As soon as the score of 3-3 was reported back to China, it immediately caused an uproar.
"You played so well in the first half, but why did you pull your hips and not be able to play in the second half?"
"What does Zhu Guanghu do for food? Why did Wang Xiaodong be replaced at midfield?"
"He's trying to pull something out of his butthole, looking for shit!"
"Isn't he just kidding? Just let him destroy a great situation like this? Does he still want to complete the military order?"
Before the game, Zhu Guanghu issued a military order to the semi-finals in front of football fans and fans.
Judging from the strength and appearance of this national football team, the top four are simply a small case.
But the game played today really made the fans angry.
The first half indeed went smoothly, but Zhu Guanghu obviously ignored one question, that is, why did the team play so smoothly, and why could they suppress their opponents so miserably when facing the team that had suffered for ten years?
He couldn't wait to replace Wang Xiaodong during the halftime break. Isn't it a sign of a pig's tail sticking up?
Yes, you can say that you learned from Ma Mo's mistakes and were afraid that Wang Xiaodong would be injured, so you protected him in advance.
But then why did you replace both strikers?
What kind of honey operation is this?
Is a team without a forward still called a team?
And I give you a good reminder before the game, telling you to be careful of free kicks and the opponent's free kicks, even if you are not careful!
In the end, they scored two free kicks, one corner kick, and two frontcourt set kicks. Doesn't that still explain the problem?
From Wang Xiaodong's first goal to Kesmian's last goal, Milu's expression in the stands was fully visible to the camera.
From the initial surprise to the final naturalness, the changing expressions on the face of this difficult old man can write a history of blood and tears in Chinese football.
Especially when the Iranian team "finally" scored the equalizing goal after unremitting efforts, the fans could see the disappointment and loneliness on the face of the former national football coach.
Some fans even shouted online: "Zhu Guanghu, you can't even afford retired Milu!"
For a time, both in newspapers and on the Internet, there was overwhelming criticism of Zhu Guanghu.
A blogger named Fireworks wrote an article and put forward some very pertinent suggestions for Zhu Guanghu.
"When General Fan sat in the stands as a football commentator and witnessed Li Datou's foul at the beginning of the second half, would he think of himself 10 years ago? The best central defender of two generations in China, using almost the same untimely redundant movements A historical connection has been achieved. Even when Zandi scored Iran's first goal, many people thought of Golden State 10 years ago."
"Fortunately the game is 90 minutes instead of 135 minutes; fortunately Kazemian has not grown into the motor of the past; fortunately the motor of the past is already old; fortunately, the good situation left by Wang Xiaodong can barely be squandered..."
"Old pig, you must not think that this is the blessing brought by your black suit. The night gave you a black suit, but you cannot use it to find light."
"God only bless warriors with courage. The boys of the Chinese team are such warriors today. As a Chinese fan, my requirements are actually quite low. I don't dare to expect the championship. I don't even necessarily require the semi-finals. I just need you to play. Self and courage. What is certain is that if today’s battle between China and Iran is presented in this way, we will not blame you even if we lose.”
"The precious point brings a good situation. A draw against Uzbekistan in the last round of the group stage will qualify. Don't talk to me about the curse, our football is too easy to bear the weight of history."
"Please don't think that I hope that Zhu Jiajun will do his best to keep the tie in the last round. Today's battle between China and Iran is the best proof. If the Chinese team's purpose from the beginning is to keep the tie, the result will definitely be defeat. We need such a draw: the game The process makes the draw look very regrettable, but the actual result is very rewarding. And such a draw must be achieved through attack!"
"In the sweltering rainy season in Southeast Asia, we need to travel lightly. To this end, I would like to make the following suggestions for you."
"One: Take off your black suit. Don't forget that the players will always look at you twice on the court. It will be boring to see such an outfit on a hot day. This black suit may have brought you good luck, but Li Iron and Dewey's persistence has proved that what once worked may not always work. Destiny is a flowing river, and God will not stop waiting for you somewhere."
"Two: Forget your ridiculous military order for the time being. Playing well in every next game is the most important thing. Qi Yousheng's team qualified for the Asian Cup group stage that year, but in the end they didn't do anything. The results are coming.”
"Three: Don't always give history lessons to the team members. When it comes to curses, there are too many such curses. The most powerful people these days are those who are in debt. The more debts, the better!"
"Four: Believe in the returnees, believe in Wang Xiaodong! It has been proven in the past two games that the Chinese team cannot do without Wang Xiaodong! He will be the core of the Chinese team for the next ten or even twenty years. With him on the court, the team It’s not just offensive methods and opportunities, but also confidence!”
"The last thing I want to say is, if the team can continue to play like the first half of the China-Iran war, no matter whether we win or lose, I will praise you one day at a time!"
The blog posted by such an elegant young female artist on the website immediately received clicks and reposts from a large number of netizens. Although some of the suggestions and wording were too literary, they well expressed the urgent desires of the current fans.
Think about it, even a girl is so obsessed with the Asian Cup, what else is there to say?
In any case, the Chinese team now has 4 points like Iran with one win and one draw, and it is also ranked first with a goal difference advantage.
