What Qatar head coach Carreño said in the interview were basically clichés and stage talk.
Only the last sentence is meaningful.
"If you want to get the promotion ticket, you need to show your true skills!"
The underlying meaning of this sentence is that we have already advanced, and we will not stop you from advancing, but don't think that we will just surrender, at least we have to show our face.
Obviously, Carreño was able to say these words because of the efforts of the Football Association.
The day before Qatar arrived in Chang'an, Qatar's senior technical advisor Milu came to Chang'an.
Yes, this Milu is the Milu who led the Chinese team to the World Cup finals for the only time. This is the first and last time that China has entered the World Cup.
Therefore, Milu's status in China is getting higher and higher.
Milu is a prodigal son in football, and the Chinese team is not the first team he has coached, nor the last team he has coached.
Chinese fans have feelings for Milu, but Milu only regarded that coaching as an ordinary working relationship.
Fortunately, there was some love, and the Chinese Football Association found Milu and implicitly expressed the hope that Qatar would show its favor in the final round.
Milou is also an old fox. He did not give a clear response to the Football Association. He just vaguely stated that the Qatar head coach now has great authority. He can only talk to Carreño. What does Carreño think?
Not sure.
The Football Association sacrificed its face and only gave such a reply, which actually hurts the self-esteem. However, the Chinese national team does not have absolute strength. If it does not use some means, it will never have a chance to enter the World Cup.
Moreover, West Asian teams have been using these methods, and the Chinese team has always been the one hurt.
After listening to the speech of the Qatar coach, many Chinese team players breathed a sigh of relief. They felt that their opponents would not fight against them and there was hope for promotion.
But Zhao Yang doesn't think so. He is a newcomer to the national team and does not have symptoms such as Koreanophobia and Islamophobia.
And now, after the Chinese team has won consecutive victories, Zhao Yang is getting angry and is very unhappy with the condescending tone of the Qatar coach.
Of course, Zhao Yang would not express his displeasure publicly. In private, Zhao Yang told several good teammates in the national team, "Qatar is just a second-rate team even in Asia, so why show off its sense of superiority?"
Qatar is our old enemy. If we beat them, we can score two but not one! We must hurt them and take away their psychological advantage so that they will tremble when they hear our name in the future."
Zhao Yang is used to seeing top clubs in La Liga, so he certainly doesn't care about second-rate teams like Qatar.
But the closer the critical moment comes, the more guilty these Chinese players, who have only learned from failure, feel that winning is good, regardless of whether the means are glorious or not.
At this time, the old captain Zheng Hua stood up. He supported Zhao Yang's view and gave examples to prove it. In the 1990 World Cup, Qatar was already out. The Chinese team could qualify as long as they won, but the Qatar team, which they said they were visiting, did not
He gave the Chinese team a black three minutes, causing the Chinese team to lose the right to qualify.
Captain Zheng Hua is approaching retirement, and he now plays more of a spiritual leader role in the team.
After Zhao Yang returned, Zheng Hua had another job - to help Zhao Yang integrate into the team.
Zheng Hua's words had a great impact on the players of the national football team.
In history, the Chinese team has suffered such losses many times. Although Qatar has already qualified, it is not reliable to expect them to let us go. Historically, countries in West Asia have always stayed together to keep warm.
Many players said that they must not be careless in this game, they must play hard, score more goals, and control their destiny in their own hands.
In the morning, the Chinese national team held its last training session in Jiangcheng at the Tazihu base in Jiangcheng. After taking a short rest in the afternoon, the whole team dressed in uniform suits and left Jiangcheng at around 17:00.
The Huaguo team played a hearty game in Jiangcheng, and the game was a joy to watch. There was a flood of praise after the game. On the day before they left, countless Jiangcheng fans came to the airport to see the national football team off and chanted "Jiangcheng will always be the home of the national football team."
"The warm banner, wishing the national football team a victory in Xi'an.
After more than two hours of flight, the team arrived at Xi'an Xianyang Airport in the evening, and then took a bus to arrive at the hotel around 21:00. At this time, many Xi'an fans were already waiting outside the hotel. They lined the streets to welcome their "heroes".
"Zhao Yang", "Wu Lei", "Jiang Ning"... Every time a national football player came down, everyone shouted his name in unison, and at the same time, everyone kept shouting "Come on, national football team".
Zhao Yang's treatment is naturally world-class.
The fans not only gave Zhao Yang flowers, but also presented various gifts, which made Zhao Yang unable to hold them with both hands.
Zhao Yang's fans are not limited to Chinese players, but also international student fans from abroad. They learned a sentence or two in Chinese from nowhere, and they just shouted, "Zhao! I love you!"
The players of the Chinese national team helped Zhao Yang carry the gift, and they were all envious in their hearts.
This kind of formation and courtesy, this kind of situation where the national football players and fans get along so harmoniously, the national football team has not enjoyed it for a long time.
Football Association officials, players and coaches were filled with emotion. Football Association Chairman Hua Zhencai said to the players and coaches, "See, don't complain that our fans are unqualified and impatient. That's because we have no results. Now we have 40 consecutive games."
We haven't qualified yet, but the fans are so enthusiastic. If we can reach the World Cup, think about what the situation will be like and what honors you will get."
I have to say that Hua Zhencai’s ability to be able to hold the position of Chairman of the Football Association is unquestionable. The timing of his words is very good. The players were already moved by the fans. Now think about the beauty of reaching the World Cup.
The prospects are even more exciting, and I wish I could start a war with Qatar right away.
After arriving at the hotel, the players took a short rest and then went to the stadium to adapt to the venue.
Now the team and the fans are harmonious. Even for a training session, there are more than 20,000 fans in the stands, which is more than the number of fans in a Chinese Super League game.
The stands were surrounded by banners.
"Zhaoyang Zhaoyang! Green shade is king"
"The national football team must win!"
“Sweep across Qatar!”
"I love you even if I win! I love you even if I lose! I won't love you if I don't fight!"
Not only were there banners, but there were also huge portraits of Zhao Yang, and the entire stand was decorated with lights and colors, making it look like a grand singing and dancing party.
With so many fans cheering for the fans, the Chinese players who originally just wanted to relax began to have fun on the court.
It used to be that when the results were not good, players who played tricks were regarded as frivolous, but now, they are indeed getting thunderous applause from the fans.
