Tomorrow is the semi-finals of the World Cup between the Chinese and German teams. In the evening, Zhou Yi sent a call to hold a meeting in the national team's WeChat group: "Come to my room at 9 o'clock tonight, everyone will have a small meeting."

It is normal for players to organize meetings by themselves before the semi-finals.

Before the specified time, the Chinese team players all gathered in Zhou Yi's room.

"Tomorrow is the competition, so today we will hold a mobilization meeting. Some people may think that the semi-finals still need mobilization? In my opinion, of course, it is necessary, because I am not sure if everyone is working hard in the same direction." Zhou Yi said.

As soon as he said this, the atmosphere in the room suddenly changed.

"In recent days, domestic Internet has different opinions on our expectations. Those are all the opinions of fans and media, and they can say whatever they want. But I think we ourselves should still unify our thoughts. For example, what attitude should we treat this semi-final?"

Zhou Yi looked at everyone.

"Are you absolutely satisfied after you reach the semi-finals? Or do you want to go to the next level?"

Sun Pan said, "Of course we have to go to the next level!"

Going to the next level is to reach the finals, which is incredible to many people. Can we beat the German team?

Zhou Yi said: "Panpan, you don't have the final say."

After saying that, he looked at the other teammates.

He Ying said: "Go to the next level."

Yan Min: "Go to the next level."

Yang Muge: "Go to the next level."

Guo Nu: "More...more, go to a higher level."

Zheng Zhi: "Go to the next level."

Gao Lin: "Go to the next level."

Zhang Linpeng: "Go to the next level."

...

More players made statements under the gaze of Zhou Yi Wooden Pipe. No one said, "I am very satisfied with this result so far." All of them are "going to the next level."

Of course, what some people say here may not be the truth. After all, when most people say they want to go to the next level, whoever says that they will be the target of public criticism immediately. They do not have the courage to openly confront most people.

Zhou Yi also knew the situation here, and he did not go into delving into whether everyone was telling the truth.

After getting everyone's statement, he nodded and said, "It seems that our thoughts are unified, and this is easy to deal with. Of course, I know that the semi-finals between us and the German team will be very difficult to play, but it is not surprising that we can't win them. Before we played against the Brazil team, many people probably thought we could not win. But what's the result?"

Zhou Yi spread his hands out.

"So I want to say that football is round and nothing is impossible. Since we can eliminate the hosts, we can also eliminate the German team. As long as our whole team performs well, plus a little bit of good luck... With my understanding of the German team, they are not invincible, nor are they without weaknesses. But the key to whether we can win is not how our opponents are, but how we want ourselves. If we don't want to win and we are satisfied with the results of the semi-finals, then we will definitely not be able to reach the finals, without a trace of luck. Only when we reach the finals ourselves can we create miracles."

"I believe very, very much that we can create miracles. Just like when I believed we would not stop in the group stage, my trust in all of us has never wavered at all. Now the same is true for this game. I will fight to the last moment for tomorrow's game and our goals. I am very happy that everyone and I have the same idea."

After listening to Zhou Yi's words, the players who were still a little hesitant had only one idea at this time - why do you want so much to do? Let's fight! It's great to enter the finals. If we don't succeed, at least we have done our best and there is nothing to regret.

"Okay, thank you for coming to this meeting specifically. Let's go back and rest now. Have a good rest and keep your energy. Let's do a big fight tomorrow!"

"Okay! Have a big fight!"

Everyone responded enthusiastically.

Every Chinese player who stepped onto the Minero Stadium probably thought about the contents of yesterday's meeting when he heard the national anthem.

They want to do a big fight, and they want to surprise the world again.

The game they would never have thought had started ten minutes after the game started, and the situation suddenly changed and unexpected situations occurred.

In the tenth minute of the game, the German team launched a fast break, caught the Chinese team off guard. When they hit the Chinese team's penalty area, the Chinese team was only Sun Pan there.

Sun Pan, who abandoned the goal, knocked over Mark Wagner, who dribbled the ball in the penalty area.

The whistle of referee Marco Rodriguez sounded.

"Ah... Danger!" After Mark and his teammates successfully counterattacked, Liu Jianhong exclaimed.

Next is the scene where Sun Pan hit and knocked over Mark.

"This ball..." Liu Jianhong didn't know what to say.

