Volume 4 World Cup Legends Chapter 10 Mourning is greater than death
Camacho touched the dust of Li Huan's nose here, and went back to China to prepare for the sixth round of the top 10 competition, when Li Huan came down from the second floor, many reporters who were ambushed in the Great Wall restaurant immediately rushed up and surrounded Li Huan.
"Mr. Li Huan, hello, may I ask why you came out alone, where is Mr. Camacho?"
"Li Huan, what did you talk about with Mr. Camacho?"
"Did Mr. Camacho invite you to the World Cup? Did you say yes? β
"Mr. Li Huan......"......
Li Huan's head was a little big, he couldn't figure out that these reporters were so powerful, they were all waiting here, Li Huan didn't want to talk to reporters on this issue, "I'm sorry, please ask Mr. Camacho, what we talked about, he will tell you, I still have something, please get out of the way." After Li Huan finished speaking, he left in a hurry under the protection of the two bodyguards, shadows and smoking guns, completely ignoring his words, and made Camacho who came out later embarrassed by reporters.
After Li Huan returned from the Bernabeu, the World Cup qualifiers started again, the team was on holiday again, and the league was very fragmented by the national team competition, which made the club and the head coach very angry, but they had no choice but to obey FIFA's arrangement.
Li Huan did not return to China during the holiday, his private flight driver's license has been learned to the last level, and he can get his driver's license at the end of this month, Li Huan is looking at various private jets, he hopes to be able to have a private jet of his own after getting his driver's license, because Christmas is coming, Li Huan wants to drive a private jet to Munich to pick up his daughter Li Meng to Spain for her 4-year-old life, and his daughter has not seen the palace villa he bought.
On November 15th, the 6th round of Group A of the Asian Zone of the World Cup Qualifiers kicked off, with the Chinese team facing the team away and Uzbekistan facing Australia at home, and the team had a bye. Prior to this match, Australia and Zoben had 13 points, China 6 points, Uzbekistan 6 points, and Qatar 3 points. Ben and Australia are in the best situation, but they still can't guarantee qualification, Qatar is the most dangerous, but they also have the opportunity to win the third place in the group and play the play-offs, no one is out, and no one dares to take it lightly.
The Chinese team does not need to be mobilized to play the Qatar team, and the Chinese team is particularly energetic in playing Qatar, because this small West Asian country that is not as big as China, a prefecture-level city, has given the Chinese team too many black memories, and every time the Chinese team fails to hit the World Cup, it is almost closely related to them.
Today's game the Chinese team has reached the edge of the cliff, they must win to hope to get the top two in the group to qualify directly, if the home loss, they must look at the relationship between Uzbekistan and Australia, if Uzbekistan wins, the Chinese team is even in danger of third, if Uzbekistan also loses or draws, the Chinese team has a chance to compete for the third.
In order to take their destiny into their own hands, the Chinese team must win.
The huge pressure before the game overwhelmed the Chinese team, and the media frequently used words such as the final battle to describe the importance of the game, and fans also abandoned their previous suspicions to cheer for the Chinese team.
It may be that the game is too important, the players of the Chinese team want to push forward suddenly when they get the ball, it is always a rhythm, a brave sprint, and they can't wait to poke a big hole in the body of the goalkeeper of Qatar so that they can stuff the ball in, but Qatar has shown a very good temperament in the competition, just like playing unhurried in Dalian Golden State, defending intensively in the backfield, and constantly stimulating the nerves of the Chinese team with counterattacks, so that the Chinese team can't find a place to vent.
Soon the Qatar team scored first, and then the anxious Chinese team attacked more ferociously, but the style of play was more messy, the Qatari team soon scored again, and then they began to play defensive counterattacks, holding on to the 2:0 victory, although the Chinese team had scored a goal, but the Qataris were not panicked, still intensively defended, and finally the Chinese team was unable to return to the sky, and was attacked by the Qataris again, and finally lost 0:3 away.
The Qatar team beat the Chinese team twice, with 6 points and the same as the Chinese team. Then came the news from Uzbekistan that the Chinese team's rival Uzbekistan won the upset at home, they defeated Australia 1:0, accumulated 9 points and surpassed the Chinese team in one fell swoop, and took the lead in the competition for the third place in the group, and the Chinese team has fallen to the bottom position, and the hope of qualifying is very slim.
Half an hour after the end of the game, the fans who went to Qatar to help were still reluctant to leave for a long time in the cold rain, and they didn't even chant "Camacho is out of class" and "the Chinese Football Association is disbanded", and they were not in the mood. In Beijing, Shanghai and other places, fans rushed to the streets in the middle of the night, chanting "Camacho is out of class", "the Chinese Football Association is disbanded", the political axe was worried that there would be something that would affect harmony, and sent the police to persuade the fans to leave the scene, but it is said that because of the rough law enforcement by the police, there were physical clashes between fans and police, and two police cars were also overturned.
