The players and fans have been reluctant to leave the field, but officials from the Chinese Football Association and General Administration of Sports, including the leaders in charge of maintaining stability and public security in Jiangcheng, are a little anxious because they heard that the players of the national team have not left yet.
At Jiangcheng Sports Center, countless fans are flocking here, hoping to welcome them.
After the staff's persuasion, the players reluctantly left the stadium and returned to the locker room to change clothes and prepare to take the bus back to the hotel.
Maybe it took a long time for the players to leave the field, so Lippi, who was waiting for the players, had already lit a cigar and enjoyed it for a while. The players who returned to the locker room looked at their head coach, and he looked like a boss.
After returning to the locker room, everyone's interest did not weaken at all. Everyone was talking and laughing as they took a shower, changed clothes, and discussed how to celebrate next.
When the players got on the bus and drove out of Jiangcheng Sports Center, everyone was almost stunned - there was a sea of people in the passage where the bus was walking, and a large number of armed police and public security were ready to form a human wall.
maintains a passage that only allows buses to pass through.
It seems like fans from all over China are here.
Seeing the Chinese team's bus slowly coming out of the passage, the fans on both sides immediately exploded and began to pour into the middle of the road. Fortunately, the security personnel worked well and withstood the impact, using multiple loudspeakers at the same time.
Fans are advised to calm down.
Even so, the players on the bus were frightened, fearing that the bus would hit the fans.
As the police force increased, the scene became more orderly and the players gradually became relieved.
Li Gang, who was on board the bus, has been responsible for liaison with the outside world as the leader of the national team. Just now, he decisively directed the bus driver to stop the bus and wait until the outside staff cleared the road and made it safe before starting.
About twenty minutes later, a road was cleared, the bus started slowly again, and all the players and coaching staff breathed a sigh of relief.
After the situation was brought under control, the players also began to interact with the fans. Facing the thumbs waving outside the stadium, everyone waved in response.
"Li Zhi, you were there last time the Chinese team qualified. How does the situation compare with now?" a player asked.
Li Gang was relieved at this time and said with a smile: "We were no worse than this time. Later, I heard from the fans in Shenyang that after the game, the streets of Shenyang were paraded. A bunch of fans were like crazy, and they were mad at everyone.
Hug. Especially Qingnian Street and Shifu Avenue are full of people marching, and the whole of Shenyang can be said to be carnival all night long."
Kang Bing, a former manager from Guangzhou Evergrande who has rarely spoken in the team, and the team's deputy leader, obviously did not suppress his emotions at this time: "Not to mention Shenyang, in Beijing, Chang'an Street was crowded.
It was full, and there were so many people in Tiananmen Square. Later, I heard from friends in Beijing that McDonald’s gave away free ice cream cones that night to celebrate. My hometown, a small fourth-tier county, set off firecrackers in the middle of the night.”
While everyone was chatting, they suddenly mentioned the souvenirs from this game.
"Hey, that's not right. Speaking of souvenirs, I scored a goal, so the football from this game should be collected by me, right?" Nie Jiang, who had been having fun all the time, suddenly came to his senses.
Du Zhenyu laughed again and said: "You have a reflex arc. When you play football on the field, you react faster than anything else. After kicking, you are really as slow as an aircraft carrier turning. As soon as the game ended, I saw Brother Cheng turning
The ball was picked up."
"What, can't I grab the final ball?" Zengcheng pretended to be angry and took the ball out of his seat. The goalkeeper's advantage was that he had big hands, and he could hold a football firmly with one hand.
At this time, many people had just realized that Zheng Zhi was actually very greedy for this ball, and he pretended to ask: "Where is the final ball written on this? Isn't it just a training ball?"
Happy laughter sounded in the carriage.
Zengcheng and Zheng Zhi are old teammates, and they don't care if they are criticized: "Look, look, there is a match date on it."
As he said that, Zengcheng turned the ball around and showed it to Zheng Zhi.
"I saw that Brother Cheng was a fast runner. He went to grab the ball as soon as the game ended. He ran faster than everyone else. I said Brother Cheng, you should just play forward. Such good speed is wasted." Li Yun
He was also joking around.
"I won't give you the ball, no matter what, I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow!" Zengcheng had a proud smile on his face and didn't care at all about everyone's teasing.
At this moment, the leader of the car, the chairman of the Chinese Football Association, Chai Zhenhua, shouted: "Everyone, please be quiet."
As the captain, Zheng Zhi immediately raised his hand and said "shush" to ask everyone to be quiet.
