CHAPTER 19 A REAL PROBLEM

The Weibo post Sun Pan posted online immediately attracted countless people's attention.

After the Chinese team tied the Netherlands, although it was already past two in the morning on June 14, it was still very lively on the Internet.

The Chinese fans who watched a wonderful game were so excited that they couldn't sleep at all, and some were waiting for the next game.

They took the time to refresh their Weibo, wanting to see any news and jokes about the game that just ended on the Internet, and they can't wait to share their inner joy.

Then these fans discovered Sun Pan’s newly posted Weibo: "I’m glad we were able to get a key point. But we lost one goal and performed not perfectly. I swear here that we will guarantee that the Spanish team will not score in the next game against Spain! If we can’t do it, I will broadcast the live broadcast!!"

Everyone was shocked. At first, someone replied carefully below: "This... has Brother Sun's Weibo account been stolen?"

There is also someone @Weibo Administrator and asked them to handle account theft.

But when Zhou Yi reposted this Weibo post and added: "In ancient times, Xiang Yu had burned his boats to inspire morale. Now, there was Panpan live broadcast and FLAG was able to fly up. It was so heroic to use such a huge sacrifice to encourage the morale of the team!"

Only then did everyone realize that Sun Pan had not been stolen...

Then the Internet went crazy, and everyone came to watch and forward comments, teasing Sun Pan while he was happy to tie the Dutch team.

What Chinese fans like most is that although they are big stars shining on TV, in real life and on the Internet, every ordinary person can come into contact with and joke with them. They are no longer just the kind of celebrity characters who can only exist on the wall posters and TV news before, they still have joys, sorrows, and happiness, like ordinary people.

Everyone can interact with them easily online.

"Brother Sun is so hard. In fact, you have performed very well against the Netherlands team. There is no need to set up this FLAG..."

"Saint Sun Pan's performance in this game is really awesome! Of course, we also like you in the Spanish game!"

"Brother Sun, do you really want to live broadcast Chixiang? I will definitely watch it when the time comes!"

"The big killer is here! When did Panpan say that if he loses the ball, he will broadcast the live broadcast the game? Do you still remember? The National Olympic Team played South Korea! He said that if he loses the ball, he will broadcast the game the game. What's the result? He didn't let the Korean team score a goal! This time Panpan said this again, which was like 'Don't say it'! I want to pray for the defending champion!"

"Men just have to be more cruel to themselves - Sun Pan."

"This is a savory Weibo..."

"I'm having a midnight snack!"

※※※

During the day, even some traditional and online media reprinted Sun Pan's Weibo, and this Weibo post was talking about the matter. Of course, it was mainly based on jokes, and few people really took this matter seriously.

After the Chinese team achieved satisfactory results, of course, no one would come out to criticize Sun Pan for being vulgar and vulgar at this time.

After all, Sun Pan's Weibo post is just an episode and is not the highlight that everyone really pays attention to.

The highlight everyone is concerned about is still Zhou Yi.

Before the World Cup began, there were two statements about when Zhou Yi would be able to return from injury. One is that he would definitely miss the first two group matches, and the other is that he might have to wait until the knockout stage to play.

Later, with Zhou Yi's injury reply, the first statement was mentioned the most times, and everyone was more willing to believe the first statement.

After all, if Zhou Yi has to wait until the knockout stage before making a comeback, maybe the Chinese team will be eliminated and returned home, and even if he returns, it will be meaningless. Of course, it is also risky to come back in the last game of the group stage. If the Chinese team loses the first two group stages, they will be eliminated. By then, Zhou Yi will have to go home in one game of the World Cup. But in general, the first type is still more promising than the second type.

The day before the World Cup opened, Zhou Yi resumed ball training, which gave everyone hope for Zhou Yi to make a complete comeback in the third group stage.

However, until the second group stage, Zhou Yi was still training alone and did not practice with the entire team.

This makes people worry about whether he can make a comeback in the third group match.

