    Their sighs All of this began to become unreal in Pei Wei's eyes and ears, and everything in front of him began to become blurry

    Why did you lose another ball?  Didn't we show off our might just now, overwhelming the French team and almost equalizing the score?  How could it become two goals behind?  Time, is there still time?  There are five minutes left, come on, we haven¡¯t lost yet, we still have a chance

    "Du¡ª¡ª" a sharp whistle passed through the sky, piercing Pei Wei's eardrums, waking him up.

    The French players on the field raised their hands high and cheered heartily, while the Chinese team members were slumped on the lawn one by one. They had exhausted their energy in the game and lost.  The current situation makes them feel extremely tired.

    Pei Wei finally determined that the game was over and the Chinese team had lost. He calmed down and turned to Benitez next to him with an apologetic smile: "Raphael, I'm sorry you are right."  , we should not blindly believe in our own abilities and launch attacks. Now not only did we fail to score a point, we also lost an extra goal difference. If you want to blame it, then blame me, it was me who interfered with your thoughts.  ¡±

    "No." Benitez shook his head: "You did not order me what to do as the boss It was your words that moved me, because I was indeed tempted by the bright prospect of tying France  ¡­I chose to take a risk, and since the risk didn¡¯t work out, we have to accept failure, but we didn¡¯t lose everything.¡±

    He patted Pei Wei on the shoulder: "Now, go comfort our young men. It was you and me who made the mistake. There is no need for these young men who have performed well to bear any responsibility. They need comfort."

    Pei Wei nodded, walked to the court with Benitez, and began to comfort the players one by one, pulling them up from the lawn, patting the soil on their bodies, and saying a few words of comfort.

    Jacquet walked up and extended his hand to Benitez: "The Chinese team performed very well. We were lucky to win I hope to meet you again in the knockout stage."

    Benitez held Jacquet's hand and shrugged: "The French team won based on strength. We will still go all out in the next games."

    The French players on the field took the initiative to exchange jerseys with the Chinese team players. While celebrating, the French fans in the stands also applauded the Chinese team players - the tenacious Chinese players not only won the support of their opponents.  Respect, and also won the respect of French fans.

    *********************************************

    In a later game, the Chinese team got bad news. The Danish team relied on the goals of two forwards Sander and Brian Laudrup to beat the South African team 2-1, and was tied with the French team.  Among the top two teams in the group, the Chinese team is at the bottom of the group due to one less goal difference.

    This result made Pei Wei even more regretful. Unexpectedly, the schedule had changed, and the result of the Danish team's game had also changed - historically, they should have been tied 1-1 by South Africa in the second round, but now they have not.  Winning, this means that the next game will soon become a life and death battle for the Chinese team.

    The Chinese team¡¯s second game was six days later, on June 18, when the Chinese team faced the South African team.

    In the next few days, the Chinese team has been resting at the station, recuperating and accumulating energy - they must use their best condition to welcome the South African team.

    In addition, news from each group came one after another. After Italy in Group B tied Chile 2-2 with only a penalty kick created by Baggio, in Group D, a bigger upset broke out. The seeded teams in the group  , Spain, the favorite to win the championship, was caught behind by Nigeria after taking the lead twice. A fatal mistake by veteran goalkeeper Zubizarreta allowed Nigeria to equalize the score for the second time, and Oliseh's thunderous long-range shot allowed Nigeria to equalize the score for the second time.  Nigeria miraculously defeated the Spanish team 3-2, and the African hero began to spread its wings.

    The Netherlands in Group E was tied by Belgium, which can be regarded as a minor upset, while other games were uneventful, and the recognized strong teams all won the final victory.

    After the first round of the World Cup, all four teams from Asia were wiped out. The Chinese team lost to the host France 1 to 3, which was considered a glorious defeat. South Korea was defeated by Mexico after scoring one goal in advance.  The ball was defeated, Japan and Iran also lost to Argentina and Yugoslavia by a score of 0 to 1 respectively. This result also made Asian football lose face.

    However, the performance of the Asian teams did not seem to be embarrassing. The Chinese team and the French team competed until the last moment. The South Korean team also suppressed the Mexican team on the scene after relying on the slightly lucky free kick.  Football heroHa Seok-joo was sent off for a stupid shove from behind, which made the Korean team fall into a trap.