"The State Sports General Administration, the All-China Sports Federation, and the Chinese Olympic Committee sent a congratulatory message to the Chinese football delegation. The full text is as follows:..." Chai Zhenhua read out the congratulatory message with a cheerful face.
In this congratulatory message, several directly affiliated leadership units gave great praise to the Chinese national football team and expressed their hope for better results in the future - aiming at the World Cup in Russia.
Soon, more significant praise came.
Just as the team bus was about to arrive at the hotel, another leader on the bus, Du Zhaocai, a senior official of the Football Association, once again silenced the noisy car: "Good news, a congratulatory message from the Central Committee."
At this time, all the players were sitting upright, and a few people who were leaning casually on their seats quickly adjusted themselves to be very serious.
"xxx (Vice-President Liu's name will not be mentioned to prevent corruption) sent a congratulatory message. The full text of the congratulatory message is as follows: The State Sports General Administration forwarded the transfer to the Chinese Football Team: Glad to hear that the Chinese Football Team won the 21st World Cup Qualifying Tournament in Asia
In the district finals, you achieved outstanding results and qualified for the 21st World Cup finals one round ahead of schedule. This is the result of your united struggle and tenacious struggle. The people of the motherland are proud of you. On behalf of the Party Central Committee, I would like to express my gratitude to you.
The State Council expresses warm congratulations and cordial condolences to you. I hope you will continue your efforts and make new contributions to our country's sports industry."
Such a high-level congratulatory message made all the players understand the concept of national heroes that Li Yun often mentioned before.
After the congratulatory message was read, all the players applauded enthusiastically, and a strong sense of honor filled their chests.
When the bus stopped, the Sheraton Oceanwide Hotel in Hankou, Jiangcheng, where the national team was stationed this time, was already packed to the brim.
In the small square at the entrance of the hotel, groups of fans were waiting there. Countless female fans were holding bunches of flowers in their hands, which were obviously prepared for the players of the Chinese team.
In order to express the closeness to the fans, the bus did not drive into the underground parking lot, but stopped directly on the side of the road. The players got off the bus one after another and accepted the flowers handed over by the fans.
There is a small square in front of the hotel. In order to celebrate, the hotel staff activated all the floor lights, music, light fountains, etc. that are not usually open, and the scene suddenly became extremely lively.
Players and fans first took photos, signed autographs, and tried their best to satisfy the requirements of most fans present. Until more and more fans heard about it, and even a bunch of people started setting off firecrackers and fireworks next to the hotel to celebrate.
In order to ensure the safety of the players, security guards escorted the players into the hotel.
The fans outside the hotel lingered for a long time before dispersing.
At this time, the entire Jiangcheng celebration had just reached its climax.
As a megacity composed of three major towns, Jiangcheng's business district is very scattered. The eight major squares are located in different places in the three towns of Jiangcheng. These eight places have become places where people gather to celebrate.
Originally, the busiest place in Jiangcheng should be the Universe Center Optics Valley Plaza, but now the university has not started yet, and today, August 31st, is the last day of summer vacation for primary and secondary schools in Jiangcheng. Many students have also been pushed back to bed by their parents.
Logically speaking, the flow of people should be reduced very little.
In fact, Optics Valley Plaza was still packed to the brim.
The Longteng Club specially applied for a venue here and purchased a lot of fireworks. As soon as the Chinese team's game ended, the gorgeous fireworks appeared in the sky.
The most iconic location in Jiangcheng - Jiangtan - near the Jiangcheng City Government has become the core area of mass demonstrations. A large number of fans who come to Jiangcheng from other places have come to this beautiful place.
Like Optics Valley Square, there is also a beautiful fireworks show here, hosted by the Jiangcheng City Government.
Under the light of fireworks, the "Zhiyin" cruise ship on the Yangtze River slowly sailed by. Passionate songs were heard from the ship. The outline of the ship's hull and the reflections of tall buildings were entangled in the river, and occasionally splashed by the waves.
Broken into pieces, it transformed into intoxicating sparkling light.
The marchers on both sides of the river sang loudly in response to the songs. Every man and woman had a smile on their face. The children were placed on the heads of their parents and, like everyone else, they were waving small national flags in their hands.
A scene of great prosperity.
Just like the grand occasion in real life, the Internet in China is also very lively today.
At the beginning of the game, the Chinese team dominated the Uzbekistan team, and the fans were still very happy.
