World Cup of Great Powers

Speaking of which, on that day, the Chinese team, led by Coach Zeng, broke out of Asia by relying on its own ability without relying on the help of other countries!

The whole country was in a state of excitement, and many cities even had holidays to celebrate.

I cried, thinking about the history of watching football for more than ten years, I burst into tears...

Maybe God is playing tricks on people, but the Chinese team is actually grouped with the French team, the double champions of the last World Cup and European Cup.

The other two opponents in the group are South American powerhouse Paraguay and Senegal, which is good at fighting.

Although the group is a fierce rival, our coach Zeng still wears those unpredictable sunglasses with a confident smile on his face: "We are not afraid of any team!"

For the Chinese team to enter the World Cup for the second time, the British betting company offered sky-high odds for the Chinese team to win the championship - 800 to 1.

I also made a mistake and placed a 20 pound bet on the Chinese team online.

It wasn't until the day before the World Cup started that I learned from the Internet: I was the only one who beat the Chinese team to win the championship.

As expected, the World Cup kicked off first in South Korea.

The opening match is the last champion France team versus the Chinese team.

Perhaps it was the "routine" of opening games over the years, perhaps it was the French's carelessness, and the whole game was very boring.

Facing a strong opponent, the Chinese team was tired of defending in its own half and had no hope of scoring anyway;

The French didn't seem to be able to do much in the face of our intensive defense. As time passed by, fans around the world began to curse this game.

The game continued until the 88th minute when Ou Chuliang took a goal kick and the ball flew across the half court and reached Yang Chen's feet.

He was seen running wildly with the ball, and the French midfielders and defenders began to intercept and cover the ball.

The ball was brought 35 meters away from the goal, and the opponent's players were already pressing towards Yang Chen from two directions.

Fighting alone, he had no chance of keeping the ball, so he suddenly kicked the ball towards the opponent's goal.

The opponent's defender obviously did not expect this move, and the ball actually hit the hands of the opponent's defender who came to cover!

Penalty kick!

After 88 minutes of dullness, Klena's bald head lit up, and his sharp eyes were fixed on the penalty spot.

The whistle flew out of his mouth, and I jumped up from my chair.

The penalty kick was taken by Yang Chen. His blank eyes seemed to be telling the world: "Don't look at me, I don't know what's going on!"

He waved the ball, took a few steps back, shook his tired and trembling legs, took a few big breaths, lowered his head, trotted, accelerated, kicked off, and the ball went straight to the center of the goal. The French goalkeeper flew across and pressed 50

% of hope rushed to the right side of the goal and the ball went in!!!

"Ah!" I shouted - I believe fans all over China are doing this.

In this way, we won the first game, and in the other game Senegal defeated Paraguay 3-1. The odds of the Chinese team suddenly rose from 800 to 1 to 80 to 1.

In the second round of the group stage, the French team defeated Senegal 2-0, and the Chinese team finally exposed its shortcomings when facing Paraguay.

Only 2 minutes into the game, Gompers was lying at the edge of the Chinese team's penalty area, with General Fan lying next to him.

The referee awarded a free kick unceremoniously, and Chilavert accurately hit the corner.

1 to 0.

Three minutes later, Gompers fell again, this time in the penalty area, and Chilavert scored again.

Four minutes later, Gompers fell to the ground 25 meters away, and Chilavert scored with a powerful shot. In the first ten minutes, he swallowed three eggs.

Later, Chilavert scored a free kick and two penalty kicks in succession.

And with this goal, he finally won the top scorer of this World Cup and created countless records in the history of the World Cup.

In the end, the Chinese team set a tragic record in the World Cup finals with 0-6, and the odds of the Chinese team suddenly dropped to 600 to 1.

In the last round against Senegal, the game reached 60 minutes, and the Chinese team fell behind 0-2.

At this time, Sun Jihai stepped forward to assist, dribbled the ball to the baseline, and passed the ball. The ball landed perfectly on Su Maozhen's head.

But Jin Tou Lao Mao didn't seem to have much mental preparation, and the ball hit him in the face.

