Section 584 The Shaping of the Spirit of the National Football Team
"Raise your head," Wu Chenxuan ordered them. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Although he lost to England 3:4 on penalties, he missed the World Cup title match. However, the fighting spirit and good technical and tactical level of the boys have been recognized by the European and American teams and European and American audiences who have seen Chinese football for the first time. The tears of the young men were not booed by the audience, but many of the audience gave a standing ovation to show respect, Wu Chenxuan can accept a defeated team, but not a beaten and depressed team.
Many of the team are active or retired Wehrmacht soldiers, after all, the army's football is the most extensive and in-depth. They have a kind of reflex reaction to the order, the players of the national team puff up their chests, although the tears on their faces have not dried, but the decadence and frustration have said goodbye to them, Wu Chenxuan patted their chests one by one with satisfaction, and the silent movements made the hearts of the players rekindle a raging fire, and the fighting spirit in their eyes flashed again. "You're the losers on the field today." Wu Chenxuan was relieved to see that they were not in a hurry to defend or dodge, and they all continued to look at their leader with solemn faces, waiting for his next verdict: "I said when I came here today, no matter whether we win or lose, we can accept it, except for one situation, that is, you have been defeated by others, and your fighting spirit is completely lost, which is unacceptable to me, and it is also unacceptable to your motherland and your people." So I am very grateful, I see an indomitable team, a team that dares to show its sword although its skills are inferior, today you are not the winner, but you are worthy of the national emblem on your chest, I, and all the people, can accept your achievements today. Although they tried their best to endure it, from Wu Chenxuan's point of view, it could be seen that their eyes were red, and their bodies were trembling slightly. The audience erupted in thunderous applause, and even the members of the England team, who were celebrating on the field, raised their hands to greet the Chinese head of state. After Wu Chenxuan bowed to the audience and thanked him, his two hands slowly pressed down, and the stadium gradually quieted down, and the audience was waiting for Wu Chenxuan's next speech. "Today, I have written a song for you with something in my heart. Okay, let's get started. With my gestures, a bakelite high-density disk in the stadium's sound booth has begun to spin, magnetic needles gently falling, jumping in the texture, and music that seems to come from the sky comes from the surrounding Chinese-made sound system, and after the prelude, a baritone reverberates in every corner of the 35,000-seat stadium.
"All the honors of yesterday have become distant memories. I have spent half my life diligently, and tonight I am again in the wind and rain. I can't go with the waves, for the sake of my beloved ones, no matter how hard it is, I have to be strong, just for those who look forward to it.
If the heart is in a dream, there is still true love between heaven and earth, and the success or failure of life is heroic, but it is just starting from the beginning.
All the honors of yesterday have become distant memories. I have spent half my life diligently, and tonight I am again in the wind and rain. I can't go with the waves, for the sake of my beloved ones, no matter how hard it is, I have to be strong, just for those who look forward to it.
If the heart is in a dream, there is still true love between heaven and earth, and the success or failure of life is heroic, but it is just starting from the beginning. ”
Chanting over and over again, gradually all the Chinese on the field began to sing along with the music, and their emotions were excited. The coach and team doctor on the sidelines clenched their fists, waving to the music, the blood vessels and tendons in their necks had jumped high, their faces were full of bloodshot red, and sweat splashed on the surrounding lawn with the swing of their hair. Audiences in Europe and the United States couldn't help but be infected by the impassioned emotions in this song, and began to sing along with the rhythm of the music in half-baked Chinese. When the music stopped, not only the Chinese players on the field burst into tears, but also many England coaches and players on the field, match officials and spectators outside the stadium burst into tears. So much so that when the defeated Chinese team left with their heads held high, everyone cheered and applauded like a farewell to the winner.
The next day, no, that night, radio stations in China, Europe, America, Asia-Pacific, Arabia, and all over the world were broadcasting a translation of my speech, along with the song that was unanimously named "Start Again" by all the team members. In China and various places where Chinese live, starting from scratch almost overnight has become a must-sing repertoire for Chinese, even the old and the babbling children are singing, this craze has also inspired many landless farmers in the transition period of industrial development, let go of the entanglement of the land, out of the farmland, to the factory and the city, to start their own new life. This relieved the officials of the Government Council and the Ministry of Agriculture, and at the same time sighed at the charisma of the leader, and a song solved the problem of guiding and diverting the landless peasants that had plagued them for a long time. However, in the corner, some bigwigs of the Chamber of Commerce hated the roots of their teeth three feet long, and what a good opportunity to make waves, they were actually disturbed by a song by him, which is really "the crime of heaven and death for me not to fight".
