Finally, it's 2018.

In this special year, Dong Fangzhuo's mood has been a little nostalgic recently, and he has been alive for another 14 years. That's the year I came here, and then I started football birthday again.

At the age of 33 and a half, he has completely entered the end of his career, and he has no memory of everything after that......

Who won the 2018 World Cup in Russia? He didn't know, and the years that followed were even less clear.

But, does it matter?

History has already been changed by him, the 2014 World Cup was won by the Chinese team, what is the use of remembering the past? Let's keep looking! This summer, can you lead the Chinese team to stand on the top of football again?

"Captain,"

At this time, someone called him at the door.

"It's time to go down and eat."

It was Wu Sanshi who was calling him.

"Well, got it, you guys go down first!"

"I'll be here in a moment."

Dong Fangzhuo got up from the bed neatly, then tidied up his clothes, and at the same time cleaned up his mood.

Zheng Zhi had officially handed over the captain's armband to him two years ago, and he is now the captain of the Chinese national team! And Zheng Zhi did not retire, and followed Crowchen as a player and assistant coach.

Speaking of Crowchen, Crawford is also very old this year, from 2005 to 2018, he has been in the Chinese team for 15 years, and it seems that at the national team level, no manager can stay in the coach position for so long, except for the Paraguayan coach who can barely compare with him.

77 years old! This has created a myth.

In fact, as early as four years ago, Crowchen had the idea of retiring, but the leaders, players and fans kept him, although he is 77 years old, Crowchen's body is still very strong, not like this age at all.

Many media have a two-sided evaluation of Krauchen, some media believe that the reason why Krauchen has become a legend is because he has Dong Fangzhuo in his hands, so he can win the World Cup, and some media say that Krauchen has raised Dong Fangzhuo's combat effectiveness to the realm of the king of the ball, and there would be no Dong Fangzhuo without Krauchen.

Dong Fangzhuo just smiled, he felt that the two of them complemented each other and achieved each other.

He is most grateful to have a coach in his life, one is Alex Ferguson and the other is Crowchen, both of whom have been with him for more than ten years, and he feels that no other player is more fortunate than him.

Slowly walked to the door of the restaurant, all the teammates had arrived, many people were greeting him, his status in the team was unmatched, even the old captain Zheng Zhi could not reach it, let alone others.

He and Zheng Zhi sat together, and the two of them were surrounded by Zhao Xuri, Huang Bowen, Feng Xiaoting, the oldest generation of international players, and other young people such as Zhang Linpeng and Wu Sanshi could only sit at the other table......

"Xiao Dong,"

"Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Only Zheng Zhi can call Dong Fangzhuo 'Xiao Dong'......

"yes, I'm old, haha, the quality of sleep is not as good as before, it's a strange thing."

"Just fall asleep a little more, I used to be ten o'clock, now I go to bed at eight o'clock, and then I get up at five o'clock, I don't know how refreshing it is." Zheng Zhi is a person from the past, and these suggestions must be very pertinent.

"Uh-huh, I'll try it tonight. It seems that it is time to change the habits of life. ”

His habits have always been very regular, but the years are not forgiving, and many things have been changing slightly, but he doesn't know it.

Then Zheng Zhi put it on Dong Fangzhuo's ear and said a word.

"When you're 35, you know. It's so special, even XXOO feels very different. ”

"......" Dong Fangzhuo smiled wryly.

At this time, the big TV screen in the canteen was lit up, and the coverage of the World Cup about Russia began. Most of the Chinese internationals still understand English......

※※※※

The quadrennial football feast, the World Cup, will officially kick off in Russia on the 14th Beijing time. Whether you know the football emperor or a pseudo-fan, whether you are a die-hard fan or a football novice, and whether you want to see the doorway, or look at your face...... They are all looking forward to the opening whistle of the World Cup in Russia.

In the 2018 World Cup, several old powerhouses such as the Netherlands and Italy were kept out, but this is what is very interesting about this World Cup. Brazil are looking to bounce back from their 2014 slump form, while Germany, Argentina and France are looking to get revenge on defending champions China and other arch-rivals.

Can Belgium be an instant hit? What will be the challenge for England?

And Dong Fangzhuo, who has entered the twilight of his career, can lead the Chinese team to successfully defend the World Cup? Can Cristiano Ronaldo, who led Portugal to stabilize the European Championship in 2016, challenge the World Cup success, and whether Messi, who has won the Copa America twice in a row, can hit the World Cup at the age of 28?

All of this is presented in the quadrennial World Cup......

The grouping of this World Cup is still very balanced, but the only group of death appeared on the Chinese team, of course, it is inseparable from his good brother Ronaldo.

Because they are in Group B together......

Group A: Russia, Iran, Egypt, Uruguay

Group B: China, Portugal, Spain, Morocco

Group C: France, Australia, Peru, Denmark

Group D: Argentina, Iceland, Croatia, Nigeria

Group E: Brazil, Switzerland, Costa Rica, Serbia

Group F: Germany, Mexico, Sweden, South Korea

Group G: Belgium, Panama, Tunisia, England

Group H: Poland, Senegal, Colombia, Japan

Breaking out of Group B would mean finishing second in at least one of them, but only two teams from Portugal, Spain, China and Morocco in Africa will qualify.

Dong Fangzhuo doesn't want to get out, and neither does Ronaldo, only the two teams work together to qualify is a win-win situation, but in this case, they have to beat Spain......

Spain is not a rookie! Ask them if they can say yes? The 2010 World Cup winner in South Africa was depressed enough in 2014, and the 2018 group will not qualify? They're going to go crazy.

It's almost a dead end, and maybe one of them will be eliminated at the end of the group stage.

When the World Cup draw was made at the beginning of the year, Ronaldo and Dong Fangzhuo realized that they might only survive one ...... in the World Cup

Under the latest World Cup winning odds, the Chinese team has slipped to 10th place, one place lower than Portugal. Compared with the Chinese team four years ago, the strength of the current Chinese team has indeed declined, and the main players at that time were all over 30 years old, and a group of guys in their thirties won the World Cup? There is no national team in world football that has ever done it......
