Chapter 890 Top 8 Is Our Goal

It is destiny that the opening game of the World Cup in South Africa is South Africa VS China. Although there are still 15 days before the start of the game, the atmosphere of the World Cup has already spread in South Africa.

When Dong Fangzhuo first arrived in Kepler, South Africa, he was warmly welcomed by local fans.

Although he is a rival in South Africa, he has many fans here. There are many Manchester United fans, Inter Milan fans and Dong Fangzhuo's personal fans.

And reporters from various countries who had already arrived in advance also gathered around to watch.

"Dong,"

"Dong,"

"Dong!"

Dong Fangzhuo felt as if he had returned to his homeland. He was warmly welcomed here, and he also stopped very enthusiastically.

"Dong, what is your Chinese team's goal for this World Cup?"

The "Times" reporter excitedly held up the microphone and pushed through the chaotic fans to ask Dong Fangzhuo questions.

Dong Fangzhuo was thinking about this issue while enthusiastically signing autographs for the fans.

He really hasn't thought about what the Chinese team's goal is.

But at the swearing-in meeting of the Chinese team, it seems that the leaders of the Football Association said that China’s goal is to enter the quarterfinals?

"Should be in the quarterfinals."

Wow

The crowd surged.

Although I find it incredible what Dong Fangzhuo said, the Chinese team is now in the group of death, and I don’t know whether they can qualify. They actually set their goals so high?

South Africa is the host, Uruguay is the traditional top three in South America, and France was the runner-up in the last World Cup. Can the Chinese team really qualify?

?Although you are the number one star in the world, your words are too sharp.

"Do you think the Chinese team can easily break through the group stage?"

"We have to have ideals. If we don't have ideals, what's the difference between us and salted fish? Do you think other teams can easily break through the group stage?"

Dong Fangzhuo asked with a smile.

His rhetorical question really stunned the reporter, but after thinking about it for a while, he still insisted.

"The French team should be fine."

"Their strength should be much higher."

"Uruguay is also very strong."

"Haha, the game hasn't even started yet, how dare you be so sure?"

"Let's wait and see, maybe France will regret being in Group A."

Dong Fangzhuo knew that in the past, the French team was directly eliminated and went home without even qualifying for the group stage.

In this World Cup, the reason why the French team was able to advance to the finals was also because of a handball from Henry that eliminated Ireland...

Who dares to say that history will not repeat itself?

"Dong, the betting company has published the odds for the top scorer in the World Cup. You are not currently ranked first. The first ones are Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Torres. You are only ranked No. 1. Four, what do you think?"

"this……"

"The bookmakers must have forgotten that I was the top scorer at the last World Cup."

"Haha, I think the gambling company will lose money. Well, actually I think the honor of the best scorer is rare. Messi and Ronaldo are both great scorers. If they can win the best scorer, The shooter is normal. If he can win every game with a score of 1:0, I am not interested in this shooter."

"Which team do you think has a better chance of winning this year's World Cup?"

"Spain." Dong Fangzhuo didn't even think about it. Who else could it be besides Spain?

"Spain is at its peak in recent years, and no team can compare with them. The midfield composed of Xavi and Iniesta is too strong. I don't mean to disrespect other teams, but Spain is a level stronger. They Having won the 2008 European Cup, the World Cup is definitely their goal now, and this is their best chance to win the championship."

“Isn’t Brazil’s Magic Quartet strong?”

"It's very strong, but it's still far behind Spain. The World Cup stage is very about team spirit. I think Spain can go to the end, but I think any team can compete with them, and that's the Netherlands. This is This team plays very pragmatically, which can be seen from their performance in the qualifiers. If they can seize the opportunity, maybe..."

Dong Fangzhuo thought of Robben's missed solo shot in the World Cup final, which was a huge tragedy...

“What about Argentina and Portugal?”

"Portugal is very united, they have Cristiano Ronaldo, they should be able to reach the semi-finals."

"As for Argentina..."

Dong Fangzhuo thought about it and decided to disgust Argentina.

"If Zanetti and Veron were still there, I think Argentina would still be good, but now, only they think they are a strong team. My personal suggestion is to prepare that Madonna song."

Madonna's song...

“Don’t cry for me Argentina?”

"Yes."

The scene burst into laughter instantly. Dong Fangzhuo's words were very humorous, but they also hurt the hearts of Argentine fans.

In fact, in Argentina, Dong Fangzhuo has many Argentine fans, because Argentine fans love Wujiwu. They like Cambiaso, Zanetti, Milito and Samuel.

Naturally, they will also like Dong Fangzhuo and Inter Milan.

Of course, Argentinian fans also had mixed reactions to Dong Fangzhuo's remarks.

