Chapter 173 Why We Fight
The elevator door slowly opened, and Su Ju looked at the packed crowd and exclaimed, "Fuck, is there still room?"

"Come on, let's see who is the last straw." Fu Xiaofeng hooked his finger at the three people outside the door.

Liu Jinxuan obeyed Brother Xiaofeng's call and went up first. The elevator did not sound the alarm.

Fu Xiaofeng smiled at him and said, "Congratulations on passing the test safely."

Then he looked at Chi Zhen, Su Ju and Yue Hang outside the door and said, "Come on, continue."

Chi Zhen smiled helplessly and shook his head: "Forget it, forget it, you go first, the three of us will wait for other elevators."

"Okay." Fu Xiaofeng pressed the elevator door closing button.

The car door slowly closes and the fully loaded car descends.

Everyone started to continue the topic they were discussing:

What exactly is the purpose of the mobilization meeting that Captain Wang suddenly convened?
Someone in the elevator asked, "Qin An, didn't you ask Captain Wang?"

Qin An in the corner shook his head: "What's the point of asking? We'll know in a minute anyway."

"Hey, aren't you curious?"

"I'm curious. But I want to save the surprise for last."

"You really do know something, otherwise why would you dare to say it's a surprise?"

"If it's not a surprise, could it be a shock?"

Feng Qiyuan raised his lips when he heard this conversation:

It might be really scary!

When he saw the group announcement before, he had more or less guessed what Captain Wang was going to do.

The word "mobilization meeting" reminded him of the scene after the loss to Tyne, when Captain Wang found him to exchange jerseys.

The words that Captain Wang said to him at that time still echo in his mind and he thinks about them often.

To be honest, he has actually regretted it since he agreed to Brother Wang and took over the jersey.

Because trying to make yourself stronger is really difficult and painful.

He had regretted more than once why he had accepted the jersey handed to him by Captain Wang on impulse...

He even suspected that Captain Wang had given him some kind of drug that made him so crazy - was there some drug on his jersey?

So when did he become firm in his conviction and stop wavering?

It was after seeing Captain Wang, at the age of 38, score six goals and provide three assists in a single game against Sofia United.

He was completely conquered by Captain Wang.

Others just thought that Captain Wang was awesome, but Feng Qiyuan was shocked beyond words.

Because he knew the reason behind Captain Wang's amazing performance:
For the sake of his dreams and goals, Captain Wang unexpectedly burst out with such tremendous energy that in one game he created records that countless people could never achieve in their lifetime!
In Feng Qiyuan's view, every goal scored by Captain Wang seemed to be repeating to himself:

Look, Feng Qiyuan, I can do it, so why do you hesitate and give up?
After that game, Feng Qiyuan decided to put aside all selfish thoughts and focus on following Captain Wang.

No matter whether you can succeed in the end, just burn yourself out and do it.

Even the 38-year-old Captain Wang is fighting his hardest. How can I, a 26-year-old myself, feel at ease watching Captain Wang fighting alone?

Feng Qiyuan finds it fun to look at his teammates who are still in the dark with the mentality of a veteran.

He was ready to enjoy everyone's expressions at the meeting!
When he thought of this, the corners of his mouth curled up even higher.

※※※

After watching the elevator go down, Chi Zhen pressed the elevator button next to him.

Su Ju asked Yue Hang beside him: "What do you think Captain Wang wants to say by suddenly calling everyone to a meeting?"

Yue Hang shook his head: "How would I know? You might as well ask Qin An instead of asking me."

"I asked, but he didn't know either," Su Ju said.

Yue Hang was amused: "You actually asked!"

Then he turned his head and looked at Chi Zhen: "What do you think, Zhen?"

"I think it has something to do with the match against North Korea. After all, if we beat North Korea, we can advance two rounds in advance. Captain Wang should unify his thoughts to avoid being distracted and causing a setback..."

Chi Zhen expressed his guess.

"Is that it? Why not just tell us before the game? Is there a need to hold a special meeting in advance?" Yue Hang couldn't understand.

"What else could it be?" Su Ju looked up and asked him, "You are an expert and have a good opinion. Tell me."

Yue Hang really tilted his head, frowned, and began to think deeply.

It wasn't until the elevator arrived with a ding that he shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"Tsk. What a waste of expression. Let's go. No matter what the reason is, we'll know soon enough."

