On May 31, at 12 o'clock in Mexico daylight saving time, Mexico hosted the opening ceremony of the World Cup on a grand scale.

The World Cup was the only one that changed hands halfway, and due to Colombia's high debt and inability to host the World Cup, FIFA decided that Mexico would come forward to host the World Cup again.

Mexico also became the only country to host the World Cup twice. The competition mode has been changed from this session to the first stage of the round-robin competition, and the last two stages of the elimination round-robin.

This year, Mexico has suffered two major earthquakes in a row, with countless deaths and injuries, but at the World Cup, Mexicans poured more enthusiasm into forgetting their grief.

Jonas: They did not go to the scene, but watched the opening ceremony on television.

After the opening ceremony, defending champions Italy took on Bulgaria at the 110,000-capacity Estadio Aztec.

In the first half, Altobelli scored a goal for Italy, but in the second half, the weak Bulgaria returned it.

A bunch of big stars ended up being pushed to the ground by a bunch of "small characters", which was really disappointing for the defending champions.

The final result was a 1-1 draw, but to be honest, the Bulgarian players were much better than the Italians, just unlucky.

Nzele turned off the TV after the game and said: "Everyone took turns to talk about their impressions of the game. ”

Jonas is now the captain, and he looks around the veterans, and everyone motions for him to speak first.

Jonas was no longer polite and said: "In this game, the role of the star was suppressed by the Bulgarians with tacit cooperation, and our Swiss team is also a country that lacks decisive stars, so we must pay attention to the connection between the front, center and backfield. ”

This kind of rotation of more than 20 people does not need to be long-winded, and everyone can summarize it in one or two sentences.

Everyone finished speaking in turn, and then the coach summed it up. The central idea is to emphasize the team's cohesion and fight for the will.

Finally, just when everyone thought they were going to disband, Enzler said loudly: "Tomorrow at noon, it's our Swiss team against Brazil, and now, everyone is ready to set off for the training ground for the last jet lag training." ”

Everyone secretly complained, but no one protested. Everyone knows that the muscles are stimulated at noon today, and when it comes to the noon game tomorrow, they will get used to it quickly.

Although the Brazilian team took advantage of the time difference, the first match was at 12 o'clock in the afternoon, and they are used to playing in the afternoon and evening, and they are not necessarily more comfortable with the Swiss team.

Group D, Brazil vs. Switzerland, is the second match of this World Cup, which takes place at the Jalisco Stadium in Guadalajara.

The stadium, which can accommodate 32,000 people, poured in more than 35,000 people.

This kind of overcrowding was normal in the 80s, because many of the football fields in this era had standing seats.

It was only in the subsequent tragedies that FIFA made it mandatory for all spectators to sit down.

However, until later generations, the Weststadadin in Germany, when domestic matches were held, still removed seats and set up standing seats for loyal fans.

Because many fans just feel that standing and watching the game is more enjoyable.

Although the media and the vast majority of viewers believe that Brazil has the advantage in this game, because of the style of the match, even the master of the court art Socrates, in an interview, kept a low profile and only said that he would go all out.

The Swiss team has also repeatedly shown weakness, whether it is the team leader or the head coach, including the captain Jonas, who has said that they want to learn from the Brazilian team.

In an interview at the press conference, Jonas said frankly: "This year's Brazilian team is one of the strongest Brazilian teams in history, even surpassing the Brazilian team that won the World Cup in 70.

In my opinion, this Brazilian team has no shortcomings at all, with Josimal and Cesar in the back line, Socrates, Carreca, Zico, Falcao, Cerezo in the midfield, and other lineups that can be called world superstars.

In the last World Cup, they lost to Italy in the final, definitely not because of the difference in strength, but the difference between art and practicality.

The Brazilian players are all masters of the arts, while the Swiss players are just craftsmen, so we can only work hard to make up the gap. ”

Jonas is half boasting, half telling the truth. This year's World Cup is no worse than Brazil's 2002 edition, with a star-studded audience.

But he also knows that in this World Cup, the Brazilian team still returns with hatred.

Because these talented players have brought the artistry of football to the extreme, it can even be called crazy.

Socrates and the others are on the court, watching them play is a kind of enjoyment, they take the ball on the court calmly, move with ease, pass the ball to the top, the offensive rhythm is smooth, and the coordination is like a smooth cloud, which can make any fan fascinated.

Maybe geniuses are too clean and self-appreciative, and they are not mixed with utilitarianism at all. They lacked fighting spirit in the game and did not hesitate to give up their results in order to look good on the court.

Even after the past 30 years, many people still remember them, but it is true that their generation has not achieved outstanding results in the competition.

Jonas and Enzelle's strategy is to tout the artistry of the other team's play and keep these talents immersed in their own world.

In this game, there are not many fans in Switzerland, maybe they can't buy tickets, maybe they have given up the first game, and they are afraid of seeing their team lose.

