1239th Pay and Return
When the whistle sounded for the end of the game, the Sydney Olympic Park Stadium was filled with gloom and gloom.
The players on the Australian field can't hold their heads up!
The local fans in the stands wanted to curse even more!
Graham Arnold, faceless, turned and walked towards the players' tunnel in disgrace.
Situ Yunbing walked towards the player tunnel one step ahead of him.
He has no interest in shaking hands with the Australian coach after the game anyway.
When he passed the mixed area, the reporters rushed up to question Situ Yunbing.
"The Chinese team defeated Australia 5:0. Is this the result you expected before the game?"
"Why has the Chinese team improved so much? Or has Australia become weaker?"
Situ Yunbing ignored everyone and went back to the locker room, while the reporters turned to find Graham Arnold.
"Australia suffered a humiliating defeat at home to the Chinese team. Will you take the blame and resign?"
"Can such an Australia still have hope for the 2022 World Cup?"
"Is the reason why Australia lost the game is to underestimate the enemy?"
Graham-Arnold, devastated and embarrassed, stopped because he was surrounded.
No reporter dared to block Situ Yunbing's way, but that doesn't mean these reporters would let Graham Arnold go.
Any behavior that offends Situ Yunbing has already been used as a lesson in European football. He can unilaterally block some media regardless of the consequences!
Blocking his way today makes him unhappy, then he won't even be able to get an interview pass in the future!
Graham Arnold is not treated so well, and now his despondency and helplessness happen to be exactly what the media needs!
Everyone can imagine what the media headlines will be tomorrow, disaster, disgrace, resignation!
The Australian media insinuated that the arrival of the Chinese team was a virus attack, but they did not expect that the Chinese team came to Sydney, which indeed brought a near-destructive blow to Australian football!
This is Australia's most humiliating defeat at home since joining the AFC!
none of them!
made in China!
Enough to make a sensation in Asia!
The Chinese media has countless reasons to publicize and show off this victory!
Other countries in Asia took a solemn stance after learning that the Chinese team slaughtered Australia 5-0 in an away game.
The Japanese media issued a reminder: It is necessary to learn from the development of the Chinese team!
South Korean media said: South Korea must be vigilant against China!
It seems that South Korea believes that they are the strongest in Asia, not China, and now China's rise is to challenge their position as the boss!
Leading the team back to China, the Chinese team stayed at the Xianghe National Football Training Base to rest. Four days later, they will meet the challenge from Saudi Arabia at home in Beijing.
Regarding Situ Yunbing's absence from the two press conferences against Australia, the AFC issued a warning to Situ Yunbing, but it was limited to warnings.
The AFC doesn't want to offend Situ Yunbing. After all, Situ Yunbing himself has won a lot of glory for Asian football. Not to mention his own fame, he went to play in the Copa America, which overturned the old nest of South American football!
The AFC has never thought about returning with the Copa America trophy, and it still feels like a dream in retrospect.
At the press conference before the match against Saudi Arabia, Situ Yunbing attended as usual. When a reporter asked him what he thought of the progress of Chinese football, Situ Yunbing shook his head and said: "Correct me, I don't think this is the progress of Chinese football." , is just the progress of the Chinese national team.
Our overall football foundation is still very weak. To put it simply, if it is a football power, there will be a group of outstanding players every two years. Maybe there will not be a genius who shakes the world, but at least there will be There is a certain quality.
But I have been coaching the Chinese national team for three years. In these three years, I have not seen how many outstanding players from the new generation, so our progress is not obvious. For the world's top teams, the real competition is the number of talents!
The once brilliant Brazil team and Argentina team had their stars competing for a position. Even many well-known stars could only play as substitutes in the national team in the same year. In turn, you can understand why the Brazil and Argentina teams became weaker.
The last World Cup champion France team was taken as an example. When they had a poor record, the number of stars in the team was obviously small, or the gold content of the stars was not high, but when they had more stars, their performance also changed. Get better.
If you want to say that the Chinese team has improved, I agree with this.
But we should realize that the current development model of the Chinese team is actually similar to that of many African countries.
Basically, African countries do not have a good football soil. They send players to Europe from a young age, let the players grow up in Europe, and then play for the national team after the players grow up and have strength.
Now the progress of the Chinese team is precisely because most of our players are playing in European football!
If our youth training and our professional league can keep up and improve the quality, I believe that there will be progress in Chinese football in the future!
If we do nothing now, our lifeline will be weak, just like I am now worried that if Wu Lei retires, the Chinese national team will not have a center forward. "
Regarding how to view the Chinese team massacring Australia in the last game, this should have been a question that Situ Yunbing should have answered in an interview a few days ago.