After Su Ju finished speaking, the elevator door opened. His teammates were still inside, but there were fewer people than before. At least with the three of them, the elevator wouldn't be overloaded.

"Oh, are you all going to a meeting?" Su Ju greeted everyone with a smile after entering.

"Yeah, aren't you?"

"Hey... Hey, what is this 'mobilization meeting' about?"

"Who knows?"

"Don't guess, you'll know in a moment, right?"

Amid the discussions, the elevator door closed and carried a group of national team players with questions in their minds to the third floor of the hotel.

※※※

Conference Room No. 4 was not big. When all 35 players of the Chinese national team were here, those who came later couldn't even get a chair to sit down and could only stand against the wall.

Wang Lie had naturally arrived a long time ago, but he did not sit down. Instead, he gave his chair to his teammates who came later.

He doesn't need to sit.

Deputy Captain Chu Yu, who was sitting next to him, checked the number of people. When he saw that everyone had arrived, he said to Wang Lie, "Everyone is here."

So Wang Lie raised his arm to indicate that he wanted to speak.

The originally noisy small meeting room suddenly became quiet, and everyone turned their eyes to him, waiting for him to speak, just like in the national team's locker room.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Wang Lie did not ramble on, but got straight to the point:
"Thank you all for coming to this impromptu mobilization meeting. Today's meeting has only one purpose, which is to mobilize for next year's World Cup."

Su Ju nudged Chi Zhen with his elbow, covered his mouth and lowered his voice: "Yes. You said that Captain Wang wanted to avoid underestimating the enemy when playing against North Korea, but Captain Wang went a step further and started thinking about next year's World Cup."

Chi Zhen ignored him and just continued to look at Wang Lie.

"But isn't it a little early to mobilize for the World Cup now?" Su Ju turned his head and asked Yue Hang on the other side.

Yue Hang covered his mouth and whispered, "It's not too early to prepare for a rainy day. Captain Wang, there's nothing wrong with this..."

Feng Qiyuan straightened his back and stared at Wang Lie, with a shining light in his eyes. It was unclear whether it was the light from the ceiling light of the conference room reflected in his eyes, or the light coming from his eyes themselves.

Without paying attention to his teammates' reactions, Wang Lie continued:
"If nothing unexpected happens, we can qualify for the World Cup in advance after the match against North Korea. 2006 was the first time that the Chinese team participated in the World Cup. Since then, the Chinese team has only missed the World Cup once. Entering the World Cup has become a common thing for all of us...but getting used to it is not a good thing."

Chu Yu next to him frowned slightly. He felt that what Wang Lie said was inappropriate.

Now everyone is really used to the Chinese team entering the World Cup finals. Chinese fans and media are already looking forward to the World Cup finals even before the Asian qualifiers have just started.

After they actually qualified, the media coverage and celebrations were far less intense than when the Chinese team successfully qualified for the first few times.

Our players certainly won't cry tears of joy after qualifying in the qualifiers, and it's even more impossible for them to burst into tears when they hear the national anthem playing in the World Cup.

But this does not mean that everyone is not eager to participate in the World Cup, nor does it mean that the desire to win glory for the country is not strong enough.

It's really just a habit.

Getting used to it means that our football level has improved and our strength has become stronger. Isn't this a good thing?

Wang Lie's words not only made Chu Yu frown, but also caused the whispers in the conference room to become louder.

Apparently, there were many people who shared Chu Yu's idea.

Fu Xiaofeng did not discuss with anyone, but just lowered his head and curled his lips:

Ah, that’s right, the familiar taste, the familiar recipe is here…it’s this taste, dad’s taste!
Wang Lie raised his hand and raised his voice slightly, drowning out the discussions in the conference room:

"…Because 'habit' can turn into 'laziness'. I would like to ask everyone a question…"

He raised his right index finger:
“Why are we participating in the World Cup?”

The meeting room, which had been a bit noisy before, suddenly became much quieter.

Wang Lie asked again: "Why are we participating in the World Cup? Is it just to participate in the World Cup?"

This time the conference room was noisy again, even louder than before, with almost everyone whispering and discussing among themselves.

Liu Jinxuan in the crowd stared with wide eyes, not understanding the meaning of Captain Wang's question.

Participating in the World Cup just for the sake of participating in the World Cup?

Yes, isn’t it for participating in the World Cup?
Being able to participate in the World Cup is the dream and pursuit of every professional player, and it can even be said to be the ultimate pursuit.