Lao Maosheng fell to the ground, but the ball slid lightly into the Senegal goal.

1 to 2, the Chinese team got one point back.

In the 70th minute, the Chinese team got the first free kick in the frontcourt.

The penalty spot was about 30 meters away from the goal, located directly in front of the goal and slightly to the left. Li Jinyu walked to the ball and stared at the upper right corner of the goal with the corner of his eyes.

The ball is out!

The ball didn't hit!

The ball actually flew close to the turf, fortunately it was still very fast.

The Senegalese wall jumped habitually the moment the ball was kicked out, and the ball actually passed through their feet. The goalkeeper did not react at all because he could not see the ball at all, and the ball went straight into the lower left corner of the goal!

The Chinese team unexpectedly tied the score to 2-2!

In the 88th minute, Yang Chen broke through again with the ball and took a long shot, which was saved by the goalkeeper.

The golden-headed Lao Mao who followed up fired a follow-up shot, which hit the crossbar and bounced back.

Then Li Tie hit the ball with a "pop" kick. The opponent's defender made a big kick, but he hit the wrong part and it was an own goal!

3 to 2!

The Chinese team unexpectedly won!

At this time, news came from the other side of the field that the French team was tied with the Paraguay team.

In this way, the Chinese team entered the top 16 as the first in the group.

Paraguay also advanced due to goal difference. Poor France and Senegal, they went home together...

At this time, the odds of the Chinese team were adjusted to 8 to 1, because the next opponent of the Chinese team is none other than South Korea, an old enemy and one of the host countries of this World Cup.

South Korea prides itself on its tenacious style and tough footwork.

In every World Cup they have participated in, they have left their deep footprints on the legs of the opponent's forwards.

This time was no exception. They still played the role of "giant killers", and they paid a heavy price for this.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As the only remaining host country to qualify, South Korea only has just enough 11 people left to play in the game, and the rest have been suspended due to red and yellow cards.

.

At this time, the Chinese team is full of talents, but there are no red or yellow cards and no injuries.

Even so, South Korea also wants to wash away the shadow of "Chinaphobia".

After continuously fouling Chinese players, they were eventually eliminated because there were less than 8 players on the field, and the Chinese team advanced to the quarterfinals!

After winning the game, the Chinese team's odds dropped from 8 to 1 to 80 to 1, because we were facing the most popular favorite to win the championship, the ultra-luxury tank-Brazil!

As four-time World Cup winners, Brazil's dazzling skills, talented performances, seamless coordination, and unpredictable style of play will cause headaches for every opponent.

This time, the Chinese players staged a farce in which 11 of them had cramps on the court at the same time. The result of the game was predictable. The Brazilians easily won 8-0, which was very embarrassing.

The Chinese team's World Cup trip was over, my 20 pounds was wasted, and I began to hate my "crazy" behavior.

But on the second day of the competition, two pieces of shocking news came.

1. In urine samples tested after the game, it was found that 16 Brazilian team members were found to have taken illegal drugs, and 5 others showed signs of inhaling D;

Second, there is enough and conclusive evidence that the Brazilian Bamboo Shoes colluded with South American drug lords to jointly bribe World Cup referees and teams, involving huge amounts of money. At the same time, they also used this to control gambling activities in South America.

This investigation was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and the whole football world and even the whole world felt like it was going to explode.

FIFA, which had long been unhappy with Brazil's bamboo shoes, immediately held an emergency meeting and disqualified the Brazilian football team from participating in all international competitions, invalidating the results of this World Cup.

As a substitute for the Brazilian team, the Chinese team advanced to the semi-finals, setting the best record for an Asian team participating in the World Cup.

Less than an hour after the FIFA meeting ended, news came from the British Gambling Company: All forms of betting on the Chinese team were stopped, and the original bet amount was still valid.

As of this time, the total amount of global bets on the Chinese team is only 23.87 pounds.

The top four matchups are: Netherlands vs. England, Italy vs. China.

In the first Dutch-English battle, the Orange Corps, led by their coach, narrowly defeated England with a score of 3 to 2 and reached the World Cup final for the third time.

