Lin Wei was embarrassedly standing in front of Zhang Guan. As a professional paparazzi, it was not uncommon for him to be caught. Lin Wei suffered a lot of beatings when he was young. Cheeky kung fu, but now, facing Zhang Guan's gaze, Lin Wei seems very guilty.
"It's rumored that you were injured outside. It turned out to be fake. This is great. There is a play in the national football team. We can enter the World Cup!" Lin Wei said, trying to resolve the awkward atmosphere.
Zhang Guan smiled at Lin Wei with a smile, and after a full minute, he said: "Mr. Lin, you are famous in the industry. I also know that I won't go around you. I pretend to be injured, yes In order to show the show to the South Korean team, but now it is broken by you, what should you do?"
Lin Wei suddenly had a sad expression. How can he not know that Zhang Guan is deliberately swindling and confusing his opponents now? Maybe Zhang Guan still has a lot of backers. If he really poke this kind of thing out, it is tantamount to destruction. In addition to the tactics of the national team, if the national football team can't enter the World Cup, if the accounts are settled after the autumn, fans alone will tear themselves.
"I don't say, I will never disclose half a word to others about this matter, even my parents, I will not say it!" Lin Wei said immediately.
"This is not enough." Zhang Guan shook his head, and then he said to the assistant next to him: "Go to the doctor and bandage my leg, it will look like the injury. Lin Wei, do you know what to do? "
Lin Wei was also a wise man. He understood Zhang Guan’s intention in an instant. He knew that Zhang Guan was going to deliberately take the fake news out, so he nodded immediately: "You can rest assured that when you are ready, I will take a picture immediately. You are injured." It looks like I will see the newspaper this afternoon!"
Zhang Guan nodded with satisfaction, and said to himself: "Always give the Korean team some hard reasons!"
...
The news of Zhang Guan's injury reached South Korea, and the whole South Korea was boiling. Everyone thought that the South Korean team had little hope of advancing. Even if they defeated Uzbekistan, they would at least finish third in the group and play a playoff match with the American team. The Asian team meets the American team, and there is almost no winning rate at all, so the group is third, which is a death penalty that is not immediately executed.
Now, Zhang Guan is suddenly injured and will miss the next game. It will be difficult for the Chinese team to beat Qatar away. If the Chinese team cannot win, South Korea may still be the second group to directly advance to the World Cup.
"Is the news true? Is Zhang Guan really hurt?"
"Absolutely true. Go to the major portals in China. Someone has already photographed Zhang Guan's injury, and it's still a sneak shot. His knees are bound for dozens of layers. It looks like the injury is very serious. The next one will definitely be Can't play anymore."
"Since it was a sneak shot, it must be true. Great, so long as we beat Uzbekistan, we will be able to advance directly!"
"Fighted, the last game, although it was an away game, must be done, as long as we win this game, we can advance!"
"I'm going to Uzbekistan, I'm going to cheer for our players in person!"
The whole of South Korea is as excited as chicken blood. Many fans have booked tickets to Uzbekistan. They have to come to the scene to cheer for the Korean team. The players of the South Korean team look like a team, and even a few old players said that if they should not go to Uzbekistan, they would retire to thank their citizens.
On September 5, the last match day of the World Top 12 Finals.
The Chinese team challenged Qatar away, and in the list of starting players announced before the match, Zhang Guan's name was not seen, and Zhang Guan's name was put into the bench.
"There is no Zhang Guan in the starting player list. It seems that Zhang Guan can't really compete."
"But Zhang Guan is still on the list of substitute players."
"Don't care about those, I think the Chinese team must have done so to encourage morale."
At another venue, the South Korean team also learned of this news.
"Zhang Guan really missed due to injury, the Chinese team can't beat Qatar in 10 or 9 times, we are expected to advance!" The morale of the South Korean players was greatly boosted.
At the beginning of the game, the South Korean team seemed to be mad. Without a word, they were desperately desperate. Even at Uzbekistan's home court, they have always occupied the initiative on this occasion, always suppressing the Uzbekistan team.
In the stands, South Korean fans are much less than Uzbekistan fans, but their momentum is not inferior to home fans. Every South Korean fan is crying wildly, every time the South Korean team takes the ball, they will listen To their cheers.
At this time, the South Korean team is full of hope. They believe that as long as they defeat Uzbekistan, they can directly advance to the World Cup, so everyone has all the skills and every effort is made.
I hope to bring people endless power, as if a person is lost in the desert. If he is told that there is an oasis in front of him, he will definitely try his best to move forward. But if he was told that he was in the center of the desert, he would probably give up survival. The trick Cao Cao used to hope that Mei thirst quenched thirst was also giving hope.
This is the case with the current Korean team. A few days ago, they felt that the best situation was just to play in the play-offs. It was still a situation of losing more and winning less, but now suddenly has the opportunity to directly advance, which seems to be a life-saving straw, South Korea The team will catch it if they fight hard. So the South Korean team is extremely crazy and hard.
