1154 The Weird Journey to Saudi Arabia

Although Chinese fans simultaneously posted the news on social media that the Chinese team was playing crazy in Sydney, Australia!

But in fact, the game trend is that the Australian team digging their own graves. The performance of the near collapse in the first half made it difficult to turn the situation even if the team regrouped in the second half!

In the end, the Chinese team defeated Australia 4-1 away. After Situ Yunbing took office, he won 2 wins and 1 draw in three away warm-up matches, all against strong teams within the AFC!

When the game ended, Situ Yunbing turned around to the bench first and said to Zhao Fenghua who stood up and applauded: "Go and bring your teammates to thank the fans."

Zhao Fenghua nodded with a smile, and trotted into the court to organize the players to go to the visiting team's fans stands to cheer for the Chinese team, as well as a small number of fans who came to watch the game from home to applaud and thank them.

Situ Yunbing shook hands with Graham Arnold at this time.

Arnold's expression was a little embarrassed. He thought he would take over the Asian boss' national team. Now, he might fall into the trap before he can sit firmly on his throne!

Situ Yunbing did not have much emotion, and he was not arrogant when he won, nor was he discouraged when he defeated, and there was nothing to show off his power.

The passiveness in the scene ultimately makes the Chinese team act according to the opponent's expression.

When he arrived at the post-match press conference, Situ Yunbing clearly noticed that the Australian football media reporters were a little depressed.

When Situ Yunbing summarized the game, he said: "Although the 4:1 score seems to be very easy and convincing to win the Chinese team, in fact, I think the result of this score is not the factor that the Chinese team performed more than we are, but the Australian team gave up the way they played in the past. Although Australia could not be said to be particularly conservative, it was also more conservative on the basis of balance.

But today Australia soon lost patience with the game. They seemed to have to complete the goal in the first half, which led to a lot of gaps and flaws in the defense. The Chinese team's counterattack can be said to have a good room for performance.

I don’t know what the reason for Australia’s impatient mentality is, nor do I want to know, but I hope that the Chinese media and ourselves will face up to this big victory.

If one day we can completely suppress Australia and achieve another three goals, I would be proud and proud to say that the Chinese team is at least much stronger than Australia.

But today's results are not representative.

The players performed very well, and I would like to praise them in the locker room, but we still have to keep a good attitude. This is just a big victory that involves the opponent's mistakes."

Situ Yunbing is still humble and cautious, and his remarks at least make the Australian media feel better.

When the Australian media tried to bring the topic to Graham Arnold, Situ Yunbing decisively chose to avoid talking.

He doesn't want to evaluate the opponent's coach most directly, and he can't make a mistake when he comes to the position of national team coach and then compete with or make enemies.

If you can't make a mistake, it's definitely a way to downgrade yourself.

He said Graham Arnold, which was equivalent to sending an international advertisement to the other party.

Chinese football media reporter asked Situ Yunbing what he said about the team's performance.

Situ Yunbing said seriously: "The performance of the Chinese team is slightly higher than my expectations. Overall, our tacit understanding is improving, and the tactical implementation is becoming more disciplined. Looking at each individual player, I can see that each player has improved compared to last month's performance!

This is the biggest gain of our training camp and warm-up matches. If we can keep it, I believe that the Chinese team will soon make a big leap in strength!”

Situ Yunbing's remarks seem a bit too optimistic, but this is indeed the judgment he made after seeing the team's comprehensive performance today.

The team did not relax in the second half, and the players who came on the bench were also very active.

Overall, the overall situation is indeed positive.

It was sunny on Situ Yunbing's side, but Graham Arnold's post-match press conference was filled with dark clouds and lightning. The Australian media directly placed the responsibility for the home defeat on the opponent's head and began to question.

Graham Arnold was in a very embarrassing situation for a time, and he couldn't find a good reason to explain this crushing defeat!

The report of the Chinese team's 4-1 victory over Australia on the away game has been flooding the screen on Chinese social media!

A new generation of idols in Chinese football has also been born. Zhao Fenghua and Wu Lei are naturally leading figures. The second echelons are Luo Cheng, Luo Xin, Bai Yuanfan, and Chen Jingjie.

Chinese fans were discussing the future prospects of the Chinese team all at once, and all football media were very satisfied with Situ Yunbing’s achievements in coaching the Chinese team in the past few months!

After Situ Yunbing led the team to leave Sydney, he rushed to Saudi Arabia!

It is a long journey from Australia to Saudi Arabia. Now the Chinese team travels in luxury first class, where they can take baths and sleep by themselves have their own small space.

