When the whistle blew at the end of the game, the Chinese fans in the stands erupted in loud cheers, even though it was an away game. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
On the field, the players of the Chinese team performed similarly to the fans.
Many players of the Chinese team cried excitedly - they really did not expect that they would be able to reach the World Cup finals in their lifetime!
These people have all played in the domestic league and have participated in at least one World Cup qualifier, let alone the World Cup finals, and they have not even participated in the top 10.
This time, he not only participated in the top 10 matches, but also reached the World Cup finals in one go.
For them, it's really the pinnacle of life.
As a professional player, as a national team player, being able to play in the World Cup is their goal in life.
World Cup winners?
That is too far away from them, and unrealistic goals are meaningless.
Even the five little dragons who stayed overseas were very excited about this result.
Everyone hugged and celebrated as if they had won something.
Gao Hongbo first went to shake hands with the opposing head coach Le Gan, and then walked to his players.
He is also very happy that he is the first local coach in the history of Chinese football to lead the men's national football team to the World Cup finals, he has made history and achieved his dream.
He could give himself an account.

Everyone was celebrating, from the players on the pitch to the fans in front of the TV.
After the game, even though it was almost 11 p.m. Beijing time, the excited fans still poured into the streets.
In Beijing, in Shenyang, in Shanghai, in Guangzhou, in Dalian, in Wuhan, in Chengdu...... In all Chinese cities, traffic clogged up the main roads, and someone leaned out of every car, waving the national flag and honking the horn desperately.
In the squares of major cities, many fans who celebrated the qualification quickly gathered.
They waved flags and arms and cheered loudly.
Men and women hugged each other regardless of whether they knew each other or not, and no one would think that the other party was a hooligan.
There was a cheering crowd inside and outside the bar, and golden beers were raised into the sky at the barbecue stalls.
The boss rushed out and excitedly announced, "Drink, drink, I'm all for tonight!!"
The vendor who was still selling the national flag before the game grabbed the national flag and stuffed it into every fan who passed in front of his car: "Give it to you! No money! Take it! Everyone is Chinese, have fun together!"
Firecrackers and fireworks were lit, and beautiful fireworks bloomed in the night sky, rumbling as if it was the end of the New Year.
In front of the reporter's camera, it was crowded with excited Chinese fans, who vented their emotions to the camera.
"I was young and didn't remember anything about the last qualifier, but this time I'm very happy that I witnessed the history of the scene!" said a young fan excitedly.
"Thank you Zhou Yi, thank you Sun Pan, thank You He Ying, thank Yang Muge, thank Guo Nu...... Thank you to all the players and coaches of the national team! You helped us realize our dream! World Cup, that is the World Cup......" The fan was already crying excitedly at the end, and a fan next to him immediately came up and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him, and as soon as he turned around, he hugged the other party tightly, howling and crying, and the people who cried to comfort him also wiped their tears. In this way, the two old men hugged each other in front of the camera, crying silently.
But no one was embarrassed, embarrassed, or strange, and many of them were wiping tears like them. If you are not a fan, you are not a Chinese fan, I am afraid it is difficult to understand this feeling.
When the reporter faced this scene, he was also a little moved, the beautiful reporter wanted to say something, her mouth opened, but she couldn't make a sound.
Out of nowhere, a shout came out: "Long live the Chinese team! Long live China!"
This shout soon spread to other places, and the entire square resounded with a uniform roar: "Long live the Chinese team!! Long live China!!"
Not only in this square of this city, but also in other cities in China, in those places where fans gather, this sound is resounding.
"Long live the Chinese team!!Long live China!!"

The next day, TV news, traditional newspapers, and new media devoted a lot of space and time to reporting the Chinese team's 3-1 away win over Oman, as well as the celebrations across the country after the game.
That image reminds people of the news report during the Spring Festival - the people of the whole country are celebrating the Spring Festival......
It's just that now the people of the whole country are celebrating the Chinese team's right to participate in the World Cup finals.
