Mourinho was waving and posing when Lin Supo grabbed his shoulder and instantly lost his grace.
"Put me down, bastard, put me down..."
Originally, he wanted to take him to celebrate together, but the coach was so uncooperative that Lin Supo deliberately carried him for a longer distance.
When the dizzy Mourinho was placed in the middle of the field, before he could stand still, the Chinese team players grabbed his limbs and threw him into the sky.
"On an ordinary night, an extraordinary game touched the hearts of nearly 1.3 billion compatriots across the country. Fortunately, we won. The Chinese team won. It was a beautiful win. With a passionate coach, a group of people dared to fight.
The players who fought hard, we won the Japanese team, and the controversy about the strongest East Asia before the game can be put to rest. After the return of Lin Supo and Shaparev, the Chinese team defeated South Korea and Japan in a row, allowing the whole of Asia to see China
The strength of the team, this is how Chinese football should behave."
"It's an honor to spend a wonderful night with everyone. I believe that all the fans in front of the TV will also find this game worthwhile and enjoyable to watch. The national footballers who freely squandered their youthful sweat on the field not only won the game, but also won the game.
Winning the future, today, the Asian Cup, is just the beginning, it is far from the end of the story."
"Today, five international players under the age of 20 are on the field, and more outstanding young people will be selected for the national team in the future. Mourinho has not only brought improvements in skills and tactics, but also given us hope."
"I am also looking forward to what achievements this group of national players can create. Let us cheer for the national team together and cheer!"
Afterwards, the chorus of "Flowing Red Flag" filled the night sky with sounds from China.
…
Mixed interview area after the game.
Li Weifeng accepted the interview at a loss.
"...I'm happy, very happy. I'm happy to win against the Japanese team. I'm very happy to score a goal."
"Then what are your goals next?"
"Winning, I hope to keep winning and win the championship!"
"Okay, I wish your dreams come true."
Ning Xin turned to interview Lin Supo again, "I met Xiao Lin again. How did you feel about today's game?"
"It's okay. The Japanese team is very good. They should have scored more goals, but they failed to seize a few opportunities, so they are not very satisfied."
"Then you still have very high standards for yourself. Just now Weifeng said he wanted to win the championship, what do you think?"
Lin Supo looked at her with wide eyes and asked: "Are we here to travel if not to win the championship? No matter who the opponent is, I only have one goal on the court and that is to win."
"Okay, thank you Xiaolin for your cooperation."
At the press conference after the game, Mourinho also made a similar declaration. He himself is the same kind of person as Lin Supo - a person who pursues victory.
Japanese coach Kamo Shuu left in despair without saying a few words.
I just hope that the Japanese team can perform better in the future and let the people forget this tragic defeat, otherwise it will not be enough to go back and bow, at least ten or eight.
…
On December 14, the Roma team, which had just tied with its local rival Lazio in the Rome Derby, held up banners at home to wish Lin Supo and Shaparev a victory in the Asian Cup.
Obviously, Roma fans also miss the two attacking players.
Because they defeated the Japanese team and won the first place in the group, the Chinese team's opponent was different from the previous life and became Kuwait.
It was Italy that came next, and Lin Supo found out about it.
He expressed his gratitude to the Roma fans. Although the Roma fans are a little impulsive, they really dare to step up at critical moments. They are more active than the players in everything.
On December 15, in Abu Dhabi, the Chinese team ushered in the quarter-finals.
The opponent is Kuwait.
Chinese fans are even more enthusiastic today. It was really touching to enter the stadium with "Singing the Motherland" at the beginning.
It's just that today's opponent is indeed very strong.
"Light of Asia" Kuwait's strength has declined, but it is still the top team in Asia. By 2022, they will not even be able to enter the top 12 of the World Cup preliminaries. The reason for the decline of Kuwait football is also very simple, that is, there is no scientific and complete youth training.
Everyone is the same.
Lin Supo turned to look at Mourinho. He didn't know whether the Portuguese could help China establish a complete youth training system. He didn't doubt Mourinho's ability and understanding of his work, but he wanted to change a country's football.
That cannot be done by one person.
Director Zhang easily introduced Kuwait to the fans on TV.
"We have quite a lot of experience with Kuwait. In the 1981 World Cup preliminaries, the Chinese team defeated Kuwait twice. Today's opponent is the best."
However, not long after the game started, Kuwait took a 1:0 lead.
Lin Supo took his time, however. After playing for a while, he discovered that the style of Kuwaiti football is more Westernized and technical, and is really not good at physical confrontation.
Then give them a fight!
No matter how strong you are, can you still be stronger than AC Milan?
Soon he found an opportunity to equalize the score. In the 24th minute, Shaparev passed from the wing. Lin Supo jumped high under the double-team of three players and equalized the score with a shake of his head.
After equalizing the score, they grabbed the ball instead of celebrating, and the Chinese fans were almost hurt internally.
Duan Xuan shouted half-heartedly, laughing dryly and uncomfortably: "This is Lin Supo's character. He is not born strong, he is just born to be strong!"
"Haha, I wasn't worried about today's game from the beginning. We have a good advantage over Kuwait both tactically and psychologically."
As soon as Director Zhang finished speaking, Kuwait immediately launched a counterattack. They passed the ball quickly and drove into the frontcourt with a big kick, scaring Director Zhang into shutting up.
Fortunately, Li Weifeng was very decisive this time and rushed out of the penalty area more than 10 meters to complete the steal, saving Director Zhang's shaky commentary career.
Although fans all over the country like you very much, it's not like you just keep your mouth open and try to trick the Chinese team.
In fact, the advantages and conflicts have no obvious effect at all, but today the Chinese team's physical fitness is indeed superior and they are making good use of it.
Mourinho's risky move of putting young players on the field at once is more like a counterattack against previous doubts from some Chinese media.
Don't you think I'm taking risks?
Then I'll show you the more adventurous ones, and I'll let them start.
The young players did not slap Mourinho in the face. Li Tie, who was starting for the second time, was very active. He and captain Fan Zhiyi were as insurmountable as the Great Wall in the midfield, and Lin Supo did not need to catch up.
In the second half, Sun Jihai scored his first goal in his national team career with a long shot.
The final score was fixed at 3:1, and the Chinese team successfully advanced to the top four.
After the game, Sun Jihai was full of praise for Mourinho when he was interviewed.
"Mourinho has great charisma. He is the kind of person who can catch your eye when he stands there. He is a genius. I am very grateful for his trust in me and for everything. He makes us all believe that we can win
