Chapter 932 I don’t want to be a deserter
After the Chinese team's first World Cup game, although they did not win, because they scored two goals, one of them was a super world wave.
Therefore, there is still a carnival on the Internet in China.
The Chinese team’s game also attracted worldwide attention.
Because the Chinese team and Algeria are the only two national teams participating in the World Cup for the first time.
As a new team in the World Cup, they naturally have "gimmicks" and it is normal for them to attract attention.
Around the world, everyone originally thought that it would be difficult for these two new armies to perform well.
The celebrities, pundits, commentators, and journalists thought this might be a boring game.
After all, both teams are inexperienced and they may adopt more conservative tactics in their first game.
As a result, when the Chinese team's starting lineup came out, the professional reporters exclaimed: "Oh my God! The Chinese team scored 433?!"
Although it is a 433 with two defensive midfielders and one attacking midfielder, it is also a very offensive formation.
After watching this game, everyone who thought this game would be boring before was slapped in the face.
They exclaimed: "This is the first time in this World Cup that there is no winner, but I watched it with great interest! This is definitely worth the price of admission!"
"Four goals, including a very beautiful world wave! I thought that when Hulay went to the national team, he would not be able to perform as well as he did in the club because he was limited by the level of the national team... After all, we have seen There have been many players who have been killing everyone in the league, but when they get to the national team, it’s like they suddenly can’t find the instructions... But I was wrong! Although this Chinese team still has many problems and its strength is worrying, there is one thing that impressed me - that is their tacit understanding! It would be great to avoid such inexplicable coordination errors!”
"...I want to apologize for those words that looked down on the Chinese team before. I thought this was a team where everyone except Hu Lai was 'other people'. But in fact they are a whole. I originally thought that their main team The coach is unknown, and he won't have any great skills, but look. Looking at the performance of the Chinese team players on the court, they are obviously a well-trained team, not a group of eleven people. Both individual performance and teamwork are remarkable. The credit of the head coach..."
"Chinese football has been on the fringes of world football for a long time and has lacked attention, which has led to prejudice. But the Chinese team used this game to tell us that the reason why they were able to reach the World Cup finals was definitely not because of a fool. Lai. After all, if a forward with Hu Lai's characteristics is not good... how can he reach the World Cup? I think we should start to pay more attention to Chinese football now. At least, we should not mention Chinese football and only know one 'HU'. '..."
After the remarks of these foreign media, foreign experts, and famous reporters were translated into China, they aroused heated discussions among domestic fans, inspired their national pride, and became a hot topic on the Internet.
From being looked down upon and ignored to being respected and taken seriously, Chinese fans feel proud and proud.
As a result, there have been many videos and articles on the Internet that brought tears to the eyes and excited blood.
Harvested a large number of comments, tips, likes and comments on major online platforms.
Someone lamented: "In previous World Cups, the media always said, 'The World Cup is a festival for fans.' I can't understand this at all - how can there be a festival to watch other people celebrate? But this time, I believe it! This is really a fan's festival." It’s a holiday! It’s not easy for Chinese fans to finally have a holiday!”
※※※
The outside world responded positively to the Chinese team's first game. It was basically good news. Fans, pseudo-fans, and non-fans across the country were all jubilant, and the atmosphere was warm and peaceful.
But within the Chinese national team, this is not the case.
"Alas..."
Li Zhifei sighed, attracting Shi Wuyuan's attention: "Are you still worried about Xiao Gao's injury and retirement?"
"No...although Xiao Gao's matter is quite annoying." Li Zhifei shook his head and said, "After this game, everyone was praising us..."
"Isn't that great? Lao Hong told me that with two goals in a draw with Algeria, we have already challenged the leadership. We have no pressure from now on, and we can play in any shape..." Shi Wuyin He said reflexively, and as he spoke, he reacted first, "Oh... That means that the opponents in the next two games will basically not underestimate the enemy."
Li Zhifei nodded and shook his head: "That's what I mean. We originally expected Russia and Brazil to be proud and underestimate the enemy... Then we can still take advantage of it. But if they don't underestimate the enemy, we basically have no chance..."
< br>
"Old Li, you..." Shi Wuyin pointed at his partner, "Don't always think about beautiful things!"
