Football irons are burning

Chapter 91

Out!
In the penalty shootout, the Croatian team defeated the Chinese team 8:6 and reached the semi-finals. The historical trajectory of the Plaid Army has not changed.

The historical trajectory of the World Cup has not changed.

Zheng Zhi had tears in his eyes, he was the last penalty shooter, unfortunately, the game was over before it was his turn.

Wei Daxia patted him on the shoulder, but did not speak.

The sad atmosphere of the Chinese team at this time gradually spread.

At this moment, Li Tie yelled suddenly: "Brothers, you are all doing well. Let's start over for the next World Cup. I will take you on the highway!"

Li Tie was also quite upset, but at this moment morale needs to be encouraged, and the self-confidence of teammates needs to be cultivated better.

"Good job!"

"Good job!"

"Good job!"

The Chinese fans wiped away their tears and immediately cheered for the national football team.

Reaching the top 8 in the World Cup for the first time is indeed a good job, and the answer sheet handed over to the Chinese fans is also a satisfactory answer sheet.

Rehhagel immediately greeted the players and collectively bowed to the stands to thank them.

The curtain call of the Chinese team slowly closed.

"It's a pity that we fell in the penalty shootout. We were only a few minutes away from the top four. But we don't cry. Our players have dedicated an excellent World Cup to all fans. They are still young and have plenty of opportunities. In the next World Cup, we will definitely make a comeback!"

Huang Daxian's eyes were red and his voice was choked up.

The loss of the ball at the last moment broke his heart.

Huang Daxian felt even more painful when he lost the penalty shootout.

Zhang Hehe also regretted and said: "Hey, it's a pity, we are no worse than our opponents. But football games often have these accidents, making continuous mistakes at the last moment, allowing the opponent to tie the score. Xiao Huang, you are right. I think the next World Cup will definitely be rewarding. By then, the players will be more mature, and it will be played in Asia. I think we should look forward to it."

In the post-match press conference, Blazevic didn’t mention his players, but he was full of praise for the Chinese team: “We defeated a formidable opponent. Their fighting power was very strong, and they once put us in a desperate situation. The young Chinese team must be the favorite to win the next World Cup. They have many talented players. They are still very young. After training, I think they can definitely achieve better results. I wish them well.”

Rehagel said: "The team members have done their best, let's go home now!"

Rehhagel was obviously not reconciled if there were no extra words.

The myth of Kaiserslautern did not continue to the World Cup. What the old coach is thinking in his heart will only be known in the next World Cup.

There is no doubt that he will renew his contract, and he has completed the task very well.

The Chinese team's World Cup trip was over, and when they returned to the hotel, the team announced their disbandment.

The players finally began to relax themselves, and overall, everyone basically came out of the defeat quickly.

After all, it is not bad to be able to reach the top 8.

Of course, there must be some people who use alcohol to drown their sorrows.

Such as Ma Yongkang, such as Shao Jiayi.

The two got drunk that night and were sent back to the hotel, still crying.

Octopus was also drunk, he scored twice, but the team lost the game, and he was not in a good mood.

Some international footballers who didn't get the chance to play were also drunk. It's really happy and sad.

Although Li Tie didn't drink, he didn't care about them. It's rare to get drunk a few times in life. Now they are suffering, so let them drink.

The next day, major media also commented on the Sino-Croatian battle.

L'Equipe: The contest between the two World Cup recruits ended with Croatia having the last laugh. The Chinese team led most of the time, but made a mistake at the last moment.Su Ke saved Croatia, but the Chinese team is more worthy of our expectations.

Daily Sports Daily: The Chinese team failed to go further, but they remained unbeaten in the regular time of this World Cup. This is a team full of talent. They fell in the penalty shootout.

The Sun: The Chinese team has returned home, but they are not losers. They are full of talent. The next World Cup is worth looking forward to. However, their failure to go further is largely due to the suspension of Li Tie and Li Datou.

The World Cup is over, and the players will divide their things.

This time there is no need to go back to the country collectively. There was originally a celebration party in China, but it was also rejected by Rehhagel.

