Text Volume Chapter 317 Proof of the Battle The Russian player Nikolay Lucas, who was responsible for taking the corner kick before, ran to the ball boy to ask for the ball in preparation for a throw-in.
He raised the football with both hands above his head and was about to throw it when he heard the referee's whistle.
One sound.
He threw the football.
The second whistle sounded.
The football fell on the turf of the field, bounced up, and fell again... It was bouncing around in the field with no one to catch it.
The third whistle has been blown.
The Russian TV commentator in the commentary box sighed: "The game is over! The game is over... We failed to defeat the Chinese team, the weakest team in the group, in the second group match. Russia lost its lead in the group qualifying match."
A chance to win... But the performance of the Chinese team is worthy of this draw. I think Wang Guangwei's header clearance at the last moment can be included in the highlights of this World Cup... This is the performance of the Chinese team in this game.
The epitome of this, it was precisely with such a tenacious defensive performance that they made it difficult for us to move forward and helpless..."
The commentator on Russian TV commented on the game with a mixture of disappointment and calmness. Although he was very disappointed with his national team's performance, he still maintained his demeanor.
In the same commentary box in the distance, He Feng and Yan Kang could not keep calm. They rushed into the microphone and shouted loudly, as excitedly as if the Chinese team had won the game:
"The game is over! The game is over!! The Chinese team withstood Russia's last crazy attack! They held on to the tie! Wang Guangwei made a wonderful defense at the last moment of the game! His leaping in the air to make a clearance was really right.
The best ending to the game!”
"After the 2:2 draw with Algeria, the Chinese team's performance has satisfied domestic fans. But they are not satisfied with the results they have achieved. Facing the more powerful Russia, they not only opened the scoring in the game,
And it also withstood Russia's attack. The whole team was united and scored another point! So far... the Chinese team remains undefeated!"
On the court, Wang Guangwei was still stunned when he was hugged by Lin Zhiyuan next to him: "Lao Wang! Lao Wang! The game is over! We have not lost!!"
Then Lin Zhiyuan patted his back hard, let go of him and went to find someone else.
Wang Guangwei looked around again and saw his teammates raising their arms and shouting to celebrate the draw.
He finally came to his senses. Yes, the game is over, we... didn't lose!
So he raised his arms and shouted happily, then turned around and hugged Yao Huasheng and Captain Yao: "Captain Yao, I'm sorry!"
"Why did you say sorry to me?" Yao Huasheng had a smile on his face, but his mind was filled with little questions.
"Hey... during the last defense, I jumped up on your shoulders, Captain Yao..." Wang Guangwei revealed the truth.
Yao Huasheng smiled and shook his head: "I guessed it was you! Otherwise, how could you jump so high?"
"I had no other choice at that time. I could only support Team Yao and you to take off, so that I could compete with Romanov... But the situation was urgent, and I didn't ask for your permission..."
Yao Huasheng patted his back: "I don't need to agree. If you think it's right, just do it. I'm also very happy to be a stepping stone for you!"
Wang Guangwei waved his hand: "It's not a stepping stone, Team Yao. The two of us defended this ball together!"
Romanov looked at Wang Guangwei and Yao Huasheng who were hugging and chatting beside him.
His presence also attracted Yao Huasheng's attention. He remembered the scene just now and said to Wang Guangwei: "By the way, you really have to thank me. If he hadn't pulled you just now, your cervical vertebra might have been destroyed...
…”
He told Wang Guangwei the scene he just witnessed with his own eyes.
After Wang Guangwei heard this, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back. He had jumped too high and struggled to hit the ball before falling weightlessly, briefly losing control of his body.
If Romanov hadn't taken action in time, the consequences would have been... unimaginable.
After Yao Huasheng finished speaking, he patted him on the shoulder and pushed him towards Romanov: "So you have to say thank you."
Wang Guangwei walked up to Romanov, who was still in a daze, and said in English: "Thank you."
Romanov was awakened by him and came to his senses. He shook his head with a smile and replied in English with a strong accent: "I just acted subconsciously, you don't need to thank me."
After saying that, he shrugged again: "How did you do that last header...?"
Wang Guangwei pointed at Yao Huasheng and answered him in English: "I jumped on the shoulders of our captain."
"No wonder..." Romanov suddenly realized, then shook his head. "This is the first time I have seen someone do this in a game. But be careful, saving a ball may put you in a very dangerous situation..."
Wang Guangwei disagreed: "If you don't put yourself in danger, how can you guard against the giant bear?"
After Romanov understood what Wang Guangwei said, he burst out laughing.
