World Cup of Great Powers

Thunder breaks out from the ground!

The Chinese team eliminated the Danish team led by Laudrup and qualified from Group C. This news became the biggest news since the start of this World Cup in the blink of an eye.

Not all the veterans from Denmark's 1992 Fairytale have retired, and last year Denmark qualified first in the group.

Such a Danish team lost to an unknown Asian team?

The term "dark horse" fell on the Chinese team overnight.

The promotion of the Chinese team has become the subject of discussion in various media.

Qualifying with 3 points is no longer a rare thing in this World Cup.

Just like the Group B match that just ended the day before, the Chileans were able to qualify from the group without winning a game.

The Chinese team finally won a game!

Before this World Cup, many teams won one game in the group stage and then advanced to the top 16 through the promotion mechanism of third place in the group.

But this session is different!

In this World Cup, the number of participating national teams has expanded to 32, and there is no longer the possibility of qualifying third in the group.

Under such circumstances, the Chinese team's comeback and victory has become the most talked about topic among fans around the world.

Participating in the World Cup for the first time, they lost the first game and then lost the second game to the host country by a huge margin.

According to past experience, such an Asian team will pack up and leave immediately after the third game, and no one will care about it.

Coming to the World Cup is just a formality to support the spectacle.

I thought the same was true for the Chinese team.

But who would have thought.

In the last group match, the Chinese team not only defeated its opponents with a big score, but also managed to survive a desperate situation and advance to the group stage.

...

Reuters used the title "Lucky Chinese Team" to introduce the Chinese team's three group matches in detail.

After losing two games in a row, Reuters said that the strength shown by the Chinese team, which was visiting the World Cup for the first time, was indeed different from those who were regular visitors to the World Cup.

But in the end, they completed the "reversal" in an "incredible" way.

If the French team hadn't won, if the Danes hadn't disrupted their position during the game... no matter how many goals the Chinese team scored, it would be of no avail.

They hide themselves in failure and complete the "counter-kill!" in silence!

Leveraging the host's influence, he became the biggest winner in the group.

On the contrary, Agence France-Presse issued an article stating that "the Chinese team's promotion is not just a matter of luck."

Everyone knows that the last group match for the Chinese team is actually a fight for honor.

Although there is still a theoretical possibility of qualifying, in the eyes of fans, it is no different from Japan and South Korea, which have already been eliminated.

But it was such a battle of honor that the Chinese team showed its own style.

A team can score 4 goals in a World Cup game.

Either you are too strong or your opponent is too weak.

It is rare for teams of the same level to score such a big score.

The phenomenon of "rookies pecking each other" is generally reflected in the World Cup as 0-0, rather than a farce with a big score.

Judging from the results, if the Chinese team had not worked hard on its own, it would not have been his turn to advance.

What's more, everyone who has watched the game knows it.

The Chinese team was two goals behind and scored 4 goals in a row to take the lead.

Agence France-Presse finally said: "It is not so much the 'luck of the Chinese team' as it is the unremitting efforts and struggle that earned the favor of the gods."

"France Football" analyzed the matter from another angle.

As the saying goes, "If you sharpen your weapons before the battle, you will lose your happiness; if you change the commander before the battle, it will be an accident."

The Chinese team's "surprise" came from their temporary head coach.

In a set of photos released by France Football, any time Zeng Zheng appears in the camera, he is shouting and commanding at the top of his lungs.

Such a command frequency is very rare in world football.

First, because the environment on the court is complex and opportunities are fleeting. Even if the coach can see the scene clearly, it will be too late after the sound is transmitted.

Second, these football coaches are generally old, and it is simply unrealistic for them to stand on the sidelines and shout for ninety minutes like young people.

Not only that, the tactical diagram left in the Chinese team's locker room after the game was also revealed by the staff.

The circles, triangles and various arrow marks on it are like scalpel marks, completely dismembering the South African team.

