The Green Superstar

Chapter 40 - Already on the way

About five to six hundred years ago, a unique civilization existed in Mexico City, the Aztec Empire!

The Aztec civilization, the Inca civilization, and the Maya civilization are known as the three major civilizations of Central and South America.

If you come to Mexico for tourism, then the Aztec civilization relics in Mexico City are not to be missed.

The 2011 World Cup Finals in Mexico will be staged in the Aztec Arena. Combining the atmosphere of the local culture and history, this final will be as if time and space change before it starts. It seems that there are gods and spectators.

Before the Chinese team prepared for the finals, the entire team was very calm, with less gossip, less tricky, more focused, more ready to go!

At noon on the day of the competition, Sun Rou led the chef team to make a unique lunch for everyone.

The ingredients are still common in the past, but the presentation after the cooking is ingenious.

The food on each plate is posed, some are English WIN, some are crown or trophy, and some are NO.1, etc. There are many styles, all of which are cheering for the Chinese team.

This group of lads smiled heartily when they saw this carefully prepared lunch. Everyone had a much better meal than in the past.

Sun Rou will not mingle with these boys, she is always a bystander on the edge of the group, but everyone can feel that she has put a lot of thought into this team.

It is basically impossible not to be picky in their age group. Even though Sun Rou would not treat anyone other than Tang Hong specially, it is common for the other three cooks to make more of their favorite foods when arranging recipes.

If Sun Rou rushed out and yelled enthusiastically for the Chinese team to cheer on, I am afraid that many people would be so shocked that they thought they had seen a ghost.

Sun Rou, who is just a quiet little **** weekdays, has the magic power to make everyone happy. Like this unique lunch, just looking at the shape is enough to make people feel the special power, and the happy mood will last for a long time.

Kicking is essentially a sport that will feel happy and enjoyable from the heart. If you just regard it as work, it doesn’t matter what level it can reach, but it will inevitably not be able to stimulate its ultimate strength.

At four in the afternoon, the Chinese team left the hotel and took a bus to the Aztec Arena.

The bus was driving on the highway in Mexico City, and Tang Hong sat by the window and looked at the city’s scenery carefully.

China has developed rapidly over the years, and many cities have taken on a new look. The line of modern skyscrapers brings a relatively monotonous visual sense, and the bustling is a bit avant-garde, gradually covering the historical traces of the past.

However, in many foreign cities that Tang Hong has visited, in addition to the possible slower development, it is more the active protection of cultural and historical relics. Mexico City has some relics of the Aztec civilization, as well as many national hero monuments, and most others. You can see buildings full of medieval classical colors, even if they have been renovated, they are full of history. Basically, such buildings are churches or monasteries, or they are later converted into other buildings, such as museums, art galleries, and even It is the station.

The theological status in European and American cultures is lofty. After all, in the past more than one thousand years of history, theocratic power also overrides the royal power. Therefore, compared with the historical relics of China, it comes from the architectural art of the feudal dynasty, and the historical relics in Europe and America are more churches The product of this theocratic era.

When the Aztec Arena appeared out of sight, Tang Hong’s expression suddenly became solemn.

This stadium is full of magical colors, and after many years, the suspicion of being myths cannot be ruled out.

But it is undeniable that this stadium witnessed the magnificent movement of the football king Pele in the World Cup. There is also another football king Maradona who staged the most exciting World Cup attack in the World Cup. Enshrined as a classic hand of God, here are the legends of Argentina and the tears of England.

In addition, the Aztec Arena is the only stadium in the world that has hosted two World Cup finals!

This stadium can hold close to 120,000 people, and today, before the start of the game, there are already an endless stream of spectators pouring into the stadium.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if it is the players of the Mexican team, it is an honor for them to play in this stadium, let alone the Chinese team from afar!

When the Chinese team came to the Aztec Arena for pre-match preparations, the third place was over. The German team defeated England 3:2 and won the third place in the World Junior Championships.

When the Chinese team warmed up in the stadium, at least half of the people in the stands were already sitting!

Local fans in Mexico will account for more than 95% of the audience!

Host Mexico’s off-field advantage is definitely to crush the Chinese team!

Today, the Chinese team, who came to the Aztec Arena as a guest, will face a final with few supporters!

Before they had no supporters, but neither had their opponents. At this point, there is no such thing as who has the advantage and who is at the disadvantage.

But today, when the game was about to start, the stands of the Aztec Arena were almost full, and the number of seats was close to 100,000!

There are more than 90,000 spectators who will cheer for Mexico. They will not watch the game calmly, but will create a strong momentum to pressure the Chinese team and inspire the host Mexico!

Van der Hill cheered for the team before the game. He didn’t impassionedly beat the team, but said something thought-provoking.

“I have been a coach for many years. I started as an apprentice at Ajax at the age of 19, got a coaching certificate at 24, left Ajax at 28, and now I am 33.

For almost 15 years, I and you know what has happened in world football. We only remember the successful teams and players.

But in fact, the number of players eliminated in this industry is endless.

No one goes to look at the players who left the youth academy with their luggage, maybe you see a cashier in a mall who used to be a youth academy player in a club. The success rate in this industry is very low.

You won the Asian Junior Championships and won opportunities for yourself. You came to the World Junior Championships and achieved good performance. I can tell you that there will be at least 20 European club scouts sitting in the stands today. If you perform well, they will remember your name. If you perform poorly, he will also pay attention to your name, but they will put you on their blacklist.

This is an opportunity for you at a turning point in your destiny. Grasp it, seize it, only today!

Life won’t give you too many opportunities. Are you not ready today and are determined to perform better next time? Why should life give you another chance?

So, do you want to give it a go, or do you wait until you are old, and your hearts are full of regret and lonely toward death? “

Perhaps at the age of U17, Van der Hill shouldn’t have said so heavy words before the final match, but he also hopes that these children will not be too naive and optimistic. Only when they are aware of the cruelty of professional football can they better go into the future. road!

If they still have a way to go.

The Chinese will look firm and resolute. They are very young, but if you have no ambitions, I am afraid it is impossible to stand here, it is impossible to stand out from their peers, and it is impossible to become a team!

Even their fighting spirit is no lower than those of the Chinese National Youth Team, Olympic Team, and National Team!

Because they are still very simple now, and they have a lot of energy to refuse to admit defeat. They have not yet been overwhelmed by setbacks, their psychological defenses have not been overwhelmed, they have not yet compromised with reality, and they have not yet been distracted by superior materials.

This may also be the last stage where most of them can remain single-minded in football in their lives!

Whether it is the cruelty of professional football or the complexity of reality after adulthood, their focus on football may be divided bit by bit.

The united Chinese team walked out of the locker room, and the Mexican team, also full of desire to win, was already standing in line. When they entered the Aztec Arena, the deafening cheers made the Chinese team’s ears buzzing. ring!

Because they couldn’t understand what the Mexican audience was shouting, and they couldn’t see the familiar Asian faces in the stands!

They seem to have strayed into the tiger’s lair in Longtan, and became the lamb to be slaughtered in the eyes of the Mexicans in a situation of isolation and helplessness!

As the captain, Tang Hong convened the team to boost morale before the game. Everyone shouted “China must win!”, and then went to stand vigorously to wait for the game to start.

Standing behind the middle circle, Tang Hong looked around the audience with his head raised. This was the first time in his life that he played under the gaze of nearly 100,000 spectators. Are you nervous?

Of course a bit!

But after suppressing the tension, there is a stronger motivation!

No matter how many scouts are paying attention in the stands, he vowed to shine with his own light!

He doesn’t know where he will go in the future, but he is already on the way!
