    Chapter 215 We qualified!

    This penalty by the referee once again illustrates one thing - in this top ten competition, there is no conspiracy specifically against the Chinese team - the West Asian brothers themselves are fighting among themselves, Iran wins Qatar, Qatar wins  Kuwait, Kuwait beats Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia beats Iran, everyone is planning for themselves and does not consider any "brotherhood".  And the referees in all games are basically fair. At least there are no hugely controversial penalties in so many games. Even if some penalties are questionable, they are within the allowable range, which can be regarded as an anomaly.  Fair World Cup qualifiers.

    This can be seen from the reasons historically given by the Chinese Football Association after the Chinese team was eliminated from the World Cup: the last reason given was that we were originally the "second-rate team in Asia" and it was natural that we would not qualify.

    We can imagine the embarrassment of the Football Association at that time - no external reasons could be found, and in the end they could only blame the national team members - the "second-rate players in Asia" were naturally not qualified to go to the World Cup.  , it¡¯s not that we don¡¯t work hard.

    Judging from the evaluation, the label of "Asia's second-rate" seems to be correct. The Chinese team did not lose due to behind-the-scenes deals or the referee's dirty hands, but lost on themselves.

    First-class players, second-rate external environment, third-rate psychological quality, and substandard Football Association - directly caused the tragedy of the strongest national team in history.

    From shouting "seven wins and one draw to qualify" before the start of the top ten games, to pessimistically saying "there is no chance" after one loss and one draw, the Chinese national team, from Football Association officials to reporters and media, has been calculating and calculating all day long.  , suspiciously thinking that others would plot against oneself, but in the end one was plotted against oneself.

    But none of this will happen again.  The national team no longer needs to be insulted by the evaluation of "Asia's second-rate", and fans do not need to stay up all night in pain and write the classic article "Dalian Golden State Doesn't Believe in Tears" - I believe in all fans, including those who wrote "  The author of "Dalian Jinzhou Don't Believe in Tears" would rather this classic not appear.

    "Penalty kick! In the 21st minute of the second half, the Chinese team won a penalty kick!" Wong Tai Sin shouted excitedly, ignoring the almost murderous look in the eyes of his Saudi counterpart in the studio next to him: "Score this penalty kick and make the score better.  It lasted until the end, and we entered the World Cup one round ahead of schedule! The referee showed Dayaya a yellow card. In my opinion, the yellow card was too light a penalty! He committed the foul when Gao Feng had a chance to score!  It's not an exaggeration to give a red card! Now let's see who takes the penalty kick for the Chinese team It's not the captain, General Fan! It's Nie Fei who just turned 20 this year! He stood at the penalty spot.  General Fan didn't step forward at all! Nie Fei is Yunjia Tianyu's first penalty kicker, and he also takes all the penalty kicks in the team, and there is no penalty record yet! But this is the top ten game after all!  It¡¯s a competition, not a league. Can young Nie Fei bear this pressure?¡±

    Pei Wei looked at Nie Fei standing in front of the ball with full confidence. Pei Wei could not have more confidence in this core midfielder who he single-handedly promoted from the second team. This player never seemed to know what nervousness was.  .  When he played for Yunjia Tianyu for the first time, he didn't have any nervousness. When he played for the national team for the first time, he acted as if he had been playing for the national team for a lifetime - he was even more mature than Sun Chenghai.  For such a player, what else does Pei Wei have to worry about?

    But what Pei Wei didn't know was that Nie Fei didn't know what nervousness was.  But he thinks there is no need to be nervous at all - for Nie Fei, football is work, fun and killing time.  He plays with a completely playful mentality - when have you ever seen someone who is nervous even while playing?  If anything, it can only mean that this person is not very normal.

    It was also Pei Wei's idea to let Nie Fei take the penalty kick. Historically, General Fan failed to score this penalty kick, which ruined the last hope of the Chinese team. Although now the Chinese team can directly advance even if it draws with history.  World Cup, but Pei Wei hopes to resolve the battle earlier.

    Chinese fans have waited too long. Even if it comes six days earlier, it will make them happy for six more days.

    But even if he is very effective in speaking in the national team now - even Wan Junsheng, the head of the Football Association team, is not as effective as him - but he wants to move General Fan.  It's not that easy.