Li Zhifei continued, minding his own business: "I was quite happy when I first learned that we would play Algeria first and then Brazil in the end. We could gradually increase the difficulty level to adapt to the World Cup. Now it seems that we might as well play Brazil in the first game. Maybe take advantage of their opportunity to underestimate the enemy Can you steal a victory? Even if you can't win, it's good to draw your opponent. It's also a draw, the first point in the World Cup and two goals... if all this happens against Brazil, Isn’t it better than a draw with Algeria? ”
Shi Wuyuan was amused by Li Zhifei's fantasy: "Don't think about what is there and what is not. I have the same view as before: playing Brazil in the end is a schedule that is really beneficial to us. After adapting to the two World Cup games, we will We are more mature and have accumulated more experience. Only by playing against the strongest team in this group under such circumstances can we learn more and avoid being so confused that we don’t know what to do after a game. What happened?”
Li Zhifei laughed when he heard Shi Wuyuan's words: "How about you become the head coach? This state of mind is different!"
Shi Wuyin rolled his eyes at his old partner and continued: "Besides, since our goal is to train the team, let the young people accumulate experience and learn how to play against the world's top teams. Wouldn't it be better if the opponent does not underestimate the enemy? They have brought out We use our best condition. Just like in a teaching game, how can you learn from your opponent if he doesn’t pay attention to you and deals with you casually?”
Li Zhifei was speechless by Shi Wuyin and could only nod his head: "You are right. I just hope that those young people can really learn something from them, so that our trip here is worthwhile..."
"At least I see hope from Xia Xiaoyu." Shi Wuyuan smiled.
"Xiaoyu played really well. In this way, it should be no problem for him and Jiang Wanqing to partner as a defensive midfielder against Russia next game."
"Well, let's put Zhang Qinghuan in front..."
"By the way, how is Zhang Qinghuan's injury? After he came off the field, I saw that he had an ice pack wrapped around his thigh..."
Shi Wuyin frowned slightly: "I heard that I went to find Lao Feng when I returned to the hotel."
Hearing Shi Wuyin's words, Li Zhifei also frowned: "Is the situation bad?"
"Probably not, it's just a relaxing massage after the game..." Shi Wuyin himself was not sure.
Li Zhifei sighed when he saw this: "If Zhang Qinghuan feels uncomfortable again, our remaining two games will be really difficult!"
Shi Wuyin comforted him: "Don't worry. We can just ask him when Lao Feng is done."

"Brother Huan, little Xingxing, let's go have a meal!"
Hu Lai and Wang Guangwei knocked on the door of Zhang Qinghuan and Chen Xingyi's room, preparing to invite them to the restaurant for dinner.
Because the whole team performed well in the first game, the chefs brought by the national team from China specially cooked a feast for the whole team as a reward.
I was already very hungry after playing a game. Even though I ate fruits and pastries, it was just enough to fill my stomach. I still had to eat a main meal.
So everyone is looking forward to this dinner.
Before it was time for dinner, Hu Lai and Wang Guangwei knocked on the door.
It was Chen Xingyi who opened the door for them.
"Brother Huan?" Hu Lai called inside.
"Brother Huan has gone to the physical therapy room." Chen Xingyi replied.
"Really hurt?" Hu Lai was a little surprised.
He also saw Coach Shi mention it on the news, but based on his own observations during the game, he felt that it was a head-on confrontation. It would be painful at the time, but it should be fine after the game is over.
As a result, I now heard that Brother Huan went to find Master Feng...
Master Feng was not originally from the Chinese team. He was the gold medal physical therapist of the Chinese track and field team.
In this World Cup, the Football Association also invited him to provide physical therapy and massage for the players through the relationship with the General Administration.
There's no telling what his level is, it's quite superb.
"He said it was better to go find Master Feng and press it. Under the current circumstances, he did not dare to take it lightly." Chen Xingyi explained.
Hu Lai and Wang Guangwei instantly thought of Gao Ruimin, and they both nodded seriously.
Getting a point was originally a very happy thing, but when the players took the bus back to the hotel, they heard bad news from the hospital.
Gao Ruimin, who was injured after a kick from Sateri during the game, was diagnosed with a metatarsal fracture in his right foot.
Not to mention the remaining two World Cup games, the Chinese Super League will be absent for several months this season.
We are all professional players, so we naturally know what consequences such an injury will have on a player's career...
So after hearing the news, the scene was completely silent. No one spoke for a long time, and everyone's mood instantly dropped.
As professional players, they are so empathetic.
Before the World Cup starts, everyone is careful to make sure they don't get injured. Especially after hearing that Maxi Carey had to miss the World Cup due to injury.