Later, the Argentinian newspaper "Ole" reprinted the interview and put Dong Fangzhuo's original words online.

Fans in Argentina started to quarrel. Some people despise Dong Fangzhuo, while others agree with what Dong Fangzhuo said.

"What he said is bullshit. If the Chinese team qualified second in the group, Argentina could teach them to be good people!"

In the eyes of many Argentine fans, Argentina will win the first place in the group. Once they win the first place in the group, they will definitely face the second place in Group A in the knockout round.

Obviously Argentinian fans are happy to see this scenario...

"Maradona's team has a very strong offensive power this year. Messi can take revenge in the World Cup. Whether it is the Champions League final or the Olympic final, the hatred will be avenged at the same time!"

"How can the Chinese team's poor defense be able to withstand the attacks of Messi and Aguero?"

There are also many Argentine fans who hold objections.

"Argentina seems to be very strong on the surface, but the Chinese director is actually right. This Argentine team may not be united. Maradona has not yet found a suitable playing style for Argentina. He stumbled in the qualifiers and has not formed himself at all. system, Maradona wanted to borrow Barcelona’s style of play, but the Argentine team did not have midfielders like Xavi and Iniesta.”

This is probably what the idea of ​​painting a tiger turns into a cat.

"If a veteran like Zanetti is not recruited into the national team, this in itself is a very dangerous signal. As the saying goes, if a family has an old man, if there is a treasure, is it a good choice to give up Zanetti and Veron? ?”

"No matter how much you argue, it's useless. Let's qualify in the group first and then talk about it!"

When it was almost dusk, Dong Fangzhuo arrived at the training base of the Chinese team.

As soon as he arrived at the base, he was scolded by Zhu Heyuan.

"You came here alone?"

"You came to register for the national team without saying a word?"

“Do you know how chaotic South Africa is?”

"What if you are kidnapped by locals?"

Zhu Heyuan beeped a lot, but he just said that Dong Fangzhuo had not considered personal safety at all. Dong Fangzhuo should have informed the national team in advance, and at least there should have been two security guards around him to protect him. In the end, he was just like an ordinary traveler. Here it comes...

"You are a national treasure, you know? You are not your own, you belong to the country!"

"Oh! I was wrong." Dong Fangzhuo still smiled, but looked at his old friends in the distance.

Familiar Zhu Ting, Feng Xiaoting and others.

Then his feet unconsciously stepped over there.

"Hey, I'm talking to you!"

"This guy hasn't realized the security issue yet!"

"..."

Later, Zhu Heyuan found four security guards from the security company, specially assigned to Dong Fangzhuo, and told Dong Fangzhuo the preparation rules for the World Cup in South Africa...

This time the national team is basically all old faces. Except for Zheng Zhi and Li Weifeng, all the others are former players of the National Youth Team.

These players are all Dong Fangzhuo’s old comrades.

In the evening of the same day, Dong Fangzhuo returned to the team, which also marked the official start of the Chinese team's World Cup journey.

Domestic AV Radio 5 also made a special report on China.

"This is the best time, the best time for Chinese football."

"We have reason to believe that in this World Cup, Chinese football will take another step towards the world..."

"Dong Fangzhuo, Chen Tao, Feng Xiaoting, Mao Jianqing, Zhao Xuri, Huang Bowen...these children from the Dutch World Youth Championship have fully grown up. They have become the main players in their respective clubs, and they also carry the present and future of Chinese football. "

"We don't know what results they will achieve in 2010, but they will definitely have a wonderful World Cup."

"The Chinese team is divided into Group A in this World Cup. This group includes France, the runner-up of the last World Cup, Uruguay, the top three traditional South American teams, and South Africa, the host of the World Cup. The qualifying situation is very serious, but compared with 2006 In 2010, the Chinese team was even stronger."

"And China is also fortunate to be the team in the opening match. On the evening of June 11, the Chinese team will perform the opening match against South Africa."

"According to the data from the betting company, they think this game is likely to be a draw. The South African team has the home field advantage, while the Chinese team has Dong Fangzhuo. Whether we can play well in the World Cup, this game is the top priority. For In preparation for this game, Krauchen has prepared three friendly matches. The opponents in the friendly matches are quite targeted. Cote d'Ivoire, Nigeria and Cameroon have all been played, but the effect is not ideal. We have drawn all three games..."

"The Chinese team used to be known as the king of friendly matches, but they have been unable to win recent games. I think it is mainly due to the absence of Dong Fangzhuo and lack of offensive power. But fortunately for us, our defense did a very good job. There is a saying that goes well. , offense wins applause, defense wins victory, now that Dong Fangzhuo has returned to the team, we firmly believe that we are well prepared..."
