Chapter 38 Encounter
June 15th, the Lunar Dragon Boat Festival.
The Chinese team, which had just returned to Beijing from South Korea after participating in the World Cup, held a team summary meeting in the conference room on the second floor of the Kunlun Hotel in Beijing.
The Football Association did not allow reporters to enter the venue to observe, but agreed to give reporters two minutes to take photos before the meeting to record this historical moment.
Subsequently, the meeting was held behind closed doors. Every time a person made a "farewell speech", there would be a burst of warm applause in the venue.
An hour later, before the meeting ended, Zhang Enhua suddenly walked out of the venue alone. "Heizi" has been a member of the "Mi Family Army" since the first training session of the national football team in Jiading in March 2000. But now
, with the regret of not playing a minute in the World Cup, he left behind his coaching teammates who were still in a meeting, took the luggage he had prepared and left alone, with no one to see him off.
After more than an hour, the "final meeting" finally ended. Fordbao Company, a subsidiary of the Football Association, prepared a ceremony and brought silver spherical trophies into the conference room, with the words "World Cup Qualifying Commemorative Silver Ball" written on them.
". Obviously before breaking up, the Football Association hopes that everyone will forget the regret of being eliminated in the group stage of the World Cup and leave a happy memory to move forward.
………………
At 12:30 noon, the national team collectively participated in the "last lunch" hosted by the sponsors. Two presidents of the Football Association, one chairman and one deputy, attended the meeting. They thanked the sponsors for their support over the past two years and also praised them.
The hard work and sweat of the players in these two years.
The World Cup group stage has ended, and the final ranking of the Chinese team has been revealed: they finally ranked 24th.
Among the thirty-two teams participating in the Club World Cup, in addition to the sixteen teams that advanced to the knockout rounds, there are seven teams including South Africa, Portugal, Cameroon, Argentina, Croatia, Ecuador and Russia.
Previously, these seven teams either surpassed the Chinese team in points or surpassed the Chinese team in goal difference.
But for the Chinese team, which is making its first World Cup appearance, this is already an acceptable result.
In particular, the Chinese team's performance on the offensive end is remarkable. Their offensive firepower ranked fourth in the group stage, which surprised everyone.
You know, the most ideal goal of the Chinese team before was just to "win one game, draw one game, score one goal", and then get 4 points to advance to the knockout rounds.
Today, the Chinese team has scored 6 goals, which has far exceeded the task. Unfortunately, the team failed to advance to the knockout rounds because of poor defense.
After lunch, the international players began to leave the Kunlun Hotel one after another and took taxis to go home.
Yin Jun did not leave the Kunlun Hotel because his parents came to the capital and lived here. So, on this night, Yin Jun's parents arranged some rice dumplings with the Kunlun Hotel. The family of three, plus the agent's aunt,
We spent the first Dragon Boat Festival together after Yin Jun traveled through time.
………………
Starting from June 16, Yin Jun began to accompany his parents and travel to various scenic spots in Beijing, while his agent Tang Auntie began to negotiate with brands interested in inviting Yin Jun for treatment.
As for the production crews that invited Yin Jun to play the role, Lu Qi only agreed to the two production crews "The Family" and "Dragon" on behalf of Yin Jun.
In fact, Lu Qi was very surprised by Yin Jun's choice. Because in the scripts Yin Jun rejected, Yin Jun's role was relatively important, but the two remaining scripts were both completely rejected.
The role of soy sauce.
But since Yin Jun has made this choice, she won't say anything. After all, for Yin Jun, playing football is a serious job. He may even go abroad to play football or film in the second half of the year, which seems a bit unprofessional.
What makes Yin Jun very depressed is that whenever he appears with his parents at a scenic spot, it will cause chaos. The World Cup is not over yet, and Chinese fans are everywhere, let alone a scenic spot with a lot of traffic.
Already.
So, after accompanying his parents to the Forbidden City and the Badaling Great Wall, Yin Jun wisely stopped planning to accompany his parents and let the old couple travel alone to other scenic spots in the capital.
Although the old couple felt a little regretful about this, for the sake of a safe and smooth trip, they no longer asked Yin Jun to accompany them.
………………
The World Cup is still in full swing. As early as when the Chinese celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival, the knockout rounds of the World Cup have already begun.
Judging from the two knockout matches on the first day, everything looked normal, and everything that should be won was won: Germany defeated Paraguay 1:0, and England won Denmark cleanly 3:0.
However, there was a big upset on the second day. Sweden was eliminated by Senegal, and then Spain and Ireland drew 1:1 in the 120th minute. The Matadors narrowly won the penalty shootout with a score of 4:3.
.
The first knockout match on the third day was once again very surprising, because Mexico, ranked seventh in the world, was completely defeated by the United States with a score of 0:2.
The Brazilian team defeated Belgium 2:0 without any doubt.
On June 18, Yin Jun reported to the crew of "The Family" and met with everyone.
Also reporting to the crew on the same day was Liu Xian'er, the second female lead, Bai Xiuzhu, who had just returned to China from the other side of the ocean, and the two would eventually become a "husband and wife" in the play.
Originally, the crew chose to play Bai Xiuzhu not Liu Xian'er, but a Korean actor. However, due to visa issues, that actor could not come to China, so the crew urgently replaced the actor who had just returned from the United States and was going to study in Beijing.
Shadow of Liu Xian'er.
The "couple" in the play can be regarded as new actors who have become a monk.
Yin Jun didn't spend much time in the drama. He met everyone, treated the main members of the crew to a meal, and then left the crew because he had to go there the next day.
The National Olympic team reports and participates in a warm-up match for the National Olympic team.
This time Yin Jun is one of the four national players recruited by the Olympic team. He really wants to make a setting in the system so that the Olympic team will no longer recruit him. After all, for him, the Olympic team's games are really important.
It doesn't make any sense.
And while Yin Jun was having dinner with the crew, a World Cup knockout match was held, which caused an uproar in the world of football: the host South Korean team beat Italy 2:1!
If this was a normal game, it would be nothing. At most, it would be reported that this was a super upset. But the problem is that the referee played a very disgraceful role in this game and can be said to have directed this game.
of victory or defeat.
