Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 219 We are out!
The referee's penalty once again explained one thing-in this top ten match, there was no conspiracy specifically against the Chinese team-the West Asian brothers fought among themselves, Iran won Qatar, and Qatar won Kuwait, Kuwait wins Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia wins Iran, everyone is thinking for themselves, and no "brotherhood" is considered.Moreover, the referees of all the games are basically fair. At least after so many games, there are no hugely controversial penalties. Even if some penalties are questionable, they are all within the allowable range, which can be regarded as an exception Fair World Cup qualifiers.

This can be seen from the reasons given by the Chinese Football Association after the Chinese team was eliminated from the World Cup in history: the last reason given is that we are originally "second-rate in Asia", and it is natural for us not to qualify.

We can imagine the embarrassment of the Football Association at that time - there was no way to find out any external reasons, and in the end it could only be blamed on the national team players - "Asian second-rate" naturally did not qualify to go to the World Cup , it's not that we don't work hard.

Judging from the evaluation point of view, this "Asian second-rate" hat seems to be very correct. The Chinese team did not lose to the behind-the-scenes transactions, not to the black hand of the referee, but to themselves.

First-class players, second-rate external environment, third-rate psychological quality, and a poor Football Association—directly caused the tragedy of the strongest national team in history.

From shouting "seven wins and one draw" before the start of the top ten match, to pessimistically saying "it's over" after one loss and one draw, the Chinese national team went up to the officials of the Football Association and down to the reporters and media, calculating and calculating all day long , Suspiciously thinking that others will calculate themselves, but in the end they counted themselves into it.

But all of this will never happen again. The national team no longer needs to be insulted by the evaluation of "Asia's second-rate", and the fans don't need to write the classic article "Dalian Jinzhou Doesn't Believe in Tears" all night in pain and sleepless nights— —I believe that all fans, including the author who wrote "Dalian Jinzhou Doesn't Believe in Tears", would rather this classic not appear.

"Penalty kick! No. 201 minutes of the second half, the Chinese team won a penalty kick!" Huang Daxian shouted excitedly, ignoring the almost murderous eyes of his Saudi colleagues in the studio next to him: "Score this penalty kick and keep the score." At the end, we entered the World Cup one round ahead of schedule! The referee showed a yellow card to De Yayeya. In my opinion, the penalty of a yellow card is too light! He committed the foul when Gao Feng had a chance to score! A red card is not an exaggeration! Now let's see who the Chinese team took the penalty kick...not the captain, General Fan! But Nie Fei, who just turned 20 this year! He stood on the penalty spot, General Fan He didn't step forward at all! Nie Fei is Yunjia Tianyu's first set kicker, and he also took all the penalty kicks in the team, and there is no record of missed penalties! But this is the top ten game after all. The competition is not the league, can the young Nie Fei bear the pressure?"

Pei Wei looked at Nie Fei standing in front of the ball with full confidence. He had the strongest confidence in the core midfielder he had single-handedly promoted from the second team. This player never seemed to know what nervousness was. , when he played for Yunjia Tianyu for the first time, he didn't have any nervous emotions, and when he played for the national team for the first time, he also acted as if he had played for the national team all his life-he was even younger and more mature than Sun Chenghai , For such a player, what worries Pei Wei?
But what Pei Wei didn't know was that it's not that Nie Fei doesn't know what nervousness is, but that he doesn't think there is any need to be nervous at all. For Nie Fei, football is work, fun, and killing time. A play mentality in the game - when did you ever see someone who was nervous to even play?If there is, it can only show that this person is not very normal.

It was also Pei Wei's idea to let Nie Fei take the penalty kick. In history, General Fan just didn't score this penalty kick, which ruined the last hope of the Chinese team. World Cup, but Pei Wei hopes to resolve the battle earlier.

Chinese fans have waited too long, even if it is six days earlier, it will make them happy for six more days.

But even if he speaks very well in the national team now—even Wan Junsheng, the head of the Football Association, is not as effective as him—but it is not so easy to persuade General Fan.