As a result, after the World Cup started, only one game was played, and their comrades still bid farewell to the World Cup due to injuries...
※※※
Zhang Qinghuan was half lying on the physiotherapy bed and asked the team's masseur, Master Feng, to massage his thigh muscles that were hit by Sateri.
He can still feel pain when he presses it now.
In order to prevent the injury from affecting subsequent games, he used an ice pack to apply ice when he came off the field.
But now we need to use massage to circulate blood, eliminate blood stasis and relieve pain.
After Shi said at a press conference that he was also injured, he received a lot of concern and inquiries from people.
There are those from club coach Zhao, there are also those from agent Uncle Yong, there are also those from mom, relatives and friends...
He knew why everyone was so concerned, even nervous, because Gao Ruimin was seriously injured and had to bid farewell to the World Cup.
They are afraid that they will be injured and it will affect their performance in the World Cup even if they do not withdraw from the World Cup.
He is also afraid.
That's why he returned to the hotel after the game and immediately came to see the team's physical therapist, Master Feng.
Master Feng massaged him while chatting with him: "It's not a big deal, don't worry. After I massage, I promise not to affect your training and competition."
He also understood why Zhang Qinghuan came to him, so he comforted him and made him feel at ease.
Hearing what Master Feng said, Zhang Qinghuan asked: "Will it really affect my subsequent training and competition?"
"Of course, it's just a minor injury. It's not a big deal in the first place, but if you ask me to press it again, it will hurt your hands even more!" Master Feng and Zhang Qinghuan joked.
As a physical therapist, he usually also works part-time as a psychiatrist. After all, most of the team members who come to him for massage are injured and naturally not in high spirits. He not only provides physical massage to the players, but also provides psychological massage.
Sure enough, after hearing his words, Zhang Qing laughed happily, with a relaxed expression on his face.
At this moment, there was a commotion outside the physiotherapy room.
"Brother Huan! Brother Huan, are you in there?" It was Hu Lai's voice.
Before he finished speaking, someone had already walked in. In addition to him, he was followed by Wang Guangwei, Chen Xingyi, Xia Xiaoyu, Zhou Zijing and Lin Zhiyuan - the last one was met halfway and forced to come up.
Six people rushed in, making the temporary physical therapy room that had been converted from the team medical team's own room suddenly become crowded.
"Are you all here for massage?" Master Feng was startled.
Hu Lai waved his hands quickly: "No, no, we are here to ask Brother Huan to eat." After that, he asked Zhang Qinghuan: "Is Brother Huan okay?"
"Soon."
"Okay, we'll wait for you."
Zhang Qinghuan turned around and found a room full of people looking at him like this. Suddenly he felt a bad sense of déjà vu, and he said again: "Can you go out and wait?"
Everyone looked at each other, a little surprised. They didn't expect that Brother Huan would chase them away as soon as they came in. This made them a little... uncomfortable, and they always felt that Brother Huan's mood was not high. Is the injury serious? Brother Huan doesn’t want us to see his vulnerable side?
Hu Lai suddenly shouted: "Why are you going out? Brother Huan, what you do is not physical therapy, but general health care? Are you afraid that we will see you? No, right? No, right, Brother Huan? You didn't do anything when you were young. Erguo, why are you so shy now..."
Zhang Qinghuan couldn't bear it and interrupted Hu Lai's nonsense: "Hu Lai, what the hell..."
Master Feng glared at Hu Lai: "What nonsense are you talking about! What kind of big health care? I, the youngest, can be a big health care? It's almost like a scrub master in a bathhouse..."
Hu Lai clapped his hands: "Oh, Master Feng, this is a dream linkage!"
Master Feng's head was filled with little questions: "What the hell..."
Chen Xingyi, who was next to Hu Lai, had already reached out and strangled his neck: "Hu Lai, your uncle!"
Wang Guangwei laughed out loud: "Little Xingxing, if you hadn't taken action, I wouldn't have thought of you..."
Xia Xiaoyu finally made the emoticon in the WeChat group - he covered his face with his hands and smiled bitterly.
Zhou Zijing extracted the key words: "What's the plot? What's the plot? What's the relationship with Chen Xingyi?"
"Get out! It doesn't matter!" Chen Xingyi pinched Hu Lai and turned around to curse Zhou Zijing.
In the end, Master Feng couldn't bear it anymore and kicked out all the people who were making trouble in the physical therapy room: "Stay outside! Don't hinder my work!"
