Chapter 106 The Image of Chinese Football

After the Chinese team participated in the departure ceremony, they took a direct flight from Guangzhou to Sydney, Australia.

When they arrived at Kingsford Smith International Airport in Sydney, they were also greeted by a fan group composed of local Chinese and overseas Chinese, overseas students and representatives of employees of Chinese-funded companies.

They gathered together, waved the five-star red flag, and sang songs about the motherland. This scene attracted foreign media to focus their cameras on them.

This scene is even more difficult for the Chinese team players.

From walking the red carpet in China to welcoming the phalanx at Sydney International Airport, every scene is impacting the hearts of the players of the Chinese team.

On the one hand, let them realize that the image of Chinese football is being improved, and on the other hand, they also feel that the weight on their shoulders is getting heavier.

The image of Chinese football is indeed gradually improving, which started after Gao Zheng joined the national team.

The previous Chinese football was basically on the same level as the "rats crossing the street", which belonged to the type of everyone shouting and beating.

The Internet is also full of jokes that ridicule and attack Chinese football.

For example, a certain man secretly watched a Chinese team game at home, but because he was afraid of being discovered by his family who broke into the house, he lied that he was watching Japan.

Another example is that Messi came to China to participate in the Olympic football match. After returning home, he learned a very Chinese cheering slogan and taught it to his teammates in Barcelona. The cheering slogan was: "Xie Yalu class!"

For example, jokes such as "Tan Wangsong, the successor of Tan Legs" and "Zheng Zhihua" emerge in endlessly.

Chinese football seems to have become a toilet where everyone can swear a few words, vent their emotions, then lift their belts and turn away. No one cares whether Chinese football is good or bad, and they don’t care about the root cause behind the reason. People care about how Chinese football develops☆ Chinese football seems to have become a very "politically correct" thing in China.

Some people joked that the "Chinese Football Association" is the only organization that you don't have to bear any responsibility and risk after scolding.

Of course, it is not a problem of ordinary people that Chinese football is scolded like this, but that Chinese football really sucks.

In the past, the Chinese team's home games were basically played in second- and third-tier cities. For example, Gao Zheng felt that Ma'anshan would play games after returning to China.

why is that?

It is because the image of Chinese football has collapsed and its reputation has become bad. No one wants to watch the Chinese team's games. If it is still placed in the first-tier big cities before, I am afraid that it will be kicked out of the closet. Who is willing to do such a loss-making business?

Therefore, the leader of the Chinese team can be like a grass-roots troupe in the countryside, changing places with one shot, looking for second- and third-tier cities, and using the freshness of no one there to watch the Chinese team play to attract local cities to host the national team. race.

And you have to leave after a game, and never stay longer. Because after one game, the novelty is gone, even if you want to stay and play another game, the local government may not be willing to stay, thinking that it is a waste of money and energy, and it is thankless.

At the beginning, Hefei hosted the match between the Chinese team and the Thai team. As a result, the Chinese team lost to Thailand 1:5, which also damaged the image of the city of Hefei. At the same time, the anger of the fans after the game also caused Hefei police to suffer. Word.

Therefore, the majestic Chinese national team, which represents the highest level of Chinese football, has no place in China.

Who can blame this?

Of course, they can only blame themselves for their poor grades and poor image.

This situation gradually improved after Gao Zheng joined the national team.

For example, the last warm-up match was originally planned to be held in Chenzhou, a city below Hunan. This is not a shameful warm-up match, because the opponent is too weak.

But because I heard that Gao Zheng was determined to participate in this game, Changsha, Hunan Province snatched the right to host from Chenzhou-how could this happen to the Chinese national team before? The previous national team was the god of plague, and everyone was afraid to avoid it. But today's national team has gradually become a favorite.

It is entirely conceivable that if the Chinese team performs well in the Asian Cup, then the various warm-up matches of the national team and the Asian qualifiers for the 2018 Russia World Cup, the first-tier cities in China may have to fight for the right to host .

At Sydney International Airport, Gao Zheng became the focus of the media. He was overwhelmed by Chinese and foreign journalists and couldn't move an inch. However, when the other teammates of the national team walked past him, they were completely ignored. Only a few Chinese domestic media interviewed Gao Zheng when they could not get close to him.

As the number one star of the Chinese team, and the most famous and most valuable player in this Asian Cup, it is normal for him to enjoy such treatment, and other international players don't think there is anything useless.

And it is entirely predictable that during the entire Asian Cup, as long as the Chinese team remains in the Asian Cup, then Gao Zheng will always enjoy such star-studded treatment.

You must know that in the promotional picture of the Asian Cup posted by the AFC on the official website, Gao Zheng is always standing in the c position, standing alone in the middle and at the front.

In addition, in the Asian Cup promotional video produced by the AFC, Gao Zheng is also the player who has been out of the country for the longest time and has the most shots.

Ranked second is South Korea's head star, currently playing for Bayer Leverkusen's striker Sun Xingmin.

The competition and contest between the two of them is also a highlight of this Asian Cup.

Although there are superstars like Gao Zheng, foreign media are really not very optimistic about the prospects of the Chinese team in the Asian Cup this season. Both have super stars, but the Chinese team and the South Korean team are in completely different situations. Apart from the two leading stars, the Korean team is much stronger than the Chinese team in terms of strength, and this is the decisive factor.

The AFC said that the goal of the Chinese team is to hit the championship, but none of the foreign media took the AFC's words seriously. After all, they even mis-matched the pictures in this article - they said that the Chinese team won the championship, but at the same time they matched a photo of the Chinese team's 1:3 loss to Iraq. There are as many as seven people who were not selected at all. The 23-man roster for the Asian Cup

You can get a little idea from the winning odds given by the bookmaker:

Australia, Japan, South Korea and Iran are the four most favored teams.

The odds of the Chinese team to win only ranked seventh.

The reporters would not ask whether Gao Zheng's Chinese team could win the championship, because this kind of question is too stupid, and they are more concerned about the virtual match stage of the game.

After all, the grouping of the Chinese team can be regarded as a group of death-they are in the same group as Uzbekistan, the fourth in Asia, Saudi Arabia, the traditional strong team, and the tenacious North Korean team. No matter which opponent is easy to chew Bones⊥ is blessed by Gao Zheng, but in terms of the overall strength of the Chinese team, it is always a bit worrying.

After all, the Chinese team has failed to qualify for two consecutive Asian Cups before. The last time they failed to qualify was the Asian Cup held at their doorstep in 2004.

Faced with this question from the reporters, Gao Zheng answered simply: "Our goal is to return to Brisbane."

The first two draws of the Chinese team will be played in Brisbane, and the match against North Korea in the third draw will be moved to Canberra. If the Chinese team can qualify, then they will face the question of where to play in the knockout round.

If they come second, they don't need to change places, and they will play in the quarter-finals directly in Canberra.

Only if you are number one, you need to return to Brisbane.

The Chinese team is going to take the first place in death!
