The strongest winger

Chapter 846
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the Chinese fans and Chinese reporters at the Royal Bafokeng Stadium were very excited, and their cheers were circling around the stadium, and the stadium has long been a joyful gathering place for Chinese players. As the team's biggest contributor to the quarter-finals, Ai Luo has become the primary target of his teammates' mischief!

Aiello, who scored and assisted in this game, is naturally the well-deserved best player on the spot and deserves his name.

At the same time, Tang Shun, chairman of the Chinese Football Association, and Lin Yao, vice chairman, who accompanied the bosses of major companies in China to watch the game, raised their arms and shouted along with the fans in the stands.

At this moment...they are part of thousands of fans.

Dalian Wanda Chairman Wang Jianlin, who has always been associated with Chinese football, is ready to increase investment in domestic football at this moment. The spring of Chinese football he has been waiting for has come.

China is a big country with a population of 13 billion. As long as the domestic football environment is good and there is football belief, there will be a steady stream of successors to appear...

Thinking of the separation of management and management of the General Administration of Sports before the World Cup and the detailed ten-year training plan for youth football planned by the Football Association, I should also contribute a little bit!
Xu Jiayin, chairman of Hengda who has just taken over Guangzhou Football, is even more convinced that investing in Chinese football will not only increase the popularity of his real estate company, but also indirectly accelerate the ten-year training plan for Chinese football youth!

The domestic tycoons who accepted the two leaders of the Football Association to watch the 1/8 finals of the Chinese national team began to have their own detailed plans.

The so-called greater ability, greater responsibility!
As the best player of the game, Ai Luo just finished hugging and celebrating with his teammates when he was surrounded by a swarm of reporters, as if he was not allowed to leave without answering questions.

However, the Chinese team easily won the game 3:1 and advanced to the quarter-finals. Ai Luo was in a good mood, so he didn't dislike the media interview. Instead, he smiled at the middle-aged ESPN reporter who was desperately squeezing outside and said, "Hey, that uncle, why are you turning your head? You are talking about you!!"

Three black lines flashed on the brows of the ESPN middle-aged reporter. Nima is an uncle, and I am only in his early thirties, okay? But thinking of the unhappiness that happened with Ai Luo earlier, in order to avoid slaps in the face in public, he had to put on a smile that was uglier than crying, and said: "Congratulations to the Chinese team for qualifying to the World Cup quarter-finals. What is the next plan?"

As the saying goes, if you reach out and don't hit the smiling face, although the smile is very ugly, you can still pass it. Ai Luo cast an idiot expression and said: "The next plan? Of course it is to prepare for the quarter-finals!"

Originally, Aiello wanted to tease this lovely ESPN middle-aged reporter, but time was running out, and the reporter of "French Football" hurriedly asked questions.

So... Ai Luo turned his attention to dealing with other reporters.

Of course, Chinese journalists are given special treatment.

At the press conference after the game, Bradley, the head coach of the US team, admitted that he underestimated the Chinese team and underestimated Ai Luo's personal ability, which was why he was completely passive throughout the game.

After venting, Bradley also friendly congratulated the Chinese team for advancing to the quarterfinals of the World Cup, hoping to go further and further...

It was Gao Hongbo's turn to attend the regular post-match press conference. He faced the victory of the game more sincerely. When the major media mentioned whether the Chinese team could equal the Korean team's record of creating the semi-finals of Asian teams, he only said that he would not know until the end of the specific game.

In Gao Hongbo's heart, he already knew that the quarter-finals would be the end of the Chinese team. It was Ai Luo's credit to be able to advance to the top 1. It was an obvious advantage in strength to win the US team in the 4/1 finals, but it was also the extra luck brought by the promotion to the top 8...

If England was the first in the group, then...the current press conference is not in a happy mood.

※※※

At 08:30 p.m. local time in South Africa, another 1/8 final match kicked off at the Soccer City Stadium in Johannesburg. The two sides of the match were Argentina and Mexico. At the same time, the winner of this game will also be the opponent of the Chinese team in the quarter-finals. Therefore, the Chinese team players who returned to the hotel were called by the head coach Gao Hongbo to watch the live broadcast of the game collectively in the hotel conference room.

This 1/8 final was similar to the story of the Chinese team VS US team. Argentina led 3-0 in the first and second half, and then Mexico saved face with a goal scored by Hernandez at the end of the game.

