Chapter 329 One-eighth final opponent: Brazil!
Judging from the statistics after the game, this game is really weird everywhere.

Whether it is ball possession rate, number of passes, number of threats to attack, and number of shots, they are all completely one-sided, especially the shooting data comparison is shocking 28-3!The German team blasted 28 shots, and the Chinese team only had three shots.Among them, the German team thirteen shots were within the goal range, and the Chinese team...none of them!

The final result was 0:0. In other words, Yan Junling resolved [-] dangerous situations and made [-] effective saves in this game.

Such a strong performance can be said to eclipse the stars of the German team this night.The best of the field is well deserved.

When the coaches and players of the Chinese team fell into crazy celebrations, the Chinese team and the German team scored a goalless draw. This result, which absolutely shocked everyone, has been conveyed to the world in the words of absolute madness by the media.

However, compared to the result of the Chinese team's upset advance to the top [-], not only the vast majority of European and American fans, but even some Chinese fans admitted and reviewed that they really underestimated the Chinese team.

Sure enough, there is not a weak team that can join the feast of the World Cup.Many journalists from mainstream European media think so.Perhaps it is time to look at the Chinese team in a different light.

As for Chinese journalists, they don't have much time to think about that.They frantically chased and rushed to interview the players of the Chinese team.

As the best player on the field of the Chinese team, Yan Junling became the number one focus person chased by all reporters after the game.Almost everyone asked a question with a similar meaning: why are you so awesome tonight?
It was the first time that the media scrambled for an interview, seeing that the microphone had almost touched his lips, Yan Junling was still a little nervous at this time.Goalkeeper is a position that is not easy to be sought after by the media under normal circumstances. In today's situation, so many reporters flock to him. Whether it is in the club or the national team, this is the first time Yan Junling has encountered it.

"The most important thing is to be excited, to stimulate me to perform at a super level. After all, being able to face these world-class strikers face to face, for goalkeepers, there may not be many opportunities in a lifetime."

A reporter immediately asked: "Is it just excitement? Faced with this kind of decisive battle that is about life and death and the future situation, are you really not nervous at all?"

Yan Junling touched his nose, and said frankly: "Well...it was a little bit a few days before the competition, but I want to thank Zhihao, he shared a word with me."

"What is it?" All the reporters suddenly became interested. They like this kind of behind-the-scenes story the most, especially when it is put together with the unpopular result, the popularity increases sharply and the topics are endless.

"You should ask Zhihao about this. It seems that I am boastful when I say it here, and I still have to keep a low profile." Yan Junling originally felt that facing so many reporters was a lot of pressure, but now he just found an excuse and hid directly.

More than 20 reporters stood on the ground and looked at each other. It took about half a minute before a reporter came to his senses and asked the surroundings: "Where is Zhihao? Has anyone seen him?"

However, Wen Zhihao had already entered the locker room at this time, celebrating the temporary victory with everyone.Naturally, what Wen Zhihao said to Yan Junling is an eternal mystery to the media.Maybe many years later, looking back on the Chinese team's World Cup trip, fans will regard it as a behind-the-scenes tidbit, but only the two parties will know the truth.

……

With the end of the third round of Group G and H after the Chinese team, all the teams in the top sixteen of the World Cup have also been released.They are Uruguay, Russia, Spain, Portugal, France, Denmark, Argentina, Iceland, Brazil, Costa Rica, Germany, Belgium, England, Colombia, Poland and China.

Among the eliminated teams, the most regrettable one is Croatia led by Rakitic and Modric. They were defeated in a direct dialogue with Iceland. They have a lineup that is at least the top [-] of the World Cup. They failed to qualify for the group stage for two consecutive World Cups.

Like every World Cup, without any accidents, European teams and South American teams occupy the absolute mainstream. Among the [-] seats, the two continents with the most developed football level occupy [-] of them.The Chinese team and the Costa Rica team are the "Asian representatives" and "Central and North American representatives" respectively.

However, Asia and Central and North America are not the worst, at least one seed remains.The four teams in Africa were the worst, and they were wiped out after the group stage.

The eight-group matches in the quarter-finals are also determined according to the rules of two adjacent groups of cross-match, followed by Uruguay VS Portugal, Russia VS Spain, France VS Iceland, Costa Rica VS Germany, Belgium VS Poland.

And all the above matchups have nothing to do with Chinese fans, they are already too excited for the Chinese team's first World Cup knockout opponent.

The eighth-final opponent of the Chinese team is the No. [-] in Group E, the Samba Army!Five Star Brazil!

Regarding Brazil, there are many intersections with Chinese football, but on the stage of the World Cup, the first thing everyone thinks of is the group match between the Chinese team and the Brazilian team in the 2002 World Cup.It was the first time that Chinese football faced the world's top teams in an official competition. The "3R" combination under Scolari is an invincible combination in the entire history of world football.For the Chinese team in that game, apart from Zhao Junzhe's goal post and Xu Yunlong forcing Roberto Carlos on the wing, these two moments were regarded as bright spots, and the rest were almost bitter memories.That was the first time that Chinese football really realized the gap with the world's top level.

Time has passed, and facing the Brazilian team again, it is still the World Cup knockout round. Although the fans first thought that the Chinese team's World Cup journey might end here, they immediately flashed a little bit of hope with luck.

The strength of the two teams is different from the past. Brazil no longer has a 3R combination. The most threatening strengths in the frontcourt are Neymar and Coutinho. The Chinese team has more Wen Zhihao, who is already a quasi-world-class star. He should be able to compete with Brazil, right?Maybe you don't necessarily lose!
As long as Wen Zhihao is around, no matter how strong the opponent is, everyone will be lucky, because he is good at turning all kinds of impossible into possible, and then let all those who have formed a fixed mindset self-reflect and correct themselves in time.

Of course, from another perspective, because of Wen Zhihao’s appearance, it has further fueled the Chinese media’s unrestrained YY. Fans can’t stand it anymore and appeal to the media to be rational. Immediately, a famous reporter made a statement on his personal Weibo: The national team with Wen Zhihao is different from the past.Everyone must change their minds in time, and in the face of any opponent, they must have confidence in the national team.

Well, Wen Zhihao didn't know when he became a "shield" for a part of the Chinese media who brag about not paying taxes.
