Vol 4 Chapter 827: The Chinese team is not a dark horse

() Zhuo Yang is not a god, and his judgment cannot always be correct.
The penalty shootout is expected to be won in the fourth round at the earliest. As a result, it was not his turn to take the shot. The third round brought Brazil to a dead end.
There can be no penalty shootout shorter than this, theoretically absolute value. Zhuo Yang is the core hero of the game. Maruo, Zhang Tiedan and You Deshui also made the history of Chinese football because of their successful penalty kicks, which will be recorded in history forever.
This is not the first time that an Asian team has reached the World Cup semi-finals. South Korea did it in 2002. But what happened that year is well known to the whole world, including Koreans. In fact, everyone would rather forget it than talk about it as glory.
But what happened in Russia this year? The Chinese team does not have the right time and place of the host, the black gold of football politics, only Zhuo Yang and his ambitious brothers, only a dedicated and capable coaching staff, only a large and strong logistics team, and only enthusiastic Chinese fans.
Defeating France, Peru, Denmark, defeating European champion Portugal, and eliminating world football's Brazil, Zhuo Yang and his Chinese team had a rough journey, but they reached the semi-finals very firmly.
The extreme smoothness of the penalty shootout is the best reward for their perseverance.
In the beginning, not many people really thought that the Chinese team would drag Brazil into a penalty shoot-out. In this highly anticipated knockout match, the Chinese team did not lose even if they had a small defeat.
90 minutes 2:2, 120 minutes 4:4, the ups and downs of the tug-of-war, made the global audience enthusiastic. When the penalty kick really came, everyone was superstitious about Zhuo Yang's penalty bug.
But the Brazilian team failed to insist on Zhuo Yang's shot.
The penalty kick was supposed to be a special performance by the goalkeeper, but Wang Dalei and Alisson didn't make a jump and became two insignificant passers-by.
The most amazing and unexpected, the Chinese team made three of three free throws and Brazil made three of three free throws. This script is simply full of weirdness.
In July 2011, Argentina's La Plata, the 2011 America's Cup quarterfinals, Brazil and Paraguay scored 0:0 in 120 minutes and had to enter a brutal penalty shootout.
Elano, Tisch, Andrey Santos, and Fred, the four of them consecutively missed the penalty, and they really lost them to the grandmother's house.
But Tixi and Fred played straight, but they were thrown out by the Paraguayan goalkeeper Bilal, which was bad luck. Coupled with Barreto's kick from Paraguay in the first round, that time Brazil did not lose until the fourth round.
Besides, can the influence of the America's Cup be compared with that of the World Cup? Can it be the same as embarrassing thrown in the kitchen and thrown in the square?
.
"My teammates performed very well and everyone was outstanding. We won the penalty kick because we were better prepared and more tenacious. Of course, luck is also an indispensable factor."
Zhuo Yang said: "Brazil also played very well. Mr. Tite has ten excellent head coaches. His team played a good tactical content today."
"To be fair, the Chinese team should win the 90-minute game, and Brazil deserves the victory in overtime. But this is football, and I believe our Brazilian colleagues understand the meaning of this sentence better."
"As for the revenge I said before the game... that is actually not important, you can understand that it is a kind of psychological warfare. I have a very deep friendship with the Brazilian players. Revenge is just an interesting episode."
Only rich people deserve to say that money is not important.
Only those with a fairly high degree of education are qualified to say that studying is actually useless.
Only those who have completed revenge can say that revenge is nonsense.
In terms of score, the Chinese team and Brazil actually drew 4:4, which is three mountains and five mountains away from the shocking 0:7 four years ago. But one is a game-like warm-up match, and the other is an epic World Cup quarter-elimination match. This hatred is not reported. Everyone knows it well.
Even if the Brazilian is unconvinced in defeat, he will not be hard-headed here.
After the game, the desperate Brazilian quickly evacuated the stadium, leaving only tens of thousands of Brazilian fans crying in a mess in the wind. The fans of the Chinese Expedition celebrated wildly and unkindly, making the Rostov Stadium on this day two days of ice and fire.
The day after the match, the identity of Vital Romero, who assisted the Chinese team, was dug out by reporters. The Brazilian media called him the "gravedigger" of Samba football. And Romero's late grandfather Clovis, the tears four years ago were also described as "crying to the grave".
"Thanks to Romero for his enthusiasm. I think this is normal. There are also many Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and Kaka fans in China, including David Luiz, Silva and Fernandinho. , Jesus, Neymar, every Brazilian international has a lot of supporters in China, and they have all felt the love of Chinese fans."
"Football has a national team, but the love of football knows no borders. Thank you again for Romero's enthusiasm, but I still hope that you will not rush into the stadium again. It is not safe. In addition, you are welcome to visit China."
Several major fan organizations in China have expressed that they will provide a one-stop package for Romero's trip to China.
.
The breakout of the Chinese team allowed an Asian team to enter the World Cup semi-finals for the first time with real strength. But it is difficult to define whether the Chinese team is a dark horse or not.
Say it is a dark horse. How can there be such a ferocious dark horse? The team with Zhuo Yang is a dark horse? First of all, Brazil will not agree.
As Pele said, Brazil and China are the two teams with the best and most stable performance since the start of this World Cup. Meeting in the final is the most reasonable script.
From the top 16 in 2010, to the top 8 four years ago, to this year's semi-finals, the Chinese team has steadily improved its strength and record over the years, and it has been very stable in four years. Zhuo Yang made such a big thing, but it only staggered Chinese football and did not stop the rising pace.
From these perspectives, the Chinese team is undoubtedly a real team, and calling it a "dark horse" is self-deception. But since ancient times in football, the risers outside of Europe and South America have been called "dark horses". UU reading www.uukanshu.com and even outside the traditional top ten, what happened to the Chinese team?
In essence, the meaning of dividing the black horse and the white horse involves the renaming of the football pattern. Can the European and American powers psychologically accept the new continent of football geography?
With less than 800 million people in Europe, 450 million in South America, and 1.4 billion in China, it may be time for the football powers to face up to this change.
The reporter asked Zhuo Yang: What is the new goal after reaching the top four?
"Champion. How to relieve your worries, only the champion."
Nonsense, all of them are in the semi-finals, what other ideas are there? The reporter is not brain-disabled, he just wanted to say the word ‘champion’ from Zhuo Yang’s mouth.
"After qualifying from the group, I said that the goal of the Chinese team is to be a champion. You shouldn't believe it at that time. What about now?"
"Mr. Zhuo Yang, you have scored 11 goals, are you confident to break the 13 goals record of Just Fontaine?"
"Why not?"
