This pure love for football is also sublimated to their love for their family and country.

  Chinanews.com, Beijing, December 16 (Reporter Wang Hao) The waves of the Persian Gulf, like thousands of years ago, beat the coast.

The stars and the lights of Doha complement each other. Between the movements, the sorrows and joys of human beings seem small, but it is a rare temperature.

  Four years of reincarnation football feast, now only the last two games left.

But Morocco, which continued to create miracles along the way, fell before the final decisive battle.

  This ending is a bit like a slam dunk, and the bloody story may not have a happy ending.

At this point in the World Cup, it is gradually no longer the excitement that everyone made fun of at the opening, but more sad.

  A strong mask can imprison the fragile bones, but it cannot imprison the beating heart. This is the story of the Korean Sun Xingmin.

Shortly after the orbital fracture, he appeared in Qatar wearing a black mask, which looked a bit like Louis Koo's mask.

On December 2, local time, the third round of Group H of the 2022 Qatar World Cup group match between South Korea (red) and Portugal was held at the Education City Stadium.

In the end, the South Korean team defeated the Portuguese team 2:1, and the two teams advanced to the round of 16 together.

  But Sun Xingmin is not chic, how can he be chic?

For players, masks are like shackles.

When Sun Xingmin took off his mask several times and ran in his hand in the last life-and-death battle of the group stage, he was even a little embarrassed.

  So after South Korea lost almost powerless to Brazil in the knockout round, no one wanted to criticize him.

Who would have thought that Neymar, who danced and celebrated happily in front of Sun Xingmin, would also shed tears on the field in the next round.

  This is not the first time Neymar has shed tears in Qatar.

In the first round of the group stage, Neymar suffered a foul and was injured. When receiving treatment on the field, he cried.

At that time, I was probably very scared. What I was afraid of was not the injury itself, but missing the game because of it.

It's a pity that he couldn't touch what he longed for so much in the end.

On December 9, local time, the quarter-finals of the Qatar World Cup were held. The match between the favorites Brazil and the Plaid team Croatia officially started at the Education City Stadium.

In the end, the Croatian team defeated the Brazilian team in a penalty shootout and advanced to the top four of the World Cup.

  There are subtle differences between people, even if they are of the same kind.

The unwillingness to bear the greatest hope of the team but suffer from injuries, the hopelessness of catching up with the brilliance created by the gods of the predecessors but the helplessness of being unable to recover, is the way Sun Xingmin and Neymar were finally frozen in the World Cup in Qatar.

  This will be a unique experience in their careers, and it will also be an unchangeable imprint in the memory of countless fans.

  In 1989, Priscilla Chan's "Song of a Thousand Thousand Que" became popular in the streets and alleys.

The late 1980s and early 1990s was the golden age of Cantonese music. Countless golden songs were released, and many people still recycle them to express their nostalgic emotions.

And the players who were born during that time are just now at the age of the last dance in the World Cup.

  "In the future, even if there are thousands of songs floating on my road in the distance. In the future, even if there are thousands of evening stars, they will be brighter than the moon tonight. They are not as beautiful as this night, and they must not make me appreciate it more, because you are with me tonight. Sing." Priscilla Chan sang that kind of mood that was once in the sea.

  Four years is not short in a player's career, and not long in life.

Some people will be separated in four years, and some will be reunited in four years.

  How will Ronaldo remember Qatar?

His career has been separated by four years, and this may be the last one.

Compared with when he first appeared on the court, he still looks strong and strong, but the traces of the years are always revealed inadvertently.

  He also used to be omnipotent on the court, but now he has to swallow his unwillingness to wait for the coach's call on the bench and become the team's backup plan.

In the end, when Portugal lost to Morocco, Ronaldo crying in a daze will become a comment for many people about "don't allow the world to see whiteheads".

When the final whistle sounded, Ronaldo covered his face and knelt in the opponent's penalty area.

At that moment, I believe that many people made the same action in front of the TV.

  Is this Ronaldo's best World Cup yet?

In the hearts of most fans, it should not be.

It is difficult to sum up Ronaldo's Qatar World Cup in one word. This is very similar to Messi. Even now, Messi still has the opportunity to chase the Hercules Cup.

  Too many emotions other than football have been poured into them. Some people regard them as youth, then the Qatar World Cup is a farewell to growth; some people regard them as eternal opponents, then the Qatar World Cup is the last battlefield.

  Mbappe, who will stand opposite Messi in the final, is it not?

Some people think that he is still an immature junior, while some people think that he is already his own youth.

On November 26, local time, in the life-and-death battle between Argentina and Mexico, Messi scored a goal to save the team in the 64th point of the second half.

After celebrating the goal with his teammates, Messi, who stood alone on the sidelines, blew a kiss in the direction of the audience.

Not far from him is a poster portrait of Maradona.

  No one is forever young, but someone is always young.

The thousands of evening stars in the future may still be bright, but they are not as good as the white moonlight in my heart now.

This white moonlight may be Sun Xingmin, Neymar, Messi, Ronaldo, or the person who stayed up with you to watch the game.

  Many years later, you and I will probably still think of the bright moon in the Persian Gulf, Messi and Ronaldo who laughed and cried under the moon, and you and she who once "sang with me".