After nearly 20 years of professional league edification, the Chinese media and fans are no longer naΓ―ve, no longer regard failure as the responsibility of players and coaches, they understand that this is a problem with the whole system, and their goal is directly aimed at the Chinese Football Association, demanding the establishment of a professional league. At this time, the fans didn't even have the desire to call Li Huan to join the national team, because in this case, even if Li Huan came, it wouldn't play a big role, because fate was no longer in the hands of the Chinese team.
China's famous "Football Daily" lamented after the game: "16 years ago, we couldn't win Qatar, and now we still can't win, after 16 years of professional football, the team has changed from the second rate in Asia to the second rate in the world, and China has changed from the quasi-first-class in Asia to the second-rate in Asia, whose fault is this, is it the fans or the players, or the decision-makers of the Chinese Football Association." I think even the stupidest fans will be able to know who the culprit is.
After this game with Qatar, the Chinese team basically has no hope of qualifying, we have to play away from home to Uzbekistan in the next two rounds, there is little hope of winning, even if they all win, it depends on the face of Qatar, if they also win the last two, the Chinese team can still only be fourth.
Now we should no longer think about the World Cup, stop thinking that Li Huan can save Chinese football, now the important thing is to learn from the pain, start from the basics, start from the roots, otherwise the Chinese team will never be able to break out of Asia and go to the world. β
"Weekly" reporter Jia Lei also commented on the failure of the Chinese team in Qatar, "The Chinese team lost again, after four consecutive defeats, the Chinese team has made the best start all bad, and it is most appropriate to describe the current Chinese team with nine deaths, but now the Chinese team wants to win the third place in the group, and needs to win the team that has never won in the World Cup qualifiers since 92 years, or away, and needs to win against the direct rival Uzbekistan, and Qatar cannot win all." This condition is too harsh, and Camacho's Chinese team's fragile psychology can no longer bear the weight of the responsibility of hundreds of millions of fans. They are basically brain dead and just waiting for the doctor to announce it.
Of course, it's not that there is no chance at all, if the Chinese Football Association can agree to Li Huan's three chapters of the law, take a risk, maybe there is a glimmer of hope, now is the time to test the Chinese Football Association, if they can put down their face for the face of Chinese fans, and put down their power for the happiness of Chinese fans, maybe Li Huan will give everyone a surprise, the majority of fans should know that Li Huan is not an indifferent person, he is not an unpatriotic person, over the years, There are at least a dozen countries that have invited him to join other nationalities to play in the World Cup, and the price has exceeded one billion euros, but Li Huan has never agreed. In recent years, he has set up the Daystar Football School out of his own pocket to cultivate talents for Chinese football, and he is the real backbone of Chinese football, and those who shout patriotic slogans are just some shameful speculators. β
Huang, who has left the system and is a freelancer, also criticized the Chinese team on his Weibo for suffering from impotence, unable to stand up at a critical moment, and losing to Qatar is purely a psychological problem, not a technical problem, which has plagued China for more than ten years, but has not been solved.
Huang believes that Chinese players are either blindly arrogant, or blindly inferior, lack of self-confidence, he believes that if the Chinese team wants to succeed, it must inject the factor of success, just cursing the Football Association, and it is useless to dissolve the Football Association, although the Football Association is really brainless and very 2b.
After this game, a reporter also interviewed Li Huan, although Li Huan was silent, but he was disgusted by the Chinese team's two home and away losses to Qatar, and he made a one-sentence comment on the Chinese team, "If they can qualify, it is simply an insult to science." β
The 7th round of the World Cup Asian Qualifiers will be held in March 2013, the current situation of the Chinese team is like a person who has fallen into a well, only a pair of ears are still hanging on the side of the well, most fans regard them as dead people, after the game with Qatar, everyone is still angry to vent, and then no one cares about Chinese football anymore, mourning is greater than death, anger is not terrible, terrible indifference. After more than ten years of disappointment, the Chinese Football Association and football are still the same, and finally the fans lost patience, they gave up on Chinese football, turned their attention to the five major European leagues, and pinned their feelings on foreign teams.
A month later, only one ticket was sold for the warm-up match between the Chinese team and Ukraine, and the Football Association had no choice but to find students to pretend to be fans. The Chinese Football Association and players desperately squeezed money out of football regardless of the interests of the fans, and finally all football practitioners could no longer make money from it.
