Chapter 283 The Chinese on the World Cup Stage (National Football Team Story, Daily Transition)
De Gea squatted on the grass, his face flushed with anger, and pounded the ground.

Pique and Ramos looked at each other in silence, and the two unconsciously tugged at their pants.

Busquets looked stunned, as if a crack had appeared in his heart.

where am I?
what am i doing?
This is insane! How could they even tie this?
They were clearly going to win!

The fans of the Spanish national team could not accept the reality before them, their gasps filled with despair.

Some people were even just thinking about how to celebrate Spain's first victory in the group stage of this World Cup.

How did Gao Qi, trapped in a weak and desperate situation, manage to turn the tide of the battle at the last moment?

In their eyes, the Chinese superstar is like a bull riddled with daggers, bursting through the red cloth and overturning the matador before the final whistle.

Spain's substitutes' bench.

Morata's mouth dropped open, his expression complex. If he weren't constrained by his team's position, he would have rushed out at this moment to join Gao Qi in the celebration.
Crash.

Fisht Stadium, as seen through the lens, looks as if it has just experienced an earthquake.

A deafening roar of cheers poured down from the stands.

Absolutely flat.

A goal scored in the final moments.

The first goal scored by China in World Cup history.

After being dominated for ninety minutes, just when Chinese fans were in despair, someone stepped up and turned the tide.

Gao Qi jogged up, jumped onto the billboard, and opened his arms wide.

Golden confetti drifted down.

The lights shimmered in the night fog on the shores of the Black Sea.

The fans below had tears in their eyes, and they all looked up, excitedly stretching out their arms, as if they were looking up at a god.

"Gao Qi!"

"Gao Qi!"

"Gao Qi!!!"

The surging red tide was filled with passion.

Click.

The spotlight flashed.

Journalists from all over the world wrote furiously, and many of them came up with the same title: "Chinese People on the World Cup Stage".

Studio.

The big screen replayed Gao Qi's attack.

He charged into the enemy lines alone.

One man fights against an invincible fleet.

The Chinese fans who witnessed the miracle gradually recovered from their shock and were so excited they couldn't stop.

Despair was shattered.

All negative emotions vanished.

Instead, there was an indescribable joy and emotion.

The barrage of comments flew by.
-
[Starlight suddenly splits, clouds surge, a dragon's roar shatters the long night!]
-
I'm not dreaming! I'm about to cry!
-
【Awesome! 】
-
[A draw!]
-
[Football King Gao Qi! So handsome!]
-
[History made! The golf king scored China's first-ever World Cup goal in the most explosive way!]
-
[Holy crap, we managed a last-minute draw against Spain?! €3 million to a €9.8 million game! What were the odds for a draw?]
-
[This is absolutely amazing! Holy crap!]
-
A hero of Chinese football!
-
[The over 1.5 bet has been caught! The Chinese national football team has won again! Thanks to Gao Qi, and thanks to the God of Wealth!]

Courtside.

Lippi was speechless.

Translator Zhao excitedly grabbed a handful of Assistant Li's bangs.

"is this real?"

"We've tied it?"

"We've tied it!"

The Italian teaching assistants and Chinese staff were trembling with excitement.

The other side.

Yero was stunned.

His eyes were glazed over, completely unable to believe what he was seeing.

They dominated the entire match, had a huge advantage, but were ultimately tied by Gao Qi in the final moments?

With such a star-studded lineup, Spain couldn't even beat the Chinese team?
I have become a sinner!
The jubilation at Fisht Stadium briefly subsided.

The game was moved back to the center circle.

Snapped.

The instant the football was kicked.

The referee blew the final whistle.

Beep! Beep beep~
The whistle sounded like bad news to Spanish fans.

The whistle sounded like heavenly music to the ears of Chinese fans.

A deafening roar of cheers erupted once again from all four stands.

The commentator, struggling to contain his emotions, choked up as he spoke:

"The match is over."

"The Chinese team drew with Spain."

"Chinese football has made history, and Gao Qi has made history."

"Faced with a world-class team that is far stronger than us, he did not give up in the face of adversity."

"It's not because of hope that we persevere, but because only by persevering can we see hope."

"The shores of the Black Sea bear witness"

"."

Coach Zhang, sitting to the side, was too excited to speak.

I have no interest in analyzing any data.

The Chinese team has forced the Invincible Fleet to a draw!
This result was beyond expectations!

This is such a fucking surprise!

Could Gao Qi have a chance to make history? Lead the Chinese national team to advance from the group stage of the World Cup?

Red flags flutter in the wind.

a bit tired.

Gao Qi lay helplessly on the grass, and these words involuntarily came to mind.

