On June 25, 2014, the Chinese team reached the round of 16 of the World Cup for the first time in history.

This night, Huaguo had no sleep.

Returning to the hotel, the Huaguo team held a small celebration, and Gao Bo, on behalf of the coaching staff, also expressed his gratitude to all the players for their efforts and struggles.

The celebration did not last long, and the players of the Huaguo team went back to their rooms to rest, because the next game was still going on, and the struggle still did not stop.

And the miracle of the Chinese team may continue.

The group stage was all over, and in the final round of fixtures, Ivory Coast also scored a late equaliser in stoppage time to almost upset the Netherlands. Didier Drogba's brace and Gervinho's hat-trick of assists allowed Ivory Coast to earn the respect of the world despite not qualifying from the group.

And they are only one goal away from qualifying, and the promotion of the Huaguo team is really dangerous.

The round of 16 of the World Cup has just been released, which is basically similar to the previous life, and the opponent of the Chinese team has also been determined.

Team Germany!

Seeing this opponent, Yun Sheng felt a little liver pain......

In the 2002 World Cup, the Chinese team met Brazil and Turkey, one won the Hercules Cup, and the other became the third runner-up.

In this 2014 World Cup, the strongest team in the group, the Netherlands, is the third runner-up of this Cup in the parallel world, and the German team is the champion of the 2014 World Cup in the parallel world.

Why is the Huaguo team so unlucky......

In the three games of the group stage, the German team swept Portugal 4-0, drew 2-2 with Ghana, and beat the United States 1-0 to easily advance to the round of 16. In the parallel world of later generations, the German team next broke through, swept all the way to France and Brazil, and finally beat Argentina led by Messi to win the championship. And in the semi-finals, there was also the 7-1 that shocked the world, which disgraced Brazilian football.

Now the Chinese team has met Germany in the quarterfinals, which is really lucky.

Despite this, Yunsheng still brings confidence to the players every day.

Hao Junmin and Zhou Haibing, as players of the Bundesliga giants, have been telling their teammates about the technical characteristics of German players they know in the past two days, as Yunsheng's assistants. Especially Zhou Haibing, his Bayern is the main framework of the German national team.

The day after the group stage, the Chinese team set off for the next leg of the tournament, where they will play the quarter-finals at the Bellario Stadium. In the past few days of intense training, the Huaguo team has also improved its state to the best.

However, it is a pity that although Wu Lei created a penalty in the last game, he was pulled down and twisted to his ankle, and he needed to recuperate for half a month, so he reluctantly bid farewell to this World Cup in advance.

Also unable to play this game are Dong Fangzhuo and Zhang Chengdong, Dong Fangzhuo had some leg cramps in the last game, just recovered, and was in poor condition, Gao Bo did not let him start in this game.

Zhang Chengdong was suspended for accumulating yellow cards and lost the opportunity to play the German team.

In this way, the starting list of the Huaguo team has changed greatly again.

This time, Gao Bo listened to most of Yunsheng's suggestions.

For example, let Zhang Linpeng play a cameo at right-back, leaving the center-back to Zheng Zhi and Feng Xiaoting.

Another example is to let Zhou Haibing, Hao Junmin, and Yu Hai start, giving these players who are familiar with the German team more opportunities.

The starting line-up for this game was finalized the day before the game.

4-4-2 formation: goalkeeper Zeng Cheng, four defenders Jiang Zhipeng, Zheng Zhi, Feng Xiaoting, Zhang Linpeng, four midfielders are Chen Tao, Wang Chuhe, Zhou Haibing and Hao Junmin, and two forwards are Yu Hai and Yu Dabao.

On the German side, they lined up in a 4-1-2-2-1 formation: goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, four defenders Boateng, Hummels, Mertesacker and Mustafi, Lahm at the back, Khedira and Tonik Ross in front, Gotze and Schweinsteiger in front of them, and Thomas Müller in strikers. On the bench are also stars such as Schurrle, Podolski, Klose, and Draxler.

This German team is full of talent and top-notch quality.

It is worth mentioning that Mesut Ozil is also on the list.

In the parallel world of later generations, Mesut Ozil has performed well this season, and finally became one of the main frameworks in this World Cup.

However, in this life, he was injured in Manchester City, and his performance was not bad, but he was not as good as several Bayern stars, and in the end Loew still chose almost all Bayern's attack line, and the only outsider Khedira is also the core of Real Madrid's midfield, with strong strength.

The team's anchor is captain Lahm, who has been pushed into the midfield position since Pep Guardiola took charge of Bayern.

At first, many people didn't understand that it was Guardiola who wasted Lahm's full-back talent, but it turned out that Lahm was also world-class in the midfield position!

"The reason why I let Lahm play in the back is to give other full-backs the opportunity to be in the best team in the world, otherwise there is only one consideration for the best full-back in the world, which side Lahm is playing on now."

Now the biggest regret of the German team and Bayern fans is why the team can't have three Lahm?

Time flies, everyone feels that they are not ready enough, and this important quarter-final is already here.

In the Bellario Stadium, the Chinese team and the German team finally met and were about to start a game.

Like other rival coaches, Laco went straight to Yunsheng after greeting Gao Bo and greeted the hottest coach in international football today.

"Hello Coach Yunsheng, we meet again."

"Coach Loew, we're really fated to meet again in the big game."

"I'm lucky that you didn't become the coach of the Chinese team, otherwise I wouldn't have had that much confidence in this game."

The so-called "meeting again in the big game" refers to Euro 2012.

In the semi-finals of the European Cup, the Italian team led by Yunsheng met the German team led by Loew, and Italy defeated the German team 3-2 in that game.

When they met again, the main lineup of the German team has changed a lot, the young Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer is on the position, and young people such as Tonik Ross and Gotze have also begun to take the lead, and they performed very well in the group stage.

Looking at the direction of the stadium, Yun Sheng recalled the semifinals of the European Cup two years ago, and was very emotional.

This time, as the technical adviser of the Huaguo team, Yun Sheng is conscientious, but this feeling of finding problems on the sidelines but not having control over the team, Yun Sheng doesn't like it very much, but he must correct his position and not interfere too much, otherwise it will be the same as Gao Bo seizing power, which will affect the unity of the team.

It's nice to think back to what it's like to coach at the club.

Yun Sheng was thinking about it, when someone behind him greeted Yun Sheng in German.

"Coach Yunsheng!"

"Boss!"

"Sir!"

Yun Sheng turned his head and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
