On the same court, two opposing emotions burst out in an instant. The mournful Japanese fans stared blankly at the sea of red cheers on the other side.

"Oh my God! We won!" cheered wildly, and tens of thousands of people cheered and hugged wildly as if they had won a five-million lottery.

Although there are still some games, there is really no suspense in the game. Originally, everyone just gritted their teeth and insisted. Now the winner has been decided! The next game is hastily over.

"Beep~Beep~~~"

"Wow, we won, we really won!!" the voice of ecstasy echoed through the stadium again.

"It's finally time for this day. ”

Whether it is the players or the fans, they are hugging the people around them tightly at this moment. Everyone shouted excitedly, and then tears unconsciously hung in the corners of their eyes.

Chinese fans have waited long enough for this moment. The time is even farther away than the last time they reached the World Cup.

The last time the Chinese team reached the World Cup was the 02 South Korea-Japan World Cup, and the last time the Chinese team defeated the Japanese team was back in the 1998 East Asian semifinals. 2:0, that was the last time the Chinese senior men's team defeated the Japanese team before this.

The various grievances between the two countries, as well as the football relationship, made this victory of the Chinese team very significant.

So when the game officially ended, it wasn't the spectators who were in a frenzy of celebration. It was the whole land of China, and everyone who was watching the game celebrated wildly. The frenzy was far greater than the victory over Croatia to qualify from the group.

Even Zheng Zhi, who was still lying in the hospital, cheered excitedly after watching the game. As the oldest person in the Chinese team, Zheng Zhi has not defeated Japan in the national team so far in his career.

Although this time he did not play, I have to say that it is a great regret. But the hard-won victory of the Chinese team also made him feel as happy as if he were involved.

"Haha, even the Japanese team won. No one will stop the rise of the Chinese team in the future. Hahaha. Zheng Zhi laughed again until tears flowed down his face.

In Kyoto, China, in the helm that controls the course of more than a billion people, Banyu watched TV, and a warm smile appeared on his serious face. Then there was a round of applause. "This national team is very good. Played with a lot of spirit. The guy who scored the goal, I love it. If I have the chance, I want him to sign my name. Haha'''"

Another sleepless night for Chinese footballers.

The game is over. But its effects have not been dissipated for a long time. As a game, this game is just an extremely ordinary, if not widely watched game in the World Cup. However, it has quietly affected the people of the two countries concerned and the spiritual spirit of the two nations from now on.

The Chinese team miraculously reached the quarterfinals of the World Cup. Although there are still games, for the Chinese team, this time the journey of the World Cup is here.

In this game with the Japanese team, the Chinese team fought too hard. It can be said that the whole team is exhausted. Except for Yan Feng, who recovered fairly well in the team, the others couldn't slow down for several days.

However, reaching such a point, the Chinese team has already set a high historical record. Later, it is extremely difficult to achieve the same.

Moreover, after reaching the quarterfinals. China's opponent in the quarterfinals is Germany, the favourites in this World Cup. In the face of the strong German team, the Chinese team, which was full of wounded soldiers, had no chance at all.

It is precisely because of this that neither the fans nor the players of the Chinese team, nor even Lippi have the slightest unrealistic illusions about the next game.

Everyone knows that this game against the German team will be the curtain call performance of the Chinese team in this World Cup.

A few days later, the game came as scheduled.

On the day of the game, although I knew that the Chinese team had no chance at all in this game, and even could lose miserably. However, there was still a large influx of Chinese fans in the stands.

This time, for some reason, the fans in the stands were split equally between the Chinese team and the German team. Many Chinese fans who couldn't grab tickets were very unwilling and regretful, and some even cried.

Before the start of the game, when everyone enters to prepare for the warm-up. Zheng Zhi was pushed into the court by Yan Feng in a wheelchair.

Zheng Zhi, who is in a wheelchair, is wearing his own jersey for the Chinese team, and his operated right foot is in a thick cast. But Zheng Zhi had a happy smile on his face. Everyone of the Chinese team surrounded Zheng Zhi and slowly came to the center of the court.

All the cameras, all eyes are on the man in a wheelchair.

"Zheng Zhi, Zheng Zhi, you are our eternal captain!" all the Chinese fans stood up, and they shouted Zheng Zhi's name in unison.

Amid the cheers of the fans, Zheng Zhi faced the stands belonging to the fans of the Chinese team, and he held the microphones prepared by the staff.

"Hello everyone, it's a pleasure to be here today to announce my decision. ”

"But before I do that, I want to thank everyone for your continued support. Thank you to all the fans, to my team-mates, to the coach, to the team leaders. ”

"Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today. Thank you to everyone who supports me, I love you guys!"

At this point, Zheng Zhi stopped, and he looked down at the jersey he was wearing representing the Chinese team. Zheng Zhi picked up the five-star red flag on his chest and kissed it affectionately.

"Today will be the last time I will wear this jersey, which represents honor and responsibility. This is the greatest honor of my life!"

"Zheng Zhi!Zheng Zhi!" Hearing this, the fans' emotions became even more excited.

Then, Zheng Zhi looked down at the armband on his arm again, and then stroked it affectionately.

After stroking like a lover for a while, Zheng Zhi took off the armband. Raised it and said: "This captain's armband is the responsibility and glory of Chinese football." Today, I'm going to give it to younger and more capable people. ”

"Yan Feng. ”

"Captain. ”

From now on, this responsibility will be handed over to you. I believe that you will definitely bring it to create more brilliance and glory. ”

Yan Feng solemnly took the captain's armband in Zheng Zhi's hand, and then put it on his left arm. After putting it on, Yan Feng raised his arm around the front. This is the inheritance of the captain and the handover of responsibility.

"Captain, captain, captain!" Chinese fans chanted in unison again.

