Vol 5 Chapter 159: The most brilliant moment

"Aoao Aoao--"
When Zhang Linpeng's penalty was rejected by Pickford, the English fans at Luzhniki Stadium subconsciously created a huge loud voice, which was deafening.
The Chinese fans in the stands were overwhelmed by the fanatical atmosphere. Some held their heads with their hands, some sat down, some looked up at the sky with their arms akimbo, and they didn't know what to think.
If England ’s fourth penalty player hits a penalty, then ... England will meet the French team in the Russia World Cup final.
You have to know that Tang Zheng helped the Chinese team to overtake the score in the 117th minute of the match. It was only half a step away from the final, but now it has to face the situation of being eliminated outside the final.
Such a large psychological gap is indeed unacceptable.
Every Chinese player frowned, including Tang Zheng, who appeased Zhang Linpeng, with a heavy expression, and he was extremely worried about the future.
The close-up footage of the live guide was first given to the Chinese team goalkeeper Zeng Cheng, then to Yan Junling sitting in the auditorium, and finally the picture was locked on Tang Zheng who appeased Zhang Linpeng.
These three pictures are meaningful. If Zeng Cheng had saved at least one of England's third penalty, then the Chinese team would not face this situation.
Yan Junling is the number one goalkeeper of the Chinese team. If the red card is not won in the quarter-finals, this crucial semi-final will inevitably become the starting goalkeeper of the Chinese team. If Yan Junling comes in this game, maybe the Chinese team has already reached the finals. qualifications.
The final picture intention is more obvious. If there is no Tang Zheng in the quarter-finals of the Chinese team and the Portuguese team, there will be no Chinese team in the semi-finals at the Luzhniki Stadium.
Cheek hugged his teammates one by one and slowly walked towards the penalty area.
At the Luzhniki Stadium, the Englishman made a huge cry like a mountain tsunami, cheering Cheek for cheering.
Zeng Cheng, who was standing on the goal line, constantly adjusted his mentality, and also constantly hinted that he could certainly save Chik's penalty.
It's just that as Chik came to the penalty spot, Zeng Cheng's nervous mood came to an extreme, his brain was blank, and the problems explained by the goalkeeper coach Lampura were completely forgotten.
Many Chinese fans choose to close their eyes at this time, obviously they dare not see the possible penalty shoot-out from Chik.
Some fans also prayed that gods such as Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Jade Emperor, etc. could come forward at this time to help the Chinese team survive the disaster.
"Ruben Chirk is the fourth penalty shooter in England. If his penalty hits, then the Chinese team will be eliminated in a good situation ..."
At this moment, the referee Chakil sounded his whistle: "beep ~"
"Come on! Zeng Cheng !!!"
Yang 5's commentator He Wei's breathing became rapid, and his high voice was not hard to hear a trace of tension.
The enthusiasm of the scene has declined, but everyone's attention is on Chik, who has already run.
Penalty scored and England will return to the World Cup final after 52 years.
The penalty was not scored and the Chinese team was briefly pulled back from the cliff.
The confident English fans got a little nervous, they all held their breaths, and they all mentioned their throats in unison.
Lippi, the head coach of the Chinese team in the stands, looked very nervous and intently.
England coach Southgate has his hands in his trouser pockets, pursed his mouth, and his eyes are fixed on Chik and Zeng Cheng.
Chirk's approach distance is very short, and the shooting action is even more flowing, not using the rhythm of the body, but directly kicking the ball to the upper right corner of the goal ...
The goalkeeper Zeng Cheng judged the right direction, but ...

"Goooooooooooooooooooooooooal--"
Zeng Cheng failed to touch the penalty kick kicked by Cheek, the football crashed into the upper right corner of the goal, and the British sky commentator Andy Gray sharply lengthened his voice, shouting passionately: "Game is over! Game is over! England defeated the Chinese team 4: 2 in the penalty shootout and advanced to the Russian World Finals with a total score of 6: 4! After fifty-two years of waiting, we ... finally came back !!! "
"Aoao Aoao--"
The English fans at Luzhniki Stadium raised their arms and shouted, creating a huge shout like a mountain tsunami.
In stark contrast to this, Chinese fans, with their heads down and shaking their heads, apparently have not recovered from the elimination.