Cheers and applause blew in on the night breeze.

Physical fatigue, enhanced by various modules, can quickly fade away after the competition.

What about mental fatigue?

But when he saw the stars and the moon in the sky, he suddenly felt that the world had become quiet.

The red tide surged continuously from all four sides of the stands.

Fans are still reminiscing about the Chinese hero's last-minute goal.

Many people still had flushed faces, rapid breathing, and were unable to calm down for a long time.

Spain's overall strength is so much greater than that of the Chinese national team.

Dominate the entire game.

The Chinese hero scored the equalizer at the last moment!
I can't even imagine how high Gao Qi's status will reach!
This goal will become a classic in the hearts of countless people!
The Chinese team doctors were extremely cautious.

The intensity of this match was too great.

The Chinese star players sprinted all over the field, sparing no effort to fill gaps, cover weaknesses, and fight for possession.
He was wiping his butt while cooking.

Even several cows couldn't withstand working like that!
Lippi stopped the coaching staff members from giving Gao Qi a wild hug.

Even though Gao Qi has an incredible injury recovery rate like Messi and Hazard, the World Cup schedule is tight, and he must not be bumped or strangled, which could indirectly lead to injury.

"You bastards, watch out!"

"Stop touching and groping!"

After a long time.

Fisht Stadium gradually returned to calm.

Gao Qi and Morata exchanged jerseys.

The latter wasted several opportunities in this match.

"Oh no, if Spain doesn't make it out of the group stage, I'll be in trouble with Spanish fans."

"It's okay, all participating players may have this experience."

"."

The former twin stars smiled at each other and gently embraced.

The spotlight flashed.

After this match, Chinese fans like Morata even more!
At the Chinese national team's victory celebration banquet, no one dared to touch their chopsticks without Morata's presence!

There was no victory celebration banquet.

There was no dinner. After thanking the fans, the entire Chinese team prepared to return to their hotel to rest.

Post-match press conference.

Lippi's expression was subtle.

Even after weathering countless storms, his tone at this moment couldn't hide his surprise:

"The competition was tough, incredibly tough."

"For most of the 90 minutes, we were completely overwhelmed by our opponents and found it difficult to fight back."

"The overall gap in strength is significant."

"Spain perfectly embodies the concept of possession-based football."

"But Gao Qi changed the outcome for the Chinese team; it's unbelievable."

"Our next opponent is Portugal, and we will go back and prepare well."

There was thunderous applause.

Many people believe that if Lippi experiences a massacre at this World Cup, his reputation may be ruined in his later years.

However, for the time being, the historical status of Italian coaches is still rising.

A few minutes later.

Spain's interim head coach, Hierro, walked heavily into the auditorium.

His smile was bitter.

In the World Cup group stage, how could the Spanish team, with such a star-studded lineup, fail to defeat the Chinese team?

What else can I say to the media?
Everything you say is wrong.

He's risking ruining his reputation in his later years; the fame he earned as a player may continue to decline with this World Cup.

The first round of group stage matches in the World Cup has concluded.

The news reports shocked the world.

Defending champions Germany lose.

Iceland holds Argentina to a draw, Viking war cries echo across the northern lands.

Shocking upset! Japan defeats ten-man Colombia!

Cristiano Ronaldo scores a hat-trick, becoming the oldest player to score a hat-trick in a World Cup at 33 years and 130 days old.

China 1-1 Spain: Gao Qi scores a last-minute equalizer.

China's first goal in World Cup history.

A lengthy analysis of the rivalry between Lippi and Hierro: What kind of rivalry is this? Gao Qi is awesome.

"Gao Qi's relentless effort and total running distance broke the World Cup record."

La Masia's power forward vs. center: Busquets and Gao Qi's ultimate showdown comes to an end.

How should we evaluate Gao Qi's historical status compared to the single-match statistics of key team leaders in previous World Cups?

The number of comments, likes, and shares skyrocketed.
-
I will never criticize the King of Golf.
-
[Damn, that was so cool! This scene is an eternal classic in Chinese football; I could watch it a hundred times and never get tired of it.]
-
[Gao Qi is now a hero of Chinese football, but if they lose the next game, he'll be criticized as a sinner. Sigh, I've seen similar things countless times.]
-
[Impossible! Anyone who watched this match would know the overall gap between the Chinese national team and top European teams. Gao Qi single-handedly turned the tide!]
-
Look at how Germany, Argentina, and Colombia were upset; weren't Neuer, Messi, and James Rodriguez getting slammed by their own country's fans?
-
Many people don't watch football.
-
Morata also played a significant role in this match.
-
[The next opponent is Portugal, and Ronaldo won't falter.]
-
【Siu~siusiusiu~】
-
[Historical standing? How far do you think Pelé, Maradona, and Beckenbauer could lead this national team in the World Cup? Gao Qi is pretty amazing.]