Even the Chinese players themselves told Situ Yunbing that the treatment was too high!

Situ Yunbing treats them very well on weekdays, and will give them the best arrangements if they can think of them.

I just want them to train hard and compete seriously, and there is nothing else to ask for rewards.

After Australia entered the AFC, Saudi Arabia's position in Asian football declined, which of course is also related to the development of South Korea and Japan during the same period.

But Saudi Arabia is definitely close to the top teams in Asia.

Saudi Arabia performed poorly in the past World Cup and was 5 goals by Russia in the opening match, which is directly related to the problems with their overall management and development strategies in the previous year of the World Cup.

Van Marvik was fired by the Saudi Arabian Football Association after leading Saudi Arabia to the World Cup because of a conflict between the two. The successor Bausa was also fired after two months of coaching. In the end, Chilean coach Pi Ji took office and led the team to compete in the World Cup. Saudi Arabia experienced three coaches in 74 days. Such strange stories are signs of chaos.

In the first half of the year of the World Cup, in order to improve the team's record in the World Cup, the Saudi Football Association formulated a group overseas plan, smashing the door to La Liga through oil and gold, and then sending 9 Saudi internationals to La Liga to improve their level.

But the embarrassing thing is that after three months, the Saudi Football Association found that these 9 players had basically not played much in La Liga!

The Saudi Football Association was furious, but there was no choice but to curse La Liga in secret and not doing anything if it was not kind!

In the end, most of the Saudi 23-man rosters in the World Cup came from the local leagues. Only one of the nine players sent to La Liga was selected for the World Cup roster!

From the farce of Van Marvik's dismissal to the output players to the La Liga exercise, the Saudi Football Association's successive measures to dig their own graves have made other Football Associations a warning.

Piji continued to coach Saudi Arabia after the World Cup. The Saudi Football Association doesn't want to mess around anymore. Let it go naturally and see. Anyway, it's still very early to the next World Cup.

Situ Yunbing came to Saudi Arabia this time, and the Saudi Football Association applauded and welcomed it, mainly because Saudi Arabia hoped to increase its influence and popularity through football.

When Situ Yunbing led his team to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, a scene that shocked everyone appeared.

There is a row of luxury cars waiting for them outside the airport.

The Chinese team didn't care at first, but just looked at the luxury cars to be pleasing to the eye, but their bus was not seen for a long time. The staff kept calling and asking, thinking that they were dereliction of duty.

As a result, someone took the initiative to walk to Situ Yunbing, saying that this was a chief sent to welcome the Chinese team, and that before the Chinese team left Saudi Arabia, their team would obey orders at any time.

Situ Yunbing was really caught off guard. He didn't want to accept this favor, but the problem was that their bus disappeared, and it was not a big deal for them to stay in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia was over 30 degrees during the day in October, which made people so hot!

Finally, they got on the luxury cars and then took the bus to the Fairmont Hotel, which was very luxurious!

Situ Yunbing got off the car and couldn't understand it again. This was not the hotel they booked!

The airport is quite close, less than 20 minutes' drive away.

Just judging from the luxury of this hotel, it is estimated that the cost will be quite high for a night.

But the visitor told Situ Yunbing that he had booked a room for them until the Chinese team left Saudi Arabia.

He really came to the world of rich people. Situ Yunbing was too lazy to refuse now, so he led his team to stay at the Fairmont Hotel.

Unexpectedly, one by one, his room was actually a luxurious suite!

Maybe there are only two Middle Eastern beauties dancing in front of the bed in three-point style!

This trip to Saudi Arabia is mainly to familiarize the Chinese team with the rhythm of playing in the seasonal and climate environment they think is abnormal.

The temperature in Saudi Arabia is relatively high throughout the year. The daily temperature is as low as 20 degrees in October, and the highest is still above 30 degrees!

In central and northern China, the temperature will definitely be dropping significantly.

When we were having dinner in the evening, the Chinese players seemed very restrained, and there was always a strange feeling of coming away to play games but being arranged in a mysterious place for no reason.

Before Situ Yunbing could use his chopsticks, a waiter came to pass the message and invited him to the private room next to the restaurant.

Situ Yunbing knew that it must be the chief, so he had to stand up and leave with the waiter.

There are many chiefs in Saudi Arabia, but they are basically royal families. The reason why Saudi Arabia is called Saudi because the royal family that ruled here is called Saudi Arabia!

When Situ Yunbing came to the private room, he met the chief sitting on the main seat by the window, Salman!

Next to him were two bodyguards.