Four years later, at the World Cup in the United States, most of the original team members of the Chinese team regrouped and made it all the way to the final. In the final, they met Germany, who eliminated England. In the face of the tall and fierce Germans, the new and old players of the Chinese men's football team have already fought for the red eye, the goalkeeper gave up his body to block the eye-catching, bravely pounced on the ball, the defender knocked the corner flag in order to get the position, the striker in order to compete for the header, in the case of losing balance, he used his body to protect the ball to create a good opportunity for his teammates to shoot, he broke his left arm because he did not come and did the protection action, and in the case of the substitution quota was full, he used the splint to hang his arm to the fullback to continue to fight to intercept, and the old players in the midfield were physically exhausted. In the second half of the second half, he almost ran while vomiting, and he was stunned to run nearly 15,000 kilometers all the way. Although there were no malicious fouls on the players, the desperate spirit was almost as thick as substance, and later Germany's captain and defender Cameron recalled, "It was the toughest game of my career, I admit we did our best, but against eleven, ah-oh no, plus the substitute is fourteen crazy red-eyed Chinese bulls, we obviously can't win." God, can you imagine a situation where we were playing and the opponent was fighting, I thought about the last few minutes, a lot of the players were looking at their watches, they were definitely not counting the time to fight back, in fact they didn't want to stay on the same field for a minute with these crazy people, of course I tried to encourage everyone, but I actually wanted to get out of that damn field, we all knew in our hearts that we had lost. Thank God, since then, our team hasn't played against China again, and I think that's one of the reasons why I've survived to write my memoir. In the end, the fierce and domineering German chariot was overturned by this group of iron-clad men, and the Chinese team relied on the striker's one arm in exchange for a shot opportunity to finally defeat the German team, the favorite to win the championship 2:1. By the time the starters stood on the podium, they were already full of wounded, a striker had a broken left arm, a goalkeeper had a broken nose, a defender had an open eyebrow, and two others were hung with blood, blood seeping through gauze, and the red pattern was a warrior's medal.
Wu Chenxuan postponed the agenda of the CEEC meeting and came to the scene. He was honored to present flowers to the lads, who were clearly pleased with their results, and although some of them were already crumbling, they all did their best to hold their chests high in front of the Führer. The Führer's speech was very short, in fact, there was only one sentence: "Today, I, Wu Chenxuan, am here to witness that you have fulfilled the promise you made four years ago and won glory for the motherland in this competition, and that you have won not only a seat in the Remet Cup, but also the respect of all other countries for the indomitable and precious qualities of the Chinese, so I can proudly declare that you are the undisputed kings in today's arena, you are the pride of our Chinese democratic empire, and you are the indomitable backbone of our nation. You are the well-deserved heroes of all Chinese and ethnic Chinese. Salute! When the Führer ended his speech with a solemn military salute, looking at the trembling team members who returned the salute, silence was better than silence.
The birth of the title of "the backbone of the nation, the pride of China" has given the Chinese men's football team its own soul, although there have been defeats in the World Cup since then, but the Chinese team, which has won the championship twice in the next five World Cups, has undoubtedly become a world-recognized first-class team. Most of the men's football players who have undergone a rebirth have chosen to continue to engage in sports after retiring, and some have entered business or entered enterprises, but no matter what the choice, they have almost become advanced figures in all walks of life, and finally there was a director of the General Administration of Sports, two national team head coaches, six league team head coaches, three national outstanding grassroots cultural, educational, sports and art teachers, and two business tycoons, including Qi Baoshan, who founded the "War Spirit" sports equipment brand. In all the records, none of the old internationals of that class were imprisoned or scandalized, and they all used their glorious or ordinary life experiences to tell future generations what kind of people are worthy of the iron-clad eight big characters. And the "men's football spirit" has almost become synonymous with "not afraid of setbacks, dare to fight", the entire Chinese sports world is healthy and thriving in such an atmosphere, so the later sports world is almost a pure land, where the dirty and dirty things have nothing to hide, some are just the level of technical and tactical level, and the fighting spirit and strong sense of responsibility and mission have almost become the label of Chinese sportsmen, and Chinese sports have also dominated the eight consecutive Olympic Games after the 1932 Olympic Games, and they are proud of the others, writing a myth that belongs to the spirit of Chinese sportsmanship.