Although it was said that the Chinese team might have lost to England before the game, everyone was lucky, and the Chinese team also played a match with England within 90 minutes of regular time, even playing at the end of overtime. The goal scored into the overtaking score is only half a step away from the final ...
Even if the Chinese team loses coach Lippi and goalkeeper Yan Junling in the semifinals, it will not affect the expectations of Chinese fans for the national team.
No dream, just like salted fish.
Cheek, who scored a penalty, opened his arms and ran all the way, but he was quickly dragged to the ground by goalkeeper Pickford.
The English bench player who was pressed outside the sideline crossed the line and celebrated and vented the penalty shootout victory with the players on the field.
At this time, no one except the Chinese will pay attention to the loser Chinese team.
Tang Zheng stood on the arc of the middle circle with his hands on his hips, looking up at the sky at forty-five degrees.
Why ... the penalty shootout on the World Cup stage is always missed in the fifth round?
Is this ... a punishment for fate?
If this is the case, he is willing to use all the glory in exchange for the World Cup final of the national team.
But this world has never had a loss. If you lose, you lose.
This uncomfortable feeling is even more sad than four years ago.
However, as captain, Tang Zheng had to adjust his bad mentality because he was the team captain and spiritual leader.
Everyone can fall, and he ... no!
Teammates next to Tang Zheng either sat on the floor or simply lay on the ground, like veterans Hao Junmin and Zhang Linpeng who even missed a penalty and even cried in tears.
If the penalty shootout can seize the opportunity, the national team will not be eliminated ...
At the same time, He Wei, the central 5 commentator, looked at the English player who was shown the broadcast picture, but he was not in a good mood, but his professionalism was extremely high, and said loudly: "Chick made a key penalty and the penalty shootout ended. Congratulations to England! They got the last World Cup final ticket! "
German sky commentator Marcel Leff said: "The plot is so ups and downs, the hardest team may not be able to laugh to the end, the stronger team may not be able to laugh to the end, but the last team It must be the best team as a whole. England is more like a team than the Chinese team relying on Tang! "
"Think about it. At this moment, in London, in Liverpool, in Manchester, in the taverns by the Thames, there must be countless English people cheering, and in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen ... there must be countless Of Chinese fans are saddened, but ... this is football, cruel competitive sports. "
Immediately, the live guide switched shots and swept through the Chinese players in turn.
As the criminals who missed the finals of the Chinese team, Hao Junmin and Zhang Linpeng still kept the same movement, lying on the grass, covering their faces with both hands.
Through the rebroadcasting, you can clearly see the tears flowing from the fingers and dripping down the grass of Luzhniki Stadium along the cheeks.
Hao Junmin is over thirty, Zhang Linpeng is already twenty-nine.
Big men ’s tears are often more sad than women ’s.
The man did n’t shed tears, but did n’t reach his heart.
Sending the national team out of the finals personally is hard to relieve.
Seeing this, He Wei's voice changed and said sensibly: "Success in life is temporary, but failure is the main theme. I think true maturity should not be the pursuit of perfection, but to face one's own shortcomings. This is ... The essence of life, Roman Rowland once said that there is only one kind of true heroism in this world, that is to recognize the truth of life and still love it. "
"Hao Junmin and Zhang Linpeng don't need to put too much pressure on the Chinese team's exit. It's like the butterfly can't fly through the sea. No one has the heart to blame. Entering the semi-finals is our greatest success. Four years later, we can start from scratch!"
Countless Chinese fans sitting in front of the TV listened to He Wei ’s commentary and gradually accepted the result of the failure. The semi-finals have already been the biggest success of the Chinese team. Before the game, the media speculated that the Chinese team would at most advance to the top 16. After all, Croatia was in the group stage. After winning three consecutive victories, and the experience of defeating the popular Argentina team with three goals, almost everyone thinks that the Chinese team's journey to Russia is over.
But Tang Zheng's lore goal brought the Chinese team to the quarterfinals, and the quarter-finals turned the tide again, advancing to the quarterfinals.
Although it was possible to advance to the World Cup finals once, people have to be content.
The broadcast screen was switched again and given to Lippi, the Chinese coach who came down from the stands.
At the age of seventy, he has no previous loss, he took the initiative to walk to the England coach seat and shake hands with Southgate to congratulate.
