1199 Rio de Janeiro, here we come!
The referee finally blew the whistle for the end of the game.
The game lasted a full 95 minutes, two minutes more than expected.
But in the end, it was finally over.
At the last moment, the Chinese team had exhausted all their strength, and even at the moment when the whistle blew, almost all the Chinese players collapsed on the field, but the Argentine players were not much better.
They also did their best.
Although they were as lazy as ever and the offense still didn't fit together, they really fought hard.
Especially Messi, he is also twenty-seven, and he will be thirty-one in the next World Cup.
What's more, he lost to Yang Yang again.
This was the first time he had met Yang Yang in a national team match, and he originally thought that he should be able to win the opponent, because the Chinese team has no strength at all in world football, and as the world's most populous country and the second largest economic power, their football is simply vulnerable.
Of course, Asian football is just as vulnerable.
But in such a seemingly strong and weak matchup, the Chinese team relied on a goal from Yang Yang in the first half to drag the game to the end, dragged Argentina into the quagmire of hard work, and finally relied on tenacious fighting spirit to maintain the one-goal advantage and broke out another upset.
1-0, the score remained until the end.
In the final minutes of the game, more than 10,000 Chinese and Chinese fans rose from their seats, sang the Chinese national anthem, and cheered on the players on the pitch.
Messi stood on the pitch, and the whole person had a feeling of weakness.
He wanted to cry, but he couldn't.
Losers can't have tears, because they don't get the slightest sympathy.
It's not that he didn't think about what to do if he lost to Yang Yang again, but before the game, he felt that this possibility was too small.
If Yang Yang is not counted, the Argentine frontcourt will take out a star at random, which is worth more than the sum of the value of the entire Chinese team, which shows that the gap between the two sides is really very great whether it is fame or strength.
However, under this huge advantage of being weak and strong, Argentina still failed to defeat China.
Messi can't describe his mood at this moment, he just feels very irritable, sad, painful, and wants to vent.
He didn't cry, but teammate Mascherano did.
The Argentine midfielder fell to his knees on the pitch, holding his head, crying bitterly, unable to contain his tears.
He is thirty years old and this will be the last World Cup of his career.
He couldn't imagine what kind of form he would be able to maintain in four years, but it would certainly not be as peak as it is now, and if he missed this time, he would have no future.
He really wanted to find out all his teammates and ask them one by one, what do you think of this game?
In the pre-game locker room, one or two were so optimistic, as if they were winning, but now?
Why are you confused? All dumb? Don't dare to speak anymore?
Mascherano has never been a good stubble either, he also has his own personality and temper, but now, he can only endure.
Losing is never the responsibility of one person, it's the whole team, including himself.
…………
…………
Yang Yang struggled to get up from the grass.
His feet were still trembling from overexertion, his body was extremely weak and tired, but his heart was extremely excited.
World Cup Final!
The Chinese team has rushed to the World Cup final!
As long as he thought of this, he really felt the urge to look up to the sky and roar, and he was full of strength.
This is something he would not have dared to imagine before the World Cup.
Looking at the teammates around him, everyone is like him, prostrating because of his best efforts, but his expression is extremely excited.
They don't care how to play in the final, because for them, being able to reach the final is already a miracle in itself, a victory.
Yang Yang walked slowly, step by step, to his teammates, pulled them all up from the ground one by one, greeted them together, and came to the stands where the Chinese and Chinese fans were, all of them stood in a row, even the bench and the teammates who were substituted off the field, all ran over.
A row of more than 20 people, shoulder to shoulder, holding hands, just like this, facing the fans in the stands, stood in a row.
In the stands, countless fans were moved.
In fact, they have long been moved.
It should have been a joy to celebrate the team's qualification to the World Cup final, but instead, they cried uncontrollably, and they cried profusely, especially when they saw this group of embarrassed "warriors" lined up in front of them.
Four days later, in Rio de Janeiro, the World Cup final, the Chinese national anthem will be played for the first time.
……
Amid the cheers of the fans, Yang Yang left the queue and slowly walked to the coach's seat.
Before he could walk back, Real Madrid arranged to come over, and Michel, the team doctor who followed Yang Yang to the World Cup, was already waiting there anxiously, and immediately greeted him as soon as he saw him.
"Oh God, Yang, let me see your left shoulder."
"Nothing." Yang Yang smiled and let Michelle examine himself.
"How can it be okay? You didn't have a good idea before, and now you've hit the pillar again, damn it, you have to listen to me, come with me to the hospital for a check-up, please, you can't embarrass me. ”
Before Yang Yang could answer, Michelle seemed to be crying urgently.