The battle of Zhongyi has begun.

The Apennine Peninsula, Sicily and Sardinia together form the territory of Italy. It is like playing two footballs with one foot, so Italy is born to be a country of football.

Serie A, which has a century-old history, has attracted all the stars from all over the world, and has even been nicknamed the "Little World Cup".

Some people say that winning the Serie A championship is more difficult than winning the World Cup. In a sense, the Serie A championship is the real "world champion."

Italy is known for its solid defense, and its concrete defense line is simply insurmountable. All the stars are proud of being able to shoot the ball into the Italian goal.

At this time, the Chinese team also had more and more Italian influences, and our "stable" position became more and more like a standard 8+2 tactic.

It is precisely because of this that we can go so far. Everyone knows whose shield is strong, and I know it; no one knows, and I don’t know either...

The battle between shields is so earth-shattering, boom-boom.

However, the Italians eventually lost their temper and made a major policy error, "using their own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strong points."

The milestone 6 shots in the 90 minutes of the game were all resolved by our defense with as few as 8 and as many as 10 people.

However, we have fully achieved "using our own strengths to overcome the enemy's weaknesses" and did not touch the opponent's rear line of defense at all.

It was still the same in overtime, and the score was firmly fixed at 0-0.

One minute before the end of overtime, Italy replaced their magical goalkeeper in the European Cup - Toldo.

The penalty shootout begins.

First, Yang Chen of the Chinese team took a free throw. At this time, the entire Chinese team had a relaxed atmosphere, and everyone had a slight smile on their face.

Yang Chen's penalty kick was taken from an extremely tricky angle and extremely fast, but Toldo was truly worthy of the title of magical goalkeeper, and the ball was actually saved by him.

The next Italian player sent the ball into the Chinese team's goal.

In the second round, the Chinese team was kicked off by veteran General Fan, but the result was an "anti-aircraft cannon".

The Italian scored again, 2-0.

On the field, the Italians outside the field sang the national anthem and began to celebrate the victory...

Finally, Zhang Xiaorui, who came on third, scored his second goal in the World Cup.

Immediately afterwards, Ou Chuliang bravely saved another one.

1 to 2!

The fourth member of the Chinese team was Xie Hui. He looked at Toldo and took a firm step, and Toldo miraculously resolved the danger.

The Italian players started high-fiving to celebrate, but their fourth player was too focused on the angle and the ball hit the upper left corner of the goal and bounced out.

Li Jinyu was the fifth player to play. He is the Chinese team's first choice for free kicks and corner kicks and is known for his footwork.

In this World Cup, there is a record of direct scoring from a free kick.

He didn't look at the goal. After placing the ball, he closed his eyes for a few seconds and firmly hit the ball to the lower right corner of the goal. Toldo made a judgment and flew towards the ball. It was so good! It was just a little bit short.

, the ball went in.

2 to 2 draw!

I don't know if Italy was overconfident, but the last person to play was Toldo himself.

Can he continue his "big story"?

All Italians were praying, and the whole world stopped.

The ball was kicked out, the football flew towards the upper left corner of the goal, and the ball was about to go in!

At this critical moment, a hand stood between the ball and the goal.

Ou Chuliang!

It's Ou Chuliang!

Italy's final penalty kick was saved by Ou Chuliang!!!

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Ou Chuliang also hit the goalpost because he was unable to save the dangerous ball. He was bleeding profusely and the emergency doctor came on stage.

After five rounds, the score between the two sides was 2-2.

After the team doctor left the field, Ou Chuliang had two pieces of toilet paper stuffed in his nose.

At this time, Shao Jiayi came on the field for the Chinese team. Toldo was shocked, but the ball was still knocked away by Shao Jiayi.

Similarly, the Italian player who came on next also kicked the ball crookedly.

Li Tie comes on stage.

I don't know whether to say that his expression is dull or that his eyes are firm.

He didn't say anything, just took a running start and fired angrily!

boom!

The ball went in!

4 to 3!

