Chapter 265 We are out!

The Chinese team that has returned to normal did not give Oman any more chance to have a dream.

In the 77th minute, Zhou Yi was pushed to the ground by the opponent's player while protecting the ball in front of the opponent's penalty area, and the referee gave the Chinese team a free kick.

This free kick, which is 28 meters away from the goal, will be taken by Hao Junmin.

The free kick he kicked bypassed Oman's wall and then entered the goal...

"Hao Junmin!!! Ahhhhhhhhh! What a wonderful free kick! 3:1! The Chinese team won this game!" He Ping shouted excitedly. What excited him was not the goal, but the meaning of the goal - the victory was decided!

If the Chinese team defeated Oman away, they would be able to advance to the World Cup finals two rounds ahead of schedule!

This is the common goal and dream of all Chinese footballers - including media reporters, commentators, fans, players, coaches, and Football Association officials!

For this dream, Chinese football has worked hard for countless years, and forty-four years has resulted in a release in the top ten games in 2001. Then Chinese football entered a trough, and it was no longer time to see the light of day again. Unexpectedly, since 2011, good news has appeared one after another, which has given everyone a little hope.

In the Asian Cup in early 2011, the Chinese team was not favored. Even before the head coach of the national team went on a battle, they said that the Chinese team was third-rate in Asia. As a result, under the leadership of Zhou Yi, the Chinese team made it to the final. If it weren't for being suspended for a foul in the semi-finals and could not have been in the final, the finals might not have been the Japanese team.

At the 2012 London Olympics, the National Olympic Team, formed with the Five Little Dragons who played football in Europe as the core, was unstoppable and eventually defeated the Japanese National Olympic Team and won the gold medal in the Olympic football event, creating the history of Chinese football and also creating the history of Chinese Olympic Games. Before that, the only gold medal record of the Chinese sports delegation in the Olympic big ball event was the Chinese women's volleyball team, so the women's volleyball team can be called "spirit". The results of the National Olympic Team at the London Olympics created a new history. In the big ball event, Chinese male athletes also earned gold medals.

When it came to the top ten matches in 2013, the national team that supplemented the Olympic champion lineup also performed well in the World Cup qualifiers, which gave many fans the hope of reaching the World Cup finals again.

If the Chinese team hadn't lost to Qatar unexpectedly at home, the Chinese team might have received a ticket to Brazil in advance...

So the topic of the possibility of the Chinese team participating in the Brazil World Cup is not a sudden rise in the past few days, but has lasted for a long time. Since last year, the Chinese team tied Japan away and defeated Australia at home, everyone has been talking about this topic.

Everyone is mentally prepared.

But when happiness really comes suddenly, the huge impact still caught everyone off guard.

In fact, He Ping knew that before this game, domestic CCTV prepared two plans. One was naturally the Chinese team defeated Oman away and won the right to participate in the World Cup finals in advance. CCTV will have a series of special reports and program arrangements, and it is detailed how to play the subtitles.

Another solution is that the Chinese team was tied by Oman away or simply lost to Oman and could not qualify in advance. What should CCTV do?

This is no secret, nor is it the exclusive method of CCTV. All media will prepare two sets of plans in advance when facing such major events - successful and failed.

Of course, everyone hopes that the failure plan will not come in handy...

After Hao Junmin scored a goal, the Chinese fans in front of the TV cheered.

This game is so popular that live broadcasts are arranged in domestic bars, restaurants, and even cinemas.

Instead of being at home, everyone gathered in the above places to watch the game with others.

Now, they all hugged each other tightly to celebrate the victory - although the game is not over yet, everyone thinks that the Chinese team will win this game.

This is different from the game twelve years ago. At that time, the Chinese team defeated Oman at home only 1:0. During the game, Oman could tie the score at any time.

Now the Chinese team can lead Oman by two goals!

Such a huge gap in strength makes the lead of the two balls look like an insurmountable natural barrier.

