Chapter Eighty-Nine: Thank you Pogba, thank you Umtiti, thank you Dembele!
Beep
Beep
Beep......
At the end of the game, the Chinese team finally defeated the French team 1:0 and advanced to the semifinals of the World Cup.
Another simple game, which still killed the French team when the whole world was not optimistic.
"Thank you Umtiti!"
"Thanks Pogba!"
"Thank you Dembele!"
"They are also making great contributions to China!"
"Thank you very much!"
"The Chinese team has become the first team to advance to the semi-finals!"
"In 2006, we were the round of 16, in 2010, we were third, in 2014, we were the champions, in 2018? Let's move on! ”
"Next up, we're going to have to be the winner of Belgium or Brazil."
"We'll know in two hours."
……
The scene has become a sea of joy for Chinese fans, and it has also become a sad grave for French fans.
One by one, the French players sat on the turf with their heads bored, and did not have the strength to raise their heads again.
Dong Fangzhuo walked towards the young Mbappe, and tears flowed from his big eyes.
He's not even 20 years old.
"Cry,"
"It's much more comfortable to cry."
Dong Fangzhuo also sat down and patted him on the shoulder.
"I failed like that back then."
"I was 20 years old,"
"I was 25 years old in 2010, and I still failed."
"You're lucky because you're not 20 years old now, and in four years, you'll be less than 24 ......"
He didn't know how to comfort people, and he didn't know how to comfort people.
But it's better to comfort your opponent than to comfort your team......
'Have a good holiday, come back to Manchester United and we'll continue to win trophies together.'
As soon as he stood up, Dong Fangzhuo saw Deschamps, who was walking towards him with difficulty. Dong Fangzhuo stepped forward to support him in two steps, and the two hugged each other for a long time. When parting, Dong Fangzhuo patted Deschamps on the shoulder. It doesn't look like a rookie at all.
"In a country like France, we didn't win today, and I'm as sad as my country. But we still have to move on, and a lot of good teams are leaving early. ”
"But I'm not going to say anything bad about them because they've done a great job. But I still hope that in four years' time, you can sit quietly on the bench or in the dugout......"
Deschamps, who still won the championship, is calm, and he can still make a humorous joke with him, of course, it is estimated that he is only forced to laugh.
After seeing off Deschamps, Dong Fangzhuo finally joined the celebration team.
"We're still here,"
"But we're not there yet."
"We know what is really needed."
"Now, we're just one step away from the final!"
Under the noses of tens of thousands of fans, Dong Fangzhuo is still inspiring his teammates. But who can listen to it now? It's a time to enjoy victory......
The younger Deng Hanwen, Wang Gang, Feng Jin, and Wu Sanshi had already rushed to the stands and mingled with the fans. Even Wei Shihao, who has never been able to get the opportunity to play, is too happy to take pictures with his mobile phone.
This is a festival for all Chinese.
In fact, reaching the semi-finals is already more than enough, and it is not about winning the championship to be considered a successful World Cup journey. No matter what the final result is, there is no failure......
By this time, the failed Frenchman had been surrounded by a group of media reporters in the mixed zone, and despite his frustration, Deschamps was interviewed by the media.
Despite his disappointment, he was proud of his team's performance in the game and thanked the players, "I am sad that France did not reach the last eight. But I want to thank the fans who have accompanied us and supported us, and I want to thank my players, who gave their all like lions on the pitch. We left Russia with pride, and no one should blame us. ”
Deschamps admits that the Chinese team's strength and tactics are more dominant in the game: "The opponent is a great team, their players are experienced and better. They were all great on the offensive end today. At the same time, they defended tenaciously and it didn't keep us from finding the back of the net. But that's football, it's normal to win or lose, and that's the way we have to go. ”
'Pogba's unexpected end disrupted the re-deployment.
'Umtiti's penalty wasn't a turn, he was just saving.'
'Of course, Dembele was in a bit of a hurry, he could have avoided it all. He paid the price for his youth. Hopefully, this competition will make everyone grow. ”
"The Chinese are thanking them and saying that they are the heroes of the Chinese team, what do you think of this?"
“……”
Deschamps was naturally speechless.
Nima has become the hero of the Chinese team.
But how do I answer?
'It's not funny at all, they want to play well despite their mistakes.
"We shouldn't have mocked them like that."
……
But in Dong Fangzhuo's view, they are the heroes, and he said bluntly when he attended the press conference: "Obviously, the three of them played a tragic role." ”
"We couldn't win without them."
"In a high-level game like this, whoever makes more mistakes is going to lose."
'It's the only game we've not scored in 12 years, hehe......"
This sentence is probably very striking to the French.
"Dong, will you continue to lead the team to play in the semifinals?"
'For now, yes, Mr. Krauchen needs to rest but he should be watching from the stands.
"Do you want to meet Belgium or Brazil in the semi-finals?"
"I don't want to touch anybody, but I have to touch one of them. There is no team to play against. Belgium are more fluid in attack and Brazil are solid in central midfield, but it's harder than ever to get on the scoresheet. ”
'I said three years ago that football has changed, it's not the same as it used to be. Everybody has to do more, the striker is not just the striker, the defender is too, everybody can score goals and they can block goals. ”
"But, I still want to say that in terms of personal ability, it has regressed......"
Dong Fangzhuo threw out his theory again......
"If you win the championship, you will be the king of the ball, are you excited?"
"We don't know until we win the championship, and now we have to think about the semi-finals."
He was as calm as ever, and he never floated.
At this time, Belgium and Brazil were playing passionately and they played a fairly open game......
After the press conference, Dong Fangzhuo went back to the locker room, but happened to see that Brazil was behind Belgium.
"Will the opponent be Belgium?"
"Neymar is too uncompetitive."
For Neymar, Dong Fangzhuo has some hatred for iron and steel.
Year after year, has Neymar ever made the Brazilian people happy? It's not worth looking forward to at all......
