    Lee - From this point of view, the Chinese team is much luckier than their old enemy South Korea. They have participated in four consecutive World Cups including this World Cup, but they are still struggling to win a victory. Their group  The opponent in the second round of the tournament is the powerful Dutch team. It seems that the time for their first World Cup victory will be extended.

    All fans know that the chance of the Korean team to beat the Dutch team is very slim, but except for Pei Wei, no one thought that the Korean team would lose so embarrassingly - their proud physical superiority and tenacious fighting spirit are so strong in the Dutch team.  They were completely defeated in front of the overall strength. They were chasing the ball throughout the game, but the ball was firmly controlled by the Dutch team throughout the game. While a lot of their energy was consumed, the Dutch goals also came one after another.  , Cocu, Overmars, Bergkamp, ??Hoydonk, Franco De Boer's five goals completely pushed the Korean team into the abyss, becoming the first Asian team to be eliminated.  At the same time, it also allowed the Dutch team to gain enough goal difference. In the last game, they could only fight for honor.

    The Iranian team became the second Asian team to win. They defeated the United States 2-1 in the second round. Madavekia's goal in the 84th minute sealed the victory for them.  In the final round, they had to defeat the powerful German team to qualify from the group, but no matter what, they still retained a glimmer of hope.

    However, the focus of this game was not on the field. Before kick-off, Iranian and American players mingled and took pictures, which closely linked football and peace. From this perspective, this scene seemed more important than the final score.  Be able to be remembered.

    After South Korea, Japan was also eliminated - they lost to Croatia again with a score of zero to one. Suker's goal not only allowed the team to qualify early, but also allowed the Japanese team to exit early. The situation of this group is probably  The most obvious thing is that Argentina and Croatia have both qualified after two rounds. The last round of competition is just a competition for ranking.

    Now it seems that among the four Asian teams, the only one with the best hope of entering the top 16 is the Chinese team. South Korea and Japan have been eliminated early. Although Iran still has hope, it is still very difficult to win against the German team.  Although Germany has been on a decline in recent years, their strong strength is still not something that Asian teams can shake. The Iranian team has very little hope of qualifying.

    Although the Danish team is also a relatively strong team in Europe, it is still far behind Germany. The Chinese team is not without hope.

    But is the Danish team really that easy to deal with?

    Six years have passed since the Danish myth of 1992, but the main players of the Danish team, the creators of that myth, are still there, including goalkeeper Schmeichel, midfielder Michel Laudrup and forward Brian Laudrup.  Still maintaining their own form, the addition of a group of rookies such as Jorgensen and Sander also enriched their strength. Laudrup, who had originally decided to retire, returned before the start of the World Cup to increase their midfield strength. They are  The biggest stone lying on the road for the Chinese team to qualify for the group stage.

    There is no limit to people's hearts. Originally, Pei Wei didn't have much hope for the Chinese team to qualify for the group stage. He knew that there was a champion among the opponents in this group, a top eight team. But now, as long as they win,  If you beat your opponent, you will definitely qualify. If you draw your opponent, you can also gamble on your luck by drawing lots.  No matter who it is, they will start to face this problem: we really have hope of entering the top 16!  If they can enter the top 16, then this result will have tied North Korea with 66 (they also qualified in the group at that time, but there were fewer teams at the time, and qualifying in the group was the quarterfinals) and Saudi Arabia in the last year, becoming the best player in this World Cup.  The most brilliant Asian team!

    "Pei! You have to keep a normal mind! You must know that your attitude will affect the players! Against the Danish team, we must play with a normal mind, just like we played against France Do you understand?"  Benitez had to remind Pei Wei.

    "I understand." Pei Wei said distressedly: "But I don't know how to control myself Rafael, do you know, what does qualifying for the World Cup group mean to us? We have already done it by scoring goals in the World Cup.  , we did it and won. Qualifying in the group is our first goal now. This goal is right in front of us. I can¡¯t control myself from being excited!¡±

    "As a fan, of course you can be as excited as you want! But you are not a fan now. You are one of the coaches of the national team, and your performance is the benchmark for player behavior!" Benitez said sternly:  "Every move you make will be seen by the players. If you get excited, they will get excited too, and then they will lose the most important sense of normalcy on the court! Do you know why we were able to play so well against France?  Because they are playing under pressure, and we?? did not

    Mai is stronger than us. If we were under pressure first, we would have lost more than half of the game before it started!  "

    Benitez's words surprised Pei Weiran. Indeed, after becoming a member of the national team, he used such emotions to influence the players of the national team more from the perspective of a fan. Although this approach made  The players have a stronger sense of responsibility and a stronger desire to win, but unknowingly, the players also start to become extreme!

