The Dutch team reached the World Cup final again after 32 years, while the losing Chinese team could only compete for third place.

"Don't be sad!"

"Don't be miserable!"

"Although the Chinese team lost, we shed the last drop of blood. We are still glorious in defeat. The semi-finals are not a failure, the Chinese team has achieved unprecedented success in this World Cup, and we should not be pessimistic and bitter. They are still our heroes. ”

"Let's send them the warmest applause!"

"And don't forget! Dong Fangzhuo has scored 21 goals and has set a new all-time World Cup record for total goals, followed by Ronaldo's 19 goals. ”

"From that point on, we're number one in the world."

In the game, the Chinese team has been in a backward state, so that everyone forgot that Dong Fangzhuo actually broke such an important record, and no one mentioned it!

Now that I think about it, it dawned on all Chinese......

The cameras were all focused on the Dutch players who won the game......

The moment the whistle blew, Dong Fangzhuo didn't move, he stood outside the big penalty area of the Dutch team, a little stunned.

It's just one step away from reaching the finals.

If we can work harder, a little harder......

Sneijder didn't know when, he had come to him.

didn't say anything, directly stretched out his right hand and hugged him in his arms, the 1.70 head hugged the 1.85 head, it looked extremely incongruous, it looked more like Sneijder was seeking comfort from Dong Fangzhuo......

In fact, Dong Fangzhuo's mentality is quite good, after all, he is a human being in two lives, and he is not as painful as he imagined.

"I'm sorry, man, but I still won."

"I'll bring back the World Cup winner's medal and give it to you. You're already great, you're a legend in this World Cup. ”

Sneijder's eyes moistened, and on the one hand, he was happy to advance to the finals, and on the other hand, he felt sorry for his friend.

He was able to grow rapidly this year and get everything, which was completely because of the confidence that Dong Fangzhuo brought him.

But now he stepped on Dong Fangzhuo's corpse to advance.

He doesn't know how to speak, this is already the best language he can think of, in fact, he pondered this sentence for a long time before the game, thinking about what to say to comfort Dong Fangzhuo once he won.

The corners of Dong Fangzhuo's mouth twitched, and then said lightly: "Fake, I'm fine." ”

"You have to get used to losing once in a while."

"Isn't it just losing a semi-final? What's the big deal......"

"Dong ......" Snead looked at Dong Fangzhuo in surprise, "Don't, I understand this pain, don't force it, just cry if you want to......"

"Get out, cry!" Dong Fangzhuo pushed him away, "It's nothing, we have created a great history, this time we failed, we are still in the Brazil World Cup, the Brazil World Cup is not good, we still have the next one!" ”

"Oh, I hope so, you're okay, then...... I went over to celebrate? ”

"Get out!" Dong Fangzhuo didn't have a good air, but then he remembered something and hurriedly spoke again.

"Wait a minute."

"Uh," Sneijder paused again, turning and smiling, "I know you still want my shoulder." ”

"Tell Robben to practice more single knives, maybe it can come in handy in the final......"

"This ......" Sneijder was a little confused, why did it get to the final? He touched the bare head.

"I'll tell him."

After Sneijder left, Dong Fangzhuo began to look for his national team teammate.

Everyone sat weakly on the turf like a plague chicken, or waded down, or lay on their stomachs, anyway, it was a defeated rooster.

World Cup final, what is life? Maybe there is only one time, and the Chinese team failed, and all the previous successes are not enough to hide the pain of this defeat!

Crouchen had already stepped onto the court, comforting his disciples one by one, and he was also a little in tears, but he had already secretly wiped them away.

Dong Fangzhuo walked to his teammates and touched everyone's heads all the way.

"Don't cry, we have been able to get to where we are today, and we have not failed at all, we can only say that it is a pity."

"At the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, we did it all over again."

'We've shown that we can go up against any team in the world and any team can be afraid of us.'

“……”

'Hurry up and get back up, we're going to thank the fans, they're so much more vulnerable than us.'

"Without them, we are nothing."

“……”

At the moment, not a single Chinese player left the scene.

distressed

My heart really hurts, and I feel even more sorry for these fighters on the field who fought until the last moment.

