Chapter 1165 World Cup Legend, Eastern Expedition
After two days of training in Daocheng, Li’s team flew back to the capital to go through relevant exit procedures. Fan Yang and three players from the Chinese Super League also joined the national team here, and flew to Tokyo, Japan the next day. In the final round of World Cup qualifiers against the Japanese team.

At 6:30 a.m. on June [-]th, when the sky was still a little hazy, the staff of the national team arrived at the airport. As an advance team, they had to go through airport procedures such as checked luggage for the international players in advance.

An hour later, the national team bus also departed from the hotel to the Beijing International Airport. Most of the people looked a little sleepy due to getting up too early. Yu Tong, Xu Yang and other young national players kept yawning, but the veterans Li Huan was full of energy, like a young man from Venus School going abroad for the first time.

Thousands of fans and reporters have long known the time when the national team will go abroad. They came to the airport early to stay. Watching the players taking pictures and sending flowers, some shouted "We must win!" "We believe in you, Li Huan!" Some aggressive shouted "Kill Little Japan!" The atmosphere was as enthusiastic as a competition, and everyone who came to the airport to see him off or pick him up all looked sideways.

At 9:20, the CA925 flight of the Chinese team departed for Tokyo, Japan amidst the roar.

Tokyo is the capital of Japan, the largest city in Asia and the second largest city in the world.One of the largest economic centers in the world and one of the most populous cities in the world, Tokyo has a temperate marine monsoon climate with four distinct seasons and abundant precipitation.Affected by the southeast monsoon in summer, there is more precipitation, and the Japanese team is also better at water battles.

At 1:30 pm, the Chinese team's flight landed at Tokyo's Narita International Airport 20 minutes earlier than originally scheduled.As soon as he left the customs, hundreds of reporters and more than 3000 fans surrounded him.Because the Chinese team was notorious before, and later they were all little-known hairy kids. The Japanese Football Association officials who came to pick them up obviously did not expect so many people to pick them up. Instead, they were squeezed out by these fans.

These fans include Chinese and overseas Chinese, as well as some Japanese. Li Huan has a high status in the eyes of Japanese fans, and there are also many die-hard fans. He can see his idol play football in his hometown. These fans are even more popular than the international students who pick him up. It's still early, and the wait is still long.

Since the time was 20 minutes earlier than the original schedule, and seeing so many fans coming to pick up the plane, Li Huan allowed the players to accept the fans' group photo and signature, and accept a 10-minute live interview with reporters.
Li Huan's words caused him a lot of trouble. Before he finished speaking, most of the reporters and fans rushed towards him. The security guards at the airport and Li Huan's two personal bodyguards managed to get the fans and reporters away from Li Huan. Even so, Li Huan was raped by some Japanese female fans, and his face was stained with lipstick in several places.

A Japanese reporter asked Li Huan straightforwardly: "How much hope do you think the Chinese team has to win in Tokyo?"

Li Huan said calmly: "It's as big as the Japanese team."

A Japanese female reporter asked provocatively: "The Japanese team has already qualified ahead of schedule before this round, and many overseas players have not been called back by Coach Zaccheroni. Does this give you greater hope of winning?"

Li Huan smiled slightly and said: "You must have never played football before. Winning or losing has nothing to do with qualifying or not. This is honor and self-satisfaction. Not all Japanese overseas players have returned, and we are still a second-tier team. "

A Chinese reporter asked: "The Chinese team must win this time. Does the team feel a lot of pressure?"

Li Huan said: "There must be pressure. There is still pressure for students to take exams, but we will turn the pressure into motivation."

"The Japanese team is the strongest team in Asia. Their skills are very good. Have you thought of a way to deal with them?" The Chinese reporter continued to ask.

"The strongest in Asia is their average level. Maybe they won't be able to perform in this game. They played as badly as the original national football team. We will definitely find a way to deal with them, but I won't tell you."

Li Huan's frank words drew a burst of laughter from reporters and fans.

In addition to Li Huan, the assistant coach Chu Fu was also surrounded by several reporters for interviews. As a person who should be hiding behind the scenes, Chu Fu was obviously a little uncomfortable.

"Excuse me, Director Chu, are you the team's assistant coach or acting coach?"

Chu Fu smiled slightly. He has been asked this question many times, "I am an assistant coach, not an agent. The team's tactical arrangement and design are the ideas of Coach Li Huan, but he has not yet obtained the coaching certificate, so You can come and ask me any questions about coaching."

"Can you adapt to such a special role now?" asked a Chinese reporter.

"Yes, of course, Li Huan is a very tolerant and cooperative player, and he will also be a good coach. I am very satisfied with this role, and the results of the national team also show this."

