Chapter 379 Provocation
The Chinese team, who are preparing for the upcoming final in the locker room, naturally don't know the meaning behind this final, let alone the fact that the two most important figures in Chinese football have rushed to this stadium, and they don't think too highly of this unprecedented stadium in the world.

The players who were preparing to play seemed a little excited, not only because this game was the first time they represented the national team in the final of a major event—after playing the final of the World Youth Championship, there is really nothing to be nervous about the final of the Asian Cup—but it is just that there is always a little excitement about participating in historic events when they have the opportunity to be the first batch of players to play in an underground football field.

"I heard that there is a huge central air conditioner installed in the so-called The Wall stadium. When it is turned on, the whole stadium is breezy. We are lucky now, and we don't have to compete against the Koreans in the scorching sun, and the running is more vigorous!" Li Jie said in the locker room like a know-it-all.

But there was some doubts around: "Are you bragging again, kid? The central air-conditioning is calculated by the square meter. The stadium has at least a few thousand square meters. Qataris are so rich?"

"Of course, otherwise, how could it be called an underground stadium? It's not easy to install an air conditioner in a closed one!" Li Jie stared.

"Xiao Lizi didn't brag this time." Dai Guangming said with a smile: "It's not just one central air conditioner, but many. When there is a game, the temperature in the arena is constant, and it is hardly affected by the outside climate. Now I am looking forward to the game. I don't know if it will be more comfortable to play without being affected by external conditions."

Dai Guangming's remarks attracted many people's fascination, but this situation is very common when playing in indoor football fields, but the indoor football field is not as big as a regular football field.

"I feel a bit bad." Long Bisheng suddenly interjected from the side: "I heard that this stadium can only accommodate more than 1 people. When playing football on the field, there are only more than 1 people cheering in the stands... It's a little bit lacking in atmosphere."

The players of the national team are not used to playing in stadiums with tens of thousands of people. Whether it is an away game or a home game, they feel that it is true when they hear Long Bisheng.

Thinking of this, the players' excitement about being the first batch to play in the underground football field faded, and they began to prepare for the game wholeheartedly.

Ding Yu walked in from the door at this time, and saw that the players did not seem very excited to chat, but were preparing for the game in an orderly manner and taking time to rest. He frowned slightly in surprise, and then slapped his hands: "Guys, get ready for the game."

************************************
When the players entered the field, the two big figures sitting in the box also finished their conversation and began to watch the game with great interest.

Seeing the look of nostalgia in Pei Wei's eyes, Xu Bing, chairman of the Chinese Football Association, first vice chairman of the AFC, and FIFA, laughed and teased him: "Don't look, those people you cultivated by yourself retreated, left, and those who didn't come didn't come. Now this national team has no direct descendants of you."

Pei Wei smiled. Xu Bing is his friend for nearly 20 years. He naturally knows that most of the players in the Chinese team that left the swan song in the 2010 World Cup are his direct descendants, such as Nie Fei, Sun Chenghai, Zhu Guosheng, Wu Jiang, Ai Lin... those [-] or [-]-year-old youths when he founded Yunjia Tianyu Club are now veterans over [-] years old, and basically on the verge of retirement. Those foreign players such as Tony, Materazzi, Ballack and others have basically retired. Except for Tony who returned to Yunjiatianyu two years ago and has not retired yet, Ballack and Materazzi have both retired, and Drogba is also on the verge of retirement.

It has been 1994 years since Yunjiatianyu was first formed in 17. Maybe this time is not very long, but it is enough for a player to complete the entire process of his career.

"What does that matter?" Pei Wei laughed, pointing to the Chinese team members who had already been scattered on the field: "Long Bisheng, Dai Guangming, Zhou Zhou, Li Jie, Zhang Yi, Hu Gandang, Wu Bufan...these seven were all trained by Yunjia Tianyu Football School, Du Zhenyu and Zhang Yiming who didn't play, Messi, Adriano, Li Fang, Du Wei, Chu Ran who didn't come... These people all came out of Yunjia Tianyu! Nie Fei left, Long Bisheng and his group of players filled in again If they leave in the future, other people will fill in! My Yunjiatianyu has the most outstanding talent training system in China, as long as this system is not chaotic, not backward, and not complacent, Yunjiatianyu will always be a pivotal force in Chinese football!"