After all, it was only a top 8, and Rehhagel felt too embarrassed to participate in the celebration party.

The idea of ​​the cadres is to show their achievements, let the outside world and the leaders see it, and prove that their work is very effective.

But I am afraid that this will not play a big role in the development of football itself.

In addition, it is already July, and the leagues of various countries have entered the preparation period.

And there are many players from the five major league teams in the Chinese team. What kind of celebration party are they participating in?Hurry back to the club to prepare for the new season, this is the best for their development.

Therefore, as soon as Rehhagel communicated with the cadres, the celebration party was cancelled.

The cadres also bought Rehhagel's face. After all, this is the first time they led the team and brought the national football team to the top 8 of the World Cup. The cadres have to count on Rehhagel to continue to lead the national football team to create better results.

Without these ties, many international players flew back to their respective clubs directly to prepare for the new league season.

Especially the overseas players who have just joined the new team, such as Sun Jihai and Octopus, all hurried to the UK to officially meet with the team.

Kaiserslautern's summer training camp was arranged in China, so Li Tie flew back to China with his returning teammates.

On the plane, Li Tie quickly made everyone laugh and forget the pain of the World Cup.

Young people, emotions come and go quickly.

Originally, the top 8 was a good result, and it was acceptable. Who would expect the Chinese team to really win the championship?At least for now, no one has this extravagant hope.

Rehhagel and Prieto are also on vacation, and everyone is even more unscrupulous, making all kinds of jokes.

Li Tie also saw that there were some teammates teasing the stewardesses. These animals are really thieves. Of course, there is no problem with being a fair lady and a gentleman. I just hope that they can develop better in the future.

Zheng Zhi and Shao Jiayi, who were sitting next to Li Tie, also relaxed and chatted happily with Li Tie.

"Your performance is good, and you will definitely enter the first team in the new season. Now let's look at Magath's formation. If you continue to perform well, the three of us will form a Chinese troika, and there will be no problem at all."

Li Tie said.

Zheng Zhi said: "I haven't turned 18 yet, so I guess I have to wait a month before I can register."

The Bundesliga currently stipulates that players must be at least 18 years old in order to be registered as an official Bundesliga player.

Zheng Zhi is still more than a month away, so he really has to wait.

Li Tie said with a smile: "It's not a problem. Your performance in the World Cup is obvious to all. How can Magath be willing to waste your youth on the youth team? What position do you like to play?"

Zheng Zhi said: "Of course it's the attacking midfielder. I like to attack, not to defend."

Li Tie smiled and said: "In this way, you will have to compete for employment. I have hired many good players. Among them, you have seen Stankovic's strength. That kid is a good midfielder. In addition, there is a Brazilian player Deco who can also play as a midfielder."

"Brother Tie, where did you get so many good players? The people in your company are really talented." Shao Jiayi said.

Li Tie said: "This season, my goal is to win the Triple Crown. Of course, I have to reserve talents. These people are all poached from various countries. Their reputation is not particularly big, but their strength is absolutely fine. Just look at it. At the end of the season, we will definitely have a few more trophies in our hands. Xiao Shao, you have to work hard and practice the skill of cutting in. Your speed and skills are fine now. After a few years of training, you can go to a team to play alone. Intense, after a short rest, the main position may be taken away."

Shao Jia nodded. He and Zheng Zhi are both very fragile now, and they need to rest for a few days before they can recover.

If you don't pay attention, it is really easy to cause major injuries. In the World Cup year, many players were destroyed.

When we arrived at the Capital Airport, there were huge crowds of fans who came to pick us up, which was very spectacular.

It is estimated that someone in the media has spread the whereabouts of the national football team.

Although the national football team finally stopped in the top 8, the fans still recognize this national team very much and think that it has reached a very high level.

The media also recognizes the national football team very much. The domestic media have used the current strongest national football team to describe the national team.

Therefore, there are many fans and media who came to pick up the plane.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the national football team still chose to leave through another channel.

After they came out, the national team officially came to an end and went their separate ways.

The next concentration will be the Asian Cup two years later.

"Brothers, have a good journey!"

After Li Tie finished speaking, he also left in a hurry.
