When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, the Chinese fans and Chinese reporters at the Real Bafphoken Stadium were very excited, and their cheers circled over the stadium, and the stadium has long become a happy gathering place for Chinese players.

Iello, who scored goals and assists in this game, is naturally the best on the spot and deserves it.

At the same time, Tang Shun, chairman of the Football Association, and Lin Yao, vice chairman of the Football Association, who accompanied the bosses of major enterprises in China to watch the game, raised their arms and shouted with the voices of the fans in the stands.

This moment...... They are part of the thousands of fans.

Wang Jianlin, chairman of Dalian Wanda, who has always been very close to Chinese football, is ready to increase investment in domestic football at this moment, and the spring of Chinese football he is waiting for has come, and he believes that with the national team to advance to the quarterfinals of the World Cup, it will give birth to more football-loving fans and good seedlings to play football.

China is a big country with a population of 1.3 billion, as long as the domestic football environment is good and there is a belief in football, then there will be a steady stream of successors......

Thinking of the separation of management and management of the General Administration of Sports before the World Cup and the detailed plan for the ten-year training of youth football planned by the Football Association, I should also make a modest contribution!

Xu Jiayin, chairman of Hengda, who has just taken over Guangzhou football not long ago, is even more convinced that investing in Chinese football can not only increase the popularity of his real estate company, but also indirectly accelerate the ten-year training plan for Chinese football youth!

The domestic tycoons who accepted the two leaders of the Football Association to watch the 1/8 finals of the Chinese national team began to have their own detailed plans.

As the saying goes, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility!

As the best player of the game, Iroh had just hugged and celebrated with his teammates when he was surrounded by a swarm of reporters, looking like he was not allowed to leave without answering questions.

However, the Chinese team easily won the game 3:1 and advanced to the quarterfinals, and Iroh was in a good mood, so he did not dislike the media interview, but said to the middle-aged ESPN reporter who was desperately squeezing out: "Eh, that uncle, what are you turning your head, it's you!" ”

ESPN's middle-aged reporter's brows immediately flashed three black lines, Uncle Nima, Lao Tzu is only in his early thirties, but thinking of the previous unpleasantness with Iro, in order to avoid slapping his face in public, he had to put on a smile that was more ugly than crying, and said: "Congratulations to the Chinese team for advancing to the quarterfinals of the World Cup, what is the next plan?" ”

As the saying goes, reach out and don't hit the smiling person, although the smile is very ugly, but it can also make up for it, and Iroh cast an idiot look at the past: "What's the next plan?" Of course, it's to prepare for the quarterfinals! ”

Originally, Iello wanted to tease the cute middle-aged ESPN reporter, but time was waiting for no one, and the reporter of "French Football" rushed to give questions.

Thereupon...... Iroh turned his attention to dealing with other reporters.

Of course, Chinese journalists are treated with special privileges.

At the post-match press conference, U.S. head coach Bradley admitted that he underestimated the Chinese team and underestimated Iello's personal ability, so he was fully passive throughout the game.

After venting, Bradley also warmly congratulated the Chinese team on advancing to the quarterfinals of the World Cup, hoping to go further and further......

It was Gao Hongbo's turn to attend the regular press conference after the game, he was more sincere in the face of the victory of this game, when the major media mentioned whether the Chinese team could equal the record of the South Korean team to set the top four of the Asian team, he just said that he needed to wait until the end of the specific game to know, and also mentioned that Du Wei in this game will miss the 1/4 finals after receiving a red card, diverting the attention of the media.

Gao Hongbo's heart actually knows that the 1/4 finals will be the end of the Chinese team, and it is the credit of Iroh to be lucky enough to advance to the top 16, and it is an obvious strength advantage to win the US team in the 1/8 finals, but this is also the extra luck brought by advancing to the top 16......

If England had topped the group, then ...... The current press conference is not in a happy mood.

※※※

At half past eight o'clock in the evening local time in South Africa, another 1/8 final kicked off at the Johannesburg Football City Stadium, the two sides of the game were Argentina and Mexico, and the winner of this game will also be the opponent of the Chinese team in the 1/4 finals, so the Chinese team players who returned to the hotel were summoned by head coach Gao Hongbo to watch the live broadcast of the game in the hotel conference room.

This 1/8 final was similar to the plot of China vs the United States, Argentina led 3-0 in the first and second halves, and then Mexico saved face with a goal scored by Hernandez at the end of the game.

