On the afternoon of June 11, the Chinese national team was stationed in the World Cup base in Brazil.
According to the pre-match arrangements, the China base is routinely open to the public today, from the afternoon to 20 o'clock in the evening, which attracted more than 200 media reporters from all over the world to the scene, making this remote small town in the state of São Paulo suddenly become Very lively.
Especially in the routine press conference after training in the evening, the press conference hall that can only accommodate 150 people at the scene, but broke into more than 300 media in one brain, which immediately blocked the scene.
They have come from Europe, America, the Middle East, Africa and Asia. The Chinese media have the most reporters. Even the national TV station's broadcast trucks drove directly to the training base and live broadcasted the press conference.
Captain Zheng Zhihe, the number one star Yang Yang, as the player's representative, accompanied coach Quiros to the press conference.
When media reporters from afar saw Yang Yang coming out, there was a burst of warm applause from the audience, and many media were excited, because this represents a long-term worry about whether Yang Yang will be like Falcao. The debate about the absence of the World Cup can now be completely over.
The entire press conference was almost centered around Yang Yang, and more than 300 media from all over the world came to Yang Yang. Their most concern was Yang Yang ’s left shoulder injury.
Head coach Queros said on behalf of the team that Yang Yang's left shoulder injury is no longer a problem, and he can participate in the game at any time.
"In fact, when we played the last warm-up match a week ago, he had already received permission to play, but at that time we chose to let him rest for the sake of stability, because his physical fitness was still a bit problematic. "
Quiros said, "I am very happy to hear this news, because he is our most important player, all of us need him, need him to lead our team to every game of the World Cup, we are eager to play more here More games. "
If you want to play more games, you will naturally need to continue to advance.
National team captain Zheng Zhi explained the current situation of the team on behalf of the national team. For the concerns of the outside world, the performance of the three warm-up games was not particularly good. Zheng Zhi said it was not a problem.
"In fact, our opponents in the three warm-up matches are very strong. Costa Rica participated in the finals of this World Cup. Such opponents are equivalent to a preview. It helps us familiarize with the pace and intensity of the World Cup in advance."
Zheng Zhi said that many people saw two zero-to-zero draws, but the national football team saw three unbeaten wins and two draws. "Our mentality is very clear, compared with other World Cup teams. We have no strength advantage, so we need to put ourselves in a weak position, we need stability and defense. "
"While unbeaten in three games, we haven't missed a goal, which is undoubtedly very difficult, but very happy, we did."
Zheng Zhi's answer also won a round of applause, especially the Chinese media.
For this national team, domestic fans have high hopes, and it is precisely the highest leader who came to Brazil according to the original plan. Although he received the invitation of the Brazilian president to participate in the opening ceremony of the World Cup, the leader did not attend the opening ceremony, but will instead Appeared in China's first group match.
At the same time, it is the most crucial game, that is, the game against Côte d'Ivoire.
Colombia is superior in strength. Côte d’ Ivoire and Greece are closer to the Chinese team. Everyone believes that if the Chinese team wants to qualify from the group stage, they must grab at least four points in Côte d’ Ivoire and Greece.
This is difficult, but it must be done.
The top leader personally attended the battle, which undoubtedly also greatly improved the morale of the national team players. Therefore, in the recent period, the national team's training atmosphere and enthusiasm for the game have increased, and everyone is actively adjusting their own status and physical fitness.
...
The focus of the press conference was Yang Yang.
Media reporters relayed some previous interviews with Côte d’ Ivoire. For example, Ivorian ’s number one star Drogba said,
Our offense is sharper and we are confident that we can go further.

Yang Yang smiled and shook his head after hearing this, "He said so every time."
Everyone is also funny for a while. Yang Yang and Drogba have played in the Premier League. They are familiar with each other and have good relations. And Drogba's words are obviously cheering for himself and his teammates because the Chinese team is here. But Yang Yang, the world's top scorer.
Côte d’ Ivoire is sure that their offense can be sharper than the Chinese team?
Yang Yang said that Côte d’ Ivoire is a very difficult opponent.
"I know that many people will say that their results in the past two World Cups are not very satisfactory, but do n’t forget, in the past two World Cups, they were first divided into a group with Argentina and the Netherlands, and then with Brazil and Portugal. In one group, both of them met strong opponents. "
"I know Drogba, Yaya Toure and Colo Toure. They are all players of great strength. This may be their last World Cup. They are eager to leave something for their motherland, so They will work harder. "
"From the spiritual level, I think we need to devote more attention and energy than Côte d'Ivoire. From the technical and tactical level, I think we should try to freeze Drogba and suppress Yaya in the midfield. Toure, don't give him any freedom, I know him too well. "
In an interview with the media, Yaya Touré stated that Yang Yang was his lead brother during the Ajax period. He has paid great respect to Yang Yang throughout his life, and now, Yang Yang has also confirmed Yaya Tour through this remark. Lei's strength.
On the whole, Yang Yang feels that the Chinese team still needs to be based on defense.
"Defensive counterattack is the magic weapon for us to defeat our opponents."
For the final result, Yang Yang was not willing to guess at first, but after repeated media inquiries, he thought that one to zero would be a more reasonable result.
"Of course, it will be us who score the goals!" Yang Yang laughed.

Regardless of showing weakness before the game or high-profile, regardless of the strength of the opponent, the preparation of the national team is still in an orderly manner.
Within the national team, the attitude of most people is relatively pragmatic, and many players are already veterans of the two World Cups, and their experience is relatively rich. It is clear that on this stage, the Chinese team is standing In what position.
Striving for the team to qualify, this is the top priority of the Chinese team.
If you want to qualify from the group, the first match in Côte d’ Ivoire will be very important, and even a game that will change the situation, because the African team is the most direct competitor on the Chinese team's qualifying path.
In the warm-up game, the performance of the Chinese team can not be considered bad, but it is not good, Queros is mainly adjusting the defense.
After coming to Brazil, the national team began to invest in the final preparations, with the focus on studying opponents, especially Côte d’ Ivoire.
The personal technical characteristics of Drogba and Gervinho and others were even edited by the national team into videos and slow-motion short films, which were put into the team meeting for very detailed research and analysis, and then targeted in the training. drill.
For Côte d’ Ivoire, Queiroz highlighted one point, that is, the central role of Yaya Touré in the midfield, the speed of Drogba, Gervinho and Carao.
"In Ivory Coast's tactics, they often return to the organization after the frontcourt offensive is frustrated, but at this time, their frontcourt offensive players often use their speed, suddenly accelerate to sprint forward, and then pass through Biography, it is very dangerous to strike directly behind the line of defense. "
Quiros has a lot of coaching experience and deep research on Côte d’ Ivoire. He reminded players that they must always be sober and rational, and pay attention to their opponents. It is best not to let them take the ball around the penalty area.
Once Côte d’ Ivoire hits the backcourt, it is necessary to force the whole team up and down to keep the pressure on Côte d’ Ivoire players and try to get the ball back in the shortest time.
Not only that, in this game of China against Côte d’ Ivoire, the referee is Enrique Osses from Chile. He is a famous madman. This is more for the weaker and defensive Chinese team. Unfavorable, Quiros repeatedly reminded the players to be careful and avoid getting cards.

C Ronaldo, where the Chinese team is located, also ignited the flames afterwards. Colombia defeated Greece three to zero in the first game, and Hames Rodriguez shined and became famous in the first battle.