    In the past, former head coach Qi Dashuai had no choice but to make General Fan the candidate to take penalty kicks. After "penalty kick expert" Mai Chao retired from the national team, the Chinese team could no longer find a stable and reliable penalty kicker.  There are not many players with good skills as penalty takers, and there are even fewer players with good psychological quality than the Pandas. When they competed in the World Cup in 1993, Hao Dong once missed a penalty kick, and he was the best among the dwarfs.  General Fan¡¯s psychological quality is?A good one.  Who can be used if he is not needed?  Moreover, General Fan also scored a penalty kick in the first round against Iran. How can General Fan be convinced now that he has been replaced for no reason?  Could it be that Pei Wei told General Fan: "You will definitely miss a penalty kick in this game" It would be strange if General Fan who got angry didn't beat Pei Wei.

    So this is how Pei Wei persuaded General Fan. He went directly to General Fan: "Old Fan, if there is a penalty kick in the next game, how about letting Nie Fei take the penalty?"

    General Fan naturally refused: "Why, I was the one who took the penalty kick before, why should I be replaced?"

    Pei Wei smiled slightly. He had expected General Fan's reaction, so he was not angry: "I think Nie Fei's penalty kick is better than yours. How about, let's make a bet. If you win the penalty kick, I will continue to let you  Take the penalty kick. At the same time, after the top ten games, I will set up twenty tables in Shanghai to accompany you. If you are familiar with it, I will not ask for anything. I will just hand over the right to take the penalty kick How about this?  It¡¯s not a loss, right?¡±

    "Okay, is this a bet?" General Fan agreed immediately.

    The betting method was very fair. Each player took ten penalty kicks and took them at the same time. Nie Fei faced the national team's first goalkeeper Ou Chuliang for the first five penalty kicks, and General Fan faced the second goalkeeper Jiang Hai. Five penalty kicks were completed.  Then the goalkeepers were changed, Nie Fei faced Jiang Hai, and General Fan faced Ou Chuliang.  Whoever scores more goals in the end wins.

    General Fan was very satisfied with this method, and then he asked another question: "What if it's a tie? Is it going to be overtime?"

    "No, you win even if it's a draw." Pei Wei generously gave in another step.

    This unique bet attracted everyone's interest. All the national players gathered together and watched the game between the two sides with great interest. Gao Feng even acted as the croupier in the casino: "Come on, let's place the bet, beat Nie Fei."  If you win, go to the left. General Fan will win and go to the right!"

    Almost everyone suppressed General Fan - they still had confidence in General Fan's psychological quality, but it was not that no one suppressed Nie Fei. There were three people who suppressed Nie Fei, Hao Dong, Sun Chenghai, and Yang Tian, ??all Nie Fei.  Teammate of Yunjia Tianyu.

    As teammates, they are very aware of Nie Fei's shooting accuracy and psychological quality.

    General Fan scored four goals in the first five rounds, and one hit the goalpost. This is already a very good result.  When the two goalkeepers changed positions, he glanced triumphantly over there, and then Sun Chenghai ran up and told him that Nie Fei hit five out of five shots.

    It was Hao Dong who instigated Sun Chenghai to say this, just to disturb General Fan's mind. As an old enemy, Hao Dong was very happy to see General Fan embarrassed.

    ??????????????????? Next, General Fan, who was severely psychologically affected, only scored three of the five penalty kicks. Nie Fei once again hit five of five shots. Ten to seven, Nie Fei won without any doubt.  This is how Nie Fei stood in front of the ball today.

    By scoring this penalty, we can enter the World Cup - anyone else would have felt nervous at this moment, but Nie Fei didn't.

    He easily scored the penalty kick in the most elegant and most frightening way for his teammates: a spoon penalty kick!

    Dai Yayaya completely misjudged the direction. He couldn't believe that anyone dared to do such a trick at this time, but Nie Fei did it.  Play very coolly and cleanly.

    The Chinese team, which was leading 2 to 1, played more easily. Benitez also frequently mobilized his troops off the court to delay the future. However, the Saudis were still very tenacious. In the 81st minute of the game, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was in the penalty area.  Nei brilliantly got rid of Xu Hong and faced Ou Chuliang directly. General Fan, who hurriedly returned to defense, made a fierce collision from the side and knocked Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to the ground. The referee's whistle immediately sounded - a penalty kick.  The referee also awarded the Saudi team a penalty kick!

