Chapter 109: The First Launch
In the internal roster of the Chinese team, in addition to He Ying, there are Yang Muge who played as a substitute against the Japanese team but performed well, and Guo Nu who didn't even get a substitute in the last ten games.√ In the last game, veteran Li Fengwei, who made a mistake, did not even appear in the training roster in this game.
Obviously he no longer meets the requirements of the Chinese team.
But if he won him directly before the game, he would probably not convince the public and would also attract a lot of criticism to Gao Hongbo. However, after that game, when he wanted to win Li Fengwei, the resistance he encountered was much smaller.
Gao Hongbo took advantage of this opportunity to quietly promote his updates.
The methods are no longer tough and direct, but the results are better. This may be the experience and teaching he learned when he "going to Maicheng" in Changchun.
There is no controversy about the appearance of Yang Muge and Guo Nu. Both of them performed very well in the league that just ended and were in good condition. If you still worry about boring excuses such as "Will too many newcomers in one breath cause internal turmoil in the team?", that would be really a traitor.
Sun Pan will also play in this game.
Although this is his first national team game, no one will question him not worthy of it. This is a crush and advantage in absolute strength.
It's the same as Zhou Yi played in the national team show.

After the last meeting before the race, everyone returned to their rooms to wash and sleep.
Lying on the bed in the room, He Ying tossed and turned.
Zhou Yi, who heard the movement, asked him: "Do you feel nervous and can't sleep?"
"I'm worried that my performance tomorrow is not worthy of treatment..." He Ying turned her head and looked at Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi smiled: "He Ying, why do you think you can?"
"I have no idea."
"Of course it's because you performed well in training and team games during the training camp! Otherwise, why do you think the high coach asks you to continue? If you have a son, why do he protect you so much? Of course it's because you performed well! So there's nothing to worry about. If you can say that you are qualified and capable, you can perform well on the court. And if the east side is not bright, the west side is bright, maybe you will get more opportunities in Barcelona after you perform well in the national team?"
After saying that, Zhou Yi yawned and finally told He Ying not to think too much, and then he went to bed. He also wanted to have a fight with Australia in the virtual air in advance.

The game day finally arrived. From the morning, every Chinese fan, whether at work or at school, was a little absent-minded.
Australia is not the strongest team in this group, Japan is the strongest. This game is not a decision to determine whether it can qualify for the final battle of the World Cup, but it still attracted a lot of attention.
Because even without the above two points, the important attributes of this game cannot be changed.
If the Chinese team can defeat Australia at home, then after four top ten games, the Chinese team will surpass the Japanese team with three wins and one draw, becoming the first in the group. The Japanese team has no matches this round of matches and they will be bye.
This is a very memorable thing since the top ten matches in 2OO1, and many people will think this is a good sign.
But if the Chinese team loses to Australia at home, then if the number of games is exactly the same as that of the Japanese team, they will still be one point behind the Japanese team.
A draw is just a tie to the Japanese team.
Although you can directly advance to the World Cup finals by winning the top two in the group stage, wouldn’t it be safer if you can get the first place?
Before the game, everyone was still speculating whether He Ying would be taken out in this game and sit on the bench.
He Ying’s fans on Weibo are fighting with others everywhere, and they are fussy.
Media reporters have inquired from many sources, hoping to be the first to leak information before the list is released, grab headlines and attract attention.
However, they worked hard for a long time but still got nothing, so they could only wait for the official list announced two hours before the game.
When the Chinese team had just arrived at the Zhuque Stadium in Xi'an, the list was finally released and met everyone.
After everyone saw the list, they immediately looked for the name "He Ying" on it.
They were found soon.
He Ying still appeared on the list!
This result caused a stir online as soon as it came out. Many netizens criticized Gao Hongbo for his stubborn opinion, and some fans ridiculed He Ying as if he was Gao Hongbo's godson, otherwise why would he give him a chance? Some also swear to say that if the Chinese team eventually loses the opportunity to enter Brazil, then Gao Hongbo's partial belief in He Ying is definitely the most important reason. Some people also called on fans at Xi'an to put pressure on Gao Hongbo by collectively shouting "change He Ying" to avoid him going to the wrong direction.
"...I can see that He Ying is in a bad state, so how can Gao Hongbo not see it? Human relationships and worldly styles, haha, this is where our country's local coaches are not as good as foreign coaches. No matter how high the professional level is, they cannot escape the circle of human relationships and worldly styles..."
"Actually, Gao Hongbo is a very stubborn person, so this is in line with his personality. But what I want to say is that success and failure are both stubborn. Stubborn is not a good personality..."
...
There are many keyboard masters on Weibo who have the level of head coaching in the Chinese national team and have expressed their opinions and criticized Gao Hongbo for his troops.
He Ying was sentenced to the country, inspired the words, and scolded him in his heart.
The pillar of shame had already stood up. They held big iron nails and hammers in their hands, and waited for the end of the game to nail He Ying.

At 7:30 p.m. on October 16th, Beijing time, at the Xi'an Zhuque Stadium, the referee Hassan from West Asia blew a whistle and blew the whistle at the beginning of the game. The noise before the game was all gone in front of the whistle. Of course, it was temporary. I am afraid that those people were lying in front of the TV screen with magnifying glasses, and would never let go of He Ying's every move.
After the game started, Australia, which was playing away, did not retreat to its 30-meter area, waiting for the Chinese team to attack, but was a bit beyond everyone's expectations.
Many people thought before the game that Australia might adopt a defensive counterattack style, after all, this is their away game.
Zhou Yi became the target of Australia's key defense.
Everyone soon discovered that no matter where Zhou Yi appeared in the midfield, as soon as he got the ball, four players wearing Australian jerseys would appear beside him. They were between three to five meters away from Zhou Yi, neither far nor close, and surrounded Zhou Yi directly in the middle, cutting off his contact with other Chinese players.
The four people's stands are very obvious, obviously like Orion in the night sky. As long as the weather is good, you can see it when you look up.
And they not only divide the space around Zhou Yi in this way, but Australian head coach Osijek must have seen Dortmund's away Champions League match against Manchester City.
Australian players are very good at fighting against Zhou Yi. Australian players are originally very strong and have the advantage of their bodies. When they want to take advantage of their bodies, it is even more difficult to deal with.
Moreover, it is no secret that Zhou Yi was injured in the game against Manchester City, so Australian players can make Zhou Yi retreat when they move more, making him involuntarily choose to avoid it, thus losing possession.
As long as Zhou Yi can't play, it will be limiting the entire Chinese team.
As long as Zhou Yi is restricted, Australia will not be too busy to take three-pointers away from the Chinese team's home court.
In fact, during the game, Zhou Yi did not play very smoothly due to Australia's various measures against Zhou Yi.
He was overturned twice in seven minutes of the game, the second time was kicked over by Australian striker Sirosco.
Referee Hassan showed Sirosko a yellow card.
And what sounded from the entire Zhuque Stadium was not a boo, but a uniform sound: "Your mother!!"
Chapter completed!
