Chapter 540 Drunk In It
(Please collect! Please subscribe! Please recommend!)
After the match against Atletico Madrid.

It's national team match day.

Although the Asian qualifiers for the World Cup are over, the European qualifiers are not over yet.

Therefore, La Liga and European leagues have entered a short offseason.

The restart of La Liga will take half a month.

Taking advantage of the offseason, Bu Fan also returned to China.

The national football team has no games.

But Bu Fan and his teammates from the national team participated in a CCTV talk show.

in the show.

The most asked by the host is how far can the national football team go after participating in the World Cup?
The last time I entered the World Cup.

The record of the national football team is not ideal.

Lost to Costa Rica 0-2.

Lost to Brazil 0-4.

Lost to Türkiye 0-3.

Lost in all three games, no goals!
This is very different from the goal before the national football match.

At that time, Yan Shize, vice chairman of the Chinese Football Association, shouted the slogan of scoring a goal, scoring a point, and winning a game.

The media is also very optimistic.

It is believed that the Chinese team can win the small country Costa Rica and draw with Turkey, and will only lose to Brazil in the group stage.

If this is the result, the Chinese team may be able to qualify for the group stage.

But the three defeats made everyone kneel.

Costa Rica, regarded as an underdog by the Chinese team, has become a frequent visitor to the World Cup.

In the 06 World Cup in Germany, Costa Rica was not absent.

In the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, Costa Rica broke into the quarter-finals of the World Cup.

Although the Chinese team's World Cup trip was miserable, it did not match expectations at all.

But the Chinese team's ability to break into the 02 Korea-Japan World Cup did rely on its excellent strength.

Not to mention the bravery of Hao Haidong, a group of powerful players.

Just looking at the shortage of World Cup places, you can know how strong the Chinese team is.

In 2002, there were a total of 3.5 World Cup places in Asia.

South Korea and Japan jointly host the World Cup, with one country occupying the host spot and one country occupying the Asian spot.

Therefore, forty countries have to compete for only 2.5 places.

At that time, the World Cup qualifiers were divided into three stages.

In the first stage, 40 participating teams were divided into 10 groups, with 4 teams in each group, and the top team in the group advanced to the second stage.

in the first stage.

The Chinese team is divided with Cambodia, Indonesia and Maldives.

These three teams are all big teams.

The Chinese team advanced to the second stage without any suspense.

In the second stage, there are only 10 participating teams left, and these 10 teams are divided into two groups.

The 5 teams in each group will compete in a home and away double round robin.

The first place will directly get a place in the World Cup, and the second place in the two groups will have to participate in the third stage of the play-offs. The winner will compete with the second place in a group in the European qualifiers to compete for 0.5 World Cup places.

The Chinese team in 02 did not participate in the play-offs.

As the number one in the group, they will directly advance to the World Cup!

In contrast, the Iranian team, although not in the same group as the Chinese team, only won the second place in the group. In the Asia-Europe play-offs, they lost to Ireland and failed to participate in the World Cup.

It can be said that the Chinese team at that time was stronger than the Iranian team.

During the second stage.

The Chinese team is in the same group as the United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan, Qatar and Oman.

Eight world preliminaries were won.

The Chinese team had six wins, one draw and one loss, with 19 points, leading the No.2 United Arab Emirates by a full 8 points!
Compared with the Chinese team in 02.

Today's Chinese team is inferior in terms of overall strength, and the only advantage is the existence of super god substitute Bu Fan.

In 02, Hao Haidong was known as the number one in Asia.

But Bu Fan...has gone out of Asia and gone to the world, he is a world-class superstar.

A person as arrogant as Hao Haidong has publicly praised Bu Fan's ability on various occasions and expressed that he is ashamed.

The overall strength is not good.

In the World Cup, how far can the Chinese team go?Will it replicate the tragic ending of 02?
Bu Fan is indeed capable.

Comparable to Liverpool's Salah and Tottenham's Sun Xingmin.

Bu Fan is also called a super god substitute by fans.

But Bu Fan is just a person, a player.

La Liga teams can limit Bu Fan, who lives and plays in Leganes.

The opponents of the Chinese team can do the same.

Once Bu Fan can't play a role, who will heal the Chinese team's weakness?

When interviewing the head coach Lippi of the Chinese team, Lippi avoided this question... The Chinese team is very competitive in Asia, and we can gain something in the World Cup.

This kind of answer is tantamount to no answer.

What is gaining?Is it a goal, is it a tie to get a point, or is it a victory over an opponent, or even qualifying for the World Cup group?
How would Bu Fan answer the same question?
When the host threw the question to Bu Fan.

The members of the national team who recorded the program got serious.

Lesson learned, they are very worried about the future of the national team in the World Cup.

Bu Fan said: "How far can the World Cup go? Maybe... we should consider how to create the history of the Chinese team in the World Cup."

The same ambiguous answer.

But Bu Fan has an extremely strong self-confidence.

This is what Lippi lacks.

It's not because Lippi is weak.

The head coach selects, employs, chooses tactics, and rehearses tactics.

But on the pitch.

The role of the head coach's on-the-spot response is no longer decisive.

It depends on the performance of the players on the court.

After Lippi coached the Chinese team, the most obvious feeling is that the national football team is at the top level in Asia in the league, but it is second-rate and third-rate in Asia when playing for the national team.

It is difficult to show your true strength in the competition.

What confidence can Lippi have?
The only player who can make Lippi confident is Bu Fan.

But just as the media and fans are worried, if Bu Fan can't do it, who else in the Chinese team can do it?
The Chinese team may be the team with the most serious star player dependence in the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

Lippi can only rely on Bufan.

Bu Fan is confident, which is a good thing.

After finishing the world preliminaries, the Lippi team has returned to his hometown of Italy for vacation, and did not participate in the CCTV talk show.

If he heard Bu Fan's confident answer, he would probably be happy.

Leading the Chinese team is a challenge.

But there is also a kind of fun in it.

In many cases, he can act as a shopkeeper and put the burden of scoring and winning on Bu Fan.

Lippi really wanted to say to the Chinese Football Association... a little more Bufan, a little less trouble.

The present host and the players of the Chinese national team also cheered up.

They applauded enthusiastically.

For Bu Fan's self-confidence, and for the national team to create more historical records in the World Cup.

They may be lucky enough to witness the creation of historical records, which is also a great joy in life!
Playing football with Bu Fan is like drinking fine wine, having fun and getting drunk!
