After participating in the expedition ceremony, the Chinese team took a direct flight from Guangzhou to Sydney, Australia.

When they arrived at Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport, they were also greeted by a fan group composed of local Chinese and overseas Chinese, as well as representatives of international students and employees of Chinese companies.

They gathered together, waved five-star red flags, and sang "Singing the Motherland". This scene attracted foreign media to point their cameras at them.

This scene is even rarer for the Chinese team players.

From the domestic red carpet to the Sydney International Airport to welcome the phalanx, every scene is impacting the hearts of the Chinese team players.

On the one hand, they realized that the image of Chinese football was being improved, on the other hand, they also felt the burden on their shoulders was heavier.

The image of Chinese football is indeed gradually improving, which started after Gao Zheng joined the national team.

The previous Chinese football was basically of the same grade as the "Mouse Crossing the Street", and it was a type of shouting for everyone.

The Internet is also full of various ridicules and attacks on Chinese football.

For example, a certain man secretly watched the Chinese team's game at home, because his family, who was afraid of being broken into the door, discovered that he was lying about watching Japan*****.

Another example is what Messi came to China to participate in the Olympic football game. After going back, he learned a very Chinese cheering slogan and taught it to his teammates in Barcelona. The cheer slogan is: "Xie Yalong get out of class!"

For another example, such paragraphs as "Tan Leg Successor Tan Wangsong" and "Zheng Zhihua" are endless.

Chinese football seems to be a toilet that everyone can come to scold, vent their emotions, and then lift up their belts and turn around to leave the toilet. No one cares whether Chinese football is good or bad, and they don’t care about the roots behind the reason for the scolding. People care how Chinese football develops. Scolding Chinese football seems to become a very "politically correct" thing in China.

Some people joked that the "Chinese Football Association" is the only organization you don't need to bear any responsibility or risk after scolding.

Of course, Chinese football is scolded like this, and it is indeed not a problem for ordinary people, but Chinese football is really bad. Bad team performance, frequent player scandals, heavy shady leadership officials...why shouldn’t they be scolded?

Before the Chinese team's home games were basically put into the second and third tier cities, for example, Gao Zheng once felt that Ma Anshan came to play after returning to China.

Why is that?

It is because the image of Chinese football has collapsed and its reputation has stinked that nobody wants to watch the Chinese team's game. If it is still placed in the first-tier big cities, afraid of kicking a game and losing one, who would like to make such a loss trade?

Therefore, the home team of the Chinese team can only be like a village of the Caotai opera team, one shot for another place, looking for second and third-tier cities, using the freshness of no one who has seen the Chinese team game there to attract local cities to host the national team. Events.

And after playing a game, you have to go, never stay too much. Because after a game, the feeling of freshness is over, even if you want to stay and play again, the local government is probably not willing to stay, and it feels a waste of money and energy, and it is not easy to please.

At the beginning, Hefei hosted the game between the Chinese team and the Thai team. As a result, the Chinese team lost to Thailand 1:5, which also damaged the image of the city of Hefei. At the same time, the anger of the fans after the game also made the Hefei police suffer. Language.

Therefore, the dazzling Chinese national team, representing the highest level of Chinese football, has no place in China.

Who can blame?

Of course they can only blame themselves for their poor grades and poor image.

This situation gradually improved after Gao Zheng joined the national team.

For example, the last warm-up match was originally planned to be held in Chenzhou, a city below Hunan. This is not a warm-up match, because the opponent is too weak.

But because it was heard that Gao Zheng was definitely going to participate in this game, Hunan Provincial Changsha Shengsheng snatched the hosting right from Chenzhou-how could this have happened to the Chinese national team before? The former national team was a **** of plague, and everyone was afraid to avoid it. And now the national team has gradually turned into sweet and sour.

It is completely conceivable that if the Chinese team performs well in the Asian Cup, then in the various warm-up matches of the national team, as well as the 2018 Russia World Cup Asian regional qualifiers, China’s first-tier cities may have to break their heads to compete for the right to host .

At the Sydney International Airport, Gao Zheng became the focus of the media chase. He was surrounded by Chinese and foreign journalists, and he could not move forward. The other teammates of the national team, when he walked past him, no one paid attention. Only a few Chinese domestic media interviewed them without being able to get close to Gao Zheng.

As the number one star of the Chinese team and the most famous and expensive player in the Asian Cup, he enjoys such treatment is normal, and other internationals do not feel that there should be anything wrong.

And it can be expected that during the entire Asian Cup, as long as the Chinese team remains in the Asian Cup, Gao Zheng will always enjoy the treatment of such stars.

You should know that the AFC promotional poster posted on the official website of the AFC, Gao Zheng, is standing in the C position, with one standing in the middle and the front.

In addition, in the Asian Cup promo video produced by AFC, Gao Zheng is also the longest time out of the country and the most shot player.

In second place is South Korea's leading star, currently playing for Leverkusen striker Sun Xingming.

The competition and contest between the two of them is also a highlight of this Asian Cup.

Although there are superstars like Gao Zheng, foreign media are not very optimistic about the prospects of the Chinese team in the Asian Cup this season. Both have superstars, but the Chinese team and the South Korean team are in a completely different situation. Apart from the two star players, the strength of the other team, the South Korean team is stronger than the Chinese team, this is the decisive factor.

The AFC actually said that the goal of the Chinese team is to impact the championship, but none of the foreign media took the AFC seriously. After all, they even mismatched the picture in this article-while they said that the Chinese team won the championship, they were equipped with a starting photo of the Chinese team losing to Iraq 1:3. There were as many as seven people who were not selected at all. The list of twenty-three of the Asian Cup...

From the winning odds given by the bookmakers, you can know a few:

Australia, Japan, South Korea and Iran are the four most favored teams.

The Chinese team's odds of winning are only seventh.

The reporters will not ask the question of whether Gao Zheng can win the championship, because this kind of question is too stupid, they are more concerned about the group stage game.

After all, the Chinese team can be regarded as the death group this time-they are in a group with the fourth Asian Uzbekistan, the traditional strong team Saudi Arabia, and the tenacious North Korea team, no matter which opponent is not good to eat. bone. Even with Gao Zheng's blessing, in terms of the overall strength of the Chinese team, there is always some worry.

After all, the Chinese team had two consecutive Asian Cups before, and there was no group qualifying. Their last group qualifying was the Asian Cup held in 2004 at their doorstep.

Faced with this question from reporters, Gao Zheng answered very simply: "Our goal is to return to Brisbane."

The first two group matches of the Chinese team were played in Brisbane, and the third group match against North Korea will be moved to Canberra. If the Chinese team can qualify for the group, then it will face the problem of where to play the knockout.

If the group is second, they don't have to change places and play in the quarterfinals in Canberra.

Only the first team will need to return to Brisbane.

The Chinese team is going to take the first place in the death team!