It attracted a lot of attention.
As soon as everyone saw that the person he was talking to was Wang Guangwei, they all looked away.
Amid laughter, Romanov took off his Russian No. 9 jersey and handed it to Wang Guangwei: "Come on, kid, exchange jerseys."
Wang Guangwei was not pretentious. He also took off his jersey and neatly completed the jersey exchange ceremony with his opponent.
"Wang Guangwei and Romanov were exchanging jerseys. In this game, the two were entangled and had several head-to-head encounters. Obviously, Wang Guangwei won the respect of his opponent with his actual performance... This was Romanov's initiative to exchange
For the jersey!”
"He Feng, look, after Wang Guangwei took off his jersey, his body was covered in bruises and purples, all from when he fought against Romanov in the game... In order to win the respect of his opponent, Wang Guangwei paid so much
The price was almost all injuries."
In front of the TV, Wang Guangwei's mother couldn't bear to see the injuries on her son's body. Of course she knew that as a professional player, it was inevitable for her son to have bruises and bumps on his body after playing a game. It was not like she had never seen her son finish playing.
There are scars on the body after league and national team games, but the ones as dense and shocking as today are still extremely rare.
Especially the last one really scared her so much that her heart almost jumped out of her throat. She was really worried that her son would fall on his head and something would happen...
When the husband saw his wife covering her mouth and frowning, he said, "This is the World Cup. Even if you just want not to lose, you need to try your best."

"...I believe there must be people like him in the Chinese team. It is because the whole team is united and works so hard that we can score another point for us! This is the World Cup, the highest stage of international football, and
Our Chinese team is a new player on this stage, but after playing two games, we can still compete with our opponents on an equal footing... I think this is not easy."
"Yan Kang, you are right. Before the Chinese team went to the World Cup, to be honest, although there were such and such voices on the Internet, any rational and calm fan must know that with the strength of the Chinese team, in this group
How difficult the situation will be... But these boys gave us a big surprise! In the first game, we drew with Algeria, who are also new players in the World Cup. Many people, including me, thought... 'That's it. That's it.
That's it. 'At least I'm very satisfied... But I didn't expect that in this second game, we faced Russia, which had reached the semi-finals of the World Cup and the semi-finals of the European Cup. Even though Russia was declining, we still performed very tenaciously.
, scored first, and withstood their onslaught, conceding only one goal! This performance has far exceeded our expectations for them!"
"Yes, I think this is why no matter how much we pay, how far we travel, generation after generation... we must come to participate in the World Cup! Because this is the top stage of world football! Only
Only by personally participating in it can we learn advanced experience and grow...otherwise we will always be a frog in the well! Then Chinese football is really...difficult to make progress!"
The two commentators seemed very excited as one said one thing and the other said another.
Obviously, they have a lot of emotions about this draw with Russia.
Before the World Cup, everyone had many unrealistic fantasies about the Chinese team. Fans and the media set many performance goals for the Chinese team.
But in the eyes of the two commentators, the significance of the Chinese team participating in this World Cup does not lie in how many places we got in the end or whether we qualified from the group. It lies in whether we can really grow in this kind of competition.
After all, we are not here to participate in the World Cup just once and then die after enjoying it.
We want to participate in more World Cup finals in the future and hope to not miss every World Cup.
So the most important thing is to gain experience and grow from this first time, so that everyone can see hope.
Now after two rounds of the World Cup group stage, the Chinese team remains undefeated. Although it faces the strongest Brazil in the last round, it is almost impossible to defeat the opponent and get the right to qualify in the group, but this will not make people feel depressed.
and dissatisfaction.
On the contrary, everyone is cheering for the Chinese team's performance.
This can be seen from the enthusiastic and exciting messages on the Internet.
"Wang Guangwei is awesome! To be honest, even if Romanov gets old, he would still be a 'terrible devil' in Asia. But Wang Guangwei was able to face him head-on for ninety minutes and only conceded one goal! This is
Is he already one of the top central defenders in Asia?"
"The last header to clear the ball really shocked me! I was in front of the TV and just said 'fuck you'. I didn't know what to say other than 'fuck you'..."
"Don't forget the other Chinese team players who contributed to this draw. Team Yao also fought hard until the end. Wang Guangwei mainly dealt with Romanov, and Team Yao dealt with other Russian players. The pressure on them was not light at all!
"
"There is also Mao Junzheng who was replaced. Our Golden Arrow Mao Jun is really good! He used to be the main player in the national team and now he is a substitute. He has no complaints and is working hard to let him play. I think this team
The reason why the national team has been undefeated in the World Cup so far has a lot to do with the unity of the team. There is really no factionalism or factionalism in this team. Director Shi has really knitted them together.