The mixed interview area leading to the underground parking lot.

Assistant Professor Li was stopped by reporters with enthusiastic expressions, who kept pressing him with questions.

puff.

He blew on his bangs, his expression serious:

"What collective achievement? It was Gao Qi's achievement."

"There is a significant gap in overall strength between us and our opponents."

"I couldn't even touch the ball."

"If Hierro had not inherited Bosque's philosophy of narrow victories, and if Morata had not faltered, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

"Football is a sport that requires respecting objective reality, not just shouting slogans."

"Gao Qi is a true hero, and no one can diminish his contributions to Chinese football."

"He scored the first goal in the history of Chinese football in the World Cup!"

The reporters looked at each other.

Has Assistant Professor Li lost his mind? After saying such things, does he still want a promotion and a fortune?
But nobody cared.

The comments were immediately overwhelmed by news praising Gao Qi.

Sochi's nights belong to wine, song, and dance.

Under the dim yellow lights, the buildings were surrounded by music and cheers.

The red bus drove slowly.

Fans on both sides chanted slogans.

Gao Qi did not engage in the usual post-match analysis with the coaching staff and teammates.

There doesn't seem to be any post-mortem analysis.

Everyone worked very hard, but the difference in ability was too great.

A familiar electronic synthesized voice echoed in my mind.

[Mission Complete: Defend Dignity.]

[Mission Response: Are you kidding me? You actually led the Chinese national team to a draw against Spain? And without resorting to dirty tricks like the South Korean team did in 2002! You are the savior of Chinese football!]

[Quest Reward: Eternal Legend Treasure Chest]

[Treasure Chest Opening in Progress]

[Congratulations on obtaining the Pain Perception Modulation Module.]

On the football field, it can leave all the football butchers who try to maliciously foul you speechless and questioning their existence.

Catalan TV.

Special guest commentator Enrique, with a serious expression, muttered to himself:
"I knew it!"

"I said this before the game!"

"See? I was right!"

"Don't doubt my tactical insight and analytical abilities."

"Hero wouldn't listen to me. They called Spain 'Pah, pah, pah,' but our Spain paid a heavy price for it. They could have easily won the game, but I still think Spain has a better chance of advancing."

"As for Gao, the challenges he faces next remain severe."

European media outlets have a different reporting approach.

A portion of the text praises Gao Qi's heroic epic.

Part of the article also explores questions such as: "Tutto and Possession is not dead," "Tutto and Possession is dead," "Tutto and Possession died long ago in the 2013 Confederations Cup," and "Is Tutto and Possession really dead?"

Cruyff: I'm not fucking dead yet.

In recent years, whenever Spain loses a game or is surprisingly held to a draw by a weaker team, the term "passing and possession" is brought up and criticized.

Kratovo, Portugal's training base.

Pepe, the "infamous" monk, has unveiled his next matchup and is eager to try his luck.

His fist clenched and unclenched at times.

A look of anticipation.

During this historical period, many fans were misled by media marketing, believing that Pepe had "reformed" and become a saint, and that his dirty play at Real Madrid was at Mourinho's behest.

In reality, this guy didn't restrain himself at all.

After joining a strong Turkish Super League team, his "misdeeds" did not decrease; his number of fouls this season increased by 18 percent compared to previous seasons.

"The next opponent is the Chinese team."

"Hahahahaha!"

"Poor Gao!"

At the club level, they can't beat Gao Qi.

At the national team level, wouldn't they crush him on the ground?
This is the confidence of the European Championship winning team.

Peipei was overwhelmed with emotions and wanted to say something that conveyed a sense of fatalism and compassion. Unfortunately, lacking cultural knowledge, she couldn't utter a word for a long time.

Bah!
Bah!
Bah!
The sound of the ball being struck startled the larks on the branches.

The green field not far away.

Cristiano Ronaldo and the goalkeeper are practicing shooting one-on-one.

His eyes revealed a resolute determination.

He wants to lead Portugal further in this World Cup.

No matter who the opponent is, the Portuguese superstar will give it his all.

【Siu~】

【siusiusiusiusiu~】

Gao Qi sat on the sofa in his hotel room, listening to the sound from the television: "As Ronaldo scores, thousands chant 'Siu!'"
He and several teammates watched the video of Portugal's match carefully.

"Xiao Gao, do you think I can stop Ronaldo?"