Afterwards, Pei Wei's original flat tone was filled with arrogance. He is qualified to say this, because no one knows better than him, what would Chinese football be like without him!
Xu Bing smiled and looked at this old friend, this comrade who had only been in the same trench with him for less than a year, but had been silently supporting him behind him, and subtly changed many things with his wrist like spring wind and rain.

"Old man, it seems that you don't want to retire yet, so I feel relieved." Xu Bing looked at his old friend who was more than ten years younger than himself: "During this time, there are always rumors that you plan to retire to enjoy the world. At the very least, you will completely withdraw from the domestic football circle and only concentrate on taking care of your Newcastle club..."

"Bullshit." Pei Wei waved his hand: "I'm only 51 years old, and I haven't reached the retirement age. Why should I retire? At least I want to retire after I feel confused... Besides, I don't work in any unit... I don't care much about domestic football now because I don't need to. This time you call me, don't I rush here? Now that the domestic league is developing so well, if I want to interfere indiscriminately, I will only be out of my mind."

"But you've kept a low profile over the past few years." Xu Bing said with a smile. He also believes that this old friend who has always been unwilling to be lonely will not just retire like this. This is not his character.

"I used to do too many things, and I did all the things I needed to do... I used to be high-profile because the Chinese league needed a high-profile, eye-catching boss to attract attention. Now, hehe, I don't need it anymore." Pei Wei laughed: "Besides, an old guy jumps up and down, and I have to maintain my image in front of my son."

"I'm only ten years older than you, but now my grandson can play soy sauce, and your son has just entered junior high school... Alas, the gap is a bit big." Xu Bing shook his head proudly.

Pei Wei got angry, so he immediately changed the topic: "The game has started, watch the game and see how our young man can deal with the Korean guy."

"Be polite, he is our ally." Xu Bing laughed.

********************************************
The game started. The Chinese team played in a four-four-two formation, while the South Korean team remained in their traditional three-four-three formation. Goalkeeper Jung Sung-ryong, defenders Oh Bum-seok, Lee Jung-soo and the 21-year-old Lim Jong-eun, midfielders Park Ji-sung, Baek Ji-hoon, Lee Chung-yong and Ki Sung-yong, and forwards Park Joo-young, Shin Young-rok and Seok Hyun-joon.

Among the eleven starters, only Park Ji-sung and Lee Jung-soo are veterans around 30 years old, five players are under 27 years old, and four players are under 23 years old. Among them, Lin Zongen and Shi Xuanjun are the standard post-1990s. Lin Zongen was born in 1991 and participated in the World Youth Championship with Long Bisheng and them. Now that they have emerged in the Ajax first team, these two are talents that have emerged in Korean football in recent years.

Ding Yu also attaches great importance to these two players. Given their current age, they will definitely be strong opponents of the Chinese team in Asia in the future. These two are a central defender and a center forward, and they are just right against the Hoffenheim double stars Long Bisheng and Li Jie of the Chinese national team.

In the past, there were not many tall players in the South Korean team. Even when they had an absolute advantage over the Chinese team, South Korean players have always been envious of the excellent physical fitness of the Chinese players. However, these two young players are different. That's all.

When the players from both sides shook hands, the atmosphere was not so friendly.

Although football exchanges between the two countries are quite frequent now, many Chinese players play in the South Korean J-League, and many South Korean players play in the Chinese Super League. Next season, the two leagues will not limit the foreign aid status of the opponent's players, but the grievances between the two countries are very deep. Chinese players feel annoyed when they think of being suppressed by South Korean players for decades, and South Korean players are not willing to be taken away by China. The number one position in Asia.

When Long Bisheng shook hands with Lin Zongen, he felt that the other party's strength seemed to be a little stronger. Looking down at the provocative gaze in the other party's eyes, he couldn't help but smile, and immediately tightened his hands. Lin Zongen felt as if he was holding a piece of iron, and immediately let go of his hand in shock. Seeing Long Bisheng's still gentle smile, he couldn't help clenching his teeth.

If Long Bisheng glared at him, he wouldn't be so angry, but he was actually laughing!Laughing like seeing a naughty child!
How could you underestimate me so much!
Lin Zongen gritted his teeth and thought: I will make you look good during the competition!
