Chapter 472 The Arrogant Little Japan
"3-2, Dong's goal helped Manchester United overtake the score. Yellow card, the referee showed Nasri a yellow card. It must be that Nasri was dissatisfied with the fact that he was not treated fairly when he fell in the penalty area of Manchester United. The referee was rude. It seems that the Arsenal players couldn't accept the referee's yellow card, and they gathered around the referee to complain..."
The lagging Arsenal players looked a little anxious after the game restarted.
Although the game became fierce, due to the anxiety of the Arsenal players, the game continued intermittently until the final whistle sounded, and neither side was able to rewrite the score.
3-2, relying on King Dong who came off the bench, Manchester United won a victory at the Emirates Stadium.
Manchester United, which took all three points, has temporarily climbed to the top of the standings with a goal difference advantage.
In the later round of the game, Liverpool defeated West Bromwich Albion and topped the standings with 29 points.In another game played at the same time period, Chelsea also won and scored all 3 points, tightly biting Liverpool with a one-point disadvantage, ranking second in the standings.
Although it took only a few hours to reach the top of the list, Manchester United, who had one less game, has well consolidated its third position in the league.
This week is a week of double matches. After the end of the league game with Arsenal, Manchester United returned to Old Trafford to usher in the League Cup opponent Queen Rangers.
King Dong, who scored twice against Arsenal last weekend, finally ushered in the starting lineup in this league match.
In the 58th minute of the second half, Dong Wang, who started the game, received a direct pass from Fletcher at the front of the penalty area, volleyed into the net from the outside, and scored the only goal of the game, sending Manchester United into the quarter-finals of the League Cup.
King Dong, who scored three goals in two games, is in hot form.
In the game against Stoke City at the weekend, he came off the bench in the second half and made a pass to help the team beat Stoke City 5-0.
The consecutive goals allowed King Dong to sweep away the haze of not playing in the previous rounds, and also made him successfully elected as the best player of the week for Manchester United.
After the match against Stoke City, Yu Liang and King Dong packed their bags and rushed back to China without stopping to prepare for the upcoming top ten match.
While waiting for their flight to Qianchuan at the airport, they were interviewed by the media.
"Scoring goals in three consecutive games, you are in a hot state. Will you continue this hot state to the game against Japan?"
In the next round of the Top Ten, the Chinese team will face the Japanese team at home.There is no doubt that the Japanese team is also the strongest opponent in this group, so this game is also a big test for them.
Naturally, this game has also attracted the attention of fans across the country.
Because of the problems left over from history, when the Chinese team meets the Japanese team, Chinese fans always hope to beat the Japanese team and teach them a painful lesson.
But in the past ten years, all that has been left to Chinese fans is bitterness.
Many fans of the younger generation can only learn about the high-spirited scene when the Chinese team faced the Japanese team from the mouths of the older generation fans.
Facing the reporter's question, Dong Wangwang, who scored consecutive goals, said with confidence: "I feel very good now, and I believe I can bring my excellent state to the game. I also hope to use goals to help the team win !"
"In the semi-finals at the beginning of the year, we failed to defeat the Japanese team. In the history of the confrontation between the two sides, we have not been able to defeat them for ten years. Will this affect your mentality? Will it affect the next one? What about the game?"
Not winning against the Japanese team for ten consecutive years is another embarrassing record engraved in the history of Chinese football.As for another great shame and humiliation, it is the loss of every Han.
At the East Asian semi-finals held in Chongqing at the beginning of the year, the new national football team that Chinese fans were looking forward to did not bring them the desired victory.
Although all overseas players have returned and the team's strength has been greatly improved, whether they can beat the Japanese team is still a concern of fans.
Listening to the reporter's question, Yu Liang frowned.
Think about that damn Korean-phobia, isn't it just what the Chinese media shouted out?Whenever there is a game against South Korea, the media will use Korean-phobia to hype it up.
Just like when they are playing against the Japanese team now, they have to speculate on the "heroic deeds" that have not defeated their opponents in ten years.
It seems to be motivating the national football players, but it may not be there to boost their morale.
Yu Liang was very disgusted with this behavior of the media.
"Of course not!" King Dong's answer was very firm. "Ten years of invincibility is already a thing of the past. From today onwards, we can not only defeat Japan, but also defeat South Korea!"
