The home stadium of the Lingnan South China Tigers is the Lotus Stadium, which can accommodate 80,000 people.
This golf course is named after it looks like a blooming lotus when viewed from the air.
The stadium was packed today, and the enthusiastic fans packed the 80,000-seat stand.
There were not only Chinese fans in this game, but also fans from many neighboring countries, and even... there were Madrid Pirates fans who flew from far away Spain.
"This is the charm of the Club World Cup!"
Wang Shanshan stood on the sidelines, looking at the crowded stands, and expressed such emotion.
"This is also the reason why we must apply to host the Club World Cup! It will not only allow our fans to enjoy the performances of the world's top teams up close, but also allow the whole world to see Chinese football more clearly!"
She had just finished her interview and reporting at the scene, and there was nothing else to do with her next.
She can watch the game well from this position.
When the two teams came out to warm up just now, the host South China Tigers certainly won a lot of cheers.
But the popularity of the Madrid Pirates is not far behind, and the cheers they receive are almost the same as those of the South China Tigers.
There were even many fans wearing South China Tigers jerseys cheering and applauding the Pirates players.
Of course, they didn't really "rebel".
Most of them were cheering for Hu Lai.
Although these people are fans of the South China Tigers, they are also fans of China.
As a hero of Chinese football, Hu Lai has unimaginable popularity and influence in China.
At that time, Wang Shanshan looked at the movement in front of her and couldn't help but remember that five years ago, the Lingnan South China Tigers lost the Chinese Super League championship to Hu Lai.
These fans seemed to have forgotten the incident and applauded and cheered Hu Lai without hesitation.
The goal that helped Anton Flash defeat the South China Tigers came from Qin Lin's assist and Hu Lai's shot.
Now one person comes to the Lotus Stadium again as the opponent of the South China Tigers, and the other has become the current head coach of the South China Tigers.
Both of them have such a deep bond with the South China tiger, which is really touching.
Moreover, the Lotus Stadium is also the place where the Chinese men's football team reached the World Cup finals for the first time - everyone who comes to the stadium to watch the game today will pass by the sculpture commemorating the National Football Team's qualifying for the World Cup - everything is really like
It seems to have been arranged.
Thinking of this, Wang Shanshan laughed.
She thinks this is very good and has a wonderful sense of destiny.

Qin Lin stood in the home team's locker room at Lotus Stadium.
He and his players are very familiar with this locker room because this is their home court.
A month ago, they celebrated wildly here to win the league championship.
Now all the players have returned to the locker room, and those who are going to start have changed their clothes. They are sitting in their seats and looking at the coach.
Under their gaze, Qin Lin said:
"This may be our last game in this Club World Cup. I hope everyone can play their best in the game. At the same time, I feel that if each of us can play 100%
With our own strength, then...maybe we can really eliminate the Champions League champions in the semi-finals?"
These words shocked everyone in the locker room. They looked at each other in confusion. They didn't expect that the head coach would still have such ambitions...
Seeing everyone's reaction, Qin Lin laughed:
"Why are you looking like this? Isn't this normal? Who doesn't want to win when they play in a game? What's the surprise if they want to eliminate Pirates and reach the Club World Cup final? Of course, I know that Pirates are very strong, very strong.
.And they still have Hu Lai. But because this thing is difficult, it will be more fulfilling if you do it. Just like this season's league, how bad did we play at the beginning? Everyone still remembers it, right? What happened in the end?
we are the champion!"
Having said this, Qin Lin spread his hands, his tone full of pride and confidence.
"Nothing is impossible. This is the greatest charm of football. There is always a miracle that will happen, so why can't it be us? Remember the 'Legendary Six Minutes'? What did I say before? I said Hu Lai focused on
Football will never give up, so he can achieve miracles repeatedly. I also said that whenever we encounter difficulties, we should think about those six minutes of Hu Lai. Focus on football itself and just run with your head down. Am I wrong?
Did we end up in first place?”
