Strong Waist

Chapter 38 Against the Defending Champion

As time goes by, the World Cup fever becomes more intense as we enter the third round of the group stage.

Especially in China, the atmosphere of the World Cup is stronger than in previous years.

The excellent performance of the Chinese team in the group stage inspired everyone.

Even if they are not fans, they will stay in front of the TV, and even some people who don’t understand football will go to join in the fun.

Football is a sport, that’s right!

But under the premise of the World Cup, it is more of a confrontation at the level of national honor.

When the Chinese team has repeatedly performed well, it increases the sense of national honor and national pride in the hearts of the Chinese people.

This kind of speech is full of patriotic feelings and identity.

Since the start of the World Cup, in just 11 days, the ratings of the World Cup have been rising all the way, from the initial attention of inherent fans to the attention of the whole country.

The performance of the Chinese team, the media’s rendering, and the carpet-style preheating on major websites have made this atmosphere move towards a climax.

And now, we have finally come to the third round of the World Cup group stage, which is also the key game for the Chinese team to advance or not!

The attention of this game is also rising in a straight line.

The video clips of the warm-up for the game alone have reached hundreds of millions of hits in a short period of time.

Various stars, football commentators and former internationals have come out to promote the Chinese players of this session.

So, results are king!

When the performance is excellent, those bad voices will disappear completely.

"It's so f*cking nervous!"

In front of the Baixada Arena, Zheng Xin stood at the entrance with a press card hanging around his neck.

He kept rubbing his hands. It was already the second dog days of summer, and the excitement caused sweat to flow down, soaking his clothes.

"Spain's performance is very poor this session, we have a chance!"

Sina Sports reporter Liu Wenhan said on the side.

Zheng Xin turned around and said, "Are you talking nonsense?"

"What nonsense?"

Liu Wenhan complained, "It's a fact that Spain performed poorly!"

After a pause, he added; "But don't recover here!"

The state of Spain this session is simply explosive!

The overall use of Spain's unique passing and controlling style, but too much focus on passing and controlling has greatly reduced the offensive efficiency.

At the same time, the state of many midfield players also plummeted.

For example, Iniesta

And Fabregas, who is currently in peak form, was pressed to the bench.

Especially after the massacre in the first round and the draw in the second round, the team seemed to have conflicts and played completely unlike a whole.

Of course, this is good news for the Chinese team.

Spain can go but cannot slow down.

"Here we go!"

Suddenly someone shouted, and the fans at the scene immediately began to make noise.

Zheng Xin and Liu Wenhan and other reporters picked up their cameras and looked at the bus that was slowly approaching from a distance.

The bus was printed with the Chinese national flag, representing that this was the Chinese national team.

The fans on both sides were cheering wildly and practicing for the Chinese team.

The bus stopped at the entrance, and one by one the Chinese players got off the bus and walked into the stadium under the leadership of head coach Liu Hongbo.

Every player's first will set off hot cheers at the scene.

Especially Wang Yi, Chen Man, Liu Kairui and other overseas players.

When it comes to Lekai, it's out of control.

The whole audience is shouting Lekai's name.

Lekai!!! ---

Lekai!!! ---

Lekai!!! ---

Since the two rounds of the Chinese team, Lekai's performance has been crucial. It can be said that without Lekai, the Chinese team would not have reached this point.

In the past, the Chinese team played with Wang Yi as the core.

But Wang Yi is not a player who can be the core. He focuses more on offense, but he is not the type who can turn the tide with his personal ability alone.

Simply put, the core of the Chinese team is not strong enough!

And now Lekai's appearance is a huge surprise to Chinese fans.

Tough midfielder!

The absolute core of both offense and defense!

The arrival of Lekai not only changed the Chinese team's playing style and rhythm, but also changed its offensive appearance.

The spirit of fighting to the death in adversity!

The tenacious fighting style!

Even when facing European powerhouses, the Chinese team still did not give in and played with their own style.

This is the most exciting part for Chinese fans.

