Chapter 287 Against the defending champion

Time has passed, and with the third round of the group stage, the World Cup craze has become even hotter.

Especially in China, the atmosphere of this 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 up to join in the fun.

There is nothing wrong with football being a sport!

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

When the Chinese team has repeatedly played well, it has increased the national honor and national pride in the hearts of the Chinese people.

Look! We beat Chile!

Look! We drew against the mighty Netherlands!

Chinese team! Awesome!

This kind of discourse is full of patriotic feelings and a sense of identity.

In just 11 days since the World Cup kicked off, the ratings of the World Cup have been rising all the way, and it has gradually evolved from inherent fan attention to national attention.

The performance of the Chinese team, the rendering of the media, and the various warm-ups on the major websites all made this atmosphere move towards a climax.

And now, the third round of the World Cup group stage has finally arrived, which is also the key match for the Chinese team to advance or not!

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

The clip video of the game warm-up has reached hundreds of millions of views in a short period of time.

Various stars, football commentators and former international players have all stood up to advocate for this year's Chinese team players.

So, grades are king!

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

"So nervous!"

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

He kept rubbing his hands, it was a two-fu day, and the excitement caused sweat to drip down, and the whole clothes were soaked.

"Spain played poorly this year, we have a chance!"

said Sina Sports reporter Liu Wenhan.

Zheng Xin turned his head and said, "Are you false?"

"What is false?"

Liu Wenhan complained: "Spain's poor performance is a fact!"

After a pause, he added; "But don't reply to the status here!"

The state of Spain this year is simply an explosion!

The overall use of Spain's unique pass-and-control style of play, but too much focus on pass-and-control, resulting in a greatly reduced offensive efficiency.

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

like Iniesta

And Cesc Fabregas, who is currently at his peak, is being held on the bench.

Especially after the slaughter in the first round and the draw in the second road, there seemed to be contradictions within the team, and the team didn't play as a whole at all.

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

Spain can travel to and cannot be deferred.

"coming!"

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

Zheng Xin, Liu Wenhan and other reporters picked up the cameras in their hands and faced the bus that was slowly entering from a distance.

The Chinese flag is printed on the bus, which means that this is 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 under the leadership of head coach Liu Hongbo, the Chinese players got off the bus and walked into the stadium.

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

Especially the overseas players such as Wang Yi, Chen Man, and Liu Kairui.

When he arrived at Lucky, he was out of control.

The whole audience was chanting Lucky's name.

Lucky! !

Lucky! !

Lucky! !

Since the two rounds of the Chinese team, Lucky's performance has been very important. It can be said that without Lucky, the Chinese team could not have achieved this step at all.

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

But Wang Yi is not a player who can serve as the core. He focuses more on offense, but he is not the type who can turn the tide by relying solely on his personal ability.

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

And now the appearance of Lucky is a huge surprise for 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 living towards death in difficult situations!

Tough fighting style!

Even in the face of strong European teams, the Chinese team still did not give up and played their own style.

This is the most exciting place for Chinese fans.

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

Lekai is like an indicator light in a fog, the direction he illuminates is the channel for the Chinese team to move forward.

This kind of player, how not to love!

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

Amidst the cheers at the scene, Le Kai just waved his hand in response, and immediately walked into the venue.

Zheng Xin also put down the camera in his hand.

The first encounter three years ago is in my mind.

The youthful youth at that time has now grown into the optimist of the Chinese team.

At that time, Lucky was not as strong as he is now, and he didn't have a beard. Although it was just a circle of stubble, it already gave people a mature, stable and a little bit of ferocity.

Just as Zheng Xin sighed, there were huge cheers from the other side of the venue.

Zheng Xin's gaze couldn't help but congeal slightly.

He knows that this is the opponent of the Chinese team!

Defending World Cup Champion, Toradores, Spain!

The dressing rooms on both sides are extremely different.

In the locker room of the Chinese team, the players were listening intently to the coach explaining the tactics.

Everyone's expressions were extremely serious.

But the Spanish side is a bit messy.

Some people stared blankly, some people were talking and laughing, some people were tensed.

Even Casillas, the captain, was sitting on the bench with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking.

Obviously, the contradiction is still unresolved.

"This is CCTV, you are watching the third round of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, where the Chinese team plays the defending champion Spain!"

Duan Xuan immediately started to praise after shouting his opening remarks loudly; "The Chinese team performed extremely well in the first two rounds, especially in the second round. If it wasn't for the penalty kick, it might have been the first in the group!"

Tao Wei shook his head and sighed; "It's not the first time that Robben has done this kind of thing, but I didn't expect the referee to give such a penalty. This is obviously a diving!"

Duan Xuan nodded and said, "After the game, the referee looked back at the slow motion and immediately apologized, but we didn't accept it!"

Tao Wei; "No one will accept such a meaningless apology!"

"Okay, let's go back to the topic, this game is a key battle for both the Chinese team and the Spanish team! Whether we can qualify for the World Cup finals depends on this game!"

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

"And this game will decide the second qualifying spot!"

Speaking of which, Duan Xuan said solemnly; "The national anthem of the Chinese team is played three times a year in the World Cup, and we are always eliminated in the third round of the group stage to go home, but this time is different, the boys of the Chinese team use their hard work. Enough opportunity for us!"

"Whether the "March of the Volunteers" resounds through the sky in Brazil again! Can the Chinese team qualify for the World Cup finals! Let's wait and see!"

Inside the player tunnel, Lucky stood quietly in place.

On the other side of him are West playing the players.

Before entering the stadium, Lucky also saw club teammate Cazorla, who wanted to say hello to Lucky, but Lucky ignored it.

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

Lekai also briefly looked at the Spanish lineup. Coach Bosque still used the midfield combination of Iniesta, Xavi Alonso and Koke.

Obviously, this champion coach is also a head iron, and he won't look back if he doesn't hit the south wall.

This is good news for the Chinese team.

At least the current state of Iniesta has declined seriously. If Cesc Fabregas is the core, they will be more uncomfortable.

In the front line, without the magical performance of the gourd boy David Villa, the scoring efficiency is also greatly reduced.

The brutalist striker Costa couldn't fit in at all, basically midfielders played midfielders, he played him.

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

It can be said that the current Spanish striker is a lousy one.

Even had to put Cazorla in the winger position. On the one hand, while seeking midfield control, he wanted to rely on Cazorla's goal efficiency in Arsenal to open up an attacking gap for Spain.

But it's obviously not easy!
