Duan Xuan heard Liu Jianhong's statement and realized that it was actually the case.
Suddenly, an idea came to his mind, and he continued excitedly: "If, I say if, if Germany loses in the second round of the group match with Serbia later, then we will firmly rank first in the group.
In other words, we will have an absolute advantage in the final round of group matches that will be held at the same time."
Of course, he didn't finish his sentence.
If Germany really loses to Serbia, then the Chinese team can qualify as long as they tie in the final round of the group stage, but being able to qualify with a tie is not a good sign for Chinese football.
And in a sense, qualifying with a draw is completely equivalent to being eliminated for the Chinese team, so I would like to say the rest on this day of national celebration.
"No matter what, it is gratifying and congratulatory for China to rank first in Group D at this moment.
Come on, Team China."
At this moment, countless fans sitting in front of the TV were dancing with joy, even the older generation of fans.
Especially the sentence "No matter what, at this moment our China has become the first in Group D" from the TV.
Everyone knows that it is the first time for the Chinese team to participate in the World Cup finals to win the first place in the group.
It is nothing more than a dream. , being able to qualify second in the group is already an extraordinary performance.
He wants to win the first place despite losing to the German team in the first round. impossible But the Chinese have always paid attention to auspiciousness, which should at least sound comfortable, especially if it is on the outside.
The camera returned to the Royal Bafokeng Stadium.
Aiello, who scored one goal and assisted another, naturally became the best player in the game.
Therefore, the focus of the media reporters on the scene was all about him.
He was able to perform well continuously in the quadrennial gluttonous feast, and It is even more admirable to perform brilliantly in consecutive starts while recovering from serious injuries.
Soon, Aiello was surrounded by enthusiastic reporters from various countries.
Therefore, he had to accept relevant interviews from reporters.
When asked about the prospects of the Chinese team qualifying, he was as confident as his answer before the game: "For us, qualifying is not as difficult as imagined.
As long as everyone works hard, we can win the game."
Victory, it turns out that our Chinese team also has strong strength.
I believe that after the third round of the group stage, we will occupy one of the qualifying spots."
The Chinese reporters who were about to interview did not mention how happy they were.
They were already excited that the Chinese team could qualify for the World Cup finals, but now Ai Luo said that the Chinese team will still occupy one of the qualifying spots.
That is really the spring of Chinese football.
Four hours later, the match between the German team and Serbia ended.
Countless Chinese fans who paid attention to the German team's results did not recover for a long time.
CCTV started broadcasting the Bundesliga live in the 1990s and it has been 2010 for fifteen years.
These years are enough for a little guy to grow into a strong young man.
Therefore, the number of fans watching the Bundesliga live broadcast extends from the club to the national team. level, there are also a large number of loyal fans of the German national team in China.
In the match between the Chinese team and the German team, it was normal to side with the national team, but in the match between the German team and Serbia, they naturally returned to support the German team.
What disappointed them was that the German team unexpectedly lost to Serbia 0:1. , in which Klose accumulated two yellow cards and was sent off, and Podolski also failed to hit the target with a penalty kick.
After the result of Germany's loss came out, the initiative to qualify in the group unexpectedly fell to the Chinese team.
Now the four teams in Group D all have three points with one win and one loss, which means that all four teams have won the group stage.
Possibility of getting in and out.
However, due to the qualifying rules of the World Cup group stage with the same points, the four teams have specific rankings.
The Chinese team ranks first with a goal difference.
The German team and Serbia both have a zero goal difference.
However, the German team has a higher number of goals. ranked second, Serbia ranked third, and Ghana ranked fourth with a goal difference.
In the last round, China faced Serbia, which was third in the group, while Germany faced Ghana in the last round.
That is to say, no matter what the result of the other game was in the final round of the group stage at the same time, the Chinese team only had to face Serbia.
If you don't lose the game, you can rely on the goal difference to get the right to qualify for a group.
When this theory appeared, many Chinese fans were excited, but it didn't take long for their hearts to thump.
The dark history of the Chinese men's football team can be seen in many examples of qualifying with a draw and being eliminated.

In the last group stage of the 1985 World Cup finals in Italy, they lost to China 1:2 when they could qualify with a draw.
Hong Kong, four years later, could qualify if it tied with Qatar and was eliminated again 1:2.
In the 2007 Southeast Asian Cup, after winning Malaysia and drawing with Iran, it only needed to draw with Uzbekistan to qualify.
The result was a 0:3 defeat.
