In the locker room of the Chinese team, the players have already returned from warming up and are making final preparations.

Head coach Perrin said to his players through an interpreter: "Ten minutes later, it may be the most critical game for you in this Asian Cup. How important this game is, I don't think I need to tell you more, you should know better than me. What I want to tell you is that I hope you can treat this game with the mentality of playing the finals. Do you still remember what I said to you before the Asian Cup? We are very strong! We are not afraid of any opponents! The group stage proves this. As long as you all perform 100%, I think even South Korea can't stop us!"

"No matter what situation is facing in the game, please remember this sentence: We are very strong! We didn't come here by luck after leaving shit. We are the real first in the group. We are fully capable of defeating South Korea!"

At the same time, in the locker room of the South Korean team, head coach Stilik was also conveying his will to the players through the translation: "I have seen the voices before the game. I think that was deliberately hyped by the Chinese media. Create an illusion that they can be on par with us. But in fact, the historical record is clear, and the data is very clear. I don't need to say more. I just want to tell you not to be disturbed by the sounds off the court. This is just an ordinary football game. We have beaten them countless times, so this time we can beat them again. Stay calm and play at our own pace. Even if they have Gao Zheng, there is nothing scary about it!"

Inspired by the two head coaches, the players of both teams walked out of the locker room with full morale, and then looked at each other in the player's passage.

The Chinese players naturally glared at the Korean players and had no good expressions. The two sides have been in a grudge for so many years, except for winning once, and they were either tied or lost at other times. It can be said that the Chinese team has deep grudges.

After being reminded by the head coach, the Korean players realized that they were already one-header than the Chinese team and there was nothing to be afraid of. So they looked at the Chinese players with a sense of superiority.

So what if there is Gao Zheng? We also have Son Heung-min. After these two kings defeated us, we will be much better than your Chinese team, so what's there to be afraid of?

Thinking of this, when they looked at the group of Chinese players opposite, they felt like a group of clowns.

But Gao Zheng did not look at the Korean players. He was not the captain. He stood in the middle of the team, looking ahead, and turning a blind eye to the Korean players next to him.

With his personality and temper, he doesn't need to express his courage by staring at the other person.

The referee quickly led the players of the two teams out of the passage, and at this time, they finally stopped looking at each other.

As soon as they walked out of the passage, everyone was blown by the drizzle. The rain started falling since they warmed up, and it has been falling until now. This game will be a rain battle.

Seeing the players from both sides appear, the fans of the two teams in the stands cheered loudly and cheered for their team.

The live commentator Heping also felt energetic and shouted: "The player is coming!"

There are all rituals that should be there before the game, and the first one is the national anthem.

Chinese fans had an advantage in numbers in this game, so when the national anthem of the People's Republic of China was played, the sound of the chorus of the Chinese fans in the audience was much more singular than when playing the Korean national anthem.

More than 10,000 people sang the national anthem together, and it seems that it is no longer as simple as a song. Because some songs are used to sing, while the national anthem is used to yell.

Especially when everyone shouted at the top of their lungs: "Get up! Get up! Get up! We are united and advance with the enemy's artillery fire! Go forward! Go forward!"

It was as if a force had penetrated into the chests of every Chinese player from the stands.

They knew that they could not compare with the anti-Japanese heroes, but for Chinese football, the South Korean team was a mountain and a strong enemy in front of them. The Chinese War of Resistance Against Japan lasted for eight years, and the War of Resistance Against Korea in Chinese football lasted for thirty-seven years. Although they won once against South Korea five years ago, it seemed that the opponent was not convinced and we ourselves did not admit it.

It seems that this war will continue.

The Korean team is very strong, but at this time, are there any other options besides advancing under the enemy's artillery fire?

Everyone thought of what Gao Zheng said.

Today, standing on this court, that's it.

If you take life and death indifferently, do it if you don’t accept it!

Then fuck him!

When the national anthem was finished, every Chinese player's hands were shaking slightly, which made the Korean players who shook hands with them feel it.

After shaking hands in surprise, they returned to their team and discussed: "Did those Chinese players just now tremble their hands?"

"Hey, have you noticed it too? I thought it was an illusion..."

"It's not an illusion, they are really shaking their hands."

"Ha, are you so nervous about this? But this is normal. After all, there are 1.4 billion people staring at them. They are so good before the game. If they lose, how much pressure will it be?"

"Before the competition started, my hands were trembling with fear. I was so angry that I was so rude to this, "I'm just thinking about life and death, and if I don't agree, I'm just fucking me?"

Their eyes were curled up in their eyes as they discussed with laughter.

When the Korean commentator saw this scene, he praised the players' mentality: "Now it seems that the players are all relaxed and have relaxed smiles on their faces. That's right, that's it! We have a completely superior historical record with the Chinese team, and there is nothing to worry about! As long as we can cut off the connection between Gao Zheng and other players and limit Gao Zheng, other Chinese players are not afraid of it at all! You must have such a mentality, and you must not be dragged into the rhythm they deliberately created, making it as if they are as strong as us, and you will be disorganized!"

The commentator also agreed with this view: "That's right. We should focus on ourselves. As long as we play well, the Chinese team will have no chance at all! Gao Zheng is very strong, but his teammates are not of the same level as him, and they are even several levels apart. In fact, I feel a little sympathetic to Gao Zheng. I have to say some scenes to cheer up my teammates... If he doesn't say that, I'm afraid the Chinese team players will not have the confidence to play against us, ha!"

The commentator and the guest laughed happily.

※※※

After all the procedures were completed, the players on both sides stood in their respective positions, and the noisy scene gradually became quiet.

The referee glanced at the watch on his wrist and blew the whistle in his mouth.

Lee Genho kicked the football out, but center forward Lee Tingxie did not pass the football directly back to the backcourt, but instead sent the football to the side with a long diagonal pass, giving Son Heung-min who was waiting on the side.

"The competition begins!!"
Chapter completed!
