Vol 4 Chapter 6: The first group match of the Chinese team

The international players sitting in Tang Zheng's room to watch the ball are Lu Liang, Hao Junmin, Wu Sanshi, Zheng Zhi, Gao Lin and Yan Junling, that is, the Chinese players with the starting field basically gather here.
In the entire national team, Tang Zheng's reputation is undoubtedly the loudest and one of the most powerful, and Tang Zheng's analysis is well-founded, so his teammates have benefited from listening.
In the second half of the game, the Brazil team, which has the advantage of home court, regained control of the game rhythm with its tenacious fighting spirit, and the No. 10 Neymar, who was hoped by the 200 million Brazilians, frequently made kills.
His outstanding foot skills were dazzling, so that as many as three Croatian players received a yellow card for this at the beginning of the second half.
In other words, in just five minutes, three Croatian players chose to foul in order to restrain Neymar's play.
But the Croatian defense is doing well, they effectively restrain one of Brazil's most threatening offensive points.
Until the game reached the sixty-ninth minute, Oscar passed a pass to Fred in the left rib. Croatian defender Lovren stepped forward to show a sensual pull, and Fred, who was mixed in the bachelor league league, fell to the ground. , The referee decisively sounded the whistle in his mouth, and then his right index finger pointed to the penalty spot.
"Oh-my-god !!!" Tang Zheng sitting in front of the TV heard the commentator exclaiming in full amazement: "Penalty! This is a great opportunity for the Brazilian team to equalize the score !!!"
Neymar stands in front of the penalty spot, he has all the potential to become a world superstar, so he withstood the huge pressure and kicked the ball to the goal.
2: 1
Brazil overtake the score!
Marcelo, who made the fatal mistake, hugged Neymar excitedly, because Neymar's scored twice to make his own goal into a bubble and no longer exist.
Tang Zheng smiled when he saw the broadcast, but he rarely saw Marcelo, his team favorite, have such a reaction.
The pressure from the World Cup oolong is definitely huge.
Neymar, who scored a goal, was also very excited because he set another record.
He scored an amazing 33 goals in 50 national team games, second only to Bailey 77 goals, Zico 66 goals, Ronaldo 62 goals, Romario 55 goals, Bebeto 39 goals, Rivaldo 34 The ball, tied with 33 goals Ronaldinho and Jalkinho, tied for seventh in the Brazilian team ’s history.
Neymar, who is only 22 years old, has not yet reached the peak of his career, which means that he still has a lot of room for growth in the future, so many Brazilian TV commentators are amazed by this.
He ... when will he be able to refresh the national team record set by Bailey?
The game restarted, the backward Croatia increased its offensive efforts, and the Brazilian team coached by Scolari properly recovered the formation.
This way, the Brazilian team played a quick counterattack at home.
Although the overall Brazilian national team is relatively mediocre, the back line has absolute strength.
Marcelo, Thiago Silva, Luis and Alves are all the main guards, they can attack and retreat.
Gustavo and Paulinho are not well-known, the game attitude and attention are quite concentrated, and it plays a significant role when Croatia strengthens the offense.
As a result, there was also an Oscar-locked victory goal in injury stoppage time.
The three-minute injury stoppage time had just arrived. When the referee blew his whistle, the Brazilian team finally relied on Neymar's second score and Oscar's locked victory to reverse Croatia 3-1 at home and achieved a World Cup start.

As the World Cup opener came to an end, the Chinese team's first group match at the Brazil World Cup is getting closer.
The World Cup group stage of the Chinese team against Côte d’ Ivoire is the sixth match of the Brazil World Cup. According to the first day of the opener except for the opening game, there will be three games every match day, that is, the first group stage of the Chinese team is in Brazil's World Cup morning match on the third match day.
The next day, the actual newspaper reports all over the world revolved around Brazil ’s 3-1 defeat of Croatia.
The creative opening ceremony also appeared on the headlines, but compared to the World Cup events that fans are more concerned about, the opening ceremony is basically negligible.
The major physical newspapers are also aware of this. There is not much coverage of the opening ceremony, and it is more about the competition itself.
However, there is not much reference value for the Chinese team, so the attention of the coach Lippi and the players is focused on the first stage of the group match against Côte d’ Ivoire.
