Two hundred and eighty-eighth chapter open for the country
"Friends, viewers! What you are seeing now is the Chinese national men's football team preparing to depart at Shanhai International Airport...Through the camera, we can see that many fans have gathered outside the airport, wearing jerseys of the Chinese national team.
Jerseys, holding banners and posters, waving national flags... and many media reporters came to the scene to conduct interviews and reports..."
On TV, on-site reporter Wang Shanshan introduced the scene behind her to the audience in an excited voice.
There is a sea of people outside the T1 terminal of Shanhai International Airport. As we all know from previous reports, the fans who show up here to see off the Chinese team are not only Shanhai locals, but also fans from all over China. That’s why it’s so
Spectacular crowds.
They came here just to witness the historical scene of the Chinese men's football team competing in the World Cup and to become a part of this history.
Although transportation, security and other relevant departments have made plans, when the day actually came, everyone was still frightened. Not just by the scene, but by the fact that Chinese football could achieve such a huge success in this country.
Surprised by the love.
How could Chinese football be treated like this in the past?
They all believed that this was the Olympic champion's return with honour. No, maybe the Olympic champion's return with honour, might not be as good as the scene outside the airport today.
Not only the fans who came here, but also the tourists who traveled normally took out their mobile phones, took photos and posted them online after seeing this scene.
"... I came to Shanhai International Airport to fly today and saw so many people... At first I thought it was some big star coming... But when I saw so many people wearing Chinese team jerseys, I realized it was the national football team! The national football team
come on!"
"I can't go to the mountains and seas, I can only work in the unit. I am extremely envious of my friends who can go to the scene. Help bring my blessings to the Chinese team! Come on!!"
"I have been fond of Chinese football for 20 years, and for the first time I feel that I can straighten my back and confidently say that I like Chinese football..."
"Ditto!"
"+1!"
"+10086"
"+my mobile number!"
“+China’s GDP this year!”
…
Faced with such a spectacular scene, the Chinese team also held a simple departure ceremony in the parking lot outside the terminal.
In order to thank the enthusiastic fans and to express determination to the people across the country.
All twenty-three Chinese team players, wearing uniforms and uniforms, stood in a row in front of the Chinese team’s dedicated bus.
Team captain Yao Huasheng stood at the front on behalf of the team, holding a microphone and speaking to all reporters and fans:
"All the players of our national team will definitely train hard during the World Cup, compete seriously, and go all out! Play with level and style! We will never embarrass Chinese football!"
Xia Xiaoyu stood in the queue, looking at the dark crowd in front of him and the flashing lights that kept lighting up, and his head was still a little dizzy.
Although five days have passed since he learned that he was selected into the twenty-three-person roster, he still feels like he is dreaming sometimes.
Unexpectedly, he actually defeated so many domestic players who were older and more experienced than him and became one of the twenty-three players.
In fact, he knew that he was selected for the twenty-three-man roster because Director Shi wanted to bring some young players to experience the atmosphere of the World Cup. In all likelihood, he would not be able to get a chance to play.
But he was very grateful nonetheless.
If he can go to the World Cup and experience it, even if he doesn't have a minute of playing time, he feels that he can gain experience and help him grow.
He had a very clear experience of this feeling when he was in the Flash Stars, that is, when Hu Lai, Wang Guangwei, and Chen Xingyi went to play in the Olympics, when they returned to the team again, they felt that whether it was confidence or
The temperament has changed a lot.
The most direct effect of increased confidence is the courage to make moves in competitions.
This is really important.
After all, if you only look at the performance in training, almost everyone is the best player. But on the field, under pressure, pressing and other physical confrontations, if you can still do what you did in training, then you will be an outstanding player.
The biggest difference between a player and a mediocre player.
Of course there are exceptions...for example, Brother Hu's performance in training seems to be normal, but when it comes to games, his performance is often more than one level better than in training.
People like this are simply born for big scenes, right?
Thinking of this, Xia Xiaoyu turned to look at Hu Lai, who was three people away from him.
What surprised him was that Brother Hu, who he thought was "born for the big scene," seemed to be in a trance in front of this spectacular scene.
After the initial shock, Xia Xiaoyu felt relieved again.
At such a critical moment, many people, including him, were nervous, but Brother Hu was not only not nervous, but even wandered... This shows the courage of Brother Hu! He is indeed a person born for big scenes!
※※※
Hu Lai was actually not as calm and calm as Xia Xiaoyu thought. He looked at the dense crowd in front of him, as well as the national flags and various slogans waving in the crowd, and he felt emotional and his thoughts were churning.
This is the World Cup!
No matter which time and space it is, the World Cup is the World Cup!
Any child who plays football will have the idea of "I want to play in the World Cup when I grow up." Regardless of whether it can be realized when they grow up, this is the common dream of all children who love football.
And now, he has finally realized this dream.
