2012 is a leap year.

So February has the 29th.

On this day, Chinese captain Long Shute appeared at the Guangzhou University Town Stadium, 9,000 kilometers away from Munich.

Nearly 50,000 fans packed the stadium.

On Tuesday afternoon, many young students skipped their boring, lethargic college classes and chose to come to the stadium to cheer on the Chinese team.

This is the final round of the 2014 World Preliminary Top 20 Tournament, and the Chinese team must win to hope advancing to the next round of the top 10.

Due to the first three rounds of the group stage, for various reasons, the national team did not recruit Long Shute, so the Chinese team won three wins and two losses in the five rounds of the group stage, and only scored 9 points.

Their final opponent is Jordan, who have 12 points from five games, four wins and one loss, and are temporarily top of this group.

The other team that also has a chance of qualifying is Iraq, who are tied with China on nine points.

The relationship between Iraq and China is exactly the same, but the Chinese team swiped 21 goals in the last round against Singapore, which put the Iraqi team under a lot of pressure, and they had to mobilize all the elite in the country in Singapore, ready to start the crazy slaughter mode on this away game......

The final qualification spot is at stake, so the two matches of this round of the group stage are played at the same time.

China is at home against Jordan, who had beaten them 2-1.

And the Iraqi team is ready to wash the opponent in blood at the home stadium of Singapore.

-

Is Jordan strong?

They have lost just one of their five group stage games to Iraq and have been leading the four-team race.

But even on their own home turf, Jordan only beat China 2-1.

Now that they have changed to the home stadium of the Chinese team, they have almost locked the qualifying places, will they fight with the Chinese team with the soul core again?

Of course not.

Anyway, the outcome of this game has no effect on them, even if they lose a few goals to China, they can still retain their place in the qualification - unless the other game of Iraq can erase the difference of up to 15 goals between them.

In that case...... Why should we find our own guilt?

"Drip, drip...... Drip! ”

The referee from Indonesia blew the final whistle.

And Guangzhou University Town Stadium has already become a sea of carnival.

As far as the eye can see, the whole stadium is an incomparably bright red national flag, and it is full of ears and ears that are full of loud singing voices of "singing the motherland".

"It's over!"

Liu Jianhong, who was sitting in the live media box for the live commentary, broadcast the results to all Chinese fans who followed the game:

“8-1！ The Chinese team ended the journey of the top 20 with a hearty victory! ”

He didn't do it like the fans in the stands, but he still maintained a calm voice:

"In the other game at the same time, Iraq had three minutes of stoppage time in the last three minutes, they scored eight goals at home in Singapore, and China's advantage is not safe, so we can't be happy too ......soon."

Then his words changed, and the style of painting suddenly changed greatly:

"If Iraq scores another 23 goals, then the goal difference advantage of the Chinese team will no longer exist, which is definitely something that all fans do not want to see."

Zhang Lu, the guest sitting next to him, didn't say anything for a long time, and it wasn't until Liu Jianhong finished speaking that he coughed:

"Hey, hey, then...... Time is running out for Iraq. ”

Liu Jianhong was stunned for a moment, and then slapped his thigh.

This old guy ...... How can you steal my lines?!

-

The score of 8-1 finally allowed the Chinese team to advance to the next round of the top 10, and also surpassed the Jordan team to rise to the top of the group because of the huge goal difference.

Iraq scored two late goals, 10-0 and eight wins over Jordan by China, just enough to put them second in the group on goal difference......

The Jordanian team, which led the first five rounds, capsized in the last round of gutter!

The previous goal difference of 15 with Iraq came to naught in one game!

But...... Who is to blame for this?

It's all because they didn't give their best when they played against Singapore!

A 2-0, a 3-0, a look of no desire......

If they had scored two big scores in a row at that time, how could there be such a reversal in the last round?!

-

"The game in Iraq is finally over! Congratulations to Iraq! Congratulations to the Chinese team! Together, they advance to the final 10! The Jordanian team paid a terrible price for their carelessness! They were squeezed out of the top 10 in the last two minutes! ”

When the results of the other game were sent to the commentary room, Liu Jianhong only had time to roar, and his entire throat was hoarse by the impact of the explosive force:

"The last time the Chinese team advanced to the top 10 was back in 2001, and in the following 11 years, the Chinese team all fell on the periphery of the top 20. At this moment, in the stands of this stadium, we can clearly hear the singing and cheering of the whole stadium, which is for our hero, who is leading his teammates to thank the fans......"

