Section 395 Finals

Before the game was over, it was shouted that the Chinese team had won. And the opponent he faced was Oman, but he was excited because the Iranian team lost to the Japanese team. The Chinese commentator's commentary in this match can be said to be extremely unprofessional, he has not respected his opponent, and he seems to be paying too much attention to the other game. However, when he shouted this sentence, almost no one in the national media accused him. On the contrary, after the game, the big and small media used this sentence as their news headline.

The Chinese team won, not only in the 2-1 victory against Oman, but also in the final comeback against Iran.

As the commentators on the Chinese side had predicted, the Iranians lost the game unsurprisingly. Originally, the strength was not superior, and after being the first to score, the red card and penalty were added, in this case, no matter how against the sky, the Iranian team could not escape defeat. In the match with Japan, they ended up playing 0-3, which also made them finally in the group, with a difference of 1 point, reversed by the Chinese team and eliminated miserably.

This incident immediately became the biggest upset news in Asian football this year. It is unbelievable that the Chinese team was able to score more points than the Iranian team in the group. The Iranian team was still in the lead until the start of the final round, purely in terms of strength, they were definitely above China, but they were unlucky, making them the final losers.

A difference of one point, and the reputation of the two teams is very different. Although the winning Chinese team was killed by Iran in both legs, it successfully got the key to victory by relying on its stable strength. And the Iranians who lost. Even if they were stronger, they had to accept that they needed to play in the play-offs. Compete with South American teams for the opportunity to go to Brazil.

Anyone knows how to play with a South American team. How unlikely is it that Asian teams will win? The Iranian team is now eliminated from the World Cup ahead of schedule. They may have been strong, but because of an irrational foul in their own game, they lost this precious spot.

Of course, the Iranians themselves may not think so. At least after the game, they lashed out at the referee again. In the Iranian's opinion, after the previous game was too biased, the referee was once again in power. This time, he didn't even want a fig leaf, and directly announced Iran's death penalty with a red card and a penalty, which is a 100% black whistle in the eyes of Iranians.

"We absolutely can't accept this result, we are the better team, the Chinese team has no strength in front of us, they beat us to play the World Cup, it is a complete joke."

Iranian football officials gave their opinion immediately after the match. His attitude was quite resolute. It's even a bit out of his mind. It is difficult for anyone in the football world to accept that his national team has been treated like this, and his indignant momentum has the momentum to bring the lawsuit to FIFA.

But. His approach was just a joke, and everyone knows that FIFA itself is not a good thing. And if the rumors are true, maybe they were behind the manipulation of the game. And they will never sacrifice the reputation of such an important tournament as the World Cup to avenge a national team. This one. Now that the game is over, it's really over. No matter how much the Iranians make trouble, they can only accept this result.

There is no way to do this kind of unjust case. Just like in another group, South Korea eliminated Uzbekistan with the same score in the final round by virtue of goal difference, which also looks fake. But that's how it turned out, and it's useless to doubt it.

Not to mention Iran's suspicions, before that, the British media reported that there was a match-fixing problem in the Asian region of the World Preliminaries, but Zhang Jilong, who was the acting chairman of the AFC at the time, directly rejected it with a sentence of 'no direct evidence'.

Sometimes, there will always be some teams that will be taken care of, but this time it is not Japan and South Korea that are taken care of but China, which makes the media feel novel: after all, in previous games, the Chinese team was cheated a lot of times, and there were not many times when they were lucky, and there was absolutely no promotion by relying on the opponent to be knocked down by the referee. It is precisely because of this that after the game, the media, who were a little dizzy by the sudden happiness, also had different opinions about this result for a while, and some people even interviewed the coach of the Chinese team and wanted to hear his opinion.

'I don't comment on the other game, I didn't watch the game, but I'm sure the referee will be fair. I was also surprised by the defeat of Iran, but anything can happen in football. Moreover, even if you take a step back, misjudgment is also part of the game, and the Chinese team has not suffered a misjudgment, and this kind of thing will happen to anyone. ”

Although the media asked, Coach Gao's answer was quite tactful. I didn't watch the game, I believe that the referee is fair, and no one can fault these words. A person did not watch the game, on what basis does he comment? No one can accuse him of being wrong to remain silent.

