The referee's whistle blew, and everyone on the Chinese bench poured into the stadium.
The cries at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium reached a boiling point, with all the Chinese fans standing up and waving whatever they could, keeping their shouts as loud as possible.
"We're out, we're out! We're finally out there!! β
"World Cup! Here we go!!! β
Fans opened banners that had been prepared for a long time, and some people even lit fireworks, and they don't know how he got through the security check.
In the stands, Lao Rong and Xiao Rong hugged each other tightly, and Quan Kan and another unknown big man next to him also hugged each other enthusiastically.
Rosie took off his trademark cowboy hat and wiped the corners of his eyes.
"Lao Li, you are really unproductive, why did you drop so much horse urine?"
"Isn't Lao Tzu happy?" Rosie glanced at Lao Chen beside him, "Why are you still talking about me?" Look at yourself! The rain has stopped for a few minutes, don't tell me it's your saliva! β
"Huh? Yes! Lao Chen hurriedly rubbed his eyes with his sleeve. At some point, his eyes were moist.
Looking at the dark clouds scattered in the distance, and the red light scattered on the horizon, Rossi sighed: "It's clear..."
General Fan fell to his knees on the grass, and Xie Hui beside him couldn't pull it up.
"We're out, we're finally out! Xiao Xie, do you know! We're out, we're out! β
"Well, Brother Fan, we're out!" Xie Hui nodded fiercely.
"Pinch me, ah, pinch me! Tsk tsk, why are you so inked! General Fan said, pinching Xie Hui's thigh fiercely.
"Whew!"
Hearing Xie Hui's shout like killing a pig, General Fan finally couldn't help it, and two lines of tears poured down.
"Yo!! Oh!!! We're out! We're out! The young Jianlibao team members naturally couldn't feel the meaning of General Fan's tears, these young people gathered together, and some were just happy about the victory.
For some players, this may be his last World Cup; But for young people like Li Tie and Li Jinyu, isn't this just the beginning?
Ou Chuliang leaned his back against the goal, one foot forward to support the ground, one foot on the tiptoe of the ground, rubbing the goal post back and forth with shoe spikes, looking into the distance.
The chewing gum had long been soaked by the rain, but at this time, when he took it out of his pocket and put it in his mouth, Ou Chuliang felt a burst of sweetness.
When he came to Italy, he was told that it was a very bad habit. The goalkeeper needs to make all kinds of difficult saves during the game, and if the gum blocks the trachea at this time, the consequences will be irreversible.
Now, Ou Chuliang puts his "vice" after the game. Go and chew on the delicious chewing gum after the game, and no one should care, right?!
Qi followed the team and ran forward two steps until the brand-new leather shoes made the turf splash. He found out that he was also 53 years old.
As a former member of the national team, I didn't get what I wanted when I was young. Now, I can finally lead a team to France. In this situation, Qi Miaosheng was also so excited that he burst into tears.
He did not follow the staff and players to run around in the field, nor did he follow the players to the bottom of the stands and direct the fans to sing "Singing the Motherland" in unison, but turned around, came to Ladd, and bowed deeply.
"Coach Qi, what are you doing..."
"Mr. Ladd, I, I, I..." Qi took Ladd's hand, and was speechless for a while.
"You don't have to speak, I know how you feel." Ladd patted Qi Shusheng on the shoulder, "Speaking of which, it is also the first time that I have led the team to the World Cup. I have to say, it's still the players who are competing! β
"Mr. Ladd, I don't know how to thank you!" Qi Weisheng finally relieved himself, wiped the corners of his eyes and said, "If I am allowed to lead the team alone, I will definitely not be able to qualify as smoothly as today." I, on behalf of all the members of the Chinese Football Association, thank you! Thank you for helping us make our dreams come true! β
After the rain, the sky is clear, and the football field is full of happy smiles.
The Japanese players, who had left the field early, trotted back to the locker room at a fast trot under the orders of the coach. Just after the rain, the Chinese players can not be afraid of catching a cold, but the Japanese players cannot.
They still have to recharge their batteries and fight for the last glimmer of hope of qualifying.
