In the 2018 World Cup in Russia, the quarter-finals were played in the first two games, and the favorite France defeated Uruguay 2-0 was expected, but Belgium's 2-1 victory over Brazil gave people a somewhat regrettable feeling.

Judging by the course of the game, Brazil deserved to win the game.

But that's how it is a lot of the time, and the team that performs better doesn't necessarily win the game.

And Belgium's overall performance was also very good, and the 'strange formation' of head coach Martinez disrupted a series of tactics arranged by Tite before the game, and had to be reversed, and it was natural to lose the game when Belgium took the lead.

In other words, the final in the first half of the zone was reduced to the European Cup, France vs Belgium.

The quarter-finals between China and Portugal were played in the evening of the next day, at 9 p.m. and 2 a.m. Beijing time.

Although the game time conflicts with the schedule of Chinese fans, this game is about whether the Chinese team can set a new record, and every Chinese with a sense of national honor will wait for this game to start.

From Yang 1 to Yang 5, almost every half hour, there will be a preview of the 1/4 finals of the World Cup between the Chinese team and Portugal, calling on fans to cheer for the national team in front of the TV and create a new record.

It is worth mentioning that with the elimination of Croatia by the Chinese team, a large number of fans poured into Russia.

Although they did not have tickets for the game, it did not prevent these fans who supported the national team from going to the cities where the Chinese team was playing and cheering for the national team.

For many fans, this is a feast not to be missed.

The World Cup hosted by Russia is very different from watching football in China, and in order to stimulate Chinese fans to spend in Russia, the Russian Tourism Bureau has built several fan squares near the Fisht Olympic Stadium in Sochi, which hosts the venue for the 1/4 finals, in order to let Chinese fans who can't buy tickets watch the game.

In the name of watching football for free and supporting the Chinese team to advance to the semifinals of the World Cup, it is actually to stimulate other consumption.

With more than half a day to go before the start of the game, the fan plaza outside the Fisht Olympic Stadium was almost overcrowded, and even the tourist city of Sochi added a lot of Chinese elements.

In addition to made-in-China products, there are more Chinese with black hair and yellow skin.

There are more Chinese fans coming to Sochi, and there are countless domestic media.

The pre-match block capture is what Chinese fans who can't make it to Sochi love to see.

As the official fan organization of the largest national team in China, the 'Dragon Team' fan club has a very high number and quality, which can be compared with other developed football countries.

The first quarter-finals were played at the Samara Stadium, Sweden vs England.

Tang Zheng is also paying attention to the match between Sweden and England as he makes final preparations, because if China beat Portugal, the semi-final opponent will be the winner between Sweden and England.

Of course, this has something to do with Tang Zheng being a fan of the England national team.

He liked to watch the Premier League since he was a child, and he became an England fan early, and the Chinese media and fans like to call England the European Chinese team, which makes him feel a lot of closeness to England.

If England beat Sweden and China beat Portugal, that would ...... Will the authentic Chinese derby, which was mentioned in the domestic media, appear soon?

With goals from Harry Maguire and Alli in the first half, England defeated Sweden 2-0 and advanced to the semi-finals of the World Cup for the first time in 28 years.

With the quarter-finals between England and Sweden coming to an end, the 2018 World Cup in Russia has come to an end.

The dust has settled on the three places in the semi-finals of the World Cup, and the quarter-finals between China and Portugal have become the focus of media and fans around the world.

Since the three teams that previously advanced to the semi-finals of the World Cup are France, Belgium and England, if the Chinese team loses to Portugal, the World Cup in Russia will be reduced to the European Cup.

But...... The media is most concerned about the direct confrontation between Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Tang Zheng is currently the number one star in world football, Cristiano Ronaldo is not convinced, and at the age of 33, he wants to prove to everyone that he is still capable of becoming the number one player in world football.

At the same time, he wants to prove to Manchester United that he is still at the peak of his career!

※※※

The 1/4 finals between the Chinese team and Portugal are the last 1/4 finals of the World Cup in Russia, and there is no need to say how much attention has been received, especially with the 'personal grudges' of Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo, which is full of highlights.

