Chapter 333: Cooperation

[Anchor, anchor, go up and play football, why are you coming down? ]

[Instead of becoming a professional football player and becoming a famous person, why not just stay in the stands and become a small anchor? 】

[Xiao Jiang, you only scored 2 goals, can you fill up the other team's goal? ]

[Anchor, can you explain what you mean by cooperation? Your teammates applaud you to attack? ]

【The host is speaking! 】

"no……"

As soon as the camera was turned on, tens of thousands of people rushed into Jiang Yuan's live broadcast room. The fans who were originally on CCTV5 and CCTV16 now all crowded into Jiang Yuan's live broadcast room.

Now the fans in the live broadcast room have only one question in their minds.

Jiang Yuan, where is the cooperation you mentioned?
Cough!

Jiang Yuan coughed twice, pointed the camera at the two players on the court, and forced an explanation: "No, actually, um... it's like this, I did play very seriously, and you saw that I was passing the ball to Brother Lei."

"Then why didn't I score a goal when I cooperated with my teammates..."

“No, it’s about scoring goals.”

Jiang Yuan analyzed the situation to the fans in the live broadcast room: "When it comes to scoring goals, luck plays a big part. I just had bad luck when I was cooperating with my teammates, so I didn't score a goal. Then when I was dribbling the ball, my luck happened to be pretty good, so I scored two goals. You may think I'm very good at playing alone, but in fact I'm just lucky. We are a team, and if we want to win more games, we still have to rely on cooperation."

[I understand, it turns out this is luck]

[You cooperated well, please don’t fight next time]

[I have watched football for 20 years. To be honest, instead of playing with others, it is better to play with one side and let Xiao Jiang dribble the ball in front alone, just like Messi]

[Haha, Xiao Jiang really wants to cooperate with his teammates, but I don’t think it’s necessary. If you really want to win, you should just play by yourself. Wu Lei and Jiang Zhipeng obviously can’t keep up with the pace.]

[Being criticized, Wu Lei is okay, but Jiang Zhipeng is a bit stupid]

[Jiang Yuan's move is a careful interpretation of team football]

Jiang Yuan gave a heartfelt explanation, but the fans didn't accept it. Jiang Yuan had no choice but to change the subject.

"Ok, let's watch the game. Brother Lei, Brother Lei is dribbling the ball in front, let's go to the bottom line"

"Pass the ball to the wing, pass the ball to the wing! Damn, Brother Lei is going straight to the middle"

"Do you want to shoot directly? Shoot, um, Brother Lei passes the ball to the right"

"Hiss, I felt like Brother Lei could have just shot at the door, why didn't he?"

Jiang Yuan held his cell phone in one hand and grabbed his hair with the other, feeling sorry for the Chinese team's failed attack.

From what he said, the fans probably understood why the team couldn't cooperate.

Jiang Yuan and the other 10 players in the national team have completely different ideas. Jiang Yuan wants to pass the ball, Wu Lei wants to run. When it is Jiang Yuan's turn to run, Wu Lei passes the ball to him. How can this cooperation be possible?
In the previous U23 match, this problem of the Chinese team did not show up because the opponent’s defense was poor.

But now it’s different. When he switched to the national first team, the opponent’s defense is more dense and the degree of marking is higher. This means that Jiang Yuan sometimes has to pass the ball to his teammates, otherwise he is likely to lose the ball facing the pressure of several players.

The last two Asian qualifiers have made the Chinese players and coaching staff aware of a problem, and the Chinese team's die-hard fans have also become aware of this problem.

That means Jiang Yuan has to find a way to get in sync with his teammates, otherwise the Chinese team will definitely suffer a loss when facing strong teams like Iran and South Korea.

“Beep, beep, beep—!!!”

Referee Pereira blew the whistle to end the game. The Chinese team successfully kept the score at 2:1 until the end and won a hard-earned second consecutive victory.

“China, awesome!”

"WOW! Awesome!"

"World Cup, go for it!!!"

There are only 3000 Chinese fans in the stadium, but because the home team fans were silent after the loss, the Millily Stadion is now filled with Chinese language and has been completely occupied by Chinese fans.

clap clap clap!
The Chinese players on the bench stood up and applauded the players who were walking back. Jiang Yuan took the initiative to hug Hao Junmin and Wu Lei: "Brother Lei, Brother Hao, thank you for your hard work!"

"Ha ha!"

