There is nothing more important on this day than the World Cup.

The Chinese team finally qualified from Group A of the Asian Qualifiers ahead of schedule as the group winner, which is the first time in so many years.

As soon as the game ended, the stadium was filled with fans, and everyone was celebrating the victory and entering the World Cup. Next year, Chinese fans will be able to go to Russia to watch their national team's performances

This is the dream of generations of Chinese fans, and it is also the dream of generations of Chinese players.

Many people are crying, it is normal for fans to cry, but the players are also crying, especially the old captain Zheng Zhi, he has been waiting for this day for a long time, it is really not easy, from young and frivolous, to middle-aged!

From entering the national Olympic team in '99, entering the national team in 01, failing to be selected for the national team in 02, and now in the fall of 2017, he spent fifteen years waiting.

When he was about to turn 37, he thought that his dream was shattered and that he would never be able to play a World Cup as a player in his life.

Just half a year ago, when the Chinese team only got a point after four rounds, he felt that there was no hope.

If it weren't for Wang Dalong's birth, he believed that he would definitely not have this happiness today, and he would not have gone to Russia.

This old man cried a little unscrupulously, and he was crying, not just tears. A player who pursues the dream of the World Cup, when he reaches that goal, you can't understand what he feels in his heart.

"What are you crying about, it's just qualifying for the World Cup!" Wang Dalong also wiped Zheng Zhi's tears, as if Wang Dalong was the eldest brother and Zheng Zhi was just a child.

Zheng Zhi cried louder at this comfort......

Forehead! Okay, then you can continue, Wang Dalong patted Zheng Zhi lightly on the back.

Wang Dalong can't experience this kind of taste, the football experience of the two is completely different.

Even Wei Shihao couldn't understand Zheng Zhi's feeling at the moment. Because Wei Shihao and they were so lucky, they reached the World Cup for the first time on behalf of the national team. But Zheng Zhi took a full fifteen years.

His entire football youth grew old and disappeared with the World Cup.

Of course, everyone was excited and proud.

Zheng Zhi hugged everyone as soon as he got after the game. When facing Wang Dalong, he aged Wang Dalong very tightly. With tears in his eyes, he choked up and said to Wang Dalong: "Thank you! It made my wish to go to the World Cup come true. ”

Then, in unison. It just so happened that the cheers for Wang Dalong were also remembered on the court. "Thank you, Wang Dalong, thank you for taking us to Russia!"

The dugout was just as excited, and at the end of the game, Lippi knew what a great thing he had accomplished. I especially brought the Chinese team into the World Cup, the second person besides Milu, I did it!

However, this is just the beginning. The World Cup is just the beginning.

Before Lippi took over the Chinese team, many people felt that his reputation was ruined. Because the Chinese team is not saved, even if he comes, it is useless. However, instead of making this possibility a reality, he added a strong touch to his career. Such success was more precious than any previous experience.

Leading Italy to the 2006 World Cup was his peak, and at this moment, leading the Chinese team to the 2018 World Cup finals in Russia is not his peak?

Those players who experienced the 2002 World Cup are also many years younger at the moment, and seeing the scene of everyone celebrating wildly on the field, Li Tie thought that he was back in the autumn of 2002. They were so happy, so happy.

It's just that all this obtained today seems to be even more hard-won. In 2002, they were very strong, and the Chinese team in these years was very weak, so weak that even they did not believe that the Chinese team could still enter the World Cup. The more impossible it is, the more I feel that success is not easy to come by.

Although he only rushed to the World Cup stage again with the Chinese team as a coach, Li Tie felt that there was a difference from last time. He's still an important part of the team, if not as a player, but as a coach.

Even Wang Dalong was able to appear in the national team so quickly, and he also had a lot of credit. When Wang Dalong was summoned to the national team at that time, it was he who personally went to summon Wang Dalong.

It was also he who overcame public opinion and gave Lippi a strong voice of recommendation.

※※※※

The Chinese team became the 21st national team to successfully break through. With one round left in the competition, they have already qualified early.

The next opponent for them is Qatar, away from Qatar, and it doesn't matter if they win or lose.

It's a very eye-catching thing for the other teams. South Korea, Iran and Uzbekistan will all continue to struggle for qualification, but China has already gone to the World Cup ahead of schedule.

I don't know when, Wang Dalong's body has been draped with a bright five-star red flag, and he was held high in the crowd of fans. The audience was shouting his name, which seemed to be something that was already something that was taken for granted, at least Wang Lung had experienced it many times.

Even the officials of the Football Association ran to the field to celebrate. At that moment, regardless of position, regardless of industry, just cheering for football, cheering for the World Cup.

