78. Qualified!

"The game is over, the game is over!" Huang Jianxiang's voice was already hoarse. "The contest between South Korea and Iran on another venue just ended. The score was 0:0. So far, we have nine games, six wins and one draw.

With two losses and 19 points, we ranked second in the group, five points ahead of South Korea, which ranked third in the group."

"This also means that with one game left, we ranked second in the group and successfully qualified from Group A of the top 12 Asian preliminaries. The Korean team benefited from our victory and was also better than

Uzbekistan gained 5 points and qualified for the play-offs. However, the Uzbek team lost the opportunity to enter the World Cup in Russia."

"Sixteen years have passed, and I have finally waited for this day." Huang Jianxiang cried with joy at this time.

Su Dong, who had always been cold-faced, was secretly wiping away tears at this time: "Like you, like all the friends at the scene, like the audience in front of the TV, like everyone who cares about Chinese football, we are also fans,

We all understand what this moment means."

"This qualifying can be said to be a new chapter. It is of great significance to carry on the past and open up the future." Su Dong rarely began to reveal his true feelings, "What I am thinking about is that if we abandon the past and look at the future, in the future, we as caretakers

As Chinese fans, what kind of mental outlook and mentality should we have? Of course, we will still love our favorite team and have our own gods, or we will appreciate every game impartially as long as it can be called good-looking.

Game. However, don’t forget that the meaning of football is not just to be a spectator. Starting from yourself and letting football happen to yourself is the most practical significance.”

A series of words made Huang Jianxiang start to think deeply: "Yes. For example, as a football commentator, I witness wonderful games, and then I need to stay up late as a price. Therefore, I need a good body to be able to bear the consequences of staying up late.

Minimize the disadvantages. For example, I am moved by others, and then my emotions become ups and downs. Therefore, I need a good heart that can carry everything and feel everything. For example, I admire others

I also want to experience my skills first-hand. This is a good thing, but it also requires me to develop a body and physique suitable for sports.”

"Isn't there a slogan for everything? Football is more than just scores. Both inside and outside the game, and the extension of the game, determine that we are not just spectators. Only when everyone truly participates in this sport, can this sport be truly successful.

We will truly take root in China, and we will not get so excited after qualifying for the World Cup twice that we will eventually fall into deeper troughs one after another." Huang Jianxiang concluded.

Two professional industry insiders are spreading their own thoughts and are prepared for danger in times of peace, but the vast majority of fans will not care about this. The entire Jiangcheng Sports Center has become a sea of ​​joy, and the same is true for the square outside the sports center.

Mr. Tan was on the phone with his two old brothers. Although he already knew that they had learned about the Chinese team's qualifying news through television broadcasts, he still expressed his desire to communicate excitedly: "Old Tang, we have qualified. We have qualified."

Qualified again! Hahaha!”

The old brother opposite obviously also liked hearing Mr. Tan's announcement very much: "Hey, monkey boy, I regret it so much now. If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't walk, I would have gone to watch this game live. Nie Jiang, that boy.

I insist on getting it... It would be great if Lao Zhong was still here."

The two old guys chatted for a long time. It wasn't until Mr. Tan's cell phone prompted that there was a call coming in that he hung up: "Oh, let me tell you, the call from the loudspeaker is coming. Hang up, hang up."

After hanging up the phone with a smile, Mr. Tan started chatting with another old brother again.

Just as the fans were bursting with joy, the celebrations of the players on the field also reached a climax.

From the moment the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the whole place was in an uproar. Players on the field, players on the sidelines, coaches, and staff all rushed into the field.

According to the rules, a player who is sent off cannot stay on the playing field during the game. This field also includes the bench and warm-up area. In other words, if a player is sent off with a red card by the referee, then this player is not allowed to stay on the playing field.

Players who are sent off by the referee can only go to the stands or the players' lounge.

Of course, there are other places where players can go, and that is the tunnel. When the referee turns a blind eye, many players will hold onto the entrance of the tunnel and continue to watch the game on the field.

This is the case with Du Zhenyu.

In order not to violate the rules or cross the boundaries of the field, he twisted his whole body into a strange posture, nervously and greedily spying on the game on the field.

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, Du Zhenyu, as if he had been let go of the leash, rushed to the court with joy. He was both excited and frightened, laughing and crying at the same time.

With an expression that couldn't help laughing, he hugged Nie Jiang who scored the goal - if this game was really lost because of his sending off, he would have become the sinner of Chinese football. Nie Jiang can be said to have saved it.

he.

Nie Jiang was having fun at this time. He was just 19 years old. He used to play colorful games to make a living, and now he suddenly became a figure who made the final decision for the Chinese national team. The transformation can be seen through the vicissitudes of life.

describe.

As if Nie Jiang, who was still half asleep, was startled by Du Zhenyu's bear hug from behind. Seeing the tears on his excited face, he, who has always been cheerful, immediately returned to his usual cheerful appearance.

