1252 The old meet

Nearly 30,000 Chinese fans were excited and carnival in the stands of the Doha Port Stadium!

At this moment, Chinese fans around the world are also celebrating this historic victory!

Situ Yunbing smiled on the sidelines, and he hugged everyone in the coaching staff. The victory of Chinese football has been expected to be successful for countless years, and it has finally come true today!

The Chinese team's wives in the stands hugged each other to celebrate becoming a beautiful landscape.

Situ Yunbing sorted out his clothes and walked to shake hands with Gnot Roll after the game. The two nodded to greet each other. Situ Yunbing patted the other party's arms and waved to the Chinese fans in the stands, and then he walked into the player's passage.

As the captain, Zhao Fenghua led the team to thank the Chinese fans in the stands in front of the stands as usual.

When the Chinese team made a tidy and rhythmic cheer when interacting with the fans, the scene was spectacular.

Even in the World Cup, the Chinese team is not stingy with throwing the jersey into the stands and giving it to the fans.

Situ Yunbing felt relieved in an interview after the game.

"The first game of the World Cup is always difficult. No matter who the opponent is, we have to overcome our own huge pressure!

The world media always talk about how many people there are in China, how many fans there are here, and the support of every fan may be transformed into the pressure on our shoulders!

Some players can convert pressure into motivation, while others are troubled by pressure.

I'm glad the team performed well overall today, we didn't spend much time getting into the game and started to enjoy the game gradually.

This is a journey of our self-display and it is also a process for us to let the world re-understand the Chinese team.

Nigeria is very strong overall, and they also show team spirit in the game rather than relying on individual players.

I think the final result of the game depends on the mentality of the two teams. When the Chinese team fell behind, we did not panic, and we did not even take the initiative to change the rhythm of the game. However, Nigeria was a little impatient when it was behind. In the end, their defense exposed more flaws and was used by us and seized the opportunity to lock in the victory."

The reporter asked him how he felt about this was the first victory in the history of the Chinese team.

Situ Yunbing said lightly: "In a sense, we are indeed fighting in the World Cup to achieve self-breakthroughs!

We did this today, but considering the significance of the World Cup itself, our goals have not been achieved yet, and we have nothing to be proud of at the moment. A victory is definitely not an achievement!

We still need to stay focused, earnestly and work hard to play the next game for the group qualifying!"

Speaking of the next game, the reporter asked: "In the next game, playing against a world-class team like Belgium, what chance do you think the Chinese team will have will have to win?"

Situ Yunbing smiled and said, "I think if you throw this question to Martinez, he may be difficult to answer. I can only say that Belgium is a strong team that has performed well in the past years. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are now top-notch teams, but if you admit defeat before playing against the Chinese team, that is not our style, nor my style!

What will happen in the next game, let's wait and see!"

This is not because Situ Yunbing deliberately put on a high attitude to play in the World Cup. Since he won the first game of the group stage, Situ Yunbing, as the head coach, naturally has to inject confidence into the team. If he is pessimistic, then the Chinese team, which is already inconfident, would probably be discouraged.

Nigerian coach Gnot Roll praised the performance of the Chinese team after the game and said that the next battle of life and death is the next battle!

Fortunately, they played Peru in the next game, not Belgium!

When the Chinese team returned to the hotel to rest, they watched the game between Belgium and Peru.

At the same time, countless Chinese fans were caring all night and were drunk...

Belgium finally defeated Peru with a score of 2:0!

After watching the game, Situ Yunbing fell into deep thought. Belgium did perform well in the past two major competitions. The last World Cup semi-finals and last year's European Cup semi-finals, the world rankings have never fallen out of the top five in the past few years. He won all the qualifiers in the last European Cup, and the qualifiers in this World Cup 8 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, with an impressive record.

However, Belgium's performance in the competition is much worse than in the qualifiers. Even if he wins the game, it is difficult to give people a refreshing feeling.

This performance is actually very similar to Spain 20 years ago. It is a qualifier that can defeat cities and villages, but it is lower than expected in the World Championship.

The reason for this situation is always complicated. Some teams have poor psychological qualities in the competition, while others have their technical and tactical systems that are restricted in relatively conservative competitions.

The research on opponents has done a lot of work before coming to the World Cup, and now it is just to observe the status and changes of Belgium.

The World Cup is in full swing, and Situ Yunbing will have video chats with his family when he has time. He never forbids his team from contacting his family, but when he goes to the competition, everyone is not allowed to post messages and post interactive messages on social media!

They need to be isolated from the outside world to avoid external influences.

