It's hard to kick! Although the French coach Domenech's mind was on Uruguay, the score between China and South Africa made him very troubled. When the team first arrived in the dressing room, many players were also talking about the opening game.

"We have to take Uruguay!"

"Otherwise, there will be trouble in attacking China."

"Even if it's a draw, there's nothing wrong with that."

'Uruguay are a threat to the two strikers in front of them and we can win.

Two hours later, the second group game of the World Cup was over.

0:0, France and Uruguay drawn.

France are not as strong as they think, and Uruguay are not losing to France as they fear. A draw only adds to the complexity of the group stage.

After the game, the qualifying situation of Group A was fun, the Chinese team ranked first in the group with 3 points, Uruguay and France ranked second and third with 1 point, and South Africa played soy sauce with 0 points.

Online fans began to talk about it.

"The Chinese team still has 3 goal difference, if they draw one more game, it is estimated that they will have to qualify!"

"France thought they were a strong team, but they never thought that they were able to qualify for the main tournament through shameless handball, and now they really don't see how strong they are on the field, after Zidane retires, no one can take his place for the time being, although Ribery is very strong, and Nasri These players are also very good, but they do not have Zidane's flag temperament of commanding the three armies!"

The French "Team Newspaper" analyzed the prospects of Group A for the first time, "The draw with Uruguay put the French team in a little danger, in the face of Uruguay, France did not show convincing, this French team is no different from the one in the qualifiers, they still control the midfield, but still break the goal, the French team with a number of world-class strikers is simply unable to resist Uruguay's goal." This also means that in the second round of the match against the Chinese team, we must at least draw with the Chinese team to gain the initiative to qualify. There is no suspense in the match between Uruguay and South Africa, and we can't leave our fate for the third one, the second one is the big battle! ”

UEFA President Michel Platini also made a rare jump to criticize the French team: "France is not only missing a Zidane or Platini, they are also missing a Chinese director." If France had a striker who could score goals, they wouldn't have had just one draw. Domenech still hasn't solved the problem up front, we have a lot of strikers, but we've never been in charge, but you can't put all the hope of scoring in the midfield, right? Not every tournament will be as lucky as 1998, maybe we will be as miserable as 2002! ”

Zinedine Zidane also agreed, "I don't think our team is short of passers, we lack a scorer, I don't say this to disrespect Henry, but it's a fact, of course, our style of play is very simple, the team is not creative, we need to play more beautiful combinations, lack of thought in the last pass. ”

Uruguay's "El Nacional" also shouted in the first time of the team's draw: "God, we have to fight with the Chinese team, we should be able to win the South African team in the second game, but 4 points are not enough for us to qualify, the key is the third game against the Chinese team, the second game against South Africa, we must play a big score, try to get a little more goal difference." ”

Uruguay's young striker Suarez made it clear in his post-match interview: "We have to win against South Africa, we can't wait until the third. ”

The veteran Forlan also said: "We should have won such a French team, but we didn't do it, God punished us!" ”

The media on the Chinese side said: "The situation of the Chinese team qualifying is clear, maybe we only need to get 1 point to ensure qualification, but this 1 point is not easy to get, and then the Chinese team will play against France, and the last round against Uruguay, this is a battle of life and death!" But no matter what, we have Dong Fangzhuo, and as long as Dong Fangzhuo is healthy, we have hope, which is China's greatest happiness. ”

Yes, the whole world knows that Dong Fangzhuo is the biggest weight of the Chinese team, whether Dong Fangzhuo is in the club or the national team, he can bring his own system, can change the team's combat effectiveness, and can affect the occupation.

He's just that.

After the first game, the spinach company softened, and they immediately increased Dong Fangzhuo's top scorer odds and jumped directly to the first. Dong Fangzhuo's odds for the top scorer became 2.30 to 1, followed by Messi's 1 to 4.50, and then other famous scorers. So much so that the Spanish newspaper "As" published an article lamenting:

"It's unbelievable, obviously in a team that can't win the championship at all, and even in a team that has a small chance of entering the quarterfinals of the World Cup, Chinese Dong has still become the most popular scorer, and in our Spanish team, the top scorers of Villa and Torres can only be ranked sixth and tenth, why? Why? Why? ”

"As" asked three reasons in a row, "You know, we are the 2008 European Cup winners, or the 2010 World Cup favorites, but our goalscorers are not the hottest...... Isn't Villa excellent? Is Torres not good enough? But in front of China Dong, it seems that he is embarrassed to compare. ”

Dong Fangzhuo's three goals are not all wonderful, but now he has become the hottest player in the World Cup, and Dong Fangzhuo has also received an invitation that is difficult to refuse - the 95-year-old Mandela wants to meet him!