In the end, Argentina defeated Mexico 3:1, which means that the opponent of the Chinese team in the quarterfinals is ...... Argentina!

When the game was over, the Chinese players who watched the game in the hotel subconsciously shook their heads, and they were more willing to face the inferior Mexico than facing Argentina in the quarterfinals, so that they could rewrite the record of the Asian team that entered the World Cup semi-finals eight years ago by the Koreans through the back door......

Even He Wei, who was in charge of the on-site commentary, sighed and said: "At the end of the game, the opponent of the Chinese team in the 1/4 finals of the World Cup in South Africa has come out, they are Argentina, who has won the World Cup twice!" ”

However, Iroh saw more openly, he stood up and glanced at his relatively decadent teammates, clapped his palms, and waited for everyone's attention to come before saying, "I know everyone's mood must be bad, actually...... I'm the same, two years ago, I and Xiao Ting, Xu Ri, Jun Min, Gao Lin, Xiao Lei and I lost to the Argentine Olympic team in Gongti, and now we are facing a stronger Argentine national team, everyone is not optimistic about us, I believe that as long as you ask someone casually outside, 'China and Argentina play the World Cup 1/4 finals', who will win? I guess 100 percent of people would say Argentina, but we can't think that way ourselves......"

"Why did football become the number one sport in the world? Because the sport is full of uncertainties, the little-known United States team can beat England, the world's number one, and think about North Korea in 1966, who beat the favourites Italy 1-0 to reach the quarter-finals? In the opening match of the 1990 World Cup, the little-known Cameroon still defeated Maradona's Argentina 1-0? Did Senegal, who opened in 2002, also beat defending champions France 1-0? ”

Iroh gave so many examples in one breath that many of his teammates didn't react.

But the only thing that is certain is ...... Their fighting spirit gradually returned.

“…… We have entered the quarterfinals of the World Cup, and then we are in the semi-finals, and to be able to get to this stage, I believe that the Chinese people are extremely proud of our efforts, even if we lose to Argentina in the end, no one blames us, after all, the strength is here, don't forget...... Argentina are different, they are the favourites to win the tournament and cannot afford to lose! Or maybe you can't afford to lose!! In other words, Argentina's mentality of not being able to afford to lose is something we can exploit! As long as we can put in 100% combat power and hold on until the Argentines become impatient, that's when we can kill with one blow!! ”

Listening to Iro's words, everyone is full of blood and resurrection, and they can't wait to play a 1/4 final with Argentina immediately, anyway, if they lose the game, they will not be condemned by domestic fans.

Gao Hongbo also realized that he had embarked on a misunderstanding, no matter how strong the Argentine team was, then ...... It doesn't mean that you don't have a hard time!

The next day, the media that followed the World Cup was not the Chinese team and the Argentine team that advanced to the quarterfinals, but Airo!

He scored a goal in the quarter-finals in which China eliminated the United States, which means that his tally of World Cup goals this season has become seven.

From the history of the World Cup, from the 1974 World Cup in West Germany to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, except for the 1974 Polish goalscorer Glato scored seven goals and the 2002 Ronaldo scored eight goals, the top scorer in the other seven World Cups has scored six goals, and as the game of football becomes more commercialized, teams have become more and more defensive focused, and it has become more difficult to score goals.

Klose, the top scorer in the last World Cup, scored five goals and won the Golden Boot as the best proof of this, and this World Cup Ailo has scored a staggering seven goals in only four games, how can it not cause a sensation?

The Champions League and the league are different from the World Cup, which can be participated in every season, but the World Cup is different, it is held every four years, and it is necessary to participate in multiple World Cup qualifiers to enter the finals stage, which is more golden.

A higher gold content equals a higher honor, and a higher honor means that a team with better defense can win the final championship, and Italy in 2006 is the best example.

However, there are also media reports that Aillo's goal journey should also be over, because they met the favorite Argentina in the quarter-finals!

No matter how strong Ello's individual ability is, it can't make up for the huge gap in the entire team.

Then he talked about the two old enemies of Iroh and Messi.

From the 2005 World Youth Championships in the Netherlands to the 2008 Beijing Olympics and now the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

In the past two matches, the two have won one game each, and the next World Cup quarter-final will be the third match-up between the two, which will attract attention.

There are still four 1/8 finals that have not yet started, and the media momentum is already brewing.

And the media momentum has also allowed Telefónica, which Iello and Messi signed together, to find a place to hype......

After a short discussion, the professional advertising agency quickly came up with an extremely attractive name - rival war.
