Chapter 9 The Most Important One

The match between China and the Netherlands is the first match in Group E.

Many of the group matches were played at the same time, with Spain and Costa Rica playing at the same time as China and the Netherlands.

Spain is a strong team in Europe, and Costa Rica is also a strong team in the Americas. The match between the two sides is still very attractive, so most foreign fans are paying attention to the game in Spain. As for China and the Netherlands, they think there will be basically no suspense.

But what they didn't expect is that the Chinese team is very tenacious!

Until the second half, when the commentator of another game talked about the game, he kept saying "0-0", "The Chinese team has done a good job in defense, and the Dutch team has never scored."

Some foreign fans are very gloat about the Netherlands not scoring.

But most people don't think that the Chinese team has any hope of winning. After all, the Chinese team has almost no offense, and the Chinese team won the Netherlands?

It's so fantastic!

The next thing is even more mysterious. I only heard the host who explained the Spanish game, and suddenly said in the interval of the game, "Just now, in another group E contest, the Chinese team's striker Wang Qiuming scored the first in the game. The goal, the Chinese team leads the Netherlands 1-0!"

how is this possible!

After hearing the news, a bunch of fans turned around and started watching the game between China and the Netherlands.

Compared to the bland Spanish victory, a big upset is too attractive!

"The Chinese team won in the end?"

"It really won! China won! How could it be possible..."

"Just that football desert country? I know a king. He is the core striker of Atletico Madrid! But the Chinese team with a king will definitely not be bad!"

"Do you all know that this Chinese team is led by Wan Sheng?"

"Wan Sheng? The legendary coach who built the Atletico Madrid dynasty? God! God! He actually went to lead China!"

"He was originally Chinese, so what's so strange about leading his own home team!"

"It's not surprising that China wins, Wansheng is a coach who is good at creating miracles!"

"..."

Many people are on the move. Their first reaction is to ask who the Chinese team is. Undoubtedly the most famous player is Wang Qiuming, but it is difficult for a star to decide a game, just like C-Ronaldo's Portugal team, Portugal There are a lot of stars, but C-Ronaldo can be thrown away, other players are still a lot worse than the strong European teams, so it is difficult for the Portuguese team to play well.

The Chinese team has a Wang Qiuming, far worse than Portugal!

China wins against the Netherlands?

how could be?

So the reason is Wansheng. Wansheng is a legendary coach. The whole world knows that he is good at creating miracles.

It is also a miracle to lead China to defeat the Netherlands now!

During these discussions, the results of the game were being disseminated at an extremely fast speed, and various TV stations also began to broadcast the results of the two teams' matches. Various media participated in and began to analyze the reasons for the Dutch team's loss, but no matter how they analyzed it, the results were different. It has been frozen - the Chinese team upset the Netherlands!

————

The Chinese media and fans are about to explode!

I think that in 2010 and 2017, the Chinese team defeated South Korea twice, which detonated the enthusiasm of Chinese fans.

Chinese fans are really the cutest group of people!

They can bravely accept the Chinese team's poor performance in various competitions, and bravely accept that the Chinese team "creates all kinds of upsets" and loses to weak teams, but as long as the Chinese team can play a wonderful game, they will immediately come over and raise their hands Support, I still remember that in 2017, when the Chinese team defeated South Korea in an international A-level event for the first time in 7 years, for three consecutive days, the news of the Chinese team broke all kinds of news and forums. Comments' can be read all day, and you can imagine how many fans are involved in the discussion.

Now that the Chinese team is participating in the World Cup and defeated the Netherlands in the first group match, the media and fans in China are crazy!

Everyone began to discuss the Chinese team in full swing, discussing each player of the Chinese team, and discussing how much the Chinese team hopes to qualify for the group, etc. Some fans also began to look forward to the Chinese team entering the top 16.

"If China can really qualify for the group, it will be perfect!"

"That's too extravagant! I think it's worth it for the Chinese team to win this game!"

"If I can make it to the top 16, I will watch the Chinese team every day in the future, and I will never drop a game!"

"I also want to see China make history!"

"..."

In the discussion between the media and fans, the Chinese team has ended the celebration, and the players returned to the locker room respectively.

Wansheng went straight to the press conference.

The press conference scene became very lively. Before the start of the game, almost half of the reporters were from China. The number of Dutch media was relatively small, and most of the media from other countries had nothing to do with the game.

It's different now.

Many reporters from other countries came to the scene, and they were all discussing the victory of the Chinese team.

The Netherlands coach Brande entered the venue one step earlier than Wansheng. When he walked in, the venue became much quieter. Everyone looked at Brand. Here today, he is a loser.

