Chapter 4 The Faith of the Strong
After a long flight, the Danish team was exhausted, including BT like Qin Tian. Some people have been sleeping since they got on the plane, and only a few people in the cabin looked relatively awake. Before everyone could recover, Michelle screamed loudly.
"Okay, everyone remember to wear a coat, especially before getting off the plane, if anyone does not wear a coat well and violates discipline, it will cause a cold, then I'm sorry, this trip to South Africa will be just a guest. I'm not joking, I'm reiterating the probability issue again. If I can't stand it, I can go back to Copenhagen now."
Don’t blame Michelle for having a bad temper. A long journey has been enough to make him feel depressed, and his temper is inevitably bad. The weather in South Africa is obviously incomparable to Denmark. The easiest thing about unfamiliar places is that they are not adapted to the local climate, which leads to colds. Now they have a cold, and the problem is quite big.
So whether before or after arriving, every staff member of the Danish national team repeatedly emphasized the issue of keeping warm. He has a deep understanding of the cold. This time he didn't want to miss any World Cup game because of these problems, so he had already finished the dress up without reminding the coaches.
"Okay, those who haven't woken up, wake up soon. Young men, congratulations on your arrival safely first, rub your face, the plane is about to land soon, cheer up, there must be many fans and reporters outside, and the future World Cup champion cannot look like a sleepy look." Olson made a final end.
The little joke also made everyone laugh. The atmosphere in the cabin was relieved a lot because of Michelle's seriousness and a lot of sleepiness, and everyone gradually recovered their energy. Coach Olsen can be regarded as the fourth coach Qin Tian has contacted. This is a coach with principled but often can integrate into the heart with the players. Of course, he usually laughs most, which does not mean that he is a good person. Even Michelle is afraid of, which shows how terrible it is.
However, this is the coach needed by a team. It not only maintains enough majesty and conviction, but also does not make yourself and the players look too unfamiliar!
"It's really cold in this ghost weather." As soon as I walked out of the cabin, a chill came towards me. Everyone felt their hair stand up. Although the coaches repeatedly emphasized how bad the weather in South Africa was, this made the single-buyers who had been living in the north for a long time not be wary and pay attention, but they only had direct senses when they really came here.
Looking at the few people who were originally in the cabin who were laughing at those teammates who were dressed tightly, they were honestly shrank their heads and stopped talking. Olson and other coaches looked at each other and smiled. These guys were still stubborn until the end.
"Come on, everyone, show your heroic spirit in the cabin just now. You know, I heard more than one person saying that I am very not afraid of the cold, tsk tsk tsk." Michelle ridiculed, which attracted everyone's knowing smiles. The cold weather seemed to have been diluted a lot.
"The Denmark is here." Not far away, the reporter group who had been waiting for a long time was also in the crowd. After shouting, they immediately rushed over. You should know that although the Denmark team is not the favorite to win the World Cup this year, there is no way. Who told them that there is a 100 million player in the team? Therefore, it is better to be precise to pay attention to Qin Tian's performance in his virgin World Cup than to say that these reporters are paying attention to the Denmark team.
Although there were not many reporters gathered when traditional world-strong teams such as Brazil, Argentina, England, the Netherlands, Germany, etc. arrived, the reporters at the scene were crowded with people, flashing desperately, countless long spears and short cannons were lit up, and tall and large cameramen were waiting for it.
The first one to come out was of course Thomasson, the captain of the Denmark team. His short and capable hairstyle and typical Nordic face also attracted the attention of many reporters. Countless microphones reached Thomasson's mouth, "Can you talk about what the Denmark's goal is in this World Cup?"
Thomason always smiled seriously, "Every opponent in the World Cup is not easy to deal with. We don't have any specific goals. All we have to do is to play every game as best as possible."
This official answer obviously cannot satisfy the reporters. Although everyone thinks what he said is correct, no matter from any aspect, the Denmark is not a favorite to win the championship. The first thing they need to ensure is to qualify in the group. However, from the group situation, it is obviously not that easy to do this. Don’t forget that the Dutch team is their old enemy, the Dutch team, the master of offensive football.
