Upon hearing this start, Chinese players and fans breathed a sigh of relief.
Compared with the first round, Qatar changed 8 players. Only goalkeeper Amin, right back Moussa, and midfielder Rodrigo Tabata appeared in the starting lineup again.
It seems that the Football Association has done a good job. Qatar really intends to train its troops, rather than preparing to attack the Chinese team.
Even so, the Huaguo team did not dare to be careless. In history, the Huaguo team had similar situations many times. It was clear that the opponent did not want to win, but the Huaguo team was unable to defeat the opponent, and ultimately lost the right to qualify.
After Qatar started the game, the entire Internet was speculating on the Chinese team's starting lineup.
Especially after the news of the dispute between the Chinese coaching staff and Perrin spread, Chinese fans and reporters became even more curious.
However, since the morning, no players or coaching staff of the Chinese national team have been interviewed, and even reporters have not received any news.
After a day of deliberation, one hour before the start of the game, the starting lineup of the difficult-to-deliver Chinese team was finally released.
This debut was definitely beyond many people’s expectations.
This starting lineup has undergone earth-shaking changes from the first mid-card battle.
Only three starters from the first mid-card battle made it onto the roster for the second mid-card battle.
This almost mirrors Qatar's debut.
It is said that Qatar's head coach Carreño was stunned when he was given the starting list of the Chinese national team.
Qatar has already advanced, and this game is just a formality. He doesn't know why the Chinese team makes such substitutions? Do they want to win without a fight?
Of course, Carreño didn't want to waste time thinking about what his opponent wanted to do. He had already let it slip before the game.
He didn't want to attack the Chinese team, but if the Chinese team wanted to advance, they had to defeat the substitutes they sent.
Carreño smiled narrowly, these substitutes wanted to be the main players in the top 12 games, and their motivation in this game was not bad.
Not to mention the shock to outsiders, even some of the players who won the starting position were surprised themselves, not expecting that they could actually start.
The most surprised person was not Hao Jun, after all, the team leader had talked to him before.
Cheng Cheng was the most surprised.
It is relatively easy to make substitutions at other positions, but as long as the main goalkeeper is not injured, the coach will not make substitutions easily.
After thinking about it, Cheng Cheng thought that he could start the game probably because he was more stable than Wang Lei.
In this match against Qatar, you don't need your goalkeeper to perform superbly, but you must make sure there are no low-level mistakes.
For Chinese fans, no matter who starts the game, even 11 dogs cannot stop their enthusiasm for this game.
Of course, because there is a poodle called Zhao Yang among these dogs, the enthusiasm of Chinese fans is even higher.
It is said that the tickets for this game have been sold out before the game against the Maldives.
Now the scalpers wandering outside the venue have sold the tickets to 2,000 yuan each, and the location is not very good.
At 7 o'clock sharp, the Chinese team entered the Chang'an Sports Center Stadium.
At this moment, the stands were already packed, with huge banners, national flags, and team flags flying everywhere, and singing and shouting coming and going. I don’t know, I thought the game had already started.
Watching the Chinese national team players go on the field to warm up, the fans' emotions seemed to have found an outlet, and they instantly burst into huge cheers: The national football team must win!
It wasn't until 7:10 that the Qatari players entered the stadium. Amid the boos from the fans, the Qatari players hurriedly came on the court and passed a few balls, shot a few goals, and then immediately returned to the locker room.
At 7:25, the chairman of the Chinese Football Association came to the stands with a group of officials from the Football Association.
Over the years, the football team has not done much evil, but they have caused a lot of mischief. Not only did no one applaud them when they arrived, but they attracted sporadic boos.
This made Football Association Chairman Hua Zhencai, who came to watch the game, very embarrassed.
At this moment, he could only pretend not to hear and quickly walked into the VIP box.
At 7:30, the on-duty referee Qasim from Iraq walked out of the locker room with the players from the Chinese team and Qatar.
The on-site DJ loudly announced the names of the players coming out of the Chinese national team. Every player who came out would receive warm applause from the fans at the scene.
I don’t know if it was deliberately arranged, but Zhao Yang was ranked last.
The fans who had been craning their necks for a long time finally saw Zhao Yang's figure. In an instant, a storm of applause swept the entire stadium.
Having worked hard in Spain for more than a season, Zhao Yang has become accustomed to such scenes. He calmly applauded to the stands and ran to the court lightly.
The DJ at the scene shouted: "Zhao Yang is the biggest star on the field today! He is also the only forward of our Chinese national team. He will shoulder the task of conquering the city for the national football team! Let us encourage him with applause again! Zhao Yang
Yang Zhaoyang..."
The stadium was almost instantly filled with Zhao Yang's name, and at the same time, applause once again surged like a tsunami.
On-site commentator He Wei sighed: "This is the power of stars! We finally have our own superstar."
Partnering with He Wei this time is special guest Fan Yi. Fan Yi is a retired star of the Chinese national team and a former super boss of the national team.
Fan Yi has always been known for his uprightness. He said bluntly: "Although Zhao Yang scores many goals, he is not yet a superstar."
He Wei was a little embarrassed and laughed at himself: "Compared with our players, he can be called a superstar."
Fan Yidao: "You can be called a super star. Zhao Yang's season this season is not comparable to that of Messi and Ronaldo when he debuted. However, a superstar needs results. If he can win a few championships, becoming a superstar is not a dream."
He Weidao: "It's not easy for people to win the championship in Spain."
Fan Yi said: "It is almost impossible for the Spaniards to win the championship. Looking at the history of La Liga, apart from Real Madrid and Barcelona, there are several teams that have won the championship. If Xiao Zhao wants to go further, next season, or at least the next season, he will have to switch.
Will be rich."
He Wei said: "Espanyol is a club bought by our Chinese boss. If Xiao Zhao leaves, let alone Boss Chen, we won't be willing to part with him either."
Fan Yi said: "Yes, it depends on how he chooses. If he can win a championship for the Spaniards before leaving, that would be the best, even if it is the King's Cup."
He Wei was about to speak when he heard a whistle and the game began.
