Chapter 54 World Cup Round of 16

After three difficult rounds of group matches, the Chinese team finally emerged as first in the group.

It's almost like a dream.

But seeing it right in front of me was extremely exciting.

At the Kazan Stadium, Chinese fans cheered one after another. The fans at the scene were completely unable to contain their excitement.

This is not only advancing to the finals, but also advancing as the first in the group.

It can be said that at this moment, the Chinese team created their historic moment!

Some elderly fans even had tears in their eyes.

How desperate I had been, how exciting this moment was.

For these fans who have experienced marching in the dark, a ray of sunshine is enough for them, but this time, they embrace the bright sun.

Nothing can be more exciting than this moment.

"Okay, it's time for us to thank the fans!"

Lucky greeted his teammates and immediately led them to the stands. They put their arms around each other's shoulders and celebrated with the fans.

This moment also pushed the atmosphere to its climax.

The excited fans and the enthusiastic expressions were all seen by the Chinese players.

Yes!

Their efforts have paid off. Looking at these cutest people and seeing them so excited is enough.

Lucky spotted some of his hometown fan association in the stands.

They kept waving their temperament and greeted Lucai enthusiastically.

Lucky also smiled and waved in response.

After thanking him, Lucky was also called for a post-game interview.

"This is an exciting moment. We drew with the German team and qualified for the World Cup finals as the first in the group. At this moment, we very much know how it would feel to be the captain of the Chinese team?"

A female CCTV reporter excitedly handed the microphone to Lucai's mouth.

Lucky wiped his sweat and said with a smile, "The most intuitive feeling is that I am very tired. We thought the competition would be difficult, but the process was far beyond imagination."

"Being able to qualify first in the group is also a huge encouragement for us. In fact, we did not discuss these issues before the World Cup or even before the game."

"But when this moment came, I was a little bit in disbelief."

The female reporter smiled and said: "Yes! I can't believe that hundreds of millions of fans in China feel the same way. People who have experienced those long dark years can best feel this precious moment. For these fans, do you have What do you want to say?”

Lucky thought for a while and said with a smile: "My father can probably be attributed to this type of fan, but now, I think they no longer have this idea. At the same time, I can give them a wonderful game and make them happy." They cheered in the stadium, and that’s something I’m proud of.”

Female reporter: "The next step is the quarter-finals. This is also the upper limit of the Chinese team's performance. Are you confident of breaking it this year?"

Lucky: "There is confidence, but every next game will be more difficult, and we also have problems ourselves, and we still need to continue to improve and adjust."

Female reporter: "Okay, next."

Asked and answered, Lucky answered very appropriately.

After the entire interview session passed, Lucai accepted another interview with the Russian side.

After all, it is the organizer who cannot but give face.

After the interviews on both sides were over, Lucai declined the other reporters who handed over their microphones and returned to the locker room.

When Lucky entered the locker room, the entire locker room was already in a state of excitement.

The players were jumping with excitement in the locker room.

Chen Man even pulled a table from nowhere and stepped on it, shirtless, waving the jersey in his hand, twisting and turning.

Even the calm and capable team leader Zhang Chen was excited to mingle with the players.

The entire locker room was a sea of joy.

Soon, Lucky was pulled over by everyone to join them.

At the same time, in the arena at the post-match press conference.

Under the camera, Lippi also had a smile on his face.

"This game and this World Cup experience are equally unforgettable for me."

"Since the start of the group stage, our coaching staff has been meeting every day. We are discussing tactics, we are arguing about lineup arrangements and personnel composition. My assistant coaches Pezzoti and Madaloni have argued with me a lot about this. There are a few times, but these are normal situations because we are constantly making adjustments!

“The process is difficult, but precisely because it is so difficult, the final fruits are extremely precious!”

"The courage to challenge everything, the positive fighting spirit, the trust in the players, etc., all combined to form the current result. We are very satisfied with it."

Lippi was talking eloquently. It can be seen that the old man is in a good mood now and never refuses questions from reporters.

"How would you evaluate Kai's performance in this game?"

Lippi gave a thumbs up and said, "He is this one!"

"Kai's performance has always reassured me, and in my opinion, Kai has always been one of the top midfielders in the world. But through this period of communication, I want to say that he is too good, so good that everyone can You can rely on them to your heart’s content! ”

After the interview with Lippi, it was Loew's turn.

But compared to Lippi's leisurely look, Loew's face looked much more serious.

First of all, Loew apologized in front of reporters and said that the failure of the game was the fault of the coaching staff and himself.

He basically throws the players out, which also means taking all the responsibility on himself.

But the last sentence caused an earthquake.

Loew said he has begun to consider leaving the position of Germany coach.

These words are undoubtedly shocking.

As a meritorious coach of the German team, Loew is a trustworthy and excellent coach to many people, including German fans.

Although this World Cup suffered a collapse and the fans were angry, they vented their anger but never thought of driving Loew away.

They didn't mention it here, but Loew took the initiative to point it out.

Not only the German reporters, but also the officials of the German Football Association who were present at the scene had a drastic change in their expressions.

Based on Loew's speech, the post-match press conference ended hastily.

The third round of Group F is also settled.

Finally, the points of Group F are as follows:

First, China, 1-2-0, 5 points.

Second, Sweden, 1-1-1, 4 points (goal difference).

Third, Germany, 1-1-1, 4 points.

Fourth, Mexico, 1-0-2, 3 points.

The most intense and also the most unpredictable Group F game is over.

The results were also unexpected.

Mexico, which performed well on the first day and defeated the German team, overturned on the second and third days.

He lost to China and Sweden successively, ultimately losing the possibility of his promotion.

After a dream start, Mexico was stunned to lose itself.

The Mexican coach Osorio, who was defeated before, also changed from a famous coach to an eliminated sinner.

It's amazing how quickly the identity changes.

But it's completely understandable.

After all, for Mexican fans, the first game brought them great hope.

At the same time, it also created the best promotion situation.

But I was stunned.

In addition to the victory in the first game, two consecutive defeats directly caused Mexico to go home.

With their tenacious fighting ability, Sweden finally won a victory and relied on the goal difference to defeat the German team to advance to the World Cup finals.

Defending champion Germany was eliminated.

The curse of the World Cup championship is once again in full force.

After Spain last time, this time it’s the German team’s turn.

Germany's exit once again ignited the excitement of the World Cup.

At the same time, I also tell everyone that even if you are the world's top team, even if you are the defending World Cup champion, if you fail to make adjustments, you will still be eliminated.

In the evening, the Chinese team returned to the hotel after a day of repairs.

It’s the last day of the World Cup group stage.

And with the end of these games.

The World Cup has also finally finalized the 16 teams in the finals.

Group A: Uruguay, Russia.

Group B: Portugal, Spain.

Group C: France, Denmark.

Group D: Croatia, Argentina.

Group E: Brazil, Switzerland.

Group F: Sweden, Mexico.

Group G: Belgium, England.

Group H: Colombia, Japan.
