I would like to apologize to everyone here.
There was an emergency yesterday and I did not have the chance to touch the computer all day. I was busy until this afternoon. To be honest, I only slept for four hours.
I know that my updates in the past month have not been very stable. I can only say that from tomorrow onwards, I will update in the second half of this month. Please see my sincerity.

China's World Cup quarter-finals match report was published on CCTV's News Simulcast program and took up 3 minutes and 46 seconds. It also included a segment where China's captain, Qin Xiong, was interviewed at the end.
As June and July alternated, the summer heat began to sweep across China. However, football fans and even many ordinary people were enjoying this craze!
China's football performance in the World Cup had become an extremely inspirational story. If people did not talk about football, it would seem that they were outdated and could not keep up with the trend.
The clip of Qin Xiong's six goals in the World Cup was repeatedly broadcast on major TV stations. It almost became an advertising existence.
Before the start of the World Cup, the sales of the Chinese team's jerseys had already reached an astonishing number. After entering the top eight, the sales of the Chinese team's jerseys had climbed to a shocking record.
The sponsors were smiling as if they had only fully realized how huge the China market was!
The people also made wearing China's jersey a fashion, especially Qin Xiong's number 10 jersey, which seemed to symbolize glory!
People were looking forward to China's continued efforts to create a miracle and continue the legend of the dark horse!
However, China's team, which was really far away in South Africa, was not optimistic.
Because their opponent for the quarter-finals was out!
Spain, the champion of the European Championship two years ago, eliminated Portugal, led by Ronaldo, and would meet China in the quarter-finals!
China's team was on the way to Johannesburg, and major media teams from mainland China were broadcasting the whole process live.
The attention to China's team was not as simple as watching them play, but the whole process!
Including their training, food, and travel, all aspects could attract huge attention in the China market.
Even Sylvia, who was far away in China, received interview requests from the media.
Sylvia led Qin Xiong in front of the cameras and gave her blessings to the China team in Mandarin. She also expressed her love and support for Qin Xiong.
As long as it was related to the China team, it would become a hot topic. However, this gave Ali a headache.
He understood very well that in the past, only Qin Xiong was regarded as a legend. Now, the entire China team's status in the hearts of the fans had risen unprecedentedly. The attention brought by the media might distract the players.
In front of fame and fortune, no one could be aloof.
At this time of the most attention, perhaps a word from a player to a reporter could bring more fame than what he had accumulated in the past five or even ten years.
Because more people would recognize them, and it would be a positive image.
Ali Khan emphasized the discipline within the team. Qin Xiong also ruthlessly called for a team meeting, demanding that the team be completely isolated from the media and not be influenced by the media.
Spain's preparation was obviously much calmer than China's.
They were no longer the kings of the qualifiers in the past, but the European champions!
Now, their goal was the World Championship, and the quarter-finals could be said to be only half of this goal.
As for the Chinese media advocating that the China team still had hope of eliminating Spain and entering the World Cup semi-finals, the European bookmakers used very cold odds to express their position.
The probability of the China team advancing to the semi-finals was less than 10%!
In any case, the China team was still the team that the outside world was looking forward to.
It was more impactful and subversive to beat the strong with the weak.
July 4, Johannesburg, Ellis Park Stadium.
The China team and the Spain team clashed on the World Cup stage!
In the stadium stands, the China team and the Spain team fans were on equal footing. In terms of momentum, the China team fans were superior because their cheering momentum was too magnificent. On the other hand, the Spain team fans were slightly lazy and relaxed. Their confidence in the team was reflected in their attitude.
Standing in the players' tunnel, Qin Xiong glanced at the Spain team's starting players.
Needless to say, all of them were elite players, and he had played against them before.
Knowing their strength in his heart would make him less confident against the China team.
Because the disparity in strength between the strong and the weak was the biggest match Qin Xiong had ever played since he had represented the national team!
Perhaps the other China players would still have a fluke mentality, thinking that if they could eliminate Paraguay, they might have a chance to eliminate Spain. In theory, it was true.
But not everyone could clearly recognize the huge gap in strength between the two teams.
It could be said that this was a kind of stupid ignorance.
It was impossible to make the players clearly understand this with just a few words.
Just like in the past, everyone only relied on imagination to measure the strength of the European or South American teams because there was no record of them playing against each other.
The China team and the Spain team walked into the Ellis Park stadium together. The overwhelming cheering from the stands made the quarter-finals with a great disparity in strength full of an atmosphere that made the neutral fans puzzled.
Because the China team came from Asia, where football was barren, and Europe represented the world's first-class level, driving modern football forward, the Spain team, which was at its peak, was the European champion!
Of course, the China team was also the champion of the AFC Asian Cup for two consecutive years.
But in the eyes of the vast majority of neutral fans, the European champion still had a one-sided advantage!
However, the atmosphere of this game gave people the illusion that the two teams were evenly matched.
"CCTV, CCTV, this is the Ellis Park stadium in Johannesburg, South Africa. I am the host, He Wei. I am live commentating the World Cup quarter-finals between the China team and the Spain team.
The China team, which had an amazing performance in this World Cup, not only completed the task of advancing from the group, but also eliminated Paraguay in the quarter-finals to enter the World Cup quarter-finals.
Now we are facing the European champion, the Spain team. The outside world is not optimistic that the China team can step on the corpse of the European champion to advance to the World Cup semi-finals.
We have to admit that the overall strength gap between the China team and the Spain team is huge, but we can't deny that the China team, which is already the biggest dark horse in this competition, is absolutely impossible to create a miracle!
In any case, the China team has made the Chinese fans proud.
Now, let's just cheer for the China team and not think about the result. I also believe that every Chinese player on the field will do all they can to win!
In the stadium stands, more and more Chinese fans came to the scene to cheer for the China team. It is said that there are many Qin Xiong fans, which are the local fans in South Africa, who took the initiative to join the China team. They are also cheering for the China team!
Many of the Spain players have been teammates with Qin Xiong, and they have also played against Qin Xiong in Europe.
After the last game, Ali Khan revealed that Qin Xiong's experience is very helpful to the team!
I hope that in today's game against Spain, Qin Xiong's experience in European football can also help the China team! "
