Chapter 6 The National Anthem Sings

The TV was still playing Chile's second goal over and over again, and Duan Xin and Zhang Lu were still analyzing the reasons why the Chinese team lost the ball...

But all this can only make the Chinese fans in front of the TV more frustrated.

Since the group results came out at the end of last year, there has been a pessimistic mood among Chinese fans. Because this group is too strong.

Chile is the only soft persimmon they expect to be able to pinch.

As a result, this soft persimmon has now given the Chinese team two heavy blows, which even the Chinese team and Chinese fans have not recovered from.

If even Chile can't win, how can the Chinese team qualify?

Next, if we play the Netherlands without Zhou Yi, can we win? It’s simply a fantasy.

In the third game, can Spain, which is fighting a last-ditch battle, win? I'm afraid it's not optimistic either.

There was an outcry on the Internet.

"...The weakest team in this group turns out to be ourselves..."

"The impact of losing Zhou Yi is far greater than those analysts think! Because Zhou Yi's significance to the Chinese team is definitely not just tactical. Look at how panicked the Chinese team was after conceding the first goal without him. What if? With Zhou Yi here, I believe we will never concede a second goal! This is my opinion as a Dortmund and Chinese team fan!"

"Fuck! What a **** thing the national football team is playing! From the beginning of the game, they were completely suppressed and beaten by the opponent, and there was no counterattack at all!"

"I just said that after we are sure to enter the World Cup, we should replace Gao Hongbo with a more capable foreign coach... I am not a fan of foreigners, but in the football world, foreign coaches are better than our local coaches. ...If we could change the coach from that time, and then re-formulate preparation plans and ideas, and spend another year training, I believe we would not be able to perform like this now, right?"

"Alas, the media is still boasting about the 'strongest Chinese team in history'. It seems that they still can't even get the right to qualify for the group... What is the strongest in history? Let's talk about it if we can advance by one goal!"

"Before the game, I felt that my opponent was the only soft persimmon in the group and could be pinched casually. We were all looking forward to victory. But after the game started, I found that I couldn't pinch it at all... This script looks very familiar. I watched it at the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea. pass……"

"I haven't watched the national football team for a long time. I heard that there are several talented people who are very good at playing overseas. I excitedly turned on the TV today and planned to watch the 'strongest Chinese team in history.'

As a result, I saw such a piece of rubbish! It seems that I still overestimated Chinese football. The national football team is really too mud to hold up the wall. Forget it, turn off the TV! I was very angry when I saw it! "

…

The game has restarted, and the Chinese team, which has conceded two goals in a row, still looks very passive when facing Chile.

Not dominant in the scene.

The Chilean team, with high morale, continued to attack the Chinese team's goal and threatened the goal guarded by Sun Pan.

Fortunately, Sun Pan's characteristics are destined, and the more adverse situations he encounters, the better he will perform.

After conceding two goals, he quickly recovered from the blow.

He used two wonderful saves to ensure that the Chinese team did not lose any more goals.

Although Sun Pan saved the team, the situation did not improve.

The Chinese team is still at a disadvantage, and there are no signs of improvement for the time being.

National team coach Lippi stood on the sidelines, frowning and looking solemn. Apparently he also found the situation difficult.

The Internet was full of curses and lamentations, the commentator was worried, and the famous coach felt that the situation was difficult...

At this moment, Zhou Yi, who was sitting on the bench, suddenly stood up and walked to the sidelines. He did not yell, but just stood on the sidelines and stared at the stadium.

Although he didn't speak, his presence on the sidelines was an eye-catching thing.

At this time, a dead ball happened to appear on the court, and players from both sides noticed Zhou Yi's presence.

When the Chinese team players saw Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi put his hands down on his waist and made a "don't panic" gesture.

Lippi also noticed Zhou Yi's move. He turned to look at Zhou Yi without making any sound or action.