Situ Yunbing said lightly: "I think that is a reasonable result. What I can see is that Australia has not made much progress in the past two years. In fact, this is a very simple matter. If you don't work hard, the world will not wait." you.
I am not saying this because the Chinese team won the game or because I am the coach of the Chinese national team.
In the nearly three years since I took office, the players of the national team have really performed very well. They focus on football and complete the club training well while also earnestly doing extra training. I can see their dedication. So they are winning now, we have won the Asia Cup, we have won the Copa America, now we are going to win tickets to the 2022 World Cup, if someone makes a fuss about this and looks at the Chinese team with a kind of wonder, then it only proves that they are not I don't know what these players paid for!
I think European clubs are more aware of this, otherwise they would not pay high transfer fees and expensive annual salaries for Chinese players. "
What Situ Yunbing said was indeed upright, even though the progress of the team is inseparable from the role of his cards, the cards he has accumulated for six years since Liverpool have almost run out today!
In exchange for a team that he thinks can try to perform on the world stage!
Is it a pity?
No!
so worth it!
Especially seeing these Chinese players take off in European football!
Filled him with pride.
The reporters nodded frequently, especially the Chinese reporters. In the past two years, the fans basically stopped making fun of the Chinese team. The reason lies in the performance of the team, and the dedication of those players is obvious to all. Just by taking off their jerseys After that, the muscles with clear lines and explosive power can explain everything!
Looking forward to tomorrow night's game, Situ Yunbing said solemnly: "Every game of the top 12 cannot be taken lightly. If the Chinese team wants to secure the tickets for the World Cup, then we must strive to win every game!
I know Saudi Arabia is not an easy opponent, but I have confidence in the team! "
He made it clear that he wanted to win the game!
After a rest, the national football team ushered in the second round of the Asian Top 12 World Preliminaries in good spirits.
In the Beijing Workers' Stadium, when the players walked into the stadium, it was really shocking!
The audience is packed!
The five-star red flag is flying in the stands!
Men, women and children are all wearing the red home jersey of the Chinese team!
Many fans even painted the Chinese flag on their faces!
Regardless of whether it was fans holding up placards or waving flags, they repeatedly chanted the same sentence in unison.
"Team China! Keep going!"
"Team China! Keep going!"
A banner on the stand is particularly eye-catching, and a line of Chinese characters flying around is presented to the world.
If you go all out, I will never leave!
This is the rare frenzied atmosphere of the Chinese team's home games, and it can be called the peak of the atmosphere in the past two decades!
The last time there was such a grand event was when the Chinese team entered the World Cup for the first time!
And now it's even worse!
Situ Yunbing in a suit and leather shoes walked to the sidelines with one hand in his pocket, and deafening cheers resounded from the scene again!
Situ Yunbing looked in the direction of the VIP seats of the stadium. Sigrid, who had her blond hair coiled up and made a pleasing look, was also wearing a Chinese jersey. She brought three children who were also wearing Chinese jerseys in the stands. Waving your arms.
Situ Yi and Situ Jin sat on both sides of Sigrid, one on the left and one on the right, while Situ Wan sat in her mother's arms. She still felt a little strange about the surrounding scene, and looked back and forth curiously with her big innocent eyes.
Situ Yunbing looked up at Sigrid tenderly, raised his hand and kissed the ring on his finger, then turned around and suddenly became serious, he walked to the coach command area and waited for the start of the game.
The Chinese team also played a warm-up match with Saudi Arabia two years ago, but at that time they were tied with their opponents and there was not much substantive content.
Although Saudi Arabia is a traditional strong team in Asia, its status in Asian football has declined in the past ten years or so.
The reason is simple. Saudi Arabia missed the two World Cups in 2010 and 2014, and they failed to qualify for the group stage in the previous World Cup for three consecutive times.
In contrast, Japan and South Korea have performed better in the World Cup one after another. As for the Saudi team's ability to advance to the main match in the 2018 World Cup, Situ Yunbing believes that this is directly related to the conservative coach Van Marwijk. According to the background of the Saudi team, if they play more conservatively, then there may not be many teams in Asia who dare to say that they can beat Saudi Arabia!
But it happened that Van Marwijk was fired after the Saudi team advanced to the World Cup. This also directly led to the Saudi team's two-game losing streak in the first two rounds of the World Cup in Russia and directly announced their return home.
In the 2019 Asian Cup, the Saudi team was eliminated by the Japanese team in the 1/8 finals in the knockout round. It can be said that the Saudi team was beaten back to its original shape.