"Bang bang!" everyone applauded. This is the first time in the history of the World Cup that such a solemn handover of captains has been held. Not only the Chinese, but even the Germans present applauded.

The handover of captains is complete. Zheng Zhi took the microphone and wanted to open his mouth several times, but he couldn't open it. After brewing for a long time, Zheng Zhi took a deep breath and said slowly: "My responsibility is over here. I hereby declare~"

"I~ From today, I am retired!"

Finished with the last word. Zheng Zhi closed his eyes. Tears soon flowed slowly from the corners of his eyes.

"No, Zheng Zhi, don't back down. The Chinese football team still needs you. Countless fans shouted.

Zheng Zhi was in tears but laughing happily. "Thank you. But the stage of Chinese football should be reserved for younger people. Moreover, they will only be more advantageous. Thank you again. ”

"This is the end of my playing career. But not the end of my football life. I left the field today, but never left football!"

"Zheng Zhi! Zheng Zhi !!!" The fans shouted in unison again, and many people began to have tears in their eyes.

"Thank you, goodbye!" Zheng Zhi clasped his hands together and bowed to everyone.

"Papapa~" The whole stadium once again burst into thunderous applause. Even the Germans, whether they were fans, players, or even officials, did not hesitate to give applause.

Gomez, Muller, Gotze, Ozil and other German players also came over to give Zheng Zhi a hug. I hugged the players, coaches and others in the center of the stadium one by one. Zheng Zhi was pushed by the state staff and slowly left the court.

In the reluctant cries of the fans, Zheng Zhi smiled and waved away with tears in his eyes. From now on, he will never appear on the field as a player again.

Zheng Zhi's retirement ceremony may be very simple, but it is the most beautiful exit. In the World Cup, in this place where all the football fans in the world are focused, announced their retreat. It's the envy of all the players. Even for countless years to come, it will be a wonderful retreat that will be mentioned by Chinese fans.

Although Zheng Zhi had to retire due to injury during the competition. But at the age of 38, he ended his career in the World Cup in this way. It's not sad at all, but arguably the best place to go out of all. Just as the Horse Leather Shroud is the final destination of a warrior.

Zheng Zhi left the player with applause from the whole World Cup without regrets.

"If I retreat in the future, I also hope to retire in this way!" After seeing Zheng Zhi leave, Lin Fan sighed with tears in his eyes.

"Me too. Yan Feng nodded enviously.

"It would be nice if I retired like this in the future. Zheng Zhi's retirement announcement has become the most desired way for players all over the world to retire from this moment.

Looking at the entire football world, how many can get such treatment?

The game goes on. Everyone began to warm up. Although Zheng Zhiren is not here, the topic about him still can't be dispersed for a long time. This is true even for the German players.

After the warm-up, the two sides held a solemn entrance ceremony. Then, soon the game began.

Because of the scene of Zheng Zhi before the game, the atmosphere between the German team players and the Chinese team players is quite good.

However, even so, after the start of the game, the German team did not show mercy to the Chinese team.

In the words of the Germans, the best way to respect your opponent is to go all out to defeat your opponent.

The German team really went all out, not only sent all the main forces, but the whole performance was to defeat the Chinese team mercilessly.

In this way, the Chinese team is really facing an extremely huge predicament. Because the Chinese team fought too hard in the last game, many forces could not be slowed down. Therefore, in this game, the Chinese team couldn't even send out the formation from the previous game.

Except for a few people such as Yan Feng, many people in positions are not the main forces in the previous games. The Chinese team is completely a remnant.

In fact, Lippi didn't want to do this either, but reality forced him to do this. Although he didn't play all the main forces in the face of a strong opponent like the German team, it was clear that he had no desire or desire, but Chinese fans did not complain about it. Lippi has done well enough, and everyone can still understand the pain of doing so.

The fans are still very considerate of the national team. They don't expect to be able to fight the German team in this game, their only requirement is not to lose the game, as long as they play the characteristics and spirit of the Chinese team.

And the Chinese team did not disappoint the fans this time. Although they were not very strong, although they were in broken formation, they played very tenaciously against a strong German team.

Given the strong disparity in strength, the Chinese team did not have much to fight back. The whole scene was that the Chinese team was suppressed in the half by the German team.

The German team is strong, they are still going all out, they press the Chinese team to fight hard. However, the Chinese team showed great tenacity. Although we are not as strong as you, we will not give up easily. We can't kick you, but we're going to fight you with every bit of strength in our bodies.

The Chinese team was not easily defeated, and they used their bodies to resist the sharp attacks of the German team again and again. For a long time, Germany dominated the game but were unable to find the back of the net for a long time.

Throughout the first half, the Chinese team, under the leadership of Yan Feng, stubbornly held the goal without losing. But when the first half ended in a draw, the players and fans alike cheered like a victory.

After the second half started again, the Chinese team still showed great effort and tenacity. However, after all, the gap in strength is there. After 70 minutes, after a significant drop in physical fitness, the Chinese team finally couldn't stop the German team's attack.

After being scored, the Chinese team replaced the main player in the previous game. Even Yan Feng went down. Kick it here, it's enough. You need to give other people who haven't been shown a chance to play.

After scoring the goal, the German team defeated the Chinese team in one fell swoop. They want to score more goals.

However, the Chinese team is still tenacious, even after Yan Feng and others go down, everyone still performs very hard. Such a performance made it impossible for Germany to score easily. It was until the end of the game that Germany scored again.

After that, the Germans were unable to score again. Their strikers couldn't get the pretty goalscoring stats they thought they would.

0:2. The final score is frozen here. Germany won the World Cup semi-finals.

The Chinese team lost. They reached the quarter-finals of the World Cup, and their World Cup journey was over.
