After more than 30 years, a popular saying has penetrated into the hearts of the people: "Traveling needs to taste the hardship, watching football when the anger of the crown." Nowadays, tourism is changing rapidly, with a wide range of products such as in-depth tours, leisure tours, B&B experiences, free tours, and luxury cruises. Choose the right doorway, travel and hardship decoupled, and become a pleasant journey.
Looking back at the 1982 World Cup in Spain, the play-off match between China and New Zealand is still fresh in our minds! At that time, the Chinese men's soccer team almost dominated the World Cup stage, but stopped due to inexperience and tactical errors. Although the form of sports is not abundant nowadays, soccer is deeply popular. I remember that I work for the Wujing Chemical Factory, not only has a soccer team, workshop two secretaries also organized young employees in their spare time to use the factory's technical school five-a-side soccer field to play football. In one game, I scored two goals. This not only exercises the body, but also adds to the joy, soccer is also therefore deeply rooted in people's hearts. "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river", however, the passage of time, China's soccer career seems to be still in the "east of the river" wandering.
Since the 1986 FIFA World Cup in Mexico, every time we watch a game, we end up being unhappy. Although the Chinese men's soccer team's friendly matches, commercial matches, invitational tournaments, but in the key battle is always a little bit of luck - "black three minutes", that is, "time is running out. " Coaches change, and we spend our time in front of the TV. Sometimes, when I see a soccer ball about to go out of bounds, I can't help but reach out and try to help it, only to draw my wife's concern.
At the recent World Cup in Qatar, I, as a "pseudo-fan", was once again caught up in the frenzy of soccer. From the opening ceremony to the opening game, every day in front of the TV to watch live soccer, especially Saudi Arabia versus Argentina, Japan versus Germany, Asian teams and the World Cup champions of the competition, from the backward to equalize, and then to the final reversal of the tense excitement, so that people can not sleep. The exciting moments are so exhilarating that you have to rely on the review function to relive the excitement the next day.
Although the Chinese men's soccer team is absent from this year's World Cup, there are Chinese elements everywhere that make us feel deeply involved!
Later, I learned that Qatar, with an area of more than 10,000 square kilometers, is equivalent to Hefei in China. After investing heavily in hosting the World Cup, only three subways were built, breaking the history of Qatar without a subway. Two of them were designed and built by Chinese companies. More shocking is that the Qatar World Cup mascots, souvenirs, soft furnishings, lighting, flags, Hercules Cup jewelry and pillows, etc., are from "Made in Yiwu". China also constructed the World Cup's main stadium, the Lucerne Stadium. Because of the dryness of Qatar, water resources are precious. It is very challenging to build a mega reservoir deep in the desert. In order to meet the demand for drinking water during the World Cup, China participated in the construction of the Qatar Water Supply Project. Each reservoir has a capacity of 500,000 cubic meters and can provide drinking water for 2 million people per day, making it the largest single reservoir in the world. No wonder some netizens chortled, "Although the Chinese team did not participate, but the Chinese elements are everywhere." Unfortunately, China's soccer team failed to participate, but for the strength of China's design and manufacturing in the World Cup show, gratifying and proud.
As the grand blueprint for building a strong sports nation gradually unfolds, sports are becoming a way of life for people. I believe that in the future, we will see the Chinese men's soccer team on the stage of the World Cup. At that time, we can proudly say: "Traveling without hardship, watching football without anger."
