On the evening of 6 July 2030, Beijing, China.

After a month of fierce fighting, the world-renowned China World Cup is finally coming to an end.

The host Chinese team and the traditional giant Brazil team, after six hard-fought matches, both reached the final of the World Cup, which is also the first time in the history of Chinese football to enter the World Cup final.

The venue for the final was arranged to be held in the New Workers Stadium.

After the renovation was completed in 2020, this landmark building in Beijing has been used as the home of Beijing's Chinatown and the home of the Chinese national team, and is the most advanced top stadium in China and even the world, in order to better host the World Cup final, it was officially expanded in 2029, expanding the stadium to 100,000 people.

Tonight's World Cup final will attract fans from all over the world, and tickets are in short supply.

There were still two hours to go before the final, but the Workers Stadium and the surrounding football park were already crowded, and many fans began to line up at the major ticket gates.

They all looked like they couldn't wait.

Throughout the day, on the LED giant screen outside the stadium, the highlights of the two teams in the final were constantly being played in a loop, as well as the interviews between the players and the coach.

In the video, the world-famous coach, who is hailed as the godfather of Chinese football by fans around the world, confidently promised all fans that the Chinese team will do its best to win this Hercules Cup at home.

The interview also specifically reviewed the legendary coach's lifelong coaching resume.

From his coaching in Europe to 14 years ago, he took over the stormy Chinese national team and turned the tide and led this third-rate Asian team to the rebirth of the Jedi and all the way to the World Cup in Russia.

This is also the second time in the history of Chinese football to enter the World Cup finals.

Compared with the desperate experience in 2002, this time the Chinese team showed extreme tenacity, encountering Portugal, Spain and Morocco in the group stage, as a result, the Chinese team won one win, one draw and one loss, but in the end only finished third in the group, the same number as Portugal, and was eliminated.

However, in the three group games, the Chinese team drew 0-0 with the favorite Spain, lost to Portugal 0-1, and narrowly defeated Morocco 2-1.

After the World Cup in Russia, Gao Han began to reorganize the Chinese team, captain Zheng Zhi announced his retirement and entered the national team, serving as Gao Han's assistant coach with Li Tie, but the veteran Feng Xiaoting continued to stay in the team.

Not only the reorganization of the national team, but also a vigorous reform movement in Chinese football under the auspices of Gao Han.

In the following three years, the Chinese team went through the pains of metabolism, although it failed in the East Asian Cup and the Asian Cup, but it successfully cultivated a group of foreign rookies such as Zhang Yuning, Zhao Jun, Wang Lei, Gao Ren and Yang Xin, plus a group of local rookies such as Wei Shihao, Tang Shi, Deng Hanwen, Gao Zhunyi and Liu Yiming, so that the Chinese team was invincible again in the subsequent World Cup qualifiers, overcoming obstacles all the way, and finally entered the Qatar World Cup again.

Compared with four years ago, the strength of the Chinese team has improved significantly this time, especially several young players led by Chinatown, who shined in the World Cup, and finally helped the Chinese team fight all the way crazy, broke through from the group stage, and went all the way to the quarterfinals, and finally lost to the French team that finally won the championship.

At this time, the Chinese team is already one of the strongest teams in Asia, and even in the face of traditional strong teams in Europe and South America, they already have the strength to fight.

After returning from the Qatar World Cup, Gao Han and the Chinese team once again tried their courage, veterans Feng Xiaoting and Jiang Zhipeng and other players retired, and the Chinese team once again ushered in a round of metabolism, and with the improvement of the competitiveness of the Chinese Super League, Chinese players began to no longer respect Liuyang, and more to play in their own leagues.

But there are still world-class superstars such as Wang Lei, Gao Ren, Yang Xin and Zhao Jun in the team, especially in the following season, China City won consecutive victories in the Champions League and the international arena, and won the Grand Slam again, and Wang Lei won the first FIFA Golden Ball Award in the history of Chinese football as a midfielder.

Gao Ren and Yang Xin came in second and third place respectively, and Chinatown started a dynastic era in European football.

