Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 474 Not Exciting Enough
After the game against Uzbekistan, the national team was disbanded on the spot, overseas players returned to their clubs, and domestic players got a week's rest. They can use this time to go home to visit their families and let their mental health relax for a moment.

It went so smoothly, it really went so smoothly, I guess even the most optimistic Chinese fans did not expect that the top ten match went so smoothly, which also made Chinese fans watch the Chinese team's bye in an unprecedented state of relaxation Contest.

In the match on September 21, Iran and Qatar won the away game respectively. Iran defeated Uzbekistan [-]-[-] in the away game, and Qatar beat Oman with three goals in the away game, occupying the second and third positions respectively. Oman has five games With only one point, the hope of qualifying has basically been lost, while Iran with nine points, Qatar with seven points and Uzbekistan with six points still have hope.

"Whoever ranks second, we will beat him down!" The Chinese media yelled such a voice at the end of this round - the Chinese team's opponent Iran happened to be ranked second and third in the group in the next match. In the first game, Qatar ranked second and was beaten by the Chinese team away. In the fourth game, Uzbekistan ranked second and was easily defeated by the Chinese team at home. Now, it is Iran's turn.

It’s no wonder that the Chinese media have such confidence and arrogance—the performance of the Chinese team really gave them the capital to make such a statement. Even if they are playing away, they are still facing the Iranian team and their devil’s home stadium, the Azadi Stadium. Still have the confidence to defeat the opponent!

After the two games, the Chinese team gathered in BJ, and then chartered a flight to Tehran, while the overseas players flew directly from Europe to Tehran, and then joined the national team there.

As long as the opponent is defeated in this game, and if Qatar cannot beat Uzbekistan at home in the other game, then the Chinese team will get tickets for the 2002 World Cup three rounds in advance!

So in this game, Milu also dispatched all the main lineup, must beat the opponent in the away game, and directly enter the World Cup!

The last-ditch Iranian team put up a tenacious resistance, but the suspense was broken in the second half-Nie Fei broke into the penalty area after playing a beautiful two-for-one cooperation with Deco in the No.603 minute of the game, facing the attacking team. The goalkeeper easily volleyed and broke the deadlock!

The Iranian team launched a tide-like attack in the rest of the time, but the Chinese team, which was fully recovered, still tenaciously kept the score until the end-the Chinese team won the fifth consecutive victory!
However, news came from another field that Qatar scored a key goal at the last moment, beating Uzbekistan [-]-[-] at home, and ranked second with points. However, the Chinese team still has not won the first place in the group theoretically.

This theory means that if the Chinese team loses all the last three games and Qatar wins all, then the Chinese team will be surpassed by Qatar by one point-in fact, everyone knows that this is impossible!
So fans across the country are more happy than sorry. The next game against Oman is at home. As long as they score one point, they can secure the right to qualify. Wouldn’t it be more meaningful to save the grandest celebration for the home game?
********************************************
October [-]th, Yunjia!
This medium-sized city has become a holy place where countless Chinese fans flock to. Since the day the Chinese team returned to Yunjia, countless fans have flocked to Yunjia, waiting for the moment that makes them extremely excited!
The influx of countless fans in a short period of time made the Yunjia City government both happy and worried. The good news is that so many fans have flooded into Yunjia City. They must eat, drink, and live. Could it be fans who have no spending power? How much wealth will the consumption of so many people bring to the entire Yunjia City?How many development opportunities will it bring to the economic development of Yunjia City?What is worrying is that the influx of so many outsiders in a short period of time is also a considerable test for the security of Yunjia City!

So now the Yunjia City Government is very conflicted. They hope that the game will start as soon as possible, but also hope that the game will start as late as possible-the later the game starts, the longer the fans from other places will stay in Yunjia. The greater the city's income, the greater the pressure on law and order, and on the day the game starts, fans will gather near the Fengyun Stadium, so the pressure on law and order will be reduced a lot.

Naturally, the passage of time will not be shifted by human will. Time is still neither fast nor slow, neither long nor short. On October [-]th, Chinese football has also ushered in another historic moment!

The eighth round of the top ten match is also the sixth game of the Chinese team. They will face Oman at home. As long as they can beat their opponents, no matter how Iran and Qatar win or lose in the other game, the Chinese team will win the group two rounds ahead of schedule. One, directly enter the World Cup finals.