"As soon as I entered the door, I saw Chang Wei beating Laifu. [狗头][狗头][狗头]"
"With all the technical players in the frontcourt, are they preparing to go on a killing spree?"
Disagreements arose as the Chinese team's shot after shot either hit the post, missed slightly, or even missed the target.
"Continue to strengthen the attack and don't relax. The goal is getting closer."
"The front court is picturesque. Ding Huaiyi's foot skills are so good."
These are the fans who have been supporting the national team.
"Please, brothers, stop shooting randomly. The sky above Jiangcheng Sports Center has almost been declared a no-fly zone by the country."
"I originally thought that if I didn't get on the plane, I would be less worried about watching the game, but I didn't expect... We are really worthy of being part of the same team."
Some old onmyojis have already begun to exert their strength.
By the time the halftime was over, a large number of fans on several major platforms had already started to comment on the halftime.
For example, experts like the Boiling Water Temperature in the High-Speed Railway Taihuang app carefully analyzed the Chinese team's tactical layout and personnel arrangements in the first half, the opponent's Uzbekistan team's response method, the impact of the half-time score on the game, and the predictions for the second half.
"Lippi deployed his usual 4-3-3 formation. Facing Uzbekistan, which was not guaranteed to win, Lippi's tactical idea seemed a bit risky before the game."
"Du Zhenyu, who is used in the defense line, has little experience in national team competitions and may become the focus of the opponent's attack. Surprisingly, he is a full-skilled player in the midfield and frontcourt. He has speed and skills, but his confrontational nature is questionable. Of course, Wu Xi is injured.
Reason, but I have always been very optimistic about Qi Ming on the bench, he deserves to be a starting midfielder."
"Although the 4-3-3 formation is on the left when attacking, the full-back Li Xuepeng presses forward, Du Zhenyu moves behind, and Li Yun moves to the left. This is Lippi's treasured 3.5 defender tactic.
Free up an offensive player in the frontcourt, thereby putting more pressure on the opponent's defense."
"Defensively, players from these clubs are very familiar with the high-position pressing that is now popular among several strong teams in the Chinese Super League, and basically do not give the opponent too many opportunities."
"It's a pity that the goal luck was too bad. Several frontcourt players were a little too quick and failed to take the lead."
"In the second half, Coach Lippi should pay more attention to defense, ensure not to concede the ball, and then seek victory. After all, our points position is very comfortable."
It should be said that several major domestic sports apps, such as Boishui, a "netizen" who has always been suspected of being a full-time staff member of a certain media, are still at a certain level.
Halftime comments like his have received high praise, and the domestic fan base has begun to slowly accept the baptism of tactics.
However, after Zhang Linpeng was injured in the second half, the form in the commentary changed. No goals were scored, and the main players retired due to injuries, which cast a shadow over the game.
"What kind of luck is it? The front keeps jerking off, and the back starts to get hurt. Is our country going to die?"
"Think about more than ten years ago, when the Chinese team's level was still good, it was often a good situation, but suddenly collapsed due to unexpected events. Isn't it normal?"
Some people have already begun to back down.
"Zhang Moss has such a body. Lippi has the nerve to let him play as the main force and just play in the second and third tier foreign leagues. Is the gold plating of studying abroad so effective?"
Some people turned on the ginseng cock, questioning the players and coaches.
When Du Zhenyu was sent off with a red card, the scene suddenly changed.
"666. It's begun. A familiar scene appears."
"The black x minute is about to reappear. Fans can fill in this x by themselves, haha."
"The 21-year-old central defender played in key games. Is there no one left in Chinese football? Or are they getting paid?"
"Haha, seeing that the points are still good, the players probably bought the ball. You see, the ones in front are not scoring goals and are letting things go. What I didn't expect is that Uzbekistan is so bad that they don't even score goals, so they can only let the central defender come.
Performed."
"Hey, I predicted that something would go wrong when Zhang Linpeng was injured earlier, and I predicted it."
Suddenly, all kinds of trolls, conspiracy masters, and prophets appeared one after another.
Until the Chinese team scored in the 86th minute, except for a few fans who continued to comment and cheer for the Chinese team, ridicule became the mainstream.
As a result, Nie Jiang's goal gave those fans who are skilled in onmyoji a resounding slap in the face.
"Nie Jiang Niu bbb."
"The Chinese team is awesome."
Among the people who bully people, there are former trolls, conspiracy masters, and prophets.
It can be said that they use the face-changing technique very well.
The response can also be seen in the difference between the fan groups who watch the game in the stadium, go out to celebrate, and those who celebrate online.
