This battle will determine the outcome

November 14th is a very special day for Chinese fans.

It is also a day that not only fans are looking forward to.

"Watch the game tonight?"

"You must see it. All the dishes have been bought in advance. We must fill the table tonight."

"If you don't understand, you still have to look. We have to go there. Then, what kind of cup is that?"

"World Cup, uncle, if we win tonight, our country will enter the World Cup!"

"Ah, yes! I remember that more than ten years ago, it was also in our Liao Province. It was just in the Wuli River area. There were so many people. The sound of firecrackers didn't stop that night. It was so lively."

On the streets of Shenyang just after eight o'clock in the morning, there were gradually more people and cars on the originally quiet road, and reporters from Radio 5 were interviewing passers-by.

Facing the camera, whether they were men, women, old or young, the eyes of passers-by were filled with excitement. Even if they were not fans, they all enthusiastically looked into the camera and shouted cheers for the national team.

Many passers-by had personally experienced the grand event eleven years ago. Now when they recalled it, they were very excited and vividly described to reporters the joy and passion of the Chinese people on that qualifying night.

Many banners appeared in the streets and alleys of Shenyang overnight.

Slogans wishing the Chinese national team to enter the World Cup again can be seen everywhere.

In this city with a strong football atmosphere, although the temperature has become increasingly cold, the heat of football is enough to melt away all wind and frost.

The entire Northeast seems to have become active because of this football feast.

Since the morning, a large number of fans have set off from Dalian, Changchun, and Harbin, with only one destination: Shenyang Olympic Sports Center.

Countless media reporters were also stationed outside the national team training base early.

After more than two days of closed training, no one from the national team, from the coach to the players, was photographed.

Although reporters from Radio 5 said they were inside, no news came out at all, which almost drove the media people waiting outside crazy.

No matter what I say today, I have to get a few players and coaches to do interviews, even just a few words?

Fans are looking forward to it online every day. Whichever media releases some news at this time will be able to get the first wave of traffic. No one is willing to miss such a good opportunity.

But when it was almost noon, the door of the training base was still closed, and many reporters couldn't sit still.

However, the staff at the door still did not allow any unrelated people to enter. The reporters were anxious but helpless.

At this time, Wutong’s official Weibo account quietly released a ten-minute video of the players’ daily training online.

There was no need for publicity at all. Fans who were anxious to get angry quickly spread the video.

Although there are only some short video clips and the content is very fragmented, such as the warm-up before training, the laughter between the players, and it is impossible to tell what tactics the members of the national team are practicing, the fans have finally quenched their thirst. .

After releasing this video, Channel 5’s official Weibo released another interview video of the players an hour later, this time it was as long as 20 minutes!

He Wei chatted alone with a famous player in front of the camera. It could be seen that the video was edited, and the full version definitely took more than that. In the end, Li Mo's appearance aroused the interest of all fans who watched the video.

The chat between He Wei and Li Mo was very casual, starting from when Li Mo first decided to go to England to play football, until today when he returned to China to prepare for a key match in the World Cup preliminaries.

The chat content was naturally edited and looked like the beginning of a trailer, ending with Li Mo's "Must Win" slogan.

After the black screen, a string of conspicuous white text emerged:

"On November 17, the documentary "Nirvana" about the Chinese National Team World Preliminaries will be broadcast on Channel 5, so stay tuned."

Now the fans and viewers understood that the relationship was a warm-up for the documentary. No wonder the edited content seemed a bit fragmented.

Many fans are interested. In this world preliminaries, the temperament and mental outlook of the Chinese national team have indeed changed a lot. They all want to know what happened in the past year.

Moreover, Hao Junmin said something with a smile in the interview clip just now, which also made the fans feel itchy.

"No matter what, I have to thank Li Mo. He pulled me in when I was most frustrated. Otherwise, there would be no Hao Junmin in Frankfurt today. Maybe everyone would only see me playing in China."

Hao Junmin decided to start over in the Bundesliga 2 last year. This courage made countless domestic fans cheer for him and feel extremely proud of him. However, no one expected that Li Mo also played a role in this matter.

When we think about a rumor that is currently circulating in the country, it is said that several players who have successfully studied abroad are all because of Li Mo's push and help, and it is even more difficult for fans to calm down.

If this rumor is confirmed and Hao Junmin's decision to stay in Germany was made possible by Li Mo, Li Mo's reputation in the country will probably skyrocket.

It is a bit too much to say that one person pulled up the current Chinese national team, but it is definitely a credit to account for six or seven of the successes.

Once this type of discussion arises, it is difficult to stop it in a short period of time. It must be said that Wutai is also good at generating traffic. As soon as the two short videos were released, they directly attracted the attention of viewers across the country.

November 17th is still a Saturday, so without even thinking about it, the ratings for the documentary about the Chinese National Team released this time will definitely be a terrifying figure.

And while the fans were discussing it, just after two o'clock in the afternoon, a set of national team's expedition pictures released by Wutai's official Weibo instantly set off the Internet!

After finishing their lunch break, all members of the Chinese national team got on the bus and headed towards the Shenyang Olympic Sports Center to start playing on the field!

