The Almighty King of Sports - Chapter 971
The Qatar World Cup is another men’s World Cup held in Asia after the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea.
At the same time, this World Cup is also the first men’s football World Cup held in winter.
There is no way, because Qatar is a desert country. In June and July, it is extremely hot, and the temperature often rises above 40 degrees, which can really burn people to death.
Of course, Qatar is also a rich country.
They also wanted to build a covered indoor football field and install air-conditioning on the football field to solve the problem of hosting the World Cup in June.
However, after FIFA’s deliberation, it still thinks it is not too appropriate.
Because the hot weather will also bring many inconveniences to fans who come to watch the football.
The World Cup is scheduled in winter, which has a considerable impact on the football leagues of European countries.
Because the football leagues in European countries are basically held across the year.
In November, when the league was in full swing, should it be suspended for the World Cup?
Moreover, in addition to the five major European leagues, there is also an important European league, the Champions League, which never stops before the winter break.
In short, for this World Cup, it was a mess and mess.
But it was finally settled.
Before flying to Qatar, the Chinese Men’s Football Team held a grand oath in the capital.
The head coach of the national football team is still Hao Wei.
Because Hao Wei has merit!
It was he who led the Hua Guo Olympic Men’s Football Team to win the gold medal in the Olympic Men’s Football Competition and created a history in China.
Now that he has made such a big result, he has been selected as the head coach of the men’s national team.
As I said before, the men’s football teams of all countries participating in the Olympics are not the strongest lineups, but the youth army!
Basically, it is made up of players 23 years and younger.
And this time, the Hua Guo Men’s National Team also presented a complete lineup.
In addition to Wang Fei, Wu Lei Wuqiu Wang was also selected for the national team.
In addition, Huang Zichang and Zhang Yuning were also successfully selected.
After the oath, the Chinese national football team flew from the Beijing airport to Qatar.
Thousands of fans and thousands of reporters came to see off on the day of the national football team’s departure.
However, in order to avoid being disturbed, the national football team enters the airport through the green channel.
After a long flight, the plane arrived at Doha International Airport in Qatar on November 19.
Qatar is a small country in the Middle East.
On land, he is only adjacent to Saudi Arabia.
He has a long coastline of more than 500 kilometers.
This country has an area of only more than 10,000 square kilometers, and most of the country is covered by deserts.
In this country, water is more expensive than oil.
Natural gas and oil are the backbone of this country’s economy.
There is also a well-known media in Qatar, that is Al Jazeera.
It is also a small country that loves sports.
As early as 2006, Doha, Qatar, hosted the Doha Asian Games.
After the plane landed.
After completing the customs clearance procedures, Wang Fei followed his teammates out of the pick-up gate and entered the airport lobby.
He thought that his national football team should not receive much attention.
After all, the World Cup has many strong players, and big-name superstars abound.
The Hua Guo Men’s Football Team has no reputation except for himself.
But when he walked out of the airport, Wang Fei saw that there were quite a few reporters waiting in front of him.
As soon as Wang Fei appeared, the reporters began to take pictures.
Behind the reporter, there were also a large number of fans cheering loudly, both men and women, with a total of at least several hundred.
Among them, there are surprisingly some Arab women who wear headscarves and hide themselves tightly.
“Wang, talk about your views on this World Cup, okay? China can be said to be in a dead group. Do you think you can successfully break through?” a reporter asked loudly.
Wang Fei knew that reporters would definitely ask that.
In the World Cup group stage, China was divided with Britain, Croatia and Mexico.
Britain is a traditional football power, and Croatia was the runner-up in the last World Cup. Mexico can also be regarded as a powerhouse in North American football.
The strength of this group is really not weak.
Wang Fei smiled and said: “This will be a very unique World Cup. I think it will definitely be very exciting! Yes, you are right, our team is not bad. The United Kingdom and Croatia are both strong. Mexico is also very strong, but I want to say that we are also a strong team! We will not be afraid of any opponents! I believe that we will be able to successfully break through! From the group, this will not be a problem !”
“You are very confident! But, do you think you can beat the Croatian team? Your first opponent will be Croatia. They were runners-up in the last World Cup!” another reporter said loudly.
Wang Fei smiled and nodded: “Croatia is really strong. They have always played the role of a dark horse. They have a large number of excellent players! I and their captain Modric are good friends. You know, we are all Real Madrid players. I once told Modric that if we meet in a World Cup match, I will defeat his team unceremoniously!”
Real Madrid midfielder Modric is the Croatian.
This Modric is not good, he has beaten Ronaldo and Messi to win the Ballon d’Or and the World Player of Football.
