At the post-match press conference, the Australian coach was unconvinced. He believes that the lack of victory in the race was entirely due to luck.

"We played very well in the first half, and even almost scored a couple of times, but the luck of the Chinese team was really good."

"So in the second half, luck went to the Chinese team, which allowed them to seize the opportunity..."

The Australian coach made no mention of his team's brutality and the red dot package in the final moments of the game, which seemed to him to be a common occurrence.

"Since you said Australia played well in the first half, it was luck that they didn't score. However, the number we got was that Australia had a total of 13 shots from the door in the first half, and the Chinese goalkeeper saved all 13 shots. Not even a single shot hit the crossbar or the post, excuse me, is that still a matter of luck? ”

The Australian coach pursed his lips and muttered in a voice that no one could hear: Isn't that goalkeeper lucky... Or, the Chinese team is lucky to have such a good goalkeeper...

When it was the turn of the Chinese side to speak, Ladd said in a deep voice: "It was a wonderful game, and I am very satisfied with the performance of the players." ”

"Fourteen players fought the pitch to get a win back and help the team qualify. They are heroes and I am very proud of the players. ”

In this game, the Chinese team received 7 yellow cards, 3 main players were unable to play in the semi-finals, and one player retired injured, and the situation is uncertain.

With such an ending, can you still say that you are satisfied?

The reporters in the audience looked at each other, they wanted to ask some further questions, but looking at the way Ladd looked, they didn't seem to want to say more.

The coaches of both sides did not say a word about the clashes and scrambles of the players on the pitch, much to the surprise of some fans.

The video of the press conference and Ladd's remarks were sent back home, and many media outlets lured readers with the headline "An Unworthy Victory".

Under the inducement of these media, the shouting fans denounced Ladd: Obviously you can qualify with a draw, and you won the game with all your might, but you ended up with such a result, is it worth it?

"It's worth it!" There was confidence in Rad's voice.

In the dressing room, the players sat in their chairs and listened to Ladd's instructions.

"Congratulations, team members, congratulations on completing your transformation!" Ladd said loudly.

"What is the World Cup? The World Cup is a tournament that brings together the best teams from all over the world. There, every win counts. No one is sure to win, and every game requires your best effort! ”

"It's like today's game."

With that, Ladd looked around at everyone and continued.

"You may be wondering why I didn't protest the brutality of my opponent after the game, not even a word."

"Guys, I want to ask you, is that really important?"

"In my opinion, that's how football should be. Do your best to win. ”

"The Confederations Cup is just a rehearsal for the World Cup, if you can't even accept this level of pressing, then bring it up with me as soon as possible and go home and play in your hometown league!"

Ladd's remarks were made about several players who were the most aggressive people who were clamoring for sanctions against Australia after the game.

"Players, the World Cup is not the end for you, but the starting point."

"The World Cup is held every four years, and elite teams from all over the world are selected to play together. For a weaker team, you have to give your best every game to have a chance of winning. ”

"From the group stage to the knockout round, the god of luck will not always favor you, all you can have is your own efforts."

"So I hope to make everyone understand through this game that the World Cup is not a child's play, but a war!"

"Only the winner is qualified to move forward, and only the winner has the right to speak."

'I'm very happy that I saw your desire to win in today's game and I saw football go back to the way it was before. Only by continuing this desire to win will the World Cup leave its traces. ”

Rad's words reminded everyone.

Thinking back to the game against Australia, recalling those inadvertent scrambles and passes.

Maybe I was carried away by "anger" when I was on the field, but now that I think about it, if I hadn't worked so hard at that time, let alone win, I wouldn't have even been able to keep a draw!

What's more, at that time, Australia and Australia had already fought to that point, who would want to be injured or not?

There is something to do, there is something to do!

Especially the several defenders, when they thought of the extreme rescue made by Ou Chuliang after they turned around, they were all afraid.

But if Van Ouchulian slipped away a little, or didn't give his best in a particular save, then the outcome of the game was not yet predictable. How can those media who think they occupy the highest point get cheap and obedient under the premise that the Chinese team has already qualified?