In the past, General Fan was the candidate to take penalty kicks, and the former head coach Qi Dashuai couldn't do it. After the "penalty kick expert" Mai Chao quit the national team, the Chinese team could no longer find a stable and reliable penalty kick. Take the penalty shooter, there are not many players with good skills, and there are even fewer players with good psychological quality than pandas. When Hao Dong hit the World Cup in 93, he once missed a penalty kick. General Fan is considered a psychological player. The one with the best quality, who else can I use?Moreover, General Fan also scored a penalty in the first round against Iran. How can he be convinced now that General Fan has been replaced for no reason? Is it necessary for Pei Wei to tell General Fan: "You must miss a penalty in this game. The ball..." It's no wonder General Fan didn't beat Pei Wei when he got angry.

So Pei Wei persuaded General Fan in this way, and he went directly to General Fan: "Old Fan, if there is a penalty kick in the next game, how about letting Nie Fei take the penalty?"

General Fan naturally quit: "Why, I was the one who took the penalty before, why should I be replaced?"

Pei Wei smiled slightly. He had expected General Fan's reaction a long time ago, so he was not angry: "I think Nie Fei's penalty kick is better than yours. How about it? Let's make a bet. If you win the penalty kick, continue to let you Take the penalty, and at the same time, after the top ten match, I will set up [-] tables in Shanghai to accompany you. If you are familiar with it, I don’t ask for anything, just hand over the right to take the penalty kick... How about it, don’t you Is it a loss?"

"Okay, such a bet?" General Fan agreed immediately.

The betting method is very fair. Each player takes ten penalty kicks and takes the penalty at the same time. The first five penalties Nie Fei faces the first goalkeeper of the national team Ou Chuliang, and General Fan faces the second goalkeeper Jiang Hai. After that, the goalkeeper was changed, Nie Fei faced Jiang Hai, General Fan faced Ou Chuliang, and the one who scored more goals in the end was the winner.

General Fan was satisfied with this method, and then he asked another question: "What if it is a tie? Is it going to be overtime?"

"No, you win even if you draw." Pei Wei generously gave in another step.

This ingenious bet attracted everyone's interest. All the international footballers gathered together and watched the game with great interest. Gao Feng even acted as the croupier in the casino: "Come on, let's make a bet, Nie Fei Win to the left, press General Fan to win to the right!"

Almost everyone suppresses General Fan—they still have confidence in General Fan's psychological quality, but it's not that no one suppresses Nie Fei. There are three people who suppress Nie Fei. Hao Dong, Sun Chenghai, and Yang Tian are all Nie Fei. Teammates in Yunjia Tianyu.

As teammates, they are well aware of Nie Fei's shooting accuracy and psychological quality.

General Fan scored four goals in the first five rounds, and one hit the goal post. This is already a very good result. When the two goalkeepers changed positions, he glanced over there triumphantly, and then Sun Chenghai ran Come up and tell him that Nie Fei hits five shots five times.

It was Hao Dong who instructed Sun Chenghai to say this, just to disturb General Fan's mind - as an old enemy, Hao Dong was very happy to see General Fan get embarrassed.

Sure enough, General Fan, whose mentality was seriously affected, only scored three out of five penalty kicks. Nie Fei hit five shots again, ten to seven. Nie Fei won without any suspense. This is how Nie Fei is today. This scene of standing in front of the ball.

Score this penalty and we'll be in the World Cup - anyone else would be nervous at a moment like this, but not Nie Fei.

He easily scored the penalty, and he still used the most elegant way, which made his teammates shudder the most: a penalty kick with a spoon!
De Yayeya completely misjudged the direction. He couldn't believe that people would dare to play such tricks at this time, but Nie Fei played it, playing it very chicly and neatly.

The Chinese team with a 801-to-[-] lead played more easily. Benitez also frequently mobilized troops off the court to delay the time, but the Saudis were still very tenacious. In the No.[-] minute of the game, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was in the penalty area Beautifully getting rid of Xu Hong and directly facing Ou Chuliang, General Fan, who hastily returned to the defense, slammed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar from the side and knocked him to the ground. The referee's whistle immediately sounded—a penalty kick, and the referee also awarded Saudi Arabia a penalty. Team a penalty!
"Oh, a penalty kick! The referee awarded the Saudi team a penalty kick! General Fan hit too hard. If he was lighter, he could still interfere with the opponent, and it would not cause a foul... If the game is tied, Our qualifying celebration will be postponed again...but it doesn't matter, it seems more meaningful to celebrate qualifying at home..." Huang Daxian said regretfully.