Of course, Dong Fangzhuo was very surprised, this was the first time he wanted to meet the president of a country.

Mandela, who is now 91 years old, has been in poor health lately, and in order to avoid fatigue, Mandela has greatly reduced his work in public, and may not even be able to attend such an important occasion as the opening ceremony of the World Cup.

Because of his granddaughter's departure, he was hit harder. But he must be a fan of Dong Fangzhuo, otherwise he would not have invited Dong Fangzhuo to his house alone.

This news caused a huge sensation in China, and CCAV learned about the news for the first time, and then reported it to China.

Mandela not only invited Dong Fangzhuo to his home, but also met him alone, which indeed proved Dong Fangzhuo's unique position in today's world football from another angle.

But this news didn't feel much in the team!

"Nelson Mandela, the president of South Africa?" There are still people who don't know about Mandela, and when he came out in training, one of his teammates seemed to be idiots.

Dong Fangzhuo felt that he had met the Chinese version of Ba Shen, and Wang Yongpo's insight was really ......

However, Dong Fangzhuo doesn't think it's so strange, most of the international players are 'unlearned', and it's normal to have such a reaction. In China, it's really normal to not learn well and not know a lot of basic knowledge. In his previous life, he really didn't know much about anything other than his better English......

I don't know if this is the sadness of Chinese players, many foreign players are still bachelor's and master's degrees.

Of course, the players draw, but the leaders of the national team do not.

Mandela's meeting with Dong Fangzhuo can be said to be a political task, not just a personal hobby of Mandela.

Zhu Heyuan is the busiest person, he constantly reports to the top, obeys the instructions of the leader, and hopes that Dong Fangzhuo can complete the 'task' well, so he also found professional etiquette personnel to teach Dong Fangzhuo.

"Director Zhu, can we make this matter simpler?"

"Mandela is a former president, but he didn't receive me as president. He was just an ordinary old man, just a painful old man who had just lost his granddaughter. So, you just let me go and meet alone, and I don't have to worry about anything. ”

Dong Fangzhuo didn't dare to agree with Zhu Heyuan's thoughts......

The only thing he agrees with is safety......

That afternoon, Dong Fangzhuo was taken to Mandela's private residence by the lengthened Cadillac, and he finally met the legendary old man.

The 91-year-old Mandela, no matter how you look at it, is just an ordinary old man, with a withered face, no mental vitality, and a little like a dead man at any time......

But, except for those eyes that are still bright!

Mandela struggled to get up from his wheelchair and shook hands with Dong Fangzhuo.

The two exchanged greetings in English, and then Dong Fangzhuo presented a red No. 9 jersey of the Chinese team, with a line of text: "To the great Mandela." ”

Then, Dong Fangzhuo also took out headphones and listened to a song for Mandela.

"Glory Days" is an ode to freedom by Hong Kong rock singer Wong Ka Kui to Nelson Mandela, the black human rights spiritual leader in South Africa.

Since the 50s of the 20 th century, political movements against racial discrimination and for democracy and peace have flourished in the world. These progressive movements inevitably suffered minor failures, and the black South African leader, Nelson Mandela, was imprisoned for 15 years before being released in 1988 after a grueling struggle. After his release from prison, Mandela continued to lead South Africa's anti-racism movement, eventually becoming South Africa's first black president in 1990. Marks the final victory in this struggle. Jiaju used this song to pay tribute to the black leader Mandela, sang the praises of Mandela's great and glorious life, and fully expressed his disgust and hatred for racial discrimination!

Music knows no borders, and although Mandela can't understand the lyrics, Dong Fangzhuo has always been his translator.

At this time, Mandela knew that there was a Chinese who had written a song for him!

He smiled heartily.

And Mandela also gave Dong Fangzhuo a gift in return, his autobiography autographed......

There is also a group photo of two people.

None of them talked about yesterday's game the whole time.

After leaving Mandela's place, many reporters had been waiting at the door of the hotel, wondering what Ms. Dong had talked about at Mandela's home.

Dong Fangzhuo did not refuse the interview.

"I just had a little over an hour of small talk with an old man."

"That's all."

"But, it's the honor of my life."