Luzhniki Stadium is completely reduced to the sea of ​​English joy, Tang Zheng deaf ears, one by one to comfort the sad teammates.
"What is the captain? This is the captain." Yang Yang, a guest commentator, Xu Yang, was enthusiastic: "When the team is in grief, Tang Zheng, the captain, forgets himself and comforts his teammates. Tang Zheng has done his best and once led. The Chinese team wants to create a new Asian team record in the World Cup, but unfortunately, the gap in overall strength prevented the team from crossing the England level. Come on! Come on again after four years! Ladies, do n’t be sad, do n’t be sad, Because you have done the best! "

"Aoao--"
The Luzhniki Stadium sounded the almost crazy roar of the English, but the Chinese fans in the stands only saw Chinese players who gradually accepted the reality.
Although Hao Junmin and Zhang Linpeng missed penalties, neither the live fans nor the fans in front of the TV blamed them.
As He Wei and Xu Yang said, the Chinese team has achieved the best they can do, and the promotion to the semi-finals is an unexpected surprise.
Not advancing to the finals in a good situation is certainly unacceptable, but seeing the facts, it can be satisfied.
The broadcast screen repeatedly gave Tang Zheng close-up shots. After appeasing his teammates, he took the initiative to welcome the English players celebrating the promotion to the finals and sent blessings.
In his younger years, Tang Zheng ’s favorite national team to watch the Premier League all year round was England besides the Chinese national team.
The Chinese team failed to advance to the World Cup finals, and the European Chinese team advanced to the World Cup finals also fulfilled Tang Zheng's dream of a World Cup final.
However, Tang Zheng is not optimistic about the prospects of England ’s World Cup champions, because the overall strength of the French team is stronger and the three lines are also more stable. In addition, the overall state of the French team is adjusted to the best state. If England is to beat the French team, it is really not so. easily……
After all, the Chinese team who missed the finals became the focus of the commentator on the spot.
Of course, to be precise, the focus is on Tang Zheng, who led the Chinese team to the World Cup semifinals with his own strength.
If Hao Junmin and Zhang Linpeng missed the penalty, the Chinese team might even hope to reach the final.
There is no if in the world, so I can only regret it.
Feeling sorry for Tang Zheng.
With Tang Zheng's super personal ability, any team in the quarter-finals of the World Cup is likely to make this team advance to the World Cup finals, even the championship.
After all ... Tang Zheng has the nickname "King of Finals".
In other words, Tang Zheng never lost in the finals, all won!
At this time, Tang Zheng, who was interviewed by reporters in the mixed zone, took his teammates around for a week, thanking the Chinese fans who were present.
On the other side, there are English players who interact with their national fans.
Sad and ecstatic ~ EbookFREE.me ~ huge contrast.
The Chinese fan of the Yang 5 commentator He Wei looked at the broadcast screen and said with emotion: "Football is like this. The joy of one side sets off the sadness of the other side, the extreme emotions of human beings. Within ten minutes, it can be fully reflected. This is football, which is why we love it deeply. "
"Audience friends, when I grow old, I will sit on the hillside by the fireplace, hug my grandson, and tell him the story of the Chinese team in the World Cup. A classic battle that almost made a record. "
After a week of Chinese players walking straight to the player channel, He Wei looked at the lost back of the Chinese player: "The most glorious day of our lives is not the day of success, but the desire to challenge life from lament and despair And the day we bravely stepped forward to this kind of challenge, we gave this sentence to the young men of the Chinese team. We must make a comeback after four years! We congratulate England again, audience friends, goodbye. "
He Wei, who turned off the headset, leaned back on the commentary and covered her face with her hands, but tears still flowed through her fingers.
The commentator Xu Yang raised his hand and did not shoot for a long time.
As the current Yang 5th brother, He Wei's deep feelings for Chinese football are well known, and when the Chinese team once again missed the penalty and went further, the emotions finally broke out.
After all, He Wei at this time is just an ordinary Chinese fan.
He knows that the Qatar World Cup four years later must be right and wrong. Tang Zheng, who is over 30 years old, cannot have such a stunning competitive state.
In other words, the World Cup in Russia is the most glorious moment of the Chinese men's football team in the World Cup.
He Wei's love for Chinese football is deep.
