Looking at these videos in his playlist, Xie Lan smiled with satisfaction.
From today to the next few days before the finals, she relied solely on these videos.
Watch the video, read the comments, and see how netizens praise her son.
Everyone on the Internet talks so nicely, and she loves surfing the Internet!
Seeing his wife holding the phone and having fun, Hu Lixin shook his head helplessly.
He is also happy for the Chinese team to reach the World Cup finals and happy for his son's performance.
But his excitement could not last that long.
Perhaps because of his professional habits as a head coach, he has already begun to think about the formation and tactical arrangements for the next World Cup final.
First of all, it is necessary to determine the opponent of the Chinese team in the final.
Another World Cup semi-final begins tonight, between Argentina and Italy.
Italy has an excellent defensive system and a superb goalkeeper Albertazzi. However, their scoring ability is worrying. If they only think about a penalty shootout from the beginning of the game, there is a question mark whether they can withstand Argentina's offense.
Argentina has a strong offensive lineup. Except for the slightly weaker defense, the midfield and frontcourt are very strong. But what if they are attacked by Italy in a sneak attack?
Thinking of this, he simply wrote down his guessed starting lineups for Argentina and Italy on paper, and then thought about the lineups of the two teams in his mind.
Until Li Ziqiang came up and asked, "Lao Hu, what are you doing?"
Hu Lixin looked back and saw Li Ziqiang and explained: "I was thinking about how Argentina and Italy will play tonight..."
Li Ziqiang took a careful look at the starting lineup listed by Hu Lixin, then held his chin and fell into deep thought.
The two of them were like two retired old men playing chess in a street park. They stared at the simple "chessboard" and started "talking on paper".

After the initial excitement, Chinese fans naturally began to pay attention to who their opponent would be in the final.
This semi-final between Argentina and Italy has attracted as much attention around the world as yesterday's game.
It's also a strong dialogue, with a lot of suspense.
Before the end of the game, no one could tell which side would win the game.
Argentina has Argentina’s strengths, and Italy also has Italy’s strengths.
And the final results of both teams also depend on the performance of the core members of their respective teams.
Argentina relies on Melli, while Italy depends on Albertazzi.
Italy has not conceded a goal in this World Cup so far, and Albertazzi takes the greatest credit.
He is the goalkeeper with the most effective saves in this World Cup and the most key saves.
Argentina's core Melli has currently scored four goals and is tied for second place in the World Cup scorer list with Darren Hunt and Kabangka - the first place is undoubtedly Hulay, who scored 11 goals.
Although Melly's number of goals is far less than Hulay, he also has two assists. Argentina has scored a total of ten goals in this World Cup so far, and Melli has scored six goals, accounting for half of Argentina's offense.
In the words of Melli's extreme fans: "...Melli is the heart and brain of the Argentine national team. He can help the team finalize the decision with goals, and can also increase the team's scoring points with assists. He can use his dribbling and movement to activate the team's midfield and frontcourt offense. This kind of all-around quality that is top in history cannot be achieved by some data brush who only sucks the blood of the whole team!"
How he performs directly determines Argentina's final result in this World Cup.
Chinese fans are paying attention to this game mainly because they are choosing opponents for the Chinese team in the final.
Whether it is Argentina or Italy, there are stories with the Chinese team.
First choice: Argentina.
Although it is the era of the "Big Three", since Hulay transferred to Madrid Pirates in the 2027-2028 season and was in La Liga with Melli, the competition between the two has been the main theme of today's football for seven years.
Who is stronger, Hu Lai, or Meili?
Around this topic, fans from both sides and celebrity media are divided into two factions, arguing endlessly.
If the final is played against Argentina, it is very likely that this final will bring an end to this hot topic that has lasted for seven years.
Both are thirty-one years old, and this World Cup can be said to be the pinnacle of their careers.
Whoever can defeat the opponent and win the World Cup can completely dominate the opponent.
So if we play Argentina in the final, it will be a head-to-head confrontation between Hulay and Melli. If Hulay wins, he can surpass Melli to become the number one player in football.
This is the result that Chinese fans most want to see.
Second choice: Italy.
Italy's overall strength is weaker than Argentina, but its defense is T0 in this World Cup.
And Italy is also a target that the Chinese team needs revenge-the Chinese team was defeated by Italy in the group stage of the last World Cup.
So if they meet Italy this time, it will be a "battle of revenge" for the Chinese team.
Moreover, Hulay and Albertazzi can also be regarded as a competition between the strongest spear and the strongest shield.
In the last World Cup, Hulay scored in almost every game except one.
That was the game against Italy.
So without Albertazzi, Hulay's consecutive scoring record in the World Cup should actually be twelve games instead of the current nine games.
If he meets Albertazzi again, will Hulay be able to break through the "iceberg" in the World Cup and "avoid shame"?
If Italy reaches the final, then the battle between Julay and Melli will be over in advance - if Melli can't even win against Italy, what qualifications do you have to compete with Julay as the strongest?
With these stories, the match between the Chinese team and Italy is actually interesting to watch.
Whether to fuck Melli or Albertazzi in the final, Chinese fans are divided into two groups.
And they all have their own reasons.
Some people are tired of watching Hu Lai's scenes of always beating Meili. They feel that there is nothing new and they are tired of aesthetics. They still want to watch something fresh.
Others believe that since they are competing for the title of the strongest, then of course they must defeat their direct competitor Melli head-on in the finals, which will better reflect the gold content of this title.
People who support Albertazzi in the final believe that if Melli can't even win against Albertazzi, then if Hulay wins against Albertazzi, doesn't it also mean that he wins against Melli? It also has a high gold content.
Some people are more superstitious and think it is best to beat Argentina in the final. Because in this World Cup, every team that wants revenge will lose in the end. If the Chinese team wants to seek revenge from Italy, it will be a disaster...
Not to mention such metaphysical reasons, it has won the support of many people. Because there are indeed too many metaphysical issues in the World Cup.
In addition to the hot topic that the Chinese team reached the World Cup finals, the second most popular topic on the Internet the day after the game was who the Chinese team's opponent in the finals was.
Looking at the grand occasion, I thought that no matter who it was, the Chinese team would definitely win.
It has to be said that after defeating the defending champion Brazil in the semi-finals, the confidence of Chinese fans was soaring and has almost reached its peak.
Chinese fans believe that no matter who the opponent is, this Chinese team will definitely win.
The World Cup championship, which was previously unimaginable, has now become a goal that everyone is dreaming about.
It is really the swallow in front of the Wang Xietang in the old days, flying into the homes of ordinary people...
With such emotions, everyone ushered in the semi-final between Argentina and Italy.

"...We have only one purpose in this game, and that is to reach the final. Italy's defense is very strong, but our offense is stronger! The final victory will definitely belong to Argentina! We have to put pressure on their goal from the beginning of the game , full firepower! It doesn’t matter whether the one standing in front of the goal is an 'iceberg' or a 'volcano'! Run over it!"
Argentina head coach Lucas Feisol was in the locker room doing final mobilization for all players before the game.
At the same time, the head coach of the Italian national team, Matteo Caviglia, is also encouraging the players:
"In this game, we must let the whole world see our determination and perseverance! Argentina's offense is very strong? Then let them hit the wall! We have made all preparations for this game. Four years ago we We could beat them, and we can still do it four years later!”
