Chapter 49
With the end of the Chinese Super League, the Guangzhou Evergrande team began to transfer to the rhythm of preparing for the second round of the AFC Champions League.
In fact, after the first round, Lippi's training was all for the second round.Even if there are two Chinese Super League games in between.It can be seen that the Guangzhou Evergrande team attaches great importance to this game.
The Chinese team's historic break into the AFC Champions League final also made domestic fans look forward to this game very much.
It can be seen from the ticket sales of Guangzhou Evergrande’s home stadium that one night before the tickets were released at the Tianhe Stadium’s ticket center, there were Guangzhou fans queuing up with quilts. Tianhe Sports Center, ready to fight all night, just for a ticket to the AFC final.
The Guangzhou Evergrande Club started building momentum for the game a week before the game.
On November [-]th, Guangzhou Evergrande officially released the latest AFC Champions League final poster.
It is the tradition of Guangzhou Evergrande to post posters before the game. Over the years, many Chinese Super League teams have followed this trend. Posting pre-match posters before the game has become a unique feature of the Chinese Super League.
The poster released by Guangzhou Evergrande is slightly different from the previous ones. The theme of this poster is "The champion always returns here". If it is just that, there is not much need for discussion.The key point is that the upper half of the poster is the team logos of Evergrande and Seoul, and the lower half uses two mathematical formulas to predict the score of the second round of the final.
If you don't understand these two mathematical formulas, you really don't necessarily know them, but soon some enthusiastic people answered them.
On the left is the famous Ramanujan’s identity, the result is 3, and on the right is Euler’s formula, which is always equal to 0. Therefore, the theme of the poster actually implies that in the second round of the final, Guangzhou Evergrande will use a 3-0 game when they return to home. The big victory won the AFC trophy.
This season, Guangzhou Evergrande can often score more than three goals at home, so many fans Xichen Tianti's 3-0 at home is the "minimum consumption"!
Guangzhou Evergrande is full of confidence, and Seoul FC is not to be outdone.
Despite the poor recent situation in the K-League, they lost to Ulsan Hyundai in the last round, and fell to No.4 in the K-League. The difference between No.1 and No.[-] widened to [-] points.It is basically impossible for Seoul FC to defend the K-League title this season.
And Cui Yongzhu said at the press conference after the game that winning the AFC Champions League is the most important goal of FC Seoul in the 2013 season! With no hope of winning the K-League, FC Seoul put on a desperate posture in the AFC Champions League.
And Cui Yongzhu seemed very confident about winning the championship. The reason he gave was: "The South Korean team has won the AFC Champions League five times, while the Chinese team has never had this honor. In the final match, the Chinese players I will feel nervous. The psychological quality of the Chinese players may be shaken when facing such a final scene. In China, Guangzhou was indeed a good team, but the mental strength of the Chinese players was very poor. We just need to score first, although the strength of Chinese players has indeed improved, but as soon as they lose the ball, there will be a scene of rapid collapse."
And the Korean media naturally praised Seoul FC for a while.Facing the poster released by Guangzhou Evergrande before the game, the South Korean media was obviously very angry, thinking that this was the most naked humiliation of Guangzhou Evergrande.
Korean professional media "inews24" believes that Evergrande's pre-match behavior is too arrogant, and calls this self-confidence "suicide". "inews24" made a sarcasm about Evergrande at the beginning, and the article wrote: "Evergrande seems to have won the final victory and is picking up a glass of wine to celebrate, but the reality is that the second round of the contest between the two sides will be held on November 11. It will be held on the 9st. The game has not yet started, but Evergrande is already immersed in the atmosphere of winning the championship. Evergrande wrote the absurd result of 3:0 on the official website, which is full of provocation. This is their confidence and a sign of their wealth. kind of arrogance..."
And Kim Joo-young, a player of Seoul FC, also expressed his desire when he was interviewed by the media: "In the expedition to Guangzhou, we will never be willing to play a supporting role and do things that are cheaper for others. It is said that Evergrande is already preparing for the championship celebration, but we must Will lift the championship trophy on their home court and make things difficult for them."
From the head coach to the players, Seoul FC is very active and high-profile.In contrast, Lippi, the head coach of Guangzhou Evergrande, has kept a low profile.
Lippi seemed a little low-key when he was interviewed by the media. Evergrande needs some luck to win the championship.But Lippi said that if he wins the AFC Champions League, this feeling should only be inferior to winning the World Cup. It can be seen how much Lippi desires this Asian championship.He warned all Evergrande players not to take it lightly.
But the players of Guangzhou Evergrande are full of confidence!
Konka, the core of the team, said: "A 2-1 score in an away game does not guarantee that we will win the championship, so the whole team must focus on the game. At the moment of the final, we are all very eager for this championship, and we will do our best!"
Captain Zheng Zhi said: "We must put in [-]% of our efforts to keep the championship in Guangzhou and create the history of Chinese football!"
As the game time approached, the atmosphere of the AFC Champions League final in Guangzhou became more and more intense.
The day before the game, fans from all over the country had poured into Guangzhou and set up camp in Guangzhou, waiting for the start of the AFC Champions League final.
People from Nanchang, Xi'an, Zhengzhou, Qingdao, Wuhan......
Fans from almost all parts of the country can be seen coming to Guangzhou. This AFC Champions League final has become a carnival for fans across the country.
Holding banners and waving flags, they passed through the streets and alleys of Guangzhou City.Such a scene has not appeared in China for a long time.At this moment, it seems that the whole city is revolving around a football match.
Li Qingshan brought his parents over from Changsha.The club gave each player a few home tickets to the AFC Champions League final, and Li Qingshan got five. He brought his parents, uncle, aunt, and cousin Gao Tiantian to Guangzhou.
This can be regarded as his most important game this season, and Li Qingshan hopes to share it with his family.
However, he will stay in the hotel arranged by the team three days before the game, so he has not been able to see his family.
In fact, a week before the game, Lippi arranged a closed training session, and all media reporters and fans were not allowed to approach the Guangzhou Evergrande training base.
And three days before the game, all the players stayed in the hotel arranged by the club.
This is also specially arranged by Lippi to isolate the players from the outside world, reduce the impact of external pressure on them, and control the tension within a moderate range.
Of course Lippi knows what his boss cares most about.There is no room for loss in this game, so Lippi's arrangements for this game have covered almost all aspects of the team.
This game, in the atmosphere of a stormy battle, is coming soon! !
