Chapter 280 Comrade Aihua?

Chapter 280 Comrade Aihua? (National Football Team Story, Daily Transition)
"I'm not born strong, I'm just born to be strong"

On the flat screen, a milk commercial shot by a Chinese football star was playing.

Gao Qi was stunned.

Why is the picture different from what I imagined when shooting?
For some reason I have a bad feeling that this clip might be made into an emoticon package by netizens.

After the Chinese national football team qualified, major brands competed frantically for secondary advertising spots at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

Advertising featuring soccer stars is endless.

Brands are not fools. The return rate of World Cup advertising sponsorship is very high, and the data is very obvious, especially the sales of fast-moving consumer goods can increase dramatically in a short period of time.

Last year, FIFA increased the number of first-tier advertisers from 8 to 11, hoping that Chinese brands would join.

The breeze gently blew the corner flag on the training ground.

Gao Qi put down the tablet, gently picked up the match ball of this World Cup, "Telestar 18", and returned to the training ground.

Getting familiar with the match ball is a critical step in preparation.

For example, the "Celebration" match ball used in the South Africa World Cup is a goalkeeper's nightmare.

Bah!
The football flies toward the goal.

Gao Qi looked up and observed the track passing through the sky.

Time seemed to have been slowed down countless times.

Courtside.

Translator Zhao sighed, "If Xiao Gao... Pah! If Brother Qi's defense is as strong as his shooting, will our chances of qualifying for the group stage be greater?"

Assistant Instructor Li blew his bangs and his eyes wandered.

His mind was still immersed in the incident that "the leader couldn't come".

I have been tossing and turning these nights.

As the group stage approached, the Chinese coaching staff did not arrange any high-intensity training content.

Lippi's approach is consistent with that of the 2006 World Cup: encouraging players to relax by playing video games, call their families, and avoid an overly tense atmosphere in preparation for the game.

"Relax!"

"Totti played PlayStation, watched movies and won the World Cup!"

“Tactics and systems are constantly changing, but the competitive mentality is becoming more unified through the test of history.”

The famous Italian coach has become a little more amiable recently.

He no longer made outspoken criticisms, nor did he arrange devilish training that was too much for the national football players.

This training base was established ninety years ago. The remaining sculptures and paintings of Lenin make everyone feel that Lippi has become more kind.

"How about high?"

"Brother Qi went to participate in the representative activities of the World Cup Organizing Committee."

"Yes, yes, he told me that my memory is so poor."

Luzhniki Stadium, Moscow.

Gao Qi took group photos and promotional photos with representatives from various countries.

Neymar carefully observed his walking posture and laughed: "I really envy Gao's speed of recovery from injury"

The samba dancer now looks a lot fatter, and his chin has changed from pointed to round.

A few months ago, he suffered a serious ankle injury, a very serious injury, and the whole world believed that he would miss this World Cup.

Fortunately, the Brazilian team doctor has a tradition of inheritance. The team doctor who performed ligament surgery on Zico in 1986, his son successfully healed Neymar's ankle in 2018.

The recovery speed is nothing short of miraculous.

"Your recovery speed is pretty good this time. Take good care of yourself and don't let your old injuries relapse."

Messi's tone contained concern and his face was hesitant.

I really want to express my feelings about Neymar leaving Barcelona, but my personality and timing are the issues.

I don’t know if I will have the chance to fight side by side with my Samba friends in the future.

The 19-year-old Mbappe stood between Gao Qi and Ronaldo with a smile on his face.

Although he didn't make an exaggerated expression of surprise.

But I felt a surge of excitement inside.

A few years ago, when this little French black kid was 13 or 14 years old, he liked to put posters of Gao Qi and Cristiano Ronaldo in his bedroom.

"Gao, can you sign an autograph for me?"

"Keep your voice down. Your management team won't allow you to make inferior gestures to other stars."

"It doesn't matter. No one will know."

Gao Qi didn't expect that his teenage fans have grown up so much.

19 years old?
When I got close to her, I couldn't help but sigh: She's developed so well.

Aren’t they about the same age as the young players from Syria?

He is a little fan I gained during the European competition during my time in Rome.

Ronaldo looked grim and said quietly: "Why don't you ask me for my autograph?"

Mbappe was stunned: "You have a stern face, I am afraid of being rejected."

"."

Singapore’s latest public welfare film on quitting gambling has been dug up by netizens.

It was the 2014 World Cup. The little boy in the Singapore commercial who cried and said, "My father used all our family savings to buy Germany to win" has now grown into a big boy.

Exactly the same scene.

Exactly the same script.

At last.

The older boy looked sad: "My wealthy life will soon disappear because my father spent all the family savings on betting that the Chinese national team will advance to the World Cup knockout stage."

The friends all lowered their heads in sympathy.

Accompanied by sad music, the picture slowly fades into darkness.

The Singapore crew is very confident this year: this anti-gambling promotional video will definitely have educational significance and will not become a beacon like it did four years ago.

Two days later.

Opening ceremony of the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

Luzhniki Stadium, Moscow.

There were huge crowds of people and every seat was packed.

Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 started playing.

The camera suddenly cuts from the stadium to outer space.

The black and white "TV Star 18" floated out from the space station and flew straight to the beautiful blue planet.

"The trajectory of the football leads us to witness the iconic architecture of Russia."

"On the coast."

"A performer in formal attire."

"Fighter planes flying over Moscow."

"Mother Soviet Union wielding the sword of victory!"

"Robileva!"

"The Russian supermodel appeared on the field holding the game ball."

"Graceful figure, curvy body, attractive walking posture"

The 35-year-old Robileva is like a ripe purple grape, exuding mature charm.

She once appeared on the cover of Playboy and was called: the wildest woman.

In addition, this guy is a top student.

