Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 274 Normal Heart

The first victory of the Chinese team in the World Cup is also the first victory of an Asian team in this World Cup. From this point of view, the Chinese team is much luckier than the old enemy South Korea. Including this World Cup, they have participated in consecutive It has been four World Cups, but they are still struggling to win a victory. Their opponent in the second round of the group stage is the powerful Dutch team. It seems that the time for their first World Cup victory will be extended.

All the fans know that the Korean team has very little chance of winning against the Dutch team, but except for Pei Wei, no one thought that the Korean team would lose so embarrassingly—they are proud of their physical advantages and tenacious fighting spirit. In front of the overall strength, they were completely defeated. They were chasing the ball throughout the game, but the ball was firmly controlled by the Dutch team. While consuming a lot of their energy, the Dutch goals were coming one after another. , Cocu, Overmars, Bergkamp, ​​Hoydonk, Franco De Boer's five goals completely pushed the South Korean team into the abyss, becoming the first Asian team to be eliminated At the same time, it also allowed the Dutch team to get enough goal difference. In the last game, they can only fight for honor.

The Iranian team became the second Asian team to win. They defeated the US team 804-[-] in the second round. Madavikia's goal in No.[-] minutes established the victory for them, although in the end In one round, they had to defeat the mighty German team to qualify for the group stage, but in any case, they still retained a glimmer of hope of qualifying.

However, the focus of this game is not on the field. Before the kick-off, the players from Iran and the United States mixed together to take pictures, so that football and peace are closely linked. From this perspective, this scene seems to be more important than the final score. Can be remembered.

Following South Korea, Japan was also eliminated - they lost to Croatia again with a score of zero to one. Suk's goal allowed the Japanese team to qualify early while also allowing the Japanese team to be eliminated early. The situation in this group is probably The clearest thing is that Argentina and Croatia have both qualified after two rounds, and the final round is just a competition for ranking.

Now it seems that among the four Asian teams, only the Chinese team has the most hope of entering the top [-]. South Korea and Japan have already been eliminated in advance. Although Iran still has hope, it is still very difficult to win against the German team. Although Germany has been going downhill in the past few years, their strong strength is still not something that Asian teams can shake, and the Iranian team has very little hope of qualifying.

Although the Danish team is also a relatively strong team in Europe, it is still a lot worse than Germany. The Chinese team is not hopeless.

But is Denmark really that easy to deal with?

Six years have passed since the Danish myth of 92, but the creator of that myth is still the main force of the Danish team. Goalkeeper Schmeichel, midfielder Michel Laudrup and striker Brian Laudrup are all Still maintaining their own form, the addition of a group of rookies Jorgensen and Sander has also enriched their strength. Laudrup, who had already decided to retire, came back before the start of the World Cup to increase their midfield strength. They are It is the biggest stone on the way for the Chinese team to qualify for the group stage.

There is no end to people's hearts. Originally, Pei Wei didn't have much hope for the Chinese team to qualify for the group stage. He knew that there was a champion and a top eight team among the opponents in this group. But at this moment, as long as they win If you play against your opponent, you will definitely qualify, and if you draw with your opponent, you can gamble on your luck by drawing lots.No matter who it is, they will start to face up to this problem: We really hope to enter the top sixteen!If they can enter the top 66, then this result will be equal to that of North Korea in [-] (they also qualified in the group at that time, but there were fewer teams at that time, and the group would go to the top eight) and Saudi Arabia in the previous session, becoming the best team in this World Cup. The most brilliant Asian team in the world!
"Pei! You have to maintain a normal mind! You must know that your attitude will affect the players! Against the Danish team, we must participate in the game with a normal mind, just like we did against France... Do you understand?" Benitez had to remind Pei Wei.

"I understand." Pei Wei said distressedly: "But I don't know how to control myself... Rafael, do you know what it means for us to qualify for the World Cup group? We have already achieved goals in the World Cup , We did it to win, qualifying from the group is our first goal now, and now this goal is in front of us, I can't control myself not to be excited!"

