Football: start copying peak Messi attributes

Chapter 287 The World Cup officially started, the final re-enactment, Spain VS Netherlands!

The protest of the Spanish Football Association has achieved certain results. Under the intervention of FIFA, the Brazilians had to restrain themselves and seriously sent people to disperse the rioting Brazilian fans outside.

However, this incident caused a rift between the fans of the two countries.

"The Brazilians are too tasteless, aren't they? As the host, you can't afford to lose if you actually engage in such an off-the-market move?"

"Hehe, we haven't met them yet, they have already engaged in these dirty things. If we really encounter them in the knockout stage, why don't they send someone to shoot all our players with guns?"

"Don't tell me, I don't think this possibility can be ruled out!"

"That's right, considering the security situation in the Brazilian slums, it is absolutely possible to bribe a few gunmen to create such a terrorist attack!"

"Why are you talking more and more scary? Such outrageous things shouldn't happen, right?"

"Who knows, it's a mess here, and it's not surprising that anything happens!"

This matter has been discussed very hotly on the Internet, which has brought a bad influence on this World Cup.

The Brazilians hope to use this World Cup to improve their country's image, attract tourists to travel, and boost their economy.

If tourists are afraid to come because of such negative news, and even damage the image of the country, then the loss outweighs the gain.

As a result, their police department had to come forward urgently, saying that they would strictly guarantee the safety of the players who came to participate in the World Cup in Brazil and would not let them be threatened in any way.

However, for the Brazilian's statement, Spain does not seem to believe it.

Bosque issued a foot restraint order to the players, telling them not to run around casually, even if they want to go shopping, they cannot act alone, let alone go to places with poor security conditions.

In fact, the law and order in Brazil is not that bad. In the wealthy area, the police are well manned and patrolled vigorously, so the law and order situation is not too bad.

But in the slums, the situation is completely different.

Fortunately, the Spanish players are not here for tourism. They usually train and compete, and they don't have much free time.

Under the current situation of the enemy, they are not in the mood to go out to play.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the opening game of this World Cup.

By convention, Brazil, the host team, will take the lead.

The opponent they will face is the Croatian team from the Balkans.

Brazil is not only the host of this World Cup, but also the favorite to win the championship.

And their opponent Croatia is not a traditional strong team. Among the many strong teams in Europe, they can only be ranked at the third-rate level.

Therefore, in the predictions of all parties before the game, the outside world is more optimistic about the Brazilian team winning at home.

Since the Group B game will start tomorrow, Bosque asked the players to watch the opener collectively.

At 6 o'clock in the afternoon on June 12, the opening game of the 5th World Cup started at the Corinthians Stadium in Sao Paulo.

The heat of the game was very high, and more than 75000 people squeezed into the stadium that can accommodate 8 people, many of whom were Brazilian fans without tickets.

Looking around, the scene is almost a sea of ​​green.

The morale of the Brazilians was very high. Amidst the cheers of more than 8 fans at home, they launched a fierce attack on Croatia after the opening game.

Brazil is the favorite to win the championship, and the opponent is just a little-known underdog. Isn't this kind of game in hand?
However, the process of the game was beyond everyone's expectations.

Croatia turned away and threatened Brazil's goal twice in a row in the 4th and 6th minutes.

It's a pity that their striker failed to seize the opportunity and failed to turn the opportunity into a goal.

Still, Croatia's attack paid off.

In the 11th minute of the first half, Croatia sent a cross from the left. Brazil's full-back Marcelo accidentally scored an own goal and sent the ball into his own goal.

The score became 0:1, and the Brazilian team fell behind shortly after the start!
This goal is the first own goal in the 98 World Cup games that Brazil participated in, and it is also the first time in the history of the World Cup that the first goal is an own goal.

Marcelo accidentally sets two records!

Seeing their own players score an own goal, the Brazilian fans at the scene were in an uproar.

The Croatian players were also a little confused. It was just a cross that didn't pose much threat.

The result was turned into a goal by the opponent's defender. Could it be that we can overthrow the powerful host in the away game?

Affected by this, the morale of the Croatian players was boosted.

They played more proactively in the subsequent games, which made the Brazilian team very passive.

The Brazilian fans at the scene were extremely worried. It is so difficult to play against the Croatian team. How can they win the championship?
The lag behind the score made the Brazilian players feel a little impatient and played very anxiously.

In the 14th minute, Brazil launched a quick attack on the right side. Oscar's cross slid past the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was a little higher. Neymar jumped up very hard and still failed to touch the ball. Brazil missed the equalizer chance to score.

