The four-word headline on the front page of the daily well summed up the attitude of the people across the country.
The national team represents not only the national team players, nor just the fans, but all Chinese people and the motherland!
You may not have watched the European Cup that ended in 1996, but if you don't talk about the Asian Cup when you go out, you won't be able to talk. Not to mention the male fans, because the national team's performance has improved, many women have also been attracted to the ranks of fans.
It's not the kind of game where you just watch it, but you gradually become familiar with the rules, and then watch the games every week, and gradually become your own fan.
The most popular after-school classes in the streets are football, and football schools are popping up like mushrooms after a rain. There are even smart-minded entrepreneurs who have cooperated with Russian football teams to run schools, such as the Rostov Agricultural Machinery Football School.
It is very consistent with Lin Supo's hometown, and there is no sense of dissonance at all.
The 7 o'clock news in the evening gave a colorful account of the situation of the Chinese team.
“On December 19, the Chinese men’s football team defeated the United Arab Emirates 3:1 in the quarter-finals of the Asian Cup and reached the final. This is the first time in the history of the Chinese team that it has reached the final.
On December 21st, they will face the Yinlang team at the Abu Dhabi Stadium.
The entire Chinese team expressed optimism about the upcoming final, and team coach Mourinho said that the national team is now united and just wants to create history and bring a successful end to the 1996 year that is about to pass."
Next, Mourinho appears on the screen.
His current situation is just broken Chinese and a few English words.
"Well, the team is in good shape and there is no problem with the players' mentality. We have done a good job in preparing for the game. Logistics such as food and drinks are also brought from China. The players will not be disturbed by these things at all...
Whether it is for me or for them, the final is a test, but you have to believe that the final victory will always belong to us!"
Even though the language is not fluent, Mourinho is too confident.
His high-spirited appearance left a deep impression on audiences across the country.
Even if you are not a football fan, you can't help but know this Portuguese.
"Mour Mourinho" surpassed "Dashan" in one fell swoop and became the most famous foreigner in China.
Many people even hung posters of Mourinho in their homes.
Mourinho's quotes often appear in newspapers, and many students have memorized them as mottos. This is all the influence brought by football.
Thanks to the steady improvement in the performance of the national football team, the attention of the domestic league has also increased rapidly. The most intuitive thing is that not long ago, Channel 5 was calling on TV to attract investment. Now it has been reversed. Many far-sighted companies are desperately trying to get it.
Sponsor A.
Even the Chinese tunic suit has surpassed the popularity of suits in recent years because of Mourinho's personal promotion. Tailors have picked up their own styles and received a steady stream of orders.
Various primary schools, junior high schools and high schools have also launched various activities, and some schools have even organized "little coaching classes".
Parents of children are not idle either. Major enterprises and institutions have begun to hold internal football matches or penalty kick competitions, with prizes such as kettles and pens.
The situation of the Chinese team has also been reported back continuously with interviews from reporters in the front. Many people have no intention of going to work and are just waiting for the Asian Cup finals.
The Little Bangzi had been forgotten before, and it was said that fans threw rotten eggs at them after they returned to China.
The little book was not too easy either. Kamo Zhou kneeled all the way out of the airport after exiting the security check.
Once these two pieces of news were reported, people across the country were even more excited.
There is a blood feud on one side, and there are traitors and thieves on the other. Whichever of them has a bad life, the Chinese people are very happy. And the national team defeated both of them in one fell swoop, which has satisfied all the fantasies of Chinese fans.
As for reaching the Asian Cup finals now, I never thought about it before.
Far away in Japan, Yoichi Takahashi watched the members of the Japanese team kneel down and couldn't help but feel sad. This was not the Japanese team he expected, even though he was blind about the game.
…
On December 21, 1996, consumption across the country increased significantly, especially in terms of food and drinks. This Saturday, almost everyone was downstairs talking about football, and children were running around chasing the ball. People in the streets and alleys
The TVs placed in the stores all play five sets.
Reporters from the front followed the national team almost every step of the way.
"The national team has eaten, the national team has taken a nap, and the national team has held a tactical meeting..."
All details are continuously displayed in front of the national audience.
When the time was almost up and no one was wandering around in the streets and alleys, those with TVs went back to wait for the start, while those without TVs went to neighbors' houses.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, Director Zhang and Duan Xuan were already in the studio.
"Good evening, dear fans and friends, in 45 minutes, the Asian Cup final will start. I believe you have been waiting for it for a long time, and we share the same mood as everyone else."
"Yes, fortunately, we can now see the Chinese team warming up on the field. Hey, Mourinho also kicked a few kicks off the field. Just looking at these few kicks, his level is pretty good."
Duan Xuan said without blushing at all.
Director Zhang smiled and didn't answer. He was a Portuguese third-division league player, so he had the nerve to praise him.
"The lineup announced by Mourinho today is still 433. Lin Supo will undoubtedly appear in the starting forward position. The two wings are Ma Mingyu and Shaparev, Li Tie, Fan Zhiyi, Li Bingsan in the midfield, and the back line
They are Xu Hong, Zhang Genhua, Li Weifeng, Sun Jihai, and goalkeeper Ou Chuliang.
Contrary to what the outside world had speculated before, Mourinho still chose to believe in several young players."
"Actually, this is not bad. Although Sun Jihai and others occasionally make mistakes, their flaws are not concealed. Their performance is very promising. Starting to participate in the Asian Cup finals will further enhance their competition experience. If nothing happens, they will also become the 98 World Cup national team.
main member."
When it comes to the World Cup, fans across the country are just like the commentators. They never thought that the national team would not qualify, as if it was a matter of course that they had already entered the finals.
With such a strong national team, is there any reason not to qualify?
When talking about the World Cup, the Asian Cup suddenly becomes unpopular.
Of course, it is not that easy to win the World Cup. Let alone reaching the finals, they will be satisfied as long as they can qualify from the group stage.
During the warm-up, Lin Supo kept staring at one person.
The greatest star in the history of Yin Lang - Ali Dai Yin.
In his previous life, Ali Daiyin was one of the greatest shooters in Asia. He was very strong and very strong. He is a big threat to the Chinese team today.
Before the final, Mourinho said to focus on defense, and Lin Supo agreed with this.
If you want to defend today, guarding Ali Daiyin is the key!
