Chapter 823: That’s it?
"The issue of the selection of the head coach of the Chinese national team, which has been receiving widespread attention recently, is finally coming to light... Yesterday Shi Wuyin attended a debriefing meeting held at the Hongfengling training base in the capital. This reporting meeting was led by the Football Association. An expert, scholar and legend of Chinese football Participating... The experts and scholars present at the meeting spoke highly of and affirmed Shi Wuyin's work while coaching the national team... It is reported that this meeting may be related to whether Shi Wuyin can continue to coach the team as the head coach of the national team. Participate in the World Cup..."
In the TV news screen, Shi Wuyin appeared in front of reporters with a smile on his face. He said to the reporters interviewing him: "The leaders are quite satisfied with my work...leading the team to the World Cup? Of course I hope. But also It depends on the opinions of the leaders. No matter what the decision is, I will accept it..."
If Shi Wuyin said these words with a straight face, many people might think that Shi Wuyin was complaining about the Football Association's failure to support him, which would arouse countless imaginations and cause a storm of public opinion on the Internet.
But now that he is smiling so brightly, many people feel that there is nothing wrong with him.
Sure enough, one day later, the Chinese Football Association officially announced that Shi Wuyin would be re-hired to coach the national team. The contract between the two parties will expire after the World Cup. Whether the cooperation will continue depends on the situation.
It’s not a long-term contract, but it makes sense.
In fact, this contract period was proposed by Shi Wuyin himself. His plan is to resign after leading the Chinese team to the World Cup, and then continue to study and improve himself.
The Football Association's official announcement also made many people's hearts drop - regarding the question of whether Shi Wuyin should be allowed to continue coaching the Chinese team in the World Cup, there was a particularly interesting phenomenon before this. That is, the majority of famous celebrity experts and big Vs disapprove of allowing Shi Wuyin to coach the national team in the World Cup, while those who support Shi Wuyin's continued coaching are more ordinary fans.
Most of these ordinary fans have a very simple idea:
Shi Wuyin is the meritorious head coach who led the Chinese team to the World Cup. He is the hero. We cannot let the people who have contributed to Chinese football feel cold, and we cannot kill the donkey. So no matter what Shi Wuyin's coaching level is, he should continue to coach the national team. Besides, if someone has the ability to take over such a team and advance to the World Cup finals, how can you say that his coaching skills are not good?
Now it is officially announced that Shi Wuyuan can continue to coach the Chinese team, which will make the Chinese fans who support him feel relieved.
In their view, the biggest obstacle affecting the Chinese team's performance in this World Cup has been lifted.
The head coach is the locomotive of a team, and the speed of the train depends entirely on the locomotive. Once the head coach is confirmed, the Chinese team's preparations for the World Cup can be officially launched.
After the official announcement, Shi Wuyin also specifically accepted an interview with CCTV: "I am very happy to be trusted - for me, this is trust in me. It is a great honor to lead the Chinese team to the World Cup, but it also means We are under pressure... There are currently no tasks assigned to this World Cup, but we will strive to go all out in the World Cup..."

Yong Jun sent the news of Shi Wuyuan's interview to Hu Lai: "Are you relieved now?"
Hu Lai smiled and nodded: "Hey! Don't worry, don't worry."
Seeing him like this, Yong Jun said sternly: "But Hu Lai, don't look at the fans and public opinion now supporting Shi Wuyin. After all, this is the first World Cup for the Chinese team. If the performance is too poor, I don't know how many people will scold him. As for him. Maybe it’s possible to blame him for losing.”
Hu Lai asked: "Uncle Yong, our first World Cup, what kind of performance is considered 'not bad'?"
Yong Jun was asked.
It is the first time for the Chinese team to participate in the World Cup. What kind of results are not bad?
Do you still expect this team to reach the knockout stage?
Not to mention the Chinese team, at this stage, no team in Asian football is guaranteed to reach the knockout round.
A team as strong as Japan has participated in seven World Cup finals and only made it to the knockout stages three times.
The South Korean team, which has participated in two more World Cups than the Japanese team, has achieved twice.
Saudi Arabia once.
Australia once.
Not once did Iran.
These teams are all absolute powerhouses in Asian football and strong contenders for the Asian Cup championship. But when we went to the World Cup, we couldn't even get out of the group stage.
