Zhuo Yang said to Koko: I still think it is reasonable to have only 24 teams participating in the World Cup. Although 32 teams are more beneficial to the Chinese team and more beneficial to the development of football, I still think 24 teams are better.

.

Koko said: I don’t understand very much~ I’m very happy to see you win.

Zhuo Yang said: I didn't win, I just tied.

In the last game of the World Cup group stage in South Africa, the Chinese team was tied three times by the tenacious Italian team under the lead three times. This 3:3 allowed the Chinese team to enter the World Cup quarterfinals 16. In another game in the same group, Paraguay and Cameroon played.

Become 0:0.

In Group F, Paraguay won three games and two draws, with 5 points, the first place in the group, the second place in the group, with 4 points, with 4 points. Italy tied all three games and remained unbeaten, with 3 points in the group, with 3 points and two Cameroon.

The group scored a 2-point team with a bottom.

The six games in Group F were played, and only the Chinese team participated in two games were tied, and the other four games were tied. On the surface, this was a group of death. But the Chinese team qualified from this group of death.

Although the first game was not satisfactory, it created the brightest splendor in the team's history in the second game. In the last game, the Chinese played with the defending champion in a heart-wrenching manner.

In the final stage of the game, the two sides returned to chaos, but did not start to fight. After the kick-off, the referee left the central circle and blew the final whistle. After the game, many Chinese players cried, Zhuo Yang did not. Maybe he had seen him.

There are too many big scenes, and a mere 16 is really nothing. Many Italian players also cried. They were used to success, and today's failure made them at a loss.

Gattuso's nose stopped bleeding, and he shed tears. The eighth master said: We are Italian sinners, and everyone present is a shame to Italy.

Meng's second brother also apologized, but he should not be a shame when he scored a hat trick in the game. The second brother won all six goals from Italy in this World Cup. As a midfielder who shouldered defensive responsibilities,

Meng Er is already impeccable. In this World Cup scorer list, the second brother is only behind Zhuo Yang seven. The data of the two brothers can be the best scorer in the past.

Only looking at personal performance, Ricardo Montolivo is the best player in the top 32 in the World Cup and the best star in the world football this year.

At the end of the game, Pirlo did not cry. He hugged Zhuo Yang tightly with his face as peacefully as his second brother. Back in the locker room, Shuipi and his second brother hugged in their seats and cried for a long time.

When Cannavaro and Zambrota hugged Zhuo Yang, their eyes were still swollen. After the game, they announced their withdrawal from the national team, and Gabaye also withdrew from the same team.

Coach Lippi did not shed tears. At the age of 62, he experienced too many life flavors, but because he hurriedly hid back to the locker room, he forgot to shake hands with Rijkald, but it also showed that he was a little confused.

Lippi apologized to Jieshuai with a graceful apology at the post-match press conference and congratulated the Chinese team on their successful advancement.

"The Chinese team is excellent, they have an outstanding head coach and an incredible captain. Italy did not lose to the Chinese team, but we actually performed very well in this game, Italy lost in the first two games

.”

Whether it is the scene or the data, it can be reflected that Italy has an absolute advantage in the game against the Chinese team, but the Chinese team seized the opportunity to lead three times, and this is football.

In the last game of the group stage, Italy played their best football in this World Cup, but the result was not satisfactory, and the root cause was indeed the decadence of the first two games.

Italy is the most famous slow-heating team in the world football world. It often performs poorly in group stages, but after entering the knockout round, it will gradually enter a good situation. At the 1994 World Cup, their performance was the best.

footnote description.

That time, Italy, Norway, Ireland and Mexico were in the same group. Italy, which was originally significantly stronger than the top, played stumblingly, and clearly kicked the strength and weakness into the group of death. All four teams won and tied.

With one loss and four points, they also won a small goal with a small win. Italy finally advanced to the rematch with one more goal number and achieved a better score.

After that, Robert Baggio led his Italian slaughter, killing the mighty and dark horses all the way, and meeting with Brazil in the final. That time, if 32 teams participated in the competition, only the top two in each group advanced, there would be no

Nothing happened in Italy will be gone.

The World Cup expanded from 24 teams to the top 32, and the most disadvantage was the slow-heating strong team like Italy. If you are not careful, they will be doomed.

Zhuo Yang felt sorry for Meng's second brother and his old friends, especially his second brother. His phenomenal performance this year should not be back home in the group stage. After Italy returned home in disgrace, all the players were criticized by the media.

I am spared by the second one.

The day before the second brother left Nelspret, he said to Zhuo Yang: "Among us brothers, I hope you will win the championship the most, although it seems that you are the most unlikely. If you win the championship, I will feel good.

Some, because I tied with the champion.”

Zhuo Yang said: "You even tied with Cameroon."

"Oh, why are you so confused?" The second brother shook his bangs: "Night comes to my heart, on my weedy hands, and the water flows out drop by drop."

"Hey, what a poem, what a poem~"

"Go away!"

A week later, on the first day after the transfer window opened, second brother Ricardo Montolivo announced his official transfer to AC Milan.

.

After the game, the Chinese team fell into a carnival. Captain Zhuo Yang made a passionate speech on behalf of the whole team. He dedicated his success in advancing to the top 16 to all those who have made efforts for Chinese football and to everyone.

A hard-working Chinese.

The land of China is in a boiling state. Although football has not yet accumulated a profound foundation in history in China, the appeal of the world's number one sport to the whole society is incomparable to other sports.

Chinese people are used to doing things in a low-key manner. Before the World Cup, the Chinese team still claimed to the outside world that "scoring a goal, scoring a point, winning a game". In other words, as long as one goal is scored, it is considered to have completed the minimum task.

On the way, Zhuo Yang and the coaching staff naturally disdained this goal. No matter how humble he is, he would not think that he could not even score a goal.

The bottom line of the Chinese team's internal competitive goal is the third in the group, winning one game is the lowest configuration, and advancing to the top 16 is the real direction of hard work. From this point of view, the Chinese team has actually just met the standards.