"I would like to ask Director Chu, the former coach of the national team Camacho said that Chinese football is 20 years behind Japanese football. Similar words have been said by Troussier and the current coach of the Japanese team, Zaccheroni. Do you think what they said is true? ? If it is true, how can the Chinese team, which is 20 years behind, defeat the Japanese team?" asked a reporter from Japan's "Yomiuri Shimbun".

Chu Fu pondered for a while, and said: "What they said is the truth. Chinese football is 20 years behind Japanese football, but Li Huan is at least 30 years ahead of Japanese players. After 30 years, it is impossible for Japanese football to have a superstar like Li Huan. This is where our confidence in defeating the Japanese team lies."

Chu Fu's words left the Yomiuri Shimbun reporter speechless, but the surrounding Chinese fans and reporters couldn't help applauding.Yes, because of those bureaucrats, Chinese football has been going backwards. Chinese football is 20 years behind Japanese football, but Li Huan is a wonderful flower among 15 billion Chinese people, just like Liu Xiang in hurdles and basketball in basketball. Yao Ming, and Li Huan’s achievement is greater than the above two. His achievement is a miracle. Let alone Japan, Brazil, Argentina, Germany, Britain, Italy and other football powers dare not say that Li Huan can be produced in 30 years.

After murdering all the footage in the cameras of journalists and fans, the Chinese team rushed to the Takanawa Prince Hotel where they were staying at the urging of Japanese Football Association officials, where they took a short rest before going to the Tokyo National Stadium in Shinjuku for adaptive training .

When the Chinese team was resting, the interview footage of the Chinese team at the airport spread all over the island of Japan. Among them, Li Huan said that the Chinese team had the same hope of winning as the Japanese team. Chu Fu said that Li Huan was 30 years ahead of the Japanese players. Discourse has also become the focus of discussions among Japanese media and fans.

Although the mainstream media has repeatedly promoted the friendship between China and Japan, our neighbors still have a kind of jealousy and contempt for the Chinese Empire. They are afraid of the vast land, large population, rich resources, and look down on China's backwardness and ignorance. In terms of football, Japan People's sense of superiority is even stronger. Although what Li Huan said is a little exaggerated, it is not too much, because the Chinese team is fighting to the death, while the Japanese team has already landed in advance. The fighting spirit of the two teams is different. Willing to return to China to participate in the war, and those who come back are also exhausted because the European League has just ended. It is hard to say how much fighting power they can have.And what Chu Fu said was completely true, and he might even be a little humble.

However, their words still caused dissatisfaction among some Japanese fans and the media. In their view, the Chinese team is simply not qualified to compete with the Japanese team. The main force, they are seeking to leave Asia and enter Europe, but Li Huan said that the Japanese team's defeated Chinese team can win Japan in Tokyo, which makes Japanese fans happy.

The newspaper has not had time to print, but there is already an uproar on TV and the Internet. The radical Japanese fans scolded Li Huan for overreaching, thinking that they can compete with the Japanese team by defeating Uzbekistan. The great Japanese team will be at their home court. Let the Chinese team know what is advanced overall football and what is mob.

The Japanese TV station also implied that Li Huan's words were exaggerated. The newly established Chinese team is still very naive. They should consider how to draw with the powerful Japanese team in the away game instead of talking about victory. There is no possibility, as long as Qatar and Uzbekistan are tied, Uzbekistan is behind the Chinese team in small points, and they can only be fourth in the group with the same points.

Because of Li Huan and Chu Fu's speeches, the Chinese team's training at the Tokyo National Stadium in the afternoon not only attracted many Chinese fans and Chinese fans from the Eastern Expedition, but even some Japanese team fans came to the stadium to watch. Of course, they mainly came to show The Chinese team and Li Huan were blocked.

For most of the players in the Chinese team, this is the first time in their lives that they have stepped into this stadium known as the holy land of Japanese football. The appearance of the National Stadium built in 1958 already looks a little mottled, but when they stepped into the stadium, the rookies of the Chinese team were shocked. Both the stadium lawn and the bench seats are world-class. I couldn't help admiring the beautiful lawn.

The length and width of the National Stadium have reached 110 meters and 75 meters respectively, which is the upper limit of the stadium length and width standards stipulated by FIFA. This makes Li Huan and Chu Fu a little worried, because the Chinese team is definitely going to play a defensive counterattack. And such a large stadium is not good for the defensive side, but it is very good for the technically excellent Japanese team.

"No wonder they want to use this court." Chu Fu said to Li Huan with a wry smile.

"The home court definitely has an advantage. Don't worry, they lack strong forwards and can't break through our iron barrel formation. Let's train."

Li Huan confidently said to Chu Fu.
