When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, the Chinese players and coaches who were waiting on the sidelines could not hide their excitement and rushed to the stadium to celebrate with the fans on the stadium.

Lippi walked over to shake hands with Spanish coach Bosque.

Boske is still very graceful, congratulating the Chinese team on their victory and wishing the Chinese team good luck in the next World Cup.

Then he shook his head and left the court.

The Spanish dynasty collapsed as the golden generation grew older, which is a stage that any dynasty must go through.

However, he lost all three games, which made Spanish football lose all face. As the team's head coach, he must have a lot of responsibility.

Spain's World Cup has ended, and his troubles are probably just beginning...

After shaking hands with Boske, Lippi turned to his team and participated in the celebration with the team.

Four years ago in South Africa, he and his Italian team tasted the bitterness of being eliminated in the group stage of the defending champions.

But four years later, he leads a young team and enjoys the joy of making history.

Destiny is just that.

Zhou Yi did not celebrate with his players, but was immediately pulled to the mixed zone for interview by reporters.

Everyone wants to hear Zhou Yi’s view on this game and his outlook on entering the knockout round.

"...I'm glad we can beat Spain and qualify for the group qualifying." In front of the camera, Zhou Yi smiled. "This is the result of unity of the whole team. Next, we will prepare for the knockout round, and we will maintain this mental outlook... We will not be in the first round of the knockout round. I have this confidence and we will strive to go further. From now on, every step we have is creating history... We hope to bring more joy to Chinese fans and make them happy longer..."

A reporter cared about Zhou Yi's own body. After recovering from injury, he was given a nearly ninety minutes of an injection. Did he feel tired and did he react to the injured area?

Zhou Yi shook his head: "Fortunately, I'm not very tired. I don't feel anything about the injured area. In fact, it was not a serious injury, but the timing of the injury was very bad. I was injured half a month before the start of the World Cup. If there were no World Cup, the injury would probably have no influence at all... I feel very good now, and the previous injuries would not affect my performance next time."

The Chinese reporter did not ask questions while asking Zhou Yi. After thanking Zhou Yi, he let him go back to celebrate the victory with his teammates. It would be better to be with his teammates at this time.

Zhou Yi ran back to his team. They were in front of the stands where Chinese fans gathered to thank the Chinese fans who came from afar, so Zhou Yi also joined in.

Whether in the stands or under the stands, everyone was very happy, with the brightest smile on their faces.

Although this Chinese team had brilliant performances in the Asian Cup finals before participating in the World Cup and had highlights of defeating the Japanese team at home in the World Cup qualifiers, none of those moments could be compared with the present.

Because this is the World Cup, this is the moment when the Chinese team enters the knockout stage, and this is the highlight of Chinese men's football so far.

Liu Jianhong said with emotion when he saw this scene: "How could football be the world's number one sport? The first victory of the Chinese team in the history of the World Cup has attracted so many people's attention and made so many people happy. It feels like we won the gold medal in the Olympics, and this is just a victory in a game... During the Brazil World Cup, the Chinese team will touch the hearts of many Chinese people. During this period, the keywords of the entire society are probably the World Cup and the Chinese team..."

The Chinese team won a game in the World Cup and reached the World Cup knockout stage historically, which made Chinese fans very excited. Although it was already two o'clock in the morning of Beijing time, many fans were still sleepless. They were browsing all the news about the national team online, browsing news about the post-match interviews, browsing various latest news on Weibo, browsing posts and jokes on the forum...

Everyone is involved, it’s like a carnival feast.

The next day, when everyone woke up, the carnival reached its climax.

Many people who are not fans have joined in.

Although they are not fans and do not stay up late to watch the game, the Chinese team still needs to pay attention to such an important event as the World Cup.

When they heard that the Chinese team actually defeated the defending champion Spain and obtained the right to qualify in the group, they were all very surprised, and after the surprise, they were excited.

In the past, every time there was a Chinese team competition, the Internet was always full of jokes that mocked and joked about the Chinese team.

But this time, such jokes are gone. Instead, they are all kinds of jokes that praise the Chinese team.

Previously, the official Weibo of the Chinese national team once posted a "sorry" Weibo post after a failure. Every time the Chinese team loses, the Weibo post will be transferred out by netizens to whip the corpse.

This time, this old Weibo post was dug out again, but the purpose was not to whip the corpse, but to repost it in various heartwarming replies: "No need to say sorry anymore!"

"You guys performed great, really!"

"Actually, the blogger can delete this article. Chinese football has proved with practical actions that you don't need to bear the infamy all the time!"

"No need to apologize this time. It's our turn to apologize to you and apologize for your previous ridicule and abuse!"

Traditional media also joined in. The front page headlines of major newspapers this morning were almost all news that the Chinese team won the match against Spain and obtained the right to qualify in the group. There are Weibo posts that specifically collect these front page headline pictures on the Internet, and posted them to cheer the carnival.

Those Weibo accounts that are not always related to football are also actively discussing topics related to the Chinese team at this time.

It's really the whole people participated.

As Liu Jianhong said, this is the charm of football, and this is the best proof that football is still the world's number one sport.

Even individual competitions in the Olympics cannot be compared with football, and basketball, the second largest ball, cannot do it.

Only football can truly attract such widespread attention and discussion, whether it is victorious or failure, it can set off a public opinion storm in this society.

In this relatively peaceful era, sports are actually wars without gunpowder, confrontation between countries. Football is the most extreme one.

In every Olympic Games, everyone will care so much about the gold medal list, medal list, and the competition for every game.

But the Olympics are a comprehensive sports event after all, and they include many events.

As for football, just a single event, it can achieve an influence comparable to the Olympics. This is not the meaning imposed by a politician on football, but it was naturally formed after a century of national liberation. Football was pushed to the world with the British colonization, and also witnessed the rise and independence of ethnic groups in South America, Africa and Asia. In this process, football often carries the sustenance of a nation and a country on self-esteem and honor - these emerging countries are weak in strength against those old and powerful countries, but on the football field, both sides are indeed fair, and even those backward countries are better, so the victory of football became particularly important at that time.

There was once a movie in China in the 1990s called "Kyoto Ball Heroes", which tells the story of the Boxer Rebellion in the late Qing Dynasty, which well illustrates that emotion.

Not to mention emerging countries, after the old capitalist powers encountered great disasters, football can become a "good recipe" to make up for the spiritual trauma of the people and boost national morale. After World War II, Germany almost fell into scorched earth, and the defeat in the World War also caused the German people to suffer a heavy blow both materially and spiritually. At this time, the "Bern Miracle" of the German national team winning the World Cup in Switzerland became very important. That championship greatly boosted the confidence of the German people in rebuilding the country and homeland. This is the best example of football helping the country.

Of course, any sport actually has such effects.

But because of the power of the empire that the sun did not set, their fatality spread all over the world, and their merchant ships and sailors on gunboats traveled all over the world, and naturally spread the modern football invented by Britain all over the world. Therefore, compared with other sports, football was the sport with the majesty of the British Empire back then, and naturally became the largest sport in the world.

In a sense, football is even the common language of the world. People from two countries with different languages ​​cannot talk and chat, but they can get together to play football. They are all familiar with the rules of this sport, and the emotions they feel from this sport are the same and the same.

When a person feels happy for the victory of the football match, people from another country will not be surprised to see this scene, but will smile with understanding and understanding.

This is football.