For example, I dream of participating in the World Cup.

Is there anything wrong with this?
Huh? It seems something is not right...

Liu Jinxuan soon realized that he seemed to have fallen into a misconception.

Participating in the World Cup is the goal, but what should we do now that we have achieved it?

Enjoying the World Cup?

Obviously this shouldn't be the case.

No one thinks that they are going to the World Cup to enjoy themselves.

Because everyone wants to win.

No one would be satisfied with just playing three group matches and then going home, right?
He recalled that he was not yet eligible to be selected for the national team, and thought about what it was like to watch the World Cup as a fan - he hoped that the Chinese team could advance to the knockout stage, and it would be even better if they could reach the quarterfinals again.

Yes, how can there be no goal?

In every World Cup in recent years, haven’t our media and the Internet been talking about “quarterfinals” and “quarterfinals”?

Returning to the quarterfinals should be the goal of the Chinese team in the World Cup!
Feeling that he had found the answer, Liu Jinxuan looked up at Wang Lie, wanting to answer the question.

Fu Xiaofeng sensed the restlessness of the young man next to him and quickly glanced at him, wanting to remind him to keep a low profile.

At the same time, Wang Lie also looked over.

After he asked the question, he glanced at his teammates in the conference room, and then noticed a flash of light in the corner of his eye.

He looked in the direction of the light and saw the team's newcomer Liu Jinxuan with his mouth slightly open.

The other person was looking at him, his eyes sparkling.

So he raised his hand and pointed at Liu Jinxuan: "Xiao Liu, go ahead."

After hearing what Wang Lie said, Fu Xiaofeng lowered his head.

After all, young people are impulsive...

Wang Lie's call made everyone in the conference room turn their eyes to Liu Jinxuan.

For a moment, he even felt that the gazes of his national team predecessors seemed to have turned into real objects and were touching his body.

It was as if a gust of cold wind had come, calming him down from his excitement, and then a trace of worry emerged in his mind:
There were a whole room of people, and none of them said anything. But I, the newcomer, stood up, making myself appear more capable than my predecessors. Would that be bad?

Just when Liu Jinxuan was hesitating, he saw Captain Wang's gaze again, and there seemed to be... encouragement in his eyes?
Hey, anyway, I just got a trial card. I don’t even know if I can stay in the national team after this training camp, so what else do I have to worry about?

The young man was once again filled with passion, and he threw all the distracting thoughts in his mind to the back of his mind. He looked at Captain Wang and said his answer to the question:

“I think our goal going into the World Cup should be to reach the quarterfinals again.”

Hearing Liu Jinxuan say this, Fu Xiaofeng, who had been keeping his head down, breathed a sigh of relief for him - this was an answer that everyone expected, and it was not out of the ordinary for Liu Jinxuan, a newcomer to the national team, to say such a thing.

Not only did he think so, but most of the international players in the conference room thought so too.

Someone simply expressed his agreement out loud: "That's right..."

"Yes, the top eight..."

The reason why everyone reacted in this way is that the Chinese team reached the quarterfinals in the 2022 World Cup on home soil, creating the best result in the history of Chinese football.

Before that, no one had any idea of ​​how the Chinese team should perform on the World Cup stage. Many people were already satisfied with being able to participate in the World Cup finals - at that time, many people's goal was really just to participate in the World Cup - and many people also hoped that the Chinese team could make it to the knockout stage, but no one could tell what the specific results would be.

The 2022 World Cup in China has set an example for all those who care about Chinese football and given a specific answer:
World Cup quarterfinals.

After this World Cup, although some people arrogantly shouted slogans like "win the World Cup", the recognized goal of the World Cup by the vast majority of people is still to reach the quarterfinals.

However, since then, the Chinese team has never made it to the quarterfinals again - which highlights the value of this goal.

In a sense, the top eight should be the goal that every international player in this Chinese team strives for. Chu Yu nodded repeatedly, affirming Liu Jinxuan's answer.

Based on the cognition, courage and wisdom represented by this answer, Chu Yu felt that this young man would have a bright future.

※※※

When the national team head coach He Zhenyong opened the door, he saw his assistant coach Cai Bokang standing alone at the door with a puzzled look on his face.

He asked curiously, "Are you alone? Where's Chi Zhen?"

Cai Bokang shook his head: "I didn't find it. I don't know where it went..."

