There is a belief called football

Chapter 641 To Moscow

The final was held at the "Luzhniki Stadium" in Moscow. For the Chinese team, this venue is no stranger.

The last match between the Chinese team and Portugal in the group stage was held here.

Back in Moscow, the Chinese players felt a lot of emotion. At that time, even Li Qiao never thought that the Chinese team could go so far.

This is the last game of this World Cup, and the curtain of the World Cup in Russia is about to fall.

Generally speaking, this World Cup was quite successful. Except for the premature exit of the Russian team, the atmosphere of the entire World Cup in Russia is still very enthusiastic, especially the attendance rate of each game is basically above 98%.

Before the final, according to the Russian side, there should be more Chinese fans than Argentine fans in the final stadium. This is determined by the geographical relationship. After all, Argentina is too far away from Russia, and Argentina’s economy is not very good.

At the press conference the day before the game, Li Qiao and Stan attended the press conference.

And one of the keywords that appeared most often at the press conference turned out to be Messi.

"Messi",
"Messi",
"Messi",
Almost every question asked is related to Messi, but it is more or less.

"Li Qiao, is your goal to compete with Messi for the top scorer"?
"Li Qiao, do you think you can beat Messi to get the best player"?
"Li Qiao".

Finally Stan couldn't bear it any longer, he went mad, "Here is the press conference of the Chinese team, if you care about Messi so much, you can attend the press conference of Argentina that will be held later."

Everyone has restrained a lot, because now not only Asian reporters know Stan's temper, but reporters all over the world know Stan's personality. If he loses his temper, he may really leave immediately.

"Coach Stan, do you know much about Argentina?"
"certainly",
Stan began to talk eloquently, "Argentina is a great football power, there is no doubt about it. Compared with Argentina, our Chinese team is just a primary school student."

"But the elementary school students you lead have grown up",
Stan smiled subtly, "I don't think so, it takes a long time for a country's football to grow."

Is Stan trying to save character before the finals?

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, because the gap between this and the usual arrogant and domineering Stan was too big.

Actually no, from this World Cup, Stan also sees that there are many problems in Chinese football, such as a weak foundation, this time it is luck, if any of the main players are injured, then Stan will have no one to use.

So if Chinese football really wants to grow into a football powerhouse, there are still many things that need to be done. He and the Chinese Football Association have also talked a lot about the long-term construction of the team. Some have already started, and some are also preparing.

"Actually, when the World Cup was going on, I heard a joke, saying that FIFA stipulates that only 23 people can be submitted for the World Cup. Many countries think it is not enough, but the Chinese team does not have such troubles, because Stan may only have 13 people in the squad."

After speaking, everyone was happy.

"So, I am more optimistic about the Argentine team for tomorrow's game, and what the Chinese team has to do is to enjoy the game."

After Stan finished speaking, the whole world laughed. This Stan is really an old fox, and he put all the pressure on Argentina.

Argentine coach "Martino" immediately laughed when he heard the reporter's remark about Stan.

"I haven't played against him, but I still know him a little bit. Generally speaking, he is a very intelligent head coach, and he is also very good at getting players to unite around him. I think he is very good, at least better than me."

"I have worked for Barcelona and now I am working for Argentina, but if Barcelona or Argentina need me to recommend a head coach in the future, I will recommend Stan without hesitation."

"What's your opinion on the Chinese team?"
"Unity, can run very well, have one or two top stars, and have a strong desire to win. This is what I know about the Chinese team."

"Then do you think the Chinese team is a difficult team, or do you think it was Argentina's luck to meet the Chinese team?"

Martino shook his head and said seriously, "It is said that the Chinese team helped Argentina a lot by eliminating the German team in the semi-finals, but I don't think so. I think the Chinese team's ability to eliminate the strong German team just showed the strength of the Chinese team."

"Will Argentina's starting lineup be the same as in the semi-finals tomorrow"?
Martino shook his head, "No, I will make some small adjustments, but I will not tell you now, but one thing is for sure, that is, Messi will definitely play."

Everyone laughed, this is also an old thief, if you say it, you don't say it.

"Moscow, we are here," Duan Xuan, Huang Jianxiang, Jiayuan, and Liu Jianhong shouted.

This was an impromptu decision made by the four of them. We took a car to Moscow together. The driver was a Russian driver. He only knew some simple English words, but it didn’t matter, because there was one word he understood—the World Cup.