-

Long Shute, who completed three goals and two passes in the game, didn't even pay attention to who took off his jersey.

He was shirtless and led the whole team around the stadium to express his gratitude to all the fans who came to the scene to cheer for the team.

Every time he went to the grandstands, the fans in the stands would respond to him with a roar of mountains and tsunamis, and the three words "Longshute" made the whole stadium tremble.

After they finished walking a circle, countless fans finally broke through the siege of the on-site security, poured into the field like a flood, surrounded the soldiers of the national football team, and then threw the Chinese captain high into the air!

Flying in the sky, Long Shute suddenly couldn't help but think:

In case none of these fans catch it and throw themselves into a high paraplegia, I don't know if the system can cure it?

As soon as he had the idea, a shrill electronic synthesized voice sounded in his head:

"I'm sorry, but this system has no healing function, and even the most basic colds, fevers, and runny noses can't be cured, so please don't kill yourself."

So, Captain Long, who was greedy for life and afraid of death, hurriedly signaled the enthusiastic fans to put himself down.

It's just that the enthusiasm of the fans is so easy to extinguish by him, in order to prevent himself from being thrown into the air again, he had to find another way, found the person in charge of the stadium through the team leader, and then brought himself two wireless microphones.

"Hey, hey, hello everyone, I'm the Chinese captain Long Shute, I have something to say, please be quiet for a while."

Ronshit's voice leans towards a calm type, a little hoarse as it has just finished the game, but with the help of the live speakers, it still reverberates clearly in every corner of the stadium.

He said it three times in a row before the noisy atmosphere was suppressed.

"Very good, please point the camera at me and connect it to the big electronic screen, thank you."

As Mr. Golden Globe's request, how could he not have this privilege in China?

What's more, this is a major game broadcast live in the country, as long as Long Shute has not left the field, CCTV and various media will have been tracking and reporting, this is the biggest publicity for the stadium, plus the General Administration of Sports, football associations at all levels, and many provincial and municipal leaders are on the scene, the efficiency of the stadium staff is even more urged to the extreme, almost Long Shute just spoke, and his figure appeared on the big screen above the stands.

When they saw the smiling Chinese captain, the fans broke out into warm cheers again, and the huge red flag fluttered in the wind in the stands and on the field.

"Although the game is over, the Chinese captain Long Shute has stepped onto the rostrum, it seems that he wants to make a short speech, right?"

Liu Jianhong said a few words of nonsense because he didn't know what to say.

That's right, Long Shute took the podium.

In such a critical decisive battle, the rostrum will always be filled with leaders, at least at the department and bureau level (that is, city level leaders).

And so he walked up.

On the rostrum, he saw several faces that he had dealt with, including the chairman surnamed Cai, Director Wei, who had just been promoted to vice chairman, and those chiefs who looked like local officials.

No matter what the level of these people is, how they usually command their subordinates, at least at this moment, their faces are all amiable smiles, and they look at Long Shute like a kind elder.

"Thank you leaders for coming to the scene in their busy schedules, Chinese football can achieve today's results, and your support is inseparable."

Long Shute also said a word of nonsense, and then turned around.

Of course, he can't get the chairmen and mayors to give up their seats to him, even if he is already the king of the ball.

So he stood in front of the rostrum, facing tens of thousands of fans, and officially began his speech.

"I hope you don't get too happy today because we've only just qualified for the Top 10 and there's still a long way to go."

His first words made many people's hearts sink, and the smile seemed to freeze on their faces.

What does that mean?

Does that mean...... We can't make it to the final round?

Even if you have a superstar who defy the sky, there is no hope?

The grouping situation has not come out, and now it is abandoned in advance?

How can there be a captain who surrenders without a fight?

What kind of bullshit captain is this?!

Then this bullshit captain continued:

"I hope that you will be able to keep the joy of today deep in your hearts and bring it back to you next June.

At that time, all the matches of the top 10 will be over, and all the fans will usher in greater joy, because the Chinese team will definitely be one of the 32 teams to go to Brazil! ”

The fans looked up at him, and the expressions on their faces didn't have time to change.

I saw that the dragon captain raised his right hand and clenched it into a fist against the evening breeze:

"Please rest assured, please rest assured that the motherland and the people will do what I say!"
