Chapter 522 Bowing
Junichi Inamoto was replaced.

Just before the Japanese team re-kick-off, Troussier sent Mitsuo Ogasawara to replace Junichi Inamoto, followed by Bai Xiaotian with a strong player.

Make up for it, just hope it's not too late.

After Jun Inamoto got off the field, Troussier didn't even look at him, let him walk past him, and went back to the bench to sit down.

The Japanese team, which was one goal behind, stepped up their attack. In the 65th minute, Shinji Ono lobbed to Hidetoshi Nakata outside the penalty area from the left. Mingxun Nishizawa prepared to receive Hidetoshi Nakata's header from the right side of the penalty area to ferry the goal, but Li Datou made a clearance first.

In the 71st minute, the Japanese team got a good opportunity to counterattack. The national football team made a mistake in passing the ball in the backcourt and Hidetoshi Nakata got it.

Since then, due to the double blow of rain and goals, the physical strength of the Japanese team began to decline seriously, and the Chinese team defended more easily.

Leading by one goal, Milu replaced defender Yang Pu with the weak Ma Mingyu to strengthen the defense, and the captain's armband was also put on Qi Hong's shoulder.

And Ogasawara Mitsuo did not do more defensive tasks, because Bai Xiaotian also shifted his focus to defense.

In the 86th minute, the Japanese team got another chance to attack. Ono Shinji broke through from the left and passed to Hidetoshi Nakata on the left side of the penalty area. The latter ran horizontally and his shot was blocked by several national football defenders.

In the 92nd minute, Akihiro Nishizawa got the ball near the arc of the penalty area, faltered past the defense of the defender, turned around and shot, and the ball flew out of the baseline again.

After this kick, the Italian bald referee directly blew the whistle for the end of the game.

With a whoosh, more than 1 Chinese fans broke out with the excitement they had accumulated long ago and waved their flags desperately.

Over the Miyagi Stadium, the rain evaporated before it hit the top of the Chinese fans. The camera shot across the red mountains and plains. Every face in the picture was distorted with excitement, but it was the distorted face that was filled with the happiest smile in the world.

Perhaps the cheers and shouts could not release the resentment in their hearts. Under the leadership of who knows, these fans began to sing the national anthem in unison.

"Rise, people who do not want to be slaves"

When the solemn national anthem sounded over the Miyagi Stadium in Japan, all the hugging national football players temporarily stopped celebrating, and spontaneously came to the edge of the plastic track, lined up, facing the fans, and sang together with the fans.

".Fighting the enemy's artillery fire, go forward! Go forward! Go forward!"

When the last note floated in the sky, under the leadership of captain Ma Mingyu, eleven national football players bowed neatly to the fans.

At this moment, whether it was the fans of men, women, young or old in the stands, or the national football players on the field, they all had tears in their eyes.

Fan Zhiyi, Jiang Jin, Ma Mingyu, *** These veterans gathered together and wiped each other's tears, as if recalling the common past.

Director Zhang took off his glasses and kept wiping his eye sockets.Huang Jianxiang didn't wear glasses, wiped his eyes, and continued to talk to the microphone: "The boys of the national football team have tenaciously defeated the Japanese team this time, and have qualified for the quarter-finals."

"At this moment, they not only defeated the Japanese team, but also defeated themselves and history!"

"No amount of money or honor can be exchanged for this victory. Listen! The national anthem echoing in the sky seems to be still lingering in my mind. This is the Miyagi Stadium in Japan. To hear such a loud national anthem, I, I think I will never forget this moment in my life!"

The moment the Chinese team was promoted, fans across the country who were guarding the screens also shouted excitedly.

In Beijing, Shanghai, Shengjing, Nanjing, Tianjin, Wuhan, Sichuan, Guangzhou, Datong, Guizhou and other places, fans spontaneously lined up and marched on the streets holding high red flags.

The scene was no less than the night of the Chinese team's profound success. Everyone knows that Chinese football stinks, it stinks outrageously!
But it is such a stinky team that has created miracles time and time again in the World Cup and defeated its old enemy, the Japanese team.Such exciting news, even some female compatriots who don't know football are ecstatic.

The victory of the national football team caused an earthquake among domestic fans. On the field, after interacting with the fans, the national football players began to get together in twos and threes, or they talked with reporters holding microphones, or exchanged experiences with the coaching staff.

