Chapter 209: Tears on the field

After the players of both sides finished playing, the next step was the national anthem performance ceremony.

The first thing to do is the national anthem of the Dragon Kingdom.

When the majestic national anthem sounded over the Luzhniki Stadium in a foreign country, the players of the Dragon Country on the field, the players on the bench on the sidelines, and all the Dragon Country fans in the stadium sang in unison along with the music, "Get up, don't want to be ......"

At this moment, an irrepressible emotion surged in my heart.

Including the Dragon Nation fans who are thousands of miles away, at this moment, they all feel the same way as the Dragon Nation players in the Luzhniki Stadium.

Why competitive sports have endured all over the world, this moment is the answer!

Why is football the number one sport in the world, this moment also gives the most powerful answer!

According to the results of a questionnaire survey conducted before the World Cup, four out of every ten respondents will identify themselves as fans – whether they are real fans, fake fans, or fake fans, they will not miss the opening game of the World Cup!

In other words, two-fifths of the more than 7 billion people in the world, or 2.8 billion people, tune in to watch the opening game of the World Cup!

Moreover, the actual number of people may be even more than this, because there are many people who are not fans in order to rub the hot spots of the World Cup, have topics to talk about with those fans and friends during the World Cup, and will also watch the World Cup games - the opening game and the final will not be missed!

Such a number of viewers is incomparable to any other sport or event!

As a comprehensive event, the Olympic Games have attracted a lot of attention all over the world, and the World Cup has become two major events in the sports circle, but the Olympic Games contain too many sports and are too mixed, and they can compete with the World Cup as a whole, but a single sport cannot be side by side with the World Cup.

The "Super Bowl" of the Football League, which the Americans call itself the "World War", is regarded as an event that can be compared to the World Cup final!

However, whether it is in terms of viewership, the number of fans, or the coverage of influence, the "Super Bowl" is actually far from the World Cup final!

The ratings of the "Super Bowl" are not even 40% in the United States, let alone in the world!

And the final of the World Cup, and now the upcoming opening match, in many countries and regions around the world, the ratings can reach 50%, or even higher!

For example, now, the opening match of the World Cup with the participation of the Dragon Country team has reached a record 20 percentage points in the national network ratings in the Dragon Country - the reason why it is so low is because the young people of the Dragon Country do not watch TV, but use mobile phones to watch the live broadcast of the game.

The real-time live broadcast data of Youdou Video shows that when the national anthem of the Dragon Kingdom is played, the number of viewers of the online live broadcast of this game has exceeded 100 million, and it is still increasing rapidly!

According to incomplete statistics after the game, there are nearly 400 million people in the Dragon Country, who watched the opening match between the Dragon Country team and the host Russian team!

There are now 1.3 billion people in the Dragon Kingdom, excluding the population over 60 years old and under 12 years old, even if there are 900 million people, and half of the women, that is to say, almost all the male population of the Dragon Kingdom of school age have watched this game!

Of course, this statistic is not accurate, because there are also a large number of women who also watch this game for the purpose of really loving football, or simply to watch Shen Feng, or for their boyfriends, and for other reasons!

Therefore, when the national anthem of the Dragon Kingdom was played in the Luzhniki Stadium, the sound of music actually spread through the radio waves throughout the north and south of the Dragon Country, and the south of the Yangtze River!

Hundreds of millions of people in the Dragon Country, at this moment, can really be described as "breathing and sharing fate", heart to heart!

Shen Feng seemed to feel the heavy power of hundreds of millions of Chinese people, and his heartbeat, which had been steady, suddenly soared at this moment; The originally calm emotions have also become agitated at this moment, and the direct manifestation is tears, which are irrepressibly rolling down from the eye sockets!

North Korean team player Chung Dae-se, at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, represented the North Korean team on the World Cup stage, and when the North Korean national anthem was played, he couldn't help but burst into tears, which touched many people.

However, some people maliciously speculated that Zheng Dashi's tears were just a self-directed and self-acted scene.

Before Shen Feng, he was very dissatisfied with Zheng Dashi's emotions fluctuating so much on such an important occasion and before such an important game, because in his opinion, such violent fluctuations in emotions would definitely affect his state, thereby limiting his performance in the game.

Zheng Dashi's North Korean team was indeed in that World Cup, scoring only one goal in three games in the group stage, but conceding as many as 12 goals, ranking last in the comprehensive ranking of 32 teams in that World Cup!

Shen Feng thinks that with his own psychological quality, he will definitely not have an unprofessional performance like Zheng Dashi!

However, at this moment, in the impassioned music of the national anthem of the Dragon Kingdom, the tears were flowing uncontrollably and irrepressibly without him being conscious!

Despite this, Shen Feng still believes that the Dragon Country team to which he belongs will never repeat the fate of Zheng Dashi's North Korean team in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa in this World Cup!

Shen Feng has confidence in himself and the Dragon Country team!

At this moment, not only Shen Feng was alone, he couldn't help but burst into tears, his teammates, and many people, like him, burst into tears on the spot in the national anthem.

He Wei and Xu Yang, the on-site commentators of the National Television Sports Channel, also choked up when the national anthem of the Dragon Kingdom was played and continued to comment, obviously the mood also fluctuated violently when the national anthem of the Dragon Kingdom was played.

When the Russian national anthem was also played, and He Wei and Xu Yang could resume their commentary work, although their voices had calmed down and returned to normal, their tones were still full of sighs.

He Wei said, "We have been waiting for the national anthem to be played again in the World Cup, and we have been waiting for 16 years!" Sixteen years, there are only three words to say, which is simple, but for Dragon Country football and Dragon Country fans, it is a full 5,840 days and nights! ”

"Even if the life expectancy of people is greatly improved compared to before, how many sixteen years can there be in a lifetime?"

"Here, I really hope that the boys of the Dragon Country Team will fight hard and work hard, so that our national anthem can be played in the World Cup in a row, and don't let us wait for the next 16 years!"