It was clearly the Chinese team attacking the ball, but after the opponent intercepted the ball, he made a quick counterattack. Tony Kroos made a long pass in the backcourt and found Ozil in front. Ozil sent another straight pass, passing it to Mark who was counter-offside.

The Chinese team players had no time to retreat.

Now because of Sun Pan's foul, the Chinese team will definitely be awarded a penalty kick. The Chinese team has to concede the ball after just ten minutes of the game. This is really something that everyone doesn't want to see.

But in fact, what they don't want to see is still behind...

Marco Rodriguez not only awarded a penalty to the German team, but also turned around to show Sun Pan a...red card!

Originally, Sun Pan had nothing to say about the penalty, because he had a foul and he didn't argue with the referee, saying that it was Mark's fake fall.

He did not do this, but was preparing to save the opponent's shot in a penalty kick later.

Unexpectedly, the referee lost all his hopes with a red card!

"Red card?! This... the referee from Mexico, Marco Rodriguez, showed Sun Pan a red card?!" Liu Jianhong felt incredible. "How can this be a red card? I have already awarded a penalty, just give a yellow card to warn you, why give a red card? This is the semi-final of the World Cup! In such an important game, is it too unprotected to send a player so rashly?"

Liu Jianhong was a little angry in his doubts.

He could think of the impact of this red card on the Chinese team with his butt.

Originally, the Chinese team is not as strong as the German team in terms of overall strength. If you can compete with the German team, you must do your best and ensure that there is no shortage of people in key positions.

Sun Pan is very important to the Chinese team. In addition to Zhou Yi's organizational assist and He Ying's goal, Sun Pan's save is also indispensable, saving the Chinese team from the fire and fire many times.

Now the game has just started ten minutes, and the main goalkeeper Sun Pan was sent off with a red card. The Chinese team was awarded a penalty kick, and one more person was missing. How can this play the next 80 minutes of the game?

In addition to Liu Jianhong, the fans on the Internet were also particularly angry: "What kind of referee is this! Black Whistle!"

"Fuck, I've given a penalty kick, why do I still have to give a red card? Will this referee enforce the law?"

"The game has only been ten minutes since the beginning, and we have to lose one person and we were awarded a penalty kick. Sure enough... FIFA just doesn't want to see the Chinese team reach the final, which is shameful!"

...

※※※

The fans in front of the TV cannot understand the referee's penalty, and the Chinese players on the court cannot understand the referee's penalty.

Sun Pan changed his face first. He turned around and walked back. Seeing this red card, he rushed to the referee Marco Rodriguez and roared at him: "Is there any fucking shit in your mind? Why give me a red card?!"

At this time, he had already been shown a red card, and even if he didn't have additional punishment, he would definitely miss the next Chinese team game. Whether it was the final or the third or fourth final, it had nothing to do with him.

So even if Sun Pan is honest now, he will not minimize the losses in the World Cup for himself and the Chinese team.

It's better to vent your emotions...

Moreover, with Sun Pan's violent temper, he couldn't bear it at all.

Just when Sun Pan was about to push the referee, Guo Nu and Feng Xiaoting next to him finally hugged him. They were quite rational and knew that if Sun Pan was too excited and did too much, they might be punished many additional games, which would be a big blow to Sun Pan.

No need to make a mistake.

As the captain of the Chinese team, Zhou Yi hurriedly ran up to negotiate with the referee. He also thought that the penalty was too heavy and just gave a yellow card...

But referee Marco Rodriguez was unmoved, and the penalty he had made would never be changed.

Lippi, who had been through many battles, seemed very excited about the penalty. He rushed to the sidelines and roared at the fourth official: "What kind of penalty is this?!"

Chinese fans in the stands expressed their emotions with booing and scolding.

Everyone was angry.

Although Zhou Yi was still calm, it was useless.

Other Chinese players also besieged the referee, but the result of doing so was nothing other than attracting them yellow cards.

In the end, the referee Marco Rodriguez insisted on the original penalty - the Chinese team was awarded a penalty kick, Sun Pan was sent off with a red card. Yan Min, who was too excited about protesting the referee, Zhang Linpeng received yellow cards respectively, and Lippi was also sent to the stands with a red card.

Ten minutes into the game, the Chinese team suffered heavy losses.

This is really something that all Chinese fans did not expect before the game...
