[Football] Mr. Squirrel, would you like some nuts?

No.20 The opening ceremony of the fourth World Cup was held as scheduled in the imperial capital of the most populous country in the world. This is also the second time that China's men's football team has entered the World Cup group stage.It has been 28 years since the last time, the first time.

But this time the whole country is confident that their national football team can qualify for the group stage.

Firstly, because of the reforms in these years, the technology of this national team has indeed improved a lot.Secondly, luck was better in the draw. Their opponents were Greece, Saudi Arabia and Mexico.

The external media has already made a notice that this group should be China and Mexico working together to qualify.

The group where the German team is in is more terrifying, the Netherlands, Chile and Costa Rica.

The boys of the German national team are no longer the familiar group.But the coach of the national team is Klose, the man who is called God.

After retiring from Bayern, Lahm became the top of the club. He never considered going to the national team to coach or anything.A good player does not mean a good coach. There are already many lessons learned.

But this group of boys led by Klose is very good.The generation of Muller and Gotze basically retreated before and after the World Cup in Qatar, and after the World Cup in Russia earlier, the fairy tale generation of Piggy and Podolski all had a perfect curtain call.

The current national team is all young people.But many people also had amazing performances in the World Cup in Qatar.

Because the World Cup was held in Jianguo's homeland this time, the whole family decided to watch all the games together.

Ambo didn't have a rock climbing competition during this period, so he also called Adam along.Although Adam has never been interested in football, he is still very happy to travel.

Marx just happened to be on summer vacation, so he stuffed a lot of books in his luggage, and he even made a list, planning to visit all the museums in the imperial capital.

Oliver and Mario are also very excited. They have already played in the Bayern youth training camp. This kind of international competition has made them both a little out of control.

Roland and Daniela are both a little older, and they don't want to take long-distance travel anymore. They chose to enjoy the 3D live broadcast of the game in front of the TV.

However, Jianguo's father and mother seem to be still in good spirits, and they traveled all the way here early.

The whole family gathers together, eats, drinks, and watches games. They are really no different from ordinary tourists.

"Why do I feel that you are becoming less and less enthusiastic about football?" Jianguo helped Oliver and Mario wrap roast duck slices. Ambo was already very proficient, while Max relied on careful observation and practice to do it as well as Anbo. Platinum is just as good.

"I have retired here for many years, and now football is just a hobby for me." Lahm shrugged and smiled easily.Although he can sit on the sofa and watch football games leisurely now, he still scolds while watching.

"Then Dad, you have too many hobbies." An Bo said while eating, "In fact, what you love most is money."

"How can you play such a high-risk sport without money." Marx said lightly.

"How can you buy so many weird books without money!" Ambo objected, but she completely forgot that Max was mocking herself.

"Oh, Dad, don't take my pocket money."

"Dad, I want to buy a skateboard, you promised me!"

Oliver and Mario yelled together, they don't know why they always feel that the family's money will be lost by the elder sister and elder brother, and then there will not be much left for them.

"Father promised you, he will definitely give it." Ram touched the heads of the two sons, thinking that it is good for them to have a sense of crisis.

"Okay, let's eat, be careful of indigestion." Jianguo didn't want to discuss such a bad topic at the dinner table, so don't scare the child.

***

The match in the group stage was extremely exciting, which made many fans very excited.Over the past decade or so, the situation in international football has changed.Many traditional strong teams are in a sluggish state, but the lean camels are bigger than horses, and they can still occupy the top of the FIFA rankings.And many small national teams in Africa, Asia and South America have sprung up, and they also enjoy a large position on the list.

From the dozens of teams shortlisted for the World Cup group stage this time, it can be seen that the sport of football has really developed to the world.Although the 32 teams from five continents are not evenly divided, compared with the hegemony of European and South American teams at the beginning of this century, the African and Asian teams are in a very good state this time.

After the group stage, both the Chinese team and the German team have qualified.In the top sixteen, there are both veteran teams and rising stars.But these two teams failed to meet together. The Chinese team had to face Argentina, while Germany faced England.

The suspense of Germany playing against England is actually not that big. England, which was already a strong bow in the group stage, was crushed after encountering the German chariot.Fortunately, it was only 3:0, and it did not create the tragedy in Brazil more than ten years ago.

And China is extremely difficult for Argentina. Although it has undergone many reforms, it can only accumulate the experience of one generation in the past ten years.Compared with Argentina, a veteran team, the Chinese men's football team is a piggy waiting to be slaughtered.

"I also hope to see China and Germany meeting in the final." Jianguo couldn't help sighing as he looked at the Chinese team that had already scored two goals.

"Are you serious?" Ram frowned. His eyebrows were still so thick, which was very different from the volume of hair on the top of his head.

"It's natural to be dark when you're a fan." Jianguo smiled, "In fact, I was already desperate many years ago, and now I look at it and feel nothing."

The fans around were still the same as they were decades ago, and started to curse.From players to coaches, from turf to referees.

"It's okay, Mommy, we will avenge you." Amber would watch all kinds of games every year. Although Argentina would beat the German team in some unimportant games, they would kneel every time in the World Cup.

"Your words are too unscientific." Max glanced at his sister, and started to educate her again.

"Okay, okay, I know I was wrong. The German team will avenge the Chinese team. When I saw that Argentina was poured eight goals in!" An Bo quickly changed her words. She has learned to behave now. Stop forcing a debate with Marx.

"Eight balls, eight balls!" Oliver and Mario both yelled, but the people around saw their mixed-race looks and thought that their family supported Argentina, so they squinted at them.

"Hey, that's Lahm, Lahm!" At this moment, a middle-aged and elderly fan suddenly recognized Lahm, "Hey, the former double captain of the German national team and Bayern! Damn, captain, give me Sign it!"

Looking at the Chinese team jersey that the man took off, Lahm hesitated for a moment, but still signed it for him.After all, after so many years, it is really not easy to meet someone who knows me in another country.

Jianguo, Ambo, Max, Oliver and Mario all stared at Lahm, with expressions that said, "You still miss your time as a player!"

Ram nodded silently and looked into the stadium.

"Oh!"

The Chinese team scored another goal, and even Lahm couldn't help screaming.

In the end, the Chinese team lost the game 4:0.

However, the German team played until the semi-finals, so the family still had a lot of time to stay here and eat delicious food.

"I love roast duck." Marx said suddenly when he was about to leave the imperial capital and return to Munich.

"Honey, your dad's roast duck stove is about to be repaired. Just remember to come back from school every week, and mom will make sure that the taste is exactly the same." Jianguo comforted Max and rubbed his head.

"Thank you mom, but it's impossible to be exactly the same. First of all, the water quality is different..." Max looked down at his mother, and then started again.

"Shut up!" Jianguo and Ram shouted together, along with Ambo.