After all, football is not a one-person sport, but a team sport. Even if Zhou Yi is physically ready, he has not practiced with the team. How can he ensure his tacit understanding with the team? Then when he is on the court and is not on the same channel as the rest of the team, how can he do it? Not to mention that he is the absolute core of the team. If he is not on the same channel as the team, it means that the team's performance will not be good at all.

Now the Chinese team has won two draws and two points in the first two games of the group stage, retaining the hope of qualifying in the group. As long as they can beat Spain in the last round, there is a high chance of qualifying in the group. Then Zhou Yi's performance after his comeback will naturally become the top priority.

After the match between the Chinese and the Netherlands, the match between Spain and Chile also began, and the final result was a surprising 0:2, and Spain lost the most critical game.

Having lost both games, Spain was eliminated early. For two consecutive World Cups, the defending champions returned home in the group stage, which was also considered a history.

But this is not good news for the Chinese team.

Spain, which has been eliminated in advance, has no burden of winning or losing in the last game. At the same time, they have to fight for honor. They urgently need to use a victory to wash away the shame on their bodies. For the Chinese team, they will not let go of the water, but will do their best. Maybe the defending champion can truly exert the strength of the world champion at that time. It will double the difficulty of the Chinese team in defeating Spain.

But the Chinese coach Lippi has a different view on this issue. Just after the Spanish and Chile match, he was interviewed by a familiar Italian journalist, and then he talked about this: "...I don't think this is the case. In fact, no matter what the game between Spain and Chile is, it is no different for us. Because if we want to qualify from this group, we have to beat Spain in the last game. Similarly, if Spain beat Chile, they will definitely fight for us in the last game because they have hope of qualifying. So I don't care about the results of Spain's game. We just need to be ourselves."

Lippi answered the question with a cigar.

Eight years ago, he led Italy to win the World Cup championship and reached the altar in one game. But four years later, he was knocked down from the altar, and the defending champion he led was eventually disgraced in the group stage.

After that game, Lippi resigned from the Italian national team for the second time. Later, he went to China thousands of miles away to coach Guangzhou Hengyuan. Unexpectedly, he led the team to win the AFC Champions League and completed a historic breakthrough in Chinese football. This old man in his twilight career suddenly found the second spring.

This time, he appeared in the World Cup again as the head coach of the Chinese team.

And he is a temporary firefighting coach.

But this time, compared with South Africa four years ago, he did a good job. After two rounds of group matches, the Chinese team scored two points, maintaining hope of qualifying in the group.

This is a very good takeover for the Chinese team, which lacks the absolute core Zhou Yi. You should know that the opponents they face are the runner-up of the last World Cup. In addition to the fact that they draw Chile in the first game, it is somewhat surprising that the draw of the Netherlands in the second game is definitely the most beautiful game that Lippi has coached the Chinese team in the World Cup.

At the end of the interview, the Italian reporter asked a question that not only Chinese fans are concerned about, but also fans all over the world: "Will Zhou Yi come back in the third game against Spain? How long can he play? Is he a starter or a substitute?"

Lippi replied: "The answers to these three questions are the same - 'I don't know'. I don't know if he can come back in the third game, I don't know if he can start, and I don't know how long he can play. Until now, Zhou Yi has not practiced with the team, whether he can come back, and it also depends on how effective he is in training with the team. I hope he can come back because he is very important to us. But I don't want to take this risk. After all, he is still very young. He is not just participating in this World Cup, I have to be responsible for the future of the players."

But the reporter who is familiar with Lippi doesn't think so. Although there are reasons for this, the more important reason is that he doesn't want to reveal the internal secrets of the Chinese team to him?

After all, Zhou Yi is an important weapon to deal with Spain, and whether his comeback is likely to determine the results of the Chinese team and Spain. So Spain must also be paying attention to the answer to this question...

In fact, he knew that he could not ask something from Lippi so easily, but he still had to ask, maybe Lippi suddenly opened his heart to him?

Of course, he failed.
