As night fell, Seoul World Cup Stadium was as bright as day.
With the approaching of the match time, more and more fans gathered outside the stadium, especially the Chinese fans in yellow shirts, who were obviously more powerful and slightly better than the home team fans in red shirts.
South Korean media reported that the Chinese Football Association once asked to buy 50000 tickets for this match, but it was rejected by the South Korean Football Association. In the end, only 30000 tickets were given. However, they still couldn''t stop the frenzied Chinese fans. They bought valuable tickets through various ways and came to the world Cup Stadium.
Now, it''s getting closer and closer to the time of the game, but the scalpers can still be heard selling tickets at a high price on the spot, and there are some Korean people touting business in awkward Chinese.
Fifteen years!
This is the first time in 15 years that China has entered the top 12.
But no one thought that, for the first time in 15 years, it was the enemy of South Korea.
In the past few decades, Korean phobia is like a nightmare, lingering on the top of Chinese football. Now, after 15 years'' absence, the Chinese team has once again entered the top 12 and once again met the South Korean team. Can we break this nightmare?
Legendary cold brought a glimmer of dawn to Chinese football in the dark, but now, can he create a miracle again?
Nearly 40000 Chinese fans came to the scene, and they just wanted a result.
They have come all the way to a foreign country. They have tried their best to support their beloved team, but their wish is very simple, just for a good result.
Micro blog celebrity Xiaoqi is in the crowd, and is constantly being coerced to the entrance of the stadium.
He is also through their own relationship, finally bought two tickets, with his girlfriend came to the scene.
"Ah, look, it''s Lin Xia." The girl next to him suddenly exclaimed excitedly.
Looking along the gesture of his girlfriend, he saw Lin Xia''s beautiful shadow from a distance.
With the popularity of alpine cold in China in recent years, Lin Xia has also received a lot of attention. Her beautiful appearance and fresh and refined temperament have made her a gorgeous goddess that countless men are dreaming of. She is charming and graceful, which makes everyone forget that she is the mother of a seven-year-old child.
She is not a star, nor does she deliberately appear in the media, but her fame is not inferior to any of the most popular female stars, and her fans are not inferior to anyone. Especially after she coached the Chinese national team in Gaohan, she has always been the most beautiful scenery in the stands.
But Lin Xia is not only a beauty, she is also a master of many foreign languages in a famous university. After returning to China, she set up her own company. After the rise of mobile Internet, she managed well and received investment from many venture capital companies, including an Internet giant in China.
Although Lin Xia is not a star, she is more attractive than a star.
What''s more valuable is that in the big vat of fame and wealth, her relationship with Gao Han has not only been strong for a long time, but also her marriage is well managed, which makes countless men and women admire her and regard her as an idol.
Xiaoqi''s girlfriend is also one of them.
It''s rare to see Lin Xia. Knowing that Xiao Qi is old with Lin Xia and Xiang Tianming, he immediately pulls him up.
Xiaoqi is also helpless. Seeing his girlfriend''s appearance of brain powder, he pesters Lin Xia. He is so embarrassed that he wants to dig a hole in the ground.
Fortunately, Xiang Tianming and Lin Guoping were also present.
"Mr. Xiang, I''ve heard the news recently. I don''t know if it''s true or not?" Xiao Qi suddenly remembered something.
"Everyone knows that you Xiaoqi is Bai Xiaosheng on Weibo. What wind have you received?" Xiang Tianming said with a smile.
"I heard that you are going to buy a Chinese Super League team?" he said in a low voice
Xiang Tianming opens his eyes and looks at Xiaoqi in disbelief. "Where did you get the message from?"
"Is that true?" Xiaoqi cunningly confirmed his guess.
To the sky Ming wry smile, "eight characters have not a skim."
"But I''ve heard that several teams are interested in working with you
Cooperating with Chinatown is equivalent to sitting on the powerful backer of Chinatown in La Liga and the best youth training strength of Chinatown in China and the world. Who doesn''t want to cooperate?
"I can only say that we are not interested in cooperation, we want to acquire wholly-owned, and we want to own our own football field, so at present, we have no specific goal, and we do not rule out the possibility of acquiring the Chinese first team or simply forming a professional team ourselves." Xiang Tianming returns to the road solemnly.
But even small Qi has received the news, it seems that some teams began to sit down.
It''s good for Chinatown.
In China, professional teams represent the name card of a city. If Chinatown enters, it must be aimed at building a Chinese elite team. Which city will not be interested?
"I see. If you need me, please let me know." Xiaoqi also promised.
He can have today, but thanks to the cold, this kindness he will never forget.
Just when Xiaoqi and Xiang Tianming are chatting with each other, the crowd in the square suddenly has a commotion.
The bus of Chinese team is here!

…………
Seoul World Cup Stadium is full of people.
Gao Han stands in front of the coach of the visiting team and looks directly at the international players who are warming up on the field, but his mind is clear.