For example, in the 1980, 1992 and 1996 Olympic men's football qualifiers, only a draw in the last round could qualify, but they were all defeated.
Scenes of tragic experiences have made the older generation of Chinese fans subconsciously associate the words "a draw means you can qualify" to "a draw".
In fact, it is no wonder that the older generation of fans have this idea.
Although past history does not represent the future, it will at least have a certain psychological impact on what is about to happen.
What is Koreanphobia, Japanesephobia, and Islamophobia?
Therefore, many games against South Korea, Japan, and Iran are timid about three-pointers before they even start.
How can we play in the next games?
A generation of old people is replaced by a new generation, and the ideas of the older generation are also well passed on to the hearts of modern young people.
As a result, in less than five minutes after the German team lost an upset 0:1 to Serbia, countless controversial posts appeared on the Chinese Internet The next day, all reports in China's physical newspapers focused on the legendary words in Chinese football history: A tie will lead to qualifying.
The news report center of national media outside China is the most bizarre scene that has occurred in this World Cup so far.
Germany and Ghana, which won the first round of Group D, both lost in the second round, which caused the two rounds of the same group to pass.
In the case of dead ends, one win and one loss are all points for three points.
In the end, the specific ranking is determined by goal difference and number of goals scored.
French Football, which has an official cooperation with the World Cup in South Africa, reported this on the day: "Before the start of the second round of Group D, no one dared to imagine that there would be a dead end, and no one thought that the Chinese team with Ai would actually be in After losing one game first, they defeated the German team by virtue of their goal difference and ranked first in Group D.
One, that is to say, after the third round of Group D, it is very likely that the two teams will be tied with four points.
This situation is extremely rare in the history of the World Cup finals.
It once happened in the 1994 World Cup in the United States.
Such a strange appearance, in the end, the final promotion places were decided based on goal difference and number of goals scored.”
The authoritative German newspaper Kicker once again publicly questioned Loew's team performance after criticism of Germany's narrow victory over China: "Loew still made no adjustments to the team after narrowly defeating the Chinese team in the first round, so that the team's offense was completely defeated by Serbia.
To resolve, Klose's red card may be a good excuse, but losing is losing.
In the final round, the only way to win is to win.
Ghana has a chance of qualifying, and Germany is really dangerous.
If you are not careful, you may be unable to advance.
You must know that except for 1930 and 1950, we did not participate in the finals.
The group of every World Cup This is our glorious tradition, but the game that ended yesterday made me unable to see the future of the team."
However, according to Germany's group rankings, like China, they can get the right to qualify if they tie.
It's just that the arrogant Germans don't bother to qualify for a draw.
What they need is to hold their heads high and advance to the top 16 as the first in the group.
Of course, there is another meaning If the German team wants to avoid England, the strongest team in Group C, in the 18th final, it must win first place in Group D.
Otherwise, it will be very likely that this German team, which has not found its best form, will face the England team.
Only the result of elimination The English media, which has always had a bad relationship with Germany, will naturally not miss this opportunity to ridicule him.
The headline of the Times that day said: "Where did the German team that promised to advance to the top 16 with three consecutive wins in the group before the start of the World Cup go?
They relied on luck to narrowly defeat the Chinese team 3:2 in the first round of the group.
In the second round Luck finally ran out in the game, and the German team, which failed to score a penalty kick, lost to Serbia 0:1, breaking out its third upset after Spain lost 0:1 to Switzerland and France lost 0:2 to Uruguay.
The Group D ranking is even behind the Chinese team with a goal difference disadvantage.”
After ridiculing the German team, there was naturally praise for Aiello: "Sure enough, as everyone said before the game, the Chinese team with Ai Luo is completely equal to the world's second-rate team, and FIFA rated the best of the match after the game.
It is also the best compliment for him.
He led the Chinese team to a 3:1 victory over Ghana, which is a good proof.
He passed the two rounds of the group stage.
Last time, it ranked first in Group D with a goal difference advantage.
This means that the Chinese team only needs to score points in the third round of the group stage to qualify for the group.

Of course, if it is the top scorer in the World Cup If Ai can exert 100% of his ability, it is not impossible to defeat Serbia in the final round and become the first in the group."
In fact, in the mind of Robert Thomson, editor-in-chief of The Times, he would rather encounter the poor German team in the 18th final.
The Chinese team with Ai Luo sincerely scares him.
At this time, the Chinese team was ready to take a flight to Nesplit, Mpumalanga.
They will play their final group match against Serbia at the local Mbombela Stadium four days later