The madness and hard work of the South Korean team also paid off for them. At the 35th minute of the game, South Korea’s top star Sun Xingming’s wing inserted, helping the South Korean team successfully break through Uzbekistan’s goal. The South Korean team took the lead 1-0 away.
This score was also maintained until the end of the first half, and at this time, in another venue, after the end of the half, China and Qatar is still 0 to 0.
Qatar is destined to advance to hopeless, so the players are also playing more relaxed, and the Chinese team, because Zhang Guan's absence, the performance is also more conservative, so the first half of the game was tepid, there is nothing to commend. There was no spark between the two sides.
Zhang Guan appeared on the bench, pretending to be wrapped in gauze on his legs, but had been using his mobile phone to watch the match between South Korea and Uzbekistan.
"The South Korean team is hooked, thinking I can't play, so I fight so fiercely." Zhang Guan's face showed a satisfied smile.
Uzbekistan currently has 15 points, while China and South Korea have 14 points. From the perspective of the Chinese team, of course hope that South Korea will win. If the score is 17 points at that time, the Chinese team has an advantage in the goal difference and can directly advance to the World Cup. If Uzbekistan wins, the Chinese team will be one point behind, and to play in the play-offs, no Asian team is willing to play in the play-offs with the American team. Of course, if the South Korean team and Uzbekistan are tied, it is a very good situation for the Chinese team.
Considering that Uzbekistan's strength is not weak, and the last game is Uzbekistan's home, the South Korean team's win is not very big, but Uzbekistan is more likely to win. So Zhang Guan gave up the trick of swindling, making the South Korean team feel that they have the hope of directly advancing to the World Cup, and they will definitely fight Uzbekistan on the road. At the same time, it also made Uzbekistan one point less determined to win. After all, if the Chinese team did not win, Uzbekistan could keep the group second even if it played a draw.
Things were also as Zhang Guan expected, after the South Korean team had to deal with Zhang Guan's injury, he really did his utmost to succumb to Uzbekistan and even took the lead on the road. And the goal of Uzbekistan's coming up is obviously to keep peace, but it is a bit passive.
At the beginning of the second half of the game, Zhang Guan still did not play, and Qatar played several beautiful attacks, and successfully broke the Chinese team's goal in the 53rd minute, leading to a 1-0 lead.
The score was behind, Zhang Guan decided not to disguise, just put on the battlefield.
"Zhang Guan, isn't he injured?"
"Isn't it because the injury is not good, in order to recover the score, force the injury out of the game!"
Amid the worries of Chinese fans, Zhang Guan took the ball directly to Qatar's penalty zone.
Perhaps the goal was just still exciting, or perhaps it was surprised by Zhang Guan’s sudden appearance. Qatar’s defense was clearly unsatisfactory this time, and the defensive actions of several players in the backcourt were slightly slower than usual. . But the opposite is Zhang Guan. A little slower half-beat means losing points, as does the Qatar team. Zhang Guan broke into the penalty area and lost a goal.
Kadar's players were dumbfounded. Qatar had just scored the last goal and lost the ball in a blink of an eye.
After losing the ball, Qatar appeared a little irritable, eager to pull back the score, and was eventually attacked by Zhang Guan for a defensive counterattack, losing a goal, and it was only five minutes before Qatar lost the point.
After all, Qatar is playing at home, losing two goals in a row in five minutes, changing from one point lead to one point behind. There must be some hang on the face, and the mentality is also more anxious, and this is also used by the Chinese team. Soon after, taking advantage of the emptiness behind Qatar, Zhang Guan made a successful raid and scored another goal to turn the score into 3 to 1. This is already an irreversible score for Qatar.
...
The South Korean team is still launching a crazy offensive, and the Uzbekistan team is not giving up too much. Here is their home after all. If they lose, they can’t explain to the home fans. What’s more, for Uzbekistan, as long as it beats South Korea, Must be on the second throne of the group and directly advance to the World Cup.
After learning that Zhang Guan was injured, Uzbekistan also had a plan to keep the peace. After all, Uzbekistan has 15 points, which is one point higher than that of China and South Korea. If the Chinese team cannot beat Qatar, Uzbekistan will be considered a tie. , Can also be directly promoted.
The South Korean team on the other side played very hard, but Uzbekistan at home was not vegetarian, especially after entering the second half, each side of the ball struggled desperately, and the scene was very tight, and the score was evenly divided.
On the coach's bench, Stilik, the South Korean men's football coach, is also watching Qatar.
"Qatar has scored, leading 1-0? That's great! If China loses, we can play in the play-offs even if we are tied with Uzbekistan!" Stilik told the news to the players on the bench with joy .
However, within a minute, Stilik got the news of Zhang Guan playing.
"Zhang Guan played? Isn't he injured? Is it forced to play with injuries? Yes, it must be like this!"