The reporters' subsequent questions made Thomasson deal with the past one by one with the same tone. As the captain of the team, there are many aspects to consider. Whatever you can say and what you can't say, you have to think about it before you can say it. What's more, Thomasson knew that this was his last World Cup, and no one knew how much he cared about this. No matter what, Thomasson asked him to be cautious from what he said!
With the help of the airport security guard, Thomason got out of the crowd and then waited for the team to come up and meet in a specific area designated by the airport for the team. Of course, Thomason still happily agreed to the fans' request for taking photos and autographs, and satisfied them one by one with a smile.
Then the big guys of the Denmark team, Romerdal, Karen Bell, goalkeeper Sorensen and Glenshare, and of course, the two most popular new stars besides Qin Tian, Bentner and Christian Eriksen. However, the very shy Eriksen hurriedly answered a question and then escaped. Bentner was favored by the media because the most important reason was that Bentner was also a big mouth, and if he wanted to get the heavy information, he could dig out of his mouth.
After praising Bentner for his handsome hairstyle today, he saw that he looked in a good mood, the reporters immediately played several sensitive questions, but they disappointed the reporters. Once the team was involved, Bentner immediately stopped and answered seriously, "We are very weak. All we have to do is to play every game carefully. Yes, we came here with a learning attitude."
This disappointed the reporters. It seemed that Bentner must have been seriously warned by the coach and was not allowed to talk nonsense. There was no way, and the reporters could only watch Bentner walk over with the help of security guards. After Bentner, other single-buyers were in a hurry. Even if those who were interviewed, they were just perfunctory or formulaic answers. They didn't look like a team ranked first in the European qualifiers.
The reporters were very dissatisfied. They got up early and stood in the cold wind for a long time. All the recording pens were recorded with unnutrition. This was not what they wanted, nor was the selling point that the newspaper hoped. At this time, a burst of shouts broke out from the crowd, and the fans also rushed to the passage, because the current number one star of the Denmark team, Qin Tian, finally left the cabin.
Qin Tian was carrying a shoulder bag, still with familiar short hair. He looked very energetic, clean and neat, and still had a faint smile on his face. However, when Qin Tian appeared, the flashes on the scene almost formed the brightest piece so far, and countless fans began to scream their biggest screams.
Although Qin Tian felt physical fatigue after the long flight, Qin Tian still maintained the most polite smile in front of the camera and was ready to accept sea-like interviews from the reporters.
"How do you feel when you play in the World Cup for the first time, Qin?"
"Is this question too early to ask? After all, I haven't set foot on the stadium in South Africa yet."
"Do you have any predictions about the prospects of Denmark in this World Cup?"
"You should ask Mr. Olson for this question. I, this... it's better to keep silent. Otherwise, if the boss doesn't let me play, it's your fault."
A knowing laugh came from the reporter group, "But you better tell me a little, your captain said something, you can say something too." Some people still don't give up.
"Haha, don't mess with me. I believe our captain told you that we will try our best to play every game." There was another burst of laughter below, and Qin Tian shook his hand, "What I want to say is that we will work hard to play the group stage first. After all, we must take a learning attitude."
The reporters were a little anxious and did not make any comments from the Danish players. However, some reporters were very enlightened. "Qin, Messi of Argentina had arrived earlier. He expressed his hope to meet your Denmark team in the knockout stage, and Messi expressed his confidence in winning the championship. So what do you think?"
Qin Tian had known that Messi had arrived in South Africa today, and the two of them had called the phone the day before yesterday. They were the second team to come to South Africa, and the Denmark team was already the 10th team. Speaking of which, it was a bit strange this time. This World Cup was held on the African continent for the first time, and the teams participating in the main competition came relatively earlier than in the previous World Cup. Perhaps everyone wanted to adapt in advance to avoid excessive disturbances.
When Qin Tian heard the reporter mention Messi, he thought for a while, "Our teams are in two and a half zones. If we can meet, we must be a little further back. However, when it comes to that time, I will do my best..." Qin Tian smiled, "Okay, teammates are waiting for me, see you on the stadium."
At this time, the reporters at the scene were already very excited. No matter whether Qin Tian left or not, Qin Tian left very firmly. The team needs to keep a low profile, but it does not mean that the team does not have the confidence to win. If there is not even this confidence, why do you come to the World Cup?
The World Cup is the stage for the strong!
