Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 270 Honor of Asia

The deafening roar in the stands, the figures running back and forth on the field, the sighs of the substitute players of the Chinese team around them... All these things began to become unreal in Pei Wei's eyes and ears, and everything in front of him began to become blurred ...

How did you lose another ball?Didn't we just show off our power and beat the French team and almost equalized the score?How did it become two goals behind?Time, is there still time?There are still 5 minutes, come on, we haven't lost yet, we still have a chance...

"Du—" The sharp whistle pierced Pei Wei's eardrums across the sky, waking him up.

The French players on the field raised their hands high and cheered heartily, while the players of the Chinese team slumped on the lawn one by one. They had exhausted their physical strength in the game. The status quo made them feel extremely tired.

Pei Wei finally confirmed that the game was over, and the Chinese team lost the game—he collected himself, turned his head and showed a guilty smile to Benitez next to him: "Rafael, I'm sorry...you are right , we shouldn't blindly believe in our abilities and launch a rush attack. Now we not only failed to score a point, but also lost an extra goal difference. If you want to blame, then blame me. I interfered with your thoughts .”

"No." Benitez shook his head: "You didn't order me as the boss... What moved me was your words, because I was indeed tempted by the bright prospect of tying France... …I took a risk, and since the risk didn't work out, then we have to accept failure. We lost, but we didn't lose everything."

He patted Pei Wei on the shoulder: "Now, go and comfort our lads. It is you and I who made mistakes. There is no need to let these outstanding lads take any responsibility. They need comfort."

Pei Wei nodded, walked to the field together with Benitez, and began to comfort the players one by one, pulled them up from the lawn, patted the soil on their bodies, and said a few words of comfort.

Jacques came up and extended his hand to Benitez: "The Chinese team performed very well, we were lucky to win... I hope to meet you again in the knockout stage."

Benitez held Jacquet's hand and shrugged his shoulders: "The French team wins in strength. In the next game, we will still go all out."

The French players on the field took the initiative to exchange jerseys with the players of the Chinese team. The French fans in the stands applauded the players of the Chinese team while celebrating. The tenacious Chinese players not only won the praise of their opponents Respect, also won the respect of the French fans.

********************************************
In a later game, the Chinese team got bad news. The Danish team relied on the goals of two forwards Sander and Brian Laudrup to beat the South African team [-]-[-] and draw with the French team. The top two in the group, the Chinese team is at the bottom of the group due to one less goal difference.

This result made Pei Wei even more regretful. Unexpectedly, the schedule changed, and the result of the Danish team also changed-in history, they should have been tied [-]-[-] by South Africa in the second round. Winning means that the next game will soon become a battle of life and death for the Chinese team.

The second match of the Chinese team was six days later, on June [-]th, when the Chinese team faced the South African team.

In the next few days, the Chinese team has been resting in the resident, recovering their strength and accumulating energy-they will use their best form to meet the South African team.

In addition, the news from each group came one after another. After Italy in Group B tied Chile [-]-[-] with only a penalty kick created by Baggio, in Group D, an even bigger upset came out. , the favourites, Spain, were caught up by Nigeria after leading twice. A fatal error by veteran goalkeeper Subisareta made Nigeria equalize for the second time, while Oliseh's thunderous long-range Nigeria miraculously defeated the Spanish team [-]-[-], and the African champions began to spread their wings.

The Netherlands in Group E was drawn by Belgium, which can be regarded as a moderate upset, while the rest of the games went smoothly, and the recognized strong teams all won the final victory.

After the end of the first round of the World Cup, all four teams from Asia were wiped out. The Chinese team lost [-]-[-] to the host team, France. The ball was crushed, and Japan and Iran also lost to Argentina and Yugoslavia with a score of zero to one. This result also discredited Asian football.

However, the performance of the Asian teams does not seem to be a disgrace. The Chinese team and the French team competed at the last moment. He Xizhou, the hero of the ball, was sent off for a stupid back shovel, which made the South Korean team fall into a passive position and finally failed. It is not too embarrassing for Japan to lose only one goal against the powerful Argentine team. The Iranian team also Only one goal was lost to the European powerhouse Yugoslavia. Generally speaking, the performance was notable.

