Chapter 1132: A World Problem
China's two-game winning streak before the start of the World Cup has made Chinese fans extremely proud, and four years ago, the Chinese team unexpectedly reached the quarter-finals under the leadership of captain Ailo, and was eventually eliminated by Argentina due to the large overall gap between them.
Four years have passed, and the current Chinese team has been the Asian champion, the Confederation Cup champion, and the Chinese team in this World Cup has been listed as one of the biggest favorites to win the championship.
Especially the older generation of fans, they have the strongest feeling, you must know that the Chinese team reached the bottom point of history ten years ago, after losing to the Japanese team in the Asian Cup final and finishing second, and was eliminated in the top 20 of the Asian World Cup in Germany at the end of the year because of a goal count......
At that time, everyone thought that the Chinese men's football team was going to end......
However, in 2005, Iroh was born, and he led the Chinese national youth team to win the World Youth Championship in the Netherlands, and what happened afterwards is something that all Chinese fans are extremely proud of, because since then, Iroh has begun his legendary journey in European football......
The members of the Chinese men's football team who won the game received huge cheers from more than 20,000 Chinese fans at the scene, and even after the game was over, the enthusiasm of the fans remained undiminished, and the cheers that erupted over the Maracanã Stadium could not be dispersed for a long time.
England captain Wayne Rooney, who didn't lead his team to victory, shook his head and sighed, and just as he was about to walk to the players' tunnel, a hand was placed on his right shoulder, so he subconsciously turned to look.
Rooney saw the smile on Iro's face, although he looked very comfortable, he and Iroh had been friends for many years, so he naturally knew that Iro's smile was not just a gesture of goodwill, but a demonstration.
So Rooney rolled his eyes speechlessly.
Iroh didn't pay attention to Rooney's rolling of his eyes, but directly withdrew his left hand, took a step forward, hugged Rooney's back and said with a smile: "Lu Xiaopang, come on, believe in yourself, just like you can break into the world wave, you will definitely be able to in the World Cup!" ”
And then, Rooney woke up like a dream.
Yes, I can!
In fact, a long time ago, Rooney's self-confidence was very strong, and during the Everton period, it was because of his lack of stage fright that he defeated Arsenal with an earth-shattering world wave and ended the opponent's unbeaten record of 49 league games.
In the 2007-2008 Champions League final, it was his goal that helped Manchester United equalise.
But when he was at Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo showed more strength and potential, so in order to get more glory, he had to choose to compromise, and this compromise also reduced his self-confidence again and again.
"Thank you!"
Rooney also patted Arlo on the back in response, as a thank you.

After the warm-up match before the Chinese team and England's Time Cup, Guardiola quickly focused on the next warm-up match opponent Mexico, as the last warm-up game before the start of the World Cup, he watched it particularly important.
Compared with the first two warm-up games, Guardiola is no longer ready to make a rotation, he wants to sacrifice the strongest lineup!
Despite this, the eyes and focus of the media following the World Cup are still on the warm-up matches that ended yesterday......
Many media believe that although England has been reduced to a second-rate team in the world, after all, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, and the Chinese team was able to beat England 3:1, which fully reflects its super strength, especially the captain Iello scored two goals alone in this game, and also had an assist.
Compared with the warm-up match between Shanghai and Gabon in China, Elo's form is getting better and better, which has worried the media in many countries.
The most immediate concern was the media from the three countries of Portugal, the United States and Ghana, followed by the four teams from Group H.
The media in Belgium, Russia, Algeria and South Korea are worried that China are widely regarded as the most likely team to qualify for Group G, and if they make it out of the group stage, they may face China.
Rain ahead is the best way to hold fate by the throat!
Even if the group stage of the World Cup has not yet started, as a country's media, it should look at the problem from the perspective of the national team and help the national team solve problems......
A well-known reporter from the Portuguese newspaper "Record" gave advice to the head coach of the Portuguese national team, Paulo Bento, in his column after studying the match between the Chinese team and the England team, he said: "The Chinese team is not as difficult to deal with as everyone thinks, at least ...... In my cognition, the Chinese team has a big flaw, and their biggest flaw comes from the captain Ai ...... Compared to the warm-up match between China and Gabon in Shanghai, this warm-up match against England is more informative, and Ai's two goals and assists were the key to China's victory, in other words...... Is it that if we limit Ai in the game, then we have a good chance to beat the Chinese team? ”
"Guys, it's not a hypothesis, it's a real possibility, as long as we do our job defensively, we will solve the worries of captain Cristiano Ronaldo, he can focus more on attacking, so that he can have better opportunities to help the national team achieve something in the scoreline......"
Although the well-known reporter of the Record newspaper took great pride in his analysis, his statement was not endorsed by anyone, and was ridiculed by countless peers as a dreamer and sensational.
Because everyone knows that on the football field, defending Iello is a worldwide problem.
However, the well-known reporter of the newspaper "Record" lightly described the Portuguese national team's success in limiting Elo, and then the captain Cristiano Ronaldo led the team to victory, which is clearly not true.
If Iello had been so easily restricted, he wouldn't have been as successful as he is now, Chelsea and Valencia would not have won the UEFA Champions League in a row, and China would not have won the Confederations Cup last year......
Everything means that Iroh can't be restricted, and the only way to do that is to prevent him from playing comfortably and increase the success rate of his own attack.
This...... is the best strategy for Portugal to win.
With the experience of Portuguese journalists, there was no such thing as grandstanding.
At this time, the media from Far East China naturally gave all the praise to Iello because they knew it...... How far the Chinese team can go in the end depends on the specific performance of captain Ailuo......