Everyone couldn't wait, started the celebration banquet in advance, and even forgot about the Qatar game. Of course, the celebration was just a simple spill of champagne in the dressing room, not really about anything. Lippi also lit a cigar to smoke, this old guy actually quit smoking very early, and it is rare to quit today on such a festive day.

Then, Wang Dalong did not go with the team to the away game against Qatar, but chose to return to Europe.

Qatar is the bottom team and has been eliminated, and there is no need for Wang Dalong to travel with the team at all.

It is better to leave precious rest time and return to Italy early. Because there's another equally important game for him to face.

In the 2017-2018 Europa League, away against Cologne in the Bundesliga. Although the strength of the Cologne team is not good, this is Parma's first Europa League after more than ten years, the predecessor of the UEFA Cup.

On the football news the next day, the Chinese team finally became the protagonist once, and Wang Dalong became the protagonist of the protagonist.

On the official website of the AFC, it is stated that under the leadership of Wang Dalong, the Chinese team finally came to the stage of the World Cup again after 15 years, and they became the 21st team to successfully break through.

Naturally, there is no need to say much about China's domestic media reports. Under the publicity of the domestic media, Wang Dalong has become the god of football in China. It only took him more than ten months to establish his position in the national team and the history of Chinese football.

Those players who have spent ten or even twenty years trying to lay their own foot in the national team are not as useful as Wang Dalong's year, Wang Dalong is the savior of Chinese football, which is not an exaggeration.

Such a stylish performance has also been reported by the German media.

Following last week's overbearing of Wang Dalong, the German newspaper Bild also published the excellent performance of Wang Dalong and the Chinese team, and made a considerable prediction for the match between Parma and Cologne.

"Compared with the German team to go to Russia as a whole, the Chinese team relies more on Wang Dalong to move forward, a guy who can carry Parma and the Chinese team forward at the same time, but even Messi has not been able to do it, Wang Dalong continued his amazing performance, and used the opportunity of long-range shooting in the game to score a brace, bringing the Chinese team into the World Cup, such a guy appeared in Cologne? Cologne are a bit of a bad luck team and they will have to study their tactics against Parma and have a week to make adjustments. ”

"Now Wang Dalong is temporarily unsolvable, and if you want to restrict him, it is best to start by restricting his teammates. He's a tiger himself, so he can't be like a tiger, right? ”

Anyway, before Parma's army set off, the German side was lively, and the local Cologne fans paid a lot of attention to the game and gave advice to the team.

"Normally, a team with only one core is the right way to deal with that core and then they collapse. Of course, to deal with Wang Dalong, it is best to use the way of two people to wrap up, so that he can't get the ball, as for the other players, what should be done. Parma's right side is basically not strong, and Couas on the left is a threat, as long as Couas can't fly, Lincoln in the middle will not do anything. ”

"That being said, but is his previous win in Italy fake? Can't look at Wang Dalong with normal eyes, this guy reminds me of the bomber Muller decades ago! A super goal machine, and, moreover, he seems to be able to do a lot more than Muller. ”

Muller is a pure shooter, Wang Dalong is also responsible for organizing attacks and scoring goals, and none of them have fallen, of course, Wang Dalong is even more awesome.

Of course, the Muller that the fans are talking about is not the Muller in the current Bayern Munich team, but the ancient god Gade who was born in 1945? Muller, who has scored 14 goals in 13 games in two World Cups, held the World Cup total goal record for 32 years, and it was not until the new century that it was surpassed by two outstanding juniors, namely Ronaldo and Klos.

His goal tally and efficiency are unrivalled and remain the ultimate goal for all strikers to this day. It wasn't until 2012 that Messi broke his annual goal record with 91 goals.

Wang Dalong was compared with an ancient god, are Cologne fans thinking a little too much, and it is not too late to discuss it when Wang Dalong scores seventy or eighty goals first.

The Cologne team actually has a rich history, winning three league championships, seven runners-up, and many stars, the most famous is the Cologne prince Podolski, but unfortunately, he is no longer in the Cologne team.

Now, Cologne fans especially miss Podolski, and if Podolski is there, maybe against Parma, it seems more certain?

※※※※

That weekend, the Chinese team finally defeated Qatar 1:0 in Qatar, and the battle of honor in Qatar did not stop the Chinese team.

In the absence of Wang Dalong, the Chinese team still won the unarmed Qatar, which made the fans happy again, Qatar is a difficult bone to gnaw after all, and being able to win them shows that the Chinese team is still playing well.

The Qataris said after the game that they will take revenge in the U23 Asian Cup!

Of course, in Wei Shihao's view, this sentence is simply a joke, U23 Asian Cup, the Chinese team is fighting at home, are you still afraid of you?

In the other matches in the group, Iran drew with Syria and Uzbekistan drew with South Korea.