King Dong's sonorous and powerful words received a round of applause.These journalists who run sports all the year round also hope to hold their heads high in front of their foreign counterparts.Of course, these are not determined by beautiful words. What can determine this is naturally the strength of their national team.
"Can you predict the score?"
"There is nothing to predict, anyway, I will win several of them!"
Yu Liang, who was standing beside King Dong, shook his head inwardly when he heard what King Dong said.
Japan is not an ordinary team, but Yu Liang still has great confidence in defeating them.
After seeing off the reporters, Yu Liang and King Dong also boarded the flight to the provincial capital, where they will transfer to the football training base of Qianchuan County.
King Dong accepted what the media said, which really boosted morale.
It was just a few short sentences that made him attract fans successfully. Countless fans waited outside the training base for King Dong to ask for autographs and group photos.
He became the most popular player in the national team for a while, and some crazy female fans even showed their love directly outside the training base.
The crazy behavior of the female fans embarrassed Dong Wang, who is already a father, and made a big blush on the spot.
However, the crazy behavior of the fans did not cause much interference to the training of the national team.In order to keep the tactics secret, Shi Liansheng only trains publicly for 15 minutes every day, and then the entire training ground will be closed.
Closed training has filled the national team with a sense of mystery, and also made fans look forward to the refreshing performance of the national team.
When the national team was immersed in closed training in the base, the Chinese and Japanese media outside were arguing.
The reason is that Dong Wang accepted what the media said. He not only improved the morale of the national team players, but also inspired the morale of the Japanese national team.
Although Japan is not a popular country in the country, their tenacious character and humbly learning attitude are indeed admirable.
When facing the weak, they can dismiss it, but when facing the strong, they will definitely lower their posture.
Of course, this is not pure awe, they hope to learn the method of becoming stronger from the strong, and then defeat the strong.
Chinese football decades ago may have something to learn from Japanese football, but now that Japanese football is already the first-class in Asia, do you still need to lower your stature and learn Chinese football?Obviously this is not needed.
On the contrary, they also despise Chinese football very much.
Even though there are several players in China who have achieved great success and achievements in European leagues, they still look down on Chinese football.
Japanese defense general Iwamasa Taiki said very arrogantly in an interview with the media: "They have not defeated us in the past ten years, and they will not defeat us now. We must win at least three goals in this game!"
Iwamasa Taiki's arrogant remarks were unanimously endorsed by other teammates of the Japanese national team, and even named a new national idol by Japanese fans.
Faced with such arrogant remarks by the Japanese national team members, the Chinese media naturally refuted them there.
The Chinese media, who have no way to refute the results of the confrontation, changed their concept. They took advantage of the great success of Dong Wangwang and Yu Liang in Manchester United, souring Japan there.
There is no doubt that although Japanese football has gradually moved towards the ranks of the world's top teams, their country has not yet seen anyone who has made such great achievements in the European arena.Hidetoshi Nakata, the only one ever selected among the top [-] FIFA players, had already chosen to retire two years ago at the golden age.
Compared with the full blown rebuttals of the Japanese media, this is the only life-saving straw for the Chinese media.
So they also hoped to use the strength of the players to refute, but when they came to find Yu Liang and Dong Wangwang outside the training ground, they were rejected.
The Chinese media with limited power is naturally at a disadvantage in this confrontation.
What crushed the last straw of the Chinese media was what Japanese head coach Takeshi Okada said in an interview with the media.
"Yes, Chinese football has indeed emerged in recent years with many outstanding talents. They have achieved great success and achievements in overseas leagues. But the strength of an individual cannot be equal to the strength of a team. A lion leads A flock of sheep will never be nothing but a flock of wolves! So we are sure to win this game."
Takeshi Okada, who had already set his goal on the World Cup two years later, certainly did not pay attention to the current Chinese team.
When Takeshi Okada's words were spread to the national team, only King Dong threw the word arrogant to the media, and the other players did not express their views.
However, the training ground was full of chilling spirit, obviously the players were stimulated by Takeshi Okada's words.
This is exactly the side that Shi Liansheng is happy to see.
"You said after the game, do I have to treat Takeshi Okada to have a good drink?"
Gao Jun looked at Shi Liansheng's smiling face, with a wry smile on his face.
Like many people, he is also full of worries about the upcoming game!
