Chapter 104 Surpass Maradona and Advance to the Finals
So what if there is one more person fighting? After falling behind by two goals, there were only a few minutes left. Unless the Chinese team itself collapsed, what would Belgium do to reverse it?
Do not believe.
No one believed it.
The Belgian fans didn’t believe it.
God will not come, because God is in the Chinese team.
This goal may not be the most exciting goal in the World Cup, but it is definitely one of the most important goals.
"I remembered that Ronaldo scored a similar goal in 1997, but at that time he was facing the ball, while Dong Fangzhuo had his back to the ball. This ball was more difficult to attack."
"They are all players of the king's level. They are always able to make incredible moves and complete incredible goals."
"Now we just need to wait quietly for the game to end."
"The final is just around the corner."
At this moment, Huang Jianxiang became quiet instead. He did not believe that anything else could take away the Chinese team's right to advance to the finals. The Chinese fans who had been anxious for nearly 90 minutes were no longer noisy. They were like children studying obediently, sitting on chairs waiting for the awards to come...
But many Belgian fans had their eyes red from crying, with despair written on their faces. They had no hope and were invaded by pain.
The Belgian players were struggling in the end. De Bruyne shot two consecutive long-range shots at the last moment, but neither shot threatened the goal guarded by Zeng Cheng.
In the last minute, Hazard continuously attacked the Chinese team's wing on the left, but when he reached the bottom line, his breakthrough was once again blocked by Zhang Lin, and he did not even get a corner kick.
When Zhang Lin kicked the ball out with her big foot, the game was over!
"The game is over!"
"We made it!"
“After the World Cup final in Brazil, we have reached the World Cup final in Russia again!”
"We are the defending champions!"
Huang Jianxiang stood up from the table, raised his arms and shouted.
After the final whistle sounded, the Chinese players could finally release their long-suppressed emotions. The team members hugged each other and celebrated the moment of victory.
Perhaps because they were too excited, Huang Bowen and Feng Xiaoting hugged and danced together on the lawn of the stadium. I just don’t know where this dance comes from and what it symbolizes.
Zheng Zhi quickly ran out of the tunnel, walked into the field, and hugged his teammates one by one. He and Dong Fangzhuo hugged for a long time. It has to be said that the Chinese team's ability to advance to the finals in this game is directly related to Zheng Zhi's outstanding performance.
After celebrating on their own, they went to interact in front of the Chinese fans area, applauding and waving. Simple actions like the team can also make Chinese fans cheer.
"The sound of shouting Dong Fangzhuo's name resounded throughout the sky,"
"We can be proud to say that he has surpassed Maradona. Maradona has won one World Cup championship and one runner-up. Dong Fangzhuo has also reached two finals and currently has one championship and one final. He didn’t play, but at the club level, Dong Fangzhuo completely defeated Maradona.”
“He’s now at least the second guy in history.
"
"There was only one Pele in front of him, and Pele won the World Cup three times."
"I believe this is not the end for him and he can still go to the next level."
At this time, Dong Fangzhuo was far less excited than his other teammates. After the brief excitement, he had already regained his composure. When media reporters rushed in for interviews, he pushed them to other teammates.
Perhaps he is the calmest player and coach in the world, even if he led the team to the World Cup finals.
On the Belgian side, almost everyone was lying on the turf, covering their faces. They were hurt. Several players cried. Courtois, Hazard, and De Bruyne all cried. In their best years, they failed to reach the finals. If they want to realize their dream, they have to wait another four years.
But they are not alone. Among the players who come to this arena, only one team can win the championship in the end. Others have failed, and sadness will follow. No one knows how far they can go. …
"I looked at it and looked at it again, and I can never forget that feeling."
"After turning around, turning around again, we finally return to our former glory."
"The Chinese team has reached the World Cup finals again after four years and is expected to relive its old dream of winning the Hercules Cup four years ago on Russian soil."
…
…
In the locker room, the Chinese players celebrated even more crazily. Everyone took off their clothes, wearing only their underpants, and then opened champagne to celebrate. Although they have not yet won the championship, they are proud enough to have reached the final.
Dong Fangzhuo had already washed himself up in the bathroom and put on a suit. He was going to attend the press conference, and it was Zheng Zhi who followed him to the press conference.
Zheng Zhi is also a man of the hour today, and the kick he dealt to Lukaku is destined to be impossible for him to escape.
When the two of them appeared at the press conference, they immediately caused madness.
"Dong,"
"congratulations,"
"Leading the team to the World Cup finals as a player and coach."
Under everyone's attention, Dong Fangzhuo and Zheng Zhi took their seats.
"Thank you," Dong Fangzhuo smiled slightly and thanked everyone. However, Zheng Zhi next to him seemed very awkward and nervous after he sat down.
"Today is a wonderful day, but also a bit sad, because while we won, we also brought pain to Lukaku." Dong Fangzhuo saw this and went out of his way to help Zheng Zhi resolve the matter first.
"My old captain Zheng Zhi feels very sad and guilty about this. Our entire Chinese team feels very sad about this. Once again, we would like to express our sincere apology to Lukaku."
After Dong Fangzhuo's words, Zheng Zhi's expression softened significantly, and he took the microphone in front of him.
"Yes,"
"I feel quite guilty. I didn't mean to do it, but in order to prevent him from shooting, I had to shovel, but I didn't expect the tragedy to happen. I really had no other thoughts. I just went for the ball. But no matter what , tragedy still happened, I’m sorry, I’m really sorry.”
"We will visit Lukaku with sincerity later." Dong Fangzhuo took over again.
"We also feel sorry for the Belgian national team. They also played a great game and they almost reached the final. They are an extremely strong team and I believe they will come back in four years. They have Such strength. Belgium, France, and Portugal all have unparalleled players. Four years from now, let's see what happens."
