The Chinese team is preparing for the World Cup knockout round in full swing.

When the participating teams changed from 32 to 16, the Chinese team gained more attention!

Fleet Street is reporting that the Chinese team has sang praises to Situ Yunbing after advancing to the World Cup quarterfinals!

Even the headlines of the Times sports page use emotional words such as "We miss legend!"

When the 1/8 final was about to come, Situ Yunbing attended the pre-match press conference the day before the game day.

There were many reporters on the scene, and many reporters from Europe took the initiative to say hello to Situ Yunbing when he came to the stage.

When people think that the longer Situ Yunbing leaves the European football world, people will be more and more forgetful of him, but it turns out that people miss the era when Situ Yunbing ruled more!

Because that means that there is an insurmountable peak in European football!

Other teams need to challenge, and only the team that defeated Situ Yunbing proves that they have surpassed the peak!

After Situ Yunbing sat down, he looked forward to tomorrow's game.

"I have read some reports and many voices are saying that the Chinese team meets Mexico in the 18th final is a good luck sign, but I think Mexico definitely thinks that way, because compared to Belgium, they obviously expect to fight against the Chinese team, so that their probability of reaching the quarterfinals of the World Cup will be much higher.

Mexico qualifies from a difficult group, and their performance proves its strength. I think there will be a game that is extremely difficult for both times tomorrow night. We need to pay more for victory. At the same time, the pressure of the game may bring different effects to the team, which is completely different from the feeling of the group stage.

Recently I have been helping the team to reduce the pressure as much as possible, and in China there are many media reports that the Chinese team has created a new history, which in some sense may make us more relaxed in the game.”

When the reporter asked him how he viewed Mexican coach Martino, Situ Yunbing shook his head and said, "I respect every opponent, they are doing their best to make efforts and contributions to the team's victory."

As for whether the Chinese team will adopt unexpected tactics in the knockout round, Situ Yunbing smiled and said: "This is the World Cup. I don't want the Chinese team to be a laughing stock, and I don't want the players to have the illusion of losing if the team is eliminated."

The implication is that he may stick to the rules and not consider winning by surprise.

It is difficult to win on the World Cup stage. After all, no opponent will play offensive football in the knockout stage unscrupulously. This is not surprising that the winners of the past three World Cups, France, Germany, and Spain, have basically never scored large scores in the knockout stage, and the scenes are often not fast. They are actively controlling the rhythm of the game, and even the French team will become very utilitarian and consume game time after leading.

Mexico coach Martino is an Argentinian. The reason why he is known to the world is that he once coached Barcelona. Although it was only a short season, he later had an experience in coaching the Argentina national team, which made him famous.

After taking over the Mexico team three years ago, Martino led the team to perform well, at least firmly suppressing the United States on the one acre of three-pointers in North America. In the final of the Golden Cup, he led the United States to win the cup.

But Martino has not proven that he can succeed in European football, so he is not as famous as the front-line coach at the coaching level.

Martino was more cautious than Situ Yunbing at the pre-match press conference.

"The performance of the Chinese team in the group stage is very surprising. Now we only know two things about the Chinese team. First, they have a legendary coach, and second, the Chinese team is very strong.

What we know about the rest is similar to what ordinary fans know.

So the upcoming game will be very difficult. We will strive to win the game within regular time, but we must beware of the sneak attack from the Chinese team. I think we need to be vigilant throughout the process!

It is not easy to get to the quarterfinals, and if we can advance to the quarterfinals, it will be a huge success for Mexico, and we will do our best to do it!"

Both coaches are very proud of each other. When they arrive at the World Cup stage, they still have to show their demeanor, even if they are hypocritical.

The next day, the Chinese team and Mexico rushed to Alcohol Stadium.

This stadium is also unique. Its appearance looks like a sea shell, and its roof can be bent and deformed. At the same time, in the stands inside the stadium, fans can directly enjoy the natural scenery of the Persian Gulf outside!

Maybe the fans who watch the game from the front of the TV cannot have personal experience, but the fans who really come to Qatar to watch the game have a dreamy feeling in almost every game.

Perhaps the Qatar World Cup will become the most artistic World Cup in the history of the World Cup.

Before the game started, Situ Yunbing stood in the locker room for a lecture.

Every player of the Chinese team is full of energy and fighting spirit.

Situ Yunbing looked around with one hand and said solemnly: "We have already qualified in the group and entered the World Cup's top 16. I can tell you responsibly that we lost the game and returned to China today, and we are still heroes!