For this game, he has already worked out the overall plan. From the beginning of the training, he has always been in strict accordance with the plan in an orderly manner, without any external influence and interference.
Now that the decisive battle is around the corner, he will not think and worry about it. He will focus more on the game itself.
He knows how to win this game, so he never looks forward to it.
That''s what he''s learned over the years.
South Korea national team coach stilik is standing at the exit of the players'' passageway, taking a deep breath, erasing the complex emotions in his heart, trying to make himself look more calm, more calm and confident, then he walked out of the players'' passageway.
As soon as he appeared in the stadium, he immediately looked at the coach seat of the visiting team. At the same time, Gao Han also looked at him and nodded his head with a smile, which made him start and walk away immediately.
Whether it''s out of the host''s demeanor or the mutual respect between professional coaches, he should go and meet Gao Han.
"It''s a great honor to compete with you, Mr. Gao Han."
"Me too, Mr. strick."
The two shook hands politely on the sidelines, looking like old friends who had seen each other for a long time.
"I really didn''t expect to have a chance to fight with you. If I remember correctly, we called several times."
"Ha, good memory, should be in charge of the Ivory Coast National team, for ya Toure." Gao Han said with a smile.
"That''s right. At that time, I didn''t expect you to be so talkative. Later, I talked about you with players like Yaya Toure and Drogba, and they all spoke highly of you
"Thank you." Gao Han said politely, "I''ve heard them talk about you, and I believe that tonight''s game will be very difficult when you meet an opponent like you."
"I feel the same way," stiellick said with a smile
The polite greetings of the two coaches did not affect the warm-up training of the players on the court.
Soon, it''s time to go back to the dressing room.
…………
…………
The goalkeeper Zeng Cheng, the back line are Jiang Zhipeng, Feng Xiaoting, Mei fang and Zhang Linfan, the midfield backwardness is Zheng Zhi, Yin Hongbo and Huang Baiwen, the front Trident is Wu Lei, Zhang Yuning and Gao Lin.
Eleven starters are sitting in the visiting team''s dressing room, quietly adjusting their emotions.
Originally, Gao''s plan was to let Wu Xi start, but the player was injured in the league. Although he recovered in time in the training of the national team, his performance was ok, Gao finally chose Yin Hongbo out of caution.
In the same situation, there is Zhang Linfan, who has just recovered from injury before this game, but Zhao Mingjian at right back is even worse. He has been suspended by the club for three times since July, and has not participated in the game for two months, so there is no guarantee for his condition.
As for Deng Hanwen, Gao Han is very optimistic about him, but such a competition is still unable to place high hopes.
As for Hao Junmin in midfield, he really caught a cold, but he has recovered. However, Gao Han thinks that his substitute effect in this game may be better. In the same case, Zhang Xizhe was also put on the bench by Gao Han.
The first eleven international players are basically veterans recruited before the cold, but there are also new players, but we have been training for such a long time, and we are familiar with each other. The cold has taught the players all kinds of details and arrangements of the game, and the rest is to see their on-the-spot performance in the game.
"I''ve just got the starting list of the South Korean team. There''s no doubt that I''ll try my best to play."
Cold words, let many people in the dressing room look up to see him.
This is expected. They are not surprised. They are just a little uneasy after confirmation.
But after seeing the high cold, this uneasiness was suppressed by them again.
All of this is not out of the control of the cold.
In other words, all of South Korea, alpine have guessed, and the rest, they need to implement the alpine arrangement of tactical play on the court.
"We are all very experienced players. I don''t need to say much about a lot of things. We all know that
"If I were here tonight to tell you not to pay attention to this game, you would not listen to me, because it is really very important. It can even be said that he has placed the expectations of more than one billion compatriots across the country. We all hope to live up to their expectations through our own efforts."
"In the past few days, as you can see, South Korea has won ahead of time. But I don''t think it''s a bad thing. It''s the so-called arrogance that leads to defeat. But the premise is that we should make 100% or even 200% efforts."
"As for how to play the game and how to deal with the situation, I have told you in the previous training. I will not repeat it here. I just want to remind you that I am confident to win this game, but only if you follow my arrangement."
"The first half is very important, and our goal in the first half is to seal the opponent without losing the ball, so we must pay close attention to the defense and keep the three lines compact and meticulous."
"Zheng Zhi, Feng Xiaoting." Alpine directly called the names of the two players, "you should pay attention to the organization of defense, always keep a clear head and calm reason, don''t let me down, understand?"
Zheng Zhi and Feng Xiaoting nodded solemnly.
In Gao Han''s opinion, Zheng Zhi is still one of the strongest players in Asia even though he is not young. Feng Xiaoting is also the leading central defender in Asia. Gao Han thinks that he has the strength to fight against the attack team of South Korea when they lead the back line.
"Believe me, guys, as long as you hold on in the first half, I can give you a victory!"