The scenes of fans celebrating wildly were also filmed by TV stations from all over the country. These are not only news materials, but also precious records of Chinese football's second time to enter the World Cup finals.

Several years later, it will be released in the form of a documentary to let people see what the situation of Chinese football at that time.

The Chinese fans in the camera were filled with tears and cheered and ecstatic. After experiencing the dark time after the World Cup in Japan and South Korea, Chinese fans were more deeply moved by today.

This day was too difficult!

On the Internet, it's even more lively.

Some people couldn't wait to swim the screen: "We won!" "We qualify!" "We are here in Brazil!" Such words.

Everyone was discussing the situation after qualifying.

Although the Internet is a virtual world, everyone does not face to face, cannot see other people's expressions, or hear other people's voices, but from these words and emoticon pictures, everyone can easily release their feelings.

The "World Cup Finals" has always been the highest pursuit and goal of Chinese football: the World Cup champion is not realistic, and everyone is satisfied if they can participate in the World Cup Finals.

During each World Cup, Chinese media will devote a lot of energy, manpower and material resources to report sports events. The scale of the reports is no less than that of the Olympics, and the attention is not as fast as that of the Olympics.

But you should know that the Chinese team did not participate in events that their country's media and fans paid so much attention.

This is a reality that makes people feel that they don’t know what to say. As an unrelated bystander, it is really amazing to be able to participate fully to such an extent. It is difficult to find a second example in the world where the team of their own country has not participated but is so influential at home.

Football is the world's number one sport, but if it's just the number one sport played by others and has nothing to do with you, then what's so rare?

During the World Cup, there were some supporters of the German team, some supporters of Brazil, some dead fans of Argentina, fans of England, Spanish hardcore, supporters of France, Italy, the Netherlands..., and even Japan and South Korea, there are a large number of fans in China.

After the team they supported was eliminated in the World Cup, fans could cry like tears.

When the teams they support win in the World Cup, they are like the festival.

But we cannot say that they are not patriotic, admire foreign countries or fawn on foreign countries.

However, the inner emotions of the majority of fans cannot be supported by Chinese football, so they need to go outside to find spiritual support.

If the Chinese team is very powerful and can participate in the World Cup finals every time, I believe that no matter how Chinese fans support Brazil, Argentina, Germany, England, etc., they must put support for the Chinese team first.

It’s a pity that in the past so many years, the Chinese team has not been able to get their support - they can’t even participate in the World Cup, so what else can they support?

Now that the Chinese team has returned to the World Cup, they have found a spiritual sustenance again. Perhaps in the World Cup, they will still support the teams they originally supported, but when there is a Chinese team game, the Chinese team will always be the first choice.

In reality and on the Internet, Chinese fans are celebrating qualifying.

Although the game has not ended yet, the Chinese team's coaching seat is also in a joyful atmosphere.

Gao Hongbo and his assistants all showed smiles on their faces.

Everyone knows that this game is sure to win. There is no suspense.

That's true.

Next, after the game restarted, the Chinese team played easily. They were leading two goals and played whatever they wanted, without Gao Hongbo going to the sidelines to make adjustments.

If Oman wants to attack desperately and come out in full swing, the Chinese team will fight back and can score another goal.

If Oman is afraid of the Chinese team's counterattack, shrinks its defense, and is unwilling to attack, then the Chinese team doesn't mind slowly dealing with them and spending the game time. Anyway, the score is maintained until the end of the game, and they won.

Today, the Chinese team is completely invincible.

Finally, five minutes after injury time, the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game.

The first sentence was posted on the TV broadcast screen that Chinese fans watched: "We have qualified!!"

When this scene appeared in front of everyone, many old fans were stunned for a moment. In a trance, they thought they had traveled back to October 7, 2001, at the Wulihe Stadium in Shenyang, when the Chinese team defeated Oman 1:0, the same sentence flew out on the TV screen: We have qualified!

In front of the TV, the young man was cheering and roaring at the top of his throat, while the fans over thirty were almost all in tears...
