Chapter 307 The Failure of "Happiness".
No matter how the outside media and football practitioners evaluate the "dirty performance" of the two hosts of the South Korean team and the Japanese team, at least the Chinese team has been recognized by most people, and some young players in the Chinese team have also gained the attention of European clubs, such as Zhang Xiaorui has won the appreciation of the Bundesliga club Kaiserslautern, and before the World Cup ended, Kaiserslautern sent Zhang Xiaorui a trial invitation.

The atmosphere of the World Cup has finally returned to calm under the calm of FIFA and the Referee Federation, and now the quarterfinals have been decided, and there are not many games left, what FIFA wants most now is that this World Cup will be held smoothly, as for the rest, it will naturally be liquidated after the end of the World Cup, but it is certain that in the next few years, South Korean and Japanese football players will be relatively not very happy, after all, they have now been engraved with labels, And this kind of label is not so easy to take off for a while.
After the chaos has dissipated, the World Cup is back in the competition, and the eliminated teams naturally go back to their hometowns to lick their wounds, while the qualifiers do their best to prepare for the next game.
There are fewer European teams in the quarterfinals of this World Cup, and although the promotion of the South Korean team is full of controversy, the promotion of the Chinese team has been recognized, and it is enough to see the unity of the Chinese team in that difficult situation.
On June 21, the quarter-finals officially began, with Brazil and England facing off in the first quarter-final matchup in Shizuoka, Japan.
England showed a strong fighting force in this game, they scored a goal in the 23rd minute through Owen, but unfortunately the rest of the game was dominated by the Brazilian, who had a pair of rabbit teeth and Ronaldinier kept the English out of the last four with a pass and a shot.
In the second quarter-final match of the same day, the Germans also defeated the Americans 1-0, and although the Americans were very tenacious in this game, the German team still had the last laugh.
On June 22, China will face their opponents in the quarter-finals, which only started at 7:30 p.m. on the 22nd, after the previous quarter-final match between Spain and South Korea.
In the matchup between Spain and South Korea, the lack of "help" South Korea finally leaked their true strength, although they played tenaciously in the game, but without the "protection" of the referee, the South Koreans were soon in a situation where there was one less person on the field, and the Spaniards relied on their strong midfield strength to control the game, and the final score of 5-1 made the South Koreans completely laughing stock of this World Cup.
For Chinese fans, reaching the quarterfinals is enough to make them excited, but when the quarter-finals arrive, many are looking forward to another victory, after all, Senegal doesn't sound that great.
However, his own family knows his own affairs, and the Chinese team is actually full of vigilance against the opponent in this game.
The World Cup has been played so far, the Chinese team has played four hard-fought games in 17 days, which has actually exceeded the limit of many players, the last game to the last moment of the Chinese team has a wide range of cramps, and finally they insisted on finishing the game with tenacious willpower, and four days later to face Senegal, the physical strength of the Chinese team players has been in great danger.
Senegal weren't as easy as they sounded, as they were able to beat defending champions France and knock out Sweden, who finished first in the Group of Death, thanks to more than just luck.
Almost all of the main players in this Senegal team are from Ligue 1 teams, and several of them are also the leading stars in Ligue 1 teams, such as Lens's main striker Diouf, main midfielder Diop, and Lille's midfield core Ndiaye, so Senegal's players are still very strong.
So when the quarterfinals officially started, the Chinese team was still very conservative in putting on a defensive 451 lineup.
However, after the start of the game, the discerning person can still see that the Chinese team is powerless, although the Chinese team did not concede the ball at the beginning of the game under Liu Han's hard running, but the rest of the Chinese team is indeed in poor condition in this game, the players are not running actively, and the defense also lacks continuity, so the Chinese team was at a very big disadvantage from the beginning of the game.
Senegal is located in the westernmost part of Africa, was a French colony, and in 1946 also became France's first overseas territory, when Senegalese nationals all became French nationals, although later re-independent in 1960, but Senegal and France have always been close, and most of the players in the Senegal team were born in France, and received the purest European football education since childhood, plus racial advantages, The physical fitness and technical level of the Senegalese players are actually much better than some of the players in the Chinese team.
The players of the Chinese team except for Liu Han have actually completely exhausted the last spirit in the last game against the Japanese team, and coupled with the historic entry into the quarterfinals of the World Cup, the players of the Chinese team have been mentally exhausted, so no matter how hard Liu Han runs, it can't change the situation that the players have no intention of fighting.
After holding out for 34 minutes, the Chinese team's goal was breached by Senegal, and it was Diouf who scored.
Liu Han, who returned to the locker room at halftime, didn't say much, the game came to this point, and no matter how much he said, he would only offend people.
After the start of the second half, the performance of the Chinese team still did not improve, but Senegal extended the lead of the score through a corner kick opportunity, and the Chinese team had obvious leaks in the defense of corner kicks.
Before the end of the game, Liu Han saved the last face for the Chinese team through a free kick, but it was to no avail, and in the end the Chinese team lost to Senegal 2-1, and their magical journey to the World Cup ended here, while Senegal's dark horse journey continued.
"At the end of the game, the Chinese team failed to perform a miracle again, but I believe that no fans will have an opinion on this national team, they have done their best, with the foundation of this World Cup, I believe that the future of Chinese football will be bright."
The commentary hosted by CCTV is still sensational, but this is not Huang Jianxiang's commentary, he disappeared from CCTV's commentary seat after the last game against the Japanese team.
