World Cup of Great Powers

That night, in the two sections of Sifang Sports Club and Huayuankou Sports Club, a blog post titled "Let us accept the defeat calmly" once again aroused heated discussion.

Since Lao Rong's posts became popular, many media outlets have begun to wait for him to post his articles, and then reprint them directly.

At this time, there is already the first Internet cafe in China, which is opened in Shanghai.

To be precise, Internet cafes in this era were not called Internet cafes, but were called XX computer room or XX computer room.

Most of the people who come here to surf the Internet are students.

Don’t underestimate the spending power of Shanghai students.

And for these young people, they don’t have to skip lunch in order to get in touch with this new thing!

"...our family of three watched the first game against Denmark from start to finish."

"Overall, the players played well."

"I can even say that if today's level is in the top ten, there will be nothing wrong with Coach Zeng, and we can definitely qualify early."

"I'm afraid this is one of the reasons why fans criticize the national team - they can obviously play well, but they still can't do it."

"Today, facing the Danish team, which is ranked among the best in the world, the national players really tried their best."

"But it also allowed us to truly see the gap between our football and the strong teams."

"No need to say much about the game, you can watch the replay."

"We actually created several opportunities, but we failed to seize them in the end."

"Denmark is not a weak team."

"Maybe they can play us 2-0, 3-0, or even 4-0."

"But the whole game ended with a 1-0."

"For the Danes, they achieved the greatest victory at the lowest cost."

"And we don't have to worry about this '1'."

"Because we still have a long way to go from '0' to '1'."

"Failure is not terrible. Being able to learn experiences and lessons from failures is what we need to do now."

"Think about the first time South Korea participated in the World Cup 48 years ago. They lost 0-9 in their first game."

"In comparison, we only lost one goal to our opponent, which is already a great thing..."

After all, we are watching the battle live.

Lao Rong’s post is quite convincing.

It was reprinted by several well-known domestic paper media and appeared in the newspaper the next afternoon.

Those fans who regretted losing 0-1 stopped slapping their thighs after studying it carefully.

1 point looks easy.

But on the football field, it is completely different. It is a process from scratch.

How to take this first step has become a top priority for the national team.

...

Although they understand the gap between themselves and the world's top teams, fans still have high demands on the team.

After the competition, a lot of "professional articles" were published.

For example, there were omissions in the defense, the midfield line was too far back, there was a lack of tacit understanding among the players, Horton made mistakes in hiring, etc.

Among them, the issue of Holden's employment has once again aroused discussion among countless fans.

Regarding the issue of team formation and lineup, this is really a matter of public opinion and mother-in-law theory. There has been no clear debate since ancient times.

It's okay if the team wins; once the team loses, a lot of fans will jump out and point out that this place made a mistake in hiring people, and that place didn't replace people properly.

Regarding this situation, a conclusion has been made as early as the Warring States Period.

Pure talk on paper!

Everybody knows hindsight.

And it doesn't really make much sense to discuss this after the game.

Every game situation is different.

There is no fixed lineup, and there is no permanent formation.

Of course, the most discussed issue here is the issue of Li Tie and Zhang Xiaorui.

Two Jianlibao players are back.

Young and energetic, he is one of the smallest players in the team.

Although they were both caught, they were the first two people to be replaced.

What does this mean?

Did someone put pressure on Horton after watching Jianlibao win the Toulon Cup?

Moreover, Li Tie received the first yellow card of the Chinese team shortly after the game started, which became a point of criticism by countless fans.

Questions about whether players should use Jianlibao, whether they can use it, and when to use it have once again become the focus of debate among fans.

While the fans were arguing endlessly, Sports Weekly reported on the World Cup from another aspect.

"First time for the national team!"

This title is very attractive.

After seeing the data recorded below, the fans couldn't help but smile.

"The first touch of the ball, tackle and steal - Li Tie, Li Tie tackled the opponent's player to the ground in more than 10 seconds of the game."

"The first mistake - Li Tie, in the 2nd minute, Li Tie's pass was a little short and was intercepted by the opponent's forward."

"The first yellow card - Li Tie..."

Next, there is the first shot, the first corner kick, the first free kick, the first goal conceded...

And the first injury.

After seeing Sun Jihai's name, the fans couldn't help but feel excited again.

At the beginning of this year, four international players went to England for trial training. Sun Jihai and General Fan successfully completed the trial training. After playing in the World Cup, they will transfer to England.

These two international players who are about to go abroad have always attracted much attention.

What's more, Sun Jihai is still so young.

How about Sun Jihai?

According to the latest news from France.

Sun Jihai, who was filming at Lens Hospital with Zeng Zheng, was also interviewed by reporters recently.

Torn ligaments in his left foot, accompanied by severe soft tissue damage.

But the bones are fine.

This is a blessing among misfortunes for the fans.

"I actually don't really understand. It hurts anyway, but I guess 80% of the next game will be enough." When talking about his injury, Sun Jihai seemed very pessimistic.

"I didn't see him at all."

"I was planning to do an incision at that time."

"It came over in a swish. I didn't even react and fell to the ground."

"Now my foot is just bandaged and tied tighter. Anyway, the bones are fine and there is no plaster on it."

"Coach Zeng put ice on me and gave me medicine. I can actually walk now."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "It's just a little lame."

"I don't know how many days it will take to recover. I hope I can get better soon."

"Do you think the Danish team is strong?" the reporter asked again.

"Not strong! Not strong at all. To be honest, it is a blessing to meet such a team in the World Cup, but..."

"Hmph! I don't think our overall ability is worse than theirs. That's my view when I'm on the court anyway."

"If I want to get ahead of them on the wing, I can get past them..."

"It's just that my defensive tasks are too heavy, and I rarely have the opportunity to assist in the frontcourt."

"But I feel that even if we don't play well, we can at least get a draw."

"But... alas! We played too badly."

"They won because of the organization of the whole game."

"The Laudrup brothers are too old, and their skills have deteriorated a lot."

"Schmeichel is very capable, but I won't be afraid if I shoot him!"

"...Oh! But the result is like this, if the last ball allows me to cut inside..."

Having said this, Sun Jihai clenched his fists and became silent.

After the reporter took notes, he asked several questions about the status of the team members, his relationship with Horton, and whether he was worried about the problems with the British club. Sun Jihai answered them one by one.

Just when the reporter wanted to ask something else, Zeng Zheng walked forward expressionlessly and stretched out his hand.

"Sorry, everyone, it's time."

A graceful female reporter stepped forward and deliberately opened her chest, "Coach Zeng, look, I have one last moment left..."

"Go slowly and don't see me off."

With that said, Zeng Zheng opened the door of the ward.

After all the reporters left the ward, Sun Jihai's eyes that were shining just now dimmed again.

"Coach Zeng, tell me, do you think I can really play at the end of the game?"

Zeng Zheng took out an apple from the fruit basket, rubbed it with the palm of his hand, then put it in his mouth and took a bite.

While eating, he muttered: "The next game is up in the air, but in the last group match, there should be no problem."