He turned around and put his arms around Du Zhenyu's shoulders and patted his back: "Brother Yu, it's okay, it's okay. Who am I? I am a hero, your hero. I am here to save you mortals, haha."

Du Zhenyu, who was originally very moved, was suffocated by Nie Jiang's shamelessness and could only roll his eyes.

Nie Jiang, who was still a teenager, suddenly became happy when he saw Du Zhenyu being teased by him. This is the mood of young people. He was still sad and sad before, but now he has a playful and smiling face.

Nie Jiang, whose mood turned from gloomy to bright, soon became like a young wildebeest, pouting his hooves and running wildly on the court. He would hug his teammate, jump and laugh, and then go to meet him again.

The members of that coaching staff were arm in arm.

As the captain of this game, Li Yun was squatting on the court, covering his face with his hands, sobbing secretly.

He is a person who looks outgoing, likes to express himself, has excellent communication skills, and is good at integrating into the group. However, he is also a player who has the courage to take responsibility, has a persistent pursuit of football, and hides his love for football deeply in his body.

.

Li Yun strongly agrees with the words of his senior and an excellent central defender Li Weifeng: "In life, the biggest dream of achievement is that you must be at the top. So what is your top? I think if you have not experienced the World Cup

After the baptism, it is difficult to say that your sports career is perfect."

Having this kind of thinking is also related to the fact that his father often encourages him.

Although he did not have much time to educate Li Yun, his father always used the words of his idol, the fat man Liu Guoliang of the Chinese table tennis team, to teach Li Yun, who later officially chose football as a career: "As an athlete, you

You must remember that when you fight on behalf of the country, the honors you receive will make you a national hero, and national heroes will definitely be remembered in history."

Therefore, before this crucial game, the moment Li Yun got the captain's armband, he knew that he was responsible for leading the team to victory and entering the World Cup with his teammates, which also helped hand the captain's armband to him.

The responsibility of the old captain Zheng Zhi to realize his dream.

During the game, when Du Zhenyu was sent off, although Li Yun looked as calm as a dog on the outside, he was actually as panicked as a dog in his heart.

He is afraid that the team will lose one person and lose the game, which will affect the team's chance of directly qualifying. Once it falls into the most unfavorable situation - going to play in the play-offs, then he will really be the team's sinner.

After all, before the old captain Zheng Zhi handed over the captain's armband to him, the national team was in a position where it had full advantage in qualifying.

The moment the game ended, all the burdens on Li Yun's heart were lifted, and he cried with joy.

At this time, the old captain Zheng Zhi had already covered his head with his jersey and cried for a long time.

In real history, Zheng Zhi can be said to have completed his performance in the national team with full marks in this Asian preliminaries. However, in the end, the gap in team strength and the bumpy coaching change midway still made him

He drank in hatred.

Not to mention the tears on his face after the last game.

With his strong temperament, when Gao Lin took the penalty kick in the penultimate game, he didn't even have the courage to watch. With his back on his back, you can imagine how eager he was for the World Cup.

However, in this time and space, God finally gave the 37-year-old veteran a chance.

Looking at his senior, Li Yun calmed down and walked over and gave him a big hug. This can be regarded as a perfect handover between the two captains of the Chinese national team.

Finally, the members of the national team, who had made plans long ago, took out the pre-prepared cultural shirts. This red cultural shirt had the national flag on the front and the chest, and on the back was the word "qualification" with a big exclamation point added.

.

Everyone on the field, including the reporters who were with the team, got one of these commemorative uniforms.

After everyone put on their cultural shirts, everyone rushed towards the most crucial person for the Chinese team to qualify this time - head coach Lippi.

Lippi was not given any chance to defend himself, and everyone scrambled to lift the old man up.

Considering that the old man was about to turn 70, everyone no longer threw him into the air like they did when the Evergrande team won the AFC Champions League in 2013. Instead, they carried the old man around the field for a short circle before letting him down.

.

After showing off the head coach, the next step is the interaction between the players and the fans.

Lippi was in a very good mood at this time. While greeting fans and acquaintances, he walked back to the lounge to wait for the players to return from the game. The players held hands and came to the fans' stands to interact with everyone.

Although the game had ended ten minutes ago, the players and fans of the Uzbekistan team had already left the field in tears, and the stadium had become a stage for the Chinese team and fans to perform.

Slogans of "The Chinese team is awesome", "Long live Chinese football" and "Long live China" resounded throughout the audience. The players and fans sang songs of the motherland like a song.

Sing.

The staff responsible for the broadcast of CCTV, together with the local photographers from Jiangcheng TV, were like crazy people, following the star players of the Chinese team closely. At this climax, they were even more crowded than the Chinese team players.

The queue was quite long.

As the players and fans sang together, even these reporters and media people joined in.

The stadium did not become deserted because the game was over, but the atmosphere became more and more lively.