With the outstanding performance of Chinese players, the Chinese national team is also invincible in the Asian arena, winning consecutive games and entering the 2026 North American World Cup with an amazing winning record.

This is a World Cup co-hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico, and it is also the first time that the number of participating teams has been expanded to 48 teams, but this has not affected the outstanding performance of the Chinese team in the slightest.

On the stage of the North American World Cup, the Chinese team continued to break through from the group stage, repeatedly defeated strong opponents, and went all the way to the semifinals, but the result was that the Brazilian team, which was also led by the top superstar Vinicius, and the two sides played the most classic offensive battle in this World Cup, but in the end, the Chinese team returned with regrets again, with a score of 4-3.

Vinicius, who plays for Chinatown, also won the FIFA Golden Ball Award that year with the World Cup championship, followed by Chinese player Gao Ren and won the second place, while the Brazilian international Alain, who also played for Chinatown, won the third.

After three World Cup baptisms, today's Chinese team has become a powerful force in world football that cannot be underestimated, especially with the comprehensive reform of Chinese football in the past ten years and the improvement of the youth training system, which has cultivated an endless supply of talents for Chinese football.

Today's Chinese Super League has surpassed the top five European leagues and become the hottest and most competitive professional league in the world, and Beijing Chinatown has also become the most competitive top club in the Chinese Super League.

After four years, Gao Han led his Chinese team to make a comeback again, and in the World Cup, with gorgeous offensive football, all opponents were unable to parry, all the way to the final, and met the old enemy Brazil again.

In the end, the Chinese team in the cold took advantage of the home field to avenge the revenge of four years ago?

Or will Brazil be able to break their fate and successfully defend the World Cup?

This has also become the biggest suspense of the World Cup final.

…………

…………

In the Workers' Stadium, Gao Han was in the office, silently watching the rolling flow of people in the square outside the stadium, and there was no trace of anxiety and anxiety before the competition on his face, but more confidence and pride.

More than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, he is no longer young, the years have left traces on him, and the gray hair makes everyone feel his pressure and efforts in the past ten years.

He was admired throughout the country and even the world.

Because he brought the Chinese team from the third rate in Asia to the world's top team today, he saved Chinese football from the darkness of the trough and built the weak Chinese football into a world football power today.

In the past ten years, he has won almost everything.

Chinatown is invincible in La Liga, once won the title for five consecutive years, beating traditional powerhouses such as Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, and is also unstoppable in the Champions League, and the successful defense of the title three times proves that Chinatown is strong competitiveness.

Especially in the past three years, under the leadership of top superstars such as Wang Lei, Gao Ren, Yang Xin, Zhao Jun, Vinicius and Alain, Chinatown has won the Champions League for three consecutive years and the top three of the FIFA Golden Ball Awards for three consecutive years.

Even arrogant Europeans have to admit that European football has ushered in the era of Chinatown.

In China, the Chinese Super League has become the most influential league in the world, comparable to the top five European leagues and the Champions League, players all over the world are proud to play in the Chinese Super League, and Beijing Chinatown is in the Chinese Super League, winning nine league championships and six AFC Champions League championships in 13 years.

One in the east and one in the west, two Chinese towns dominate the two core of football in Asia and Europe.

As the owner of the club, Gao Han can be described as a winner in life.

Now, he has only one last and most important wish left.

Hercules Cup!

It was what he had been pursuing tirelessly for the past decade or so, and now, it was within his reach.

And this should be the closest he has to the World Cup, Wang Lei, Gao Ren and a number of core stars are in the golden years of their careers, if they can't win the World Cup this year, then it may be even more difficult in the future.

Just when Gao Han was full of ambition, the door behind him was knocked from outside, and assistant coach Zheng Zhi pushed the door open and came in.

"Boss, it's time. Zheng Zhi said respectfully.

For Gao Han, whether it is the national team or Chinese fans, they all have respect.

"Good. Gao Han turned his head and replied heavily.

Hercules Cup, I'm coming!

…………

…………

Witnessed by 100,000 fans at the scene, the World Cup final finally started.

