The Rise of the Writers of the Republic of China

(PS: It’s very, very embarrassing. I lost my mind in the last chapter. The score between the Chinese team and the German team should be 2 to 2, otherwise the Chinese team would be eliminated directly after losing two games. Sweat!)

The game is still going on, with the last two games happening simultaneously.

On the other side of the main stadium, the British team also suffered the same treatment as the Chinese team, and was left temperless by the German referee's black whistle. But the German team was still beaten by the British team. Just like the Chinese team before, the German team relied on a black whistle to barely draw.

Before World War II, German football was very bad. It was defeated 9-0 by the British team, but it did finish third in the World Cup two years ago (1934).

Well, that World Cup was bullshit. The defending champion Uruguay did not participate due to anger, and due to the feud between the FA and FIFA, all Commonwealth teams were absent. And there is no group stage, just knockout rounds to decide the winner. As a result, the host Italian team won the championship, Czechoslovakia won the runner-up, and the German team unexpectedly won the third place all the way to SSR.

During the previous group match between China and Germany, Hitler specifically instructed the referee team not to talk too badly about the Chinese team, but to give Mr. Zhou some face no matter what. As a result, the German team relied on a black whistle for a small foul to hold on to a 2-2 draw with the Chinese team, and almost had a counterattack in the end.

The current situation is that the British team gets 4 points for 2 wins, the German team gets 3 points for 1 win, 1 draw, the Chinese team gets 1 point for 1 draw and 1 loss, and the Danish team gets 0 points for losing all 2 games.

Germany will definitely not be able to beat the UK, even by blowing a black whistle, so as long as the Chinese team defeats Denmark, they can compete with the German team on goal difference.

Therefore, the German referees were very anxious. They could not let the Chinese team score too many goals and could only blow the whistle desperately to take care of Denmark.

With 5 minutes left before the end of the first half, a Danish player passed a long ball to the front half and landed directly on the head of Alan Tam's father, Tan Jiangbai. Tan Jiangbai jumped up to head the ball, but the Danish player pulled his clothes off and the ball was immediately snatched away by another Danish player.

Since the Chinese team used a desperate offensive formation, the defense seemed extremely empty. After the Danish team bypassed Shanghai player Li Ning by passing the ball, the rest was a one-on-one situation.

"Bang!"

Goalkeeper Bao Jiaping saved the ball in a thrilling manner, but another Danish forward shot into the net, making the score 3-1.

The first half is over.

Defender Li Ning asked worriedly: "Do we need to strengthen our defense?"

Li Huitang shook his head and said: "Compared with European and American players, our biggest shortcoming is that we cannot keep up with our physical strength. The second half will definitely be more difficult. Let's see, there are still 5 forwards, one less midfielder and one more defender. The Danish players Their footwork is very rough. We don’t compete with them in the midfield. We just need to hold on and not concede the ball. When the backcourt and midfielder get the ball, they pass the ball long to reduce the entanglement in the midfield and seize every opportunity to score goals!"

"Okay, we will definitely hold on in the backcourt!" Li Ning gritted his teeth.

The skills of the Chinese players are not even worse than those of the British team. When playing against the British team, they can guarantee that they will not lose 100% in the first half. However, due to the weaker physical fitness of Asians and the poorer long-term nutritional intake of Chinese players, they suffered from severe physical exhaustion in the second half.

It was like this when playing against the British team, it was still like this when playing against the German team, and there were even signs of this in the pre-match exchange games.

"By the way, how was the match between England and Germany?" Li Huitang asked substitute Chen Zhenhe.

Chen Zhenhe was from Shanghai and fought in the vanguard. He would die on the anti-Japanese battlefield in two years. He smiled and said: "I just received the news that the British beat Germany 3-0 in the first half. They will definitely lose this game. We only need to compare the goal difference with Germany."

"As expected." Li Huitang said cheerfully.

The last two games of the group stage were played at the same time. The purpose was to prevent cheating, but it was impossible to prevent it because most of the referees in the two games were German.

The second half started quickly, and the Chinese team changed three forwards at once, which was really physically demanding.

Li Huitang still has to play the whole game, and his ability is world-class. After losing to the British team, the British head coach directly approached Li Huitang and invited Li Huitang to join a certain club. He also said that he could apply for British citizenship for Li Huitang.

After receiving the ball, Zhang Xianyuan, an overseas Chinese from Java, led wildly to the wing, stepping all the way into the frontcourt. This was to create opportunities for other forwards. He could attract only one defender from the other side - the opponent frantically arranged six defenders. .