The rectangular wooden box was opened.

The World Cup was once again presented to the world.

In the stands.

Russia's top leader, Vladimir Putin, has a calm expression.

FIFA head Infantino is in high spirits.

On the pitch, 500 dancers, gymnasts and trampolinists took to the stage to present a dynamic performance that combined sports and art. Russian soprano Aida Garifullina made a dazzling appearance riding on a giant model of the Firebird.

Ronaldinho plays the drums.

Daluo dances.

Two Brazilian legends took part in the performance to spread the spirit of football.

“Putin’s speech.”

"Infantino used Russian, Arabic and Chinese to announce the official opening of the 2018 World Cup!"

“Flags of 32 countries paraded into the stadium”

The Chinese team watched the opening ceremony at the training base.

Assistant Professor Li could not hide his excitement: "We are participating in history."

"Pack up and leave for Sochi!"

The Chinese national football team's first match in the World Cup group stage will be held in Sochi, against Spain.

Gao Qi was holding a book on "Geography of Russia" and reading it with great interest.

Translator Zhao, who was carrying a lot of bags, did not forget to boost morale:

“Ostrovsky completed How the Steel Was Tempered in Sochi!”

"We will show Spain how steel is tempered!"

The older generation in China has a special feeling for the book How the Steel Was Tempered.

The guestbook at Ostrovsky's former residence is filled with Chinese words.

6 month 16 day.

The glittering Fisht Olympic Stadium looks like a jewel-studded eggshell in the night.

Fireworks rise into the sky, creating a beautiful picture.

The CTV5 crew interviewed the excited Chinese fans.

"We have a chance!"

"Spain changed its coach at the last minute. Wasn't that Loji sacked three days ago? The head coach was replaced by Hierro!"

"Well, even though we have changed coaches, the overall strength of the opponent's lineup is much stronger than ours."

"Come on, Chinese team!"

"We finally made it to Russia, let's play with energy and spirit!"

The five-star red flag flutters in the wind, overlooking the Caucasus Mountains to the north and the Black Sea coast to the south.

Countless red hearts beat as the Chinese national football team bus slowly approached.

Pre-match press conference.

The 70-year-old Lippi shook hands with the 50-year-old Hierro.

The latter felt the touch of his fingertips and felt inexplicably nervous.

Hierro had a brilliant playing career and could be called a legendary star, but he lacked coaching experience and served as the head coach of a Spanish Second Division club for one year.

At this moment, we are facing the famous Apennine coach, the only one in football history who has won the Champions League, the Asian Champions League and the World Cup - "Silver Fox" Lippi.

Suddenly I felt a strong sense of oppression.

"I'm not nervous at all. Even without the head coach, Spain can easily defeat the Chinese team!"

'You need to have the courage of Enrique.'

The press conference was short.

Wearing a dark suit with the five-star red flag embroidered on his chest, Lippi exudes the aura of a true famous coach.

"Football is war in peacetime."

“We are not here to travel to Russia.”

"The sharpest sword in the East will make all opponents tremble."

Fisht Olympic Stadium.

The crowd was full of people.

A sea of red.

"Zhuangdianertai! Zhuangdianertai! Good evening, audience friends!"

"Now live for you is the first round of Group B of the 2018 Russia World Cup."

"China versus Spain."

"The clash between the Dragons and the Matadors."

"After 16 years, we are back on the World Cup stage."

"The Fisht Olympic Stadium is lit up in Chinese red. The stands that can accommodate 40,000 spectators have 30,000 Chinese fans sitting there tonight!"

"China team, come on!"

The commentator's tone was emotional and he didn't have to remain neutral like he did when commentating on club matches.

He is Chinese and all his remarks will be on the side of the Chinese team.

Player tunnel.

After Gao Qi and Morata hugged each other excitedly, they no longer paid attention to other Spanish stars.

He walked to the front of the Chinese queue, looking firmly in the direction of the exit.

Isco, who was neglected, was not disappointed.

"Gao didn't ignore me."

"I understand him. He is carrying the cross of fate alone."

"Hey, hey, hey, what the hell are you talking about? Don't think about those messed up things, cheer up!"

Pique disagrees.

He will definitely not be distracted during this game.

If the Chinese team scores a goal in such an important match as the World Cup, the Spanish defense will be humiliated!
Was the goal scored by Gao Qi?
De Gea thought it was normal.
However, Spain can score more goals against the Chinese team!

Busquets looked at Gao Qi's back, felt the sound waves from the four stands sweeping into the passage, and couldn't help but feel a strong sense of fate in his heart: "In the World Cup Hall, Gao and I will face off."

"The ultimate showdown between the No. 4 and No. 9.5 at La Masia."

Ramos couldn't help but twitch his lips: Who the hell is going to compete with you in the ultimate showdown of Barcelona's heritage? What teammate are you? What teammate is Gao Qi?
The referee team led both teams out of the passage.

Fisht Stadium was suddenly boiling.

Chinese fans shouted the name of the superstar with great excitement.

"Gao Qi!!!"

The overwhelming sound flooded the green field.

"The following introduces you to the starting lineups of both sides."

"The Chinese team's formation is 4-4-2!"

"Goalkeeper: Zeng Cheng."

"Defenders: Wang Shenchao, Feng Xiaoting, Deng Hanwen, Zhang Linpeng."

"Midfielders: Wu Xi, Hao Junmin, Huang Bowen, Yu Hanchao."

"Forwards: Gao Qi, Wu Lei."

“We are witnessing history!”

"Spain's formation is 4-1-4-1!"

"Goalkeeper: David De Gea."

"Defenders: Carvajal, Pique, Ramos, Alba."

"Defensive midfielder: Busquets."

"Central midfielders: David Silva, Asensio, Isco, Iniesta."

"Forward: Morata."
