Chapter 795 The Promised Witness
In the picture, Sosa Espinola's tall figure got out of the car and walked towards the hotel door. The side was illuminated by the lights inside, and his three-dimensional facial features and handsome face could be clearly seen.
There was a smile on his face now, making him look even more handsome.
In front of what he was looking at, Paul Arce and David Arturo walked into the picture one after another. Arce even stretched out his hand several steps away from Sosa.
There is no need to explain what this means. Anyone with a normal IQ understands it.
Then Sosa also stretched out his hand and took two steps forward. The two of them held each other's hands together in front of a large, uncovered floor-to-ceiling glass window.
Arce also patted Sosa on the shoulder with his other hand.
This scene was clearly captured by the cameras and cameras of the outside media.
Because the light in the room was bright and the faces of Arce and Souza were clear, there was absolutely no possibility of mistaken identity.
The video has now appeared online in China and has been widely shared.
Originally, during the sprint stage of the Chinese team's participation in the World Cup, any news about this game attracted special attention. Not to mention the impact this video contains on everyone.
On the "Goal" website, some netizens explained this to everyone:
"Two people who are beating their brains out in Paraguay are now shaking hands in front of the media, which means that the entire Paraguay national team has been closely united in front of the goal of the World Cup. Those who expect Paraguay to underestimate the enemy will be disappointed. Not only did they not underestimate the enemy, but they also took it very seriously. Even Sousa and Arce could shake hands again, and the sun was shining in the west of Paraguayan football..."
Yan Kang also saw this video. He frowned the whole time and sighed after watching it.
Things are not good, very bad.
This signal is really too dangerous.
Why Paraguay has repeatedly failed to compete in the World Cup before? In addition to the fact that the overall strength is indeed not as good as twenty years ago, another very important reason is the division within the Paraguay team.
Sosa and Arce have been almost the main players of the Paraguay national team in the past ten years, and they are still very important main players.
However, these two main players did not deal with each other, which caused the Paraguay national team to split.
This kind of division is reflected in football matches. Naturally, the combat effectiveness has plummeted. In the "hell copy" of the South American qualifiers, how can it be possible to obtain the right to qualify for the World Cup?
In the past, Paraguay has not been without criticisms and accusations against the two players, and it has also tried to make some adjustments. For example, Sosa was not selected for the national team for a year and a half. It's just that the Paraguay national team's results were even worse without Sosa, because they lost their scoring ability and could only rely on the defense led by Arce to support themselves.
So Paraguay recognized such a cruel reality - although the two people do not deal with each other, Paraguay football cannot do without any of them.
Without Sosa, the offense is weak.
Without Arce, the defense is unstable.
Those who said that it was precisely because of the conflict between the two people that Paraguay could not enter the World Cup found that the method of expelling one of them from the national team to achieve peace and tranquility in the national team actually made Paraguay's performance even worse. This issue is basically not mentioned anymore.
They discovered that no matter how hard they didn't deal with these two people, Paraguayan football was now indispensable for them.
So I could only hold my nose and admit it...
Having missed the finals of the World Cup for four consecutive times, they failed to allow these two big guys to shake hands and make peace. Now the two people shook hands in front of everyone... It can be seen that Paraguay really wants to go all out and will never give it to itself. No more regrets.
If you think about it carefully, it is actually quite normal. After all, this is likely to be the last time that 31-year-old Sousa Espinola and 33-year-old Paul Arce have a chance to reach the World Cup finals.
In the face of the ruthless laws of time, the two bosses had to put aside their personal grudges and work together.
All for Paraguayan football and for their respective supreme dreams.
"Damn... what did you do earlier? Now that you know it's your last chance, you won't waste it. Isn't this messing with our Chinese team?" Yan Kang cursed while watching the video.
However, he can't control what others do. Now Yan Kang can only hope that the Chinese team will not think that Paraguay will underestimate the enemy and prepare in advance so that Paraguay will not be caught off guard.

"Ha, it's been a long time since we last met!" Li Zhifei couldn't help but come up with an Internet phrase. Different from what Yan Kang was worried about, Li Zhifei was even a little happy now. "I really didn't expect that we would be lucky enough to witness the day when Sosa and Arce reconciled, and it was because we...we were guessed by you, Xiao Shi!"
"Yes. This is all thanks to the information that Junpei Morikawa provided us in advance." Shi Wuyuan was not as excited as Li Zhifei, and just nodded with a smile.
Just before the Chinese team started training, he received news from Wang Guangwei and Zhang Qinghuan that Sousa Espinola from Paraguay actually asked his club teammate Tatsuya Sugiyama for information about Hulay.
Wang Guangwei and Zhang Qinghuan just thought that this showed that Paraguay attached great importance to the game with the Chinese team and had no intention of underestimating the enemy.