"Yes! If we don't have the determination to fight to the death, then what's the point of let's go to the World Cup for a tour? Did we fight so hard to get into the World Cup in order to lose three games in a row in front of the world's fans? Peng Weiguo was the first to stand up and shouted loudly.

Peng Weiguo didn't play in this game, but he was scratching his ears and cheeks in the audience, and he couldn't wait to rush on the field and replace Li Tie and Zhang Xiaorui and the young players who fell.

When he saw Zhang Xiaorui injured in the penalty area and carried off the field on a stretcher, Peng Weiguo regretted it for a while.

If you insist on it a little more before the game, and you are the one who starts the game, will the result of being tackled and breaking your leg in the end not fall on Zhang Xiaorui?

The Chinese's support and expectation for the younger generations are unmatched by any nation in the world.

Hearing Peng Weiguo's ambitious words, General Fan also stood up and echoed: "What Old Peng said is right! We're here to win, not here to travel or play tricks! Did you know? ”

"Xiao Xie, tell everyone, do you want to win?" General Fan said, grabbed Xie Hui by the neck, and dragged him up from the chair, "Tell everyone, how do you feel now?" Say, say! ”

Listening is full of enthusiasm, but where did Xie Hui think that he would stand up and speak in the next second? Xie Hui, who was driven to the shelves, was flushed, although he had a belly of ambition, he didn't know how to express it.

Looking at the team members staring at him in the venue, Xie Hui hesitated for a long time without saying a word.

Looking at Xie Hui's embarrassed appearance, Wu Chengying snorted, turned his face away, and couldn't bear to look at it directly.

Seeing that Xie Hui was stuck here, General Fan also hated iron but not steel. "Slap" slapped on Xie Hui's buttocks, "Xiao Xie, I'll talk to you!" If you have any thoughts, you have to say them, don't be afraid, don't you know, don't you know? ”

Xie Hui lowered his head, and he had no desire to resist in front of Big Brother.

At this moment, Ou Chuliang suddenly stood up and shouted: "The Chinese team will win!" ”

"The Chinese team will win!" Several Jianlibao youngsters with flushed faces couldn't help it for a long time, and stood up and shouted.

"The Chinese team must win !!" The rest of the team members also reacted, and their cries shook the sky.

Looking at the room full of undetermined team members, Ladd and Qi Weisheng both nodded.

In a series of shouts, General Fan looked at Xie Hui with a dissatisfied expression, "Look at people, look at you, it's really mud that can't support the wall!" Don't you really have anything to say? ”

After Ou Chuliang helped him out of the siege, Xie Hui's nervousness eased a lot. He looked at General Fan pitifully and said softly, "I... I am hungry. ”

"What? What are you talking about? General Fan leaned his ear over and asked loudly.

"No... It's nothing. ”

......

In the evening, after the team members were full of wine and food, they began to wash and wash.

Ladd studied the tactics for the next game at his table, and the room was quiet except for the occasional flip.

Several teaching assistants were smoking smokingly cigarettes in the corridor, and Wang Junsheng and Qi Weisheng were sitting on the sofa with big eyes, not knowing what they were thinking.

"Bell bell..."

A series of hurried phone rings suddenly broke the silence.

Gu Ming took out an old-fashioned mobile phone from his pocket, opened the cover and put it next to his ear, and said loudly, "Hey? That's right, it's me! ”

"Lao Chen! How's it going over there?"

Hearing the word "Lao Chen", all the Chinese personnel pricked up their ears. Even Ladd, who was on the side, put down his pen and listened quietly.

"Huh? What the? This... All right... Okay, okay, okay, then that's it, I'll say what Head Wang said. Okay, okay, okay, tell their doctor, you must take a good look at it, you can't make a mistake, you know? ”

After putting down the phone, Gu Mingchang realized that there were at least five pairs of wolf-like eyes staring at him around.

Gu Ming Chang came to Wang Junsheng and looked at Wang Junsheng nodding slightly, but he closed his eyes and shook him left and right twice.

"Commander, Zhang Xiaorui's situation is not very good."