But Jonas they are definitely not afraid, the barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes, and they will do it if they don't obey.

Switzerland won the right to guess the edge, and Brazil kicked off first.

In this game held at 12 o'clock at noon, the sun is in the middle, and the direction of the court is north-south, so there is no advantage at all in guessing the side.

As the captain, Jonas still chose the goal in the south, at least in the first half, his vision did not need to be backlit, he could see the ball clearly, and he was not afraid of being sneak attacked.

From the start of the game, the Swiss team attacked like a cloud, and for five minutes, the Swiss team did not even touch the ball.

However, Switzerland's midfielders and defenders were all blocked on the edge of the penalty area, without the slightest loss of position, and the Brazilian team could not attack at all.

Brazil then reversed their strategy and played the ball back into midfield to draw Switzerland away.

For a technical team like Brazil, the Swiss team executed high-pressure pressing in the midfield and compressed space in the midfield.

This kind of pressing is to make the Brazilian team uncomfortable with the ball, there is no space to play, the defense at the back is tight, and you don't have a shot on goal.

The Swiss team itself has a style of emphasizing defense, focusing on the whole and playing hard.

Although it takes more energy than the opponent on the court, the Swiss players have a good physical reserve, and they are all small and strong who can't run.

This style of play made the Brazilian team very embarrassed, because they couldn't play the charm of the artist at all.

It took 17 minutes of the first half for Brazil to get their first shot on target from Carreca. However, this kind of hanging ball on the line of the penalty area in the line of sight is not difficult for Jonas at all, and he grabs the ball directly in the air.

As soon as he landed, he threw the ball in his hand and launched an attack.

Right-back Lichtsteiner touched the ball and passed it directly to midfielder Zubair. Zubert is a player with a similar style to Stells, with accurate long balls and strong attacking ability from behind, but he is a little thinner.

He took a few steps forward after receiving the ball, waited for his own defender Vargas to get in front of him, and passed the ball to the feet of Vargas just outside the Brazilian penalty area with a long pass.

The veteran captain was very active in his first game, receiving the ball without an attacking line and sending in a cross.

It's a pity that although the striker who stepped in behind Hrami touched the ball, he was not strong enough, but he was held in the arms of the Brazilian goalkeeper.

This wave of offensive and defensive transitions is also a manifestation of the style of the two teams, with Brazil like the future Cosmos team, while the Swiss team is like Atletico Madrid, which has matured under Simeone.

Although I can't fight you with skills, I can always make you play badly.

And when attacking, Brazil's attack is very fast, and no players stick to the ball.

As long as we control the ball, try to pass to the front, and if we lose the ball, we will fight back on the spot and disrupt the rhythm of the attack.

Although the two teams have not scored, the back and forth of the attack is very fast, one minute the money is still in the Swiss penalty area, and the next minute, it is in the Brazilian team's penalty area.

Unfortunately, the Swiss team lacked a game-changing superstar and the final kick often fell short.

Although Brazil's attack was a kaleidoscope, there were few dangerous balls, and Jonas did not show his skills at all, easily taking the ball in the five goal frames.

In the second half, the two sides exchanged venues, and the Brazilian team stepped up their attack.

The Swiss team often leaves only striker Hrami alone in the frontcourt, and the other players help each other to defend without losing their position.

It's the Italian team's chain defence, and the Swiss team, although not as tightly linked, have Jonas behind them.

Especially this year's Swiss team, although there are no stars, the players are very reasonable, the average age is 28 years old, and in terms of experience, perseverance, and resilience, they are not afraid of any team at all.

Winning the European Championship the year before last also strengthened the mentality of the players, and there will never be a situation where they panic when they lose a goal and mess up when they lose their position.

The game was deadlocked until 80 minutes, and the Brazilian team was still helpless against the Swiss team, and the Swiss team was even difficult to attack in the half.

When the final whistle blew, most of the Brazilian stars shook their heads in regret, while the Swiss players breathed a sigh of relief.

Facing a five-star Brazil with eleven stars, the pressure was enough to break most of the team, but the Swiss team survived.

It's a pity that there is no habit of changing jerseys in this era, because everyone doesn't have many jerseys, and if you change your jersey every game, you won't have a jersey to wear in the end.

So it's not an important game, it's a great game, and the players don't take the initiative to change their shirts.

Jonas led all the players to the sidelines to thank the Swiss fans who came to watch the game, and everywhere he went, the audience immediately cheered.

After the match, the best player went to Lichtsteiner of Switzerland. The Swiss team was able to survive in a passive situation, mainly thanks to his active performance in midfield.

He is a midfield converter who keeps the Swiss team in attack and keeps Brazil from giving it their all.

This is something that Jonas, who didn't save a few dangerous balls today, can't compare.

Jonas was actually very happy to see Lichtsteiner perform well, and Switzerland needed the players to perform a little bit better if they wanted to do well.