Wu Lei responded to Jiang Yuan's words with a hug. Although his personal performance was not outstanding, the team won in the end. This is the result.

In competitive sports, for the team, and especially for the players themselves, the result is definitely more important than the process.

So no matter what, the Chinese team delivered a perfect answer today.

"We can see that the Chinese fans at the scene are very excited because the Chinese team, as the fourth place in Group A, successfully defeated Uzbekistan, which is the third place in Group A. This is an undoubted victory."

"CCTV, dear audience friends, after this game, the Asian qualifiers in October will also come to an end. Currently, the Chinese men's football team ranks third in Group A with 10 wins, 2 draw and a total of 1 points. Ahead of them are Iran with 7 points and South Korea with 10 points."

"According to the promotion rules of this Asian qualifier, the third place in both Groups A and B will have the opportunity to get a ticket to the World Cup in Russia."

"One month later, the Chinese men's football team will face the Qatari men's football team in Kunming, Yunnan..."

The scene jumped, and the voices of Zhan Jun and Huang Jianxiang became softer and softer. The game was over, but the Chinese fans who witnessed the whole process still looked unsatisfied.

4:0 Syria, 2:1 Uzbekistan, no matter what, the Chinese men's football team achieved results that satisfied the fans in October.

4 points in 7 rounds, third in the group, this is the closest the Chinese men's football team has been to the World Cup in the past decade!

The game had just ended, and Xinhua News Agency reporter Liu Wenwen came to the outside of the stadium with his filming team: "Now I am waiting for the national football team to come out, and there are so many fans behind me, everyone is waiting for the national football team to come out."

The cameraman's camera moved along with Liu Wenwen's gestures. Even though it was an away game, and in the Middle East, there were quite a few people who came to watch and support the Chinese men's football team.

"Then the Chinese national football team's game is over. Fortunately, thanks to Jiang Yuan's two goals, the Chinese men's football team achieved a result that satisfied everyone. Our Chinese Expeditionary Force fans, the 2 fans outside the Uzbekistan Stadium, they stayed with the national football team until the last second of victory."

In the picture, Liu Wenwen heard the noise, so he quickly handed the microphone to a middle-aged man wearing glasses in front of him.

"Valuable! Valuable!"

The middle-aged uncle spoke very loudly. Liu Wenwen frowned and listened to the uncle slowly speaking with the surrounding fans: "Awesome! RNM, damn, this money is really worth it!"

The uncle was very excited, and his excellent professionalism told Liu Wenwen that he had to take the microphone back, otherwise things would become increasingly difficult to handle: "The fans at the scene are very excited, and right now, at this moment, each of us feels very happy, and... it's actually hard to express in words, because we didn't expect to score against a team like Uzbekistan at the beginning. Now, I want to ask you a few questions"

Liu Wenwen turned left and said, "I want to ask the fans here, do you feel very excited about today's result?"

"No tactics at all!" a man behind shouted. Liu Wenwen's heart tightened, and then the man's words made all the Chinese fans at the scene laugh.

"You know, I spent 6000 RMB to come to Uzbekistan to watch the game, including round-trip airfare and game tickets. 6000 RMB is really worth it to watch a wonderful Chinese men's football game abroad!"

“RNM, it’s worth money!”

"valuable!"

The man was extremely excited. Just as he said, Jiang Yuan's two goals alone made the 6000 RMB worthwhile.

Liu Wenwen moved the microphone to her mouth again: "I know everyone may be happy or even excited now, but our national football team has just played 4 games, and next we have to face Iran..."

"It's over!"

A man with red paint all over his face suddenly jumped out from the crowd: "It's over! It's over! It's over!"

“I was so excited that I jumped.”

The fans at the scene were already overwhelmed by the victory. Liu Wenwen hurriedly said: "There are still 6 games left. The opponents behind even include South Korea, Iran and other strong teams... I don't know if you will choose to continue to support"

"Can you lose 6 games?"

In front of Liu Wenwen, a bespectacled scholar made the number six with his hands: "Can we lose six games? Will we lose all the remaining six games?"

"You can't lose, right?"

The scholar smiled.

“It’s very blue!”

"They didn't lose the game they were most likely to lose, so how could they lose in the future? The Chinese men's football team has already secured a place in the World Cup on loan, so do we need to wait and see what happens next? No!"

The scholar's speech was so outrageous that it almost confused Liu Wenwen.