Huang Jianxiang sat in front of the TV, bursting with happiness.
"Let's congratulate the Chinese team, congratulations to Ladd, congratulations to Qi Missheng, and congratulations to every player on the field."
"France, here we are!"
After speaking, Huang Jianxiang also choked up.
Zhang Lu patted his partner's shoulder on the side, and his face was just wiped with tears.
Over the past 40 years, the Chinese team's road to the World Cup has been so difficult and bumpy.
This time, there were no black three minutes, no Irbiid tragedy, there was, just victory and revelry.
At this moment, the fans in front of the TV could no longer hold back, took out the fireworks they had bought a long time ago, and ran to the open space outside the house, letting the bunches of fireworks light up the night sky.
In the Sanlitun bar in the capital, everyone was drunk, but no one fell.
Everyone's eyes lit up and they looked directly at the boss.
And the boss was also domineering, immediately smashed a beer bottle, and shouted loudly: "He has NN legs, Lao Tzu is not doing business, why don't you have another bottle, I will treat you!" β
"Roar, roar, roar, !!"
The same is happening in restaurants, restaurants, barbecue stands, bars and cinemas across the country, and the World Cup is a feast!
CCTV did not stop broadcasting the game, and the camera turned to connect with reporters dispatched from all over the country.
"Hello fans and friends! This is Tiananmen Square in Beijing! We can see that Tiananmen Square is already crowded with people at this moment. According to a rough estimate, there are probably more than 40,000 people! β
"In view of today's special day, even the military police acquiesced to such behavior of the fans, the scene was so lively, the fans were very excited!"
"Also, this is what I just 'grabbed', that's right, it's 'grabbing'!" As he spoke, the reporter held up red leaflets one by one in front of the camera, with two large characters printed on them, "Good News".
"This "Good News" flyer has just appeared in the square and was immediately snapped up by fans. Look, it says 'let's grab our glasses and toast our football'! Below are the reports of the top 10 matches and the data of this play-off. β
"I'm also passionate when I see it, and I can't wait to drink three bowls at once!"
The manager of the famous Millennium Garden Fan Restaurant in Beijing also poured into a large number of fans, and the manager of the restaurant said that for this long-awaited victory, the restaurant dressed all the trucks in the shape of floats, just to say hello to Chinese football.
Grandma Wang, who lives in Hepingli, never pays attention to football.
But today, she sat in front of the TV with her 6-year-old great-grandson in her arms and watched it with relish. The four generations of the same family are decorated with lights, as if they are celebrating a festival.
Facing the reporter's interview, Grandma Wang said slowly and carefully: "This is a big deal, this is a big deal!" The Chinese team won, this is the best gift for our 1.2 billion people to welcome Hong Kong's return to the motherland..."
On the streets of Shanghai, large and small, thousands of cars honked their horns. Even some children took out their air horns from their homes and kept pinching their air bags.
Hearing that the Chinese team "successfully resisted Japan" and defeated the Japanese team smoothly, the passengers in the bus compartment were not in a hurry to hurry, and they were jubilant, saying joy to each other, and clapping their hands red.
Canteens, bars, restaurants of various universities... Wherever there are conditions to watch the game, at the moment when the victory whistle blows, the sound of human voices, drums, firecrackers, and glass breaking sounds all together, and even a few college students returned to their dormitories to collect more than a dozen thermos bottles and slammed them on the ground.
"So excited, so cool, so excited! It's so exciting! The students of Fudan University used four interjections in a row when facing the camera, but they still couldn't express the extremely excited feelings in their hearts at this moment.
In the large and small bars in Shencheng, excited fans raised their wine glasses one by one, and spilled the cups to the people they knew and didn't know. After spilling it, he simply slammed the wine glass on the ground, and let his joy splash around with a "bang".
More than 3,000 fans had gathered in front of Guangzhou's China Square, and the passionate singing and unbridled shouts were mixed together, and the hot tears were boiled by the joy of the continuous high temperature. The fans gathered together and began to form a long line, marching down the road.
The prepared police have turned the street into a pedestrian street and emptied all vehicles.
