Several cars parked in the open space on the roadside, and a dozen people got out of them. They looked around.

“It’s not easy to come to a university town just to watch a game...”

"Who knew that KTV would be renovated at this time..."

“Could it be...that some content has been checked?”

“Team Yan is hiding his secrets!”

 Everyone started to cheer.

Yan Yan waved his hand: "Climb, climb, climb! It's just a normal decoration, don't think about it! Let's go, I'll take you to my old stronghold!"

 After saying that, he opened the way ahead and led everyone from the Jincheng branch of the Dongchuan Middle School football team to a bar ahead.

“You’re here at this time, are there no seats available?” Chu Yifan turned to look at the bars and restaurants along the street. All of them were crowded with people.

“Don’t worry Captain Chu, I said hello in advance. Our little face is still useful!”

While speaking, Yan Yan had already reached the door of the bar. He stretched out his hand to push the door open and saw that it was indeed relatively empty inside.

Someone was busy behind the bar. When he heard the noise, he raised his head and saw it was Yan Yan. He smiled and said, "Oh, he's here? If you don't come, you won't be able to keep your seat!"

“Thank you, boss, thank you, boss.” Yan Yan thanked him, stepped aside, and waved to his companions behind him to come in.

 “Everyone finds a seat by himself, any space is available!”

Everyone came in and saw this scene, and they were very happy: "Team Yan is awesome!"

 At the critical moment of the Sino-Japanese war, it was indeed not easy to find such a place to watch football.

Yan Yan waved his hand, then walked to the next table and smiled at someone there: "Uncle, I guess you are here!"

 The middle-aged man gave a big smile: "Hey, so few visitors! Why do you want to come back today?"

“Aren’t you going to take everyone to watch the football?” Yan Yan pointed at Chu Yifan next to him.

Chu Yifan also greeted the other party: "Hello, uncle!"

"Okay, okay." The uncle nodded, then pointed to the empty seat next to him: "Sit down."

They have known each other for a long time. When Flash Star returned to the Chinese Super League, they went to watch the first game together at the Provincial Sports Center.

Then the uncle made a gesture to the boss behind the bar, and soon a dozen beers were placed on their table.

“Open it and drink. As long as the Chinese team can beat Japan today, I’ll buy your wine.” The uncle said as he opened the wine and handed it to Yan Yan and the others.

Yan Yan and Chu Yifan looked at each other, and then Yan Yan felt a little embarrassed: "Uncle, I really have no intention of drinking from you..."

“Hey, are you assuming that the Chinese team will win?” The uncle heard the voice-over.

Yan Yan himself only realized it at this time. He waved his hands quickly: "No, no... I don't even think about winning or losing."

The uncle smiled when he heard this: "Are you feeling particularly conflicted now?"

"ah?"

“If the Chinese team beats the Japanese team, Dong Jianhai might become a hero, and the probability of being dismissed from get out of class will plummet.”

Yan Yan and Chu Yifan looked at each other and didn't answer for a while.

They have also discussed this issue. After all, the hot topic among Chinese fans during this period is Dong Jianhai's coaching position.

Before the last group match, the Internet went viral about the "details of the contract signed between Dong Jianhai and the Football Association", saying that it contained clauses:

 Both parties will decide whether to renew Dong Jianhai's contract based on his performance in leading the team to the Asian Cup. If he fails to lead the team to the knockout stage, the contract will not be renewed.

 Everyone knows the first half of this clause, and it is not a secret. Because the public news is that Dong Jianhai’s contract with the Football Association is until the Asian Cup.

 The second half is “secret”.

After all, the Football Association has not publicly stated its position on what happened to Dong Jianhai if the Chinese team was eliminated from the group...

  But in the eyes of the majority of Chinese fans, if such a powerful Chinese team cannot even advance out of the group stage, it would be a disaster. Therefore, they all believe that whether the group stage appears or not is the key to determining Dong Jianhai's fate.

Therefore, when this rumor about the details of the contract between Dong Jianhai and the Football Association appeared on the Internet, everyone believed it so easily, because they really hoped that this was the true content of the contract...

 As a result, the Chinese team qualified from the group stage!

 But even if the Chinese team qualified from the group, fans still did not recognize this "national football coach".