"What's going on? What happened to him? Qi Weisheng on the side couldn't help but ask hurriedly.

"The doctor said he had a broken ankle, what a second metatarsal and fibula..."

"Don't say this, I don't understand." Qi Zhuosheng waved his hand, "I just want to know if this kid can still play football in the future?" ”

"Kick the ball!" Gu Mingchang's eyes lit up, "The doctor said that if you recover well after surgery, there is no problem with continuing to play football..."

"Whew! That's good, that's good! Hearing the "guarantee" of Gu Mingchang, all the Chinese personnel breathed a sigh of relief. For Zhang Xiaorui, who regards football as his life, this "life" has finally been saved.

Just as the Chinese personnel were greeting each other, Rad opened his mouth and asked, "Gu, when did the doctor say Zhang will recover?" ”

Hearing this, the eyelids that Gu Ming Chang had just opened drooped again.

"He... He..."

"Oh Lao Gu, what are you still inking at this time, hurry up and say it!" A colleague on the side urged.

Gu Mingchang looked up at Wang Junsheng, who was also looking forward to it, and said in a deep voice: "The doctor said that he will have to take care of this condition for at least half a year, and then he can do some rehabilitation exercises. ”

"Half a year?" Wang Junsheng didn't ease his taste for a while.

Qi on the side counted with his fingers, and his face immediately changed. "Old Gu, the World Cup..."

"World Cup, he guesses it's out of play..."Gu Mingchang said at the end, his voice became the same as that of a mosquito.

"Hi !!" Everyone sighed collectively.

Rad shook his head when he heard the news, and sat back in his chair, studying the next match.

Wang Junsheng took a deep breath, stood up and concluded, "Okay, okay, don't be so depressed!" ”

"If you can't catch up, you can't catch up, and health is the most important thing. What's more, didn't the doctor say that if you recover well, it's okay to get back on the court. Coach Gu, don't you say? ”

"Yes! Yes, yes, yes. Gu Ming Chang nodded hurriedly.

"Then this is a blessing in misfortune!" Wang Junsheng nodded and said, "Zhang Xiaorui's child is still young, and he is only 20 years old this year. If he plays for a long time, he will be fine for three more World Cups. ”

"Don't be too frustrated, let's do the job at hand. We've done what we've done in this Confederations Cup, and we have two games to go, so it's best to win the championship, if we can't win it..."

Speaking of this, Wang Junsheng glanced at Ladd and continued, "I hope that such a tragedy will not happen again, and go back and tell the team members to cherish their bodies and pay attention to safety." This Confederations Cup is just a rehearsal for the World Cup, and the highlight is in the back, but don't have another Zhang Xiaorui, do you understand? ”

"Got it!" The coaching staff said in unison.

Ladd sighed in his seat, speechless.

Playing football, how can you not get hurt?

If you're afraid of getting hurt, what kind of football do you play?

But the situation of the Chinese team is like this, the foundation is thin, the bench is shallow, and there is one less injury. Everyone is a treasure and has their own role on the pitch.

Wang Junsheng cherishes talents, and also talks about the past.

"By the way, Coach, do you want to tell the team about this...", the ancient commander took the opportunity to ask.

Wang Junsheng groaned, "Hmm... It's better not to tell. At the very least, don't tell until the Confederations Cup is over. ”

"Okay, I got it."

But if the coaches don't say it, the players really don't know anything?

When Zhang Xiaorui was injured, Sun Jihai was not far from him. After his description, everyone knows what kind of injury Zhang Xiaorui suffered.

In addition, all the coaches are tight-lipped, everyone is guessing, and they also guess that eight or nine are not far from ten.

"Gazi doesn't know how sad she has to cry at this time!" Deliberation lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, muttering.

"Nonsense, he can't be anesthetic at this time to do surgery?!" Li Jinyu retorted on the side.

"That's... Isn't it okay to cry after he finishes the operation and the numbing is gone? ”

"That's not crying now..."Li Jinyu said in the end, and gradually fell silent.

The room was silent.

Injuries are always a footballer's worst enemy.
