Chapter 0872, friends meet
The Chinese team lost a key game, and the qualifying situation cast a shadow.
Domestic fans are in mourning.
"Chile can't win, so do we still have a chance to win against the Netherlands and Spain?"
"Alas, I won't be able to appear in the group stage."
"But it's a little better than in 2002. At least I scored a goal. But my desire to score a point and win a game is definitely out of the question!"
Domestic public opinion has been dominated by criticism and doubts, which is completely different from the overwhelming confidence of the people before the World Cup.
Faced with the huge influence of public opinion, the pressure on the Chinese team doubled.
Especially the press team accompanying the team, many of them took advantage of every opportunity to ask the players what they thought of the game.
Even in some expressions, it seems not so friendly.
However, everyone in the Chinese team was silent.
The head coach of the Chinese national team warned the players not to talk nonsense.
And these Chinese players also live under this special Eastern football rules and have long been accustomed to it.
For them, absolutely nothing is said at this time.
Some people are even quite satisfied with this 2 to 3 result.
Chile is so strong and we were able to score two goals, which is quite good.
The whole team kept silent, even Long Yu, who was always loudmouthed, remained silent.
At this time, anything you say is wrong.
If you want to save the situation, you can only rely on your results.
After the game on June 14, the entire Chinese team took a flight to Porto Alegre the next day.
On June 19, the Chinese team’s second group match will be held here.
Their opponent was the most impressive Dutch team in the first round of the group stage.
Time continues to pass, and the first round of the group stage has ended.
Every team has its ups and downs.
In several strong matches, Italy defeated England 2-1.
Balotelli, the star who won six crowns with Milan and defended the triple crown, is the brightest star in this game.
Pass and shoot to help the team defeat the opponent.
Stars such as Lampard and Gerrard, who were determined to participate in the World Cup for the last time, were unable to recover.
Germany beat Portugal 4-0, which was shocking.
After the Netherlands defeated Spain 5-1, Germany once again swept Portugal.
Pepe's reckless red card was the turning point of the game.
Portugal, exhausted, was powerless and could only accept a disastrous defeat.
Argentina, France and other giants won smoothly without any difficulties.
It is worth mentioning that all Asian teams in the first round of the group stage were defeated.
The Chinese team and the Japanese team suffered defeats, and South Korea and Yin Lang also barely tied with their opponents.
While world football is making rapid progress, Asian football has been left behind.
On June 18, the first round of the group stage ended.
Tomorrow is the second round of the group stage match for the Chinese team.
Training ended early today, and Camacho gave everyone more time to adjust.
Chang Ming and Long Yu still go to the gym to train and maintain their condition.
After dinner, they went back to their room to rest. Chang Ming and Long Yu's cell phones rang message notification sounds almost at the same time.
Long Yu chuckled: "It's probably my parents. They must wish us all the best tomorrow."
Chang Ming nodded: "It should be, otherwise the timing would not be such a coincidence."
When I turned on my phone, I guessed wrong.
On Chang Ming's and Long Yu's mobile phones, there were messages from two Dutch friends respectively.
Also their current or former club teammates.
De Jong: "Captain, we are going to play against each other tomorrow. I'm so excited! I'm telling you, I'm going to keep an eye on you tomorrow. Are you afraid?"
Chang Ming replied: "I've been looking forward to it for a long time, and it's probably going to be like this. Don't be too harsh tomorrow, or you'll get a red card, which will be quite embarrassing."
De Jong: "Absolutely impossible! I will definitely restrict you tomorrow, so that the Chinese team will not be a threat at all!"
Chang Ming: "Then let's see tomorrow whether you can restrain me."
On Long Yu's cell phone, there was a message from Sneijder.
"Long, we are going to play against each other tomorrow. I'm really excited. Since we parted ways with Inter Milan, we haven't had the chance to play against each other, and now we finally meet again."
Long Yu geared up: "Yes, I'm also looking forward to meeting you. You must know that you are the third best passer in the world in my mind."
Sneijder: "Third in the world? Unfortunately, I have always ranked you as the number one center in the world!"
Long Yu: "That can't be helped. Who made me so good?"
Sneijder: "fxxk... Then tell me who the top two are? I want to hear who is better at passing the ball than me!"
Long Yu: "My brother Daming, and Riquelme."
Sneijder: "Oh, the two of them did make a couple of mistakes. Yes, I agree."
Long Yu: "We played well in the last game, beating Spain half to death."
Sneijder: "If I beat the Chinese team to half death tomorrow, don't blame me."
Long Yu: "Bah! The Chinese team will win!"
Sneijder: "Well, you are still so optimistic in the face of difficulties. But it's good, come on."
Long Yu: "Damn, this sounds so awkward..."
Throwing the phone aside, Long Yu looked sideways at Chang Ming: "Da Ming, do you think we can win the game tomorrow?"
Chang Ming exhaled slowly: "The possibility is too small, after all, this Dutch team is too strong, a promising champion."
"Yeah, even though I'm such an optimistic person, I still think tomorrow will be too difficult."
"But as long as we play solid defensive counterattacks, we may have a chance tomorrow."
"That's right! After all, I'm in front, I will kill De Jong! Hahahaha!"
Seeing Long Yu's arrogant expression, Chang Ming, who was a little worried at first, also smiled.
Yes, there is nothing to worry about.
When you are with your brothers, no matter how hard the wall is, hit it!
In the evening of June 19, Bellario Stadium.
The Chinese team appeared on the sidelines of the court.
The Dutch team arrived a few minutes early and were warming up in the middle of the court.
Seeing the Chinese team coming, several Dutch players came over to say hello.
Sneijder was the closest and stepped forward to greet Long Yu warmly.
Long Yu responded with a hug.
During his time at Inter Milan, everything went wrong for Long Yu.
The care given to him by Sneijder and other teammates is Long Yu's only good impression of the Nerazzurri.
Even though Sneijder left for the Turkish League, the two still kept in touch and had a good relationship.
We met again, chatted passionately for a few words, and then parted ways.
De Rong trotted forward and hugged Chang Ming and Long Yu respectively.
As Milan teammates, the three have a very good relationship.
Although De Jong is considered by the outside world to be a butcher-like defensive midfielder and very cruel, he is still very good in front of his brothers.
After chatting for a few words, De Jong looked at the two Milan captains.
"Ming, long,
"team leader,
"In Milan, you are the best stars,
"But here we are definitely the better team,
"The outcome of this game has been determined,
"I can only say sorry to you in advance.
"I wish the Chinese team all the best in the future."
Chapter completed!