In the end, China still finished first in the group, Iran ranked second, Uzbekistan was eliminated, and South Korea could also go to the third place in the group to face the third place B. Anyway, the Korean team hasn't been so painful for many years.

Obviously, before the start of the qualifiers, they predicted that they and the Iranian team would join hands to qualify, and they didn't take the Chinese team into account at all, but they didn't expect that they would end up running around and getting tired.

This time, it was finally the turn of Chinese fans to laugh at the South Korean team.

The Asian region has four direct places to the World Cup, with China, Iran, Japan and Saudi Arabia heading straight to the World Cup, while South Korea will have to compete with Australia, and the winner will go on to the play-offs.

Of course, it's not just the South Korean team that is depressed, such as the Italian team.

In Parma's team, except for Bonucci and Wang Dalong, other players are temporarily not eligible to represent the senior team in the World Cup qualifiers, so Parma's physical reserves are still very good.

It's just that after Bonucci came back, he was a little unhappy and kept sullen during training.

Because Italy's World Cup qualification situation is in jeopardy, it seems that they will be squeezed into the second place in the group to participate in the play-off qualification?

Wang Dalong watched the live broadcast of the penultimate round of Italy, and they actually drew 1:1 with Macedonia at home! It's really going to send yourself to the fire pit. And it was Bonucci's old partner Chiellini who scored the goal, where did the Italian strikers go?

Without this draw, Italy could have taken their fate into their own hands, but now they will have to consider the second-place opponents in the group even if they win the final round.

When he practiced with Wang Dalong, Bonucci was always absent-minded and had no energy.

"Leonardo, why are you staring at me all the time? Do you just want to defend me with your eyes? ”

"I'm still thinking about the World Cup."

"I'm wondering, where have all the Italian strikers gone?"

"Huh!"

"If Italy had a striker like you, would Italy still finish second in the group? I really don't understand why the strikers can't score. ”

Yes, if Italy had a striker like Wang Dalong, it would indeed not worry about scoring goals, and it would not rely on Chiellini to score goals. However, it is a very cruel fact that Italy has withered in talent over the years, and there has been no good striker in these years, even the Pelle who plays in Luneng in the Chinese Super League can become Italy's leading striker......

"Leonardo, you can think about it, Italy will not have a striker as good as me, you should learn from Chiellini, as a defender, to try to score more goals, to play in the play-offs is not the end of the world, at least there is still a chance. We're going to have to focus on Cologne now, you can't defend me with your eyes anymore. ”

"If you're still not happy, you can think about the Netherlands, they don't even qualify for the play-offs, and even if there is one round left, they can't close the gap of seven goal difference."

To say miserable, it is indeed the worst of the Dutch team, even if there is still one round of games, but the Dutch team only has a theoretical hope of second place in the group, if they want to get second in the group, they must be in a direct confrontation with Sweden, not only to kill Sweden, but also to get a full seven goal difference, which is simply impossible.

Italy is better, as long as they win, they are still second in the group, but they have to go to the play-offs, and the Netherlands does not even have a chance to go to the play-offs.

Bonucci is a defender after all, if he is an Italian striker? He might have thought more, but it wasn't something he could do alone......

In the end, he can only accept the current situation of the national team, and it is not surprising if there is no Italy at next year's World Cup in Russia...... At least, the Netherlands won't be there.

Of course, maybe Argentina, Chile, Uruguay and so on. In this turbulent qualifier, either team may not be able to catch the last train of the World Cup.

※※※※

The atmosphere of German football is indeed much better than that of Italy, and leaving Parma and coming to Cologne on the Rhine makes Wang Dalong feel that playing in Germany seems to be more interesting than in Italy.

As soon as he arrived in Cologne, Wang Dalong was welcomed by the local fans, to be precise, by the local Chinese students.

After all, there is a prestigious university, the University of Cologne, and there are many Chinese students here.

When the team bus stayed at the hotel, Wang Dalong tossed for almost half an hour before leaving the crowd of Chinese fans. He feels that no matter where he goes, he can meet Chinese fans, and it is amazing that Chinese people are all over the world.

At the pre-match press conference, Wang Dalong accompanied Crespo to attend, and Crespo instantly became a foil.

'In the first game of the Europa League, did you have any plans for your goals? A correspondent from the German newspaper Bild asked.

"Yes, goals."

"How many?"

'The more the merrier, and as a striker my goal is to score goals.'

His answer was quite straightforward. The responsibility of a striker is to score goals and score more goals.

"Did you realize that you are number one in the European Golden Boot list?"

"Four goals to be number one?" Wang Dalong didn't expect that he could climb to the first position after scoring four in the league.

"It's just the first round of the league, four is a lot."

"Oh, that's good, hopefully after the weekend, I can stay in this position......"
