere, of course you cannot play songs that are not popular among the minority, no matter how high your artistic achievements are, it will be useless. After all, we are not here to enjoy the concert.
But what was played on the radio at the Andong Provincial Sports Center today was not a pop song, but it was better than a pop song.
Because this song is probably more popular than any current popular song.
Amidst the sound of music, all the fans sang loudly: "My motherland and I! We cannot be separated for a moment——!!"
"Wherever I go, a hymn flows out!!"
As all the fans sang in unison, the huge five-star red flag slowly floated across the stands and circled the field, looking like it was really flying in the air.
The distinguished guests on the rostrum took out their mobile phones, took photos or videos, and recorded this shocking scene.
During the singing, the players from both sides who were warming up couldn't help but be attracted to the scene.
Assistant coach Li Zhifei shouted: "Don't be distracted! Warm up seriously!"
The players of the Chinese team lowered their heads and continued to warm up. But there was already an emotion growing and spreading deep in their hearts, impacting their hearts, as if a seed was sprouting.
As for the Korean team players, their coaching staff also loudly reminded the players not to be disturbed and to focus on warming up.
But with such a loud singing voice and such a big red flag surrounding them, can they not hear it if they don’t listen, and can’t see it if they don’t see it?
They warmed up to the thunderous singing, but they felt as if they were training in the pouring rain. After practicing for a long time, their bodies did not warm up at all, but became colder and colder as they practiced...
Park Guixian cursed in his heart.
This feeling reminded him of the AFC Champions League group match last March.
※※※
The stand where Xie Lan and Hu Lixin were sitting was just above the Korean team's warm-up goal, which was a very good location.
She sang loudly to the crowd.
I hope that the singing can reach the ears of the Korean team players as much as possible.
Give them a kick in the ass.
Before the game, the official social network account of the Korean media posted a cartoon. In the cartoon, the players of the Chinese team were standing on both sides of the midline, applauding and welcoming the South Korean team.
The accompanying text said: "It is recommended that the AFC promote this ceremony. After all, the qualifying teams in the World Cup are going to win glory for Asia and fight for their rights and interests. It is natural to show respect to the qualifying teams in this way!"
This comic attracted a lot of attention and reposting on Korean social media. Many fans retweeted it and used @亚FC to express their suggestions to them. This matter was also spread to the Internet in China.
Of course, the AFC will not pay attention to such boring suggestions. The Korean media and fans are actually just trying to disgust the Chinese fans.
Xie Lan is one of those people who is disgusted.
Because her son stood first in the queue of Chinese players who lined up to welcome him, and he was also the most serious, realistic and lifelike one portrayed by the cartoonist. People knew it was Hu Lai at a glance.
Moreover, Hu Lai in the cartoon smiled particularly flatteringly when facing the Korean team players who entered the stadium with their heads held high, like a complete clown.
This made Xie Lan particularly unhappy.
She came to watch the game today, firstly to visit her son, and secondly to personally greet the eighteenth generation of Korean ancestors.
After singing "My Motherland and Me", the next song "Flowing Red Flag" was played on the stadium radio.
Xie Lan took advantage of the gap between the two songs to stuff a throat lozenge into his mouth and continued singing along:
"That's a rainbow picked from the rising sun. No one doesn't love your colors——"

After the warm-up, the players from both sides left the court and returned to the locker room.
Many Korean players felt relieved - throughout their warm-up process, the Chinese fans never stopped singing, one after another, like a large-scale singing competition.
Park Guixian indeed replaced Park Suntae in this game and became the starter. But during the entire warm-up, he didn't care about being happy about his starting appearance. On the contrary, the atmosphere at the scene brought him many bad memories.
Now that he closed the door and couldn't hear the noise outside, he felt calm again.
At the same time, I kept hinting to myself in my heart:
This is not that game anymore, and I am not the same person I was before!
I must seize this opportunity...Park Guixian, you can do it!
Next year's World Cup, you will surprise the whole world!
※※※
Shi Wuyin said to his players in the home team's locker room: "You don't need me to reiterate to you how important this game is, right? You don't need me to mobilize you before the game, right? You believed it during the warm-up. You should have seen that flag and know what it means. Just think about how you felt when you saw this scene, and then take this feeling to the court and fight against the Korean team! "< br>
Many people followed Shi Wuyin's words and recalled the scene in the warm-up just now.
When the national flag floated slowly in front of their eyes, many people were so shocked that they almost forgot to warm up.
How does it feel?
I just want to go up and fuck him to death right now!
"Remember this is our home court, so we have to show our momentum from the beginning of the game! Press forward proactively and don't be afraid of conceding the ball. It's them who should be afraid of conceding the ball! As long as we can score first, we can Completely disrupting their pre-match arrangements and plans. Then... they will get into chaos amidst the singing of our fans! You must believe the fans here."
Everyone nodded in unison. During the warm-up, they felt like they had listened to a red song concert.
To say that the fans in this game are their biggest backers and the real twelfth man on the field, no one from the Chinese team's international players doubts.
In fact, there are many football stadiums in domestic cities that can accommodate 60,000 people, but there are not many games that can fully seat 60,000 people.
Today, the stands of the Andong Provincial Sports Center were filled with red.
This is what gave them the confidence to compete with the South Korean team today!