The World Cup, which has a huge amount of attention, has triggered too many social media topics. If you follow, you will not only see positive and positive information about yourself, but there will inevitably be negative news with huge amounts of information!

No one can face negative information without being a sage, especially the Chinese team's conservative style of playing can easily attract criticism from the outside world.

Three days later, Situ Yunbing attended a pre-match press conference in the hotel. He had little opinions on the upcoming match against Belgium.

Because the outside world's analysis of the situation is more thorough than he has considered it.

Basically, the winner between the Chinese team and Belgium will advance to the World Cup quarterfinals in advance, and the losing side will have to fight a life-and-death battle in the last round!

But he is quite familiar with Belgium Situ Yunbing. After all, he has had experience in playing against each other or paid attention to the opponent during his coaching period in European football.

On the contrary, Belgian coach Martinez was quite excited in his speech during an interview before the game.

"I was as shocked as everyone else when Situ Yunbing left Liverpool four and a half years ago!

If I have a chance after the game tomorrow, I will definitely ask him why he did that.

Although Liverpool has won three Premier League titles and one Champions League title in the past four seasons, this sounds like a huge success, but it is obviously a long way from the glory created by Situ Yunbing in Liverpool.

I was not surprised when he led the Chinese team to continuously improve and succeed. He was the kind of coach who could make his team shine as long as he stood on the court!

Just as the European media claimed in the first round of the World Cup group stage: The legend is back!

And my team and I have the chance to play against the legend, but this time we have the confidence to steal the victory from him!”

It cannot be said that Martinez is full of confidence. If he does not dare to speak harshly in the Belgian national team against the Chinese team, he will really live to the dog!

Martinez once coached Wigan Athletics in the Premier League and lost to Situ Yunbing!

Then coach Everton became the head coach of the Red Army's archenemy club, and he lost to Situ Yunbing again and again.

This relationship has now been dug out by the media just to hype the topic of the battle between the two coaches.

Of course, Martinez has the hope to change the embarrassing history that has never won Situ Yunbing.

The second round of the World Cup Group C group stage in the Chinese team vs. Belgium will be played at the Sports City Stadium.

Even Situ Yunbing, who traveled all over Europe on loan, really admired the Qataris' investment in the World Cup.

When their bus arrived near the Sports City Stadium, they saw that the exterior was very unique, somewhat like a tent!

The Doha Port Stadium in the first game was surrounded by the sea water of the Persian Gulf. The second game was played in a "tent" stadium. Qatar is rich and able to hire designers to create a craftsmanship stadium, which is indeed very novel and unique.

The stadium can accommodate 47,500 spectators, and the number of Chinese fans who can cheer on the court has dropped a little from the first game, with only a few more than 20,000.

Because I can't get the ticket!

After all, Belgium, known as one of the top five favorites to win the championship, is fighting here, even neutral fans will pay for tickets to enter and watch.

In addition, the huge number of Chinese fans rushing to buy tickets has made the scalpers make a big profit, but after the ticket price is more than five times, many Chinese fans are unable to bear it.

Even though the number of Chinese fans who cheered in the last game decreased, the number of Chinese fans in this game was much more than that of Belgium's expedition.

The atmosphere in the Sports City Stadium was warm, and Situ Yunbing was in full swing when he walked into the stadium!

Many Belgian fans may also be Situ Yunbing's fans, who have made Situ Yunbing have performed brilliantly in European football.

Belgian national team coach Martinez took the initiative toward Situ Yunbing with a smile.

The last time the two met was at the Merseyside Derby. Unexpectedly, the two met again on the World Cup stage!

Martinez smiled as he shook hands with Situ Yunbing, "Long time no see."

Situ Yunbing sighed and said, "It's been a long time no see. I thought you would return to the coaching club after 2018, but I didn't expect you to work as the coach of the Belgian national team for another four years."

Martinez shrugged: "Due to the impact of the epidemic, the European Cup was postponed for one year. My original contract with Belgium ended in 2020. As a result, due to the delay of the European Cup, it was only possible to renew the contract for two years. Last summer was not a suitable time to leave. If the national team changed coaches, the time left for the new coach would be too short.

What about you? When will you return to European football?"

Situ Yunbing smiled and shook his head and said, "I don't really want to go back. I am a more and more home-loving person. I don't want to miss the time when my children grow up because of work, nor do I want to one day when my lover is old and old, I regret why I didn't accompany her in her best years."

Martinez nodded slightly, then the two stepped forward to embrace each other, separated and walked towards the coach's command area.
Chapter completed!
