Live bar October 6 news Former international Shao Jiayi talked about the feeling of qualifying for the national football team in an interview, he said that his teammates at that time envied him for participating in the World Cup, and he also imagined participating in several more World Cups.
Shao Jiayi: "Talking about the Chinese team qualifying 20 years ago, it is still vivid for us who have witnessed it, and the memory is still fresh. We were all very excited and rushed to the stadium to cheer together. Milu didn't celebrate with us in particular at the time, he quickly returned to the lounge and was very calm. ”
"At that time, I was still very young, only 21 years old, and I thought that I had realized my dream of playing football since I was a child to play in the World Cup, and I had also realized the dream of generations of Chinese footballers. To be honest, I was still thinking about the 2006 World Cup, the 10-year World Cup, the 14-year World Cup, and I was still calculating how many more games I could play? 20 years have passed, and it is precisely because we only had this successful experience, and I cherish this memory and experience very much. Now I often think back to where we did well at that time, and what good experience we could accumulate, which was very, very helpful to the development of Chinese football. ”
"After we qualified that year, there was no doubt about our influence on Chinese football, including myself. The qualifying of the World Cup has accelerated the process of professionalization of Chinese football, and has also made football deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, gained the support of many fans, and allowed many children to participate in it. I remember I went to Germany at the end of 2002 and when my teammates saw me and asked you were a World Cup player? I said yes, I played in the World Cup. Their expressions were very envious of the kind of eyes that looked at me, which I still remember. ”
"I think the stage of the World Cup is the highest stage for world football and for the world's football practitioners, and it is also the place that everyone yearns for the most. I hope that our national team can qualify again and make China's football environment better and better. I also wish Tetsuko and his team, although the first two games did not achieve the desired results. But I believe that as long as we are united, there is still a great opportunity to bless them and hope that they will perform better. ”
