When the game was stopped by the referee, many of the Argentine players sat on the ground, not only did they break the record of four consecutive clean sheets, but they were almost tied and they were exhausted in the last 20 minutes.It's not Argentina three years ago, when they weren't as strong as they are now, failing to concede a goal in four of their seven games at the World Youth Championships.But the growth rate of these Chinese is even more amazing, especially the Rey who shot the goal without saying a word after being provoked!
Although the Chinese team members are also regretful, they are not disappointed.It's not that we don't want to win, it's that everyone is fighting to the limit.Wang Ai's physical fitness has already been in deficit, otherwise he would not be easily injured, although the injury is not serious, he can still persevere, but he has to be held by Zhao Xuri when he walks down.Compared with the calm mood of the players, the Chinese fans who do not know the truth are much sadder.They didn't know that the Chinese team had done their best, and they didn't know that the Argentine team had actually "released water" in the first 20 minutes of the second half, so many fans kept shouting and cheering hoarsely in the stands, especially when Wang Ai scored three goals in a row, they thought they could win.But the cruel final whistle finally sounded, and the regret in the hearts of many people was beyond measure.A large number of neutral fans at the scene, the local fans in Athens were originally on the side of Argentina, who let the Chinese team eliminate the Greek team.But they were shocked by the Chinese team's catch-up in the second half, so when Wang Ai and the others whispered and walked to the sidelines, applause suddenly rang out.The big dark horse of the Chinese team lived up to the name of "dark horse" after all, the first to break through the powerful Argentine goal, the second, the third, and the fourth!
Although he failed to perform the dark horse miracle to the end, he was proud enough.Argentina is as strong as ever, and it has never been weaker.And the little-known Chinese team is the existence that surprises people.Wang Ai looked up in surprise amid the applause, only to find that many fans were applauding at them.Wang Ai scratched his face, a little surprised, we lost, right?
It took 12 percent of the performance to get to this point, and Argentina used 80 percent of the effort."
What's the matter?"
Captain Dewey came over and patted Wang Ai on the shoulder, helped him to walk under the stands, and greeted the fans, especially the Chinese fans who were so emotional that they wiped their tears."
I still lost after all."
In the live broadcast room of CCTV in Beijing, there was silence for a long time, and Liu Jianhong couldn't help but sigh with emotion.Zhang Lu couldn't help but say "hehe" twice: "It's not that we didn't pursue it, I have to say, it's almost."
It's all in the top four, so what's going on?
The professional league can pay for a 'Kaiserslauten miracle', but which national team do you think can do that?
”Liu Jianhong hadn't gotten rid of his stunned mood yet, and couldn't help but retort: "Isn't there still this summer's European Cup?"
Greek mythology?
Won the championship the first time you reached the final?
”Zhang Lu was speechless, he forgot about it, "......
As you said, it's a 'myth', and it's dazzling, but it's hard to find.If we want Chinese football to achieve good results, we must develop steadily, and we can't set our goals too high, which is unrealistic.If we put our hopes in miracles or myths, we are likely to fall badly.And Jianhong, have you noticed?
Also this year, the Greek national team won the European Cup, and the Greek Olympic team did not even go out of the group stage.This shows that the strength of Greek football is weak, accidental, and happens by the convergence of various factors, and it does not mean that the overall football level of this country is the first in Europe. ”Liu Jianhong nodded with relief: "You're right, I'm too anxious."
It's good enough to make it to the last four. ”Hearing the words "too anxious", Zhang Lu's brows furrowed, and he said in a slow tone: "I think you may not be the only one who is in a hurry."
This summer, we won the Asian Cup and reached the semi-finals of the Olympic Games, and such good results will definitely help social resources to tilt towards football.However, in the short term, the tilt of resources will not significantly improve the level of football, on the contrary, the pressure on the team will be much higher.Jianhong, I'm not polite to say that the team led by Shen Gui entered the Olympics as a normal performance, but it was definitely abnormal to reach the semifinals.If you look at the number of goals we have scored, we scored 15 and conceded 10, it seems not bad?
But Wang Ai entered 13 alone!
What if there is no Wang Ai?
Excluding his 13 goals, we scored 2 and conceded 10, then it may be the same as the 88 Olympics, we can't win a game.This, I'm afraid, is our real strength. ”Liu Jianhong, like the fans who were still waiting in front of the TV late at night, full of excitement, were shocked when they heard Zhang Lu say this.Some people also thought that in the Olympic qualifying stage, the team's top scorer was also Wang Ai.Many people have managed to recover and become depressed.Liu Jianhong couldn't see it well, this was a great joy......
Uh, in short, it can't be too boring, so he hurriedly answered: "Director Zhang's analysis is very profound, pointing out some shortcomings of the current National Olympic Games.But from another point of view, Xiao Wang is also a pure Chinese player, and his emergence and progress are also the progress of Chinese football.While we still need to keep our feet on the ground, we don't have to be complacent.If I'm not mistaken, in the Asian Cup that just ended, Xiao Wang was not the top scorer, and there was a Bai Guanghai. ”Zhang Lu also realized that the topic was too heavy, so he changed the conversation and joked: "Also, Xiaobai didn't come, otherwise Xiao Wang's golden boot wouldn't be able to be snatched again."
The two of them are teammates and good buddies, but the competition on the court is really fierce.The dignified World Cup silver boot, but the top three scorers in the Asian Cup did not enter.I heard that Xiao Wang was very cruel to Xiaobai. ”Coincidentally, in the live stadium interview a few minutes later, Wang Ai also expressed a similar opinion, and even he was more straightforward than Zhang Lu said: "Chinese football has improved a little, and it is true in terms of results."
However, the foundation for our progress is not solid, and the number of school-age teenagers playing football in the country is still declining, which means that the selection and appointment of our national team will become narrower and narrower.This could lead to a sudden downturn in our results at some point.Five years ago, Liu Ailing and her team won the runner-up in the Women's World Cup in the United States, but last year they stopped in the quarterfinals.This year's Olympics was also barely quarterfinals, and Germany played 8:0.So I think that losing to Argentina today may be a good thing, at least it can make everyone clearly see that our Chinese football, even if we do everything we can, where is its limit and at what level.I hope that fans and friends who love Chinese football will not only pay attention to the results of our first team, which only belongs to the present, but not to the future. ”()
