Chapter 1167: Advance to the Finals

"Toot, beet, !——"

Before the whistle completely disappeared, the Chinese fans cheered excitedly. He Wei said: "The game is over. In the semi-finals, the Chinese team defeated the Argentine team led by Messi 2:1 and entered the final of the World Cup for the first time in history! This is also the first time that an Asian team has entered the final of the World Cup! Let us congratulate the Chinese team! I hope that the Chinese team can continue to make history!

An Rong walked outside the Argentine bench and shook Sampaoli's hand, and then the two walked away. The Chinese players on the pitch hugged each other in celebration, and many players' eyes became a little moist. They didn't just win one game, they made it to the World Cup final!

Many top players have never had the opportunity to stand on the stage of the final in their lives, such as Portuguese king Cristiano Ronaldo and former Brazilian superstar Kaka, for a major tournament like the World Cup, to be able to reach the final is already a success.

Zhang Shujie walked towards Messi, and at this moment, the Argentine king was full of tears, looking at the group of lost Argentine fans in the audience. Over the years, Messi has made efforts again and again, from not being liked by his own fans, to being loved by his own fans, he has paid too much, after experiencing the runner-up in the last World Cup, Mei Tianwang was eager to go to the last step in this Cup, but unfortunately, he met Zhang Shujie, who was in full swing, and Argentina met the invincible Chinese team.

Messi, who is 31 years old, doesn't know if he will have a chance to stand on the World Cup in four years. Even if he can still stand up, will he still have enough physical strength and energy to lead Argentina?

"Leo. Zhang Shujie walked to Messi's side. Messi turned his head and barely managed to squeeze out a little smile, but this smile was more ugly than crying.

To be honest, Zhang Shujie and Messi are not familiar with each other, and they have no contact in private, but they are the best stars in the world. When someone is on the same level as you, even if you've never met him, you want to get to know him, not to mention that the two have played each other more than once in the Champions League before.

Between heroes, there should be sympathy for each other.

Zhang Shujie took off the jersey on his body and handed it to Messi, Messi also took off the jersey and handed it to Zhang Shujie, and the two naturally exchanged the jerseys.

The two put each other's jerseys on their shoulders and hugged each other again. Zhang Shujie said: "Leo, I'm sorry. But it's the World Cup and everyone is hungry for a win. ”

Messi said: "Yes, I don't blame you. His voice was a little hoarse.

Zhang Shujie stretched out his hand, Messi also stretched out his hand, and the two shook hands.

"Take care. Zhang Shujie said.

"The same goes for you. Messi said.

Then Zhang Shujie turned around and walked away, and less than three steps away, Messi suddenly called out to him: "Zhang, wait." ”

Zhang Shujie stopped and looked back at him. Messi said: "Go and win a championship, take my share with you." ”

Zhang Shujie was a little surprised and asked: "Our opponent in the final is Brazil, you and Neymar have always been friends, why do you want us to win the championship instead of Brazil?"

"Because of your Chinese team, beat me and my Argentina. I don't want someone who can win me and not end up lifting the Hercules Cup. ”

Zhang Shujie looked at Messi, he knew what Messi meant. For many years, the outside world has said that Messi is too introverted, but in fact, Messi will always think that he is the best one in his heart. But today, he lost to Zhang Shujie, who is younger than him, and he believes that only the champion is qualified to defeat him.

Zhang Shujie suddenly smiled and said, "I will do it." ”

The Chinese team and the Argentine players are circling the field to thank the fans, the difference is that the Chinese players' thanks are joyful, while Argentina is more tragic.

Before this game, Zhang Shujie was not arranged to interview the other party after the team, and Ma Junqiang and Xu Zhixin accepted the post-game interview. Ma Junqiang said: "It was a very difficult game, and Argentina was even more difficult to deal with than Germany. But we still won and I got to the final with my team-mates and it was a really memorable moment. Of course, if we can finally clink glasses, I think I'll be so excited that I can't sleep all night. ”

Xu Zhixin said: "I am very excited to reach the finals with everyone. To be honest, I couldn't have imagined it four years ago, but we did it and we won a great victory. ”

A reporter asked him: "You scored the decisive goal in the game, and it was your first goal in the World Cup, do you have anything to say to the audience?"

Xu Zhixin smiled: "It is naturally a wonderful feeling to be able to score my first World Cup goal in this way, and I have to thank my teammates, especially Zhao Wenkang, for his assist to complete my goal." I got a lot of help from the team and we were very united. Now that we've passed the semi-finals, it's time to prepare for the finals!"

*********************

At the press conference after the match, An Rong said happily: "Yes, we are in the final, I am very happy, Argentina is very strong, it took us a lot of trouble to beat them and reach the final." However, reaching the final is not the end, but a beginning. I believe that any team that reaches the final will never think of fighting for the runner-up, whether it is us or Brazil, it is for the championship. ”

"Then do you think the Chinese team can beat Brazil?" asked no one else, it was Chen Hui.

An Rong has to answer this question carefully, if he directly says "yes", the media will definitely say the next day, "An Rong threatens to win the championship"; if he says "no", the media will say "An Rong shows weakness and admits that he can't beat Brazil".

So An Rong said euphemistically: "Whether you can defeat them or not, I don't count." Various factors such as tactical matchups and the on-field performance of players are important. From my point of view, I definitely hope that we can win, and I believe that every Chinese wants us to win. ”

In addition, An Rong also said: "It is not easy for everyone to get to this point. My players played really well and worked hard, and they are not only my pride, but also the pride of all my countrymen. ”

An Rong could talk eloquently at the press conference, but Sampaoli couldn't, he said very simply: "It's a pity, and it's a pity that we couldn't beat the Chinese team." I don't want to make any excuses for my loss, but I would say that the Chinese team did apply some reasonable rules of the game, especially in stoppage time. Anyway, they won, we lost, so be it, I don't have anything more to say, I'm lucky to see you again!"