Give them a round of applause and cheers.

"Zeng Cheng,"

"Well done!"

"Li Weifeng, good job!"

“……”

"Dong Fangzhuo, good job!"

The fans cheered every player's name and didn't miss a single one.

The national team leader has been hiding on the bench and burying his head in the corner. After hearing the cheers of the fans, he wiped away his tears with his sleeve and looked at everyone with a smile again.

It's not easy,

Actually, it was such a beautiful World Cup......

'Our World Cup is not over yet, we still have a third place in the World Cup to fight for, and tomorrow night we will know whether it will be Germany or Spain.'

"We're still enjoying the World Cup!"

"Let's continue to support the Chinese team!"

The Chinese players quietly dispersed on the football field, while Sneijder and the others were still celebrating......

※※※※

In the players' tunnel, Dong Fangzhuo and Crowchen walked side by side, and his right hand naturally hit Crowchen's shoulder.

"Mr. Crowchen, you are already the greatest football coach in the world."

"Trust me, there isn't one."

"This ......," Crowchen blinked slightly, "are you comforting me?" ”

"No, no, no, I didn't comfort you, what we have achieved, I want to change to another coach to lead, it is definitely impossible to achieve such results. You are the real godfather of Chinese football. ”

Godfather?

Crouchen was slightly stunned again, the evaluation of these two words is really too high. But Dong Fangzhuo's evaluation, is it accurate?

He suddenly laughed.

"Dong, don't give me a top hat, we haven't achieved anything, I still want to go to the World Cup in Brazil."

"Yes, but first we have to play well in third place."

"If we can't make it to the finals, maybe we can take a third place?"

The two have been partners together for more than six years, and they are also teachers and friends, and they talk about everything very openly......

Then Dong Fangzhuo suddenly stopped and frowned.

"Mr. Crowchen, it suddenly occurred to me that we had done everything wrong."

“？” What's going on, what are we doing wrong? Is it because we failed?

"I don't understand." Even if Crawford has lived for more than sixty years, he still doesn't understand what he has done wrong, isn't it inconsistent in your words? He praised me just now, why do you say that you did it wrong now?

"We lack a champion's heart." Dong Fangzhuo slowly spit out these words.

"The heart of a champion." Crouchen also read these four words slowly.

"The heart of a champion." He repeated it again, and suddenly, his eyes lit up.

"yes, we're missing the heart of a champion!"

These four words are like an empowerment, from beginning to end, the Chinese team has never thought about the championship, even if it reaches the semi-finals, no one in the Chinese team has ever mentioned winning the championship, and even the World Cup finals are rarely mentioned.

The philosophy that has always been instilled in the players before the game is that we reached the semi-finals and we did our best in the final without any pressure. It's always been a stress reliever.

Even when Dong Fangzhuo comforted his teammates at the beginning of the game, he kept emphasizing that the Chinese team had been a great success and never thought about winning the championship.

However, that was only for him to comfort his teammates.

When he wanted to understand why the Chinese team lost, he found the real reason.

That is, the Chinese team and the Chinese players do not have a championship heart at all, without this ambition, how can the Chinese team enter the finals?

"Ah......h

Even he realized that once upon a time, the Chinese team had become a strong team, why can't he be full of expectations for the World Cup champion? Why can't you dream of winning the World Cup?

Well!

I really get it!

The old man really realized.

Heart of a Champion......

※※※※

After that, the general also attended the post-match press conference.

The first is that Crouchen was interviewed:

Crouchen summed it up first: "I think our team deserved to play in this semi-final and I'm proud of the team's performance. The opponents are very strong and it is not a surprise to beat our team. We have a strong desire not to lose. But it's all a shame because we lost the right to the final. ”

Reporter: Will there be any opinion on the referee's decision? Do you think the second goal was offside?

Crowchen: The second goal was offside. But what I'm going to say is that the referee may be right or maybe not. This is not the first time this World Cup has happened, it has happened in previous tournaments. This is not the first time this has happened to us. But that's not an excuse for me to lose.