However, for a professional journalist like Liu Wenwen, responding on the spot has become an instinct. She turned her body 180 degrees and successfully avoided the attack of the "Deadly Scholar": "I want to ask the young people present, maybe you have never experienced such a prosperous era of Chinese football before..."

"I'm so fucking excited!"

Unexpectedly, when Liu Wenwen had just said half of her words, a man rushed over and shouted directly into Liu Wenwen's microphone.

"Well... maybe you haven't seen the Chinese men's football team so strong. As the performance gets better and better, will you continue to accompany the Chinese men's football team?"

"what……"

The young boy was silent for a while: "I think... I think so. It doesn't matter how strong Iran and South Korea are, we have power players anyway."

Then the boy wrapped his hands around the microphone and shouted loudly.

"Jiang Yuan! Awesome!"

CCTV1：北京时间10月11日下午9点，亚预赛12强A组第四轮，乌兹比克斯坦男足对阵中国男足的比赛在塔什干当地体育场打响，最终中国男足在客场以2：1的比分战胜乌兹别克斯坦男足。

CCTV reporters reported that Chinese fans generally believed that this was the closest the Chinese men's football team has been to the World Cup since the 02 World Cup in Japan and South Korea.

The second headline on the front page of "Korea" - West Eight! Chinese fans are extremely arrogant, 4 points in 7 games are already unbeatable?
People's Daily commented: The revolution has not yet succeeded, so we must not be blindly careless.

Uzbekistan coach was interviewed by a reporter from Middle East Sports: Coach Babayan said that if they (Chinese men's football team) were united, we would still have a chance, but they were not united, so we had no chance. But to be honest, with Jiang playing, I am very satisfied that the players were able to score 1:2... The next game? It depends on the situation. If Jiang plays in the next game, I hope he can cooperate with his teammates more, after all, football is a game for 11 people.

The front page headline of The Times-Asian qualifiers in October are over, Chelsea's super striker is about to return to the team!

Premier League Table:

1. Hot Spur – 19 points

2. Man City – 18 points

3. Liverpool – 17 points

4. Chelsea – 17 points

5. Arsenal – 14 points

6. Man United – 13 points

After the game, the Chinese men's football players had a dinner at a local specialty restaurant in Uzbekistan. Jiang Yuan then rushed to Tashkent Airport overnight, with his destination being London, England.

At 15 pm Beijing time on the 7th, Chelsea will play their 8th round game at home, which means that as long as Jiang Yuan returns to London as soon as possible after the game, he will not miss any club games.

I played for the national team and also played for the club. It was so cool!
However, it is true that considering Jiang Yuan's physical recovery, Mourinho probably will not let him start in the game against Leicester City.

On the London Airways plane, Jiang Yuan was eating fruit with a smile on his face. It had been less than two weeks since he left London, and he was already looking forward to meeting his club teammates again.

Hazard's burger, Kante's gap between his teeth, Zouma's big butt, and Pogba's little JJ...

National team competitions are about honor, but the real high-level competition still depends on the clubs!

……

The day after the match, the terms related to China and Uzbekistan topped the Baidu and Weibo search lists, which was truly a hit. Of course, the arrogant Chinese fans also went viral.

On the night of the victory, disturbing news broke out in all major first- and second-tier cities in China. Chinese fans were indeed a little too excited that day. Several tough guys who had set flags before the game were even arrested by local police for streaking.

If you think about it carefully, there is a reason for it. Chinese men's football fans have not experienced this kind of winning streak for a long time. The previous championships and bronze medals were won in U23 competitions, but these two games in October were real World Cup qualifiers and real national first-team competitions.

If the U23 Asian Cup and the Olympics witnessed the rise of Chinese youth football, then the consecutive victories over Syria and Uzbekistan witnessed the sudden rise of Chinese professional football.

Of course, after coming back from their excitement, Chinese fans need to face a very cruel reality.

Can the Chinese team really break out of the encirclement of Iran and South Korea, two powerful Asian teams, relying only on Jiang Yuan?
Let’s not worry about that for now. Recently, a picture on Dongqiudi and Tieba has been widely circulated among netizens, and it has finally become an emoticon package for QQ and WeChat.

In the picture, Jiang Yuan swung out his right leg and the ball formed an arc and went straight to the goal. On the left and right were Jiang Zhipeng and Wu Lei who were standing there in a daze admiring the ball. Behind him was Cai Hui with her mouth wide open. All three of them were watching Jiang Yuan's shot.
