Speaking at the press conference after the game, Lippi commented on the game: "Thank you to the players for not giving up on the pitch, it was a difficult time when the goalkeeper was sent off, but the fighting spirit of every player on the pitch is commendable. It's just a draw, but after a game like this, the team's confidence will be boosted a lot. ”

However, the real focus of the Chinese and foreign media is the upcoming match against the German team.

Now the Chinese team is very optimistic about qualifying, one foot has stepped into the threshold of the top 16, and even losing has the possibility of qualifying, what is the attitude of the Chinese team in the face of the defending champion? This issue is of great concern to all.

Lippi replied: "It was a good experience for us and, of course, Germany is one of the best teams in the World Cup, both in the past and in the present. The gap between us and our opponents is significant, and against a team like that, we can lose 99 times out of 100 times. But! ”

Lippi deliberately accentuated his tone, paused, and continued: "Maybe the only victory will be in the next one!" You know, football is round. ”

The Chinese reporter was very impressed by these words, at least they sounded very uplifting, but many people smiled very carelessly, and a bearded German reporter raised his hand and stood up and asked: "Mr. Lippi, do you really think so?" But at present, in this group, it is the German team that is really locked in to qualify! ”

This German journalist has a full sense of superiority and really looks down on the Chinese team. The eyes of the Chinese reporters were all on him, frowning, and their eyes were hostile.

With the strength of the German team, it is normal not to pay attention to the group stage, but it is very unpleasant to play tricks and hit the opponent for fun.

After listening to the translation, Lippi's face sank for two minutes, and he was about to answer. Wen Zhihao whispered next to him, and then made eye contact, meaning that I will answer this question.

Wen Zhihao approached the microphone, looked at the bearded German reporter, and said, "Mr. reporter, let me answer your question." I've played most of the German players in the Champions League final and I feel like I still have a say. ”

When it came to the Champions League final, the expressions of all the reporters on the scene immediately became quite exciting. Bayern is a defeated man, Wen Zhihao is making it clear which pot is not opened, which pot will make people unhappy!

The bearded man's heart tightened, he didn't expect Wen Zhihao to dig a hole for the question he asked, but he couldn't stop it, otherwise in the eyes of hundreds of reporters in the audience, it would be a complete joke.

Wen Zhihao's face was still very calm, he glanced at the whole field, and said: "The German team is very strong, many players play for Bayern, but Bayern is also very strong, there are more teams that are optimistic about them before the Champions League final, and it is Atletico Madrid who wins in the end." I'll admit that we are nowhere near as famous and worth as much as Germany, but football has never been such a superficial sport. ”

The reporters immediately whispered, and next to the bearded reporter, another young German reporter asked: "Wen, I admit that you are very strong, we have no opinion on you saying this, but this game is a confrontation between two national teams, is this also the collective attitude of the Chinese team?" ”

Wen Zhihao raised his head, stared at the reporter, and said slowly: "I have no intention of fighting with everyone, you are all reporters, you rely on the pen and mouth to eat, I am not an opponent in this regard, but only action can decide everything, and many reporters here are probably also ideas, right?" It doesn't matter, this shows that the surprise brought by the Chinese team, or the surprise is not enough to spur, thank you for your spur, we will continue to work hard. ”

Coming out of the press conference hall, Lippi casually asked Wen Zhihao: "Zhihao, are you really so confident that we won't lose to the German team?" Is the Champions League final your confidence? ”

Wen Zhihao of course told Lippi what he really thinks: "No one can say for sure what will happen in the future, but self-confidence has power." As long as we dare to fight with our opponents, it is not without opportunities. The German players don't take us too seriously in their hearts, because they feel that we are World Cup rookies, no matter how high the outside world is, we are not equal to them. As long as they underestimate the enemy, we have a chance. As for the tactical level, it depends on whether the old man can make surprise moves. ”

Lippi looked at Wen Zhihao calmly: "Go on, if you are me, what can you do?" ”

Wen Zhihao pondered for a moment and replied: "The players who have two points in these two group stage performances will definitely be taken care of at that time. It's also very difficult to contain Germany tactically, because this team doesn't have any particular weaknesses, so we have to figure it out ourselves, play some players who haven't played much in the first two games, and take advantage of what the opponent doesn't know about them, and try to create some bright spots. Anyway, the chances are very small, and there may be surprises if you fight. ”

When Lippi heard Wen Zhihao's words, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

……

After the second round of the group stage, the Chinese team immediately set off for Kaliningrad to prepare for the final group game against the German team.

While the Chinese team is preparing intensively, all eight groups have finished two rounds of matches, and only Group D and Group E, which are relatively balanced, are relatively complicated. In Group D, Argentina is in first place with six points, Croatia and Iceland are tied with three points, and Argentina has a great hope of winning the group in the last round against Nigeria, who are at the bottom of the group.

Group E is the most complicated group, with Brazil standing out on four points from one win and one draw, while Switzerland and Costa Rica are tied on two points and Serbia with one. In the final round, Brazil faced Serbia and Switzerland faced Costa Rica, and all four teams had hopes of qualifying. The qualifying situation of Group E has also been highly concerned by the Chinese media, because it is related to the potential opponents of the Chinese team in the round of 16. From the bottom of my heart, everyone is reluctant for the Chinese team to meet Brazil, the top team in Group E, but if nothing else, this will become a fact. Unless Brazil lose in an upset to cede the top spot, or ...... The Chinese team created a shocking upset to defeat Germany.

With the exception of Group D and Group E, there were no big surprises in the other groups. Spain, Portugal, England, Belgium and Colombia are the favourites who have the initiative to qualify.

In addition, in addition to the Chinese team, another team with dark horse is Poland led by Lewandowski, which defeated Senegal 1:0 in the first two rounds, drew 1:1 with Colombia, and faced Japan in the final round.

And from the perspective of the situation of Asian teams, Japan, Iran, Australia and Saudi Arabia, which are highly expected by the Asian mainstream media, are not reliable. Although some countries don't want to admit it, they also secretly set their sights on the Chinese team.