From the beginning of the top 20 competition to today, all the hard work that has been put in for more than a year will bear the most abundant fruits today.

Every member of the national team inevitably felt nervous at this time.

Amid the tension, there was uncontrollable excitement.

Especially for Deng Zhuoxiang, who had been sidelined for almost a year due to injury and now finally returned to the national team, his emotions were even more complicated than words can describe.

On both sides of the road from the training base to the Shenyang Olympic Sports Center, fans who received the news spontaneously gathered together, held up banners, beat the loud drums, and spared no effort to cheer for the Chinese team along the way.

Seeing this scene in front of them, the veterans Li Weifeng and Sun Jihai were also in a daze.

I thought that after 2002, they would never be able to enter the World Cup again, but I didn't expect that ten years later, they were once again standing at a critical intersection, only one step away from the World Cup!

The teammates around them have changed one after another. Among the people who played in the World Cup back then and are still in the national team, they are the only ones who can enter the World Cup again. For them, there is no hope in their careers.

Sorry.

An hour later, the players of the Chinese national team arrived at the New Wulihe Stadium.

The fans gathered outside the stadium cheered enthusiastically and shouted loud slogans to cheer up the national team.

The reporter from Channel 5 who had already started the live broadcast naturally recorded this scene into the live broadcast.

Li Mo and the others wanted to interact with the fans after getting off the bus, but under the urging of the team leader, everyone could only go into the conference room of the stadium first.

Without him, someone is coming from above.

For Li Mo, the last time he heard of this so-called pre-match mobilization was when he was in elementary school. At that time, the school's bald principal gave a speech for almost an hour at the opening ceremony of the sports meeting.

Although it was not as exaggerated as speaking for an hour today, the players and coaches below had to nod in agreement from time to time, which really made Li Mo feel very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the time was planned, and even though the leader on the stage was a little "reluctant" to give up, he still said "Come on" after being reminded by the assistant and walked away.

Li Mo and the others were also able to enter the stadium and get familiar with the competition venue and environment again.

At this time, the members of the coaching staff also started a heart-to-heart talk with the players who were still a little nervous.

Tactical preparations have been made a few days ago. As the game approaches, Director Gao pays more attention to the players' psychological conditions.

A good mental state may not necessarily help a player perform 100% of his or her strength, but if there is no mental relief, then a player is likely to be able to perform at only 60% or even lower of himself in the game.

strength.

Fortunately, none of the main players had any major problems today. Li Mo even had time to play a passing game with his teammates on the sidelines, which reassured Director Gao a lot.

At 4:30, the Chinese team completed their last small nutritional supplement before the game.

At this time, the players from Jordan had almost arrived at the New Wulihe Sports Center, but the players from the Chinese team had already returned to the home team's locker room, just staggered away from their opponents.

As soon as five o'clock passed, fans began to enter the stadium one after another. Director Gao completed his final tactical emphasis before the game in the locker room.

The current Chinese national team players are all familiar with the 4-4-2 formation. The Jordanian team will definitely retreat at halftime to counterattack. Therefore, if the Chinese team wants to take the lead first, the tactical arrangement of breaking the bus is the top priority.

.

This is also the significance of double-digit centers. To break down the opponent's defense, the effect of two high center forwards in the penalty area is outstanding.

Don't underestimate Gao Lin's role. In recent years, even against the defense lines of Japan and South Korea, Gao Lin has been worthy. His fulcrum role is outstanding. To fight against Jordan, a Gao Lin plus a devil-level Li Mo will be a tough choice.

It can also dig a hole in Jordan's defense line!

However, Director Gao still had a backup plan. If the high ball could not break Jordan's defense, he would try to find opportunities for set kicks in Jordan's half.

Shao Jiayi is still sitting on the bench. When the time comes to replace him with Shao Jiayi and Hao Junmin, the Chinese team will have all the left- and right-footed free kickers.

With Li Mo, Zhang Linpeng and Li Weifeng, the Chinese team also has an absolute advantage in set pieces.

All that's left is to look at the backcourt defense.

We must not let the Jordan team steal the chicken successfully, and we must not look at Jordan with the same eyes as before.

The Chinese team has indeed beaten Jordan many times before, but now Jordan has one point more than Australia, and is only one point behind the Oman team, which is third in the group.

No matter how weak a team is, if they see the possibility of making it to the World Cup play-offs, they will try their best.

There are too many examples of the weak defeating the strong in the football world. Even if Director Gao believes that the current group of players he has will not be careless, he has to emphasize again and again for fear that some players will underestimate the enemy.

Several veteran players in the team also stood up at this time and did some work to relieve the pressure on the team.

Li Mo didn't say much about this. His heart was very peaceful, but he couldn't ask others to be as "big-hearted" as he was.

However, understanding is understanding. If there are problems now, they should be solved in the locker room as soon as possible. After two hours, as long as you go on the field, whoever loses weight and makes mistakes will be left alone.

In the face of such a competition, there is no room for mercy. If you can make it, go ahead, and if you can't, just switch to someone else. It's impossible to ruin the efforts of an entire team over the past year just because of one person.

Wu Sanshi performed very well at this moment.