But with my experience in coaching for more than ten years, I can also tell you responsibly that if you feel satisfied at this time, you will still be mediocre people!

There have been many times in my coaching career when I can satisfy myself and stop, and I have also met many teams and players who face such choices.

Some people seem to think that they are worthy of the whole world, and can lie down and bask in the sun, drink a beer, and then hold the beauty to flirt with it. Life seems to be perfect.

But some people will continue to look up at the sky and continue to climb upwards!

The former's compliment will only be for a moment, and then it will be thrown away by the latter, getting farther and farther away!

The cruelty and charm of competitive sports are here, and when you stop, others won’t!

When you think you can satisfy it, others won’t!

When you feel that your dream has been achieved, others think it is nothing at all!

If you ask me where the real end is? I will tell you, no!

If you still love this sport, then your career has only one goal, one that you will never achieve, and exceed the limit!

Go beyond the known limit, surpass the reached limit, and constantly surpass your own limit!

If the driving force that drives you to fight now is no longer money or a simple goal, then I think only those who are driven by the sense of honor and the power of dreams can continue to work hard!

Ask yourself, which one are you?

If it weren't for the sake of dreams and a sense of mission, I wouldn't coach the Chinese team, whether it was Monaco on the coast of Liguria, Hamburg on the Elbe River, or Liverpool on the east bank of the Mersey River, my throne is there, where I can enjoy the pleasure of domination every day, and enjoy the cheers and worship of the crowds around me!

But I chose to leave because I also have to shoulder my mission and break through my own limits!

I believe that you, like me, will never stop pursuing your limits!

Remember, from now on, we fight for our dreams, for honor, and for our own time!

No matter how inconspicuous we are here, remember, this is our World Cup!”

The Chinese generals clenched their fists and shouted in unison.

"That's right!"

"This is our World Cup!"

“Fight for honor!”

Situ Yunbing nodded slightly, then stood by the door waiting for the players to appear.

He blessed the players one by one before he walked out of the locker room.

After coming to the Al-Kohall Stadium, Situ Yunbing felt the comfort brought by the sea breeze. The deafening cheers on the scene really made him fascinated, but he immediately cheered up and kissed the ring on his finger in the direction where the Chinese team's wife group was located in the stands.

Siglide also responded in the stands, regardless of whether Situ Yunbing saw it or not.

The fan group of the Chinese team going to the World Cup with the team this time is also famous in the fan circle because they always have first-hand live scenes and live stories that cannot be told by live scenes.

The Chinese team's wife team has also become a beautiful landscape on the World Cup stage.

When the starters of both teams entered the court, Martino and Situ Yunbing both looked solemn. The upcoming game was a life-and-death battle for both teams!

The winners continue to fight in the quarterfinals of the World Cup, while the losers can only pack their luggage and go home!

After the starters of the two teams walked into the stadium, the cheers of the fans in the audience were even more shocking.

"CCTV, CCTV, good evening, everyone, welcome to watch the 2022 Qatar World Cup 1/8 finals, China's team faces Mexico!

The group stage has all ended, and the 1/8 finals have begun yesterday. The winner of this game will face England in the quarter-finals!

The Chinese team advanced to the semi-finals as the top spot in the group, while Mexico qualifies as the second in the group.

However, there is actually no big gap in the strength of the two teams. Let’s take a look at the starting lineup of the two teams.

The Chinese team started 433 today.

Goalkeeper: Shen Jingjie.

Defenders: Abuduhaimiti, Bai Yuanfan, Cheng Renjun, Li Lei.

Midfielder: Zhang Zhibang, Zhao Fenghua, Huang Bozhou.

Forward: Luo Xin, Wu Lei, Luo Cheng.

The Chinese team has set up its strongest lineup today!

Mexico's starting lineup today was 4141.

Goalkeeper: Ochoa. Defenders: Rodriguez, Araujo, Alvarez, Moreno.

Midfielders: Antuna, Pine, Diego Reyes, Gutierrez, Pizarro.

Forward: Gimenes.

Mexico's starting lineup is also their strongest lineup now. There are many veterans in their lineup, such as 37-year-old goalkeeper Ochoa and 34-year-old Moreno on the left back.

Although there are not many players in the Mexico team who are currently playing in the top five European leagues, only centre-back Araujo and forward Gimenes, Alvarez plays in Ajax, Gutierrez plays in PV Eindhoven, and many other players have had the history of playing in the top five leagues. It can be said that they have rich experience in the top league!
