Faced with Jiangcheng Zall's pressing pressure, the Longteng Club has not yet made a sound, and the fans have already voted for this matter with their feet.
A week before the game, tickets for the Longteng team's home game against Guangzhou Evergrande went on sale. When ticket sales started at 9 a.m., all the tickets were sold out within 3 hours.
In the next few days, countless people among Jiangcheng fans showed off (xuan) (yao) what they bought in the forum, in the WeChat group, in the circle of friends, in the QQ group, and in the space.
ticket.
Fans who did not buy tickets expressed their feelings under the raised f1ag, such as: "Don't let me see you in the stadium!", "Why don't you be so mean!", "Fuck!", "Fuck!"
!", "Ya Zhudie!", "Assi!", "Yikku!" and other replies filled the entire screen.
Many fans who had not bought tickets began to buy them online. Tickets priced at 30 yuan or 50 yuan each were sold to high prices of 200 or 300 yuan by the buyers. Even so, few people were willing to let go of their tickets.
to others.
As a result, the people asking for votes gradually went from shouting for high prices to becoming sad and crazy.
Someone said in the forum: "Someone give me two tickets, otherwise my girlfriend will break up with me."
Someone said: "Please give me a ticket. The price is easy to find. Besides, I'm a girl. If anyone gives me a ticket, I'll treat them to a movie."
What's more, "Before he died, my roommate hoped to watch a match between Jiangcheng Longteng and Guangzhou Evergrande. Who would fulfill his wish?" and so on.
At the same time, various media are hyping this game, and many of the headlines are also sensational. What is China Evergrande vs. China Evergrande, what is a fateful showdown, what is the present of Chinese football vs. the future of Chinese football, etc., which makes
Countless fans are excited.
Of course, some of the statements are very reasonable. For example, one media wrote the following words affectionately:
"The semi-finals of the Football Association Cup will start in a few days. But I prefer to call this game the second half of the Football Association Cup finals. Why? I think these are the two most distinctive teams in Chinese football today.
It’s also a showdown between the two strongest teams.”
"Why do I say that? Let's take a look at the actual situation of the two teams."
"First let's talk about Guangzhou Evergrande, which we Chinese fans are very familiar with. This is a team that is led by money. But money is not a derogatory term here, because all sports, including football, are inseparable from money.
, in this case, a team that is led by money should also be a team worthy of our respect, because they are a strong team, and a strong team should be worthy of everyone's respect."
"Let's first take a look at Guangzhou Evergrande's results this season. Guangzhou Evergrande won the championship with 77 points, 18 points ahead of second place Shandong Luneng. This is also the highest score in Chinese history. They used their strong
Their strength locked in this expected championship early. Throughout the season, they scored the most goals, 78, while conceding the fewest, 18 goals, with a goal difference of 60. At the same time, they also won the most valuable
The championship - the AFC Champions League championship. This is the highest honor that Chinese professional football clubs have dreamed of for so many years."
"Let's take a look at the players on their team: Zeng Cheng, Zhang Linpeng, Feng Xiaoting, Jin Yingquan, Sun Xiang, Rong Hao, Huang Bowen, Zheng Zhi, Zhao Xuri, Kongka, Muriqi, Elkeson, Gao Lin. Of course there are also
There are some quasi-national players that everyone knows, even if I don’t mention them, such as Qin Sheng, Liao Lisheng, Yang Jun, etc. Just look at the Chinese team’s games in the past two days, there are as many as 9 Evergrande players in the team.”
"Next let's talk about Jiangcheng Longteng. Maybe you have never heard of this name two years ago. Maybe you got a glimpse of this dark horse that once reached the FA Cup final in a newspaper a year ago.
, but to this day, I think if any Chinese fan still doesn’t know about Jiangcheng Longteng, it can only be said that he is ignorant. This is also a money-led team, but almost all their money is invested in youth training.
We have the most powerful youth training team in China today, the best training equipment in China, and the best youth training players in China."
"Let's also take a look at the results of Jiangcheng Longteng this season. In this season's Chinese League One, they won the Chinese League Championship with an unbelievable high score of 84 points, leading the second place Henan Jianye by 27 points. I think this score
The ancients have never been seen before, and it is difficult to see newcomers in the future. Like Guangzhou Evergrande, they scored the most goals this season, 81, while conceding the fewest 10 goals, with a goal difference of 71. Like this
The statistics are simply appalling. Moreover, the National Youth Team based on Jiangcheng Longteng has made a breakthrough for Chinese football - winning the third place in the World Youth Championship."