And the official reasons he said are not wrong, indeed, misjudgments are also part of the game, and the Football Federation has always said so. The Chinese team has also been misjudged before, in the 04 Asian Cup final, China's handball against the Japanese team at home was counted as a goal, at that time, why didn't anyone think of pursuing the game was a misjudgment?

There will always be miscalculations, always chasing whose conspiracy it is, that's not what the team should do. Compared to those, the team has more things to care about.

"For our promotion, I think what we should see more is our perseverance. Even when we were four points away from Iran, we persevered and didn't give up, which was the most fundamental reason for our victory. ”

Perhaps dissatisfied with the media's attention, Coach Gao also emphasized his own views when talking about this issue. He specifically pointed out that what the media should pay more attention to now is not how their team wins, but how their team wins.

The Chinese team finally won, and the victory itself is more important than the reason for the victory.

In any case, it was the Chinese team that won in the end, and it will definitely be the Chinese team and not other teams that will go to Brazil next year.

His words have attracted a lot of attention. After all, his identity is very different now. Since the Chinese team qualified for the World Cup, Coach Gao's identity has been different immediately. Before that, he was considered the longest-serving interim coach of the Chinese team, and many people were looking forward to Lippi's succession every day, or to hire a world-famous coach to come and coach, and basically no one had too much respect for this coach. But after being shortlisted for the World Cup, he suddenly became one of the best coaches in China, and was even considered one of the best coaches in the world.

After all, no matter how well Mourinho and Guardiola lead the team, it has nothing to do with the Chinese team. Milou is not considered the world's top coach, but his reputation in China is still top, and for Chinese fans, the coach who can lead the Chinese team to victory is the coach who chases well.

People always joke that leading Chinese football out of Asia is a hellish level of difficulty. Maybe it's not that difficult in itself, but in the eyes of the fans, it's really one of the biggest challenges in football, and it's not easy to accomplish this honor.

It was precisely because of his honor and his words that he immediately received a voice of approval. Indeed, the game has ended, and as a Chinese, only those who are full of food will be investigated if there is no inside information.

If you get something cheap, who will be full to find the truth? Although the Chinese media has always been, it is not stupid enough to do that.

That is, with the beginning of Coach Gao's words, the weather vane in the media has all changed for a while. All of a sudden, the spirit of Chinese football to the end has become the focus of the media's attention. After all, without the persistence of the Chinese team, even if the Iranian side completely collapsed, the Chinese team would still inevitably lose. The upper echelons may have manipulated Iran's defeat, but China's victory was won by itself.

Without the players who made it to the end, how did they qualify? It is precisely because they persevered until the last round and did not give up that they lived up to their expectations. When the media began to come to their senses and their minds immersed in happiness began to clear up, they immediately understood who they should really focus on and who they should praise.

It's a win for the players and the players deserve credit.

The awakening of the media suddenly made the players the darlings, and after the game, there was a time when the players were full of pursuit.

Zheng Zhi and other veteran players finally got a coveted praise. Staying the course, the final reversal is the most powerful retort to those who mocked them before. By working hard to wash away their notoriety, their goal has been achieved.

Wu Lei and other young people have also gained more attention. The media began to expect more from them in the future, and with the national team qualifying, more attention from abroad was on them, which also made them more visible.

Even the average player has gained a lot of benefits. Because of the victory, Chinese football is now more popular, in addition to Guangzhou, some other local big bosses have also begun to invest in football, and the income of players will further increase. They get a lot of attention just as well.

After the qualifiers, it seemed that everything was fine.

It's just a pity that the players of the Chinese team, whether they are veterans such as Zheng Zhi in China, or young people such as Zhang Linpeng who have the hope of staying abroad, have received a lot of attention, but during this time, Gao Shunyao did not accept any interviews.

What did Gao Shunyao do? This is a common problem. (To be continued.) )
