Just six days later, China challenged Oman against Mascote.

……

It was at that time that Zhao Yuyu became more and more unable to understand the operation of the Football Association.

Zhao Yuyu flipped through the newspaper, this time Zhu Wei didn't run, he was looking at Zhao Yuyu proudly:

"How about it, Yuyu, the Chinese team is not bad now! Finally, it's finally qualified! ”

Zhu Wei waved his arms proudly: "As long as you pierce this layer of window paper, I believe it will definitely get better and better in the future!" ”

"It's very good, even if it is a small loss to Uzbekistan by one goal, the performance of the big brothers of the national football team is actually in the past!" Zhao Yuyu nodded while reading the newspaper!

"yes!" Zhu Wei became more and more proud: "This shows that it is still beneficial for the Football Association to cut off the league and make way for the national team training!" ”

The triumphant Zhu Wei didn't notice Zhao Yuyu's action of flipping through the newspaper!

Zhao Yuyu continued to flip through the newspaper casually: "Hey, Brother Wei, how did the recent newspapers start to praise this Deputy Master Zhang. Seated? ”

"This one drew a good lot!" Zhu Wei replied as a matter of course: "You must do a good job in the AFC to draw a good lot!" ”

"If you draw a good lot, the Chinese team can qualify!"

Zhu Wei looked at Zhao Yuyu puzzled: "There's nothing wrong with this, right?!" ”

Zhao Yuyu's expression was flat: "Brother Wei, have you watched all the top ten matches?" ”

"Look!"

"The players of the national football team, they still work hard during the game, right?"

"That's, that's all desperate!" Zhu Wei is very sure!

Zhao Yuyu handed the newspaper back to Zhu Wei: "Brother Wei, seriously, if there is any good news in the future, just tell me directly, you really don't have to work hard to collect these newspapers, bringing them from China, whether it is entrusted to someone or mailed, it is a waste of money and favors, right?" ”

After saying that, I still couldn't help but turn around and leave!

Zhu Wei's face was puzzled: "Why? By the way! ”

"I'm afraid I'll be!" Zhao Yuyu waved his hand and left without looking back!

Zhao Yuyu clearly remembers that in 1997, when the Chinese team could qualify with a draw, it suffered the Jinzhou tragedy and lost the world preliminaries again.

"Golden State Don't Believe in Tears" has swept the country and has become a lingering mark of Chinese football.

At that time, football hooligans appeared in Chinese football for the first time, and some angry fans turned into football hooligans and started the smashing mode......

It was in this context that the Football Association threw out the conclusion that "the Chinese team is originally the second-rate team in Asia" to cover up various mistakes in the preparation and progress stages of the game......

By the way, the famous "Li Tie" incident occurred in this tragic case of China's showdown with Qatar.

When Li Tie was shocked and couldn't hold the ball, there were many mistakes, and the fans in the stands booed "change Li Tie", head coach Yin Tiesheng did not send people to support Li Tie, but conformed to public opinion, and directly replaced Li Tie before the end of the first half, and replaced Peng Weiguo, who was strong in attack and weak in defense.

This made the Chinese team's defense completely free of barriers before, laying the groundwork for the final 2:3 defeat.

After that, there was the famous "Chinese team was originally second-rate in Asia!" ”

Compared with now, it is not easy to qualify, and it has become "excellent leadership, good lottery!" ”

What can be said?

A "hehe" go all over the world!
