Chapter 206 The Ocean of Joy
The referee hesitated for a while before roaring his whistle, indicating that the goal was valid.
After scoring an own goal, the players of Costa Rica were confused.
The central defender and goalkeeper who passed the ball back were extremely upset with his fists. They still don't understand why they handled the ball like that just now.
The Chinese team players, fans on the scene, and fans watching the game online, were silent for two seconds before they suddenly realized what was going on and all cheered.
This own goal is so important! It directly sent the Chinese team to the World Cup!
God is so kind to Chinese football this time, right?
"It's not a good thing to win!" Gao Hong sighed, only he knew what happened just now.
Not being forced to this point by Jiang Hao, and not being "planned" by the referee at the last moment, Gao Hong was unwilling to make such a move.
The luck of Chinese football is always so memorable. Sometimes, if you don’t use some off-track moves, you really can’t move forward.
Take this World Cup first phase of the qualifiers for example. In the game against the Philippines, the national football team's possession rate reached 58%, and they shot 35 wildly in the game, 14 of which hit the target, while the Philippines only had 8 shots and 4 hits within the goal frame.
In terms of corner kicks, the Chinese national team also had an absolute advantage with 7-1. However, with such a big advantage, the Chinese national team failed to win, which shows how weak the Chinese national team's offense is.
But on the other hand, it also shows that the national football team's luck is really good.
The same is true for the game against Syria. Judging from the scene, the Chinese national football team still has a certain advantage, but Syria's header that was not very threatening was hit by a dead end.
After finally getting equalized, Zhang Mos's "across-like clearance" in the second half turned into an "across-like goal". A own goal turned the Chinese team and Syria into the first place in the group competition with the Philippines to the second place in the group.
Lippi was so angry that she couldn't even cheat her.
It seemed that there was a hand behind the scenes that were manipulating all this.
Today's own goal is considered to compensate Zhang Mos' own goal back then.
...
The Chinese football team once again reached the World Cup finals, and the whole of China fell into a sea of joy.
The fans ran around and rallied their glasses to celebrate, as if they were having a festival.
It's not easy! It took 20 years to reach the World Cup again after 20 years.
Without Gao Hong, I really don’t dare to think about what the outcome would be today.
Although it was finally a Costa Rica team's own goal to pass the game, the Chinese team did not have any chance without the precious goal that Gao Hong had blood-shotted in the long-distance raid.
While netizens were crazily praising Gao Hong and the Chinese team, netizens did not forget to condemn Jiang Hao and the Football Association.
In a game where Gao Hong was sure to win, why didn’t Gao Hong come on the court?
Why does the Football Association indulge Jiang Hao in the actions? What are the tricks here?
Netizens have suggested that law enforcement agencies intervene in the matter and conduct a thorough investigation of all this.
The Football Association responded very quickly this time. After the game, it immediately announced that Jiang Hao was removed from his position as head coach and ordered him to conduct a profound review and reflection.
At the same time, Gao Hong was appointed as the head coach and captain of the new Chinese national team, leading the Chinese football team to the 2022 World Cup.
This result does not satisfy netizens and fans. They feel that the punishment for Jiang Hao is too light.
According to legal experts, the punishment for Jiang Hao can only be at the level of punishment by the Football Association and cannot be raised to the level of the law.
But people in the circle do not think that the punishment for Jiang Hao will be lighter.
Because Jiang Hao angered an extraordinary fan, you can imagine what would happen to his second half of his life.
There are such stains, even his family will be implicated.
It can be said that his life is basically over.
Although the Football Association quickly dealt with Jiang Hao and let Gao Hong take over the position of head coach of the Chinese national football team, the Football Association still accepted major rectifications from above.
The new Football Association was established. Meng Sanwan, the new Football Association chairman, said that he would fully support Gao Hong's work and make every effort to ensure that the Chinese football team compete in the 2020 World Cup, and help Gao Hong launch an attack on the Hercules Cup.
With the support of the Football Association, Gao Hong's career has also flourished in the country.
His business is to use the money he earned in the five major leagues and open a large number of football schools in China. It does not charge tuition fees and supports some children who cannot afford to play but like to play football, and also provides medical injury insurance after injury.
The excellent seedlings will be focused on cultivating them and provide various required resources.
These football schools also offer cultural courses. Even if these football children do not take the path of football in the future, they can still have other skills.
For domestic active players and players of all ages, we will find ways to send them to the clubs in the five major leagues that he controls shares for training, and use the power in his hands to win more opportunities for them to play.
At the same time, Gao Hong also loaned a large number of European and American players from clubs controlled by him to domestic clubs to improve the quality and viewing of domestic leagues.
Gao Hong's popularity and appeal in China are subtly improved because of his skills and all he has done for Chinese football.
Gao Hong's efforts to Chinese football have also been rewarded. His popularity has quickly become the most advertising-worthy athlete in China, and even far exceeds those young and popular actors, making him a new generation of teenagers' health idol.
Gao Hong has won many advertising endorsements from top brands, and Wu Jing even asked him to shoot Wolf Warrior 5 and Wandering Earth 3 together. Gao Hong's powerful money-making ability is enough to compensate for his huge investment in domestic football.
Of course, Gao Hong's high-profile take on advertisements, movies, and even participated in some variety shows has made some fans and netizens worry about whether he will abandon his main business.
In the eyes of this group of fans, they are pursuing Gao Hong because of his skills.
If he can lead the Chinese team to achieve good results in the World Cup, not to mention winning the Hercules Cup, even if he enters the quarterfinals unprecedentedly, he will continue to be their hero.
But if Gao Hong only visited the group stage in the World Cup, his current actions would be despised by them.
For this reason, there have been many wars of words between Gao Hong's loyal fans and these "reasonable fans".
Time flies, and 2022 will soon arrive.
The winter of 2022 is very cold, and some people say that the Little Ice Season is coming.
But the World Cup is held very hot.
And this World Cup is held in winter.
It is unprecedented in winter.
The Chinese team, France team, Peru and Iceland were divided into a group.
This group is therefore called the Death Group.
