The outcome of the match quickly spread to the ears of every fan. On the training ground of the Tang Guo team, everyone learned about it during their break.
Because of this, the coaching staff of the Tang Guo team even held a short meeting to discuss the final score of the match and the specific events and details that occurred during the game.
Faced with such a result, the first reaction of everyone was undoubtedly a sense of terror, which was the most normal reaction any sane person could have.
However, those fans who watched the entire match, whether they were in the stands at the stadium or saw the whole process through live broadcast on the big screen, were deeply shocked. Their sense of terror and pressure was no less than those who only saw the result.
After this match, public opinion once again underwent a massive shift. Everyone knew that the next opponent for the Samba Corps was the dark horse Tang Guo team.
After just defeating Morocco, dubbed the dark horse of Africa, how much chance did they have against the Tang Guo team? Previously, this question might have been debatable, but now, there was no room for doubt.
The Samba Corps would undoubtedly win; this was indisputable.
Even many Tang Guo fans, after watching this match, suddenly switched their allegiance. It wasn't that they didn't love their country, but they felt that facing a team that seemed to have no weaknesses, it was almost a fantasy to continue winning. They were not emotional, they were rational.
Cao Baiming, being the first in the team to know the result of the match, naturally informed everyone during the break, and thus they were able to learn about it.
Despite this, what he had to do was still to boost everyone's morale and absolutely not let his teammates retreat at the last moment.
In his opinion, the Samba Corps was indeed terrifying, and this was a fact. However, it was also undeniable that they themselves were strong.
If one simply looked at the most straightforward and crude statistic, goal difference, the Samba Corps indeed had an advantage of five goals over the Tang Guo team.
But this might only be because the opponent they faced in the quarter-finals, Morocco, was much weaker than the opponent we faced, the Croatian team. This could be considered a matter of luck.
If we set these things aside, then we still had some chances of winning, and we must not lack confidence at this moment.
Cao Baiming said a series of inspiring words at this moment, and for a moment, his entire being exuded a leadership aura that even Maradona, if he were alive, would have been ashamed of.
A few minutes later, they saw Li Gang walking towards the field with several members of the coaching team.
As expected, they also had something to say about the outcome of today's match.
The result of this match naturally conveyed two main facts to everyone. The first was that the opponent in the next match was definitively determined, not Morocco but the Samba Corps. The second was that this Samba Corps was not an easy opponent to bully; in fact, they could be said to have no weaknesses.
Li Gang's expression was not very pleasant, appearing to be troubled by this matter, and the stone that was weighing on his mind had not yet been completely resolved.
He gathered everyone together to discuss the outcome that the coaching team and the team's management had jointly reached.
Undoubtedly, the purpose of gathering all the players together this time was to discuss how to deal with this situation, how to face this reality, and how to contend with this seemingly flawless Samba Corps.
In reality, it was only "seemingly" flawless; there were probably no truly flawless teams in the world. Therefore, as long as they searched diligently, they could still find some points to exploit and turn into their advantage.
This was the direction they were working towards, and they had already made some progress.
The offense of the Samba Corps fundamentally relied on their ball control. They detested teams that could keep the ball firmly at their feet.
If the "Alien" Ronaldo were to receive as little possession as Cristiano Ronaldo did in the previous match, he would also go mad and be unable to contribute anything.
Even the "Alien" would be reduced to an ordinary human.
Such a feat was easier said than done, but at least they had a direction.
Cao Baiming found some long-cherished potions. Undoubtedly, to achieve this, they at least needed to find ways to give their teammates some enhancement; relying solely on himself to control the ball would be too demanding.
At this moment, the system points had unknowingly accumulated to over 3 million again. He could use these points to purchase golden top-tier talent skill cards or upgrade attribute points, although upgrading attribute points now was very uneconomical.
However, one question that had always lingered in Cao Baiming's mind remained unanswered: the World Cup had passed for so long, and yet not a single decent system mission had appeared. Did the World Cup really not deserve a mission?
Apart from the 500,000 points awarded for advancing to the next league, there was really nothing else.
At this moment, how he wished he could conjure a card that could provide tactical support for the entire team, such as enhancing everyone's ball control ability.
Since such a thing had not yet appeared, it was better to train diligently and improve through training. This was the most fundamental way for ordinary people to improve.
If he hadn't had this system, this would have been the first thing any normal person would have thought of.
To conduct possession-based training, everyone must possess strong fundamental skills and sufficient teamwork and awareness. However, in terms of the first point, the players of Tang Guo were somewhat lacking.
On the training ground of the Tang Guo team, everyone was still practicing their basic skills.
If this were to spread and other teams were to see it, they would probably laugh out loud. It was indeed quite comical for a team in the semi-finals to not have solid fundamental skills.
But at this moment, everyone was very serious, and it was gratifying to see that they could improve to an unbelievable level in just two days.
On the field, the players of the Tang Guo team all had determined looks in their eyes. They had come this far, and the passion they held in their hearts was unparalleled.