    "Oops. Penalty kick! The referee awarded a penalty kick to the Saudi team! General Fan hit too hard. If he had been lighter, he could have interfered with the opponent. And it would not have caused a foul If this game ends in a tie,  Our qualifying celebration has to be postponed againbut it doesn't matter, it seems it would be more meaningful to celebrate qualifying at home" Wong Tai Sin said regretfully.

    Ou Chuliang stood in front of the door, very relaxed.

    He knows that even if the opponent scores the penalty kick, the Chinese team will still not have a big problem - as long as they get one point in this game, the Chinese team can still defeat Kuwait in the final round and directly enter the World Cup.

    Pei Wei told him before the game that when facing a penalty kick, the player who takes the penalty is always more nervous than the goalkeeper - because the goalkeeper has no responsibility if he can't save it. If he can't kick it in, then all the responsibility lies with him.  on the head.

    Kareem Abdul-Jabbar personally took the penalty kick, but he was obviously not as relaxed as Nie Fei. He would not dare to take a shot like this.

    He chose to push the lower left corner, but this pointAlthough the angle of the ball was very tricky, the speed was not very fast. Ou Chuliang's body jumped up like a spring, he accurately judged the direction, fell to the ground and hugged the ball tightly with both hands!

    "Beautiful! Ou Chuliang saved Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's penalty kick beautifully! And he still threw it in his arms, without giving the Saudis any chance to make up the shot! Even the corner kick was not given to the opponent! Ou Chuliang, he inherited  The excellent tradition of Chinese goalkeepers! Zhang Junxiu, Li Fusheng, and Fu Yubin were possessed by their souls at this moment! This reminds me of the match between the Chinese team and the then Asian hegemon Kuwait in the 1981 World Cup qualifiers!  A penalty kick was awarded, but Li Fusheng, the main goalkeeper of the national team at the time, saved the penalty kick, which led to the subsequent three-goal victory! That was the closest the Chinese team had ever come to the World Cup. Please remember,  It was the Saudi team that let loose in the final game and lost five goals to the New Zealand team that caused us to miss the World Cup in Spain! Saudi team, please pay your debt to history!¡±

    The Chinese fans who were watching the game on the TV late at night did not hear his roar. When Ou Chuliang saved the penalty kick, they all roared crazier than when Nie Fei scored the penalty kick just now.  I don't care about disturbing other people - to put it simply, China at two o'clock in the evening today is more lively than during the Chinese New Year!

    During the Chinese New Year, the busiest time is only around midnight. At two o'clock, most people go to bed - nowhere like now, the whole land of China is boiling!

    Ou Chuliang climbed up and clamped the ball tightly under his left armpit, swung his right hand upwards, and then roared loudly. The other Chinese team members swarmed around Ou Chuliang and celebrated crazily.  It¡¯s the desperate Saudi team members.

    The missed penalty kick caused the Saudi team's last psychological defense to collapse - they couldn't even score a penalty kick. Can they still win this game?

    In the next game, the Saudi team was completely out of order. They couldn't attack or defend. They just want to end this damn game as soon as possible.

    But the Chinese team doesn¡¯t want to let this opponent go easily. Beating up a lost dog is something everyone is happy to do.

    Hao Dong scored his second goal of the game. After receiving a long pass from the high school, he used his personal skills to pass two people in the Saudi team's penalty area and volleyed to break the net - this was also his first goal in the tenth season.  The fifth goal in the strong match ranked him first in the scorer list of Group A, surpassing his teammate Gao Feng, and only one goal less than the top scorer of the other group, South Korea's Choi Yong-soo.

    This goal completely established the Chinese team¡¯s victory, and also meant that the Chinese team entered the finals of the World Cup in France one round ahead of schedule!

    Forty years of waiting, forty years of impact, finally got the perfect result today!

    When the referee blew the final whistle, all the Chinese players present raised their hands high to celebrate their victory!

    "We we qualified! Three to one, the Chinese team defeated the Saudi team in the away game and reached 14 points, while the Saudi and Iranian teams could only get 13 points at most We rushed in one round early.  France World Cup!¡±

    There were two lines of tears shed on Huang Taixian's face, and when the domestic fans saw the five characters "We have qualified" printed on the screen by CCTV, their eyes also filled with tears!