In the face of five games, one draw and four losses, only one point was accumulated, only one goal was scored and thirteen goals were conceded. Oman, a veritable team in this group, has no reason for the Chinese team, which has won five consecutive victories, not to win?Is there any reason not to enter the World Cup?
Cut the mess with a sharp knife!This is Milu's choice!

Although facing the weakest opponent in the group, Milu still dispatched all the main lineup. First, because the main lineup mainly composed of overseas players may not have many opportunities to practice together before the start of the World Cup finals. Now play more One game is one game, and the second is to ensure that you qualify in advance, so that in the next two games, you can send substitute players in the form of training to familiarize yourself with the game, and it is also an opportunity to show your face.

The game went smoothly, and the Oman team, who had no hope of winning at all, retreated and defended from the beginning of the game. Their tactic that the tiger does not come out of the hole once made the Chinese team's offense encounter great difficulties. ——Facing a tortoise whose head and limbs are fully shrunk in its shell, even a tiger would find it difficult to bite.

However, the Chinese team opened the door to victory in the first half. In the 301st minute, Nie Fei and Deke played a two-for-one match and then split the ball to the left. Ma Tian received the ball and made a pass. Hao Dong came on as a substitute Under the cover of Adriano, Yang Tian stabbed the goal five meters in front of the goal, one to zero!

After the start of the second half, Milu replaced Nie Fei, who looked tired on the court, with Yu Genwei. This substitution immediately worked. No. 701 minutes, Li Gang kicked the ball from the side, and Yang Tian and Adriano made consecutive headers After the ferry, Yu Genwei, who came in behind, shot a strong shot near the penalty spot, and the ball went into the net for the second time!

With a [-]-[-] lead, the Chinese team has basically secured the victory. In this case, they began to control the ball, and Milu continued to control the situation on the field through substitutions.

When the game was over in a few minutes, the players on the field didn't attack much, they just tossed the ball under their feet, and the fans in the stands didn't pay attention to the game anymore. Constant cheering, waiting for the moment when the game is over.

Finally, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game just as the 10 minutes were up, and there was a landslide and tsunami-like cheers from the stands!

"The World Cup, here we come!" These seven characters appeared on the screen broadcast by the sports channel, and at the same time, firecrackers rang out all over the country!

All the players of the Chinese team poured into the stadium to celebrate, and the fans at the scene jumped from the stands and rushed into the stadium, and countless national flags began to wave in the center of the field!

Pei Wei was not in this ranks, he was still sitting in the stands, and looked at the stadium with a smile on his face with Su Mei - although the lawn had been ruined, he didn't feel any heartache.

"Hehe, Su Mei, I suddenly feel that qualifying this time is not as good as last time..." Pei Wei said with a smile.

"Then how can it be compared? Last time was historic after all, but not this time." Su Mei was stunned for a moment, then replied.

"I don't think it's just because of this." Pei Wei shook his head: "Maybe it's because the game went too smoothly... Although it feels good to qualify for six consecutive victories, it seems to be better than going through all the hard work at the last moment It's so exciting to get the qualification."

"Wow, you're a masochist." Su Mei smiled and said, "Isn't it good to qualify smoothly? Do you know how many Chinese fans will have a heart attack if you have to wait until the last moment?"

"That's true." Pei Wei laughed: "It is a good thing to be able to go smoothly... This makes me look forward to next year's World Cup! I am a person who likes to pursue excitement, but now the Chinese team is in Asia. It seems that it can't bring me any stimulation..."

As he was talking, Nie Fei, who was wearing a national flag, ran over to the stands excitedly, yelling: "Damn, boss, lady boss, what are you doing sitting in the stands, come down quickly, and come down with us!" Let's celebrate together!"

Zhu Guosheng, Wu Jiang, Deke, and Adriano who followed behind also shouted, "Okay!" Pei Wei laughed loudly, then stood up holding Su Mei's hand.

Indeed, compared with the ups and downs of the Top Ten Tournament in 97, this trip to the Top Ten Tournament can be regarded as a smooth one, although it does not make the fans feel less excited. But it does lack a little suspense and a little excitement.

But... Pei Wei looked at the faces of the fans in the field who were almost distorted with joy, and his mood also became agitated——

So what does it matter?The important thing is that we have indeed qualified and entered the World Cup finals two rounds ahead of schedule. Next year, Chinese fans will not need to support other teams. In a city where the Chinese team participates in the competition, we can proudly say that One sentence: "I am Chinese!"

Why did you join Chinese football?Isn't it just to make Chinese fans feel less pain and regret?At least now, I have done this to a certain extent!
