Chapter 1772 Don’t let yourself regret
The home stadium of the Lingnan South China Tigers is the Lotus Stadium, which can accommodate 80,000 people.
The stadium is named after it looks like a blooming lotus when viewed from the air.
The stadium was packed today, and the enthusiastic fans packed the 80,000-seat stand.
There were not only Chinese fans in this game, but also fans from many surrounding countries, and even... there were Madrid Pirates fans who flew in from far away Spain.
"This is the charm of the Club World Cup!"
Wang Shanshan stood on the sidelines, looking at the crowded stands, and expressed this emotion.
"This is also the reason why we must apply to host the Club World Cup! It will not only allow our fans to enjoy the performances of the world's top teams up close, but also allow the whole world to see Chinese football more clearly!"
She had just finished her interview and report at the scene, and there was nothing else for her to do next.
She can watch the game from this position.
When the two teams came out to warm up just now, the host South China Tigers certainly won a lot of cheers.
But the popularity of the Madrid Pirates is not far behind, and the cheers they receive are almost the same as those of the South China Tigers.
There were even many fans wearing South China Tigers jerseys cheering and applauding the Pirates players.
Of course, they didn't really "rebel",
Most of them were cheering for Hulay.
Although these people are fans of the South China Tigers, they are also fans of China.
As a hero of Chinese football, Hu Lai has unimaginable popularity and influence in China.
At that time, Wang Shanshan looked at the movement in front of her and couldn't help but remember that five years ago, the Lingnan South China Tigers lost the Chinese Super League championship to Hu Lai.
These fans seemed to have forgotten that incident and gave Hu Lai applause and cheers without hesitation.
The goal that helped Anton Shining Star defeat the South China Tigers came from Qin Lin's assist and Hu Lai's shot.
Now one person has come to the Lotus Stadium again as the opponent of the South China Tigers, and the other has become the current head coach of the South China Tigers.
It's really touching that both of them have such a deep bond with the South China tiger.
Moreover, the Lotus Stadium is also the place where the Chinese men’s football team reached the World Cup finals for the first time. Everyone who comes to the stadium to watch the game today will pass by the sculpture commemorating the National Football Team’s qualifying for the World Cup. Everything is really like It seems to have been arranged.
Thinking of this, Wang Shanshan laughed.
She thinks this is good, and has a wonderful sense of destiny.

Qin Lin stood in the home team's locker room at Lotus Stadium.
This dressing room is very familiar to him and his players because this is their home stadium.
A month ago, they had celebrated here to win the league title.
Now all the players have returned to the locker room, and those who are going to start have changed their clothes. They are sitting in their seats and looking at the head coach.
Under their gaze, Qin Lin said:
"This may be our last game in this Club World Cup. I hope everyone can play their best in the game. At the same time, I feel that if each of us can play 100% With our own strength, then...maybe we can really eliminate the Champions League champions in the semi-finals?”
These words shocked everyone in the locker room. They looked at each other. They didn't expect that the head coach still had such ambitions...
Seeing everyone's reactions, Qin Lin laughed:
"Why are you looking like this? Isn't this normal? Who doesn't want to win when participating in a game? If you want to eliminate Pirates, what's the surprise in reaching the Club World Cup final? Of course, I know that Pirates are very strong, very strong . And they still have Hu Lai. But because it is difficult, it is more fulfilling. Just like this season's league, everyone still remembers how it was? We are the champions!”
Having said this, Qin Lin spread his hands, his tone full of pride and confidence.
"Nothing is impossible. This is the greatest charm of football. There is always a miracle that will happen, so why can't it be us? Remember the 'Legendary Six Minutes'? What did I say before? I said Hulay focused on Football never gives up, so he can achieve miracles repeatedly. I also said that whenever we encounter difficulties, we should think about Hu Lai's six minutes and just run. Did we finish first?”
Some people in the locker room began to nod along with Qin Lin's words and express their agreement.
