The live broadcast ended, and the footage was handed to the rear.

Li Liang wanted to say goodbye to everyone and go to the locker room to meet his teammates, but Xue Yang grabbed him: "Liangzi, this will be chaotic, the national team will not be able to leave for a while, let's talk for a while and then go down"

Watching the players of the Iranian team go around the stadium like heroes to accept the cheers and worship of the audience, He Wei said lonely: "Although I have long known that this is likely to be the result again, but after winning the last game against South Korea, I am excited again."

I was expecting to get at least one point away today, so maybe we have a chance to fight for the second ...... in the final round."

Xue Yang also smiled bitterly: "Since we started at that time, or I have an impression, especially in such a critical game, it seems that we will always encounter all kinds of unexpected accidents on the field, but we are always the one who suffers."

After retiring from talking about the ball for so many years, now I finally understand that fate will never sympathize with the weak, and luck is also part of strength, in the final analysis, it is our strength that is not good. ”

He Wei's eyes were red, and he sighed and said: "This is like a child who is not angry, no matter how bad his grades are, no matter how bad his performance is in school, no matter how much trouble he causes you, he is always your child!"

Can we do without our own children?

In the same way, no matter how disappointed and scolded I am, this is still Chinese football, at least I will continue to support the Chinese team next time. ”

Li conscience is like a knife, watching his team's own teammates fighting bloody on the field, and he can only be a spectator, this kind of taste makes him unacceptable at all.

He Wei was silent for a while and suddenly asked, "Liangzi, let's talk about our hearts as our own people at this time."

Can you tell me if it would have been different if you had come up today? ”

Xue Yang obviously also wanted to know Li Liang's thoughts, and he said solemnly: "Liangzi, don't worry, you Brother He Wei and I will definitely not go everywhere, this is the talk between us!" ”

Li Liang said in a low voice: "Everyone is really working hard today, and almost all the arrangements arranged by Coach Lippi have been played."

In fact, our opportunity was to defend in the first half, and we rushed to attack at the beginning of the second half, and we were prepared for the situation of conceding the ball first, but unfortunately Wu Dong was injured and used up the third substitution opportunity, and it was difficult to adjust later.

No matter how good I am, I am also a member of the team, and if I want to win, I still have to rely on the overall performance......

However, if I can play today, I want to win even if I die on the field! ”

He Wei stared at Li Liang tightly, repeatedly wording in his heart, and he finally spoke: "Liangzi, when I talked to everyone about you, I always felt that you were sometimes too honest? ”

Li Liang was stunned, not knowing why He Wei said this.

He Wei's tone gradually intensified: "In his first season at Monaco, he played the main team, and he scored key goals and assists in the league, cup, and Champions League knockout rounds, and broke the goals of Paris, Tottenham, Lyon and Manchester City.

Any Asian player with such a performance can 'walk sideways' on the field against any opponent he faces in this World Preliminary Tournament! ”

Li Liang immediately understood that He Wei was talking about himself!

The more He Wei said, the more excited he became: "Liangzi, whole, whole, whole!?"

Do you know? Relying on the whole, we almost couldn't even make it to the top 12 this time.

The gap is all-round, we have long been left behind by the first-class teams in Asia, and it is difficult to have an absolute chance of winning against second-rate or even third-rate teams in Asia.

We relied on good luck to stumble into the round of 12, in fact, scolding is scolding, but who doesn't know that the bottom of the group is our real strength?

Now that Coach Lippi is here, he has barely dragged us to the quasi-second-rate level in Asia, but if it depends on the whole as you said, we don't have to think about it after the top 12 this time, it must be cold! ”

Li Liang looked at He Wei in surprise, this famous mouth with a calm and rational commentary style and a clear literary youth in his impression was so sharp!

He Wei continued: "Liangzi, this loss, I will definitely accept my fate in the past - I think maybe at least 99% of the fans will think the same way."

Now I think we have a silver lining......"

Saying this, He Wei was silent, and stared at Li Liang tightly with Xue Yang.

At the Azadi Sports Center, which was celebrating the victory, Li Liang frowned and pondered He Wei's words.

I started playing football from a keyboard warrior who understands the ball, purely because I was unlucky to meet this system that is ready to "kill myself", and if I don't play, I will die.

In order to survive, he started practicing from a 25-year-old but powerless otaku, and met Xiaoyu and Big Bear by mistake.

After a long time, I realized that the system not only gave me a 17-year-old physical state, but also made me fall in love with Xiaoyu at first sight like a 17-year-old ignorant teenager.

From that moment on, football had a new impetus for itself.

In his senior year, Li Liang accidentally read Abraham Maslow's "Human Motivation Theory" paper, which proposed that people's needs are divided into five types from low to high levels like a ladder.

Playing football in order to survive echoes the two lowest levels of Maslow's needs theory – the need to survive and security.

Encountering Xiaoyu activated himself to the third level and began to pursue love and belonging.

Gradually, I seem to have started to really like football, and no matter how hard I train and play, I will not feel afraid, but will bring more and more sincere happiness and touch.

From the twists and turns of the Hurricanes' selection game, to the Manchester City base from being treated like a circus clown, and then won everyone's respect with his amazing performance, and even got the opportunity to compete with Ronaldo!

He still remembers the midfield of that charity match, the almost fancy free kick competition, Ronaldo went from not caring to going all out, and of course remembering what Ronaldo said to himself.

Including the first time he was a sparring partner for the national team in the Silver Dragons, and then finally signed with Monaco, that period of hard persistence and waiting, he finally got the fourth level of "respect".

So, from his first appearance in an official match in Istanbul, until now, why are you here, in the stands of the Azadi Sports Complex in Tehran?

What is the point of living, finding love, and being respected?

Is it the fifth level, the highest level of human need – self-actualization?

Is it the same thing that has always made me still feel like a 17-year-old boy with the same enthusiasm, the same tears, and the courage to work hard for his dreams?

Li Liang blurted out: "Brother He Wei, are you saying that we still have a chance?!" ”

He Wei said slowly: "Liangzi, it's our chance, and it's also your chance!"

In such a difficult situation, you have to step up for the remaining three games and there is no one else to replace you.

You have to believe that you are the number one in Asia now, and you are going to be the king of the ball!

You are going to beat Uzbekistan with the king of the ball, defeat Syria and defeat Qatar!

If we make it to the play-offs, you'll have to face Australia and even the fourth place finish!

We can only do this if you are truly the king of the ball on the pitch! ”

Li Liang was dumbfounded.

I asked myself the same question, and my answer at that time was-

I don't want to be the king of the ball.

Xue Yang also said solemnly: "Indeed, we can't think of other possibilities for miracles to happen except for this.

It's heavy, it's hard, but you have to carry it all on your shoulders, it's time—"

————————

Li Liang walked through the excited crowd and with the help of security guards towards the visiting team's locker room.

Until the door of the silent locker room, the words of He Wei and Xue Yang kept echoing in his ears.

Li Liang gritted his teeth and knocked on the door of the locker room.
