These four consecutive victories not only allowed our team to successfully advance to the Round of 12, but also made the nation's fans boiled with excitement, and the explosive power of this victory was highlighted by the hot search on all major platforms and extensive coverage in the national media.
It is worth mentioning that the media reports on the diet of the national team on the car dumplings off the noodle, the national football team moved to trigger a wide range of concerns. How to ensure the dietary safety and health of the national football players has become an important part of the competition.
The necessity of carbohydrates cannot be overstated, and Shaanxi pasta is renowned far and wide. Therefore, Gao Yuan Yuan, a pastry chef from Shaanxi Chang'an Athletics, has been recruited by the national team to be a behind-the-scenes hero this time.
Chef Gao Yuan Yuan has nearly a decade of experience in making pasta, and since joining Shaanxi Chang'an Athletics in 2018, her pasta has been consistently praised by the players and coaching staff.
A local of Lantian, Shaanxi, Chef Gao specializes in a variety of noodle dishes including noodles, dumplings, cold cuts, meat pies, etc. Cooking and soccer are her two main passions.
"I think soccer and pasta making are actually quite similar, both require patience and skill, and I will take every cooking seriously." Master Gao said this.
The first match of the national football team was played on May 30th, while Master Gao entered the training ground on the 17th. Cooking for the national team for the first time, she was both excited and full of responsibility.
"I barely closed my eyes the night before I left for Nationals, I was so excited! When I closed my eyes on the way, all I could think about was the recipe. At that time, I just wanted to make everyone on the national team happy, and I also wanted to go out and win honor for our salon." Master Gao recalled.
To ensure everyone's safety and health, the national team equipped everyone with a full set of protective equipment and required everyone to be vaccinated before entering the tournament area. It can be said that the hard work of the national soccer team was evident to all on the field.
Shaanxi Chang'an Athletic's game posters also featured the national soccer team cheering, inspiring fans across the country. The national team not only touches the hearts of millions of fans, but the players also become the focus. However, they are not superior, but very friendly.
Master Gao was very impressed with the international players, "The international players will take the initiative to greet us, whether it's during dinner or in general, they are very polite. Head Coach Li Tie seems to be very strict, but actually cares a lot about us all."
During the intense days of intensive training, Chef Gao kept on renovating his tricks and made a different pasta dish almost every day.
After defeating Guam in the first match, the national team made a temporary adjustment and traveled to Dubai to continue the latter part of the schedule. The domestic chef team could not continue to accompany the team, the night before the national football team left for Dubai, chef Gao served the well-prepared dumplings to the generals, in order to "get on the car dumplings off the noodle" the good meaning, but also in order for the players to be able to go all out!
As a footballer, Master Gao feels honored to contribute to the national team! Let's all cheer for the national team and look forward to their more exciting matches in the Final Twelve!
