Chapter 851: Small, First in the Group?

"Tang Tang Qiuwang!"

"Tang Tang Qiuwang!"

"GOAT!"

"GOAT!"

With two assists and one goal to secure the MVP award again, the fans in the stadium shouted "GOAT" in perfect unison.

You can shout "TYGOAT" at a Manchester United match, but if you shout that at a Chinese national team game...

To be honest, it's a bit of showing off.

However, looking closely, today's Chinese team truly has the capital to show off.

As of now in this World Cup, the Chinese national team maintains a 100% win rate!

It feels hard to believe, but the Chinese players sliding on their knees and making the three-stripe gesture on the field are telling you that everything you see on TV is real!

"Ah!!!"

Bang!

Kicking open the locker room door, Tang Ye rushed in and kicked away a mineral water bottle lying on the floor: "Damn!!"

"Haha!"

"Awesome!!!"

"Two consecutive wins!"

Zhang Zhang Yuning roared as he entered too: "Two consecutive wins, holy shit, doesn't this mean we've qualified early?"

What Zhang Zhang Yuning offered was actually a question, but no one answered him yet because the players' minds were filled only with the victory just achieved.

"Phew..."

Exhaling deeply, Tang Ye sat on the bench, placing both hands on his head.

The master now felt like he was dreaming, because the events that had unfolded over the past few days were all too unreal.

"Tang Ye!"

Feng Feng Xiaoting came over to embrace Tang Ye, slapping the latter's shoulder hard with his right hand: "Haha, did you ever imagine it would be like this?"

"To be honest, I didn't."

Tang Ye raised both hands: "Two consecutive wins, holy hell."

"Are we top of the group now?"

Only after Tang Ye posed this question did the attention of the players in the room get drawn over.

"Six points definitely means top of the group."

Wei Wei Shihao, sitting next to Tang Ye, said: "There are only two matches so far, damn it; if we win both, we're guaranteed first place, top of the group no matter which group it is."

"Haha, awesome!"

Tang Ye pushed Wei Wei Shihao.

When analyzing the situation, Wei Wei Shihao hadn't taken the factor of "goal difference" into account.

Of course, it didn't matter, because the score of this match was 3:0, causing the Chinese team's goal difference to skyrocket by three, bringing the total to four.

A goal difference of four after two matches is already incredibly exaggerated in a tournament like the World Cup, where strong teams gather.

"What about Argentina and Germany? Can Germany beat Argentina?"

"Who cares if they win or lose; anyway, we have six points."

The Chinese players in the locker room were already hyped up, showing no intention of paying any attention to the other teams in their group.

【66666, three goals and a clean sheet, bro, where the hell has this taken me?】

【What attacking midfielder, what defensive midfielder, none are as good as my commanding midfielder! So this is the power of command, GG Bond!】

【We've made it to the heavens, bro, did Brother Tang Zhengxiong bet on this? That's 25 million!】

【Two consecutive wins in the World Cup group stage; I just looked at the standings and thought I was playing FIFA, lol, the Chinese national team is really ruthless this year.】

【Are there any fans at the scene? Shouldn't you go up and kowtow to my Tang Tang Qiuwang? Watching this livestream, I really want to kneel down myself.】

"As you can see, we have secured consecutive victories."

In the press conference room, Escrivá could hardly hide the smile at the corner of his mouth: "I know that after the draw results came out, we faced a lot of doubts, but back then the matches hadn't started yet, so we couldn't say anything."

"Argentina, Wales, and Germany... hmm, they are certainly good teams, very good teams. But facts prove that we are not bad either."

Pausing for a moment, the Spaniard continued his unfinished thought: "In fact, judging from the situation in the past two matches, we might even be better than them."

"After all, as you should have seen, it was us who won the matches."

Click click!

"Ferran, under your leadership, the Chinese team achieved their first-ever World Cup clean sheet; can this explain your reason for leaving Dortmund to join China back then?"

"Hmm... to a certain extent, yes."

With his hand on the table, Escrivá answered the reporter's question while thinking.

The team's results were simply too good, which allowed the head coach of the Chinese national team to speak rather casually.

"I feel that the Chinese team and Dortmund are similar to a certain extent, so I believed that if I came to the Chinese team, I would achieve great things."

"Looking at it now, that is indeed the case."

Escrivá nodded: "Of course, this is more because I have enough confidence in the players of the Chinese team; no matter what, the players of a team are always the most important part of a team."

"I believe in the players of the Chinese team; even before I came here, I knew how excellent they were."

"Hmm... as you have seen, during my time as a coach in La Liga and Fan Fan Dejia, I encountered quite a few Chinese players, and they never disappointed me. Whether it was Lei or Zhang, it was the same; they were all outstanding, which gave me the idea of becoming the coach of the Chinese national team."

Escrivá spread his hands: "Haha, perhaps Chinese people just have a talent for playing football."

Click-clack, click-clack!

First, a string of two consecutive victories to prove his coaching ability; then, just as everyone was marveling at Escrivá's prowess, the Spanish coach stuck out his tongue and began licking again.

It was all praise for his own team's players, yet for some reason, when the words came from Ferran's mouth, they carried a strange sensation, as if Chinese players were inherently superior to those of other nations.

Dongqiu Di Match Report: Two Consecutive Wins!!!!! Tang Ye with two assists and one goal, Zhang Zhang Yuning and Wang Wang Shenchao scoring; in the second round of the group stage, the National Football Team defeated Wales 3:0, breaking the team's World Cup historical record. (842,630 comments)

Editor-in-Chief of the "Munich Evening Post": Reiterating that Escrivá harbors pro-China biases, yet from a purely footballing perspective, the series of measures he implemented within the Chinese national team were appropriate.

Reporter for "The 11": I am disappointed by Escrivá's pro-China behavior; Germany and Spain possess players just as outstanding as China's.
