Chapter 317 The Victory of "Going Out"
At the Olympic Stadium in Sochi, those foreign journalists who were also shocked by the performance of the Chinese team gave their Chinese counterparts a thumbs up. Although they didn’t know what the Chinese were singing, they knew that the Chinese team was the winner of this game!Winners are entitled to applause and praise.

Marcel Leif, a well-known commentator of German TV Z[-], said with emotion: "Listen to the breathtaking celebratory singing of Chinese fans! A victory in the group stage may be insignificant for German football, but for China, which has returned to the World Cup family, it is far more than just three points... Maybe it is as wonderful as Gotze's slammed throat in the World Cup final in Brazil gave German fans the same feeling."

British Sky Sports commentator Joe Crooka felt the atmosphere of the scene and raised a question: "Every World Cup will have some underestimated dark horse teams. The South Africa World Cup is Ghana from Africa. The last Brazil World Cup was Costa Rica from Central and North America. The Russian World Cup. Will the dark horse magically be the Chinese team from Asia... Hehe, maybe it is too early to draw conclusions, but at least they have declared their presence in this World Cup and also justified the name of Asian teams."

The commentators from various Asian countries are generally very excited, and Yuhei Kitajima, the commentator of Nippon TV [-], is also happy for the Chinese team: "Thanks to the Chinese team, this victory belongs to the whole of Asia!"

The guest commentator next to him, the famous Japanese football star Shunsuke Nakamura, brought the topic to the Japanese team that will play tomorrow: "The Chinese team has made a good start. Japan should perform better. Although the opponent Colombia in the first match is a strong team in the World Cup, the Chinese team can perform so well. Shouldn't the players of the Japanese team prove who can best represent the highest level in Asia?"

"Well, what Mr. Nakamura said is very true. The boys of the Japanese team should really feel the crisis. The Chinese team may be an opponent worthy of vigilance in the Asian Cup next year."

Japan has always been in awe of the strong, but when they see the strength of the Chinese team, apart from awe and respect, they have a strong sense of crisis in their bones.The relationship between China and Japan is very delicate, so they regard each other as rivals. This is true in all aspects, and it is the same in football.At the beginning of this century, Chinese football was basically on a par with Japan. Japanese football did not put China in its eyes at all, which is what happened in the last ten years. Now that the Chinese team has a strong rise again, the Japanese naturally feel a sense of crisis again.

Compared to the rationality of the Japanese who respect the strong, the South Korean commentator has a sour taste, saying: "The Chinese team completely relied on Wen Zhihao and Liang Xin, two European players, to win the game. The strength of other players is simply not up to the level of participating in the World Cup."

Well, it's as if they can't rely on Sun Xingmin and Ji Chengyong, the Premier League players in Europe.

And even if they are all the main players, they are also squeezed out by the Chinese team. This World Cup also experienced the feeling of Chinese fans doing nothing but spectators.

In previous World Cups, when Chinese journalists went to the scene to report, they were often mistaken for Japanese or Korean reporters by their European counterparts with prosopagnosia. This time, however, Koreans also encountered scenes of being mistaken for Chinese or Japanese reporters.With the character of the Koreans, they naturally feel that this is a shame, and the self-esteem of a nation with a fragile mentality has been hit again.

……

The Chinese team's first victory in history had a strong domestic response.In addition to the huge celebrations caused by fans in major cities, it is even more amazing how much attention this game has received at the official level.

CCTV’s 10-minute, or one-third of the program time, reported the victory at [-]:[-] p.m. on the second day’s news broadcast, which had an audience of hundreds of millions of people. However, it was not limited to the game itself, but because the People’s Daily, the official mouthpiece, published a long editorial on this historic victory in the first place!

This time the meaning is completely different, behind it is that the top boss wants to use this victory to say something.

The editorial, headlined "Victory of 'Going Out'," pointed to some of the factors behind the victory.

"The first World Cup victory a day ago is a milestone moment for the entire Chinese football, whether it is fans or related practitioners. For the fans who have persisted for a long time, this is a sweet return in exchange for never giving up. If you never give up, I will depend on life and death. The singing and tears of the fans after the victory let the world know that Chinese football has a group of the cutest fans."

"However, as a practitioner of the Chinese football industry, this feeling should not only be rewarded once in a while after a long-term persistence, but to make all Chinese fans confidently proud of the national team at any time, so that the national team is not a social spittoon, but a positive spiritual sustenance."

"From this level, Chinese football still has a long way to go. The players who knocked on the door of victory for the Chinese team are two Chinese players who played in European football. This may have found a suitable development path for Chinese football."

"From Wen Zhihao and Liang Xin, two young players who became famous at a young age, we may be able to explore a shortcut to cultivate football talents. Not only do we need to 'invite in' world-class stars to help improve the level of the local league, but also guide talented football teenagers to 'go out', accept the influence of advanced European football atmosphere and scientific training, and continue to provide high-level players for the national team. Learning from foreign skills to control foreigners, this is the way to become rich and strong that our ancestors have explored, so as to improve the overall level of the national team. It is not a bad idea."

"The foundation of Chinese football is weak and the population of football in our country is sparse. This is an indisputable fact. The development of football youth training is the fundamental way out. This view has basically been adopted by football practitioners. However, before the football foundation is fully consolidated, can this generation of fans, this group of players who are playing in their prime, have a higher stage to show themselves? This is why everyone hopes that the Chinese team will participate in the World Cup. The first World Cup trip more than ten years ago. The mainstay also provides our national football team with an opportunity to show themselves in the mainstream European leagues. We once proposed that Chinese football should achieve the three goals of entering the World Cup, hosting the World Cup and winning the World Cup championship, because participating in the world's top football halls will do no harm to Chinese football. In this sense, it is not that the World Cup needs China to increase attention, but China needs the World Cup to promote self-improvement... "
