Lippi, China fans, are you ready?

At 8 o'clock tomorrow night, the national football team will challenge Iran, the first team in the Asia 12 World Cup preliminaries. As the highest ranked Asian team in FIFA, Iran's ranking (No.33) is much higher than that of the national football team (No.86), and the current group ranking of 12 also reflects the strength gap between the two sides.

However, 1:0 defeated South Korea, which not only kept the hope of the national football team qualifying, but also improved the morale of the national football team and filled the fans with hope. However, the national football team has lost five games away from home before, and even South Korea has not won at the world-famous devil's home-Azadi Stadium in Tehran. In order to take away the score, the national football team has to overcome many objective factors in addition to subjective efforts.

It's rainy and sunny first, and the national football team should guard against colds.

After the national football team arrived in Tehran on the 25th, it found that it began to snow here. Li Tie, assistant coach of the national football team, uploaded a video of snow in Tehran as soon as he got off the plane, jokingly saying, "It snowed in Tehran, which is quite big, as if it had arrived in Shenyang in winter."

Although netizens interpret it as a good omen such as "sending charcoal in the snow", the sudden drop in temperature still makes the national football coaching staff a little nervous.

Before the game against South Korea, three or four players, including Zheng Zhi, Lei Wu and Yu Hai, caught a cold because of the rainy days in Changsha, and Yu Hai even didn't sign up because of a low fever.

The temperature in Tehran is only five or six degrees. After the snow stopped, it began to rain again. The outdoor temperature is only five or six degrees, which is lower than Changsha. Therefore, the national football coaching team specially told the players to thicken their clothes to keep warm and prevent colds. During these two days of training, many players put on gloves to keep out the cold.

According to the weather forecast, it will clear up in Tehran on 26th and 27th, but it will start to rain again on 28th. Such temperature changes also require the national football team to be especially careful not to repeat the mistakes of Changsha.

The training ground is a bit bad, Iran's off-court move?

On the 26th, news about the poor quality of Iranian national football training ground, even worse than domestic courses, attracted the attention of fans on the Internet.

"Is it caused by rain and snow?" "Is it Iran's off-site move?" Many fans have speculated this way.

According to the upstream news-chongqing morning post reporter, first of all, the venue quality has nothing to do with rain and snow. The national football training should have been arranged in the outfield of Azadi Stadium. However, due to the New Year holiday in Iran, the Azadi Sports Center was closed these two days, and the national football team had to move to the Iranian National Football Academy next to the sports center.

After arriving at the Iranian National Football Academy, the national football team found that the quality of the turf here was really poor. There are not only potholes, but also water in some places. Lippi and Zhang Jian, the secretary general of the Football Association who came to visit the class, frowned when they saw this scene. Lippi also specially reminded the international players to avoid injury before training.

However, according to the introduction of the national team, the people in charge of the preparatory work have seen several venues before, and the situation is very unsatisfactory. What I'm training now is still relatively better.

Fortunately, the national football team will only train here twice in these two days. On the 27th, the national football team will enter the infield of Azadi Stadium for step training.

The turf of the stadium is first-class, but the national football team is sad.

Compared with the poor training ground, the turf of Azadi Stadium is very ideal, even better than that of Changsha He Long Stadium, according to the staff of the preliminary investigation of the national football team.

According to Iranian Football Association officials, Azadi's turf is imported from Germany or the Netherlands, which is absolutely first-class in Asia according to the standards of the five major European leagues. After all, it is also the home of two Iranian giants, Persepolis and Estegrar.

Although Azadi Stadium can only accommodate 78 1 16 people, before 2003, it was common for the stadium to flood into 654.38 million fans. In particular,1997165438+1October 22nd 1998 World Cup qualifiers, Iran and Australia even squeezed into 128000 fans, setting a record for the highest number of spectators in a single match in the history of World Cup qualifiers.

This almost horrible watching atmosphere also makes Azadi Stadium rank 15 in the "Top 100 Stadium in the World" selected by British magazine 442, which is higher than Anfield Stadium and stade de france.

However, the stadium impressed China fans the most, or the national football away game 197 top 10. After defeating Iran 2-4 at home in the first round, the national football team lost another game here 1-4. The four fingers erected by Iranian fans in the stands deeply hurt the nerves of China fans at that time.

After a lapse of eight years, the national football team will visit Azadi Stadium again, and China football will once again experience the power of "the first devil's home in Asia".