The Chinese team is no longer lost in the predicament as before.

Lekai is like a pilot light in the fog, and the direction he illuminates is the path for the Chinese team to move forward.

How can you not love such a player!

At this moment, even Wang Yi, the captain, has to stand aside in terms of popularity!

Amid the cheers on the scene, Lekai just waved his hand in response and walked into the venue.

Zheng Xin also put down the camera in his hand.

In his mind was the first meeting three years ago.

The young boy at that time has now grown into a pillar of the Chinese team.

At that time, Lekai was not as strong as he is now, and he did not grow a beard. Although it was just a circle of stubble, it gave people a sense of maturity, stability and a hint of fierceness.

Just as Zheng Xin was sighing, a huge cheer came from the other side of the venue.

Zheng Xin's eyes could not help but condense slightly.

He knew that this was the opponent of the Chinese team!

Defending World Cup champion, Matador Legion, Spain!

The locker rooms on both sides show extremely obvious differences.

In the Chinese team's locker room, the players were all listening attentively to the head coach's explanation of tactics.

Everyone's expression was extremely serious.

But here in Spain it feels a bit messy.

Some people have blank eyes, some are talking and laughing, and some have tense faces.

Even Casillas, the captain, lowered his head and sat on the bench, not knowing what he was thinking.

Obviously, the conflict has still not been resolved.

"This is CCTV. What you are watching is the third round of the 2014 Brazil World Cup group stage. The Chinese team will play against the defending champion Spain!"

After Duan Xuan loudly shouted his opening remarks, he immediately began to praise: "The Chinese team's performance in the first two rounds was extremely exciting, especially in the second round. If it weren't for the penalty kick, they might have become the first in the group!"

Tao Wei shook his head and sighed; "This is not the first time Robben has done something like this, but I didn't expect the referee to give the penalty like this. This is obviously a flop!"

Duan Xuan nodded and said: "After the game, the referee looked back at the slow motion and immediately wanted to apologize, but we did not accept it!"

Tao Wei; "No one will accept this meaningless apology!"

"Okay, let's get back to the topic. This game is a crucial battle for both the Chinese team and the Spanish team! Whether we can advance to the World Cup finals or not, everything depends on this game!"

“In the previous round, the Netherlands took away Chile 2:0 cleanly, and the Netherlands also won the final promotion spot, while the Chilean team ranked first in Group B with a record of 0 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses. An elimination target!”

"And this game will determine the second promotion spot!"

Speaking of this, Duan Xuan said seriously; "The national anthem of the Chinese team is played three times every year in the World Cup. We are always eliminated in the third round of the group stage and go home, but this time it is different. The boys of the Chinese team have used their efforts to Enough opportunities for us!”

"Can the "March of the Volunteers" resound in the skies of Brazil again! Can the Chinese team advance to the World Cup finals? Let's wait and see!"

In the players tunnel, Lucai stood quietly.

On his other side are the players.

Before entering, Lucky also saw club teammate Cazorla. The latter wanted to say hello to Lucky, but Lucky ignored him.

Now the two are not teammates, and it is during the World Cup, so it is not appropriate to have too much contact. ,

Lucky also took a brief look at Spain's lineup. Coach Vicente del Bosque still uses the midfield combination of Iniesta, Xabi Alonso and Koke.

Obviously, this champion coach is also stubborn and will not look back until he hits the wall.

This is good news for the Chinese team.

At least Iniesta's current state has declined seriously. If Fabregas is the core, they will play even more uncomfortable.

As for the striker, without the magical performance of Calabash boy David Villa, the scoring efficiency is also greatly reduced.

The brutal striker Costa couldn't fit in at all. He basically played in the midfield, and he played in his.

As for Torres, what the league is like is what it is now.

It can be said that the current Spanish striker is terrible.

Cazorla even had to be placed in the winger position. On the one hand, while seeking midfield control, he also wanted to rely on Cazorla's scoring efficiency at Arsenal to open up offensive gaps for Spain.

But it's obviously not easy!
