586 Leaving Without Regrets
At the Frankfurt World Cup Stadium, the passionate cheer in the stands was not reduced at all.
The Portuguese team completely suppressed the Chinese team within the last five minutes of the game, while the Chinese team was embarrassed to use human walls to block the opponent's shot.
Shao Jiayi headed the ball next to the goal post to block Figo's arc shot. Xu Yunlong suspected of using his arm to block Deco's long-range shot was complained by Portuguese generals.
In the last minute of injury time, Ronaldo broke through Zhao Junzhe horizontally on the outside and was knocked to the ground by Qin Xiong.
The two seemed to have continued the inconspicuous grudges in the Premier League to the World Cup, and some quarrels broke out.
C Ronaldo believes that Qin Xiong's tackle is a red card move, while Qin Xiong smiled calmly and turned his head and left. If he took off the socks of both feet, there would be at least two holes on it, and there would be a slight contusion on the calf muscles that were vaguely painful.
The game ended in Cristiano Ronaldo's free kick over the crossbar.
"After the whole game, the Chinese team stubbornly tied the strong Portugal team. Unfortunately, we failed to maintain the lead until the end of the whole game.
However, we should give the Chinese team a round of applause, which is a day when Chinese football has been recorded in history.
Because we got our first points in the World Cup finals.
This draw will not make the situation of the Chinese team better, but compared with the defeat in the last World Cup, we should see the progress of the Chinese team, even if such progress is only because we have a superstar player.
Qin Xiong has taken over two goals in the five games so far in the World Cup finals of the Chinese team. He has led the national team forward with his personal strength. We should pay tribute to this young captain!
After two rounds of competition, the situation in Group D has become clear.
Mexico and Portugal scored 4 points.
Both the Chinese team and the Angola team only have one point.
In the last round, Mexico and Portugal had a direct conversation, while the Chinese team had to face off against African team Angola.
If Mexico and Portugal shake hands and make peace, the two teams will advance together.
But the subtle thing about the situation is that if Mexico and Portugal decide to win, both teams are at risk of being eliminated.
The victory and loss relationship between Mexico and Angola is a draw.
The victory and loss relationship between the Chinese team and the Portuguese team is also a draw.
Then if Mexico loses to Portugal and China loses to Angola, Mexico is likely to be snatched away by Angola.
On the other hand, if Portugal loses to Mexico and the Chinese team defeats Angola, the Chinese team may squeeze out Portugal.
Both of these situations have little chance of happening, but they always exist.
So we can continue to have expectations for the last round.
Besides, I think fans should be calm now. Even if the Chinese team cannot qualify and being able to participate in this World Cup is a great honor. We should continue to cheer for the Chinese team!”
After the game, Qin Xiong took the initiative to walk to Portugal captain Figo, took off his jersey and exchanged with the opponent.
At the end of his career, Figo patted Qin Xiong on the shoulder, as if it was the encouragement of his seniors to the juniors. The two exchanged jerseys and left separately.
Qin Xiong still led his teammates to thank the Chinese fans in the stands of the stadium.
Losing to Mexico made the fans unwilling to accept it, but forcing Portugal to draw was a surprise to the fans.
There is also the wonderful long-distance run-off score in Qin Xiong's game that is worth their reminiscence for a lifetime.
The first point in the history of the Chinese team in the World Cup was won today. Qin Xiong helped the Chinese team create history. Even if it was insignificant in the eyes of others, fans who support him and love him were all a feat in their hearts.
Because only those who truly understand Chinese football can understand how difficult it is!
After the game, Alihan praised the team's performance and said that he would do his best to win in the last group match. As for whether he could advance to the knockout stage, he said that it would not affect the spirit of the Chinese team.
Portuguese coach Alihan criticized the Chinese team's tactics with resentment, believing that if the Chinese team continues to develop in this way, it will be difficult for them to keep up with the pace of the times and will always be in a backward state.
To put it bluntly, Scolari wanted to express that the Chinese team was not learning well, but he went on a wrong path.
As for the World Cup champion coach and the once famous 3R combination under his command, Scolari naturally scoffed at the Chinese team's tactic of defending and counterattacking.
The game that tied Portugal has received unanimous praise in China. The intensive defense of the Chinese team has also been described as a manifestation of tenacious spirit.
Qin Xiong's goal of riding alone through the gate was even more mythical. Almost all sports TV stations will repeatedly play clips of him breaking the gate.
The last group match of the Chinese team was held in Leipzig. The next morning, the team left Frankfurt for Leipzig.
Qin Xiong mostly took a rest during his journey.
After a season of fatigue and the preparations and conquests during the World Cup, and traveling, his physical condition may be the worst in the team.
After coming to the hotel in Leipzig, Qin Xiong went back to his room to rest and slept until supper.
He casually wore casual clothes and came to the hotel restaurant.
As soon as he walked into the restaurant, a sound of salute scared him.
Colorful strips fell from the top of the head.
He was shocked to see that the restaurant was decorated as a birthday celebration venue, and the hanging banner read: Team Qin. Happy birthday!
The teammates and coaching staff of the national team prepared a surprise for Qin Xiong.
June 18.
Qin Xiong’s 21st birthday.
Even Qin Xiong himself forgot about it.
But the national team did not forget.
They even made some peace and invited Xiweiya to the hotel to celebrate Qin Xiong's birthday together.
The teammates did not prepare gifts. After all, it was not that convenient to fight outside. It seemed that it was not interesting to buy anything outside.
But Qin Xiong was very moved by preparing a birthday dinner for Qin Xiong in the hotel.
The teammates said a few blessings, Qin Xiong responded with a smile, and then took a seat with Xi Weiya.
Qin Xiong picked up the teacup and said to everyone: "Thank you very much for celebrating my birthday. When we came to Germany, we tasted the bitter fruits of failure. Maybe the future is not bright, but when we are together, I still say the same thing. When we leave, we will never regret it! I hope everyone can work hard together!"
The game that tied Portugal actually injected a dose of heart-warming agent into the Chinese team.
As powerful as Portugal, he couldn't beat us!
It can be said that the Chinese team lacks experience and their psychological quality of the game is not as strong as other opponents.
But learning lessons from failure, summarizing experience, making quick adjustments, and the persuasion and enlightenment of the captain and coach, everyone's mentality has now relaxed.
No matter how humble the Chinese team looks to be in the outside world, it is hard to move forward.
But this is our World Cup!
Chapter completed!