"I didn't score, but I have no regrets!" Facing the camera, Qu Bo was no longer as shy as he was in the national youth team. "Although I didn't play the whole game, I knew I did my best. We also discussed before the game. This game must not be greedy. Everything should focus on scoring and winning. Look, this is the best result, isn't it?!"

"That's right, football is a team competition, and the interests of the collective are more important than anything else." Before the reporter with the microphone finished speaking, he and the camera master looked up at Qu Bo in surprise.

Qu Bo also felt something was wrong. Looking back, he happened to see the defeated Japanese team lined up neatly after wiping away the sad tears from their eyes. They came to the front of the Chinese coaching staff and bowed deeply to Shen Xiangfu and Chi Shangbin.

Shen Xiangfu also hurried forward and patted Hidetoshi Nakata on the back to show comfort.

In the early years, as the first batch of Chinese football players recommended by the Chinese Football Association, Shen Xiangfu played for Fujitsu Club in Japan. After retiring, Shen Xiangfu stayed as a coach at Fujitsu for 8 years.

Chi Shangbin also came to his "disciple" Inamoto Junichi, comforting Inamoto Junichi who couldn't hold back his tears.

In the camera, the veteran goalkeeper Nouko Kawaguchi stepped forward and hugged Daisuke Ichikawa, who was crying bitterly, and said, "You still have a chance, because you are still young." After speaking, tears welled up from the eyes of the two players at the same time.

The four-year test has dyed the hair of many young people white, and how many regrets will remain in the memory of some people forever.

"Japanese football is terrible!" Qu Bo, who was standing next to the reporter, murmured after seeing this scene, "Xiaotian once said that the biggest opponent of the Chinese team in the next ten years is not the invincibility of the Korean team, but the gradually rising Japanese team. It seems that this is true!"

After the Japanese players bowed, they came to the fans collectively.This time, they bowed three times in a row, thanking the domestic fans for coming to the scene to cheer for themselves.

The crying Japanese fans knew that their heroes had no regrets this time. Although they were unwilling to lose, at least the players gave their best and they won a historic breakthrough.

The fans stood in the gradually thinning drizzle and shouted "NIPPON, NIPPON (Japan, Japan)" desperately. Tears and rainwater had already mixed together. The ceremony of paying tribute to each other lasted for a long time.

The entire Miyagi Stadium was half sad and half laughing, no one could do anything to win anyone.

At this moment, Bai Xiaotian, the hero of the game, came to the stands where the home and away fans gathered, took off his jersey and cheered towards the stands.

Many of the fans in the stands were Bai Xiaotian's personal fans. When they saw Bai Xiaotian coming to the audience, they wiped away the tears of sadness or excitement on their faces, and all stood up and stretched out their hands, as if this could bring them closer to their idols.

"BYE-BOY! BYE-BOY! BYE-BOY!" Fans from any country shouted Bai Xiaotian's nickname in unison.

"Is this the contagious power of a superstar? It can bring fans of two different teams together in an instant, cheering collectively." Junichi Inamoto, who came behind Bai Xiaotian, watched this scene in shock, and his memory is still fresh after many years.

The Japanese team No. [-] took off his jersey, folded it neatly, came to Bai Xiaotian's side and said, "Bai Sang, I hope I can exchange jerseys with you."

Bai Xiaotian looked at Junichi Inamoto next to him, and then at the jersey he held in a ball in his hand, grinned at the corner of his mouth, blinked at Junichi Inamoto and said, "Mr. Inamoto, I think you have got what you want today. This jersey has already been reserved!"

"Are you scheduled to go out?"

Before Junichi Inamoto could react, he saw Bai Xiaotian swung hard and threw the jersey in his hand to the place where the most female fans were in the stands.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!" The female fans looked at No. 12 of the Chinese team flying towards them, their eyes glowing green.One by one, they stood up, stretched out their arms desperately, and grabbed the jersey.

Hearing the ear-piercing screams, the surrounding male fans all backed away and looked at the girls in the middle stretching their arms like wolves and tigers.

When he saw his jersey being tightly embraced by a female fan, Bai Xiaotian blew a kiss to her, then took Junichi Inamoto's jersey and put it on his shoulder, and returned to the player tunnel gracefully.

Ten years later, when Junichi Inamoto married the famous Japanese variety show host Miho Tanaka, he suddenly discovered that there was a No.