At this time, the Italian's poor penalty kicking problem was finally exposed. The players on the field had obvious tremors in their calves and their facial expressions were stiff.

Facing two white lines under his nose, Ou Chuliang basically kicked the ball without a run-up.

boom!

Ou Chuliang actually blocked the ball with his face!

The entire football field was silent, all the Chinese players were excited, Ou Chuliang had another nosebleed, but I fainted.

The World Cup finals started as scheduled.

The players from both sides entered the stadium, and the Chinese team members walked hand in hand into the Xiaoli National Arena with great pride and determination.

The national flag was raised and the national anthem was played. I saw the tears in the players' eyes. I touched my face and I didn't know when there were tears on it.

The game kicked off first with the Dutch team, and the disgusting "Han Qiao sound" sounded on the TV again:

"Dear spectators and fans, please dial -2 to predict the outcome of the game. You can dial multiple times and the big prize is waiting for you!"

As the ancestors of total offense and total defense, the Dutch have always had an advanced style of play and quick changes in offensive and defensive rhythms. As the saying goes, "Stay like a virgin, move like a rabbit." No matter which point, it is possible to give the opponent a fatal blow.

Both the players and the team are a true green giant. They are even coached by Gullit, one of the Three Musketeers of the year. The team is unprecedentedly united and its strength can be said to be far beyond the Cruyff era.

Yes, they are here just for the championship.

The fearsome green tank was in full swing. In just three minutes, the Chinese team's eight-back defense was crushed, and the Dutch scored first.

In order to strengthen the defense, the Chinese team did not hesitate to let Yang Chen retreat, leaving only Xie Hui to roam slightly ahead, becoming a "nine defenders and one forward".

The dangers were still constant, but fortunately the aura of luck always shrouded the Chinese team, and the score gap did not widen.

During this period, the opponent hit the crossbar three times and the goalpost seven times.

"It's better to die heroically than to live in vain!" Coach Zeng shouted angrily at the critical moment.

Now that we have reached this point, who can blame the Chinese team for conceding a few goals?

In the second half, Coach Zeng waved his flag and the "9+1" turned into a "1-2-3-4" inverted Christmas tree formation.

Ou Chuliang, who went into battle injured, guarded the dragon gate;

The veteran generals took action, and General Fan, the top three generals, acted as the last barrier to the rearguard;

Two fullbacks, Wu Chengying and Sun Jihai, play as a double defensive midfielder;

Li Tie, Shao Jiayi and Zhang Xiaorui form an attacking midfielder;

Yang Chen, Xie Hui, Su Maozhen, and Li Jinyu went into battle at the same time and launched a suicide attack on their opponents.

This move was indeed beyond the Dutch's expectations.

The hard ones are afraid of the horizontal ones, the horizontal ones are afraid of the stiff ones, and the stiff ones are scared of death!

In the first ten minutes of the second half, the Dutch were disrupted. They completely forgot about the strategic plan of total offense and total defense, and made frequent mistakes on the court. The boss was so anxious that he ignored the linesman's dissuasion and shouted at the court several times.

Jumping wildly.

In the 62nd minute of the game, Shao Jiayi drove the ball into the penalty area. The four forwards of the Chinese team rushed towards the ball at the same time. The Dutch goalkeeper also made a move to save the ball. At this moment, the ball went in!

Van der Sar also fell to the ground in pain. Players from both sides rushed forward. The TV played it in slow motion several times, but I didn't understand it.

Xiao Huang and Xiao Han talked for a long time but couldn't explain clearly. After five minutes, the referee and the linesman discussed it and decided that the goal was valid and the score was 1-1.

At this time, the Dutch were enraged. Almost all the Dutch were arguing with the referee. Gullit also rushed to the field to push him. Van der Sar, who was down, also quickly got up. The four players of the Chinese team

A forward became the target of his attack.

The scene suddenly became chaotic. Even the few hundred Chinese fans in the stands began to be attacked by debris. Many sticks and devils were unjustly beaten. A few minutes later, the Chinese fans were escorted out by the police.

.