But Shi Wuyuan thought more.
Sosa is a forward, and Hulay, whom he inquired about, is also a forward.
Striker asks for information about Striker? What does it mean for him as a striker?
Although Hu Lai is the most threatening and famous player of the Chinese team, it is normal to inquire about his information.
But Shi Wuyin couldn't help but think a little more - after Sosa inquired about Hu Lai's information, who would he tell what he learned? Tell Paraguay coach Arturo?
normal.
But is it possible that he asked for information about Hulay to help Arce freeze Hulay better in the game?
Based on this possibility, Shi Wuyin deduced another conclusion, that is, maybe the relationship between Sosa and Arce in such a crucial game may not be as bad as the outside world reports...
After all, everyone can see this. This is the last chance for the two of them to compete in the World Cup.
If you wait another four years, the careers of 35-year-old Sosa and 37-year-old Arce will have already begun to decline. It is hard to say whether they can make it to the Paraguay national team...
Based on these reasonings, Shi Wuyin boldly deduced this result and asked the team to prepare early.
At that time, some people expressed doubts. Based on hearsay from a Japanese player, we were sure that Sosa and Arce would unite. Isn't it too rash?
Shi Wuyin ignored those doubtful voices and insisted on his own opinion, arranging game tactics based on the premise that these two people would definitely join forces.
Now when the video of Arce and Sosa shaking hands and making peace came out, it proved that Shi Wuyin was right!
Everyone looked at Shi Wuyuan in a different way...
Ning is the "Ke Jia"?

"Morikawa, you are really helpful! The tactics our coach developed based on the information you provided are now on target!"
In the WeChat group, Hu Lai circled Morikawa Junpei's nickname "Eating hot pot requires dry dishes" to express his gratitude to him.
Junpei Morikawa, who had just flown to Europe to join his national team teammates and prepare to participate in two warm-up matches, smiled when he saw Hu Lai's words. He selected a picture from his emoticon library that best suited his current mood and sent it.
It is the famous GIF picture of Wang Yousheng in the TV series "Bright Sword".
In the dynamic picture, Wang Yousheng was obviously very proud, but he smiled a little reservedly, looked around, and finally nodded with a smile.
He is obviously a little devil, but he is posting emoticons from a TV series that specializes in fighting devils. This should be a very unconventional thing, but Morikawa Junpei is very accustomed to doing it.
In fact, in the two years since he came to China to play football, what has improved the most is not his Chinese level, but his skill level in sending emojis.
As a middle school boy, I usually fight with Brother Huan, Xiao Xingxing, and Hu Lai in the group.
Competing with masters has greatly improved my ability to skillfully use various emoticons.
After sending the emoticons, he typed a reply to Hu Laisan: "Hu Laisan, see you at the World Cup next year!"
"It's a deal!" Hu Lai quickly replied to him.
After receiving Hu Lai's reply, Morikawa Junpei should have been very happy, but he suddenly frowned.
Next to him, Tatsuya Sugiyama turned to look at him and asked curiously: "What's wrong, Morikawa?"
"Ah, Sugiyama. Hulesan and I have agreed to meet at the World Cup next year..."
"World Cup? The Chinese team hasn't eliminated Paraguay yet, right?" Sugiyama Tatsuya interrupted him in surprise.
"Yes. But I think they can definitely beat Paraguay." Junpei Morikawa said with certainty.
"This..." Sugiyama Tatsuya wanted to refute Morikawa Junpei's point of view, but as soon as he saw the other party's vow, he thought of his feelings for Hu Lai, a teammate of the Olympic team and the national team, and wisely gave up. My thought just now was just to ask out of curiosity: "If that's the case, that's a good thing. Why are you frowning suddenly? What are you worried about?"
Morikawa Junpei turned to look out the hotel window, where there was a cherry blossom tree. In November, all the leaves fall off, leaving only the bare branches, completely unable to tell how beautiful it can be when it blooms in spring.
"It's a pity that the cherry blossoms are not in bloom now..." he murmured.
Sugiyama Tatsuya was confused: "Please wake up, Morikawa. It's winter now, not spring."
"I know, Sugiyama." Junpei Morikawa looked back at Tatsuya Sugiyama and nodded, "That's why I feel sorry for this. The agreement between Hulesan and I was not witnessed by the blooming cherry blossoms... ”
"..." Sugiyama Tatsuya took a deep breath, stood up and jumped out of bed, "I'm going to the toilet!"
After saying that, he rushed out.
Junpei Morikawa didn't care about Tatsuya Sugiyama's reaction. He turned to look out the window again, his eyes fixed on the branches of the cherry blossom tree, as if he had turned into a magic pen, lighting up one cherry blossom after another in full bloom. Let's use "Utopia Sakura" as a witness to our agreement, Hulesan!