Ou Chuliang stood in front of the door, very relaxed.

He knew that even if the opponent scored the penalty, the Chinese team would still have no major problems—as long as they scored one point in this game, the Chinese team would still be able to directly enter the World Cup by defeating Kuwait in the final round.

Pei Wei told him before the game that when facing a penalty kick, the player taking the penalty will always be more nervous than the goalkeeper—because the goalkeeper has no responsibility for not being able to save the kick. on the head.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar personally took the penalty, but he was obviously not as relaxed as Nie Fei. He dared not hit a shot like the spoon.

He chose to push the lower left corner, but although the penalty angle was very tricky, the speed was not fast. Ou Chuliang jumped up like a spring, accurately judged the direction, and fell to the ground holding the ball tightly in his arms. !
"Beautiful! Ou Chuliang saved Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's penalty beautifully! And he still threw it in his arms, without giving the Saudis any chance to make up shots! He didn't even give the opponent a corner kick! Ou Chuliang, he inherited The excellent tradition of Chinese goalkeepers! Zhang Junxiu, Li Fusheng, and Fu Yubin are possessed by their souls at this moment! This reminds me of the 1981 World Cup qualifying match between the Chinese team and the then Asian overlord Kuwait team! It was the same when they were leading by one goal It was a penalty kick, but Li Fusheng, the main goalkeeper of the national team at that time, saved the penalty kick, so that the subsequent three-goal victory! It was the closest time for the Chinese team to the World Cup. Please remember, At that time, it was the Saudi team who released water in the final game and lost five goals to the New Zealand team, which led to us passing the World Cup in Spain! Saudi team, please repay the debt of history!"

The Chinese fans who watched the game late at night did not hear his roar. When Ou Chuliang saved the penalty, they all roared more crazily than when Nie Fei scored the penalty just now. Don't care about disturbing other people—to put it simply, China at two o'clock in the middle of the night today is more lively than during the Chinese New Year!
During the Chinese New Year, it is only the busiest around midnight, and most people go to bed at two o'clock—where is it like it is now, the whole land of China is boiling!
After getting up, Ou Chuliang tightly clamped the ball under the armpit of his left hand, swung his right hand upwards, and then roared loudly. The other Chinese team members rushed up and celebrated wildly around Ou Chuliang, beside them It is the distraught Saudi players.

The failure to score a penalty made the last point of the Saudi team's psychological defense collapse-could they still win this game if they couldn't even score a penalty?
In the next game, the Saudi team was completely out of order, unable to attack and attack, unable to return to defense, and now they just want to end this damn game quickly.

But the Chinese team didn't want to let this opponent go easily, and beating the dog in the water is something everyone is happy to do.

Hao Dong scored his second goal of the game. After receiving a long pass from the front and back of the high school, he used his personal skills to volley two people in the penalty area of ​​the Saudi team to break the net. The fifth goal in the strong match made him rank first in the scorer list of Group A, surpassing his teammate Gao Feng, and only one goal less than the top scorer of the other group, Cui Yongzhu of the South Korean team.

This goal completely established the victory of the Chinese team, and it also means that the Chinese team entered the final stage of the World Cup in France one round ahead of schedule!
40 years of waiting, 40 years of shock, finally got the perfect result today!
When the referee blew the final whistle, all the Chinese players present raised their hands high to celebrate their victory!
"We...we qualified! Three to one, the Chinese team defeated the Saudi team in the away game, and the points reached [-] points, while the Saudi and Iranian teams could only get [-] points at most...We rushed into the game one round ahead of schedule. France World Cup!"

Two lines of tears flowed down Huang Daxian's face, and when the domestic fans saw the five characters "We are qualifying" displayed on the screen by CCTV, they also burst into tears!