For the Chinese team, which is participating in the World Cup finals for the first time, why do they think they can definitely qualify in the group?
Since qualifying from the group is impossible, what kind of performance can satisfy the fans?
Win a game?
It is very difficult to win a game. If you have the strength to win a group match in the World Cup, then qualifying from the group can be your goal.
Get a point?
Or score a goal?
Yong Jun glanced at Hu Lai and saw the goal of scoring a goal... He was really looking forward to Hu Lai scoring a goal in the World Cup.
"At least...score a goal in the World Cup?" Thinking of this, Yong Jun said to Hu Lai.
Hearing this, Hu Lai laughed: "That's it?"
"Oh, you are so cool, young man. Do you know how difficult it is to score a goal in the World Cup? 'Light of Asia' Park Soon-tae failed to score a goal when he participated in the World Cup for the first time..."
"That person was not the main force at that time."
"Hey, you kid..." Yong Jun was speechless.
Park Soon-tae was only nineteen years old when he participated in the World Cup for the first time. Although he was already playing football in Europe at that time, he still mainly played in the youth team of the club.
The reason why he was selected into the South Korean team's roster for that World Cup was mainly because his talent was indeed very high. The South Korean national team regarded him as a future star and focused on cultivating him, so they brought him to the World Cup to feel the atmosphere.
In fact, he only played 23 minutes in that World Cup. The South Korean team also failed to qualify from the group stage and went home after playing three group matches.
Hu Lai will definitely be the main player of the Chinese team this time. As long as he is not injured, he will definitely be able to play in all three group matches.
With Hu Lai's characteristics, it seems that... scoring a goal in the World Cup is really not impossible! At the very least, it will definitely be easier than the Chinese team qualifying in the group...
When Yong Jun thought about it, he felt that Hu Lai really had the confidence to say "that's it".
Thinking of this, he patted Hu Lai on the shoulder: "Then come on, try to score in the World Cup!"

Whether Hulay can score in the World Cup is still unknown.
But his good form of scoring in four consecutive league games was interrupted.
On December 21st, in a showdown before Christmas, Leeds City, ranked second in the league, challenged newly promoted Holt away.
There is no suspense in the game itself. Holt is currently ranked 17th this season and almost fell into the relegation zone. They are the ones who really need to fight to avoid relegation.
There is a huge difference in strength between the two teams.
Leeds City finally defeated the opponent with a score of 3:1, but this time Hulay failed to score in the game.
Of course, even if he didn't score, Hu Lai still topped the league's scorer list with 16 goals.
Currently ranked second on the Premier League scorer list is last season's top scorer, local forward Marvin Stones, who plays for Manchester United. He scored 11 goals.
There is still a gap of five goals from Hu Lai.
It is worth mentioning that the "Light of Asia" Park Soon-tae is in really good shape this season. His Premier League goals finally exceeded the three goals last season and reached five goals.
Although this season is not over yet, it can be said that Park Suntae has surpassed his performance last season and has made huge progress in terms of league goals.
Now Korean fans no longer compare goals with Chinese fans online.
They began to use the team's honor to make excuses.
Because whether it is at the national team level or at the club level, Park Soon-tae's team honors have truly surpassed Hu Lai's.
Korean fans also learned what Chinese fans did and made some pictures, including the famous "Real Light of Asia and False Light of Asia".
It was used by Chinese fans to ridicule Korean fans. The criterion for judging whether they are the real "Light of Asia" is the number of goals scored.
The Korean fans changed it to team honors and listed the various team honors that Park Soon-tae received during his playing days in Europe. However, Hu Lai's side was blank - not even a word.
It is already clear what this means.
There are also Korean fans who have taken a different approach. They are also comparing the number of goals, but the comparison is...the number of goals in the World Cup.
Since we are competing to see who is the real "Light of Asia", what can be more convincing than winning glory for Asia in the World Cup?
So on Park Soon-tae's side, there are four World Cup goals, the real light of Asia.
Hu Lai's side is also blank, reduced to the false light of Asia...
This comparison made Chinese fans very angry - Hu Lai has not even participated in the World Cup! Where did the World Cup goal come from!
Korean fans don't care so much. Anyway, Hu Lai didn't score in the World Cup. In this game... In this game, Park Soon Tae completely defeated Hu Lai!