"As a fan, of course you can be as excited as you want! But you are not a fan now, you are one of the coaches of the national team, and your performance is the benchmark of player behavior!" Benitez said sharply: "Your every move will be seen by the players. When you are excited, they will also be excited, so they will lose the most important sense of normalcy on the court! Do you know why we can play so well against the French team? Because they played under pressure, but we didn't! Denmark are stronger than us, if we were under pressure first, we would have lost more than half of the game before the start of the game!"

What Benitez said surprised Pei Wei. Indeed, after becoming a member of the national team, he used such emotions to influence the players of the national team more from the perspective of a fan. It makes the players have a stronger sense of responsibility and a stronger desire to win, but it also makes the players become extreme without knowing it!

As a fan, it is natural to shout slogans such as "win or die" and "must qualify", but players can't think so. It is not a good thing to overdo anything. It is helpful to keep calm and excited. Players display stronger abilities.

"I understand." Pei Wei nodded, and re-examined himself: "Let me do the ideological work of the players."

At this moment, he returned to the boss Pei Wei, the boss who is calm, passionate and self-motivated, not the fanatical fan Pei Wei-the quality needed by an excellent soldier is to fight bravely and never leave his comrades. Don't give up, and the quality needed for an excellent commander is calm and courageous, daring to give up at critical moments. Football and war always have something in common.

In the next few days, Pei Wei was like an aunt from the neighborhood committee, constantly chatting with the players one by one, and the content of the conversation was probably about eating?how is the childAre you used to this period of time?We played very well this time. After returning to China, everyone will praise us. As long as we play well at our own level, no matter what the result is, we are all heroes. Don’t be burdened, really don’t be burdened. Thousands Don't be burdened...

The result was that the players of the national team turned around and ran away when they saw Pei Wei in the next few days. They were really afraid of being nagged by this guy. Several players have already put the title of "Tang Monk" on Pei Wei's head— —Of course, these players must have watched "Journey to the West".

Even Nie Fei, who likes to chat with Pei Wei the most, is like this - he was really dizzy by what he said, but the players didn't have time to think about the game after Pei Wei made such a fuss, and they didn't have any burden pressure.

"Hey, nagging is still useful." Pei Wei smiled privately and said to Benitez: "Annoy them, and I will hide when I see them, so I won't have time to think about the consequences of winning or losing the game." Now, sometimes the more you think about these things, the more pressure you get, and now even if they think about it occasionally, they won't be overwhelmed by the huge pressure."

"Aren't you afraid that the pressure in their hearts will explode during the game?" Benitez asked with a wry smile.

"Then what can I do?" Pei Wei glared: "If there is no pressure, then there will be no pressure? People will be nervous! All I can do is to make them think as little as possible... Other things, just It depends on the players themselves to solve it, and what I said these days is not for nothing, after all, we have achieved remarkable results now, even if we lose the last game and do not qualify, we can already explain the past."

"I hope so." Benitez murmured, "But there is a chance to enter the top sixteen, I don't think anyone will let it go."

"Me too." Pei Wei nodded: "I hope so too. Now that we have reached this point, there is no reason not to go further."

On June 23, the final round of the World Cup group stage kicked off.

For the sake of fairness, the last match of the group stage was scheduled to be held at the same time. In Group A, Morocco hoped that they had qualified after a 10-[-] victory over Scotland, but Norway miraculously made it out. In the last [-] minutes, Brazil scored two goals in a row, won Brazil [-]-[-], and squeezed the poor Moroccan out of the top [-]. In Group B, Italy defeated Austria [-]-[-], and came first in the group. Cameroon was defeated by Chile With a one-to-one draw, the Chilean team squeezed out their opponents by one point, and the African Lions had no choice but to go home.

On June 24, the match of Group C started.

Located in Lens, the Felix Boralt Stadium, which can accommodate more than 1000 people, is already full of seats. More than 1 Chinese fans and nearly [-] Danish fans have poured into the stadium early. Witnessed with my own eyes that my team qualified from this group and reached the top [-].

"Be normal. Everyone should maintain a normal heart." In the locker room, Pei Wei was doing the final mobilization: "This is not a decisive battle, but an ordinary game. If we win, we will enter the top sixteen. If we lose Now, let’s go home and draw – luck will determine our future, that’s all. And your performance has given the fans all over the country the greatest satisfaction. No matter what the result is, you will become the heroes of Chinese football. Become a part that will always be remembered by Chinese fans!"