No one thought that the Netherlands would lose, including the Dutch media and fans, so at the end of the game, the Dutch fans at the scene shouted, "Brand is out of class!" This made Brand feel very stressed, especially thinking about the game. What he said before, he didn't want to stay for a minute longer.

Participating in press conferences is a FIFA regulation, and he must remain calm and not do anything wrong on the spur of the moment.

After walking to the podium, Brand admitted, "We were careless! I always thought that the only opponent in Group E was Brazil, but I didn't expect the team to lose the first game! The Chinese team performed very well, especially Defensively, we were so anxious to score a goal that we didn't score for 90 minutes."

"We're not doing well!"

"Some players have been saying that the weather is not good, but that is the reason. The Chinese team is not Russia, and they are not adapted to the weather here. We must admit that there are only two reasons for the loss, one is that we are a freshman, and the other is Yes, the opponent played very well.”

"We still have two group matches, I will think about the game with the players, this defeat may be good news, it reminds us that the World Cup is not allowed to be careless."

After saying this, Brand got up and left the venue. It can be seen from his back that this defeat hit him very hard.

But Wan Sheng has no sympathy for the "old man".

"I remember hearing a word before the game saying 'other than Brazil, it's not a big challenge' and they lost, I thought it was a late April Fool's gift, but it was a surprise!"

"Yes, I admit, winning is a surprise for us and for the whole of Chinese football! I'm happy to see the team win, but it's in my plan."

Wan Sheng clenched his fist, "Yes, in my plan, I said before that the Chinese team is the most promising team in the group, and I still say it now, we proved this with our victory."

"Winning the Netherlands is just the beginning, we have to keep working hard. It is not easy to qualify in E, I think the team should pay more attention to Mexico, which is an easy opponent. We will also concentrate on preparing for the second game! "

Wansheng's words made the Chinese media very proud!

did you see!

This is the coach of the Chinese team, and what he says is imposing!

"Winning is in my plan!"

"We are the team with the most hope of qualifying!"

"Winning the Netherlands is just the beginning!"

Look at the speechless foreign media colleagues around, Chinese media reporters feel very proud!

Before the game, Wan Sheng expressed the same meaning, but it was more interpreted as "improving morale", or "a kind of personality of Wan Sheng".

Now many foreign reporters are speechless, because the Chinese team proved what Wansheng said with a victory. Almost no one is optimistic that the Chinese team can beat the Netherlands, but in the end the Chinese team did it. Now they can only listen and have no power make a rebuttal.

This is a vital victory!

Not only for the Chinese media and fans, but also for the entire Chinese team. Most players in the team do not actually recognize the strength of the team. They think that the Chinese team is at the bottom of the 32 teams in the World Cup, and it must be the best in Group E. A weak team.

This kind of thinking is very dangerous, especially when the team is in an unfavorable situation, the players may think, "We are a weak team anyway, and it is normal to lose." The thinking also affects the performance of the players, and recently affects the entire team. play.

But for the Chinese team, it is not enough to overdo it. The Chinese team is not a strong team in the world, and there is still a gap between its strength and the first-class strong team. The most important thing for this victory is to let all players realize, "We still have a strong team. Hard work!"

"Even a world-class team could lose to us if we can perform well!"

After Wansheng returned to the locker room, he emphasized this point to everyone, "We won! It's not surprising, I said before the game, as long as everyone puts in 100% efforts, we have a chance to win. of!"

"The Netherlands is not invincible, Brazil is the same, so are other top teams in the world. They are not invincible. No matter what opponent we face, we will not be defeated. The result depends on the performance of both sides, but what we have to do That is, in every game in the future, we will work hard until the last minute! As long as there is a little hope, we will seize it, so that we will be the strongest!"

"We won the first game, very happy, but now is not the time to celebrate, tomorrow we will start preparing for the second game, Mexico, they are not easy to deal with, but you should know that this is the most important thing for us to win the group. one!"

Many players nodded.

At the press conference, Wansheng also said the same. In line with his previous words, the media interpreted it as 'Wansheng is full of confidence in future games, and the Chinese team will work hard for every game', but in fact, Wansheng Just emphasizing, "Mexico is a good fight..."

The three opponents in Group E, the Netherlands has already won, and the Chinese team has successfully scored three points, so there are only two opponents left. If the Chinese team wants to qualify steadily, they have to win at least one game, and the team with Brazil The game is full of uncertainty. After all, Brazil is the world's top team and one of the biggest favorites to win the World Cup. Their strength is very strong. If the Chinese team wants to beat Brazil, it is no easier than defeating the Netherlands.

It depends on the spot to play, but also depends on a lot of luck.

Even if Wansheng leads the team, it is impossible to change this. After all, there is a huge gap in capability between the two sides.

So if you want to qualify from the group, you must seize the game against Mexico. As long as the Chinese team wins six points, it is very likely to qualify.