"So we did create a miracle. Because in this season, we were actually not the favorites. But in the end we were the champions! What does this mean? It means that we can definitely create miracles. We have the characteristics to create miracles - focus and hard work! Why do I say that the lineup is determined by training status? Because I want to make sure that everyone who steps on the court really wants to give his best in this game and is not a fool!" br>
Qin Lin waved his arms vigorously and his voice gradually became louder.
"I believe you must also think so - you finally have a chance to play against the European champions. Is it worth the hard work you have put in to get here?"
Hearing Qin Lin's deafening voice, Yao Huasheng remembered the World Cup three and a half years ago.
They went home after playing three group matches.
At that time, I thought this performance was very satisfying. I had three draws and remained undefeated. I am really excited just thinking about it!
Especially in the last game, they tied with Brazil at the last moment. What an amazing achievement!
On the flight back to China, Yao Huasheng felt as if he was dreaming and had an unreal sense of happiness.
But now, he has realized what a pity this is.
His original joy was so...ridiculous.
When they celebrated the draw with Brazil, they didn't realize that they missed the opportunity to defeat Brazil and advance to the knockout rounds of the World Cup for the first time in history.
I didn't think it at the time, but now that I think about it, I feel so regretful and regretful.
And this feeling will be particularly profound for Yao Huasheng.
Because Hu Lai and Zhang Qinghuan still had a chance to make up for this regret, but he never had this chance again.
So I feel very sorry and regretful.
Thinking of this, Yao Huasheng stood up as the captain:
"Brother Lin is right, brothers. We finally participated in the Club World Cup and worked so hard to reach the semi-finals and stand in front of the Champions League champions. It must not be because we did not try our best in this game. And there are regrets! Don’t be like me. I still regret that I didn’t fight against Brazil in the last few minutes of the World Cup!”
Qin Lin didn't expect Yao Huasheng to say this suddenly.
But it was obvious that Yao Huasheng revealed his shortcomings, which was equivalent to endorsing what he had just said, making everyone present realize that they would indeed regret it if they did not try their best.
And not only will he regret it, but the whole team will be affected by it.
"So, in the next game, everyone will work hard for me! Let's see how well we can play against the Champions League champions if we try our best! No matter whether we win or lose, at least we must have a clear conscience! It won't happen in the future I regret it when I think of this game! Don’t leave yourself with regrets, go all out, maybe we can create a miracle, after all, we might be able to create a miracle in the World Cup three years ago..."
After listening to the head coach and captain asking everyone to try their best, Peng Weijun sat in his seat with his legs shaking slightly.
He clenched his fists tightly, trying to suppress the involuntary trembling.
He was afraid of being misunderstood as fear.
But he wasn't. He was actually excited and couldn't wait.
He just wanted the game to start right away!
"Okay. I've said everything I need to say, and you all must know what you need to do. There's nothing left to say, just go on the field and do it!"
Qin Lin said loudly.
"Just do it!"
"Do it!"
A group of people screamed in the locker room.

When Hu Lai saw his big brother Qin Lin in the passage, he immediately went up to say hello enthusiastically: "Brother Lin!"
Qin Lin also hugged Hu Lai with a smile on his face: "You boy! You are so awesome now!"
"Hey, it's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning..."
"Stop being humble in front of me. Being modest is hypocrisy!" Qin Lin patted Hu Lai on the shoulder.
Hu Lai could only giggle.
He was also very happy to meet Lin again in the Club World Cup.
This Club World Cup also has extraordinary commemorative significance.
"Kick well."
"Hey, I can do it, Brother Lin!"
The scene of the two people chatting and laughing appeared in the TV broadcast. Looking at this scene, the commentator He Feng said with emotion:
"This is a dream-like scene! After the former teammates changed their identities, they met again in the Club World Cup. Two people chasing their own dreams met in this way, and they reached the same goal through different paths!"< br>
