Soon the referee team came up from behind and said to the captains of both sides: "Ready to play, gentlemen!"

Yin Jun turned around and applauded his teammates: "It's on the field! It's on the field! Get up!"

The other Chinese players turned around to remind their teammates behind them and encouraged each other.Then the players from both sides took their little caddies, followed the referee team and their own captains, and stepped forward.

Neither team has appeared in the World Cup for the first time, but compared with China, which only advanced for the second time, the Swedish team is a regular visitor to the World Cup. Since its first participation in the World Cup in 1934, it has They have entered the World Cup finals for the 11th time.

During this period, they achieved brilliant results, won one runner-up, two third places, one No.4, two quarter-finals, one round of [-], and only failed to qualify for the group stage twice!
Just judging from the historical record, Sweden is definitely crushing the Chinese team!
It is precisely because of this that Sweden does not regard the Chinese team as a competitor at all. They are talking about how to compete with England for the first place in the group, so as to avoid the strong teams in other groups, and strive to go as far as possible in this World Cup. Far.

Although the historical record looks good, the last time the Swedish team entered the semi-finals was 12 years ago.Then they missed the 1998 World Cup in France, and four years ago in Korea and Japan, they only entered the round of [-].

………………

Players from both sides walked onto the pitch and stood in a row, led by the national flags of their respective countries.

The live broadcast reminded everyone that the national anthems of both teams will be played next.

The stadium quickly quieted down.

The Swedish national anthem was played first.The Swedish players seemed relatively calm, because for them, participating in the World Cup is nothing too new.

After the Swedish national anthem, there was a burst of applause and short cheers, and then the broadcast prompted: "The national anthem of the People's Republic of China will be played next!"

The cheers stopped abruptly, and there was silence in the stadium.

"Arise—those who will not be slaves!"

At this moment, the fans who watched the game in the stands of the Induna Park Stadium or in front of the domestic TVs and computers in the distance, all sang loudly like the players of the Chinese team on the field.

"Use our flesh and blood! Build our new Great Wall!"

"The Chinese nation has reached the most dangerous time!"

"Everyone was forced to let out a final roar—"

Over the Induna Park Stadium, there was a deafening roar.Those fans who rushed from far away China, those overseas Chinese and overseas students who were originally in Europe... poured their voices into the chorus.

"Get up! Get up!

stand up!

"

The broadcast camera scanned the coaching bench and the bench of the Chinese team in turn. Both the coaches and the bench players stood in front of their seats and faced the direction of the national flag.

"We are of one mind! Under the fire of the enemy—forward!"

The camera once again scanned the first eleven players of the Chinese team. Through the live broadcast of the microphone, the TV audience could even hear the singing from their mouths.

"Between enemy fire, go! Go! Go! Go!

...

"

With the disappearance of the last note, huge cheers can't wait to come from the stands of the stadium.

The captain Yin Jun in the camera clapped his hands vigorously and shouted to his teammates: "Get ready for the game! Brothers!"

In a certain VIP box in the stands, Ye Lanqiu was also applauding, cheering for Yin Jun and his teammates.

Countless Chinese fans in front of the TV were also shouting: "Come on, Chinese team!

"

………………

As the captain, Yin Jun won the right to pick the side for the team, and the Swedish team got the kick-off right.However, the Swedish team's first attack did not pose any threat to the Chinese team's goal and was defended by the Chinese team.

Zheng Zhi, who broke the ball, handed it to Yin Jun.

Swedish midfielder Linderoth came to press Yin Jun, but was easily passed by Yin Jun.

"Gao Lin! Run!"

After Yin Jun passed Linderoth, he roared. Gao Lin, the young player who started the game as a right midfielder, suddenly went forward, but he was still followed by Swedish defenders.

Seeing this, Yin Jun didn't pass the football to him, but passed it to the space he pulled out.Li Jinyu came in obliquely and competed for football with Swedish central defender Lucic.

Under the close defense of the tall Lucic, Li Jinyu was completely unable to shoot, and at the same time lost his balance in the confrontation and slipped to the ground.

However, after many years of game experience, Li Jinyu stretched his feet to reach the football even if he fell to the ground, and hooked the football back before Lucic.

Tenacious, he did not give up on this attack. Instead, he put his hands on the ground, turned his body on the turf in the penalty area, and swept the football up with his feet to clear another Swedish defender.The football hit the opponent's calf and flew out of the baseline.

Even if there is no way to complete the shot, it is good to get a corner kick!
………………

"Li Jinyu won a corner kick for the Chinese team!" Huang Qiangqiang, who was on the commentary stand, said loudly amidst huge cheers.

Nearly two-thirds of Dortmund's Induna Park stadium in this game are Chinese fans, and the remaining third is composed of local German fans and Swedish fans. Therefore, in terms of momentum, Chinese fans have the upper hand.

From the beginning of the game, the Chinese fans had never heard the various shouts, coupled with the Chinese slogans and flags that can be seen everywhere in the stands... Suddenly, it makes people think that this is the home court of the Chinese team.

Before the game, some media said that Chinese from all over Europe had gathered in Dortmund. This statement is a bit exaggerated, but it is enough to show the enthusiasm of Chinese and overseas Chinese.

Although this is not the first time that the Chinese men's football team has appeared in the World Cup, it is also the first time that the Chinese team has appeared in a major event in the Western world. It is completely different from the previous Chinese team's warm-up matches in Europe, even last year. The Confederations Cup is completely incomparable with the current World Cup.

Such an important moment is not only a carnival for Chinese domestic fans, but also a grand festival for those Chinese and overseas Chinese scattered all over the world.Therefore, there are many people cheering for the Chinese team in the stands of the Induna Park Stadium, but they did not come all the way from China.

After the opening, the performance of the Chinese team did not let them down.

Before the game, some people worried that the players of the Chinese team would be unable to let go of their hands and feet during the game because of nervousness, but in fact, the performance of the Chinese team was not bad, at least there was no obvious stage fright.

Obviously, the Chinese team has won the Asian Cup and Confederations Cup consecutively in the past two years, which has brought strong confidence to the players.Even against a strong European team like Sweden, they played calmly.