He is known as the midfielder of Real Madrid and Croatia.
He passes the ball with precision, superb footwork, and a very threatening pass.
Croatia was able to win the runner-up in the last World Cup. It can be said that his contribution is very great.
However, the magic flute is old.
He is now 37 years old.
The current Croatian national team players are generally older.
This also means that Croatia has reached the time for a big change in blood.
“Wang, you promised that after two years of playing in European football, you will reconsider returning to the NBA. How are you thinking about it now?” A New York Times reporter asked suddenly.
This surprised Wang Fei a bit.
It has been more than two years since I changed to playing football.
Isn’t the NBA still obsessed with oneself?
“I thought about it, but I think it’s not the best time to return to the NBA.” Wang Fei shrugged and said.
“However, you have promised that you will return to the Lakers in two years. The Lakers have been looking forward to your return. You can’t break your promise, can you?” the New York Times reporter continued.
“No, that’s not a promise, or you remembered it wrong.” Wang Fei said with a smile.
What Wang Fei didn’t expect was that this New York Times reporter was obviously a bit stabbing a hornet’s nest.
“Forget the NBA! Wang is very popular in world football now, why should he go back to the **** NBA?”
“We all like watching Wang play football! He has already achieved great success on the football field, and he will never return to the NBA again!”
“God! Wang Ke is so popular. He has already announced his withdrawal from the NBA tomorrow morning. Why is he still talking about this topic?”
“Damn it! When the Football World Cup is about to be held, mentioning the NBA is really out of date!”
In short, many people clamored and attacked the New York Times reporter viciously.
Wang Fei shrugged.
He said in his heart that it seems that he is really deeply rooted in world football now.
My fans are now worried about going back to play basketball.
The New York Times reporter finally had to run away in embarrassment.
Because he felt that if he didn’t leave, he might be personally attacked.
Wang Fei accepted questions from reporters in the airport lobby, and he signed a few fans, and then he was able to walk out of the airport lobby.
It is already the day of late November.
In China, it was already a bit cold at this time.
However, this place in Qatar is not too cold due to the ocean monsoon climate.
The sun is very big in the sky.
It feels like the temperature is at least 26 or 7 degrees.
This made Wang Fei, who was dressed a little thick, a little hot.
“Wang Fei, let me help you carry your luggage.” A tall, flat-headed boy walked over quickly, and could not help but took his suitcase from Wang Fei.
The boy is Wu Shuyong, a substitute forward for the Chinese National Men’s Football Team.
Wu Shuyong is a player of the Beijing Football Club. The young man is young, just in his early 20s and 1.87 meters tall. He is currently very eye-catching in the league, threatening his header and his footwork is also quite delicate.
He is also a talented young player.
“Thanks.” Wang Fei smiled and said to Wu Shuyong.
“It doesn’t work hard, I am very happy to be able to do something for the idol.” Wu Shuyong said with a shy smile.
Get on the bus.
No particular story happened along the way.
Doha is the capital of Qatar.
Located in the Persian Gulf.
It is a famous port city in the Persian Gulf.
This city also brings together more than half of Qatar’s population.
The entire country of Qatar is more than two million people.
With this calculation, Doha is actually not many people, just over one million people.
In China, he is inconspicuous at all.
After staying.
Hua Guo Men’s Football is just adapting to the familiar venue.
The West Asian city of Doha has also become extremely lively.
The World Cup is about to take place, and fans from all over the world are beginning to gather.
Among them, Europe has the most fans.
After all, Europeans are notorious for their enthusiasm for football.
In addition to Europeans, the second most come are Chinese.
This is the second time in the history of Chinese football that it has entered the World Cup stage. Moreover, this World Cup is led by a superstar like Wang Fei. Obviously, he will not accompany the prince to study like the previous World Cup.
Therefore, the Chinese people’s enthusiasm for watching this World Cup is quite high.
It was the night of the 20th in a blink of an eye, because the World Cup opening match was about to start, so after dinner, the leader of the Hua Guo football team asked the players to go back to their rooms to rest early to regain their energy.
For the first opponent Croatia, the Chinese team also attached great importance to it.
Wang Fei went back to his room and looked at the time. It was only after 8 o’clock in the evening at this time. He went to bed at this time and couldn’t fall asleep no matter what.
Wang Fei thought to himself, why not just play the game for a while.
Playing games is a way for athletes to relax themselves.
However, as soon as he opened the game, he heard strange noises outside the window.
Wang Fei was taken aback for a moment, he turned his head to look, and found that there was a person outside the window tightly attached to the window, leaning his face on the glass and looking into the room.
