Chapter 235 National Carnival

That night, because the national football team qualified for the World Cup and qualified for the World Cup in Brazil, the entire land of China fell into a carnival.

The national football players who returned home overnight were warmly welcomed by thousands of fans at the Capital International Airport.

Although the national football team has a poor record and a bad image in the past few years, the entire football game has become the object of ridicule and ridicule by the Chinese people.

But as recognized as the world's largest sport, the attractiveness of football itself and the number of potential fans are unmatched by other sports.

Especially after Cheng Hai was born, continued to conquer European football, won numerous group and individual awards, broke countless records, led the national football team to the Asian Cup, and led the National Olympic team to the Olympic gold medal.

Everyone is no longer ashamed of playing football and watching football games. Especially among the young people, the number of people playing and watching football has increased dramatically, making the entire football game a popular sport across the country.

And this away defeat to South Korea, locking the first place in the group and qualifying from Asia in advance, has aroused the celebration of fans all over the country.

Fans waved national flags in bars, squares, schools, communities, streets and other places to celebrate and vent their excitement.

On the Internet, various websites were swamped by the news of the national football world preliminaries ahead of schedule, and many old fans excitedly searched for news posts to support and like them one by one.

"The national football team beat South Korea 4-2 away to advance to the World Cup in Brazil! "

"With 18 points, the national football team has locked in the first place in Group A of the Asian Top Ten Tournament of the World Preliminaries and qualified ahead of schedule. "

"2014 Brazil World Cup, the Chinese team is here! "

"Three passes and one shot, Cheng Hai made all four goals of the Huaguo team and led the team to advance to the World Cup in Brazil!" "

"Black whistle can't stop the Huaguo team, Cheng Hai leads his teammates to conquer South Korea! "

"The Hua Guo team qualified ahead of schedule and became the first non-host team in the world to qualify for the World Cup in Brazil!" "

Below the news on major websites, there are overwhelming comments from fans:

"We're out again!"

"With Cheng Hai here, it will definitely be impossible to lose a game, score a point, or score a goal this time!"

"Cheng Hai will definitely help the Hua Guo team create history."

"I'm so happy, I'm glad I was young in 02, and now I've grown up."

"The speech upstairs is full of connotations!"

"Yeah, I was ignorant in 02, and now Cheng Hai is born and led the Chinese team to the World Cup in Brazil. I am really happy."

"The Koreans are also fighting hard. It is comparable to 02, but it is useless. It still can't stop Cheng Hai, and it can't stop the national football team from qualifying ahead of schedule."

In addition to the carnival of the fans, in the capital market that ordinary people have not noticed, the stocks of major sports-related companies around the world have risen sharply.

Because the Hua Guo team has advanced to the World Cup, the orders of Hua Guo fans with a huge population base to buy sports goods will definitely usher in a long-term increase.

If the Chinese team makes a historic breakthrough in the World Cup in Brazil, and even creates good results, then the orders of these sporting goods companies will continue for a longer period of time.

……

The media from all over the world also made a lot of reports on the Chinese team qualifying from the Asian qualifiers. After all, this is the first team other than the host to qualify for the World Cup in Brazil.

"Cheng Hai led the Hua Guo team to a 4-2 away victory over South Korea and advanced to the World Cup in Brazil!" "

"Golden Globe winner Cheng Hai led the Hua Guo team to qualify for the Asian World Preliminaries ahead of schedule! "

"The Hua Guo team became the first team other than the host to qualify for the World Cup in Brazil!" "

"The Hua Guo team advanced to the Brazil World Cup ahead of schedule, and we will see Cheng Hai's performance on the stage of the World Cup. "

The media and fans from all over the world were not too surprised that the Chinese team qualified early from the Asian qualifiers and advanced to the World Cup in Brazil.

After all, the Hua Guo team has Cheng Hai, the number one football star in the world today, and has already won the Asian Cup and Olympic champions. It is unlikely that they will not even qualify in Asia.

It's just a little surprising to qualify so many rounds ahead of schedule and become the first non-host team to qualify for the World Cup in Brazil.

But in any case, this is just the qualifiers, and it is still the Asian qualifiers. European and American fans just pay a little more attention because of Cheng Hai's fame.

In fact, outside of Asia, the news of the Hua Guo team's promotion to the World Cup is not as hot as the draw for the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Later in the day when the Hua Guo team defeated South Korea and advanced to the World Cup in Brazil, the draw ceremony for the quarter-finals of the 2012/2013 UEFA Champions League was held at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.

In the end, Dortmund and Real Madrid drew the upper lottery.

The opponents in the four quarter-finals are Borussia Dortmund VS Malaga, Real Madrid VS Galatasaray, Paris Saint-Germain VS Barcelona, ​​Bayern Munich VS Juventus.

Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund are hardly in question.

Although Málaga is full of dark horse looks, it is almost impossible to continue to stage a dark horse miracle when it meets the six-time champion universe team led by the world's number one superstar Cheng Hai.

On the contrary, Galatasaray, as a frequent visitor to the Champions League, has rich experience and may have a little chance of overturning Real Madrid.

As for the head coaches of Bayern Munich and Juventus, their faces turned black.

There is no doubt that this is the most anticipated strong dialogue in the quarter-finals.For the teams involved, it is a game with no confidence at all.

But no matter whether you are happy or frustrated, the draw ceremony has been completed and the result is doomed. Everyone can only start preparing for the quarter-finals.

In China, I held a celebration meeting with my teammates, the leaders of the Football Committee and the General Administration of Sports, and met with the media and fans to celebrate. It took two full days.

On March 3, just before the start of the match, Cheng Hai left for Germany from Beiping, and he did not return to Dortmund, but flew directly to Stuttgart for the next round of the match.

On March 2013, 3, in the 30th round of the Bundesliga, Dortmund challenged Stuttgart away.

In this game, Cheng Hai did not start again, but sat on the bench.

On the one hand, it was because Cheng Hai had just participated in the national team competition, flew from Germany to East Asia and back, and his energy was low during the long-distance flight.

On the other hand, it is because the next game is the first round of the Champions League quarter-finals with Malaga, and it is still an away game.

With a huge lead in the league, Klopp naturally hopes that Cheng Hai will face Malaga in a more energetic state instead of fighting fatigue in this league.

The reason for letting Cheng Hai sit on the bench is just to let him come on the bench at the end to find a rhythm to cooperate with his teammates.