"1 to 1? Zhang Guan scored? He should have just played. Why did he score so quickly? Isn't he injured?"
"What are you talking about? Zhang Guan scored another goal! The Chinese team overtakes the score!" Stilik sat on the chair with a buttocks, at this time he had realized that Zhang Guan was swindling.
"Zhang Guan deliberately scammed! I understand, this is a hope for us, let us meet Uzbekistan!"
"3 to 1? The Chinese team is leading by two goals? Finished!" Stilik looked at his watch. At this time, the game has been going for 75 minutes, and Qatar is completely impossible to pull back.
But Stilik did not tell the players the news. He was worried that the players would be discouraged. He still hoped that the South Korean team would win. In that case, at least a chance of a play-off could be obtained.
On the court, the South Korean players still do not know all this, they are still clenching their teeth and desperately attacking. However, at this time their physical strength is running out.
Physical strength is indeed not what Asian players are good at, not to mention that the Korean team has been attacking for the first few minutes of the game, which has caused their system to consume much more than usual.
Now that the game has been played, both sides are close to running out of lights, and their movements, speed, response, and consciousness have declined to varying degrees, and scoring has become more difficult.
"Is it going to be a draw?" Sun Xingming, South Korea's number one star, looked at each other's half and breathed a sigh of relief. Then he comforted himself: "If the Chinese team loses, even if it is a draw, we will not be caught right away. Elimination, there are play-offs, we have a chance!"
Uzbekistan was informed of the Chinese team's lead. At this time, they began to be no longer satisfied with a draw. They hoped to win and thus directly advanced, so they launched an offensive.
However, they also face the problem of physical exertion. At this time, Uzbekistan has more than enough energy and insufficient strength. If the remaining physical strength is used for defense, it is OK, and it is unsatisfactory for attack.
The score of 1:1 was maintained until the end of the game, and the two sides shake hands and made a point.
At Qatar's home court, the referee blew the whistle at the end of the match and the score was fixed at 4 to 1.
However, the players of the Chinese team did not celebrate immediately. They took the lead to return to the bench and asked about the results between the South Korean team and Uzbekistan. When they learned that another game was a draw, they started cheering. , With crying...
"We are promoted, we are promoted! We are really promoted!"
After 16 years, China finally broke into the World Cup again!
...
For European and American countries, it is the same for anyone who advances in Asia. Anyway, it is a "group tour", and basically can not enter the knockout game. However, for Asian countries, the Chinese team can advance, there is no doubt that a big shocking satellite.
In the first five games, the Chinese team was at the bottom of the group with 2 draws and 3 losses. Although there is a possibility of "theoretical" promotion, everyone knows that it is impossible for the Chinese team to advance.
After the World Preliminaries, the Chinese team has won five games in a row and won the promotion by virtue of 5 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses. This kind of thing is almost the same as buying a lottery and winning. It can be regarded as a miracle.
Zhang Guan was the person who created this miracle, and naturally attracted the most attention. Many professionals began to analyze Zhang Guan’s technical characteristics, and then found that Zhang Guan’s technical characteristics were very similar to those of Ronaldo, but Zhang Guan’s speed was faster than that of Ronaldo. This combination of technical acceleration , Making Zhang Guan enough to become the world's top shooter.
However, many people think that Zhang Guan is so powerful because it is Asia, and his opponents are relatively weak. If Zhang Guan is placed in the European League, it will definitely not be so powerful.
This view has been recognized by many experts. After all, the world’s four major leagues bring together the world’s top players and top coaches. The strength of Europe’s top football clubs is also stronger than the top national teams in the world. Zhang Guan put it in the European League, and scoring goals must not be as easy as it is now.
The prospect of the Chinese team in the World Cup is not optimistic. After all, the strength of the Asian team is still weak, and it is incomparable with the European and American teams. According to the past situation, the Asian team is more studying with the prince.
...
The World Cup grouping is the same as in previous years. First, the 32 teams are divided into four gears. The first gear is the seed team, and the next three gears are divided according to regions. They are basically the first gear in Europe, the first gear in South America and Africa, and the North America. The Caribbean and Asian teams are in first gear.
This time the World Cup grouping, the Chinese team was divided into Group E. The seed team in this group is the powerful Brazil team. The other two teams are Poland in Europe and Nigeria in Africa.
Judging from the grouping situation, this group can't talk about the group of death, and the situation of the two strong and two weak is very obvious, Brazil and Poland appear together as if it has become inevitable, and the Chinese team still can not escape the fate of the elimination of the group.
...
The training ground of the national team has long been closed. In order to prevent someone from sneaking into the training, the Football Association even invited a professional security company to patrol around.
In the training ground, Zhang Guan's dress is obviously different from others, and his position is different from others. He is standing in the penalty area and standing in front of the goal.
If an outsider sees it, he will be surprised, because Zhang Guan is no longer a striker, but a goalkeeper!
