Vol 6 Chapter 5: China's Death Group

This World Cup is the 21st World Cup football match and will be played on 12 stadiums in 11 cities in the Russian Federation. Ω 小 『说』 ┡
This is the World Cup held in Russia and the World Cup held in Eastern European countries. It is also the second World Cup held in Europe after the 2oo6 World Cup in Germany.
As in previous World Cups, there are no changes in the rules of the World Cup in Russia. There are still 32 teams participating in the finals. They will have 64 games to decide the final winner.
The Chinese team is one of the Asian teams. It is the second time in the history of Chinese football to enter the World Cup finals.
In the World Cup finals, China is still a young new member.
According to the grouping rules of the World Cup finals group, 32 teams are divided into four grades. The Chinese team is the fourth-ranked team of the last class. The opponents of the group are the Netherlands, Mexico and Brazil.
The strongest team in this group is Brazil.
Brazil is a transition of abundance of stars. Their historical record is extremely brilliant. They can be described as what they want. They are the leaders in the number of major cup championships. Brazil is known as the most famous and successful national football team in the world. They are the team that has won the most World Cup football championships. Brazil has reached the top 4 11 times and reached the final 5 times to win the championship. They have won 5 times in 1958, 1962, 197o, 1994 and 2oo2 years. World Cup champion.
In the 1958 World Cup final in Sweden, Brazil won the host team Sweden 5-2 and won the championship, becoming the first American team in history to win the World Cup in Europe. The Brazil team once reached the World Cup finals for three consecutive times in 1994-2oo2, and won two championships and one Asian record, creating football history.
In 197o, the Brazilian team was voted as the best team in world history by FIFA.
In addition to the World Cup, Brazil has won four championships in the Confederations Cup and is the team with the most UFC championships in the world. The Copa America has won eight times. Brazil is also the team with the most fans. .
Because the Brazilian national team has won all the awards related to men's football and has maintained various records and the Brazilian people's strong passion for football, the Samba country has also born countless superstars, which has been called the "football kingdom" by the world.
Among the four teams in Group e, the game has not yet started, and the qualifying of the Brazilian team is already stubborn.
The second strongest team in Group e is undoubtedly the Netherlands.
The Netherlands entered the World Cup finals as a second-class team, but they are definitely one of the top teams in the world. The Dutch football history is not as strong as the strong Brazilian team, but it is also a frequent visitor to every World Cup. The overall results are quite good.
In the 1970s, the Dutch generation of famous coach Michels brought the "full attack and full defense" tactics of the English coach Reynolds to the Dutch national team and hit the World Cup.
The Netherlands have won the European Championship in 1988 in history. In the 2ooo and 2oo8 European Championships, many exciting big score wins left a deep impression on people.
In the World Cup, the Dutch team has reached the final three times, but they all lost to the runner-up. In 1974 and 1978, they lost to West Germany and Argentina respectively in the finals. The 2o1o World Cup competed with Spain in the finals. They lost in overtime and lost by o-1.
In the 2o14 World Cup, the Dutch team led by coach Van Gaal drew with the Argentine team oo in the semi-finals. They were eliminated 2: 2 in the penalty shootout, unfortunately they did not reach the final; The Brazilian team won the third place.
From the perspective of historical record, it can be seen that the Dutch team's performance has been very good in recent years. Each time they are a strong contender for the championship.
This year's World Cup, the second most promising in Group e, is naturally the Netherlands.
In fact, in the eyes of most media, the situation in group e is too clear, and there is no need to study at all, because Brazil and the Netherlands are too strong, no matter which team is good, which team is bad, it is just The difference between the first and the second is nothing. As for the other two teams-Mexico and China, there is no hope at all.
Even the two teams that are considered 'completely hopeless', Mexico is much stronger than China. Mexico has won the Central North America and the Caribbean Gold Cup 7 times in history, the number is the first among all teams. , They are the football overlords in Central and North America.
This World Cup is the 16th World Cup that Mexico participated in. Even though the best result in the past was the quarter-finals of two local World Cups, the number and experience of entering the World Cup alone are not comparable to the Chinese team.
The four teams in group e, the Chinese team is undoubtedly the weakest.
