Chapter 24 (The Finale)
After the game, the German players couldn't help but sigh: "We lost to the head coach of the Chinese team, there is absolutely no way!"
"No one can think of it, can you think of it?"
"Maybe we'll feel short for going through this game, and even though we lost, we saw the impossible happen right before our eyes..."
"When I get back to Germany, I will tell my friends and family that I am proud to play in this game, and although we lost, there is no way to switch to any team!"
"I was thinking that FIFA should ban the coach from playing, or outright ban Wan Sheng from playing. It is unfair for other teams to play because he is so good!"
"I know Messi, Ronaldo, Bell, and of course Ozil, Wang Qiuming, and I don't have too much pressure to play with them on the field, but Wansheng feels different, I believe him The best football player on the planet."
"If you tell me now that he is from Mars, a Martian, I will believe it."
The sigh of the German players is also the sigh of all the fans around the world, even the Chinese fans, because no one could imagine that Wansheng has such good skills and such a good performance, scoring three personal goals in 20 minutes The ball is simply unimaginable.
After the game Wansheng became the absolute protagonist.
A group of players surrounded him, vying to talk about his performance, which was more interesting than victory.
Soon the reporters also came. Hundreds of reporters came forward, piled up in the mixed area of the stadium, all wanting to interview Wan Sheng, Wan Sheng said calmly, "I never said that I can't play football, and I know that I The technology is very good, but he has not participated in the official competition."
"Participating in this competition, I found that I have a deeper understanding of myself. There is a saying that is good, there is no judgment without practice, and I found that I am still very good."
"Then will you play in the next game?"
The reporters are very concerned about this issue. If Wansheng wants to continue to play, then the strength of the Chinese team must be re-evaluated.
Without Wansheng, the Chinese team has outstanding stars such as Wang Qiuming and Wang Xiaolei, who can compete with the world's top teams.
What if there is Wansheng?
That must be a very strong team, and as the German team proved in the last 20 minutes, they even entered the world class directly.
Wan Sheng thought about it for a while, and finally said seriously, "I don't think I will play again!"
This answer is disappointing.
"In fact, before the World Cup opened, I had a clear goal in mind, that is, the semi-finals. We did it. I don't think it is necessary to play by ourselves. Next, it depends on the performance of the team."
"If we can win the championship, it is the credit of the whole team. I am not the only one in the Chinese team. I am not a professional football player, but a coach. Coaches and players are different. The development is also different, a championship doesn't bring much, and we came to the World Cup and already got what we wanted."
Wan Sheng's speech made many people feel regretful. They all hope that Wan Sheng can continue to play in the competition, so that the Chinese team will have a chance to compete for the championship.
But in fact, this is what Wansheng thought.
It is his dream in past and present life to become a professional player and play on behalf of the Chinese team, but in this life, he is a football coach, not a professional player. One appearance is enough. He hopes to rely on the strength of the Chinese team to win the championship. Not by his own abilities.
What can one do?
Before the start of the World Cup, Wan Sheng told the media that the Chinese team is a team with the goal of winning the championship, but in fact, Wan Sheng never thought about winning the championship at all costs. As far as the development of football is concerned, it makes no sense at all. Winning the championship at any cost may also make Chinese football fall into a deformed development.
This time I came out to help myself, what about next time?
Chinese football cannot always rely on a few stars. To develop, it must rely on the grassroots, on the whole, and on the enthusiasm of the entire nation for football.
The Chinese team has achieved its goal by entering the semi-finals.
No matter whether it is the first, second or fourth place, as long as the Chinese team can enter the semi-finals, the goal will be accomplished, which is equivalent to injecting a boost to Chinese football.
Wansheng does not need to be the champion, he is just a leader in football development. He believes that in the next few years, there will definitely be a football boom in China. There will be more young people who dream of becoming professional players, and there will be more of families support their children to play football, and with the support of national policies, the professional football system will also become more complete.
Chinese football will develop along a normal trajectory.
That was his dream!
————
The Chinese team entered the semi-finals, setting off a domestic football wave, but many fans still hope that the Chinese team can go further.
Under such public opinion, Wansheng led China to usher in the semi-final opponent-Portugal.
Portugal, which has C-Ronaldo, has performed very well in recent years, but in the end they lost to the fighting spirit of the Chinese team.
Perhaps from this moment, C-Ronaldo has a deeper resentment for Wansheng... But no matter what, the two sides are opponents on the field. If the Chinese team wants to go further, they must defeat Portugal.
The Chinese team successfully approached the final!
This is a major event in history and an achievement worthy of national celebration.
What makes Wansheng gratified is that he did not put himself in the squad, but the Chinese team still defeated the opponent, which proves the strength of the team. He is very strong personally, but that is not good for Chinese football at all.
After that, the Chinese team met Argentina in the final. Argentina, with Messi and Di Maria, played quite well. They eliminated Spain in the semi-final and successfully advanced to the World Cup final.
Argentina's strength is indeed very strong, their gorgeous offensive makes the Chinese team's defense a little stretched, and the premature loss of the ball makes the situation very passive.
After the final 90 minutes, the Chinese team lost to Argentina 0-2 in the final, failing to realize their dream of winning the championship.
For the Chinese team, the ending is a bit sad, but Wansheng, and even all Chinese fans, are proud of the Chinese team's achievements.
After the runner-up award ceremony, Wan Sheng left Moscow and returned home alone.
He wasn't with the players.
From the finals, when he saw all the players working hard, he knew that this team actually no longer needed him.
At the moment of the end of the game, he is equivalent to resigning as the head coach of the Chinese team, and Fan Zhiyi will continue to lead the Chinese team forward.
After returning to China, Wansheng began to immerse himself.
He no longer fights for business or football, but just spends leisure time with Anita. Gradually, apart from occasionally seeing Wansheng's name on the rich list, he almost disappeared from the public eye. .
Soon ten years have passed...
The name Wansheng is still remembered by many fans, but he seems to have nothing to do with football.
But did he really do nothing?
In a manor on the outskirts of London, Wan Sheng sat on a reclining chair, squinting at a boy playing football on the turf.
The boy placed a car tire dozens of meters away, and then kicked the ball far into the center of the tire with one kick.
If outsiders were to see it, they would definitely be horrified by the boy's technique.
At this moment, a group of people walked in talking, Wan Sheng stood up to meet him, and said with a smile, "Brooklyn, you're here."
It is David Beckham's son Brooklyn who has come here. He has lost the childishness of his youth, inherited the football genes of the Beckham family, and has become one of the world's largest stars. He still plays for Atletico Madrid.
"Hello, Uncle Wansheng." Brooklyn greeted him. He brought his wife with him. The two married three years ago and gave birth to a lovely baby.
After Brooklyn arrived, he stood with Wansheng and watched the boys' football performance on the turf.
One ball after another, he was kicked into the tires of the car dozens of meters away.
"Is this a hero?" Brooklyn's eyes widened, his mouth slightly exaggerated, "If he goes to Madrid, I believe the world will soon know about it!"
"I believe it too. He's definitely going to be better than me."
Wan Sheng was also pleased with his son's growth. He looked at Brooklyn and said, "I'll give Hero to you, let him stay in the youth team for a full year before entering the first team, he needs a lot of experience. ."
"Don't worry, Uncle Wansheng!"
Brooklyn kept nodding, and with Wan Xiong joining in, he felt that Atletico Madrid was about to regain the glory of the dynasty that year.
"He's sure to shock the world!"
"affim!"
