i'm just a striker

Chapter 38 China
ps: To correct a mistake, there is no number 37 in the World Cup, and Momo is now number 13.

It can be seen that although they talked freely in front of the reporters, in private, everyone still seemed preoccupied. What they were facing was Brazil!Even those who don't watch football, there are some who know Brazilian football. It can even be said that in those days, when thinking of Brazil, there were only two words, the strongest.

Everyone's face is full of dignified, head coach Bora Milutinovic did not arrange for Momo to start, and everyone understands why.

Mo Mo's strength is that he is constantly looking for space, and can always appear where he is most needed when he needs it most.It feels like a fly, buzzing, always calling around you, making people feel uneasy.

Mo Mo scored two goals in the last game, which made the domestic fans rejoice. Perhaps amateurs think that scoring two goals in the World Cup is very powerful, but what needs to be kept in mind is that this is only a group stage, and The opponent is only Costa Rica, but our next match is Brazil, can it be the same?

Whether it is the Champions League or the World Cup, although the group stage is always a hotbed of unpopularity, there will be more or less one of the big giants and big football powers, ah!This is the group stage, this is just the idea of ​​the group stage, so it will be more or less relaxed, but when they really get serious, you will understand what you are facing.

Brazil's lineup (3-3-1-3):

In this game, the head coach Bora Milutinovic made arrangements for the formation, mainly because Sun Jihai was injured and absent and Fan Zhiyi found many bruises on his body afterwards, sore and unbearable to continue to play with injuries ( Injured in the last game, actually.)
Yang Chen and Mo Mo sat on the bench, and Brazil's Kaka and others did not play.

But even so, Brazil's strength has made China daunting. Look at the clubs they play for!Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Milan.At that time, Brazil was full of stars.The national anthem of Brazil sounded, and there were many Brazilian or Japanese fans present all around. They were all wearing khaki Brazilian jerseys and cheering.

This moment made the Chinese players present feel a huge pressure. What kind of feeling is this?It's like you are surrounded by enemies and you are firmly surrounded. The time of a song is like a year. Mo Mo clearly felt the tension of the players around him.

What kind of depression is this?It's like the world is against everyone, but everything will pass, and everything will come.

The familiar melody sounded, and the majestic singing sounded. Mo Mo raised his head and stood up involuntarily. The teammates beside him also stood up. They looked at the stands of the stadium, where a huge five-star red flag was unfurled.

Holding a drum, wearing a national flag, the whole face is painted red, the sound of countless mouths, countless Chinese people gathered together, the depression was shattered, the siege was untied, Momo's chest felt like it was about to be exploded , resounding in all directions is the national anthem of the Chinese people "March of the Volunteers"

I have never felt that the songs of the motherland are so beautiful.I have never felt that my heart is so proud, and my eyes are inexplicably moist. This is 44 years of anticipation, 44 years of shouting, and 44 years of waiting.

The most familiar song is the national anthem of the motherland, and the most neglected song is the national anthem of the motherland. When people relax, you may listen to classical music or pop music, but who would listen to the national anthem?But right now, this is the best song, the most touching song, the most unifying song.

"stand up!
People who don't want to be slaves!
take our flesh and blood,
Build our new Great Wall!
The Chinese nation has arrived
at the most dangerous time,
everyone is forced
Let the final roar!
stand up!
stand up!
stand up!
我们 万众一心 ，
under enemy fire

go ahead,

under enemy fire

go ahead!
go ahead!
Go! Go!!"

Mo Mo once deliberately found out the video of this year. When the national anthem sounded, when the picture swept across the Chinese fans, and when the camera froze the picture of the Chinese flag unfolding with the help of countless people, Mo Mo I can't help but have a sore nose.

But now, when you really participate in it, there is an indescribable emotion, who is not patriotic?Who doesn't want the motherland to be strong and prosperous?What does it feel like to be on the field now, surrounded by the national anthem of the motherland?
Yes, that's right, we are facing Brazil!

Yes, we are facing Brazil!
That's right!We are facing Brazil!
But so what?Has my motherland ever feared a powerful enemy?When has our team ever backed down on the field?
bring it on!Brazil!bring it on!This is the glory of the country, look at our resolute faces, have we ever been afraid?
No matter how the media of later generations comment, it doesn’t matter if it’s rubbish or useless!But as long as you have a clear conscience, as long as you do your best, as long as you never back down.

The country is still a country, China is still China, and our blood is still there.

It is family love that is incessant, the nation is inseparable, and our motherland will be eternal.

Momo's eyes were fixed on the court. Head coach Bora Milutinovic, wearing a red coach uniform, turned his head and said to Momo.

"Don't be nervous! Don't be afraid! You'll have a chance to play."

Looking at the fans around shouting for China, and listening to the fans beating the big drum.

'44, '44 we stand here, Coach.

What do you think we're afraid of?What are we nervous about?
We are only afraid that we are not working hard enough and fighting hard enough to bring back the achievements that honor our motherland.

In the 2002 World Cup, the Chinese media were too harsh on us, and the media of later generations were too harsh on us. Momo shook his head. He understands that all the cheers and appreciation are only temporary. When the team is in trouble , Now how much praise will become how much abuse.

However, Momo is not afraid!China's golden generation is already strong.You must know that our team training in the past few years was only long-distance running!
The players of the two teams shook hands, and the Chinese team took the lead to kick off. The fiery red jersey looked so conspicuous on their bodies.

Hao Dong's expression looked a little dignified. His old opponent Fan Zhiyi was injured in the last game and was unable to play in this game. Under such circumstances, the defense of the backcourt could only be strengthened by more people. There was a flash of determination in his eyes. Hao Dong raised his head, thinking silently in his heart.

Fight it!There is no other way to go, let alone Brazil!Even on the opposite side!Hao Dong thought for a while, and then put on a wry smile at the top, okay!The strongest Brazil is already on the opposite side.

The whistle sounded, and China vs Brazil officially started.

Did the World Cup in 02 really only bring you 0:9 ridicule and sarcasm?Open your eyes and see!Take a look! Don't look at the score, don't look at the report, just look at the scene!A gleam flashed in Mo Mo's eyes. This is a Chinese team that never surrenders and is not afraid of powerful enemies.