Lippi, as the head coach, is quite satisfied with the team's mental appearance, especially Tang Zheng's competitive state.
As the Chinese team's first game of the World Cup is getting closer and closer, Tang Zheng's competitive state is getting better and better ...
It is not difficult to see that Tang Zheng is the type of big game player.
The higher the importance of the game, the better the performance.
This can also explain why Tang Zheng has become the best on the spot in the Champions League finals for two consecutive seasons, because he has a strong heart to pursue.
The brave is fearless, this is the reason!
Tang Zheng's outstanding competitive status is not only seen by Lippi and his coaching team, but also by the domestic and foreign media that pay attention to the preparation of the Chinese team.
In this regard, the domestic media of Côte d’ Ivoire and the domestic media of Greece feel a little bad, and they have published their personal opinions, asking the national team coach to send targeted defensive players to watch Tang Zheng, just like the 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League final. The whole game did not give Tang Zheng any chance.
At the same time, it also reminded that there should not be any relaxation of the attention, otherwise the situation of Atletico Madrid being injured in the stoppage time and stoppage time will happen to the national team.
Of course, in addition to the opener, the peak matchup on the second match day attracted the attention and speculation of the world's major media.
Spain vs Netherlands!
This pair of 2010 South Africa World Cup final opponents met in the first round of the 2014 Brazil World Cup group stage, which will certainly affect the final qualifying situation of Group b.
Chile is strong, and it is very likely to score three points against Australia in the first round. If Spain and the Netherlands have no way to win or lose in the first game, then the situation of the death group will become more chaotic.
Tang Zheng, the focus of the battle at the Xinshuiyuan Arena, watched with his national teammates in the hotel room after dinner. Although the results of the Spanish and Dutch teams were irrelevant to Group C, some teams themselves could be observed according to the game. problem.
It was found before the game that it was much better during and after the game.
really!
The peak confrontation between Group B of Spain and the Netherlands not only allows the Chinese team to see their own problems, but countless teams also see a problem that cannot be ignored.
Spain led the Netherlands with a 1-0 penalty kick from Diego Costa in the middle of the first half. Many fans believe that Spain is likely to win the game and then create a new record of winning the championship in four consecutive contests. Casillas will also break Buffon's World Cup record of 517 minutes without conceding.
However, dramatic results appeared.
Van Persie received a long pass near Blind's left midfield before the end of the first half. He flew in the penalty area and drove the ball into the dead end. Casillas did not respond. He watched the football fall into the net nest. The record of conceding stopped abruptly, staying at 476 minutes ...
In the eighth minute of the second half, Blinder attacked the ball from the left and Robben used his left foot to drop the ball perfectly in the penalty area. Then the right foot dunked the ball to the left, shook off the defending Pique, and then grab Complete a shot before Ramos blocked.
The football hits Ramos 'right foot that stretched out and refracted Casillas' ten fingers again.
Ten minutes later, Sneijder took a free kick on the left. The football drew a clear arc in the air. The attacking goalkeeper Casillas collided with Van Persie, but the referee Rizzoli did not blow the whistle. The defending defender Duffy hit the ball into the net.
Although the captain and Casillas roared loudly, he still did not let the referee Rizzoli change his decision.
Tang Zheng, who was sitting in front of the TV, also felt helpless for the club teammates. Now Spain is like a house leaking in the middle of the night and bad luck.
But his bad luck with Casillas hasn't ended yet. In the 75th minute, he took Ramos's back pass to stop the ball and had a little more power. Then he was cut off by Van Persie and hit the empty goal ...
Five minutes later, the Dutch team quickly counterattacked in the backcourt. Robben struck the ball in the middle of the circle and ran 60 meters to the right of the penalty area. He first shook off Casillas' center of gravity, and then used the center of gravity of the body to change the swing Open the blocking range of Casillas and hit the ball into Pique and Ramos to guard the gate ...
In just an hour, the Spaniard experienced heaven and hell.
The penalty kick led and the Netherlands scored five goals in a row.
No one knows why this is the case, but Tang Zheng sitting in front of the TV knows why ...
Spanish midfield control has declined greatly with the increase in age of Xavi and Xavi Alonso, so that the avant-garde line is difficult to take the ball to threaten the Dutch back line.