The young people then dispersed.
Before going out, Hu Lai grabbed the door frame and asked Master Feng: "Master Feng, Brother Huan didn't have a muscle strain, right?"
"What are you thinking! How can a muscle strain be a trivial matter?!" Master Feng glared at Hu Lai, as if he blamed him for his crow's mouth.
"Oh, that's fine if it's not, that's fine if it's not..." Hu Lai also knew that this was not a joke, so he quickly laughed with him and then backed out.
After driving everyone out and closing the door, Master Feng returned to the bedside, shook his head and said, "It's not all your fault. You let them out in a good manner and gave Hu Lai a chance to use the topic..."
Zhang Qinghuan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The main reason is that they stood in a circle next to the bed and looked at me. It felt like they came to bid farewell to my body... it was unlucky."
Master Feng was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
※※※
"Master Feng is smiling... It seems that Brother Huan's injury is not a big problem..." Hu Lai said.
He originally used 20,000 points to exchange for a bottle of [Recovery Ointment] in the system mall. If Brother Huan really had a muscle strain, he planned to find an excuse to let Brother Huan apply it himself.
But looking at it now, Master Feng didn't lie to himself.
Lin Zhiyuan folded his arms and looked at everyone lying on the door. Hu Lai, who was eavesdropping, sneered: "You don't have to put your ears to the door, we all heard it! Hu Lai, you are so wretched!"< br>
Hu Lai rolled his eyes at him: "You know nothing! You just heard Master Feng's laughter, but I heard Master Feng's delicate inner emotions from the subtle vibrations of the door panel!"
"What?" Lin Zhiyuan was stunned. He didn't expect Hu Lai's angle to be so tricky.
"You see, you don't understand, right? Master Feng's laughter started violently and broke out suddenly, like a sudden high note in a piece of music, which attracted people's attention immediately. But it was just a simple laugh, and it did not It’s not interesting. In the middle part, Master Feng’s laughter dropped slightly, and then spiraled up. Finally, in the second part, Master Feng’s laughter gradually died down, but it still seemed like it wasn’t. The Buddha is still lingering in our ears, with the feeling of lingering for three days. The laughter does not stop suddenly, but has a long aftertaste, expressing Master Feng's relaxed and happy mood. What is this called 'hearty'? Such laughter fully shows that he thinks Brother Huan’s injury is indeed no big deal, and is not trying to comfort us..."
Hu Lai put his hands behind his back, raised his head slightly, and the way he talked so eloquently frightened everyone present. They looked at Hu Lai blankly, and for a moment they didn't know whether he was talking nonsense or if he was serious...< br>
The corridor outside the room suddenly became quiet.
Until Zhang Qinghuan opened the door and came out, seeing them all dumbfounded, he asked: "What are you doing? Playing wooden man games?"
Hu Lai quickly took off his pretense and went up to him: "They were impressed by my charm...Brother Huan, how are you?"
"Well, that's it."
Wang Guangwei also came to his senses and asked with concern: "How do you feel now?"
Zhang Qinghuan bent his right foot slightly, then exerted force on his thigh muscles, and carefully felt the feeling from the injury: "There is still a little feeling, but it is almost negligible."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"It was just a head-on injury in the first place. After time, it will be fine." Zhang Qinghuan continued.
"Although it's not a big deal, it's good for you to be careful." Master Feng walked out of the room and said. "Don't worry, after being massaged by me, your training and competition will not be affected!"
"Thank you, Master Feng." Zhang Qinghuan thanked him.
"Thank you, Master Feng!" Others also expressed their gratitude to him.
Master Feng waved his hand: "It's my job, thank you. I'm here to serve you. I can only let you perform well in the World Cup. Is this a problem for me?"
< br>
After saying that, he waved his hand again: "Hurry up and eat. It's too late and all the delicious food will be gone."
"Oh oh oh! Feast! Feast!"
Everyone hurriedly said goodbye to Master Feng, turned around and ran to the elevator.
Watching these young people walking away talking and laughing, Master Feng smiled behind them.
I knew that Zhang Qinghuan was in a bad mood because of his injury, so I came here specifically to make him happy...
What a fine young man!
Zhang Qinghuan in the crowd listened to everyone tell him why he came out just now and saw everyone standing there stunned. Sure enough, it was Hu Lai who was showing off again.
He laughed heartily.
It doesn't affect training, nor does it affect competition...that's great!
In the next two games, he will never be a deserter again!