In the end, the Danes were not fooled and only sent one Kuangzu, while the rest were crowded in the penalty area. Zhang Xianyuan had no choice but to pass the ball back to Ma Jingxiang. Ma Jingxiang dribbled the ball and ran more than ten meters into the frontcourt. Two opponents immediately surrounded him, and one guy shoveled hard from two meters away.

Ma Jingxiang was startled. He was afraid that his foot would be broken, so he quickly changed direction to avoid it and hurriedly pushed it to Li Huitang.

Li Huitang looked at the Danish defenders in front of him. If there was no black whistle, he would have dared to attack. However, under the threat of the black whistle, he could not break through at all and directly took a lob shot from 35 meters.

The shot was accurate, but unfortunately it was too on target and was easily saved by the Danish goalkeeper.

"Alas!" The entire audience sighed in unison.

Li Huitang shook his head in disappointment, turned around and walked back.

Tan Jiangbai ran over and said to Li Huitang: "Captain, I have a suggestion."

"Say quickly." Li Huitang said.

Tan Jiangbai said: "I will no longer play as a defender. I will play as a forward. You will give me opportunities to header the ball. In addition, you and Sun Jinshun look for opportunities to shoot from long range. Don't tangle with the Danes in the frontcourt."

Li Huitang thought for a while and said: "It's feasible, let's do it."

Tan Jiangbai's nickname is "Tan Bongtou". Although his dribbling skills are weak, he is extremely good at heading the ball and competing for high aerial balls. Li Huitang and Sun Jinshun both have the title of "magic legs". Li Huitang broke the net and Sun Jinshun broke the goalkeeper's arm.

Two minutes later, Li Huitang took advantage of the substitution time to re-formulate the attack plan.

Tan Jiangbaichu waited for a header near the penalty area, while Li Huitang and Sun Jinshun looked for opportunities to shoot long distances from the outside of the frontcourt. The remaining two forwards were tasked with creating chaos and passing the ball.

In the 12th minute of the second half, Sun Jinshun shot a world-wide shot. The Danish defender jumped up high to block it with his face. He was directly concussed and was so dizzy that he could not recover for a long time. The ball bounced into no man's land, and forward Xie Qingfu immediately chased after him. The Danish defender was half a beat too slow and simply swooped forward to grab Xie Qingfu's pants.

The two fell at the same time, and Xie Qingfu's pants were pulled down to his knees. As a result, the referee did not blow the whistle.

Li Huitang and another Danish defender grabbed the ball at the same time. The opponent used his strength to come over and knocked Li Huitang back two steps. However, during the scramble, the ball slowly rolled towards the sideline. Ma Jingxiang just rushed to the ball and saw two Danish defenders double-teaming him. He subconsciously passed the ball through the lob.

Tan Jiangbai was guarding there, but there was a Danish defender beside him. The two of them jumped high at the same time and made small action fouls at the same time.

The Danish defender pulled Tan Jiangbai's clothes, and Tan Jiangbai used an elbow while jumping. As a result, they both pushed the ball into the sky again. The ball flew up vertically and then fell vertically. The two men jumped up at the same time again. This time the Danish defender pulled Tan Jiangbai's clothes.

The Danish defender tipped the ball out of the baseline. Tan Jiangbai lay down and rolled in the penalty area, holding his stomach in pain and refusing to get up.

The German referee first chose to ignore it, which resulted in boos from the audience. The Germans still have some pride. Even if it is related to their qualifying, a black whistle that is too outrageous can still arouse public outrage.

The referee seemed to feel embarrassed and came over and asked in German: "What's wrong with you?"

Tan Jiangbai replied in English: "He hit me in the stomach."

"I didn't." The Danish defender looked innocent. He really didn't play. The Chinese player was just diving.

The referee gave the Danish defender a warning and then awarded the Chinese team a corner kick.

"Why not a penalty kick?" The Chinese players gathered around to argue with the referee.

The German referee waved his hand, indicating that the game should continue.

Li Huitang was depressed and took the corner kick. The Chinese and Danish players were all crowded in the penalty area, and the ball fell high with spin. It actually hit the side netting in an arc. The Danish goalkeeper was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat and subconsciously jumped into the air. The ball hit the edge of his glove and miraculously took off again.

Tan Jiangbai jumped up with the team members at the same time, but was pulled down by the Danish team members next to him.

A Danish player successfully touched the ball, but he lost his balance and tried his best to push the ball out of the baseline.