In the history of the World Cup, the Chinese team has only participated in the World Cup of Korea and Japan once, without scoring a goal in three games, ranking second to last in the World Cup 32. This is because Saudi Arabia lost 8 to Germany in that year. The number of winning goals is too much negative, the Chinese team barely did not last.
This kind of football history is naturally hard to be optimistic about.
Some foreign media commented on the Chinese team and also said, "This is a team supported by striker Wang Qiuming. Some are similar to Ukraine, which owned Sheva a few years ago."
From the outside view, there is almost no suspense in group e, but for the Chinese team, no suspense is equivalent to entering the 'death group'. Even the domestic media are not optimistic that the Chinese team can qualify for the group. Their statement More is--
"The Chinese team's entry into the World Cup is to add some experience in competitions!"
"If the Chinese team can achieve a breakthrough of zero goals in the World Cup, it has been very successful!"
"Maybe the Chinese team hopes to win the next game, that is, against Mexico, as long as they can win this game, even if the group can not appear, it is enough to return with glory!"
"........."
In short, the Chinese team has little hope of qualifying.
In this case, after the Chinese team arrived in Moscow, there was not much foreign media to disturb, it is understandable.
In fact, there are not many foreign media that pay attention to the Chinese team. Some foreign journalists want to enter the Chinese team for interviews. They are not interested in the other players of the Chinese team. They only hope to interview a limited number of people-Wang Qiuming and Wang Xiaolei. The two people who have received attention all over the world, both of them are big stars, and the most eye-catching is Wan Sheng who is the head coach.
This is five years later, Wan Sheng once again led the team to participate in the game.
The history of Wansheng coaching is still vivid. Many people have remembered the name of Wansheng. The miracles he has created are remembered by many fans, especially the English fans. Their only European Cup trophy is With Wansheng, there will be more English journalists, hoping to interview Wansheng.
Wan Sheng ignored foreign media.
Different from opening up to domestic media, foreign media are only pursuing public opinion news. In the interest of news, they are not optimistic about the Chinese team and have no interest in the preparation of the Chinese team. Wansheng does not need them to propagate at all.
So after arriving in Moscow, the Chinese team only did low-key training.
With the arrival of a team, the Chinese team was quickly forgotten. In addition to the domestic media still reporting, it is difficult to see the wording of the Chinese team in the news of other countries.
Time passed quickly, and two days passed in an instant.
The opening ceremony of the World Cup was held at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow. This stadium is located in Moscow, Russia. It is the largest stadium in Russia with a total of 84745 seats. This stadium is a composition of the Luzhniki Olympic Sports Center. This stadium is called Lenin Stadium.
The weather in Moscow was very good that day, and the opening ceremony went smoothly.
The Chinese team all participated in the opening ceremony, and then watched the opening game between Russia and Ghana. The World Cup was held in the country. The morale of the Russian team was high. They competed with Ghana and scored the first goal in the 33rd minute ~ EbookFREE.me ~ After that, Ghana's performance became eye-catching. They continued to use their strong bodies to compete with Russian players. In the second half, 21 minutes, the Ghana team used the striker to swing well, turning the score into 1 to 1. .
The game ended 1-1.
After the opening game ended, Wan Sheng led the team away, and on the way he asked all the players, "What do you think is the gap between us and Russia and Ghana?"
The players were silent.
They thought about it for a long time, some said about technical strength, some said about overall swing, and some said about game experience, Wan Sheng silently shook his head, said, "I let you see not experience, not technology, but they participate in the game At that time, the spirit of daring to fight! "
"Did you see the second half? Ghana fights fiercely. They constantly collide with Russian players in order to be able to play their own advantage. African players are extremely strong and much stronger than whites. This is their advantage. They He used his advantage to keep Russia passive for a while, and then they scored. "
"This is a very correct choice! There is a saying," One skill is good, the other is short ", we have to do the same, use the overall advantage, hit the things in training, and our performance will be better then. And also hope to win ... "
With the end of the opening game of the World Cup, the atmosphere of the war has become stronger.
The Chinese team's game is on the third day, the opponent is the Dutch team, the two sides play in the Kazan Central Stadium.
The news cloth before the game will be very lively.
Journalists from various countries waited a long time, thanks to the reputation of Wan Sheng. He used to be the world ’s top football coach. Even if he laid down his teaching pointer for five years, it still has a considerable influence, compared with the Dutch coach Danny Bu Rand is much more famous.