Gao Han discharged the most attacking three, four, and three formations, which is a set of highly attacking tactics tailored for the Chinese team in line with the development trend of world football in the past few years, giving full play to the strong attacking power of the Chinese team.

Brazil's pinnacle came at the last World Cup in North America, when the age structure of their squad was the most reasonable, and this World Cup has been relatively slumped, compared to the Chinese team, the best combination of old, middle and young, and there are a group of talented young rookies sitting on the bench.

Therefore, the Brazilian team played on the defensive in this game.

The pace of the game was very fast, whether it was the passing and receiving of the ball or the players' running without the ball, they all seemed to be full of tacit understanding, and the overall strength was above the Brazilian team, and the team quickly created a threat, constantly launching waves of continuous offensives towards the Brazilian team's goal, forcing the Samba Army to retreat to their own half.

The head coach of the Brazilian team is the legendary superstar Kaka, who is more than half a hundred years old and is already a world-famous coach, and his coaching style is also the same as his mentor Gao Han, known for his elegant passing and gorgeous offensive football, but in this game, the strength of the Brazilian team fell behind, and Kaka also had to pose as a weak man in defense and counterattack.

Cheered on by 100,000 fans, the Chinese team continued to attack with great momentum, testing the Brazilian defence, while the Samba Army defended patiently, watching for opportunities to launch sharp and fast counterattacks.

The two sides played inextricably together, and the game was extremely beautiful, leaving the 100,000 fans at the scene, as well as the billions of viewers around the world stationed in front of the televisions, fascinated and addicted.

But no one was able to open the scoring.

It was clear that after a spectacular head-to-head at the last World Cup, both sides knew each other better and were more tactically targeted, which meant that neither side could easily take advantage of their opponents.

The game passed minute by minute, and the two sides shook hands 0-0 in the first half, but in the second half, the Chinese team still had the advantage, and the Brazilian team counterattacked.

Finally, in the 65th minute, Gao Han made the first substitution of the game, replaced by a 21-year-old player, playing in Beijing Chinatown, who was evaluated by the authoritative media as the most potential talent rookie in world football in the next ten years, and also his only son, Gao Shen.

The father and son fought hand in hand, which is rare in the history of world football, and it is the first time in the history of Chinese football.

Don't look at Gao Shen is only twenty-one years old, but he is already the top scorer in the Chinese Super League, but he is too young and lacks experience in the competition, so Gao Han arranged for him to be a substitute, and after replacing him in the second half, he and Wang Lei, Gao Ren and Yang Xin formed a front-court attack combination, with only one purpose, that is, to continue to strengthen the attack.

After sending his son to the court with his own hands, Gao Han did not forget to look back at the chairman's stand, he quickly saw the familiar figure of Lin Xia in a familiar position, she has always been so beautiful and moving, and the years did not seem to have left any traces on her body.

And every time he sees her, Gao Han always starts to get lucky.

It's the same this time!

After Gao Shen came on the court, the Chinese team's offense became more flexible, the Brazilian team's defense became more difficult, and Kaka quickly made substitution adjustments to strengthen the defense.

But in less than five minutes, the Chinese team took the lead in breaking the goal of the Brazilian team, and the cooperation of Gao Ren and Yang Xin assisted Gao Shen to score a goal in the penalty area to break the deadlock for the team.

As soon as the deadlock was broken, the Brazilian team began to panic, but soon unified their thinking and began to press hard.

Failed to score in the first hour, but in less than half an hour, the two teams fought against each other, and the Chinese team finally defeated the Brazilian team 4-2 with Gao Shen's brace, Gao Ren and Yang Xin's goals, and won the first Hercules Cup in the history of Chinese football.

The loud national anthem began to float over the Workers' Stadium.

100,000 fans, more than a billion Chinese, have already begun to can't wait to celebrate.

When the whistle blew at the end of the game, all the players in the stadium rushed out of the stadium for the first time, and rushed to the stands frantically, they surrounded the head coach Gao Han, and threw him into the air again and again in the sound of carnival.

We finally won the Hercules Cup!

We finally became world champions!

Countless predecessors, countless Chinese fans, decades of anticipation, finally became a reality on this night!