The scene is reminiscent of China's successful bid to host the Olympic Games in 2001 and China's accession to the WTO.
In the evening, the news network also spent five minutes to report on this matter, which shows the importance of this matter......
It first reported on the game itself, then moved on to the celebrations across the country, and ended with a deafening cheer of "Long live the Chinese team! Long live China."
When all the players of the Chinese team returned to Beijing on the plane, thousands of Chinese fans gathered outside the Capital International Airport to welcome the triumphant return of the national football players.
There are so many people that they can't be crowded in the terminal, so they can only arrange to wait outside.
When the Chinese players appeared in front of everyone, the cheers of the gathered crowd seemed to be able to tear off the roof of the terminal.
The players of the Chinese team were also taken aback, they had never seen such a battle - even if they won the runner-up in the Asian Cup and the gold medal in the Olympic Games, they did not have such a spectacular welcome scene when they returned home......
The security guards had to desperately maintain order and not let the agitated fans drown out the passage that had been carved out with great difficulty, but even so, the three-meter-wide passage was now barely able to pass through one person......
"It's amazing......" The players watched all this in amazement, and some people didn't dare to go forward, for fear that they would be swallowed if they walked in......
It was Zhou Yi who took the lead and walked out.
Seeing the players coming out, everyone cheered, and then I don't know who sang the song "Singing the Motherland" first, and a chorus suddenly began near the entire exit.
The second national anthem, there are very few people in China who can't sing "Singing the Motherland".
"The five-star red flag flutters in the wind! How loud the victory song is! Sing about our dear motherland! From now on we will become prosperous and strong!"
The uniform singing echoed in the terminal building, and it could not be silenced for a long time.
Zhou Yi and his teammates, under the protection of security guards, walked through the singing fans.
Zhou Yi kept waving to the fans, and when he couldn't walk, he also stopped to cooperate with the fans to sign autographs or meet their requests for group photos.
In just a distance of more than ten meters, the whole Chinese team walked for more than half an hour before all passed, and after boarding the bus, fans were still crowded around the bus.
There are so many people that the bus can't move at all, and can only "creep" at a speed of five kilometers per hour. The Chinese team's bus seemed to be surrounded by fans and slowly drove out of the airport and into the entrance of the highway toll booth.
When the toll booth was passing, the toll booth was also crowded with people, and they kept taking pictures of the inside of the bus with their mobile phones.
Behind the bus, there was a long queue, all of which were private cars of the fans.
When the bus is driving on the highway, these convoys follow it, neither overtaking nor changing the lane, just with double flashing lights, following the butt of the bus, forming a long line. The national flag was affixed to each car, and many simply stretched out the national flag from the windows and sunroofs to wave it in the wind.
The Chinese players on the bus gathered in the back row of the bus, looked at the teams in surprise and waved to them.
For them, such a scene is unprecedented: when will the former national team be able to enjoy such treatment? It would be nice not to be shouted and beaten by everyone as a rat crossing the street......
The national team players in the car were infected by this scene in front of them, and some couldn't help but sing an "old song" - Sun Nan's "Red Flag Fluttering".
"That's a rainbow from the rising sun, there's no one who doesn't love your color......"
This song is so famous that as soon as someone sang the first line, someone immediately picked up the second line:
"The most beautiful face in the world, no one doesn't miss your face......"
A third person joins in: "Thy bright eyes lead me, let me sleep and look into the future! When I leave the house, thou blows the horn with affection......
Then, more and more people joined in, and post-90s like Zhou Yi also sang along.
Even the master who drove the bus hummed softly, his fingers beating rhythmically on the steering wheel.
So a chorus developed into a chorus in the carriage, and the CCTV reporter who accompanied the car recorded this scene faithfully with a camera.
"Five-star red flag, you are my pride! Five-star red flag, I am proud of you! Cheers for you, I bless you! Your name is more important than my life-!!"