"French Football" finally praised: "...Replacing such a magical coach can at least make the team invincible."

After being exaggerated by many media, "dark horse" and "miraculous coach" have become "synonymous" with the Chinese team.

Especially when they learned that Zeng Zheng was also the Toulon Cup champion coach, more than a dozen clubs came to ask Zeng Zheng to coach.

...

The "miraculous" promotion of the Chinese team has brought different consequences to the other three Asian teams.

South Korea, which also had a coaching change in Group E, was encouraged. Facing Belgium, which wanted to advance, they fought tooth and nail with their opponents.

Thanks to Yoo Sang-cheol's goal in the 72nd minute, South Korea and Belgium tied 1-1, and the European Red Devils were eliminated.

Saudi Arabia is not so lucky.

Saudi Arabia, which has one win and one loss, can only qualify if it wins the last game.

Before the game, the team's big-name stars Klinsmann and Bierhoff both said, "The Chinese team's result has sounded a wake-up call for us. We will no longer look down upon any Asian team."

In this way, Germany defeated its opponent 2-0 and eliminated Saudi Arabia.

I worked hard during the last game, but also gained good luck.

Facing Jamaica, which was also eliminated and participating in the World Cup for the first time, Masashi Nakayama scored the first goal of the World Cup in the 74th minute.

Although it was still a 1-2 defeat, this ending was still acceptable to the Little Days fans.

After all three Asian teams were eliminated, media outlets from various countries published articles wishing that the Chinese team could go further and further in the World Cup and achieve greater glory.

In the words of the Asahi Shimbun, "...In any case, the opponent for the championship with the Brazilian team is an Asian team."

After advancing from the group, the Chinese team got 3 days of rest.

During this period, although Spain defeated Bulgaria 6-1 in Group D, the right to qualify was not in their hands.

On the other hand, Nigeria lost 1-3 to Paraguay, who was eager to win, and the two teams finally joined forces to qualify.

The same is true in Group E. The uncrowned king, the Netherlands, was tied by the tenacious Mexico. Belgium failed to win against the South Koreans and could only go home with its opponents.

There is no suspense in Group F. Two traditional strong teams, Yugoslavia and Germany, have jointly qualified. But only Zeng Zheng knows that this is the last time Yugoslavia will appear in the World Cup.

Romania, who had no worries about qualifying in Group G, tied with Tunisia 1-1. In the "life and death competition" between England and Colombia, they had the last laugh with the goals of Anderton and Beckham.

The match in Group H was just for explanation. Argentina and Croatia, who had already qualified, "casually" played 1-0.

Just when the Chinese team was studying how to deal with the African Eagle Nigeria, "old friend" Santos came to the door.

"Zeng, you are famous again!"

"People are afraid of being famous, but pigs are afraid of being strong. Being famous is not a good thing! How did it happen last time?"

Foreigners don't quite understand the Chinese people's tendency to keep a low profile and think that Zeng Zheng is being modest in the Chinese style.

"Zeng, I can only say that you are so lucky." Santos said with a flattering look on his face, "Pontepreta agreed to let him go, and he also agreed to come to China to play for one year."

"You also know that since Maradona left, Napoli's performance has plummeted."

"Players like them who are about to retire are thinking about making another fortune before retiring."

"He can hardly play in the team now, and Ponte Preta is trying to send him out!"

A qualified team must not only have main players who can attack the city and defend the defense, but also have veterans with stable military morale, a business brand that can "play and attack", and can bring fame to the club.

"Mascot" for reputation, attention, gimmicks, etc.

Zeng Zheng has a small budget, so in terms of "mascots", he can only use this method to attract traffic.

After Santos' mediation, the opponent can come to China after the Brazilian domestic league ends, just in time for spring training in Shanghai.

After briefly finalizing the verbal agreement, Zeng Zheng finally smiled.

It seems that taking such a big risk to qualify for the World Cup is not without rewards!
