Chapter 476 What the Hell Is This?

On June 10th, Beijing time, the World Cup in Germany kicked off.

The 2006 World Cup gathered the best football players in the world, including football legends such as Ronaldo, Henry, Ballack, Figo, Del Piero, Ronaldinho and Zidane, as well as Robben, Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, Rooney, Dong Fangzhuo, and Torres are still young players but have already begun to dominate.

The host country's game against Costa Rica kicked off this event. The childish Lahm scored the first goal of the tournament. The whole process was amazing. In the 6th minute, Germany attacked quickly in the frontcourt. Ram got the ball on the left side and moved horizontally to get rid of two defenders. Then he shot with his right foot from the edge of the penalty area. The ball drew a wonderful arc in the air and bypassed Costa Rica goalkeeper Porras. Hit the inside of the right post and entered the net.

Even just sitting in the hotel room watching the game, Dong Fangzhuo and his teammates excitedly raised their arms and shouted...

It seems that they are just ordinary fans now and have not realized that four days later, they will also play on behalf of the Chinese team.

In the next four days, they trained and prepared for the game while sitting in front of the TV to watch the game.

Those were the happiest days. According to the memories of Zheng Zhi, another big player in Chinese football, his life has never been so bright.

Since the Chinese team is in the last group and is the last group match of the first round, the Chinese team and Tunisia will definitely be the last two teams to appear.

In the first round, except for the French team, which drew 0:0 with the Swiss team, all the other strong teams won. The last strong team to appear is the Spanish team, which is in the same group as the Chinese team.

The Spanish team's opponent is the nuclear-armed Shevchenko's Ukraine. At 21:00 on June 14th, Beijing time (15:00 local time in Germany), the first match of the first round of Group H of the World Cup started at the Leipzig Central Stadium.

Before the game, Shevchenko attended the press conference as captain. He believed that the Spanish team was in a period of turmoil and that Ukraine could be evenly matched with Spain.

but……

The results were relentless.

Spain finally defeated Ukraine 4-0, creating the most disparate score in this World Cup so far.

In the first half, Spain seized two set-piece opportunities. Alonso received Xavi's corner kick and scored his first national team goal; then Villa's free kick was deflected into the net. In the second half, Torres' breakthrough led to Tymoshuk's red card and Villa scored twice from a penalty kick. Before the end, Torres added the icing on the cake.

Shevchenko, who ranked among the top five scorers in odds, didn't even have a chance to shoot!

Dong Fangzhuo and the others watched the entire game in the hotel, and they were all silent after watching it.

In the end, it was Sun Jihai who spoke loudly.

"The domestic media are still fancifully saying that Ukraine can draw with Spain, but this is a slap in the face..."

"Ukraine, which has a good overall strength, was conceded four goals..." Sun Jihai is most annoyed by the nonsense of those mindless domestic media reporters.

"The only advantage we can take advantage of is that we only played Spain in the third round. Spain had already appeared in the group by that time, so we took advantage. When the time comes, if the brothers play harder, they will have to stop playing. , throw away the ball less..."

Sun Jihai still has bad intentions.

It sounds like Sun Jihai's words are a bit unpleasant. We haven't even played against Spain yet and we are already thinking about losing a few goals. But people are right to think so. This is called pragmatism. The strength of the Chinese team is there. You can't aim too high. Taken.

Of course, Ukraine lost to Spain by a huge margin in the first round, which instantly boosted the morale of the Chinese team.

This means that Ukraine, which poses the greatest danger to China's qualifying in the group, is now in a passive position. If the Chinese team can win Tunisia tomorrow, the chances of qualifying for the group will increase a lot...

Before the game, the media were bragging about how awesome Ukraine was with Shevchenko, but it turned out that no matter how good a shooter it was, it was useless without strong midfield and frontcourt support...

Based on this,

Before the game, Tunisia coach Le Maire also encouraged the players: "The match between Spain and Ukraine proved that just having a great shooter is not enough to compete with the opponent, you must have a strong team, and obviously Tunisia has such a team, but China obviously doesn’t.”

After thinking about it, Flamel added something.

"I'm not looking down on the Chinese team, I just think Tunisia is much better than China in team building. As long as we guard Dong, we will win half the battle."

After hearing Le Maire's words, Krauchen rarely hit back at Le Maire at the press conference.

"I really want to remember that in 2005, the Chinese National Youth Team and the Ukrainian National Youth Team were in the same group. In the end we won, and it was Dong who scored the goal. And in my current team, there are many starters at that time. player of."

"In addition, in 2002, the French team failed to score a single goal and was directly eliminated from the World Cup. At that time, the French team had the top scorer in Serie A, Ligue 1 and the Premier League. Therefore, the top scorer and the strength of the team are not inevitable. Relationships, there are too many factors that affect the course of the game.”

Krauchen didn't mention anyone by name, but there was blood. France in 2002 has always been a pain in Le Maire's heart...

"Except Spain, the other three teams in the group have the opportunity to compete for the second place in the group. The Chinese team is not here to travel! Tunisia has good strength, but the Chinese team is not a rookie either!"

Then, Krauchen announced the starting lineup for the first game.

Goalkeeper: Liu Yunfei.

Defenders from right to left: Sun Jihai, Feng Xiaoting, Li Weifeng, Sun Xiang.

Midfielder: Zhao Xuri, Zheng Zhi, Shao Jiayi

Forwards: Qu Bo, Dong Fangzhuo, Mao Jianqing

"Idiot!"

"What the hell kind of lineup is this!"

"Do you want to die? Did the old German man really lose his mind in front of his hometown elders?"

"When did Zheng Zhi hit the midfielder?"

"This guy Qu Bo has rarely beaten the main force. Can he do it?"

"Feng Xiaoting plays the main central defender?"

"I wipe, I wipe, I wipe, it's over, it's over..."

The starting lineup has been announced, and China is in a state of shock.

Even Zhu Heyuan, who had always been very kind, looked extremely dark.

Damn it, the starting lineup that was given to me an hour ago is not like this. Krauchen, you are betting too big!

Can you afford the responsibility?

Woohoo...

How should I explain to the leader?

Except for Krauchen and the members of the national team, perhaps no Chinese people believe that this lineup will really appear in the first game against Tunisia...

but,

That afternoon, when these 11 people started the game under the leadership of Li Weifeng, everything had become a reality.

Krauchen knew that China had gone against its will, but he did not regret his choice.

The characteristics of the Tunisian team are speed and strength, and the players he sent have both speed and technology...

Especially the frontcourt trident...