It has been almost seven years since he traveled to this world. Now he gradually no longer thinks about whether this is a dream he had. He has almost forgotten his identity as a time traveler, and firmly feels that he belongs to this world.
Aboriginal people are originally people of this world.
On the contrary, the experiences he had before traveling back in time... were perhaps the longest dream he had ever had.
In that dream, as an ordinary fan, he felt the despair and pain caused by the failure of Chinese football to compete in the World Cup again and again.
If it was really a dream and he never woke up from the dream, what kind of person would he be?
Will he have cheats? Will he meet Li Qingqing? Will Dongchuan Middle School have national competitions to play in? Will Chinese football get better after 2019? The most important thing is... when can we reach the World Cup again?
But thinking about this kind of problem now has lost its meaning.
No matter whether that time and space is a dream or not, what will happen? Today's Hu Lai is a person from this time and space. In this time and space, Chinese football has undergone tremendous changes and finally reached the World Cup for the first time!
So will the Chinese football in this world be like that world? After experiencing the carnival of reaching the World Cup for the first time, nothing has changed, leaving only chicken feathers?
As a player, Hu Lai is very limited in what he can do.
Only by trying our best can people see more hope...
As for how to try your best...of course you have to rely on the system's help!
System dad, come out to pick you up...it's time to go to work!
Hu Lai entered the system space.
Because he scored 32 goals in the Premier League, also won the Premier League Golden Boot, and completed two tasks issued by the system, Hu Lai received a total of 620,000 points as a reward.
In addition, he helped the Chinese team qualify for the World Cup, completed a task released by the system very early, and received a reward of 500,000 points, plus a bottle of [Marrow Cleansing Potion] and a [World Wave Experience Card].
[Marrow Cleansing Potion] was drunk when I got the mission reward, and [World Wave Experience Card] has never been used.
Hu Lai still remembers how he was forced out of the Dongchuan Middle School team by Li Qingqing's father and relied on his character to draw this card to complete the test. At that time, he was just a basic player who had been practicing for a month.
Novices can hit a beautiful barb driven by this card.
So you can imagine how strong this card is.
And although the point reward for completing the mission of reaching the World Cup is only 500,000, it doesn’t feel much more than the reward for the Premier League Golden Boot mission, but with this [World Wave Experience Card], Hu Lai feels that this reward is very worthy.
The task is difficult.
He plans to save this card for the three group matches of the World Cup.
It's best to use it when the team only needs one goal to win, in order to maximize the effect of this million-dollar card.
Putting this card aside, Hu Lai now has a total of 1.15 million points in his account. This is what is left after excluding the points he usually uses to buy props in the Premier League.
This was richer than he had ever been.
Nowadays, Hu Lai, who is rich and wealthy, will naturally not be stingy. He spent 300,000 points in exchange for ten [Lingxi Cards] and stored them in the system space, preparing to use them for his ten teammates before the first group match.
In addition to using the remaining points to exchange for props such as [Broken Bear Shin Pads], [Worn Bear Jersey] and [Loved Red Rope], you can also continue to purchase more [Lingxi Cards],
Use it on teammates who come off the bench.
In short, in these three group matches, Hu Lai must ensure that there are no blind spots and the cheats will cover the Chinese team in all aspects.
If the props were not for his own use only, he would have wished that everyone would be given a "three-piece set" of [Love's Red Rope], [Damaged Bear Leg Guards], and [Worn Bears Jersey]. As long as he could
The strength of the Chinese team has been rapidly improved and they have achieved good results in the World Cup. Hu Lai has no psychological barriers to cheating.
Just when Hu Lai was sorting out his props in the system space, he finally heard the long-lost Mo De's emotional voice:
"Mission: Achieve outstanding performance in the World Cup. Mission reward: Guaranteed points x 300,000. Other rewards depend on final performance."

After Yao Huasheng finished speaking, Shi Wuyin also spoke on behalf of the Chinese team coaching staff.
The players and coaches expressed their determination one after another, and this simple expedition ceremony ended.
Amid the cheers of fans and the cameras of reporters, all the players of the Chinese team turned and walked towards the special passage specially prepared for them at the airport.
They will board a chartered flight to Atlanta, USA, along with a large logistics team, Football Association staff, and state media reporters.
Looking at the scene of them turning and leaving, countless people in front of the TV muttered silently in their hearts, or simply shouted:
Team China, come on!

PS, tonight is really a football feast for the fans.
Portugal vs. Hungary at zero point, China vs. Syria at two points, France vs. Germany at three points.
Except for the last one, which I couldn't watch in its entirety, these three games happened to be seamlessly connected.
Since I also plan to watch it, I just made a wild guess.
There is no doubt that Portugal beats Hungary. Do you need to think about it? I estimate that they will win by two goals.
France and Germany, I am optimistic about France, but the outcome may not be big, just one goal.