Of course, the most important thing is that the Spanish players are somewhat conceited, or the Spanish players have too much glory on their shoulders, and they do n’t know how to face the difficulties when facing adversity.
The Netherlands are different, they themselves are thinking about revenge, a shame for the World Cup final four years ago.
Before the game, Tang Zheng thought that the Netherlands might beat Spain, but never thought that the result would be like this.
Set the biggest score loss and the most goals conceded in the defending champion's first World Cup first group match ...
This record is a huge shame for Spanish players.
※※※
The first qualifying match for the World Cup between China and Côte d’ Ivoire took place on the third match day. On the same day, coach Lippi spurred the national team players while the media in the world were reporting the Spanish defeat in the Netherlands.
Lippi also needs to let the Chinese team in the second World Cup match know that they do not have any capital to underestimate their opponents, and must concentrate 100% of the game's attention, otherwise the losses of Croatia and Spain will appear on themselves!
This is the second time for the Chinese team to participate in the World Cup. Domestic fans have already been in a hurry. It happened that the game time is nine o'clock in Beijing time. This time period is a challenge for office workers, but it is not a problem.
As a true Chinese fan, work is only a minor issue, not a big deal.
The World Cup is held once every four years. God knows if there will be a Chinese team participating in the World Cup four years later?
Work is everywhere.
However, most conscientious companies will give fans and employees a convenience, and they can choose to take a rest on the Chinese team's World Cup match day.
So many fans can sit in front of the TV or computer to watch the first game of the Chinese team's second World Cup tour!
Many of these lovely fans even suffered from insomnia.
Twelve years of waiting is indeed too long.
The Chinese team stayed at the hotel is a five-star hotel in the center of Recife, just 9.8 kilometers from the Pernambuco Arena, but the Chinese team still took the bus to the venue two hours in advance.
Those Chinese fans who did not have tickets to the Pernambuco Arena chose to come to the Chinese team's hotel in Recife to cheer for the Chinese team in advance, hoping that the Chinese team, who has participated in the World Cup after twelve years, could break the embarrassing record .
For example, zero points and zero goals.
Of course, the overall strength of this Chinese team is now superb, and it can be called the strongest history of the Chinese men ’s football team, so it is inevitable to break the awkward record of zero goals and zero points. Under Zheng led at least the group qualify.
In other words, the Chinese team's high hopes for the passing score were fixed in the group qualifying.
That's why Tang Zheng gave the teammates who have good relations with the national team 'classes' during the reversal of the Croatian game.
It is precisely because of high hopes, so worried that teammates will be overwhelmed by pressure.
The Pernambuco State Arena can accommodate 46,160 people. Speaking of China, it also has some origins. The power generation system used by the stadium is provided by Chinese companies. UU Reading www.uukanshu. com is also the first photovoltaic power plant in Pernambuco.
When Chinese players appeared to warm up in the Pernambuco Arena, a huge deafening cheer sounded from the stands: "Aoaoaoao"
Tang Zheng and other teammates who had just stepped on the grass looked up. Most of the stadium was occupied by Chinese fans wearing uniform red t-shirts.
Looking up, he was magnificent.
In addition to Côte d’ Ivoire fans and neutral fans coming from afar, nearly 60% of the fans are wearing red t-shirts or jerseys, which means that 60% of the Pernambuco Arena is supporting the Chinese team!
The eighteen-year-old Sun Jingbo exclaimed subconsciously: "Is this ... our supporters?"
"Yes, they all support us!"
Tang Zheng looked at Sun Jingbo, the youngest member of the team, with his hands on his hips, and said enthusiastically.
As the first group match of the Chinese team's World Cup gets closer and closer, Tang Zheng's eyes shine, and he gradually feels that his own blood is slowly boiling.
Yes, it is boiling!
Not long ago, the Ivorian twenty-three roster players appeared on the court with physical coaches.
"Ooooo"
Suddenly, a huge deafening booing sounded over the Pernambuco State Arena.
Côte d'Ivoire players subconsciously stagnated, raised their brows, and some wonder why the stands booed so loudly.
They looked up and saw that all the Chinese fans wearing Sequoia seemed to realize something.
The well-informed Drogba couldn't help turning his head and looked at the Chinese player who was jogging.
That confident expression seemed to see myself in those days.
This game, hanging!
