meet in a violent battle
united as one (idiom); united in one's thoughts
After the 3-1 victory against Syria, the national football team finally tasted the joy of victory after a long time. The news of the victory quickly overshadowed the full swing of the Europa League and topped the hot search list; the official social media accounts of the national football team finally raised their eyebrows and opened the interactive function; fans celebrated the hard-won victory in a unique way; and in the locker room after the match, the chairman of the Association of Football Association, Mr. Chen Xuyuan, changed from the usual seriousness and cheered together with the players.
However, from the inability to move from Suzhou to the United Arab Emirates before the match, to the discordant voices about Coach Li Tie and many players before the Forty-Four match, the national football team has endured tremendous external pressure during this half-month period. And this time with four consecutive victories into the final 12, undoubtedly for China's soccer in the cold winter lit a bonfire.
At the same time in the celebration of victory, fans have also begun to appear a voice: with the current strength of the national football team although into the 12 strong, but from an objective point of view, the impact of the World Cup is still more difficult, so full access to the 12 strong is not of practical significance. This point of view, many people have also expressed their agreement.
Admittedly, whether it is Japan or South Korea, we have to admit that the level of soccer in these neighboring countries has surpassed us by too much. All our efforts are aimed at catching up with the advanced, but we are also well aware that we cannot do it overnight.
But the fact is that soccer is not a game of extremes, especially for the national team. In my opinion, every progress of the national soccer team is the best nourishment for the national soccer team. 20 years ago, when the national soccer team entered the World Cup, no matter in the city or countryside, in the streets or alleys, countless fans wearing our jerseys and holding the national flag cheered and jumped for joy. This is a kind of national pride from the heart, but also the national football team is by far the most popular stage in the masses. I wonder how many parents decided to send their children to learn soccer at this moment, and I wonder how many children aspire to play soccer at this moment. Maybe not everyone can become Wu Lei in the future, but as long as one more person loves soccer, the future of the national soccer team will have more hope.
Therefore, we hope that the national soccer team can continue to maintain this state and will to fight in the 12 strong matches, and prepare for the tournament as if it were a World Cup against the top teams in Asia. Of course, we will always harbor that small but great dream.
"Even if the enemy is outnumbered, you must show your sword."
