After the group stage, the players have another 3 days to rest.

Aside from the car ride to Paris, the players don't have much to do on weekdays other than watching the game.

Advancing to the group stage is something like this that I never thought of before.

The whole Chinese team has changed from nervous and anxious at the beginning to relaxed now.

To put it mildly, even if they are eliminated in the next game, the players will not have any complaints.

Overall, the mentality of the whole team is very relaxed.

Although the range of activities is limited to the hotel, it is okay to play table tennis, swim, play cards, play chess, and even listen to music and watch movies.

Iron can also be used in the gym, but in an important competition like the World Cup, Ou Chuliang simply uses some lighter equipment to keep his muscles alive.

Ou Chuliang belongs to daily training, but Li Tie is a simple "iron idiot".

So Ou Chuliang came to the gym for another purpose, which is to control Li Tie's iron weight, and this guy is not finished as soon as he picks it up!

"Tiezi, what are your plans after the World Cup?" Ou Chuliang did the easiest back pulling training, and casually found a topic and asked.

"Intended?" Li Tie paused for a moment, to be honest, he really hadn't thought about it.

After returning from the Toulon Cup, Li Tie has been training with the national team. Then he came to France and played such a fierce World Cup.

Now ask him what he wants to do after the World Cup, Li Tie is really blindsided.

"Of course I'm going to keep playing!" Li Tie replied.

"Are you really stupid or fake! Kick the ball, you have to have a place to play! Ou Chuliang rolled his eyes.

Li Tie is his national team teammate, but the two have another layer of relationship.

After the World Cup, the Football Association will free up its hands, and the issue of Jianlibao's dissolution must be put on the charter. Of the more than 20 "international students", one of them is not well distributed, but it will cause people to be dissatisfied.

Li Tie was born in Liaozu, and now Liaozu is still there, so Ou Chuliang has to touch his own thoughts in advance.

"Can't you go back to Liaozu?"

As soon as Ou Chuliang's words fell, Li Tie replied without thinking, which greatly surprised Ou Chuliang.

Thanks to his "success" in Serie A, the current trend is for players to travel to Europe as much as possible and play in the world's top leagues.

Like Li Tie, who is "not enterprising" and wants to go home to play in League B, and is talented, he served as the main force of the national team at a young age, but he is the only one in the scorpion.

Back to Liaozu?

You really say it.

Now Liaozu is still playing A B, although I have the confidence to rush A this year, but don't you think it's Qu Cai?

Hearing Ou Chuliang's question, Li Tie smiled and said, "What kind of talent is Qu?" We can't forget our roots, this is what you taught us, Brother Ou! ”

"Uh... Well, that's true. Seeing Li Tie replying to himself with what he had said when he first arrived in Brazil, he was a little speechless for a while.

"I plan to help Liaozu rush A in the second half of the year, and then wait for us to play A, and then help Liaozu win a championship or something." Li Tie spoke of his lofty ambitions.

Winning the championship is not something that everyone can say. Like the teams that have been barely relegated in the first division for many years, their goal at the beginning of the season is to be relegated, not to win the championship with Rausch.

Li Tie has such ambitions, which is still very suitable for his age.

But the problem is that with Li Tie's talent and ability to perform, staying in A A for a lifetime is definitely a condescending talent, and there is no better performance.

So even if Li Tie wants to play in Liaozu for the rest of his life, Ou Chuliang will not allow it.

"Tiezi, didn't you want to play abroad?" Seeing Li Tie's stunned appearance, Ou Chuliang couldn't help but remind.

"I'm going to play abroad!" Hearing this, Li Tie suddenly put down the dumbbell in his hand.

To be honest, he hadn't really thought about it.

"Will there be a club that wants me?" After a while, Li Tie asked innocently.

"Hahaha, of course there is!" Ou Chuliang patted Li Tie's shoulder, and his eyebrows fluttered, "Let's kick into the top 16 this time!" I dare say that all the players who have played on the field will receive invitations from foreign clubs to some extent! Some of the main forces may still be favored by the giants! ”

"Oh, that's right!" Li Tie nodded, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

Seeing that Li Tie looked like he had nothing to do with himself, Ou Chuliang was also puzzled.

Is Li Tie really unwilling to go abroad?

With Li Tie's age, it is neither too early nor too late to go abroad at this time. If you really wait until you are 25 years old as stipulated by the national football team, it will be too late.

But then again, is it really good for a young player to go straight to Europe without knowing it well?

Reflecting on his experience at Napoli and what happened to Ferdinando, he really didn't want his teammates to "suffer like this" like him. It is very difficult for a foreign player to mix in an unfamiliar environment, and it is secondary to play the ball well, and finally get some mental illness, which is the most terrible.

But if you don't go abroad, you can't get development if you don't go abroad, with the current ability of AA, it's good to cultivate a top Asian star, and it's still very early to train world-class players!

Although the Chinese team broke into the top 16 for the first time, there is still a lot of luck in it.

And everyone has seen that the offensive ability of the Chinese team is seriously insufficient, but as long as a little bit of troops are invested, the seemingly "indestructible" defense will become an eggshell. If the Chinese team wants to go further, world-class coaches with rich experience are indispensable, and the players must also be players who have seen strong winds and waves.

