Ronaldo: "Hey, Leo, I'm at the airport, waiting for you."

Messi: "Get out. You go first."

Four hours later…

Messi: "... Luo Er, are you still at the airport?"

Ronaldo: "Yeah. I'm here, waiting for you."

Messi: "He'll be there soon."

Half an hour later...

Messi squeezed Ronaldo's hand: "Let's go home together."

The Chinese team showed up.

They defeated the current European champions and runner-up with the same score of 4:1, and it was on European soil. No team had ever done it in the World Cup before.

But having said that, except for Spain in 2008, the other European champions did not perform well in the World Cup two years later.

Not to mention, they didn’t even make it to the next World Cup. France in 2000 and Spain in 12 didn’t qualify for the group stage two years later. Croatia was defeated 3:0 and the Netherlands in 1988 didn’t win a single game in the summer of Italy.

Compared to these seniors, Portugal performed pretty well.

Europe is undoubtedly the center of today's football. The Chinese team has performed well in the two previous World Cups, but South Africa and Brazil are not in Europe. And except for Brazil in the distant 1st place, even the South American giants can't get a good deal on Europe's doorstep, let alone an Asian team.

This time, the Chinese team eliminated Portugal and entered the quarterfinals, which was enough to shock Europe.

Four years ago, the Chinese team reached the quarterfinals in Brazil, and also defeated France, one of the European powers, but that time was absolutely different from today.

Four years ago, when France was leading 2:0, the situation on the court suddenly changed. It was suddenly full of mystery, chaos, and all kinds of incredible things.

The American red whistle Geiger, the horse retreated from the enemy and got a red card, Sarnia's red dot package, Benzema first retreated with scars, and then committed suicide at the buzzer with an own goal, a magical and psychedelic 3:2 reversal. Rather than saying that the Chinese team defeated France, it is better to say that France lost to God.

But this 4:1 victory over Portugal is different.

The Chinese team defeated its opponents with upright tactics, a 100% football victory.

From a personal perspective, the Chinese team has also obviously undergone a radical change. Zhuoyang has always explained what bullying is in football. Several naturalized players are also not ordinary players. They make Zhuoyang no longer forced to become a lonely hero. Especially Maro, the media unanimously believes that he is the best right back in the top 32 so far.

Facing Portugal, which is good at passing skills and defense, the Chinese team wisely gave up possession of the ball, 35% of the game: Portugal, which should have let go with this data, did not know how to play.

To prevent counterattack and counterattack, to break toughness with toughness. In the European Championships the year before last, Portugal won the championship in seven games. Although the seven games were quite criticized, it also fully demonstrated their ability to maneuver and their tendon attributes.

The Chinese team defeated Portugal in Portugal's way. This is not a stroke of genius. Sforza, the Chinese coaching staff and the tactical intelligence department filled an entire mobile solid-state drive with information about Portugal.

Champion coach Fernando Santos was criticized by the media for being too conservative and even timid. The loser had no say. He did not defend himself, packed his bags and returned home silently with the team.

After this battle, young coach Cyriac Sforza has truly entered the ranks of famous coaches. He praises the high and disdains the low. The media praises the fourth-youngest coach in the top 32 with a salary of tens of millions.

Last year's runner-up Argentina also returned home, and the Pampas Eagles were eliminated by the host Russia.

This game at the Luzhini Stadium was almost a replica of the Chinese team and Portugal. Argentina went even further. With an overwhelming advantage of 74% and 25 shots, they were ultimately unable to defend the excellent Maozi.

Speaking with conscience, Messi tried his best and fought for his life like Ronaldo, but in the end he returned empty-handed like Ronaldo.

Maradona said: "Sampaoli is like the chess standard-bearer, always changing the lineup. Argentina just wants Messi to solve all problems. He passes the football to Pereira or Biglia and receives it. But it’s pebbles in a wheelbarrow.”

The language expression of the ball king is always very unique, as full of philosophy and clouds as ancient hieroglyphics. However, Argentina failed to play well, and Sampaoli really cannot take the blame.

Argentina has accumulated too many central attackers, Aguero, Higuain and Dybala, but none of them started this game. Sampaoli instead asked boss Mei to play in the middle.

It seems very reasonable to play Di Maria on the left. He also played as a left winger in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Football Finals where he became famous. But don't forget that Angel Di Maria always played on the right whether he was in Real Madrid, Manchester United or Paris.

The 22-year-old Christian Pavin on the right wing is even more confusing. This is the first time that the Boca winger has been selected for the national team to participate in the World Cup and the first time he has started for the national team in an official game. It is crucial. in the knockout round.

Sure enough, Pavin didn't seem to come to this game. Except for receiving 24 balls, which was the lowest among the ten starting players, there was almost no other data. Messi is not only a father and a mother on the front line, but also a nanny.

In the 40th minute, Rojo, the brave center back in the last game, "played the ball with his hands" in the penalty area. Dzyuba took a penalty kick and it was 1:0.

Two minutes later, Angel Dee received a cross-field shot from Boss Mei in the middle and hit the target, 1:1.

What the hell is the central midfielder Enzo Pereira mentioned by Maradona? The 32-year-old comes from River Plate. He spent 5 seasons with Benfica and Valencia before returning to China. He was the best player in the Portuguese Super League in the 2013-14 season. Last summer, he was given to River Plate by Valencia for free.

In the 70th minute of the second half, Pereira lost the ball in the midfield. The oldest person in Maozi, the left wing-back ‘Bacchus’ Zhirkov, counterattacked and grabbed an angled shot from the penalty area, changing the score to 2:1.

The one who saved Argentina was Aguero, who came off the bench to replace Pereira. On the first pass, the little boy Akun stepped in with an indomitable spirit and scored with a header in the penalty area. The buzzer beat the score to 2:2.

But this was of no use. After a dull and lackluster overtime, Argentina still lost to Russia, who made four of four penalties with the support of the home court, even if they urgently replaced Caballero, who was good at penalty kicks.

The hard-working boss Mei, the hard-working Ronaldo. In fact, both of them are sultry types. They don't say it with their mouths, but they are determined to win the championship in their hearts before the game. Time flies by, the little fresh meat has gone with the wind, Cristiano Ronaldo has nasolabial folds, and the crow's feet at the corners of Messi's eyes can kill mosquitoes.

Zhuo Yang, who has no lines on his face, is the winner, as is the young Neymar.

Brazil defeated Mexico 2-0 without any trouble, with Neymar passing and shooting. The Brazilian team advanced as expected, and Zhuo Yang and the Chinese team cheered because the next quarterfinals match was with them.

The revenge of four years ago must be avenged.