"Similarly, let's take a look at the players of Jiangcheng Longteng. They have 2 national team members: Sun Yu and Zhou Hai. They have 9 players who shined in the World Youth Championship: Qin Minghao, Li Yun, Xu Mingyu, Deng Qun,
Liu Xing, Lin Feng, Gao Jun, Wang Peng, Shu Jun. At the same time, they also have eight players who are the core framework of this national youth team: Ding Huaiyi, Yu Bo, Xiao Yunfan, Zhou Zhou, Ma Yongli, Zhu Xuhe, Xiong Jian
, Zhou Wei. Even the other players who have not been selected for the national title are not weak. In terms of foreign aid, they have the assists king of the Chinese League: Mahrez; the core of the frontcourt with both offense and defense: Ivo; the steals king of the Chinese League: Kan
Special; one of the best defenders in the Chinese League One: McGowan. Of course, the departure of Qin Minghao, Li Yun and Xu Mingyu will have a certain impact, but I appreciate the Longteng team’s decision to support players studying abroad.”
"Such a showdown between two champions is definitely the most dazzling collision this year, and it is also a collision between the present of Chinese football and the future of Chinese football. We will wait and see the outcome of the game."
At the press conference the day before the game, the first person to be interviewed was Lippi, the head coach of Guangzhou Evergrande.
The first question the reporter asked was: "Excuse me, coach Lippi. This time Guangzhou Evergrande came to Jiangcheng, did it come with a mood of revenge? After all, Guangzhou Evergrande lost the FA Cup at home last year.
"
Lippi was helpless when faced with this nonsensical question: "Last year when Evergrande faced Longteng, it was only in the first few rounds of the FA Cup, so we played a lot of substitutes and even reserve team members, which was completely different from this game.
There is no comparison. There is no question of revenge or not."
The next reporter mentioned a question that was even harder to answer: "Because we are facing a Chinese League One team, Guangzhou Evergrande can only play three foreign players. This will greatly affect Evergrande's tactics. What do you do?"
Look at the regulations of the FA Cup set by the Chinese Football Association."
Faced with this question that was obviously digging a hole for himself, Lippi said: "Our Evergrande team is not a team that only relies on foreign aid. The domestic players in our team also performed very well. How many players have played in the team?"
Foreign aid will not affect the overall performance of our team."
Then another reporter dug a hole: "The Chinese team played two games a few days ago, and a large number of players from the Evergrande team were selected to participate in the game. May I ask how the national team will recruit a large number of players from Guangzhou Evergrande?
Does the competition have an impact? How do you overcome this problem?"
This question, which was obviously meant to sow discord between Guangzhou Evergrande Club and the Chinese national team, made Lippi very angry: "All the strong teams in the world will have a large number of national team players, and I don't think they will because the players have participated in the national team."
If the team plays, it will lose other games. The same goes for Guangzhou Evergrande."
But the next question was very interesting: "Hello, coach Lippi, what do you think of Longteng's forward Deng Qun? This season he broke the record for the number of goals scored by the top scorer in the Chinese League One. May I ask?
How are you going to deal with him in this game?"
Lippi's answer caused a big sensation: "I like this player very much. He reminds me of pIppo (Inzaghi). In the penalty area, he is always 3,000 meters faster than others (this is what Lippi said about
Inzaghi's evaluation). And Inzaghi's subsequent playing style was the advice I gave him. If Deng can come to my players, I will make him the second pIppo."
Lippi's answer shocked everyone in the room. It seems that the rumors that Guangzhou Evergrande is very optimistic about Deng Qun are not groundless.
The reporter quickly asked: "Does that mean that Guangzhou Evergrande will bid for Deng Qun next?"
Lippi gave it away this time: "Your question has nothing to do with this game. I refuse to answer."
The questions that followed were lackluster. They basically asked questions about the status of some players.
And when Zhang Sheng was interviewed next as the head coach of the home team, the reporter did not let him go.
The reporter first focused on Lippi's evaluation of Deng Qun. The reporter asked: "In a previous interview, Guangzhou Evergrande coach Lippi said that they will make every effort to introduce Deng Qun, your team's main striker, and will train him."
Inzaghi of China, what do you think of Coach Lippi’s statement?”
Faced with this exaggeration, Zhang Sheng answered very cleverly: "Deng Qun has become China's Inzaghi under my hands. I believe his performance has proved this. Secondly, I have heard that many wealthy clubs have
In key games, such messages will be used to interfere with the opponent's players, but in many cases it will be counterproductive, because these players will work harder to prove that they are right. I believe Deng Qun will do the same in tomorrow's game.
"
"Then will you let Deng Qun go to Guangzhou Evergrande?" the reporter asked.
Zhang Sheng's answer was exactly the same as Lippi's: "Your question has nothing to do with this game, and I refuse to answer it." (To be continued.)