    Failure, Japan lost only one goal against the powerful Argentinian team, and the Iranian team also only lost one goal to the European powerhouse Yugoslavia. Overall, the performance was quite remarkable.

    ¡°But football games are so cruel. No matter how well you play, as long as you lose, you won¡¯t get points.

    *********************************************

    After two days of rest, the physical strength of the Chinese team members gradually recovered. In any case, the Chinese team has prepared for the World Cup for more than a month, and their physical reserves are still sufficient. Although the competition against the French team was very intense,  After two days of resumption of training, the players' physical fitness gradually began to reach sufficient level, and their condition was slowly recovering.

    On June 15, Wan Junsheng, the head of the Chinese delegation, found Pei Wei. The AFC wanted to conduct an interview with the Chinese team, and Wan Junsheng wanted Pei Wei to go.

    "Why me?" Pei Wei was a little surprised: "I'm just a translator. You are the head of the delegation, and there is coach Benitez below. There is no way to talk about me."

    "You are more eloquent than me. Benitez is a foreigner and doesn't understand these twists and turns. It's best for you to go." Wan Jun said with a smile: "You are not just a translator, you are also our representative.  The group¡¯s external press officer.¡±

    "A monthly salary of one yuan allows me to do so many things? Be careful, I will sue your Football Association for violating the Labor Law." Pei Wei said dissatisfied.

    "Just deal with them for a while." Wan Jun said in a good-tempered voice: "Besides, isn't this a chance for you to shine?"

    "Forget it, just think that I sold my life to your Football Association." Pei Wei sighed and said: "Why did the AFC come to us? Aren't West Asian teams always their darlings? South Korea and Japan are in Asia.  The Football Association is also very optimistic about it, why did it think of us this time? "

    "Who wants us to play the best?" Wan Jun said with a smile: "Judging from the scene, we played the best. Now the whole Europe knows that there is a Chinese team in Asia that almost pushed France to a dead end  ¡­Can they not interview us?¡±

    "Well, for the sake of improving the status of Chinese football in the AFC, I will avoid the difficulty and say a few words to them." Pei Wei sighed: "Huh, the honor of Asian football depends on us.  China comes to get it!¡±

    Pei Wei has no good impression of the AFC, which is basically controlled by West Asians. Although the personal relationship between AFC Secretary-General Veerappan and Xu is not bad, Pei Wei hates this guy and does not care about it.  In addition, just for the sake of future generations, his shitty words at the Asian Cup held in China were enough to make Pei Wei want to go up and slap him a few times.

    Pei Wei also dislikes other people, including South Korea's Zheng Mongjun - he has always stubbornly believed that South Korea's semi-finals in the 2002 World Cup was more of a shame for Asian football than a so-called honor.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away

    Just like Liu Xiang won the first track and field gold medal for Asians in the Olympic Games, that is the pride of the Chinese people and has nothing to do with Asia - what contribution did other Asian countries have?  Why share this honor?

    Similarly, even if South Korea and Japan win the world championship, it has nothing to do with China - some so-called "elites" put their faces on it and talk about "Asia's honor", and be careful to stick to other people's butts.

    If Wan Junsheng knew Pei Wei's mentality, he would definitely not let Pei Wei accept this interview - what good words can a person with supremacy of nationalism say in such an interview?

    Of course, Pei Wei would not talk nonsense casually. After answering a few formulaic sentences, Pei Wei said the following sentences.

    "In the next game, we must win, because it is related to whether we can go further."

    "The first victory for an Asian team in this World Cup will be won by the Chinese team. Only the Chinese team can achieve this result."

    ¡°The Chinese team will fight for the honor of Asia. For the honor of Asia, the Chinese team will give everything.¡±

    Although these sentences always mention "the honor of Asia", the underlying meaning is very obvious: "Only we, China, can win honor for Asia! Other teams should do whatever they have to do."

    The AFC official broke into a cold sweat after hearing this. He didn't know what medicine Pei Wei had taken wrong, so he had to slightly modify Pei Wei's words so that he was not so sharp and handed it over.Go.

    After these words of Pei Wei were circulated, they caused an uproar, but that was what happened later.