The top was crooked and the ball went in.

Oolong...

The Chinese team members were stunned for a moment, then hugged and cheered.

The score is 4:1.

The Danish player who headed the ball into his own goal spread his hands helplessly towards the goalkeeper. The goalkeeper was so angry that he took off his gloves and threw them on the ground.

"Beautiful!" Zhou Hexuan gloated and clapped his hands.

Throughout the second half, except for the few players who had just been replaced, the other players of the Chinese team obviously declined in physical strength. The pressure on the three defenders increased greatly, and the Danish forwards broke through and shot several times. Fortunately, the Danes' skills were relatively rough. It was as if they had a grudge against the goalpost, and the face of the goalpost was almost swollen.

Li Huitang still did not add defenders, and the midfield was pitifully weak. Anyway, as long as he received the ball, he would pass the ball to the frontcourt to fight in the melee.

Li Huitang and Sun Jinshun made various long-distance shots. Although they did not score, they scared the Danes. After Tan Jiangbai made several threatening headers in the penalty area, he was followed by two Danish defenders at any time, reducing the pressure on the four forwards on the outside.

With 14 minutes left before the end of the game, Li Huitang caught the ball again. The Danish defender who was marking him was four or five meters away and slowly came up to press him. This guy thought Li Huitang was going to take another long shot.

Li Huitang took the ball and jogged for two steps, put on a powerful volley stance, suddenly swung the ball forward, and at the same time accelerated to charge around people. By the time the defender who was marking him came to his senses, Li Huitang had already run five or six meters away. Another defender came to cover, and Li Huitang passed the ball again.

"Hiss!"

The defending defender subconsciously pulled, but Li Huitang ignored him. Half of his jersey was torn off, causing the opponent's defender to fall down.

At this time, one of the two defenders beside Tan Jiangbai immediately ran to block him. Li Huitang quickly changed direction while sprinting, avoiding the opponent's defender's body and volleying with all his strength, hitting the goalkeeper who flew to save the ball in the head.

The ball bounced back, and a Danish defender jumped up to tip the ball. It deflected and landed at Sun Jinshun's feet. Sun Jinshun volleyed directly, hitting the crossbar of the goal and bouncing back. Tan Jiangbai and the Dane next to him jumped up to fight for the ball, but neither of them got it. The ball hit the face of the defender who was blocking Li Huitang and bounced back to the goal.

The Danish goalkeeper, who was still staring at stars, punched unconsciously and the ball flew away again. This time, forward Xie Qingfu grabbed the ball. He caught a glimpse of Sun Jinshun running toward the goal and immediately kicked it over.

Sun Jinshun accelerated to catch the ball, but it was still a bit slow, and the Danish defender in front had already come over, giving him no time to stop the ball and prepare. Sun Jinshun flew forward without reservation and hit the ball with his head to shoot.

This is all a matter of luck. Sun Jinshun's heading skills are not very good, and he obviously missed the ball this time.

However, the ball was hit by mistake, and it was heading towards the corner of the goal, and the height was also very awkward. The Danish goalkeeper tried his best to block the ball with only the edge of his palm.

The ball was blocked and changed direction and flew upwards, hit the crossbar and fell down, barely stopping in front of the goal line. Tan Jiangbai immediately pounced on him and used his head to push the football into the goal before the opponent's defender could save the ball.

The score is 5:1.

The audience burst into applause because the goal was so tortuous and wonderful.

The Danish players were a little lost. This goal completely made them lose their fighting spirit. No matter how much the Danish coach scolded them, the Danish players listlessly began to sleepwalk again.

The Chinese players' physical strength has reached its limit. Li Huitang, who played the whole game, struggled to even run and his legs felt like they were filled with lead, but their morale was very high.

Because victory is in sight!

The next game was very strange. Except for the goalkeeper who was still working hard, the other Danish players seemed to be walking on the court.

The German referee was very anxious. If the Chinese team scored another goal, Germany would lose in terms of goal difference. The referees wanted to turn their whistles into whips and whip the Danish players to fight for them. This is what the saying goes: the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuchs are in a hurry.

The soulless Danes were easy to deal with, and the Chinese team began to bombard them indiscriminately.

6:1……

7:1……

8:1……

In the last 10 minutes, the Chinese team actually scored three goals in a row, greatly exceeding the set goal.

The Chinese team qualified and the German team was eliminated.

Zhou Hexuan took a long breath. He liked to watch games like this. No matter the outcome, the players were fighting with their lives. They had that spirit and that unyielding soul.
