Chapter 0890, not what it used to be
Today's meal was really lively.
There are Spanish, Brazilian and Chinese people present.
There are also Barcelona, Inter Milan, and AC Milan. They are old and new friends. You can’t tell the difference between chatting and quarreling...
Especially Long Yu, who has a loud voice, and can switch between various accents very unfluently.
Various slang words were spoken casually, and everyone was stunned for a moment.
The most exaggerated thing is that the accent is not accurate, but everyone can still understand it...
"I am a language genius!"
"hehe……"
Although they are tit-for-tat opponents on the court, they are heroes in their respective teams.
But off the court, these big stars also make all kinds of jokes.
Cesar asked Long Yu: "I suspect you are here just to gather information today."
Long Yu nodded: "Yes, yes."
Cesar: "Don't you even cover it up!"
Long Yu: "I'm so sincere!"
Cesar: "Haha."
Long Yu: "I will definitely score. Then don't blame me for being unkind."
Cesar: "Absolutely impossible!"
Long Yu: "Thankfully you transferred and left Inter Milan in the summer of 2012, otherwise you would have been miserable in the past two seasons."
Cesar: "It's really hard for me to refute this..."
Maicon next to him interjected: "You should feel lucky. If we hadn't both transferred and left at the same time, Milan wouldn't be as successful as it is now."
Long Yu: "Alves, did you hear what Maicon said just now?"
Alves: "What did he say?"
Long Yu: "He said that he was very dissatisfied with you in each of these three games and had objections to you!"
Maicon: "Stop coming! Don't sow discord!"
Long Yu: "Really, that's what he thinks. You can see that he is so angry now."
Maicon: "I can't play because of injury! And I have a chance to play in this game!"
Long Yu: "Oh, okay, I wrote it down. I got a piece of useful information. Thank you Maicon, you are such a good person."
Maicon: "FxxkU..."
Long Yu was playing around with his old teammates, and Chang Ming was chatting happily with his old friends from Barcelona.
When seeing Chang Ming, Barcelona players will do one thing every time.
It's an invitation.
Yonesta: "Ming, your performance in the last game was truly amazing. I am convinced that we lost to the Chinese team led by you."
Chang Ming: "You are very powerful, I'm just lucky."
Busquets: "You are always so humble, otherwise you should go back to Barcelona next season."
Chang Ming: "The connection between these two sentences is a bit inconsistent..."
Harvey: "Come back, I'll make room for you, I can be your substitute, how about that?"
Pique and Pedro also looked forward to it.
Chang Ming shrugged and did not answer: "Do you have any good suggestions for the game against Brazil in a few days?"
Neymar: "Hey, hey, hey, I'm still here, Ming, you've gone too far."
Chang Ming: "Brazil's paper strength is much stronger than ours, so what do you have to worry about?"
Neymar: "You can't say that, you two guys. When I met you for the first time in the Copa Libertadores, I knew that you two guys would definitely become top stars. As expected, we were serious about it.
"
In the 2009-2010 season, Chang Ming left Barcelona for a short loan with Boca Juniors.
In that season, Boca met Santos, led by Neymar, in the Copa Libertadores group stage.
Both games were big scores, with Boca beating Santos twice.
Chang Ming and Long Yu really attracted the attention of top European clubs when they showed off their talents in South American competitions.
Thinking of the past, Chang Ming smiled: "It was really interesting to play football in South America. It was very free."
Neymar also nodded: "Yes, European clubs have a more rigorous style of play."
Chang Ming: "But you played very well in Barcelona, and Messi's position as the number one attacker is almost gone."
Neymar: "Don't make trouble, I'm just a newcomer. By the way, Suarez will be here next season, and our offensive line will be stronger."
Busquets interjected: "Yes, our striker strength continues to strengthen, so you should return to Barcelona next season."
Chang Ming: "You're here again..."
Everyone was talking and laughing, and the meal was very enjoyable.
Looking at their friends from China and Brazil, several Spanish players felt uncomfortable.
Alas, we also want to continue playing...
The group stage ends and the knockout rounds begin.
The World Cup has entered a more cruel journey.
After the Chinese team successfully entered the top 16, more media went to Brazil.
They very much look forward to the Chinese team being able to create greater miracles.
Facing Brazil was originally a game with little suspense, but the Chinese media was full of confidence!
"Southern Sports News": "We can draw with the Netherlands and defeat Spain, why can't we win against Brazil?"
"Football Weekly": "The day has come for Chinese football to rise to prominence! Heading towards the top eight!"
"Football Club": "With Chang Ming and Long Yu, everything is possible for the Huaguo team!"
Faced with such popularity, Sports Wutai will naturally not miss it.
They produced a feature film overnight and presented it to the fans in advance.
The title of the feature film is - "Today is Not What It Used to Be"!
Yes, things are different now.
This day is now in 2014.
This past is the past of 2002.
As the video screen switched, the audience returned to that summer twelve years ago.
That summer, the Chinese national team carried too many expectations.
That was the best era for the Chinese national team.
Although people were scolding me at that time, they were also looking forward to the future.
However, before Chang Ming and Long Yu led the Chinese national team to rise, that national team was already the pinnacle of Chinese football.
On the stage of the World Cup, the first match was against Costa Rica.
Sun Jihai's sudden injury disrupted the deployment of the Chinese team.
In the end, the 0-2 defeat caused the Chinese team to lose the most promising game to score points.
And next, their opponent is Brazil.
In the first ten minutes of that game, the Chinese team actually played back and forth with the Brazilian team.
Especially full-back Xu Yunlong completely blocked Ronaldinho's offense and prevented Denilson's dribbling.
Looking back at the route now, I am still full of praise for those wonderful defenses.
In addition, the exquisite coordination of passing and receiving is also worthy of praise.
Facing the Brazilian team, the Chinese team did not make any mistakes.
All kinds of small cooperation shocked the Brazilian team.
And the shot that hit the goalpost also became a pain in the hearts of Chinese fans.
But in the end, the gap in strength was still unbridgeable.
The disastrous 0-4 defeat made the Chinese team completely lose the possibility of qualifying from the group.
The last game was against Türkiye, and there was nothing to say about the 0-3 defeat.
After losing to the final champion and third runner-up in a row, the Chinese team regretted their exit from this cup.
And now, the Chinese team is back!
Not only did they fight their way out of the group stage, but they also met Brazil again in the knockout round!
The team also has Golden Globe winner Chang Ming and the best center in the world today, Long Yu!
Now the Chinese national team has the strength to compete with the Brazilian team!
Things are different now!
Chapter completed!
