    To Japan?  "

    "To Japan."

    "To Japan"

    "To Japan!"

    After the top 16 matches, in China, the conversations between fans basically consisted of these four words. Although the tone was different, the meaning was different, and the content was somewhat different, these four words were exactly the same.  .

    During the period from June 13th to June 18th, even though there were knockout matches that were more exciting than the group stage every day, even though in these games, Germany defeated Uruguay, England swept Denmark, and Uruguay eliminated Sweden with a golden ball.  , Spain defeated Ireland, Portugal easily defeated Mexico and Brazil eliminated Belgium with a controversial goal. However, Chinese fans still focused all their efforts on the upcoming battle between China and Japan, so much so that they were not interested in it.  The six games were only lightly looked at.

    This is Chinese fans. In normal times, they also have their own teams to support, whether it is the national team or the club team. Maybe they will argue with other fans because of the team they support, and even attack each other -  ¨DBut at this time, there is only one goal left for them to support, and that is the national team that represents China, the Chinese national team!

    This is the normal mentality that fans should have - in a competition involving their own national team, if you don't support them, who else can you support?

    As for those fans in later generations who only pay attention to European teams or South American teams, and even wish their national teams to lose as badly as possible - please forgive them.  They are not traitors or traitors, they are just poor people who have been heartbroken by Chinese football and have been chilled to the bone.

    After observing the group stage, basically everyone has a relatively specific understanding of the two teams, China and Japan, and naturally it goes without saying about the Chinese team.  Although the four-point qualifying result was not very good, the classic game against Brazil was enough to give Chinese fans great confidence, and Japan showed their performance in the past four years in the group stage.  Progress, being able to defeat Russia and Tunisia, and drawing with Belgium have proven that the Japanese team's strength can occupy a place even in the World Cup.

    Unlike the Chinese team, which is composed of three generations of players, old, middle and young, the Japanese team is basically composed of rookies and the Mesozoic generation in their prime. After the retirement of the old captain Masami Ihara and the most famous Japanese older generation Tomohiro Miura, this national team  Only Masashi Nakayama is left among the older generation players in the team, and this old forward has basically been reduced to a substitute. He and the four veteran players of the Chinese team, Hao Dong, Ma Tian, ??General Fan and Jiang Hai, are still playing in the national team.  The important role is different.  The older generation of Japanese team players have basically withdrawn from the stage of history.

    This is also related to the historical sluggishness of Japanese football. Before the 1990s, it was not the mainstream of Asian football, and it always lost more than it won against the Chinese team. Even in the rapidly developing 90s, it was always dominated by China.  Suppression, among the top three in East Asia.  There has always been a strange circle in which China defeats Japan, Japan defeats South Korea, and South Korea defeats China.

    This is also the reason why Chinese fans showed great confidence after knowing that their opponent in the top 16 was Japan. However, before the start of this game, a saying suddenly began to spread on the Internet, and even got quite a lot of attention.  Many fans agree - that is, as the host, Japan hopes to go further against China, its old rival, and manipulate the referees.  It is the best way.

    Quite a few fans agree with this view - in China, the vast majority of people can't stand the Japanese. After hearing this rumor, they will naturally think - Damn it.  Little Japan is despicable and shameless, and can definitely do such a thing!

    Especially after the seventh quarter-finals - when the Koreans conceded a goal first, they exhausted the Italians with almost brutal melee fighting, and were on duty for these actions that completely exceeded the scope of the game.  The referee turned a blind eye, including Seol Qi-hyun's elbow that broke Keke's head - finally tied the score three minutes before the end of the game, and then in overtime the Ecuadorian referee used an unwarranted method to obliterate Italy  After receiving a goal, Prince Totti of Rome was sent off for diving. After receiving such help, the Koreans finally defeated Italy with Ahn Jung-hwan's header before the end of the game and broke through.  Entered the quarterfinals.

    After this game, China¡¯s domestic concerns about Japan¡¯s use of referees reached its peak - the shamelessness of the Koreans chilled everyone.  At this time, the most confident people began to waver. If the referee behaved like this against the Japanese team, China's hope of winning can be said to be quite slim - after all, the strength of the Chinese team has not yet reached such a point.

