In the audience, all the Chinese fans broke out into extremely enthusiastic cheers at this moment, and the sound resounded through the sky, as if the stadium was about to collapse. He Wei also shouted very excitedly: "Ma Junqiang saved Reuss's penalty! Ma Junqiang saved Reuss's penalty! After five rounds of penalty shootouts, the Chinese team defeated Germany 4:3, and eliminated the German team with a total score of 7:6 and successfully advanced to the semifinals!"

Ma Junqiang opened his arms and roared to his teammates, the players of the Chinese team also cheered and ran to Ma Junqiang, Zhang Shujie rushed to the first, after meeting with Ma Junqiang, the two hugged each other very excitedly, and then, the players also leaned over, and the crowd overwhelmed the two.

An Rong was jumping and jumping on the sidelines, and it was rare to see them so excited. But now, he really can't be patient with the joy. From 0:3 to 3:3, and then to the decisive victory in the penalty shootout, the Chinese team can be said to have completed a shocking reversal.

Chinese fans are still celebrating the victory in the stands. And the players are now beginning to comfort the frustrated German players, Zhang Shujie and Yan Tao used to have some old teammates in the German national team, not to mention Xu Zhixin, more than half of the players in the German team are his teammates in the club.

Zhang Shujie and Neuer exchanged jerseys, and many players also exchanged their jerseys. The five-star red flag in the stands was fluttering in the wind, and at this time, all the Chinese fans stood and sang the moving song "Singing the Motherland" in unison. Chen Hui smiled and looked at each of the Chinese players, and Shen Hao danced in position, although Chen Hui couldn't understand what he was dancing.

The Chinese players walked to the stands and saluted the fans. An Rong also shook hands politely with Loew, and then parted ways. Then An Rong walked into the field and hugged every Chinese player. Especially Ma Junqiang, in the eyes of An Rong, the best performance in this game was not Zhang Shujie, who scored two goals, not Li Mu, who drew for the Chinese team at the last second, but Ma Junqiang, who played a crucial role in the second half.

The 29-year-old top goalkeeper is at the peak of his career.

After the game, Ma Junqiang first spoke to the media, saying: "It was a very difficult game, maybe at the end of the first half, a lot of people were not optimistic about us. To be honest, we were a little discouraged ourselves, but after adjustments, we came through and won the game. ”

Zhang Shujie said in an interview: "The German team is really too strong, and we almost lost the game. Fortunately, we didn't give up until the last second. Our team-mates are all doing great and I'm sure we're going to make headlines in the newspapers tomorrow, but my team-mates and I won't talk too much about this game, our next opponent is Argentina and we need to be ready to fight for that. ”

Neuer, the German player interviewed, said: "It's very uncomfortable, I can't describe how I feel at the moment, I thought we could win and then we lost. I don't know what happened to us in the second half, it was like two teams in the first half, I don't want to talk too much about it, I hope to forget about it as soon as possible. ”

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

After returning to the locker room, the players found Liang Xiran sitting in their place, with his head down and covering his face, Zhang Shujie walked up and patted Liang Xiran on the shoulder: "Xiao Ran, what's wrong with you?"

Liang Xiran raised his head and said, "I'm so excited, we have won!

Ma Junqiang said: "Needless to say, the process is a little harder." ”

Yan Tao sat down, wiped his sweat with a towel, and said, "It really feels like a dream, ten people, 0:3! ”

Tang Ling said: "I really hope that it is best not to have this kind of competition in the future, too many will be frightened, and the heart can't bear it." ”

Li Mu leaned his back against the wall and said, "Don't worry, there will be no more such a situation in the next game." ”

Everyone chatted word by word, only Liao Dongyuan, who sat in the corner and did not speak. Zhang Shujie looked at him, walked over to him and sat down, pressed his shoulder, and smiled.

Liao Dongyuan also smiled. Although he still didn't speak, he didn't feel so depressed when he saw the smile given by the team's number one superstar.

An Rong, Ma Junqiang and others also came over to pat him. In fact, Liao Dongyuan also understood in his heart that it was normal for him to be replaced because of his poor performance, but he cared too much about it. In addition, the position of the goalkeeper is special, as long as Ma Junqiang is there, any Chinese goalkeeper can only play as a substitute.

After An Rong finished cleaning up, he went to attend the post-match press conference, and the reporters were already waiting impatiently in the audience. Loew, who came out first, was in a very bad mood, and didn't even wait for the reporter's question, and simply said a few words: "Congratulations to the Chinese team, they won this great game." My team played well in the first half and scored three goals, but in the second half there were a lot of things I didn't want to see. I didn't blame my players in the dressing room, anything can happen on the football pitch and maybe at first a lot of people thought we would win, but in the end it was us who were eliminated. I can guess what kind of news will appear in the newspaper tomorrow, but I won't read it. We will regroup and wait for Qatar in four years' time. ”

A reporter asked him: "Will you continue to coach in the position of head coach of the German team?"

Loew replied: "Don't ask me this question, ask the DFB." ”

With that, Loew got up and walked out. There were still many reporters waiting for more questions, but Loew was not in the mood for that kind right now.

Next was An Rong, who looked at the reporters in the audience and said, "To be honest, I'm still a little nervous now, this is really like a dream." With thirty seconds left before the end of regular time, I was even thinking about resigning as head coach of the national team. However, my teammates seemed reluctant to let me go and let me stay with the national team. I'm thankful to my players, they did a great job, it was a great win and I'm sure many years from now there will be people who will remember it. ”

Chen Hui asked, "If you were asked to rate the players, who do you think would get the highest score?"

An Rong said: "Ma Junqiang! Full score! Zhang Shujie scored 9.5 points, Li Mu scored 9 points." To be honest, I don't want to judge my players individually, they are a whole, not an individual. At least I think every one of my disciples deserves high marks. ”

Chen Hui suddenly thought of Liao Dongyuan, and Liao Dongyuan would definitely not be able to get a high score. An Rong is also a kind of "comforting courtesy", and he also knows that there will definitely be media criticism of Liao Dongyuan tomorrow, but as a head coach, he must support his players.

A German journalist said: "You won this tough game, and if you win, you could be the team with the most possibilities. ”

An Rong said: "Who doesn't want to win the championship if they can reach the top four? The semi-finals have not yet begun, and our opponent, Argentina, must first wade through this hurdle if they want to win the championship!"
