Looking back to October 7, 21 years ago, it was a glorious moment for Chinese soccer. On the field of Shenyang Wulihe, the national football team beat Oman by a narrow margin of 1-0 and successfully entered the final round of the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup. This moment not only remembered the glory of the national football team, but also became an eternal memory in the hearts of many players.
Time flies, and the years go by like a shuttle. Today, 78-year-old former coach Milutinovic reunited with his former disciples to celebrate the 21st anniversary of the national soccer team's appearance. At this cozy gathering, famous players such as Ma Mingyu, Sun Jihai, Zhao Junzhe, Li Tie, Fan Zhiyi, Su Maozhen, An Qi, Gao Yao, Li Xiaopeng, Au Chuliang, Li Ming and Qu Bo were all present.
Former international footballer Li Wei Feng was emotional on social media: "20 years ago today, the national football team had written a brilliant. 20 years later today, we meet again, this friendship is so precious. I am curious, who arranged the starting formation today? How come there is no place for me? Thanks to Coach Milu, thanks to the leadership, team and teammates of that year!"
In this party full of memories, a generation of soccer people once again ignited the passion in their hearts and cheered for the future of the national soccer team.
