Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 527 Heaven Rewards Diligence
Although Milu gave all the players a day off, but after a fierce game, after a good night's rest, none of the players walked out of the hotel for recreation—they basically all gathered in the lobby Chatting over a cup of coffee, or running to the pool table for a couple of shots, both assistant coaches were a little surprised.

"Hey, they're quite self-conscious." After looking around, Tang Pengju confirmed that all the players had indeed stayed in the hotel, and none of them went out: "Didn't they say they were resting today? Why didn't they say they were playing in Seoul?" Playing? This is the capital of South Korea, and now is the busiest time..."

"Today is a holiday, you remember correctly." Chu Guanghu who was next to him answered, "But these guys are really self-aware, even if they don't have a holiday, they would find a way to sneak out to play..."

"Are you talking about the 90s?" Pei Wei's voice came from next to them, and the two turned their heads together, just in time to see Pei Wei smiling at them with a cup of coffee: "When are these old calendars... now most domestic clubs The training system has started to be adopted. The players have plenty of time to entertain themselves. Is it necessary to sneak out? Besides, it is during the World Cup. Is there anyone who dares to sneak out at this time... It is not a training camp I couldn’t bear it for several months.”

Tang Pengju and Chu Guanghu laughed at the same time. In fact, they also knew this, and they were just joking.

"Vice Chairman Pei, you got up early." The two walked over and sat down beside Pei Wei, and each ordered a cup of coffee.

"It's not too early, and I don't have the habit of sleeping late." Pei Wei said with a smile: "Besides, it's the World Cup period, and there are many things to see. Even if you don't understand Korean, it's not bad to find a foreign language station to watch. ...Also, don't call me vice chairman, just my name, my title of vice chairman is just a false title, not countable."

"Then what do you think of this afternoon's game? If Turkey wins Costa Rica by two goals, then we will be passive... Now our goal difference is zero, and they only need to win two goals to surpass us by one..." Chu Mitsuto said a little worried.

"If we only win one, we will be tied with us, and we still have an advantage in the number of goals...what are you afraid of." Pei Wei said lazily.

"That can't be said in the same way. Turkey only lost one goal to Brazil. It should be easier to win against Costa Rica." Tang Pengju said.

"Don't underestimate Costa Rica." Pei Wei smiled mysteriously: "Maybe they will bring us a surprise... How about it, do you want to make a bet? I bet that Turkey can't beat Costa Rica by two goals...Maybe not It will be even."

"Then what's the bet?" Chu Guanghu asked.

"Just bet on a cup of coffee, how dare I beat you too much!" Pei Wei laughed loudly.

Tang Pengju and Chu Guanghu looked at each other, both of them looked skeptical.

Five p.m.

All the members of the Chinese team have gathered in the room of coach Milu. Fortunately, when booking the room, considering that Milu would often have a small meeting in the room, the biggest room was reserved for him. There are also most of the players who can only sit on the ground - anyway, it is summer, and there is no problem sitting on wooden floor tiles.

The game on TV has already started. The two teams that lost the first game played proactively and continued to attack through the two wings. Okan played for Inter Milan and Hakan Unsal played for Blackburn. The two wings are the main attack points, while in the center, Inter Milan's Emre and Bayer Leverkusen's Basturk continue to attack. The striker is still one high and one fast. Hakan Suker and Hassan Sass.

Costa Rica was not to be outdone. Instead of retreating and counterattacking, they fought against Turkey. The offensive and defensive rhythms of both sides were very fast, and they often launched counterattacks just after the offensive ended. The scene was very exciting.

The attention of the Chinese team is basically focused on the Turkish players, especially the main players. They began to carefully observe the characteristics of the Turkish players-in four days, they will compete with their opponents.

The two sides scored [-]-[-] in the first half. This result made the Chinese team a little more relaxed. Even Tang Pengju and Chu Guanghu were happy about it-although this ending may make them lose their bet with Pei Wei .

"The height of their players is average, especially the midfielders." Nie Fei said: "Yunsar, Okan, Emre and Basturk are all only about 1.7 meters tall, and their bodies are not very strong. , we should be able to occupy some advantages in this respect.”