Some people in the locker room began to nod along with Qin Lin's words, expressing their agreement.
"So we did create a miracle. Because in this season, we were not the favorites to win the championship. But in the end we were the champions! What does this mean? It means that we can definitely create miracles. We have the characteristics to create miracles - focus and hard work!
Why do I say that the playing list is determined based on training status? Because I want to make sure that every person who steps on the court really wants to give his best in this game and is not a fool!"
Qin Lin waved his arms vigorously and his voice gradually became louder.
"I believe you must also think so - you finally have a chance to play against the European champions. Will playing on the field be worth the effort you have put in to get here?"
Hearing Qin Lin's deafening voice, Yao Huasheng remembered the World Cup three and a half years ago.
They went home after playing three group matches.
At that time, I thought this performance was very satisfying. I had three draws and remained undefeated. I’m really excited just thinking about it!
Especially in the last game, they tied with Brazil at the last moment. What an amazing achievement!
On the flight back to China, Yao Huasheng felt as if he was dreaming and had an unreal sense of happiness.
But now, he has realized what a pity this is.
My original joy was so...ridiculous.
When they celebrated the draw with Brazil, they did not realize that they missed the opportunity to defeat Brazil and advance to the knockout rounds of the World Cup for the first time in history.
I didn't think it at the time, but now that I think about it, I feel so regretful and regretful.
And this feeling will be particularly profound for Yao Huasheng.
Because Hu Lai and Zhang Qinghuan still had a chance to make up for this regret, but he never had this chance again.
So I feel very sorry and regretful.
Thinking of this, Yao Huasheng stood up as the captain:
"Brother Lin is right, brothers. We finally participated in the Club World Cup and worked so hard to reach the semi-finals and stand in front of the Champions League champions. We must not do it because we did not try our best in this game.
And I have regrets! Don’t be like me. I still regret that I didn’t fight against Brazil in the last few minutes of the World Cup!”
Qin Lin didn't expect Yao Huasheng to say this suddenly.
But it is obvious that Yao Huasheng exposed his shortcomings, which is equivalent to endorsing what he just said, making everyone present realize that if you don't try your best, you will indeed regret it.
And not only will you regret it, but the whole team will be affected by it.
"So, in the next game, everyone will work hard for me! Let's see how well we can play against the Champions League champions if we try our best! No matter whether we win or lose, at least we must have a clear conscience! It won't happen in the future.
I regret when I think of this game! Don’t leave any regrets to yourself, go all out, maybe we can create a miracle? After all, in the World Cup three years ago, we might be able to create a miracle..."
Listening to the head coach and captain asking everyone to try their best, Peng Weijun sat in his seat with his legs shaking slightly.
He clenched his fists tightly, trying to suppress the involuntary trembling.
He was afraid of being misunderstood as fear.
But he is not, he is actually excited and impatient.
He just wanted the game to start right away!
"Okay. I've said everything I need to say, and you all must know what you need to do. There's nothing left to say. Just go on the field and do it!"
Qin Lin said loudly.
"Just do it!"
"Dry!"
A group of people screamed in the locker room.

When Hu Lai saw his big brother Qin Lin in the passage, he immediately went up to say hello enthusiastically: "Brother Lin!"
Qin Lin also hugged Hu Lai with a smile on his face: "You kid! You are so awesome now!"
"Hey, it's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning..."
"Stop being humble in front of me, modesty is hypocrisy!" Qin Lin patted Hu Lai on the shoulder.
Hu Lai could only giggle.
He was also very happy to meet Lin Ge in the Club World Cup.
This Club World Cup also has extraordinary commemorative significance.
"Good kick."
"Hey, I can do it, Brother Lin!"
The scene of the two people chatting and laughing appeared in the TV broadcast. In this scene, the commentator He Feng said with emotion:
"This is a dream-like scene! After the former teammates changed their identities, they met again in the Club World Cup. Two people chasing their own dreams met in this way. They arrived at the same destination through different paths!"