※※※

"Zhou Yi walked to the sidelines... He made a 'don't panic' gesture to his teammates... Zhou Yi was definitely not as calm as we saw. Although he couldn't play, he still tried his best to help on the sidelines. Team! The Chinese team has reached its most dangerous moment, we need someone to step up! Zhou Yi stepped up, the real core can still play his role even if he is not on the court!"

Duan Xin was very excited when she saw this scene.

It was not just him who was excited, but also the tens of thousands of Chinese fans present. Some of them were overseas Chinese in Brazil, employees of Chinese-funded institutions, and international students. Some of them flew thousands of miles from China to Brazil to cheer for the Chinese team. Cheering die-hard fans.

Soon, faint singing rang out from the stands where Chinese fans gathered in the Pantanal Arena.

The singing was not very neat at first, but soon, when every Chinese fan realized what the song was, they immediately joined in the chorus.

"...Get up! People who don't want to be slaves! Forge our new Great Wall with our flesh and blood! The Chinese nation has arrived! The most dangerous time! Everyone is forced to let out the last roar - Get up! Get up! Get up! We Unite as one, brave the enemy's artillery fire! Advance! Brave the enemy's artillery fire, advance! Advance! Advance! Advance!"

The national anthem of the People's Republic of China is perfectly appropriate to be used here.

The majestic singing swept over the Pantanal Arena, reaching the ears of the players on the court with great clarity, and was also transmitted to China thousands of miles away through satellite signals.

The Chinese fans in front of the TV couldn't help but sing along, even though their singing was impossible to hear.

The national anthem brings peace and morale to the players of the Chinese team. On the one hand, it calms them down, and on the other hand, it makes them motivated and excited.

When the game resumed from a dead-ball state, it was the Chinese team that took control of the ball. With the national anthem chorus of the fans in the stands as the background music, they launched an attack on the Chilean goal.

In the end, He Ying completed the shot.

Although the ball was shot too straight, it was held in the arms of goalkeeper Bravo and did not result in a goal.

But after all, this is the first shot of the Chinese team in this game. This is a beginning, not an end.

On the sidelines, Lippi walked back to his seat after the attack and said to his assistant: "Gao is right. The real leader of this team is Zhou Yi. Even a world-famous coach cannot shake him." His status.”

The assistant nodded and said: "Thank you Gao, he told us all these things. This is really helpful to our work..."

※※※

The Chinese team completed the first shot. Although there was no goal, everyone seemed to be alive.

When Chile launched an attack, Sanchez turned his back to the direction of the attack and wanted to turn around and wipe the football away.

But this time, his ball was broken off by Yang Muge's neat kick, and his own feet were mixed with garlic, and it went out crookedly.

No foul, clean action.

After stealing the ball, Yang Muge immediately passed the football to Zheng Zhi.

"Good goal! Yang Muge defended the ball beautifully! Sanchez wanted to use the same trick against Yang Muge, but he underestimated Schalke 04's main midfielder!" Duan Xin said this with pride in his tone. and pride.

"Yes, this is Yang Muge's normal level." Zhang Lu next to her was also very happy.

When the Chinese team gradually returns to normal, it will be difficult for the Chilean team to completely suppress the Chinese team on the scene. Now the two sides are fighting back and forth, attacking and defending each other. The game is finally back to normal...

This caused domestic fans who were previously disappointed with the Chinese team to change their tune and cheer for the team online.

"The Chinese team wakes up!"

"This is the Chinese team we want to see!"

"Yang Muge is handsome! Tell those trolls! This is the true level of our old Yang! He is a defender who can make even Zhou Yi feel depressed in the Ruer derby!"

"Sanchez actually wants to do it again? Doesn't he know that for Saints, the same trick cannot be used twice?"

"Come on, Team China! Listen to the national anthem. Those who have come all the way to cheer you on have not given up. The game has only started for ten minutes, how can you give up?! Don't forget, you made a promise to Zhou Yi It will never make his comeback meaningless!"

…

No matter how they scolded them before, Chinese fans still want to see the Chinese team perform well. The previous scolding was just the anger of "hating iron but not steel".

But once the team performs well, they will never be stingy with their enthusiasm.