    Even the Chinese coaching staff was greatly troubled by such rumors.??Five hours before the start of the game, just after the Korean team's game ended, all members of the coaching staff including Pei Wei

    Everyone gathered in Milu's room.

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

    "Did you watch the game just now?" Tang Peng said nonsense as soon as they got together: "It's so fucking shameful Tomasi's goal in overtime was a good goal, passed by Totti.  At that time, he was at least one meter away from the last Korean defender, and he was actually ruled offside. Also, Totti fell in the penalty area, and the Korean defender's feet almost reached above his knees - such a fake  Fall?"

    "And look at their moves! That's just like a Taekwondo performance on the court!" Chu Guanghu said with lingering fear: "Especially the elbow given to Keke, the brow bone was completely opened! Such a bad move is actually  Just a verbal warning! Faced with such a disadvantage, no matter how strong Italy is, they can't win, let alone being awarded an inexplicable penalty kick at the beginning"

    The two assistant coaches expressed their feelings respectively, and then said in unison: "Our next games will not be like this"

    Milu didn¡¯t say anything, but he also looked worried. After traveling around for so many years, what¡¯s wrong with him that he doesn¡¯t know?  What little tricks have you not seen before?  It is precisely because I know and understand that I am worried.

    "I think there is no need to worry so much" Pei Wei smiled and explained to them: "The Japanese are indeed shameless. They pretend to be grandsons when they are at a disadvantage, and they pretend to be uncles when they have the upper hand, and they refuse to admit their mistakes But  You have to admire their almost perverted samurai spirit, especially in competition. They will not go so dark - Koreans are different, maybe because their country is not completely independent yet.  And historically, they have always been sandwiched between China and Japan, and after World War II, they were controlled by the Americans. Therefore, they can only use their narrow national pride in sports and other aspects, and their pursuit of victory is simply abnormal.  We have seen a lot of their faces in the 1988 Seoul Olympics! They did this kind of thing~ I think everyone can rest assured that maybe the referee will be slightly biased in favor of the Japanese team in this game, but it will definitely not be like just now.  That game was so outrageous!¡±

    "Why are you so sure?" Milu asked doubtfully: "With South Korea's performance ahead, it is inevitable that the Japanese team will not do this After all, if they advance one step further and reach the quarterfinals, they will be able to tie the history of Asian teams in the World Cup.  It¡¯s best to record that they won¡¯t do it.¡±

    "Bola, after all, you are not an Asian, and you don't know our two close neighbors like us Chinese." Pei Wei blew out a smoke ring: "Both these two nations don't mind using some despicable means to achieve their goals.  Nation, but there are differences between these two nations - Japan was once powerful after all, and was once one of the most powerful countries in the world! With this kind of history, no matter what you do, it will have a certain impact!  And South Korea they have never been strong. If China is strong, they will be China's vassal. If Japan is strong, they will be Japan's vassal Without a glorious history, there will be no self-confidence. A nation without self-confidence can only use conspiracies and tricks.  To get spiritual satisfaction, and they have indeed been satisfied, so I concluded that Japan will not be as mean as South Korea!¡±

    "But this is just your guess. In my opinion, never doubt human beings' talent for conspiracy." Milu still couldn't let go.

    Pei Wei looked at Milu, and he knew that he first had to calm Milu down - the head coach is the soul of a team, and only if the head coach can remain calm and normal can the players stay normal.

    It is not easy to do this, but Pei Wei is convinced that he can do it, because he also has a trump card.

    "I know who the referee is about to officiate our game." Pei Wei's words stunned everyone: "I think if you know who the referee is, you won't worry about the fairness of the game."

    "Who is it?" Milu, Chu Guanghu and Tang Pengju asked at the same time. Although they were surprised by the news, they were more concerned about who the referee was.

    "Colina." Pei Wei said with a smile: "Pierre Luigi Collina, the most just referee in the world and the most famous referee."

    He smiled and looked at the three of them: "What are you worried about now? If he can't reassure you, then what referee in the world can reassure you?"

    "It turns out it's him!" Milu suddenly realized, and then a heartfelt smile appeared on his face: "If it's him, of course I won't worry!"