"Turkey has produced some small and technical midfielders in the past few years. We can't just underestimate them." Milu said: "These four people can gain a foothold in the five major leagues, which in itself has already shown their strength. Strength, and they are not bad in terms of average height, several defenders are over 1.8 meters five, forward Hakan Suk is a giant over 1.9 meters... In terms of height, we have no advantage."

"And even in the midfield, we may not have a big advantage... Their midfielder Davala is also 1.8 meters five. Except for Jiang Hai and Adriano, our other main players are not as tall as him... So in this respect, we are at a disadvantage." Pei Wei also agreed with Milu.

"Everyone should remember that maybe in Asia, our physical fitness is top-notch, but compared with European players, our height is still not enough, and we are also at a disadvantage in confrontation ability, so we cannot rely solely on our physical fitness." Milu Then he said: "Turkey is definitely a strong opponent. Their players are all playing in Europe and have rich experience, and their results in the European Championship two years ago are also very good. The game four days later will be a Hard work."

"The second half is about to start...I think the second half will be much more exciting." Pei Wei smiled: "After all, the draw is not too important to both of them..."

"Turkey is leading!" In the 9 minutes of the game, Emre, who played for Inter Milan, shot from outside the penalty area to help Turkey break the deadlock first. The Turkish fans immediately cheered, while the Costa Rica fans were sad ——If this game is also lost, then Costa Rica will be eliminated early-becoming the fourth team to be eliminated early after Slovenia, Saudi Arabia, and Nigeria.

"Don't score the second goal..." All the members of the Chinese team were praying, only Pei Wei was watching TV with a smile on his face, looking confident.

In the next game, the offense of the two sides played even more without scruples-for Turkey, the result of winning only one goal is the same as a tie. In other words, they must at least equalize the score in order to retain the last hope of qualifying.

The two sides created countless chances in the rest of the game, but perhaps because the offensive players were too nervous, the forwards of both sides repeatedly missed good opportunities to score goals. Wanchope and Hakan Suk each almost scored once. The shot hit the post.

No. 806 minutes...

Vanchope's shot in the penalty area was blocked by Turkish goalkeeper Rustu, but the ball was not cleared out of the penalty area. Costa Rica striker Pax, who came on as a substitute, slammed the ball hard from less than three meters away from the goal Pulled into the empty door!
One to one tie!
"Long live!" The Chinese players watching the game cheered as loudly as the Costa Rican players - this goal gave them reassurance, and there were only a few minutes before the end of the game, even if Turkey could still score , It is also impossible to beat Costa Rica by more than two goals, which means that in the match on June [-], the Chinese team only needs to get a draw to advance to the top [-] of the World Cup and create a new history!
"Pei Wei, you really hit the spot! Instead of winning two goals, they just tied!"

After the whistle sounded for the end of the game, the Chinese players began to cheer, while Tang Pengju shouted excitedly at Pei Wei.

Pei Wei smiled and made a "V" gesture to them, and then said, "Don't forget our bet..."

"No problem, it's just coffee!" Chu Guanghu laughed loudly: "Don't say it's yours, we both bought everyone's coffee!"

"Thank God, he didn't abandon us!" Milu also had an excited expression on his face: "I have already started to regret the adventure in yesterday's game! But now I know that God is still on our side!"

"Heaven rewards hard work." Pei Wei said with a smile: "God is on our side because we have been working hard. We deserve it! This is a reward from God!"

On June [-]th, the second round of the group stage was over. After this round, four teams returned home early.

Among the Asian teams, apart from Saudi Arabia, which has been eliminated after a two-game losing streak, among the top three in East Asia, the Chinese team has the worst performance. They only scored three points in two games. With one win and one tie accumulating four points, they have basically won the right to qualify, but in the comments, the Chinese team has received a higher evaluation than the two strong teams of Japan and South Korea!
As Pei Wei said, God rewards those who work hard. Although the Chinese team still lost the game against Brazil, they still received countless applause for their performance that almost drove Brazil to a dead end!

PS: Well, for the update of the 100th vote, don't worry, there will be two more chapters today.