"Didn't you ask the others? Isn't Su Ju always with him?"

"I didn't find Su Ju either... Not only Su Ju, I didn't find any players..."

He Zhenyong's eyes widened: "Not a single person was found?!"

"What's wrong?" The voice of national team leader Shen Dongsheng came from behind He Zhenyong.

"Old He asked me to find Chi Zhen and invite him to discuss the selection of the core tactical personnel in person..." Cai Bokang explained to the team leader, "But he was not in his room. Not only him, but all the players on the national team were not in their rooms..."

Shen Dongsheng guessed: "Maybe he went to the billiard room to play somewhere?"

He Zhenyong nodded in agreement.

Cai Bokang shook his head: "I looked everywhere, in the billiard room, the gym, and even the bar. I didn't see them."

He Zhenyong asked again: "Did they go out together?"

Cai Bokang had predicted that he would think this way: "I also went to the door to ask the hotel security, but I didn't see them leave."

"This..." He Zhenyong couldn't think of any other reason, so he turned around and looked at the team leader Shen Dongsheng.

Shen Dongsheng looked at Cai Bokang and said, "Send a message to Wang Lie and Chu Yu and ask them what's going on."

"I sent it, but neither of them replied."

Even Shen Dongsheng frowned now. After thinking for a while, he said to Cai Bokang, "Give Wang Lie a call and try."

All the players were neither in their rooms nor in the bar or entertainment center. There was no news from them at all, as if they had disappeared from this world.

This is a very serious situation for the team as a whole.

As the team leader, he must find out the situation immediately. If anything goes wrong, he will be held responsible.

For example... a group of people avoided the security guards and sneaked out of the hotel - although the possibility was too low, Shen Dongsheng did not dare and could not rule out this possibility.

Cai Bokang also understood the strangeness and urgency of the current situation, so he immediately took out his mobile phone, found Wang Lie's number in the address book, and dialed it, while he also turned on the speakerphone.

The call was not picked up immediately, and the dial tone kept repeating in the silence between the three people.

"The cell phone is not with you?" He Zhenyong frowned and guessed.

"It may also be that the mute function is turned on." Shen Dongsheng provided another idea.

"In what situations do we need to turn on mute?" Cai Bokang asked the two. No one answered him, and the three of them just looked at each other.

Cai Bokang was about to hang up and redial, but the call was suddenly connected.

Wang Lie's voice came from the other side: "Director Cai?"

※※※

Wang Lie's cell phone was on the table, and he didn't notice the incoming call message that popped up on the screen.

It was Chu Yu who was sitting next to him who reminded him: "Phone..."

Only then did Wang Lie realize that Coach Cai was calling him.

He didn't shy away from asking, and answered the phone in front of all his teammates: "Director Cai?"

Cai Bokang's voice sounded a little anxious, and he asked a series of questions: "What's going on, Wang Lie? Why is there no one on the team? Do you know what's going on? I sent you a message and you didn't reply..."

Wang Lie glanced at his teammates in the conference room and explained, "Well, we are having an impromptu meeting. Cai Zhi, what do you want to talk to me about?"

※※※

"An impromptu meeting?"

Cai Bokang looked up at Shen Dongsheng and He Zhenyong. The two were also looking at him, and they all saw surprise on each other's faces.

"What meeting?" He Zhenyong couldn't help but ask.

"Coach He is here too?" Wang Lie asked after hearing He Zhenyong's voice.

"All three of us are here." This time it was the team leader Shen Dongsheng who answered him.

Then they heard Wang Lie chuckle, "I was planning to report to you later, but now is a good time to sync with you. Cai pointed out that you should not hang up the phone and put it on speakerphone."

※※※

After Wang Lie finished speaking, he also turned on the speakerphone and put the phone back on the table.

Then he looked at his teammates and noticed that Liu Jinxuan was still standing there.

The young man had completely sobered up from his initial impulse, and he felt a little uncomfortable standing there accepting everyone's "attention". But Captain Wang didn't say anything, so he didn't know whether he should sit down or not.

Wang Lie waved to him: "Please sit down first, Xiao Liu."

Liu Jinxuan felt as if he had been pardoned and sat down quickly.

Seeing Liu Jinxuan sitting down, Wang Lie continued, "The top eight. Speaking of the top eight, I remembered something... Do you know how the top eight came about?"

A group of people looked at each other, not understanding why their captain asked this.