The driver knew that the four of them were going to Moscow to watch the Chinese team's game, but what he didn't know was that the four of them turned out to be famous commentators in China.

"Jiayuan, if you are with us this time, will the TV station make things difficult for you?"
"Never mind him, at worst, I'll resign too,"
After talking, the four of them laughed, probably because of the relationship between the national football team, Jiayuan also became a lot more cheerful.

In the past, he didn't dare to pursue his dream because of a stable job, but now he feels that since the national football team can reach the finals, what is impossible, maybe he should let go of his burden and pursue his own dream.

"By the way, Jiayuan, if you really resign, then what do you want to do the most?" Duan Xuan asked.

Jiayuan thought for a while, "I want to go to XZ, and go by myself by bicycle."

"Fuck, you kid is so rebellious."

Jiayuan chuckled, "Of course, it's just that I concealed it well."

At this time Huang Jianxiang interjected, "Jiayuan, I heard that you chased after a beautiful host in the station, right?"

Jiayuan's face immediately turned red.

"Don't talk nonsense, no."

"Why are you shy, this Duan Xuan has experience, his wife used to be in our station," Huang Jianxiang continued.

"Are you talking about the leader like that?"
Jiayuan said: "Duan Xuan, is there any secret to office romance, can you tell me."

Duan Xuan said: "The secret is to never let the leader know before it's done."

"Ha ha ha ha",
"Also, you have to be thick-skinned when chasing girls," Huang Jianxiang said.

"The main reason is that I am busy with work and have no hobbies. The only hobby is football",
"Then find someone who likes football," Huang Jianxiang said.

Jiayuan timidly said: "The one I like doesn't like football."

"Then cultivate together",
"But she seems to like Li Qiao, she said she likes Li Qiao."

The three said in unison: "Oh, there is no way."

Jiayuan's face was dark, "It seems that our friendship will be reversed as soon as it is said."

Duan Xuan laughed, "I can't help it, how handsome Li Qiao is, you...".

"What's wrong with me"?
"You're actually pretty handsome without the lights on."
"Ha ha ha ha",
Huang Jianxiang said: "Jiayuan, let me be fair, in fact she just flirts, how many people's dream lover is Li Qiao, how many MMs like Li Qiao".

"However, if you take advantage of your work and get a Li Qiao's jersey for her, then you will take her down."

Jiayuan clapped his hands, "That's right, Jianxiang is still smart, as expected he came out of a crowd of women."

"Ha ha ha ha",
"I'll help you, but you're still teasing me, right?"

Talking and laughing, the four of them came to Moscow unknowingly. After paying the car fare, the four of them separated temporarily, and Jiayuan was going to the news center to report.

We know that Russia is an aerospace power, so the Russians came up with something special.

We know that when the World Cup is broadcast, the stadium will be shot from various angles. For example, in the World Cup in Brazil, there is a classic picture shot from Monte Cristo, and this time Russia will shoot the World Cup stadium from space.

The question is, can it be photographed?
I don't know, it's time to watch the TV broadcast.

The stage for the final has been set up. First, there is the theme song of this cup, and then there is a song and dance performance with Russian style.

The representative of Russia is ballet, so in the theatrical performances before the final, the Russian National Ballet was the finale.

After a short cultural performance, the exciting final was about to begin. The Chinese team and the Argentine team walked into the court led by the referee.

The referee for the law enforcement final is the famous post from England - Clattenburg, who was also the law enforcement referee for last year's Champions League final.

The live camera was on Messi's body for a while, and Li Qiao's body for a while. The meaning is very clear. These two people are the real protagonists on the field today.

When the national anthem was played, many players of the Chinese team turned red-eyed. They couldn't feel this emotion when watching other people's games before, but now the players can completely feel the excitement. It is real and irresistible.

Especially Qi Bing, who usually acts like a fool, but today he was very emotional. Before the game, Qi Bing's father called him. On the phone, Qi Bing's father said that he was the greatest pride in his life. This sentence moved Qi Bing very much.

After the national anthem was played, the two sides took sides. Zhou Dun and Messi took sides in the middle circle.

After greeting each other, the players of both sides returned to their own half, and the players of the Chinese team formed a circle, giving each other final encouragement.

Zhou Dun said: "Although Stan said to enjoy the finals, I know I can't do it, and maybe you can't do it either. I want to touch the golden Hercules Cup."

"So guys, let's fight for a touch of the Hercules Cup."