In the surging crowd, the four big words "dreams come true" were held up on the dragon's head. Along the way, new fans joined, and some fans left the ranks and burrowed into the bars lining the streets.
Tonight, Yangcheng, which never sleeps, has also become a stronghold of the carnival, and there is only one theme of the carnival: we have qualified!
When the whistle blew, the port city of Dalian was also boiling.
In the Olympic Place, deafening fireworks rang out, and the bold northeasterners took a sharp puff of smoke in their mouths, and then more than a dozen strings of firecrackers were set off in a row. There was a crackle, and the entire Olympic Plaza was filled with smoke.
At this moment, the fans couldn't suppress their excitement at all, a young college student had more than 30 small red flags on his head and shoulders, and as far as the eye could see, there were five-star red flags floating around the streets.
"I... I, I've been watching football since I was 23 years old, and I've been watching this year, it's been 40 years! It's been forty years! I'm finally waiting for Chinese football to qualify! I finally saw Chinese football break out of Asia and go to the world. This time, my dream has finally come true! After speaking, the old man was in tears in front of the camera, and he couldn't stop it.
Behind the old man, there are fans singing everywhere.
Some people sang the national anthem, some people sang "unity is strength", but almost all the songs that everyone could sing in unison were sung all over again.
Shenyang's Youth Street has long been filled with people, and countless couples draped in red flags hug each other and even kiss each other. These young people of the new era did not hesitate to express their enthusiasm in front of the camera, holding hands and posing all kinds of strange grimaces in front of the camera.
Fans in Zhongshan Square shouted the names of every Chinese player, and people they didn't know walked together shoulder to shoulder, circling around the statue of the chairman.
Many fans came to the site of the new stadium, which has been fenced off. Although it is located on the outskirts of Shenyang, there are still many fans who wave flashlights and describe a magnificent football stadium to reporters in front of the construction sign.
Different from the enthusiasm of the Northeast people, in the Iron Spoon Bar in Xi'an, the fans are hugging their heads and crying, and tears are streaming down their faces. In front of reporters and cameras, each of them can say a complete sentence.
All major streets and squares such as East Street, South Street, Xincheng Square, Gulou Square, South Gate Square, etc., are full of fans who spontaneously take to the streets to celebrate.
An old cadre stroked his glasses and said to the camera one by one: "The country is prosperous, and football is prosperous." The 15th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Hong Kong returns! This year is a veritable Chinese year, and the dream of 40 years is coming true today, which is inseparable from the efforts of several generations! If it weren't for the experience, I doubt it was a dream! β
After the competition, the students of Tianjin University all squeezed out of the dormitory and gathered in the square.
They gathered under the stands, waving red flags in their hands. A few students were not enough in the stands, so they directly erected a ladder and hung a huge banner: Glory Day of Chinese Football, when Chinese fans are crazy!
Thousands of fans waved national flags and began to march along the streets of Chengdu; The other part marched in the opposite direction, along Chongqing Road.
On the banks of the Haihe River, lights and fireworks illuminate the entire river brilliantly.
The fireworks flashed, and you could see men, women, old, young, no matter what age or gender, they were all dancing, shouting, and cheering happily all the same... At this moment, there are no differences in gender, age, ethnicity, nationality, etc., they are all happy Chinese fans!
Panda Square, the center of gravity of Chengdu City, was the most crowded, with thousands of fans gathered together, and when they saw the Chinese team win, everyone took off their clothes in unison and threw them in the air.
On Tianfu Square, the lights are shining. Tens of thousands of young people held the national flag, laughing, dancing, singing, and looking from afar, it seemed to be a sea of joy.
The screening halls of major theaters also played the game, and when the game ended, the shouts of tens of millions of people converged into one sentence: Long live the Chinese team!!
At this moment, the Chinese team used such a great victory to wake up the dream that had been sleeping in the hearts of every fan in the country for 40 years.
Countless fans fell into a frenzy, and countless fans fell into a carnival.
Forty years of expectations have been fulfilled, and at this moment, they have been poured on 9.6 million square kilometers of land.