Wasn’t it because of the home game, the unity of all the players, and the concerted efforts, coupled with the strong support of the fans, that we finally created such a miracle?

This is the best result of the Chinese team in the World Cup. At the beginning, the media did a lot of in-depth research on this topic, and various documentaries, reportages, and online jokes emerged one after another.

Even those who did not experience that era personally have learned about the historic moments in Chinese football through these re-creations.

Clips from various official and private documentaries can still be found everywhere on the Internet. This is no secret.

Fortunately, Wang Lie didn’t really ask everyone to answer the question this time, otherwise it would be difficult to answer, because this matter is a long story...

Wang Lie continued: "If you have watched the World Cup documentary, you should know that before the World Cup started, the team had already decided to make a breakthrough and create history in that World Cup."

Someone nodded slightly in agreement.

This is mentioned in almost every documentary and memoir about that World Cup quarterfinals.

"I know some people will think that this is just a way of flattering the team after it was successful - treating accidental success as an inevitable result. But I want to say that this is not an accidental success, this is an inevitable result. I am not saying this to show off, I am just telling the truth because I was in the team at the time."

In the current national team, only Wang Lie participated in the local World Cup fifteen years ago.

Even Chu Yu was only a player of the national youth team at that time and was not selected for the national team. Not to mention other younger players, Liu Jinxuan, who is now 19 years old, was only four years old at that time. In the Chongshan dialect, he was still a "green groove baby" - the groove on his buttocks was blue.

So now Wang Lie is telling everyone about his own experiences as a historical eyewitness.

Wang Lie continued: "Twelve years before the 2022 World Cup, the Chinese team failed to qualify in the 2010 World Cup. In 2022, we also qualified because of our status as the host country.

"Being the host country is a huge advantage. After all, we are in a familiar place, fighting in front of our hometown folks. The whole country is behind us. We know that if we want to make history, this is the best opportunity. If we miss it, we don't know when we will have another chance... So before the World Cup, everyone had a meeting together... Oh, similar to today."

Wang Lie said this and pointed at everyone present.

"Everyone at the meeting decided not to find any reasons or excuses, to try their best and create history for Chinese football. Four years ago, we made it to the knockout stage of the World Cup, so this time we have to go one step further based on the last 16. The quarterfinals was the goal set at the time, and in the end we did it.

"Why were we able to do it? Because we didn't take it for granted that we could participate in the World Cup - two World Cups ago, the Chinese team missed the 2010 World Cup - and no one would think about what would happen in four years. Everyone thought that this might be the only chance for them to make history in their careers, and they must not waste it."

※※※

Hearing Wang Lie say this, Shen Dongsheng turned his head and looked at another eyewitness at the time, Cai Bokang, the then captain of the Chinese national team, and looked at him for confirmation.

Cai Bokang held the phone farther away and lowered his voice, saying, "Wang Lie is right. That's what we thought at the time. Being the host is indeed an opportunity to achieve good results - of course, I mean good results in an upright manner, not the so-called 'good results' that the Korean team achieved by bribing the referees..."

"The quarterfinals is a reasonable goal. After all, the Chinese team made it to the round of 16 in the last tournament," commented head coach He Zhenyong.

Cai Bokang laughed when he heard this: "In fact, there was a debate at the meeting about what specific goal to set. The top eight was just the goal that most people agreed on in the end. Wang Lie had a more radical goal."

"What is it?" Shen Dongsheng asked.

Cai Bokang said: "Locals won the championship."

Shen Dongsheng and He Zhenyong were both stunned.

This is something that is not mentioned in various documentaries or memoirs.

"Everyone, including me, thought that this guy was just talking nonsense, so we didn't seriously discuss his goal at all," Cai Bokang said with a smile.

"Thinking about it now, that was the first time I heard Wang Lie clearly state that he wanted to win the World Cup. It was much earlier than when he later announced the goal of winning the championship and was bombarded by the media and ridiculed by public opinion..."

※※※

"...Until now, the quarterfinals have been the best result for the Chinese team in the World Cup. Every time we are eliminated in the World Cup, the media and fans will regret that we have not been able to reach the quarterfinals again, as if the quarterfinals are our goal in participating in the World Cup. But I have some different opinions on this."

Wang Lie shook his head and said:
"I don't think reaching the quarterfinals should be our goal. How can the results we have already achieved become our goal? In other words, if our goal in participating in the World Cup is just to catch up with the national team from 15 years ago, what's the point? It only shows that we have not made any progress based on the foundation of our predecessors."

