Now that full-time is over, Spain beat China 2-1 thanks to Asensio's two goals, winning the World Cup for the second time in history. It's a pity that the Chinese team, although it has reached the final for two consecutive years, has failed to win the World Cup. However, the Chinese team is also performing very well and deserves our respect. ”

The Spanish players celebrated wildly, while the Chinese players stood quietly on the court. Many Chinese fans in the stands had tears in their eyes, how eager they were to see the Chinese team win the championship for a second time, but unfortunately, the Chinese team in the semi-main team could only accept the result of being the runner-up.

Asensio walked up to Zhang Shujie, and the two exchanged jerseys. In front of Asensio, Zhang Shujie is an out-and-out senior, even if Asensio has achieved great success this year, he respects Zhang Shujie very much.

The World Cup ended with the noise of Spain winning the championship and the Chinese team finishing second. Although the Chinese team failed to win the championship, Zhang Shujie still won the Golden Ball Award at the Qatar World Cup. But Zhang Shujie is not uncommon with this thing, what he wants is the World Cup champion.

Before the game, someone said that if Zhang Shujie can lead the Chinese team to win the World Cup for a second consecutive year, then his status in world football will surpass Pele and become the real first person. But unfortunately, perhaps now it can be said that Zhang Shujie surpassed Maradona, but still failed to surpass Pele.

At the press conference after the game, An Rong congratulated Spain, and at the same time said in front of reporters all over the world: "Actually, I am honored, because I have led the Chinese team for ten years, and the achievements made in these ten years are probably not available to many domestic coaches in the future." But I got all of this not because I was good, but because my players were good and I was proud of them, they were the best, and the World Cup title was the best proof of that. I've gotten enough, and now, I'm going to step down as head coach of the Chinese national team and someone will take my place in the future. Thank you all, and goodbye. ”

An Rong's "goodbye" could not have been more obvious, and he will never appear in any press conference again. This is the end of his career as a head coach.

During the ten years he coached the Chinese team, he won two Asian Cup titles, one World Cup championship and one World Cup runner-up. Maybe leaving this trade as a runner-up is not a very bragging rights, but for An Rong, no one will blame him.

In addition to An Rong, Guo Fan, chairman of the Chinese Football Association, will also expire this year, and he will be transferred from the position of head of the Football Association to work behind the scenes. Many people say that Guo Fan is the most successful football association in the history of the Chinese Football Association, and he has never intervened in the affairs of the national team, and said in an interview with reporters: "I know that many Chinese fans still have a positive evaluation of me, which I feel very honored." But I don't seem to have done much for Chinese football, and perhaps the only thing I can boast about is my trust in An Rong. The results of the Chinese team in the past ten years have proved that my trust is right. ”

At the same time, he added: "After I move to other positions, I may not be so busy at work, and I will have more holidays." At that time, I may ask An Rong to go fishing and drink tea together, anyway, he is also retired, and there is time. ”

It can be seen that Guo Fan wants to enjoy life after ten years of busyness. Indeed, he and An Rong are both in their fifties, and they are over half a hundred years old, and when it is time to relax, they can indeed relax.

Chen Hui said in the report: "This year is the biggest change in Chinese football, An Rong left, Guo Fan was also transferred, and it is unknown what kind of road Chinese football will take in the future." I only hope that the future head of the company can be like Guo Fan, and not use political means to manage football. ”

Shen Hao said: "Guo Fan is qualified enough to enjoy life, and An Rong is also qualified enough to leave with his head held high. They bring so much to the table for Chinese football. Although the Chinese team failed to win the championship in this World Cup, although China was defeated, and in the absence of half of the main forces, they could still reach the final and almost push Spain into a desperate situation. ”

Chinese players also expressed their appreciation for An Rong and Guo Fan's comeback for Chinese football in these years on their Weibo and other social networking sites, Zhang Shujie said: "If it weren't for the two of you, Chinese football wouldn't be where it is today." It is precisely because of your existence that Chinese football will be so innocent and will achieve such good results. ”

After the World Cup, the players also ushered in the holidays. According to the previous schedule, in January of the following year, it was supposed to be the Asian Cup, but because China, Japan, South Korea, Australia and other teams have just played the World Cup, the Asian Football Association has also scheduled the Asian Cup to June.

As a result, several Chinese players were also able to rest. During this period, the European Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year awards were also announced. Real Madrid's young man Asensio won the league, Champions League and World Cup last season, with World Cup runners-up Asensio in second place and Asensio's national team and club team-mate Isco in third.

In the selection of the annual team, Spain and China each had four selections, the Spanish four are Asensio, Isco, Vazquez and Carvajal, and the four members of the Chinese team are Zhang Shujie, Li Mu, Chen Zihua and Liang Xiran. Among them, there was some controversy about Li Mu's selection, after all, Li Mu failed to play due to injury in the semifinals and finals, but he still entered this list. However, Chen Hui said: "In fact, if you think about it carefully, Li Mu's selection is not very controversial, he scored three goals and assisted twice in five games, and created an average of one goal per game, which is very efficient." Although he failed to play in the semifinals and finals, his performance in the first five games is obvious to all, although he has restrained himself in breaking through, but his comprehensive strength has not been reduced, so I think it is not surprising that Li Mu was selected for this list. ”

After the major awards, the second half of the league also started. Due to the convening of the World Cup, the leagues of various countries have been delayed a lot, which has also led to the second half of the schedule of each club is relatively tight, often double games a week, Milan due to the relatively poor strength of substitute players, Inzaghi in the use of personnel can be described as frightened, fortunately AC Milan is lucky, has always been at the top of the standings, but their Juventus gap is not big, only four points, a little careless, there is a danger of being overtaken.
