Chapter 165 Team China!Kick in the door!
"The goal of the national team is the championship!"

Soon, Li Qingshan's words appeared on the headlines of the major media.

As the deputy captain of the national team, his words are naturally considered by the outside world to be the collective will of the team.And because the captain Zheng Zhi was injured in the last round of the league, it is not yet known whether he can pay in time before the Asian Cup. Therefore, Li Qingshan is likely to be the one who wears the captain's armband of the national team in the Asian Cup in Australia.

Despite Li Qingshan, not many people in China have thought about the fact that the national team can win the Asian Cup.

After all, the downturn in Chinese football over the years has left people without the confidence to make any demands on the performance of the national team, especially in official competitions like the Asian Cup.

Although Li Qingshan said that this is the direction of the national team's efforts, some people still raised doubts.

For example, Ma De, a reporter from "Sports Weekly", questioned in the column: "Does the current national team have the strength to win the Asian Cup? I don't think so. Li Qingshan is very capable and can bring enough on the offensive end. Influence, but what about defense? You know, apart from Li Qingshan, what is the difference between the current national team and the national team that lost to the Thai Youth Army?"

"Lipi is a human being, not a god. He also needs to take care of the food. There are only so many people who can provide him. These people can lose five goals against the Thai youth army. Such a defensive quality is very good anyway. It's hard to believe that the national team can make a breakthrough in the Asian Cup. How can it taste like roast goose with pickles?"

"Although Lippi has played quite well in various warm-up matches since he took office, the gold content of such results is actually very low. Without the test of official games, it is difficult to say what kind of progress this national football team has made."

Represented by Ma De, this is also the view of quite a few people. After all, football is an overall sport, and Li Qingshan is a striker. His contribution to defense is basically zero. In this case, it is really difficult for the national team to let Man musters confidence.

With such controversy and discussion, the Chinese team announced their 23-man roster and submitted it to the AFC for registration.

Li Qingshan, as the only returnee player of the Chinese team, is impressively listed.

And Zheng Zhi, who was still recovering from his injuries, also appeared on the list.It seems that Lippi still trusts Zheng Zhi quite a bit.

There are basically not too many surprises in other candidates. Since Lippi took office, his lineup of main players has been relatively fixed.

There is no doubt that Guangzhou Evergrande has the most players. A total of nine Guangzhou Evergrande players have been called into the national team.

In terms of defense alone, Lippi basically moved Guangzhou Evergrande's midfield.

Goalkeeper Zeng Cheng, right back Zhang Linpeng, two center backs Feng Xiaoting plus Mei Fang, left back Li Peng.

Due to the long-term injury of Korean foreign aid Jin Yingquan this season, the league has basically not played much.Such a line of defense is basically the main line of defense for Guangzhou Evergrande this season.

In addition to Zheng Zhi and Huang Bowen in the midfield, Gao Lin and Yu Chao in the frontcourt, nine players were transferred from the same club to the national team in one go. This is very rare in the history of Chinese football.

If it weren't for the aura of the World Cup champion on Lippi's head, some people would have questioned Lippi's nepotism.

But fortunately, the current national team has not been found to be sprayed. Therefore, the Chinese team has been training in Guangzhou for a period of time in a calm public opinion environment.

They did not leave for Australia until December [-]th.

What kind of achievements they can achieve in Australia, when they return from Australia, whether they will be greeted with flowers and applause, or abuse, everything is still unknown.

The weather in Australia is much warmer than that in China.In December, even in Guangdong in the south, the weather has turned cold.

At this time, it is a warm summer in Australia, and the maximum outdoor temperature does not exceed 28 degrees. This is a very comfortable body temperature, which is very suitable for sports.

The first game of the Chinese team will be against Saudi Arabia at the Brisbane Stadium. Therefore, the Chinese team has found a training ground in Australia near Brisbane.

The Chinese team in Australia played two more warm-up matches to further fine-tune the lineup.

Judging from these two warm-up matches, the players of the national team are in good condition.After all, although Li Qingshan has not been selected for the national team for a long time, and he has not participated in many training camps for the national team, he is no stranger to this national team.

After all, most of the teammates around him were his teammates in Guangzhou Evergrande, and the tactics Lippi arranged for him were also in Guangzhou Evergrande, and even more thorough-when he was in Guangzhou Evergrande before, The team is still running a dual-core team, and now the national team's tactics are completely arranged with Li Qingshan as the core.

As time progressed, the Asian Cup finally kicked off.

The first to play is the host Australia team. At [-]:[-] BJ time on January [-]th, the opening game of this Asian Cup will be held at the Melbourne Rectangular Stadium.Hosts Australia take on Kuwait.

Australia's strength is of course higher than that of Kuwait, and they play at home and play very proactively.In the end, Australia defeated Kuwait four to one.

With the start of the opening game, the competitions of each group have also started one after another.

The first match of the Chinese team in Group B was held at [-]:[-] pm on January [-]th, BJ time. Uzbekistan defeated the North Korean team [-]-[-] at the Australian Stadium in Sydney.

After the game is over, it will be the game of the Chinese team.

China takes on Saudi Arabia at the Brisbane Stadium.

Due to the large number of local Chinese, the Brisbane Stadium, which can accommodate more than 3 people, poured in more than 2 Chinese fans wearing red clothes.Lively turned this stadium into the home field of the Chinese team.

The Chinese are now the second largest ethnic group in Australia.A large number of Chinese immigrants, overseas students, and businessmen have poured into this continent in the southern hemisphere. Basically, Chinese can be seen on the streets of major cities in Australia.

Even due to the large number of Chinese, road signs in many cities in Australia are bilingual in both Chinese and English.

When the national football players walked into this stadium, they even had the illusion that they were still in China.

Amid bursts of cheers, the camera lens locked on some slogans played by fans of the Chinese team.

In the center of the stadium stands, several fans held up a big sign to form a banner.

"Team China! Kick it into the door!"

A slightly black and humorous banner, but it can't express the bitterness of the fans of the Chinese team.