Just like Acchul, although Napoli have poor results, Ouchuliang has benefited a lot from two trips to Milan and a sniping experience against Serie A team Juventus.

I used to just watch those Serie A stars play on TV, but now I've mentioned the ball on the same pitch as them, and when I meet them in the World Cup, I'm not so flustered.

In particular, Ou Chuliang's personal "excellent record" made him feel that these so-called stars were "just like that".

Therefore, it is not possible for the players to keep working behind closed doors in A-A. Be sure to get out there and race in the best leagues in the world.

Just like today's Ou Chuliang, a discerning person can see at a glance that Ou Chuliang is simply a two-level player compared with other Chinese players.

Only when all independent academies have been baptized by the world's top leagues can such a Chinese team be qualified to go further in the World Cup stage!

Seeing Li Tie talking to death, Ou Chuliang also fell silent.

Although Li Tie has not shown any intention of staying abroad at present, Ou Chuliang has decided that after this World Cup, he will look for a buyer for Li Tie.

A player who is so young and very outstanding in a certain function is definitely accepted by the club. As for whether it can succeed and whether it can go abroad immediately after success, that's all for later. Anyway, no matter what, others Ou Chuliang can't take care of these capable "little partners", Ou Chuliang must find a way to get them out, even if it is in some second- and third-rate leagues in Europe.

Nagging, Sun Jihai also walked in.

"Yo, Brother Ou, I knew you were here." As soon as Sun Jihai's clothes were taken off, he also revealed a body of tendon meat.

"Brother Ou, I just heard you laughing, why are you so happy?" Sun Jihai stood on the treadmill not far from Ou Chuliang and turned on the walking mode.

"We're talking about going abroad and staying abroad!" Ou Chuliang replied with a smile.

Seeing Sun Jihai's original expression, Ou Chuliang suddenly asked.

"Jihai, didn't you negotiate with Manchester City in the Premier League? How's that, is there any news? ”

Last year, Jianlibao "talented player transfer", Sun Jihai was also one of the players who were photographed.

But Manchester City still has a hand, first "loaning" Sun Jihai to Wanda to play for another year, and then wait a year to see his performance.

Now, Sun Jihai is shining on the stage of the World Cup, and there are already many big clubs who want to get such an excellent wide player, and Manchester City can be said to have made a lot of money compared to the deal.

'Oh, I've been contacted by the Man City manager.' Sun Jihai nodded, "I'm going to play in the Premier League after this World Cup, anyway, I have a good level of English now, and it is not a problem to communicate with the locals." ”

"That's good, that's good." Ou Chuliang nodded after hearing this, and also fell into deep thought.

Son Jihai and Manchester City have a good model, first bouncing the transfer deal, and then reversing the loan to the original team for observation, training and training.

Just like Sun Jihai, he has gained a lot in Wanda this year, winning the league championship and the Asian Club Cup. In addition, he has studied hard for the past year, and even if he can't be the main force directly on Manchester City's side, he is at least a main substitute. Slowly stay up for a year or two, and if you play well, you may become the absolute main force of Manchester City.

Glancing at Li Tie, who was stupidly weighted on the side, Ou Chuliang suddenly felt that Li Tie and Li Jinyu could also adopt such a model.

Anyway, with their level, they may not be able to play directly in the main team in Europe, and most of them are also the result of being loaned out.

It would be better to go back to A on loan.

Although the environment of League A is not comparable to that of the second- and third-rate leagues in Europe, at least it must not suffer in its own club.

This year, or even two or three years, diligent training, and some money to play a few friendly matches with some European clubs, can also achieve the purpose of temporarily cultivating players.

Just like this World Cup, Manchester City can't wait to summon Sun Jihai to Manchester City to report, doesn't it value his heroic performance in world-class competitions?

Although the World Cup is held every four years, there are also continental competitions such as the Asian Cup and the Olympic Games, which can also show themselves.

If you go to Europe and then you go on loan to a small team, you have no relatives there, and you get sick or injured and no one cares about you. If you don't have timely care and treatment, just wait for scrap!

In the end, if you want to return to China, the players are no longer as brave as they used to be!

After thinking about it, Ou Chuliang roughly set a suitable way out for the young talents of Liaozu. What we need to do now is to strive to build the general environment, the first A, into the level of the second- and third-rate leagues in Europe. At the very least, European scouts come to inspect and think that you can really develop talents here, and the level is okay, so they will agree to re-loan the signed players.

If A A can't even do this, then everything is empty talk.

Thinking of this, Ou Chuliang was suddenly full of energy, and like Li Tie, he increased the weight of the back puller to the maximum, and then made a set of them fiercely.

QTN! Let's get this World Cup right first!

The Chinese team has achieved excellent results, and the Football Association has the right to speak only if it issues new regulations, and only then can it have the confidence to suppress the black whistle of match-fixing.