Both sides of the game started from their hotel to prepare for departure, with helicopter aerial footage, playing boredom for the fans waiting in front of the TV.

There was still half an hour before the departure of the Chinese team, and the entrance of the hotel was already crowded.

However, fortunately, the quality of the Chinese people is very high now, and the daily operation of the hotel has not been affected under the guidance of the hotel security personnel.

Most of the Chinese fans who came here did not have tickets, so they had to find another way to come to the hotel where the Chinese team was staying and cheer for the soldiers of the national team in advance.

"Whoa—"

When the Chinese players came to the door from the hotel lobby, the Chinese fans who had been waiting for a long time suddenly couldn't hold back the excitement in their hearts and created a huge cheer.

The Chinese players led by Tang Zheng waved to the enthusiastic fans, and then patted the national emblem on their left chest, raised their arms, and made a military order to the fans, they must beat Portugal at the Fisht Olympic Stadium and advance to the World Cup semifinals!

Shao Shengyi, who was standing in the Beijing studio, looked at the scene given by the broadcast screen, and the whole person became excited and passionate: "We can see that there are a lot of fans who go to Russia to support the national team, and the players who are ready to go seem to be in excellent spirits! The quarter-finals in two hours will definitely beat the Portuguese national team! The ...... of advancing to the semi-finals of the World Cup in Russia in history."

Seeing the players come out, the enthusiastic fans naturally gave way to a road about three meters wide and let the players board the luxury bus depicting a five-clawed golden dragon.

I have to say that the Russian Organizing Committee has done a very good job in this World Cup, starting from the arrival of the Chinese team in Russia, the buses prepared by the official are full of symbolism, which invisibly increases the combat effectiveness of the Chinese team.

The dragon is a Chinese totem.

The sleeping dragon, on the land of Russia, has completely awakened!

In front of the enthusiastic fans, the players passing by will give high-fives to the fans who have outstretched their palms.

If it weren't for the tight schedule, the players would have been preparing to sign autographs and pose for photos with the enthusiastic fans.

Because...... These fans have paid too much, even if they don't have a match ticket, they don't hesitate to come to a strange city.

What is the picture?

Very simple!

It's just to cheer for your national team!

From the hotel to the Fisht Olympic Stadium, you can see Chinese fans holding five-star red flags on the way.

The Chinese players sitting in the bus felt a lot of emotion, and none of the players could rest peacefully along the way, all waving to the enthusiastic fans.

Since the draw with France in the first round of the group stage, the fans have spared no effort to cheer for the national team, as players, they know how to give back to the fans, and thank the fans for their support in the current big game.

"Whoa—"

In the past 30 minutes, the Chinese team drove into the Fisht Olympic Stadium by bus, and the Chinese fans, who had been waiting for a long time, broke out again into loud cheers.

Through the glass window, the energetic Chinese players kept waving and interacting with the fans.

I don't know if it was deliberately arranged by the organizing committee, but the bus taken by the Chinese team in the process of slow driving also arrived at the intersection of the outer roads of the stadium and entered the main road to the center of the stadium from both directions at the same time.

"Woooooooo

The Chinese fans, who have an absolute numerical advantage, subconsciously made a bad sound.

Tang Zheng, who was sitting on the right side of the bus, turned his head to look at it, and when he looked at it, he happened to be staring at Cristiano Ronaldo, who was sitting by the left window.

Compared with Cristiano Ronaldo's expressionless face, Tang Zheng took the initiative to grin, nodded his head to say hello, and then turned his head to continue to greet the enthusiastic Chinese fans.

Cristiano Ronaldo was half a beat slower, and by the time he wanted to demonstrate to Tang Zheng, it was too late.

At the same time, the aerial photography team captured this wonderful picture.

Shao Shengyi, the central 5 commentator in the Beijing studio, said with a smile: "Tang Zheng seems to be in a very good mood and took the initiative to greet Ronaldo, but Ronaldo looks very serious, obviously not as relaxed as Tang Zheng......

By the time Cristiano Ronaldo reacted, the two buses had diverted from the main road to their respective bus parking spaces.