Wang Lie's words were a bit harsh, and everyone in the meeting room couldn't help but whisper.

Everyone was trying to figure out what their captain had said.

The more Liu Jinxuan pondered, the more he felt that what Captain Wang said made sense:
Yes. Past achievements should not represent the future. Otherwise, why should we work hard? Anyway, no matter what we do, we will just catch up with the achievements of our predecessors...

As latecomers, we should certainly surpass the achievements of our predecessors, only then can we be considered "progress"!

So Captain Wang was right. It was indeed my fault to set the “top eight” as the goal!
If the quarterfinals is not the goal, then what should the goal be?
The top four?
It seems that up to now, no Asian team has been able to reach the World Cup semi-finals - the South Korean team did it, but their results were cancelled because they bribed the referee, so their World Cup semi-finals do not count.

If we think in this way, the top four can really be the goal we strive for!

As he thought about it, a light flashed in Liu Jinxuan's eyes again.

So he raised his head again and looked excitedly at Captain Wang in front of him.

He felt that he had guessed Captain Wang's thoughts this time.

With the form that Captain Wang has shown in the last half of the season, coupled with Brother Chi, Brother Xiaofeng, and so many players who are starting players in European clubs...it doesn't seem incredible to aim for the top four.

By then, it will become the first Asian team to reach the semi-finals of the World Cup, and completely wash away the "stain" that South Korea has brought to Asian football!
So this time it must be right, the goal should be... the World Cup semi-finals!

Fu Xiaofeng noticed the movements of Liu Jinxuan beside him. He didn't even need to turn his head to know that this kid must have been aroused by Wang Lie's words just now.

Still young...

To him, Wang Lie's words were obviously forced nonsense.

Who says that previous achievements cannot be used as current goals?

What does the achievements of our predecessors have to do with us?

England has won the World Cup once. Isn't it still the goal to win the championship every time they participate in the World Cup?
According to his logic, shouldn't England be clamoring to win the championship?

I can't bear to think about it carefully. It's just because he is the captain and the boss, no one dares to refute him face to face...

※※※

Because they were chatting just now, Shen Dongsheng suspected that he didn't hear Wang Lie's words clearly: "What is he talking about? The goal for next year's World Cup is the quarterfinals?"

Cai Bokang said: "He said the quarterfinals is not the goal."

Shen Dongsheng was amused. He wanted to say that he was so arrogant that even the top eight was not his goal.

But he quickly recalled the story that Cai Bokang had just told him.

For Wang Lie, the top eight is really not his goal...

So he didn't complain.

Wang Lie's voice continued to come from the speaker of the mobile phone, seeming a little distant and illusory.

"...So I think we should set a specific goal for next year's World Cup..."

※※※

"...After we have a specific goal, we will work together to achieve it. In this way, everyone will know what to do in the World Cup. As the captain, I think it is my responsibility to set this goal for everyone. This is also my responsibility and obligation as the captain."

Wang Lie's words were very impolite, even a little "fatherly", but in the real meeting room, no one stood up to express opposition, saying, "What qualifications do you have to represent us?" Who told you that the captain should set the competition goals for the whole team?
Everyone just looked at him in silence. Now they just wanted to know what the goal the captain was talking about was?
Liu Jinxuan even made the shape of the number "four" with his mouth, as if he was waiting for the lottery draw.

Feng Qiyuan straightened up, with an expectant smile on his face, ready to welcome the captain's attack.

"It's actually very simple. We have one and only one goal to participate in the World Cup next year..."

When he said this, Wang Lie pretended to pause, and his eyes swept across the faces of almost every teammate - the reason why he said "almost every one" was because some people were looking down and their facial expressions could not be seen at all.

The pause was not long. He quickly scanned everyone and then said:
"Champion. Our goal next year is to win the World Cup!"

Fu Xiaofeng buried his head to hide his expression, only to feel as if a thunder exploded right above his head. He raised his head in fear and stared in amazement at the man whom he had not dared to look at before.

Liu Jinxuan beside him only said the beginning of the word "OK" and then stopped abruptly, because he realized that Captain Wang's goal and what he thought seemed to be... different?
Feng Qiyuan clenched his fists under the table:
Captain Wang finally said it out!

Come on, brothers, let’s roll together!