A team, this is the most amazing thing!”
"Yes, every international player who goes to the World Cup, if you want to say whether they have selfish motives, they definitely have it. But everyone can still unite under a common goal and fight for each ball in the game. This is
It’s really great! To be honest, I had tears in my eyes countless times while watching these two games..."
"Although he is not as popular as Hu Lai, Luo Kai really learned his skills while studying abroad. The World Cup goal is the best reward for all his efforts! I hope this goal can make his journey abroad smoother. I hope
He can become the 'twin stars' of Chinese football in Europe with Hu Lai!"
"Zhang Qinghuan's performance in this game was obviously much better than the last one. He has gradually adapted to the rhythm of the World Cup. The assist to Luo Kai was so beautiful! When he passed the ball, I thought
He was looking for Hu Lai, but he didn’t expect the football to make a sharp turn and fly straight to the back point!”
"No one praises my Xiaoyu? From the nervousness when he came on as a substitute in the first game, to his composure in this game, the several times he turned around during the game were really full of aura!"
"Everyone above is right! The results achieved by the Chinese team are the result of everyone on the team, not just one person, or just the 11 people on the field...those players who came on the bench and did not play.
, they all worked hard for these two draws! I love this Chinese team! I love this Chinese football!"
※※※
After the game, the Chinese team players gathered together and walked to the stands where the Chinese team fans were most concentrated to pay respect and thanks to the Chinese fans who came to the Miami Rock Stadium to cheer them on. Just like after the last game
Like after the Algeria game.
The Chinese fans in the stands waved their national flags to them.
“Well done to the Chinese team!”
“The national football team is awesome!”
“Come on Team China!”
Such shouts echoed in the stands of Rock Stadium.
Wang Guangwei was still naked from the waist up, revealing the shocking scars on his body. He had a Romanov jersey on his shoulders and raised his hands to applaud the fans in the stands.
Next to him was Lin Zhiyuan. He took off his gloves and held them in his hands, waving to the Chinese fans in the stands.
Next to them are Zhou Zijing, Xia Xiaoyu, Zhang Qinghuan, Chen Xingyi and Hu Lai...the camera swept over the faces of these people.
They all had the same posture, looking up at the fans in the stands, raising their arms and applauding.
Further away, Luo Kai, who scored in this game, had his face stained with dirt and grass clippings, but he still smiled and patted the five-star red flag on his chest with his hand.
They slowly walked from one stand to another, waving and applauding the Chinese fans in the stands, thanking them for coming from afar.
He Feng saw this scene and said with emotion: "Friends, audience, this is our country's football team... After a fierce battle, each of them looked very tired, and no part of their bodies or jerseys looked intact.
’ s... Some people’s faces were not even wiped off the grass clippings stuck with sweat. The image is not considered tall, and it is definitely far from the radiant and glamorous heroic image in everyone’s mind... But audience friends
, they are the football heroes of our own country! Real heroes are like this, not handsome, not chic, not clean, breathing heavily, with chapped lips... His eyes may be slightly lost because of being too tired... He started walking
They were limping along the way, as if their movements were not flexible... They are not the otherworldly 'idols' in idol dramas. But there is no doubt that they are our heroes! Because these tiredness and injuries... are
Proof that they fought with all their might!”
In front of the TV, countless Chinese fans also kept standing, watching the Chinese team players on the screen and applauding.
It was as if their applause could also be heard by the international players on the other side of the ocean.

PS, the single update has started, sorry, sorry
PS2, these two games early this morning were really enjoyable.
When Spain led Croatia 3:1, I posted on Weibo, proudly showing off my predictions. Unexpectedly, I was slapped in the face by Croatia in the end. Then I posted on Weibo to express my admiration for Croatia, and it ended in overtime.
Spain scored two goals in a row...
Watching Modric end up exhausted really made me sigh. Imagine that at the 2018 World Cup in Russia three years ago, the 33-year-old Modric fought until the end of every game and still had the strength to rush back to celebrate. And.
Now he can only hold his knees with both hands and play football on the spot...
Croatia really exhausted its last bit of strength and fought until exhaustion and was defeated.
Although defeated, it is still glorious!
In the match between Switzerland and France, when the French team led Switzerland 3:1, I couldn't stand it any longer. I wanted to go to sleep. Anyway, the game was no longer suspense. As a result... Switzerland actually eliminated France with a penalty kick...