Because the two teams go to different locker rooms, the roads to the locker rooms are naturally different.

※※※

The Fisht Olympic Stadium is the same as the Chinese team's last four games, with Chinese fans occupying half of the stadium, giving people a home atmosphere of the Chinese team.

However, because the main color of the Chinese team and the Portuguese team is red, from a distance, it is a little difficult to tell which fan area is Chinese fans and which fan area is Portuguese fans.

"Whoa—"

The players appeared at the Fisht Olympic Stadium, and a huge cheer erupted in the sky.

The TV announcer who accessed the live signal in advance wanted to see Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo, but it was a pity that the two did not seem to have any intention of communicating.

Instead, Portugal's Guerreiro and China's Yan Junling shook hands with their Borussia Dortmund team-mates, Andre Silva and Sun Jingbo's AC Milan team-mates.

At the end of the 40-minute warm-up time, players from both sides returned to their dressing rooms to make final preparations for the upcoming match.

The head coach of the Chinese team, Lippi, had already obtained Portugal's starting lineup before the players returned to the dressing room, and compared to the 1/8 finals, Portugal's starting lineup did not make any adjustments, so he only needed to repeat the game tactics arranged before the game.

Lippi left a lot of time for the players, and Tang Zheng, as the captain, suddenly realized that he should say something.

So, he coughed lightly, and his teammates immediately saluted.

Tang Zheng said bluntly: "After four years, we have come to the quarterfinals again, and the next step is the semi-finals, I think everyone here doesn't want to go home early like me, right?"

The players nodded subconsciously, and Tang Zheng continued with satisfaction: "The media thinks that we are on par with Portugal, evenly divided, and the chances of promotion are five or five, I don't think so." ”

At this point, he raised his right index finger and shook it twice: "In my opinion, we have a 100% chance ......of making the cut!"

Tang Zheng's voice changed suddenly: "However, we must be 100% committed to the game, otherwise the chance of promotion is infinitely close to zero!"

"I think everyone has understood what I mean, the knockout round is only promotion and elimination, and I have the same goal as everyone else, to advance! Don't forget that we are hundreds of millions of fans sitting in front of the TV waiting for us to triumph! The World Cup is not only for ourselves, but also for the fans, for the country, for the national honor! The next step is the semi-finals! Brothers! Do you have the confidence to beat Portugal??"

"Yes!"

Tang Zheng almost roared in the end, but his teammates were in high spirits under his instigation, and they were not affected in any way, but they were passionate, almost reflexive, and chanted very tacitly.

Although Lippi didn't understand Tang Zheng's words, he could probably guess what Tang Zheng said from the player's desire to fight.

Tang Zheng, as the captain, is really impeccable!

The Chinese team scored a total of eight goals from the group stage to the quarterfinals, of which Tang Zheng contributed six goals and one assist, and the remaining goal was also directly related to Tang Zheng, because it came from his planning.

In addition to the obvious contribution on the offensive end, the defensive end is even more dominant.

Tang Zheng, who will turn 29 in four months, has come to the end of his career, so Lippi is curious, how far can such a Tang Zheng lead the Chinese team?

Final four?

Final?

Still is...... Upset to become a champion?

Thinking of this, Lippi shook his head self-deprecatingly, not to mention that the Chinese team still has Portugal in front of them, which must be overcome, even if they advance to the semifinals, they will face England, which can be described as unlucky.

The Chinese team has Tang Zheng who claims to be able to beat any team, but football is a team sport after all.

Limited by the overall strength gap, it is very difficult to qualify for the finals.

With about 10 minutes to go, stadium staff knocked on the doors of the dressing rooms of both teams to remind the starters of both sides to get ready for the game.

The game was getting closer, and the players on both sides who appeared in the tunnel had heavy faces.

Compared to club competitions, the national team competition is sacred, and no one wants to lose to each other in this quarter-final.

The club teammates who were smiling in the warm-up before the game did not mean to communicate, but cheered each other on with their national team teammates.

Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo, who were concerned by the media, also did not communicate until the necessary guessing ceremony before the start of the game.