Reporter: Summing up your trip to South Africa, what do you think the World Cup left you?

Crouchen: We set a new record for this trip to South Africa. We were one of the top four and today we played in the semi-finals and we were hoping to make it to the final. And for now, I would say that this Chinese team can overcome any difficulties. Now, we know that the Chinese team is world-class and we can play against any opponent. I'm happy with my team. And since I took charge of the team, the Chinese team has made a lot of progress. But you can't just look at this team, you have to look at the positive significance that this team brings to the football of the Chinese team.

Reporter: Evaluate the performance of the Chinese team?

Crouchen: We knew before the race that it was going to be difficult and we wanted to be able to play well and fight for third place. We have now earned a good reputation and we hope to show a good image, especially in Chinese football. We want to continue to show the good side of Chinese football in the final game.

Reporter: In the first 17 minutes of the game, the game was very even, but the Netherlands scored then and you changed your tactics very quickly?

Crouchen: After they scored, the situation was a different story entirely. The Dutch team was very technical, creating a goal and then a second goal. I think their second goal was brilliant. The second goal was decisive, it was an offside goal, and of course it would have been a different story altogether if it hadn't been scored. They put more pressure on us. So we had to attack more and in order to get to the final we had to attack and that led to the third goal being scored by the Netherlands in a very short period of time.

Reporter: This is the sixth year that you have led the Chinese team, and you have led the team according to your own football philosophy. What's next for you? Because the next World Cup qualifiers start next year.

Crouchen: I don't want to talk about it now, I can only say that our team has done well in the last four years, but a lot of things that come from now are not up to me.

Reporter: How do you see the Dutch team going to the final?

Crouchen: You should ask the coach of the Dutch team. We emphasised defensively, we played well and controlled the game, but we didn't defend defensively. The Dutch team has been a great tournament this tournament, especially the midfielders have played very well.

Reporter: What does it mean for you personally for the Chinese team to reach the semi-finals?

Crowchen: I think we have shown the world that Chinese football is a football powerhouse. We tried to show the quality of the strong team. But it's a young team and we don't know how to play yet. At first they didn't believe they could make it to the top 4, but now, they do. If we had won, I could have said a lot, but now we have lost, all I can say is that the Netherlands won, they played very well, but we will have this day, we need to work more and work harder, and when that day comes, we will judge this Chinese team.

This is the first time that Crouchen has said so much in front of the media, but when it was Dong Fangzhuo's turn, Dong Fangzhuo didn't have so many words.

"What Mr. Crowchen said is what I want to say, and if you want to ask these questions, he has answered. If you want to ask, ask something else. ”

There was laughter in the audience, and the depression of losing was swept away at once.

Reporter: Dong, you have scored 12 goals in this World Cup, and you are still 1 goal away from equalizing Fangdan's single-game goal record, are you confident?

Dong Fangzhuo: Can you break the record, confidence alone is useless, I think you need luck more, this kind of thing just goes with the flow, have you forgotten that I have broken the record of total goals in the history of the World Cup? Now I'm more concerned about the third place.

The audience exclaimed.

yes, how did you forget such an important thing! The all-time goal record in the World Cup! 21 balls! There is no one before, and there may be no one after.

Reporter: Congratulations, you have become the first in history! But we're not surprised by your record...... You'll do it sooner or later.

Dong Fang was speechless in shock, so that's the case? Aren't you excited?

Well, it turns out that I'm so good that for such an awesome record, they all have to scoff at it and not take it to heart......

Reporter: Why is third place more important than record?

Dong Fangzhuo: We have a saying in China that it is better to be happy alone than to be happy with all. It means that it is better to be happy alone than to be happy together.

Reporter: Third place will be the best result of an Asian country in the World Cup, if successful.

Dong Fangzhuo: No, in my opinion, fourth place is already the best result of an Asian team, do you think the Korean team's result that year counts? Except that the Koreans themselves think.

Reporter:......

Tough, at such a time, you don't forget to spray the Korean team.

Dong Fangzhuo asked: Do you think they are the real top four?

Reporter: This ...... Maybe, maybe...... Not so convincing!