Neymar tried his best for this ball. He didn't touch the ball after jumping up. He almost fell on the court from a height of more than one meter, and he felt pain when he looked at it.

In the 26th minute, some accidents happened on the field. When Neymar and Modric were fighting for the landing point, they elbowed each other's neck and were shown a yellow card by the referee.

It was a collision between two number 10s, both suspected of fouling, but Neymar moved faster and harder.

At the critical moment, Neymar stood up.

In the 29th minute, relying on his personal ability, Neymar forced himself at the top of the arc in the penalty area. Against the interference of defensive players, he pierced through the Croatian goal with a sudden ground cut, helping Brazil equalize the score and bringing the two teams back. Same starting line.

The Brazilian fans at the scene burst into huge cheers, Neymar's name resounded through the sky, and countless Brazilians began to sing praises for him.

Neymar himself was also extremely excited. After scoring the goal, he ran to the corner area, opened his arms towards the audience, and accepted the cheers and applause of the fans.

After the goal was scored, the morale of the Brazilian team was greatly boosted.

Their players played more and more relaxed, and the game gradually fell into their control.

In the 69th minute, Brazil's striker Fred fell in the opponent's penalty area. The referee awarded a penalty and gave the Croatian defender a yellow card.

The slow-motion replay of the scene showed that there was a lot of controversy about the ball. Croatian defender Lovren did not make any obvious pushing action, it was more like Fred himself slipped and fell.

After the penalty was awarded, the Croatian players surrounded the referee emotionally and forced him under the billboard on the sidelines.

The referee Nishimura Yuichi from Japan is also a good-tempered person. He was surrounded by so many Croatian players. He was not angry. He just wrote down Lovren's yellow card before. He didn't want to maintain his authority, so he added yellow cards to other players. the meaning of.

Neymar stood in front of the penalty and took it in calmly.

2:1, the Brazilian team overtook the score.

After scoring this goal, Neymar scored twice, making him the second Brazilian player to score two goals in the World Cup opener.

Judging from Neymar's performance in this game, he seems to have lived up to the high expectations of Brazilian fans.

As long as he can lead the team to win this World Cup, he will undoubtedly become the hero in the hearts of the Brazilians!

The Brazilian team played more and more smoothly. In the 91st minute, Oscar made another goal with a kick in the counterattack, helping the Brazilian team to fix the score at 3:1.
In the end, the Samba Army reversed Croatia and got off to a good start.

In this game, if Neymar is a well-deserved MVP, then Oscar, who contributed one pass and one shot, and sent threatening passes many times in the offense, is undoubtedly the second best player in the Brazilian team.

It is incredible that such an excellent player will go to the Chinese Super League to seek gold in the future, and he is still in the golden period of his career.

The reason can probably only be explained by 'they gave too much'!
After the opening match, the World Cup group stage began in full swing.

At 6:13 on June 13, the second match of Group A will start.

After 90 minutes of fierce fighting, Mexico, a traditional strong team from Central America, beat Cameroon, a team from Africa, 1-0.

The first round of Group A is over. Currently, Brazil is temporarily at the top of the list with a goal difference advantage, and the qualifying situation is very good.

Mexico followed closely, and Cameroon and Croatia ranked second to last and first to last. The prospects of the two teams' promotion are very bad, because judging from the process of the first game, when they met the first and second, they were big. The probability can't be kicked.

The Brazilian team's good start made the host fans very excited.

On the Internet, the fans of the Brazilian team were jubilant, and some optimistic Brazilian fans even began to look forward to the scene of the team winning the cup.

The schedule of the World Cup is not too long, and for the teams aspiring to win the championship, they only need to play 7 games at most.

Brazil has won one game now and there are only 6 games left for them.

This kind of optimistic and even arrogant behavior has attracted criticism from many people on the Internet.

Needless to say, the fans of the teams who came to participate in this World Cup and aspire to win the championship do not think that their team is weaker than the Brazilian team, and naturally they will not think that Brazil can win the championship just because of one game.

Some neutral fans who don't have a home team, such as Chinese fans, can't understand the bragging behavior of the Brazilians.

"Isn't this too optimistic? It's just the group stage. What can we see from this?"

"That's right. Croatia is not a traditional strong team. Isn't it normal for Brazil to beat them?"

"Brazil and Mexico are the strongest in Group A. If Brazil can beat Mexico in the next game, it will prove their strength!"

Mexico is a strong team in the World Cup. They have participated in 15 World Cups. In the previous five World Cups, Mexico has qualified for the group stage every year. Their current world ranking is 25th.

