Chapter 262 God’s Revelation?

Amid lively discussions and longing, match day arrived. Δ　　　ＥNovelＷｗ『W． ㄟ1XIAOSHUO． COM

This game kicks off at 9pm Beijing time. Before this game, there is another game where the Japanese team plays Australia at home.

That game is also of great concern to everyone.

If Australia beats the Japanese team away from home, they will jump to third place in the group with six points and push Oman over. This will put more pressure on Oman, and at the same time, they will work harder at home to defeat the Chinese team. Do you know what else is wrong?

However, if Australia defeats the Japanese team, then as long as the Chinese team can defeat Oman, it can regain the top spot in the group, which is a good thing.

If Japan defeats Australia, they will qualify two rounds early. I don’t know if this is a good thing or a bad thing for the Chinese team - will the Japanese team that qualified early be less desperate in the next game against the Chinese team?

But it's hard to say. Although they qualified early, the Japanese team probably won't be willing to lose to the Chinese team and let the Chinese team finally win the first place in the group, right?

The game kicks off at 6:30 pm Beijing time.

There was also a live broadcast in China.

Opponent games are also worthy of attention.

In the end, the two teams did not decide a winner, but tied 1:1.

This result makes Chinese fans very happy.

The Japanese team did not widen the points gap with the Chinese team.

If the Chinese team can defeat Oman in the away game, it will not only qualify early, but also become the first in the group again.

Although both the first and second place in the group can qualify for the World Cup, the competitor is the Japanese team, so the Chinese hope that their national team can defeat Japan and advance to the World Cup finals as the first in the group.

Not long after the match between the Japanese team and Australia ended, the Chinese team's away match against Oman was about to kick off.

This game that starts at nine o'clock Beijing time is simply "prime time" in terms of broadcast time, better than the one that started at six-thirty.

Because many people may not have gone home yet at 6:30 - today is not a rest day, but Tuesday, a working day. If the kickoff is at 6:30, many people are still on their way home from get off work, right? May be seen.

But it’s good to put it at 9:30. Everyone has gone home and dinner has been eaten. It’s a good time to sit in front of the TV and watch the game.

But for the players of the Chinese team, this is not a good arrangement.

Muscat in Oman is in the East 4th District, while Beijing is in the East 8th District. It is 9 pm in Beijing time and 5 pm in Muscat. The heat of the day has not dissipated and the temperature remains high. You must know that Muscat, as a Middle Eastern city, is very hot every summer.

The average temperature here in June is between 30 and 40 degrees.

Generally speaking, if the Chinese team has a game to play in the Middle East, it will basically be broadcast in the early morning in China. At that time, it is often evening local time and the climate is slightly cooler.

But Muscat arranged the game at 5pm. You can imagine what they wanted to do. This can be regarded as a manifestation of maximizing the "home advantage".

The hot and dry climate is one of Oman’s “home advantage”.

If the temperature hadn't been too high at noon, I guess they would have dared to schedule the game at two or three o'clock in the afternoon. The Chinese team players might have been sunburned after running for a few minutes... How could they still have fighting ability?

But even the game that kicks off at five o'clock is still a severe test for the Chinese team players.

Before the game started, He Ping, who went to the front to commentate on the game, kept wiping his sweat with a tissue in the commentary box, and then introduced the temperature here to the audience in front of the TV: "I am sitting in the commentary box, with the top of my head There was an awning on top, and I felt the heat was unbearable, and I was sweating constantly. I really don’t know how the players will feel when they play in such hot weather..."

At five o'clock, the sun was still very high, shining on the court, making the green turf white.

But such hot weather still cannot resist the enthusiasm of Chinese fans. Although it was a distant away game, there were still more than a thousand Chinese fans who came to watch the game. In addition to employees of Chinese-funded institutions in Oman and nearby Middle Eastern countries, there were also fans who came all the way from China.

They all hope to witness the historic moment when the Chinese team reaches the World Cup finals for the second time.

Except for these thousand Chinese fans, they are all Omani fans. There are many men wearing traditional Arab costumes in the stands, and only a handful of female fans.

This is a country with strong religious traditions.

The Chinese fans in the stands were placed in the worst stands - facing the sun, exposed to the scorching sun without any obstruction.

This is of course one of Oman’s “home advantage”.

Before the game even started, many Chinese fans were already feeling listless. They used whatever they could to shield their eyes and put clothes over their heads to prevent sunburn. At this time, they all understood why the Arabs in the desert wore headscarves in their traditional clothing. It was to prevent sunburn...

Someone was discussing in a low voice: "What the weather, the weather forecast says the highest temperature today is 43 degrees!"

"Yes, I checked on the Internet, and it seems that there are rarely such hot weather in early June..."

"It's really bad luck that we encountered this. I hope the national team will not be affected in any way..."

"How can it not be affected? I now feel that our national team will be satisfied if we can draw in the away game. When we return to the home court, we can use the little Japanese to sacrifice the flag and step on the corpse of the little Japanese to qualify! The most important thing is Don't let any players get injured in this game..."

The Internet is also hotly discussing the time and temperature of this game.

It is well known that high temperature is not conducive to outdoor sports, and the players of the Chinese team are not known for their good physical fitness. In addition, the returnees are very tired due to the guarantee of combat effectiveness. How much strength can they show in this kind of weather? It’s also an unknown...

Many people suddenly became pessimistic, thinking that if the Chinese team could draw with Oman in this game, it would be a narrow escape.

※※※

Fans of the Chinese team are worried about the fate of the national team.

But in the locker room, the players of the Chinese team were relatively calm, although today's temperature was indeed a bit beyond their imagination. But after all, they have been training in Oman for ten days, and they have become somewhat accustomed to the temperature here. If you don't adapt and just come here to compete, you may be overwhelmed by this problem.

Gao Hongbo took off his suit jacket, revealing the shirt underneath. The back and armpits of the shirt were wet with sweat. You must know that he just stood outside for a while while the players were warming up...

The players also changed out of the clothes they wore when they went out to warm up. Some players simply did not rush to put on their clothes, exposing their upper bodies and letting the sweat flow on their bodies, which would be more comfortable.

Gao Hongbo is giving final instructions to the players.

"Today's temperature is higher than usual, so everyone should pay attention to allocating physical energy reasonably during the game. Don't rush in and hit hard, and then run out of energy. Remember, the game is ninety minutes, not nineteen. Minutes. Think about it all.”

During the warm-up, many players could already predict how difficult today's game would be - those who went out to warm up were almost knocked to the ground by the rolling heat wave, and the temperature gave them a disincentive.

Not everyone feels exhausted after finishing their warm-up...

This game is going to be really difficult.

At the same time, in the locker room of the Oman team, their head coach Legane was encouraging his players: "I heard that high temperatures like today are extremely rare in the country. What does this mean? It means that God is favoring us. ! This is a perfect opportunity for us to beat them at home - if such weather is rare even for us, wouldn't it be even more uncomfortable for the Chinese team? And their returnees are still very tired! So don't be afraid Them! What about the European champions? This is not the Champions League, but the World Cup qualifiers! This is not Germany with a pleasant climate, but in Muscat, at our home court!"

Le Guen used powerful words to motivate his players.

The players in Oman were really inspired too.

Today's unexpectedly high temperature is rare, but why did it happen on the day when they were playing against the Chinese team? We have to think that it is the will of Allah. This is a divine revelation, indicating that they can definitely defeat the powerful Chinese team at home!

Thinking of this, Oman's players were very excited.

They are basically devout believers and have the greatest trust in this unexplainable mysterious phenomenon.
