Although Liu Han analyzed the situation of the Chinese team in extremely "real" language before the start of the World Cup, which calmed down some fans and made some people suspicious of Liu Han, but after this game, no fans will be disappointed in Liu Han again, and he led the Chinese team to withstand the pressure in the difficult situation and achieve a huge breakthrough.
The result of this game also made foreign media look at the Chinese team with admiration, after all, in addition to Liu Han, who is a world-renowned star in the Chinese team, others are not even third-rate stars in Europe, and the Costa Rica team has several players who play in the middle and upper reaches of European clubs, and others are also the backbone of the Brazilian league or the Argentine league, and the Costa Rican team has experience in the World Cup, and they are considered to be the famous dark horses of the 90 Italian World Cup, but the Chinese team, They are arguably the purest newcomers to the World Cup.

Regardless of the process and method, the three East Asian teams performed well in the first game of the World Cup, which surprised the media, compared with the Saudi team, which was learned 8-0 by the Germans, the three teams in East Asia performed brilliantly, especially the Chinese team, they withstood the pressure to complete the comeback after losing a big player in the opening game, and they are not yet the host team, and they have not been "cared for" by the referee.
In doing so, China relied on a hard-fought victory to get their first three points at the World Cup, and it also allowed them to join Brazil at the top of the group standings, although everyone knew that such an arrangement did not make much sense, after all, Brazil are the recognised favourites to win the title.
After the match, the Chinese team returned to Jeju Island to prepare for the second match against Brazil in the group.
The World Cup continued, and on June 5, Russia beat Tunisia 1-0 in Group H, while Group D was an upset, with the United States beating Portugal 3-2, which humiliated Portugal with Figo and other famous players, after all, the United States is considered one of the soccer deserts, where baseball, ice hockey and basketball are really popular.

The second match of the Chinese team will be held on June 8 on Jeju Island, where the Chinese team is based.
After winning the first game, the players of the Chinese team became heroes in the hearts of fans across the country, and at the same time, some fans began to expect the national team to have a magical performance again, but the management of the national team is quite low-key and strict, not only the players did not accept any media interviews after the game, but even the management is closed management, ignoring any voices from the outside world, and even CCTV's interview request was rejected.
At 7:30 p.m. on the 5th, the second round of the World Cup group stage continued, and the German team was forced to draw 1-1 by Ireland in their second group game, and they seemed to have run out of energy in the first group stage.
In the three games on the 6th, Senegal still continued its dark horse color, drawing 1-1 with the Nordic powerhouse Denmark, although the Danish team gradually became a second-rate team in Europe after the retirement of the Laudrup brothers, but they created the most magical "fairy tale" in the 92 European Cup. In the 92 European Cup in Sweden, Yugoslavia was in political turmoil before the start of the game, and the Danish team replaced the Yugoslav team to participate in the European Cup, but no one expected that the team that replaced the Yugoslav team was in the dark and won the European Cup that year, which shocked the whole world.
Cameroon beat Saudi Arabia 1-0, and Saudi Arabia became the first team to leave the World Cup early, and they have completely lost the possibility of qualifying after losing this game.
In the Group A match on the evening of the 6th, the last champion France completely sank, they were forced to draw 0-0 by Uruguay, and they were on the verge of elimination, Zidane had a gloomy face throughout the game, and he and the team's head coach Le Maire were very different.

For this game, the Chinese team is in a calmer mood, although this World Cup is full of upsets, but this does not mean that the Chinese team has the strength to challenge the Brazilian team, so for the Chinese team, they can accept any result of the game, but this does not mean that the Chinese team will give up completely in this game.
"I know how people feel, so I won't say much about the opponent, but what I want to say is, can we just give up the game so easily? Don't you have the slightest desire to win? ”
"Since I started to contact football, I have a point of view, that is, the pursuit of football is to win, no matter who the opponent is, no matter how strong the opponent is, I want to play as hard as possible in the game, try my best to pursue the victory, even if the final result is not satisfactory, but at least I don't regret it, I hope everyone will not regret it after the game."
Before the start of the game, Liu Han, as the captain, gathered everyone together and said the above words, no matter how much the old players were touched, but at least the young players who won the 2000 Olympic Games with Liu Han were touched by Liu Han's words. (To be continued.) )