At this time, the referee on the field went on a killing spree and issued red cards, sending Dutch players Edwin van der Sar, Kluivert, Overmars and coach Gullit off the field.

On the Chinese team's side, only General Fan was invited to the stands.

It can be seen from Coach Zeng's expression that his substitution method was really successful!

In the blink of an eye, the performance of 22 people on the field turned into a performance of 18 people.

It’s just that the Chinese team has the numerical advantage.

The game restarted after a 30-minute interruption, and the psychological changes of the players determined the development of the situation on the field.

With the numerical advantage, the Chinese team members began to play better and smoother, frequently putting pressure on the Dutch team's rear.

The Dutch, on the other hand, were in a low mood, had lost their balanced mentality, and their rhythm became increasingly chaotic. As a result, the game seemed to be evenly matched.

The game passed minute by minute, with both sides trying their best to grasp the rhythm and not taking too big risks easily, because any mistake may cause them a lifetime of regrets.

The 90-minute game ended long but briefly.

In overtime, the atmosphere remained the same.

At this moment, the Chinese team's opportunity came.

In the 6th minute of overtime, the Dutch seized a gap in the Chinese team. Four players rushed towards the front of the Chinese team's penalty area. Just as they were looking for a chance to shoot, Sun Jihai intercepted the ball with a kick.

What a young Manchester City player. He quickly passed the ball to Wu Chengying who came to meet him;

The latter dribbled past a Dutch forward and passed the ball to Li Tie's feet;

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Tie dribbles the ball from the center and passes it to Zhang Xiaorui in front;

Zhang Xiaorui started to take a shot, but found that the line was blocked, so he passed the ball back to Su Maozhen behind;

Su Maozhen did not stop the ball and directly passed the ball at a 45-degree angle to Shao Jiayi on the right;

Shao Jiayi dribbled the ball down. At this time, the Chinese team's outflanking players were not in place. He stopped the ball and an opponent's player outflanked him. Shao Jiayi picked up the ball and passed it to the back.

Xie Hui;

At this time, the opponent's player had already moved to the right, and Xie Hui moved with a big foot and passed the ball to Li Jinyu's feet on the left;

Li Jinyu took the ball a few steps and entered the penalty area. He faced only one goalkeeper. The goalkeeper became anxious and rushed forward to pounce on the ball at Li Jinyu's feet. He swayed and did not shoot. Instead, he pushed with his left foot and passed the ball.

Go to the feet of Yang Chen who is outflanking him in the middle;

Yang Chen faced the empty goal and easily scored the ball.

The whole process only lasted thirty seconds. It was so beautiful! Golden ball! Golden ball!! The Chinese team won!!!

I jumped up from the chair and smashed the teacup in my hand.

...

The Chinese team won!

The Chinese team won the World Cup!

The Chinese team actually won the World Cup!

I sat in front of the TV and didn't move for two or three hours...

…

On the second day after the World Cup, the triumphant heroes returned home and received the grandest courtesy. At the airport, the international players collectively stated that they would hang up their boots and retire.

On the third day, the head coaches of the Netherlands, Italy, Brazil, South Korea, Spain, and France resigned.

On the fourth day, the International Bamboo Curtain passed a resolution with one vote against, two abstentions, and 197 votes in favor: starting from the 2006 World Cup, the previous champion still needs to pass the qualifying rounds to enter the World Cup finals

lock up.

(Note: The opposing vote is for China, and the abstaining vote is for the HG Special Administrative Region and MO Special Administrative Region)

On the fifth day, China Bamboo Shoes announced its dissolution and the reorganization work will take some time.

On the sixth day, Zeng Zheng mysteriously disappeared.

On the seventh day, figures showed that the number of deaths worldwide during the World Cup increased by 2.3 million compared with the same period last year. Among them, 820,000 were suicides, and the number of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular patients increased by 52 million. The stocks of listed companies related to football

Market value has shrunk by more than 40% on average.

On the eighth day, while lying on the hospital bed, I received a check totaling £11.

...

Three years later, the Chinese team was eliminated by the Maldives 1-0 in the Asian group stage of the World Cup preliminaries.
