After the China team changed players and strengthened their defense, Cameroon became more and more depressed. On one hand, they were behind in the score, and on the other hand, they were running out of time. The tight defense of the China team made it impossible for them to attack.
Both sides did not make any progress in the remaining time of the game.
When the final whistle sounded, the Free State Stadium became a sea of celebration for the China fans.
"Congratulations to the China team for a good start in the group stage of the World Cup!
After 90 minutes of the game, the China team defeated the African team, Cameroon, with a score of 3: 0. In the game, the China team captain, Qin Xiong, scored twice and became the key player of the game. Once again, Captain Qin did not let us down. The situation of our group in this World Cup is very serious, but it is a good start.
I hope the China team can continue to maintain this.
In the next match, we will be facing the Dutch team. Although the Dutch team is very strong, we can't give up. I believe that as long as we show today's condition and fighting spirit, we might still have a chance against the Dutch team!
This is Bloemfontein, South Africa. I am the live commentator, He Wei. Audience friends, goodbye. In the next game between the China team and the Netherlands team, let's make an appointment to cheer for the China team again! "
The China team players walked to the sidelines and began to be interviewed.
Qin Xiong was surrounded by reporters from all over the world. Of course, he would first take care of the China reporters.
"Captain Qin, congratulations on scoring two goals in this game. After defeating Cameroon with a score of 3: 0, the China team became the first in this group. Do you think the China team has a chance to make history in this World Cup and make it to the knockout stage?"
The other game in this group, the Netherlands and Denmark team, had already ended. The Netherlands team defeated Denmark with a score of 2: 0.
Now the China team defeated Cameroon with a score of 3: 0, so the China team became the first in the group because of the number of goals scored.
Qin Xiong wiped the sweat off his neck. South Africa was so damn hot! It was the kind of hot that made people uncomfortable. When sweat came out, it stuck to the body and was very uncomfortable.
Qin Xiong said to the reporter, "There will definitely be opportunities, but it's too early to talk about qualifying. We just won one game. If we can win another game, we can talk about qualifying. Winning is good, but we have to stay calm and rational. "
"You won the Golden Boot in the last World Cup, and you scored two goals today. Do you think you have a chance to defend your title this time?"
A reporter from England continued to ask.
Qin Xiong smiled and said, "There is definitely hope. But just as you said, I won the Golden Boot in the last World Cup, but the China team did not advance to the next round in the group stage. If I could use the Golden Boot in exchange for the China team advancing to the next round in the group stage, I would definitely choose to advance to the next round in the group stage. We are a team, and the glory of the team comes after the glory of the team. That's why I'm not thinking about that right now. I'm just trying my best to contribute to the national team. That's all.
After Qin Xiong and his teammates were interviewed, they walked towards the players' tunnel.
After returning to the locker room, Qin Xiong immediately called for a team recap.
The World Cup schedule was packed and did not leave time for the players to celebrate their victory.
Therefore, Qin Xiong needed to keep his teammates calm and look at the victory rationally.
Ali Khan also modestly said at the post-match press conference, "The victory of the China team is a great help to the confidence of the team. We have a good start, but the next two games against the Netherlands and Denmark will be tough. We have to give more to be able to break into the knockout stage."
There was jubilation in China. The fans were crazy about the victory of the China team.
And the meddlesome media also compared Qin Xiong, Messi, Ronaldo, Rooney, and other top star players to highlight that Qin Xiong's performance in the first group stage of the World Cup began to attract attention and led the team to victory.
The China team rested for a day before moving to Durban. The second group stage game against the Netherlands would be held at the Durban Stadium.
Everything seemed very calm. Other than the Asian media paying attention to the performance of the China team, the other European media only focused on Qin Xiong.
June 18th.
Ali Khan attended the pre-match press conference. He claimed that the game against the Netherlands was the biggest challenge that the China team had ever faced!
It could also be said that.
The China team rarely had the opportunity to play against the world's top teams in official games, especially on the international stage. The last time might be traced back to the game against Brazil in the 2002 World Cup.
The 0: 4 defeat was still fresh in people's minds.
The upcoming game against the Netherlands would also be the strongest opponent that the China team had faced in recent years.
Ali Khan's words were true.
A reporter asked, "It can be said that Qin Xiong and the main players of the Netherlands national team are very familiar with each other. Will he provide helpful advice and opinions to the coaching staff?"
Ali Khan smiled bitterly and said, "I'm a Dutch myself. We have to compete against a team as a whole. It's hard to say how much our understanding of a star player will help. Star players like Robben, Robin van Persie, and Snede are familiar to everyone, but there are very few China players who can play against them. The situation on the field is completely different from the situation in front of the television."
The Dutch coach, van Marwijk, was extremely low-key in the press conference.
He said, "Many people say that the Netherlands will advance early if they win this game, but the same thing happened to the China team. If they win the game, they will have six points. After all, the game is played out. We can't be too optimistic. In particular, the China team has a player called Qin Xiong. "
The reporter asked curiously, "Do you think that Qin Xiong can lead the China team to defeat the Netherlands team?"
Van Marwijk nodded and said, "Nothing is impossible on the football field, and as a coach, I have seen Qin Xiong's ability many years ago. He is stronger now than he was then. "
At this time, a reporter recalled van Marwijk's resume and connected it to the time when he coached Feyenoord in the Eredivisie.
It just so happened that Qin Xiong was a member of Ajax at that time.
Therefore, van Marwijk was absolutely qualified to evaluate Qin Xiong and was afraid of Qin Xiong.
The game between the Netherlands and China team made Qin Xiong speechless.
June 19th.
In the players' tunnel at the Durban Stadium.
Qin Xiong glanced at the starting players of the Netherlands team standing next to him.
Club teammates, former teammates, friends …
Their relationship was surprisingly complicated.
And this group of people glanced at Qin Xiong with provocative eyes, but they were a little wary.
A game that made Qin Xiong feel very strange was about to come.