But the football game is so cruel, no matter how well you play, as long as you lose, you will not get points.

********************************************
After two days of rest, the physical strength of the Chinese team members has gradually recovered. In any case, the Chinese team has prepared for the World Cup for more than a month, and the physical reserves are still sufficient. Although the competition against the French team is very intense, but After resuming training for two days, the players' physical fitness gradually became sufficient, and their state was slowly recovering.

On June [-]th, Wan Junsheng, the head of the Chinese delegation, found Pei Wei. The AFC wanted to conduct an interview with the Chinese team. Wan Junsheng hoped that Pei Wei would go.

"Why me?" Pei Wei was a little strange: "I'm just an interpreter. You, the head of the delegation, are on the top, and the head coach Benitez is on the bottom. I can't talk about me."

"You are better at eloquence than me, and Benitez is a foreigner, so he doesn't understand these twists and turns. It's best for you to go." Wan Jun said with a smile: "You are not just a translator, you are also our representative. The regiment's foreign press release officer."

"A monthly salary of one yuan makes me do so many things? Be careful, I will sue your Football Association for violating the "Labor Law." Pei Wei said dissatisfied.

"It's just a matter of dealing with them." Wan Jun said in a good-tempered voice: "Besides, this is also a chance for you to show off."

"Forget it, I will sell my life to your Football Association." Pei Wei sighed and said, "Why did the AFC come to us? Haven't the West Asian teams always been their hearts and minds? South Korea and Japan are in Asia. The Football Federation is also very optimistic, why did you think of us this time?"

"Who wants us to play the best." Wan Jun said with a smile: "From the scene, we played the best. Now all Europe knows that there is a Chinese team in Asia that almost drove France to a dead end... …Can they not interview us?"

"Well, for the sake of improving the status of our Chinese football in the AFC, I will avoid the difficulty and say a few words to them." Pei Wei sighed: "Hmph, the honor of Asian football is for us China to get it!"

For the Asian Football Federation, which is basically controlled by the West Asians, Pei Wei has no affection at all. Although the personal relationship between AFC Secretary-General Verapan and Xu Dory is not bad, Pei Wei is very disgusted with this guy. For anything else, just because of his shitty remarks at the Asian Cup held in China in later generations, it was enough to make Pei Wei want to go up and slap him a few times.

Pei Wei is also very uncomfortable with other people, including South Korea's Chung Mong-joon - he has always stubbornly believed that the semi-finals of the South Korean team in the 02 World Cup is more a disgrace to Asian football, not a so-called honor.

From the bottom of his heart, Pei Wei is still the passionate Chinese fan before reincarnation. He never thinks that other Asian countries have achieved good results in the World Cup, which is good for China, and the glory of Asia is none of China's business!

Just like Liu Xiang won the first track and field gold medal of an Asian in the Olympic Games, that is the pride of the Chinese, and has nothing to do with Asia—what did other Asian countries do?Why share this honor?
Similarly, even if South Korea and Japan win the world championship, it has nothing to do with China—some so-called "elites" put their faces on it and say "honor of Asia", carefully sticking to other people's asses.

If Wan Junsheng knew Pei Wei's mentality, he would definitely not let Pei Wei accept this interview-what kind of good things can a person with supremacy of nationalism say in such an interview?

Of course, Pei Wei would not speak casually. After a few formulaic answers, Pei Wei said the following.

"In the next game, we must win, because it is related to whether we can go further."

"The first victory of an Asian team in this World Cup will be won by the Chinese team. Only the Chinese team can achieve this result."

"The honor of Asia, the Chinese team will fight for it. For the honor of Asia, the Chinese team will give everything."

Although these few sentences always put "Asia's honor" on it, the underlying meaning couldn't be more obvious: "Only we, China, can win honor for Asia! Other teams, what should they do?"

The official of the AFC was in a cold sweat. He didn't know what medicine Pei Wei had taken wrongly, so he had to slightly modify what Pei Wei said, so that he was not so sharp and handed it in.

These few words of Pei Wei caused an uproar after they spread out, but that was already a later event. (To be continued, if you want to know what happens next, please visit www.CMFU.COM, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