"Just now, the boss personally called me to inquire about the situation, and then the technical director Mr. Baldano, the head coach Mr. Ancelotti, Mr. Zidane, the general manager Mr. Redondo, and finally even the chairman called in person, they were all in a hurry, you know?"
Yang Yang smiled, and wanted to say, I don't know if they are in a hurry or not, but you are in a hurry, I can be sure.
But he finally held back, because he didn't want to tease the staff at will, especially a staff member who cared about him.
"Alright, Michelle, I know, I'll go with you when I pack up." Yang Yang said very cooperatively.
Michelle breathed a sigh of relief, afraid that Yang Yang would not cooperate with his work.
……
In fact, not only Real Madrid cares about Yang Yang's injury, but even the national team attaches great importance to it.
As soon as I heard that Real Madrid's team doctor wanted to arrange Yang Yang for an injury examination, the national team fully cooperated, and arranged for the team doctor to accompany him, and even communicated with the Brazil World Cup Organizing Committee through official channels to facilitate this matter as soon as possible.
And the media and fans around the world are also very concerned, and they are extremely concerned about Yang Yang's left shoulder injury.
You must know that before the World Cup, Yang Yang's injury made fans very worried, and now he is injured again, how can they not worry?
Especially Chinese fans, without Yang Yang, what will the Chinese team do with Germany in the final?
After the game, Yang Yang, accompanied by the team doctor and staff, rushed to a well-known hospital in São Paulo for a detailed physical examination, especially for the left shoulder, and the final report showed that the collision had indeed caused the old problem to recur.
Real Madrid's team doctor also quickly informed his boss who was far away in Madrid to report the situation on Sao Paulo's side.
Yang Yang also quickly called team doctor Carlos Dias, technical director Baldano, head coach Carlo Ancelotti and old friend Zinedine Zidane, and the club's general manager Manuel Redondo to report his injury.
'I know my own situation and I hope you can trust me that it won't affect my performance at the club.'
In fact, Real Madrid is also very clear from top to bottom, not to mention that the injury is not too serious, even if it is really serious, as long as he can still play, then Yang Yang will definitely not miss the World Cup final.
Because this is likely to be the only World Cup final in his career, and at the same time, he is the only hope for the Chinese team to compete with the German team, without Yang Yang, the Chinese team is a lamb to be slaughtered by the German team.
In this case, whether it is for himself or for the national team, Yang Yang must win.
Florentino quickly called Yang Yang personally, expressing his surprise and satisfaction with his performance in the World Cup, and also wishing him good luck in the next finals, but he also said that he hoped that Yang Yang could accept the help of Real Madrid's team doctor to actively adjust and treat and control the injury.
"The team doctor Carlos has already set off and will meet you in Rio de Janeiro, I hope he can help you, and at the same time, I also hope that you can understand that whether it is the Chinese team or our Real Madrid, you are the most important player, and there is no room for mistakes."
Yang Yang said that he understood, and also promised that he would actively cooperate.
For him, the most important thing now is to adjust his condition, get back to fitness as soon as possible and prepare for the World Cup final.
Germany is completely different from any other team.
The nickname "German tank" can tell others what kind of team the German team is.
Although many people have criticized the German team coached by Loew for their weak willpower, it is important to know that this team is very balanced, with excellent attack and defense, and strong passing ability.
The midfield of Schweinsteiger and Toni Kroos has firmly helped the German team to hold the ball, and the attack in the front and the defense in the back are also excellent, which has made the German team have been very stable since the beginning of the World Cup.
Of course, it's just stability.
The 7-1 win over Brazil was an accident and the score didn't have much reference value, but the biggest impression left by the German team from the group stage to the semi-finals was that they were comprehensive and consistent.
But this team has a clear weakness, and that is the lack of explosive points.
In today's world football, it is not enough to be comprehensive and stable, if you want to succeed, you must build your own unique advantages on the basis of a high level of comprehensiveness and stability, especially the advantages of the offensive end, so as to achieve results.
For example, Brazil's Neymar, China's Yang Yang and Argentina's Messi are all such powerful flashpoints.
But Germany lacks such a flashpoint.
For the Chinese team, the disparity in level may not allow them to grasp the weakness of the German team, and the excessive consumption of the previous games may lay a dark mine for the final.
What's worse is that in the face of a well-rounded and stable German team, it is difficult for all the strategies used to play the Netherlands and Argentina to work.
Therefore, in this final, the Chinese team has no way out but to die.