 So they don’t hope that the Football Association will really renew Dong Jianhai’s contract.

After looking at Yan Yan, Chu Yifan finally said: "We don't know what others think, uncle. But we feel that the game against the Japanese team is different from other games. Regardless of whether Dong Jianhai can continue to coach, we don't want to

The Chinese team lost to Japan.”

The uncle looked at Chu Yifan with special eyes and gave a thumbs up: "You understand!"

  ※※※

 Matt Dawn noticed Tony Clark checking his watch several times.

 He asked with some curiosity: "Are you okay, Tony? It's still early before our afternoon training session."

  Clark shook his head: "No, I'm counting the time in Doha."

 “Doha?” Matt was stunned for a moment, then he realized, “Oh, Asian Cup.”

“Yes, the match between the Chinese team and the Japanese team is the key to whether we can successfully stay in the Premier League this season!”

 “Is that an exaggeration, Tony?” said Matt Dawn.

 He is also paying attention to the Asian Cup. It is obvious that the Chinese team in this Asian Cup is not in good condition and the personnel is not well-organized.

 The most important thing is that their head coach is of limited quality and cannot give full play to the full strength of this Chinese team.

 Now facing the stronger Japanese team, it is really difficult to win.

 So the Chinese team’s journey in this Asian Cup ends here.

 This is definitely good news for Leeds City.

 Leeds City's performance in the league during this period was ups and downs, and they even lost three games in a row.

 The worst league ranking ever was when we fell to twelfth place.

 Fortunately, in the 22nd round of the league yesterday, Leeds City defeated Sydenham 2:0 at home, stopping the downward trend and returning to tenth in the league rankings.

However, at this point in the league, Leeds City, which only has 33 points, is 23 points behind Manchester United, which is first in the league. It is almost impossible to defend the championship.

  It is also eight points away from Tramed, who is fourth in the league, and it is also very difficult to qualify for the Champions League next season.

Even if they want to qualify for the Europa League among the top six in the league, there is still a seven-point gap.

 But no matter what, there is no problem in relegation.

Clark laughed dryly: "Just kidding. But I really hope that Hu can come back soon. After all, he still needs to rest and adjust to the jet lag and condition after he comes back. The sooner he can come back, the more time he will have to rest and adjust."

“So you want the Chinese team to lose to the Japanese team?”

“It’s not something I hope for, Matt. It’s that they will definitely lose to the Japanese team.”

 Matt Dawn was speechless after hearing this, unable to refute.

  ※※※

“Someone said we will definitely lose to the Japanese team?”

Yao Huasheng asked this rhetorical question to his teammates.

 In the locker room, there are still ten minutes left before the start of the game.

Head coach Dong Jianhai has already explained everything he needs to explain and is not in the locker room at this time. Only the players of the Chinese team are left.

Their captain Yao Huasheng is encouraging everyone.

Wang Guangwei's eyes fell on Yao Dui's swaying right shoulder. There was still a bulge in that place, but looking at the way he moved freely, it seemed...it really had no impact?

 This is truly a medical miracle...

“They brought up a lot of data and our respective performances in the past few games as evidence. But if you ask me, they are fucking farting!”

When Yao Huasheng said this, he waved his right hand vigorously and fanned himself, as if to drive away the smelly fart from in front of him.

his action gave the team members a lot of confidence. It seems that Captain Yao's right shoulder is not serious!

What they didn’t know was that Yao Huasheng secretly asked the team doctor to give him a closed analgesic injection before the game and asked not to tell anyone.

"If football matches can be determined by statistics and past performance, then why should we go on the field to play? If we only look at paper strength, we should have lost all three games in the World Cup. So.

Don't worry about what's there and what's not. Our opponent is the Japanese team!"

 At this point, he paused for a moment.

  Why should we emphasize that the opponent is the Japanese team? Because this opponent has special significance.

“Twenty-three years ago in the final, I was only eleven years old and was the caddy for that match.”

 Teammates looked at their captain.

This is not news. It can even be said that everyone knows that during the 2004 Asian Cup in China, 11-year-old Yao Huasheng appeared as a caddy in Asia's top competition.

 Later, in the words of some marketing accounts and self-media, this past incident was regarded as a "good story".
