Vol 5 Chapter 119: Opening France

The opening match of the 2018 World Cup in Russia came to an end with the crazy cry of 80,000 fans, but it was only a bit difficult for the Australian fans of the visiting team. The home team Russia won an unexpected 5: 0 victory at Luzhniki Stadium and achieved a good start.
The first match of Group C between China and France was on the third match day of the World Cup. Before that, there were three more matches.
Egypt vs Uruguay, Morocco vs Iran, Portugal vs Spain.
The three games on the second World Cup match day are carried out one after the other, and the four matches on the third match day seize the time for step-by-step training to prepare for the first World Cup match tomorrow.
In fact, the team's style of play has already taken shape, stepping on the field is more like players enjoying the atmosphere of the World Cup in advance and relaxing.
Chinese team coach Lippi took captain Tang Zheng to the stadium press conference hall to participate in a regular press conference before the game.
Prior to this, the French team had participated in the regular press conference before the game, so the reporters who interviewed the Chinese team had already thought about the problem.
A reporter from the French media looked at coach Lippi and asked a relatively harmonious question: "The first group match of the World Cup will start at one o'clock tomorrow afternoon. I don't know what attitude Mr. Marcello Lippi takes towards that game. What about? "
Lippi smiled, and then said in a low-key way: "The French team is a world-class strong team, when I was the head coach of the Italian national team, it is even more so now, Anthony Gretzman, Paul Pogba, Ki Liam Bappe, Osman Dembele, Corentin Tolisso, Rafael Varane, etc. are all stars in the world football, and we only have ... Don. "
Speaking of which, Lippi turned to look at Tang Zheng.
All reporters in the press conference hall looked at Tang Zheng, Tang Zheng also smiled, and then shrugged his shoulders, expressing helplessness to coach Lippi.
The Chinese media reporters who were present secretly gave thumbs up to Lippi, which is a typical weakness. If Deshang and his players underestimate the enemy, the Chinese team is really likely to be upset at the Kazan Stadium.
Not to mention victory, at least there is a great chance of a draw.
After about two seconds, Lippi continued: "Tomorrow's game, our goal is a draw."
Jiang is still old and spicy. No one of the reporters present didn't know that Lippi's nickname is 'Silver Fox', so the questions are normal and the atmosphere of the press conference is very harmonious.
Silver Fox Lippi's weak hand was in place, and Tang Zheng, who was subsequently interviewed, was not willing to show his weakness, and carried out his weakness to the end.
Although the overall strength of the Chinese team is not as weak as expected, it is often necessary to keep a low profile.
There are clouds, soldiers, and strange ways. Therefore, it is not possible to show what you can, but not to show it when you use it.
Showing weakness is a tactic.
None of the reporters at the scene were fuel-efficient lamps. Naturally, they could hear Lippi and Tang Zheng's weakness, but they were not broken, because they also wanted to see if the French team would hook, and then broke out a lot of unpopular.
The odds previously offered by the bookmakers were relatively impressive. The French team won 1: 1.56, tied 1: 2.98 and lost 1: 4.25.
The odds for France to win a ball are 1: 1.95, the tie is 1: 3.28, and the lose is 1: 3.86.
Odds seem to make people undecided, but it also means that the dealer is not sure which side the game is inclined to.
The regular press conference of the Chinese team ended before the match between Egypt and Uruguay. Salah, who was injured in the Champions League final, failed to recover enough to play, but the overall performance of the Egyptian team was excellent, and the score was 0: 0. Persevere to stoppage time, but Atletico Madrid defender Jimenez's powerful header kicked the football into the Egyptian team's goal, lore game!
The match between Morocco and Iran did not pay attention to the Chinese team. Because of the lack of viewing in this game, the obvious empty seats on the stands also proved that the lack of attention in this game caused the Russian local fans to watch the game weakly.
The result was surprising. The Iranian team won the match with the Moroccan player Pohaduz ’s own goal.
The latest game attracted the attention of Tang Zheng and Chinese players. Portugal faced Spain at the Fisht Olympic Stadium. This Iberian Derby attracted the attention of fans all over the world.
There is no doubt that Spain's overall strength is stronger than Portugal, but Portugal led by Cristiano Ronaldo has won the European Cup in France two years ago, and the personal abilities of Portuguese players are not inferior to Spanish players.
Especially when David Silva and Iniesta are getting older, it is not so easy for Spain to win Portugal.
as predicted!
Only four minutes into the opening, Nacho tripped Cristiano Ronaldo in the penalty area. When the referee Rocchi made a decisive penalty, Cristiano Ronaldo easily hit the club teammate De Gea.
No one expected that Portugal would lead Spain in less than five minutes from the start of the game. Tang Zheng sitting in front of the TV watching the game tilted Erlang's legs and said playfully, "This game is interesting."