In the end, Argentina defeated Mexico 3:1, which means that the opponent of the Chinese team in the quarter-finals is...Argentina!

When the whole game was over, the Chinese players who stayed at the hotel to watch the game subconsciously shook their heads. Compared to facing Argentina in the quarter-finals, they would rather face the weaker Mexico. In this way, they could rewrite the record of Asian teams entering the World Cup semi-finals created by the Korean guys through the back door eight years ago...

Even He Wei, who was in charge of the on-site commentary, sighed and said: "The game is over, and the opponents of the Chinese team in the quarter-finals of the World Cup in South Africa have come out. They are Argentina, which has won the World Cup twice!"

On the contrary, Ai Luo took a more open view. He stood up, glanced at his relatively decadent teammates, clapped his hands, waited for everyone's attention, and then said: "I know everyone must be in a bad mood. In fact... I am the same. Two years ago, Xiao Ting, Xu Ri, Jun Min, Gao Lin, Xiao Lei and I lost to the Argentine Olympic team in Gongti, and now we are facing a stronger Argentine national team. Everyone is not optimistic about us. 'Who will win? It is estimated that 1% of the people will say Argentina, but we cannot think so ourselves..."

“足球比赛为什么会成为世界第一运动？因为这项运动充满不确定性，当初名不见经传的美国队还可以击败世界第一的英格兰，再想想1966年的朝鲜队，他们就1：0击败当时的夺冠热门意大利挺近八强？1990年世界杯揭幕战，名不见经传的喀麦隆还不是1：0击败马拉多纳带领的阿根廷？2002年揭幕战的塞内加尔是不是也1：0击败卫冕冠军法国？”

Ai Luo cited so many examples in one breath that many teammates didn't react.

But the only certainty is... their fighting spirit gradually recovered.

"... We have entered the quarterfinals of the World Cup, and we are the semi -finals, and we can reach this stage. I believe that Chinese people are very proud of our efforts. Even if they are not defeated by Argentina, no one blames us. After all, strength is here. Do n’t forget ... Argentina is different, they ca n’t lose! The place we can use! As long as we can invest 100%of the combat effectiveness, and insist that when the Argentine people become irritable, it is when we are deadly !! "

Listening to Ai Luo's words, everyone is full of blood and fighting spirit, and can't wait to play a quarter-final against Argentina. Anyway, if they lose the game, they will not be condemned by domestic fans. If they win the game, then they will equal the history created by South Korea through the back door and become a national idol. What a deal!

Gao Hongbo also realized that he had fallen into a misunderstanding. No matter how strong the Argentine team is, it doesn't mean that they don't have a fight!

The next day, the media reports that focused on the World Cup were not the Chinese and Argentine teams that advanced to the quarter-finals, but Aiello!

He scored a goal in the 1/8 finals when the Chinese team eliminated the US team, which means that his number of World Cup goals this season has become seven.

From the history of the World Cup, from the World Cup in West Germany in 1974 to the World Cup in South Africa in 2010, except for the Polish striker Gelato who scored seven goals in 1974 and Ronaldo who scored eight goals in 2002, the top scorer of the other seven World Cups all scored six goals.

Klose, the best scorer in the last World Cup, scored five goals and won the Golden Boot award. This is the best proof, but this World Cup, Aiello scored an astonishing seven goals in only four games. How can it not cause a sensation?
The UEFA Champions League and the League are different from the World Cup. These two events can be participated in every season, but the World Cup is different. It happens every four years, and you have to participate in multiple World Cup qualifiers before you can enter the final stage, which has a higher gold content.

High gold content equals higher honor, and higher honor means that the team with better defense can win the final championship. Italy, which came to the end in 2006, is the best example.

However, some media reported that Aiello's scoring journey should be over, because they met Argentina, the favorite to win the championship, in the quarter-finals!
No matter how strong Ai Luo's personal ability is, it cannot make up for the huge gap in the entire team.

Then it talked about the two old enemies of Aiello and Messi.

From the Netherlands World Youth Championship in 2005 to the BJ Olympics in 2008, and now to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

In the past two events, the two won one game each, and the next quarter-finals of the World Cup will be the third duel between the two, which attracts attention.

There are still four 1/8 finals that have not yet started, and the media campaign is already brewing.

And the media's momentum has also allowed Aiello and Messi to sign Telefónica to find a place to hype...

After a short discussion, a professional advertising company quickly took an extremely attractive name --- Battle of the Enemy.
