World Cup of Great Powers

The lanterns are on.

The 305.5-meter-tall Liaoning Radio and Television Tower also shines in the night sky as the last ray of sunlight is shrouded in darkness.

As the tallest tower of its kind in Asia and the tallest building in Northeast China, old Shenyang people like to call it the Color TV Tower.

When the color TV tower lights up, the tattoos on the tower also light up.

Looking from a distance, the four characters "Snow Beer" also show the generosity of Northeastern people.

"Boss, another box of snowflakes!"

A shout came from the private room on the second floor of the barbecue restaurant.

When the proprietress heard the sound, she immediately picked up a box of beer and walked quickly up the stairs.

"The wine was put on the floor for you!"

"Hey!" There was a response in the room.

The landlady put down her beer neatly and left quickly.

As soon as the footsteps came down the stairs, the private room door was pushed open, and a young man carried the beer into the room.

Under the incandescent lamp, there were six young people sitting around the round table, who looked to be about 20 years old.

There are three private rooms on the second floor, but the boss advertised that the private rooms were full.

I would rather stop taking business than have someone come upstairs to disturb this table.

"Did you send the wine?"

"Sent it over! I'm drinking vigorously!"

"Alas! It's not easy for them to think about it. After playing for so long and being eliminated at the last moment, everyone will feel uncomfortable!"

"Stop talking nonsense! If it's not easy for them, why not you?"

The proprietress flew up and kicked the boss who was grilling skewers on the butt, "Grill your skewers honestly. When you have time to worry about others, it's better to worry about what you are doing. Don't overcook the skewers all the time! There are two tables.

Customers are complaining about you!"

"Go, go, go, what do you, an old woman, know?"

...

The protagonists in the private room on the second floor are none other than Li Jinyu and Yao Li.

The two Jianlibao players waited around after returning to Shenyang, but they never waited until Xin'er called them up.

It’s okay if you’re not selected.

But in the list published by Zhu Xie, Li Tie's name was unexpectedly listed.

After seeing the news, Li Jinyu and Yao Li teamed up to block the door of Li Tie's house that night. After knocking on the door for a long time, they were told by their neighbors that the family had flown to the capital together two days ago.

Yao Li and Li Jinyu were left looking at each other, a sense of grievance and sadness suddenly welling up in their hearts.

It really complied with that statement.

I'm afraid that my brother will be poor, I'm afraid that my brother will be miserable, and I'm afraid that my brother will drive a Land Rover!

Good guy!

Are you driving a Land Rover?

You already fly a helicopter!

Fortunately, we were still together the day before waiting for the letter from Bamboo Shoes.

You cabbage went to France quietly on your own?

Didn't you tell your old teammates before leaving?

"Fuck! What's so great about Zhang Xiaorui? Why should you take him instead of me?" Li Jinyu was very drunk.

The baby fat on her face is as red as Maitreya Buddha's earrings.

"Isn't it just one more goal than me? If I hadn't been replaced by Mr. Zeng, I would have scored a penalty kick too!"

"Okay Dayu, please stop saying a few words!" Yao Li on the side was also drunk and his eyes were dim.

But he still stayed awake.

At least he is not as unwilling as Li Jinyu.

"After all, Heizi is the best player in the Toulon Cup. You also admitted that his foot skills are the best in the team, so it is normal to take him there."

"As for Tie Zi, after all, he is also the captain of our Jianlibao, isn't he?"

"Take the captain to the World Cup, what else do you have to say?"

Li Jinyu glanced at Yao Li, raised his head and drank another drink.

"Who is the captain? What's so great about the captain? The captain is not the best player in the team! Anyway, I just don't accept it, I just don't accept it..."

"vomit!!!"

Under the influence of a large amount of alcohol, Li Jinyu finally couldn't help it and vomited it out with a "wow" sound.

Yao Li on the side saw this and wanted to persuade him again.

But when I thought that I was also a member of Jianlibao, I couldn't help but my eyes turned red, and I vomited together.

Seeing the two Jianlibao seniors acting like this, Zhao Junzhe and others could only step forward and pat their backs to make them feel more comfortable.

"Dayu, Dali, we are still young anyway, we will still have a chance at the next World Cup!

...

In addition to Jianlibao's players, other national players who were not selected were also secretly feeling sad in their respective cities.

"Eight years, eight years!"

"I have been fighting for Chinese football for eight years!"

In the hospital ward, Li Ming looked at his right leg covered in plaster and sobbed.

"Why, why are you getting hurt at this time?"

"I shouldn't have lost the election, why am I so unlucky?"

"God is so unfair!"

...

Gao Hongbo was sitting at home, with his wife, children and father-in-law beside him, with soju on the table.

"Come on, cheers!"

"Xiao Gao, don't be sad. You have done your best to get an assist at the end of the top ten games!"

"Hey, why am I sad? My historical mission has been completed, and the rest is up to these young people!"

After Gao Hongbo finished speaking, he drank all the white wine in the cup.

Then he pursed his lips, pretending to be burned, and shed two lines of hot tears.

...

Whether it is regret or regret.

There are only 22 people on the roster, who can guarantee that the most correct people are selected?

Fortunately, people like Li Jinyu, Yao Li and others are just 20 years old and there will be many World Cups in the future;

But people like Gao Hongbo, Mao Yijun and others will never be able to step into the World Cup as players.

On June 1, Horton gave a farewell speech at a press conference before heading off to Beijing.

"I know that China is a country that values ​​emotions."

"Although I am a foreigner, I feel the same way."

"Although we have not been together for a short time, I have already developed a certain relationship with these team members."

"I said as early as when I took office that until the last moment, anyone may go to the World Cup, and anyone may be eliminated."

"This is my profession, and my professionalism tells me that I must do this!"

"...I know that for some players, this might be their last chance in their life."

"But this is a choice made after analyzing all the circumstances and taking comprehensive considerations into consideration. I hope they can understand."

"It is an honor to lead the Chinese national team to participate in the World Cup for the first time. At this moment, I am proud of all the players who have worn this jersey."