Judging from the ranking and past record of the Mexican team, they are not considered a top team, but can only be regarded as a relatively strong second-tier team.

However, the gap between the second-tier teams and the first-tier teams is not that big. If the Brazilian team makes a mistake when facing them, it is also in danger of losing.

Moreover, the two teams currently have 3 points. If the Brazilian team wants to qualify first in the group, they must strive to win the next game against Mexico.

If the Brazilian team can easily defeat the opponent, it will prove that they do have the strength of a top team.

If they lose or are tied by Mexico, then their prospects of winning the championship will be a big question mark.

After the match in Group A, it will be the turn of Group B immediately.

The first game of Group B is a battle of focus-the defending champion VS the runner-up of the last World Cup!

This is a replica of the World Cup final in South Africa four years ago!
It is also the first time in the history of the World Cup that the opponents of the last World Cup final met in the first round of this group stage.

They met 10 times in history, Spain has 5 wins, 4 losses and 1 tie, being the upper hand.

The last match between the two sides dates back to July 2010, 7, the World Cup final in South Africa.

In that game, the two teams were tied in regular time. Iniesta's lore in overtime helped Spain beat the Netherlands 1-0 and win the World Cup in South Africa.

Four years later, the two teams met again, also on the stage of the World Cup, everything seemed to be the same as the arrangement of fate.

Four years later, things have changed. Compared with the lineup four years ago, the Dutch team has undergone tremendous changes in personnel.

Only 7 players who participated in the last World Cup participated in this World Cup.

Spain has 16 players who participated in the 2010 World Cup. From this point of view, the Dutch team's lineup is younger, while Spain's lineup is a bit aging!
But even so, the outside world is still more optimistic about Spain's victory.

In the betting of several bookmaker companies before the game, more than 60% of the fans bought Spain to win, and less than 40% of the fans believed that the Netherlands would win.

It is worth mentioning that the odds of Spain losing 1:5 to the Netherlands are as high as 700 times. Anyone who dares to gamble may get rich.

Although it is not the opening game, this game has received no less attention than the opening game.

On the Internet, the number of people discussing the game between Spain and the Netherlands far exceeds that of other games.

At the press conference before the game, hundreds of reporters from various countries poured in.

Faced with such a high degree of attention from the outside world, Dutch coach Van Gaal expressed confidence in an interview with reporters that he has found a way to deal with Spain and firmly believes that his team can win the game.

Facing Van Gaal's bragging, Bosque responded calmly:

"Over the past four years, countless teams have claimed that they found a way to deal with us, but in the end, they all failed."

Bosque has the confidence to say this. His team's record in international competitions in recent years is obvious to all.

World Cup, European Cup, Confederations Cup...

One championship trophy after another, Spain's hands are soft.

It is not that countries have not adopted targeted countermeasures against them, but without exception, all of them have failed.

Van Gaal is not the first to say this, and he certainly won't be the last.

As for whether his big words can be fulfilled, it depends on the performance of these players under his command on the court.

On the afternoon of June 6, the Spanish team set off early to head to the new water source stadium in El Salvador.

When the bus they took arrived at the stadium, they just met the bus of the Dutch team of the Orange Legion.

The players of the two teams all noticed each other's arrival, they looked at each other across the air, and there was a strong smell of gunpowder in the air.

Without anyone's encouragement, the fighting spirit of the players of the two teams has already been ignited.

In the pre-match warm-up session, the players of the two teams did not have any communication throughout the whole process. Even some players who were teammates in the club or had been teammates did not intend to say hello to each other.

On this occasion, there is no room for them to talk about the past in private.

In the coin guessing session before the game, Casillas chose the right to kick off.

The Dutch team took advantage of the trend and chose the right half as their own half.

In today's game, both teams chose away jerseys.

The Spanish players are wearing uniforms with red stripes on a white background. From a distance, they look a bit like Real Madrid.

The Dutch team chose a blue jersey, which is slightly darker than Chelsea's uniform.

I don't know if it's because of the jersey, the Spanish team looks extraordinarily tall today, and the players look a little taller than usual.

Against their background, the players of the Dutch team are like dwarfs, and the gap is very obvious.

This scene made Bosque on the sidelines frown a little. He confirmed that this was not an illusion. The average height of the Dutch players on the field is indeed not as good as that of Spain.

This phenomenon proves that Van Gaal chose speed players today, and their offense on the wing will definitely be very violent!

The referee in charge of law enforcement for this game is Rizzoli from Italy.

At 16:2014, with the whistle of the referee, the first round of the [-] World Cup Group B match officially started.