When the time comes, the discipline of the first-class and second-level three-stage league will be cleared, and the team and players will play football wholeheartedly and win with strength. Coupled with the excellent results of the national team, there is no reason why the first A league should not become a world-famous league. In a few years, some stars and foreigners will also come here to play, and if the local players want to develop and train, they don't need to cross half the world to Europe!

The World Cup is the first step taken by Chinese football!

......

After the first two sets of qualifiers were named, the results of Group C were similar to what people thought.

France defeated Denmark 2-1 to advance from the group. Denmark lost, but South Africa did not win Saudi Arabia either.

Perhaps it was because of the Chinese team qualifying, and Saudi Arabia, the top group in the top ten, tried its best to fight for honor in the last group stage. The two sides played 94 minutes and drew 2-2 with South Africa, who were aiming for a big victory. As a result, Denmark finished second in the group with four points with one win, one draw and one loss, and South Africa did not seize the opportunity in the last game and was eliminated.

Group D was a game of ups and downs, with Paraguay scoring the fastest goal of the tournament by scoring the fastest goal of the tournament by scoring the goal of the tournament in the opening minute.

Although Nigeria equalized nine minutes later by Oruma, Nigeria, who played half the main game, still conceded two goals in the second half and lost 1-3 to Paraguay, who were determined to win. Nigeria, led by Milou, qualified hand in hand with the opponent.

On the other hand, even though Spain beat Bulgaria 6-1 in the game, the matadors, who did not have the right to qualify, were still eliminated.

In this way, Spain became the first seeded team to be eliminated from the tournament.

In the final round of Group E, with a 5-0 victory over South Korea, the uncrowned king Netherlands ushered in the final game of the group stage, and Mexico also became their last "roadblocker" before advancing to the knockout round.

Through this match, the strengths and weaknesses of the Dutch team were shown very clearly. As in the match against Belgium, the game ended in a draw.

But the Dutch are more of the "losing side".

They were quite strong in the opening stages, with the first 20 minutes of the game led by Cocu, Ronald and Ronald Brown. De Boer laid a 2-0 lead. However, the Orange didn't hold on to the momentum until the end. In the final 20 minutes of the game, substitute striker Andreas Pereas and star Hernandez each scored a goal to make the final score 2-2. Especially the goal scored in the 95th minute of extra time is a classic.

With this precious point, Mexico secured their ticket to the round of 16 and finished second on goal difference.

If Mexico won the right to qualify with their last "tenacity", the European Red Devils Belgium did not seize their last chance. Although Neelis scored a goal in the opening seven minutes, South Korea, who were also fighting for glory, equalized the score in the 71st minute. After 90 minutes, the two teams shook hands 1-1 and went home together.

There was no suspense in the final round of Group F, with Yugoslavia beating the United States 1-0 and Germany beating Chile 2-0.

In Group G, Romania drew 1-1 with Tunisia, and in the "life-and-death competition" between England and Colombia, the British "gentlemen" had the last laugh with goals from Andaton and David Beckham.

The Group H match was more like an explanation, with Argentina beating Croatia 1-0 to qualify together. Japan lost 2-1 to Jamaica and Masashi Nakayama scored a face-saving goal in the 74th minute.

So far, all the top 16 teams in this World Cup have been produced.

One in eight matchups is Brazil vs. China, Italy vs. Norway, Nigeria vs. Denmark, France vs. Paraguay, Netherlands vs. Yugoslavia, Germany vs. Mexico, Argentina vs. England, and Romania vs. Croatia.

On June 27, at 16:30 p.m., the quarterfinals between Italy and Norway officially began.

With Vieri's 18th-minute goal, Italy beat Norway 1-0 and became the first team to advance to the quarter-finals.

At this time, Paris was already crowded.

Duan Quan, holding the microphone, as an expatriate reporter for CCTV, he needs to interview some useful, positive and positive news in the crowd of fans and send it back to China.

When it was connected to the domestic broadcast studio, the fans who were also sitting in front of the TV in the early hours of the morning saw a patch of red.

I don't know, I thought it was the scenery outside a stadium in China!

"Hello audience friends, I'm the host Duan Quan."

"Now I'm outside the Parc des Princes stadium in Paris, and we can see that there are Chinese fans everywhere who come to cheer for the Chinese team."

"The Parc des Princes has a capacity of more than 48,000 fans and is the home of Ligue 1 powerhouse Paris Saint-Germain. It is a modern football stadium that has hosted many Champions Cup finals here! ”

"It won't be long before China and Brazil will be fighting on the pitch behind me for a place in the quarterfinals."

"Who will die in the end, let's listen to the voices of the fans at the scene."

Duan Quan said, and handed the microphone to the fans on the side.

Before he could ask, the fans wearing red headbands in front of the camera, the Chinese flag painted on their cheeks, and the fans dressed in red stretched their necks and shouted: "Long live the Chinese team!" The Chinese team will win! Long live the Chinese team! The Chinese team must win!! ”

The hoarse shouts of this fan resonated with many fans, and after a while, Duan Quan's voice came from behind him.

"Long live the Chinese team! The Chinese team must win!! ”

Yes, if there is a match of the Chinese team, and if you interview the fans of the Chinese team, will you still get the answer that you want the Brazilian team to win?