    As fans, it is natural to shout slogans such as "win or die" and "must qualify", but players cannot think like this. Overdoing anything is not a good thing. It is helpful to keep calm without losing excitement.  Players develop stronger abilities.

    "I understand." Pei Wei nodded and re-examined himself: "Let me do the ideological work for the players."

    At this moment, he returned to the boss Pei Wei, the boss who was calm and calm yet passionate and motivated, instead of the fanatical football fan Pei Wei - the qualities needed for an excellent soldier are to fight bravely and never leave his comrades.  Never give up, and the quality required of a good commander is to be calm and courageous, and dare to give up at critical moments. Football and war always have something in common.

    In the next few days, Pei Wei was like a neighborhood committee aunt, constantly chatting with the players one by one. Was the conversation probably about eating?  How is the child?  Are you getting used to this period of time?  We played very well this time. Everyone will praise us when we return to China. As long as we play to our own level, no matter what the result is, we are all heroes. Don't be burdened, really don't be burdened, Qian  Don't be burdened

    The consequence was that the members of the national team turned around and ran away when they saw Pei Wei in the next few days. They were really frightened by this guy's nagging. Several players had already put the title of "Tang Monk" on Pei Wei's head -  ¨DOf course, these players must have watched "Westward Journey".

    Even Nie Fei, who liked chatting with Pei Wei the most, was like this - he was really dizzy when he talked about it, but when Pei Wei made such a fuss, the players didn't have time to think about the game anymore, and they didn't bear anything.  pressure.

    "Hehe, nagging is still useful." Pei Wei smiled privately and said to Benitez: "Tell them annoyance to the point where I will hide as soon as I see them. That way I won't have time to think about the consequences of winning, drawing or losing the game.  "Sometimes, the more they think about these things, the more pressure they get. Now even if they think about it occasionally, it won't be a huge pressure to crush them."

    ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that the pressure in their hearts will burst out during the game?¡± Benitez asked with a wry smile.

    "Then what can I do?" Pei Wei glared: "If you say there is no pressure, there will be no pressure? Everyone will be nervous! All I can do is let them think as little as possible other things, just  It¡¯s up to the players themselves to solve the problem. Besides, what I said these days is not in vain. After all, we have achieved impressive results. Even if we lose the last game and fail to qualify, we can already explain it.¡±

    "I hope so." Benitez murmured: "But if there is a chance to enter the top 16, I don't think anyone will let it go."

    "Me too." Pei Wei nodded: "I hope so too. Since we have come to this step, there is no reason not to strive for a further step."

    On June 23, the final round of the World Cup group stage kicked off.

    For the sake of fairness, the last match of the group stage was arranged for teams in the same group to be held at the same time. In Group A, Morocco was hopeful that it had qualified after beating Scotland 3-0, but Norway miraculously  In the last ten minutes, Brazil scored two goals and won 2-1, squeezing the poor Moroccans out of the top 16. In Group B, Italy defeated Austria 2-1 and qualified first in the group. Cameroon was defeated by Chile.  After a one-to-one draw, the Chilean team squeezed out its opponent with a one-point advantage, and the African Lions had no choice but to go home.

    On June 24th, the Group C match began.

    Located in Lens, the Felix Boralt Stadium, which can accommodate more than 41,000 people, is already full. More than 10,000 Chinese fans and nearly 20,000 Danish fans poured into the stadium early.  You want to see your team qualify from this group and reach the top 16.

    "A normal mind. Everyone must maintain a normal mind." In the locker room, Pei Wei was doing the final mobilization: "This is not a decisive battle, just an ordinary game. If we win, we will advance to the top 16. If we lose, we will advance to the top 16."  Let's go home and draw - our future will be determined by luck, nothing more. And your performance has given fans across the country the greatest satisfaction. No matter what the result is, you will become the heroes of Chinese football.  Become forever known to Chinese fansBe a part of remembering!  "