"How interesting?" Lu Haoqi asked beside him.
"If there is no accident, many will be born in this game."
Tang Zheng pinched his chin, confident.
"Isn't it possible? Many experts say it will be a ball." Said.
"Are you going to buy the periphery? Is it so clear?" It is possible to wink at Gao Junyi, the defender in the first match of the World Cup group match.
"Go, go, how is it possible!"
"You don't believe it, the Portuguese defenders are old and young, and scoring too early is not a good thing for them." Tang Zheng's voice changed: "But I am thinking that C Ronaldo in good condition may again It is even possible to score a hat trick by scoring a goal. "
"No way?"
This is the goalkeeper Yan Junling puzzled.
"Otherwise, how about we bet?"
Tang Zheng looked at Yan Junling playfully.
Yan Junling thinks that Cristiano Ronaldo is 33 years old this year, and has been in a sluggish state in the past 2017-2018 season, but seeing Tang Zheng full of confidence, some dare not gamble.
At this time, teammates began to encourage,
"What are you afraid of? Don't want you to contribute backyard flowers."
"Cristiano Ronaldo was rushed back to Manchester United by the captain, and also expected him to break out in this game?"
"Dare you gamble? I dare not gamble with the captain!"
……
With the encouragement of his teammates, Yan Junling gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, what do you say to bet."
"Small gambling is good, big gambling hurts, you lose and invite us all to eat after the World Cup, I lose and invite everyone to eat, how?"
Tang Zheng looked around all his teammates.
"it is good!"
"One word is for you!"
The atmosphere of watching the ball got up in the bet between Tang Zheng and Yan Junling, but everyone did not make a lot of noise, but focused on the game.
The match, as Tang Zheng guessed, Diego Costa's approach to the foul took the ball to help Spain equalize the score in the 24th minute, but the excellent form of Cristiano Ronaldo helped the Portuguese team to make progress again before the game entered the halftime. The ball, his long shot in the front of the penalty area, led the club teammate De Gea to appear as a butterman, overtaking the score again.
The two-minute injury stoppage time ended and the game entered a halftime break. With Cristiano Ronaldo's second score, Portugal took a 2-1 lead into the locker room.
At the same time, Chinese players watching the live broadcast of the game in the hotel do not look at Tang Zheng deeply.
Previously Tang Zheng said that there will be many goals in Portugal and Spain. In the last half of the match, there were three goals. If this continues, there may be goals in the second half.
And Tang Zheng also predicted that Cristiano Ronaldo might perform a hat-trick, and now scored two goals in the past halftime, and another goal in the second half is also very likely.
So, Yan Junling cheated cheekily: "Captain, can you surrender? Lose half of the surrender, is it okay?"
"Of course not!" Tang Zheng's Cristiano Ronaldo was not very confident in the hat trick, but he scored two goals in the first half, and it is very likely that he will score another goal in the second half. Can indirectly reduce the pressure on everyone, naturally it cannot be stopped.
Even if he finally loses, Tang Zheng doesn't care. He now has more than nine figures in his account. Where would he care about the money for a meal?
In the second half, Diego Costa also scored twice to help Spain tie the score again.
Three minutes later, Nacho made up for the effort, and a four-seater non-stop ball volley volley helped Portugal overtake the score in one fell swoop.
The content of the next game is easy to guess. The Spanish midfielders use the super pass ability to control the end of the game. They intend to cook the frog in warm water and expand the score. Even if the score cannot be expanded, the existing score can be maintained to the whole game. competition is over.
But Portuguese captain Cristiano Ronaldo did not agree. He used a direct free kick to help the national team equalize the score in the 88th minute. De Gea, who appeared as a butterman in this game, did not respond.
And Cristiano Ronaldo's goal was also the last goal of the match, and finally Portugal and Spain scored 3: 3 with one point each.
However, no one expected the end of the first round of Group B, and the Iranian team that was not optimistic was surprisingly ranked first in the group.
The end of the match between Portugal and Spain means the end of the second match day of the 2018 World Cup in Russia. The first match of Group C, which Chinese fans and French fans are concerned about, will be played at 1:00 pm local time in Russia, which is 6:00 pm Beijing time.
At the end of the game, at eleven o'clock in the evening, the players returned to their respective rooms, seized the time to rest, and prepared for the group match to be held at one o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the Chinese team ate breakfast at the hotel where they stayed. After an hour of rest, they performed aerobic exercise in the gym for about half an hour, allowing players to feel the strength and condition of their bodies.
Around 11 o'clock, the Chinese team boarded the bus prepared by the organizing committee. Those Chinese fans who did not buy the tickets came to the Chinese team to stay around the hotel early to cheer for the Chinese team in advance.