Looking at it this way, we once again came to the conclusion that "a tie will qualify".
Ever since, after the fans scolded Zhu Guanghu for his stupidity, they began to vote one after another and participated in the discussion of "Does being able to qualify with a draw mean that they will definitely not be able to qualify?"
Looking at the surge in turnout on both sides, it's not hard to see the sadness left behind by the fans over the team's poor past record.
Fortunately, due to Wang Xiaodong's return to the team, the click rate of "Definitely Qualified" barely topped the list.
It has to be said that Wang Xiaodong's heroic performance in the first two games has won the support of all fans.
No matter how critical these netizens are of past results, they have only one conclusion when it comes to the topic of Wang Xiaodong: "As long as Zhu Guanghu is not stupid and still wants to win, then he must let Wang Xiaodong start, and he will no longer be easy Replace him."
...
On July 17, the night before the third round of the group stage, Zhu Guanghu and members of the coaching staff held a heated pre-match meeting in his bedroom.
It is nothing more than a discussion on the starting issues and personnel arrangements for the third game. No matter how many returnees are sent to play, Li Datou, who has accumulated two yellow cards, will not be able to play. Zheng Zhi, this guy also accumulated yellow cards. Moreover, goalkeeper Li Leilei also suffered an ankle injury and was unable to play.
As a result, the third game against Uzbekistan seemed to be "a little bit" stressful.
Wang Xiaodong received a phone call in his bedroom.
Usually during Asian Cup games like this, team members are not allowed to make phone calls, and their personal mobile phones will be handed over.
But Wang Xiaodong is an exception after all. He will not disclose the national team's tactics and starting information to the outside world, but he also has some phone calls that he must answer.
So after Wang Xiaodong's cell phone rang, the staff immediately returned the phone to him.
"Hello? Mino?"
"Yes, it's me." Raiola's voice sounded on the other end of the phone.
"Why are you calling me now? I have a competition tomorrow." Wang Xiaodong asked casually.
"DONG, I looked at the Chinese team's schedule. You still have a high chance of qualifying." Raiola said on the other end of the phone.
"Oh? Haven't you always opposed my coming back to play in the Asian Cup? Why have you changed your gender now?" Wang Xiaodong joked.
"The situation has changed." Raiola said in a serious voice, "The guys in France are trying to trick you behind your back."
"What's going on?" Monk Wang Xiaodong was confused, "I don't go to Ligue 1 to play football, why are they trying to trick me?"
"It's not your age that's causing trouble!" Raiola sighed and explained word for word, "DONG, do you know about the Golden Boy Award?"
"I know." Wang Xiaodong nodded.
Looking at the honors received by other opponents he competed with in the past season, it can be said that Wang Xiaodong won the Golden Boy Award.
"That's the problem." Raiola said angrily. "The French Ballon d'Or thinks that since you selected the Golden Boy Award, they plan to exclude you from the list of the Ballon d'Or. They are discussing this matter internally. Woolen cloth!"
"Ah? Why?" Wang Xiaodong was also surprised after hearing the news, "Is there such a rule?"
"No!" Raiola replied decisively, "The Golden Boy Award is selected by Italy's "Torino Sports News", and the Golden Globe Award is selected by "French Football". But you also know that the Golden Globe Award is There have always been tricks. After all, they involve too much capital and are too complicated. If you rush in and get a piece of the pie, many people will object."
"What's the meaning?"
"What do you mean?" Raiola hummed, "It's just that they have already achieved results! Do you know that Kaka from AC Milan? The one who just won the Champions League!"
Wang Xiaodong nodded. After the FA Cup, Milan completed its revenge against Liverpool with a score of 2-1 at the Athens Olympic Stadium. Kaká, the biggest star in the Milan team, also ranked among the top scorers in this competition with 10 goals. Top of the list.
Kaka is young and handsome, and is also known as the Son of God. If Liverpool hadn't had a miracle in Istanbul in 2005, he might have been crowned in the Ballon d'Or.
But the problem is that, in addition to their dazzling performance in the Champions League, AC Milan only achieved fourth place in its domestic league and barely entered the Champions League next season. Not only that, Milan was also eliminated early in the Italian Cup.
In addition to being the top scorer in the Champions League, Kaka only has a few accumulated honors such as the best team in Serie A.
Wang Xiaodong not only led his team to win the Europa League, but also won the League Cup and FA Cup in England. In terms of the number of club and personal honors, he was ahead of Kaka.
Because of this, if Wang Xiaodong participates in the selection of the Golden Globe Award, he will undoubtedly become the biggest threat to Kaka.
Therefore, Raiola's suggestion is that Wang Xiaodong should seize the opportunity of this Asian Cup, set an example at the national team and international competition level, and achieve some results.
As a result, Golden Globe Awards officials have to take these factors into consideration.
Even if they want to forcibly exclude Wang Xiaodong from the list, they will still face greater pressure.
"So, if you have the opportunity, you can help the Chinese team go as far as possible while ensuring your health." Raiola concluded.
"Understood!" Wang Xiaodong snapped his fingers and hung up the phone.
Looking at the title "If you win, you will qualify" under his butt, Wang Xiaodong snorted: "A tie? What does this count?"
