With the three long whistles of the referee on duty, the Chinese team finally lost to the Chilean team 1:2, but the result of this loss has already been guessed, after all, the Chilean national team ranks 14th in the international rankings, and China ranks 56th, with an obvious gap.

In addition, the overall strength gap between the two sides is very obvious, and losing is an inevitable result.

However, the losing Chinese team is not without merit, the defensive system is quite solid, and the defensive counterattack is impressive.

And Wu Sanshi's goal in the second half to narrow the score also let the Chinese people see the prospects of the Chinese team in the World Cup in Brazil, Tang Zheng's participation in the attack is very helpful to the frontcourt, and the assist of right-back Zhang Linpeng is also eye-catching.

Lu Liang, who had an impressive 2013-2014 season, is still looking for the best form, and if he can adjust to the best form, the Chinese team's two wide attacks will bring great surprises to the Chinese fans.

Because there are upsets in the World Cup, and there are many games in each World Cup, Chinese fans sitting in front of the TV have reason to believe that their national team can create miracles.

At the end of the game, Tang Zheng and Sanchez, the absolute core of the Chilean team, happily shook hands and hugged each other, chatting about the past game.

"Hey~ I finally won you once. Sanchez grinned.

Tang Zheng gave Sanchez a big roll of his eyes, and at the same time raised his right middle finger: "If we have the ability, we will fight to the death in the club!"

"Didn't you say it in advance? Sanchez ignored Tang Zheng's raised middle finger, patted Tang Zheng on the back, and said with a smile.

Tang Zheng naturally can't say that the overall strength of the national team is not as good as the Chilean national team, although this is true, but some words are not suitable for direct words, so he suddenly said: "I have been running in with the national team for too short a time this year, next time, next time we will play again at the national level, I will definitely win you, Mr. Alexis." ”

"Is it?" Sanchez knew that Tang Zheng's character was not admitting defeat, but he had absolute confidence in the Chilean national team, and he did not admit defeat on his lips, and said playfully: "I'm afraid that it will be your Chinese team that will lose when the time comes." ”

"Then we'll see, my good friend. Tang Zheng put his right hand on Sanchez's shoulder and said with a smile.

"Okay, no problem!"

Immediately, the two chatted about the World Cup again, and then returned to their respective teams.

At the regular press conference after the game, Sampaoli praised the team's performance, and also praised the Chinese coach Lippi as a very magical coach, and the upcoming World Cup in Brazil will definitely have a good result.

In addition, he also specially praised Tang Zheng's on-field performance, whether offensive or defensive, it is a notch higher than the players on the field.

Although Tang Zheng's ability has been recognized by the whole world, hearing the words of the opponent's head coach still makes Chinese domestic media reporters feel sincerely proud, and they are also full of confidence in the group stage of the World Cup that will start in a week.

The Chinese team played Ivory Coast in the first game, then Greece, and finally the seeded team Colombia, which means that the Chinese team can get enough points against Ivory Coast and Greece, even if they lose to Colombia in the final round, there is no problem......

Of course, this is the advice given by the Chinese media, and the specific choice of countermeasures depends on the decision of head coach Lippi and the players.

German media and Spanish media have paid attention to the Chinese team's pre-World Cup warm-up matches, because Tang Zheng has achieved great success in Dortmund and Real Madrid, and the overall strength of the Chinese team is weak and good, but Tang Zheng is super capable, and the German media and Spanish media have expectations for the Chinese team.

Can the capable Tang Zheng lead the Chinese team to stand out from the group stage of the World Cup!

Tang Zheng once was interviewed by the "Marca" newspaper before returning to China, and the reporter mentioned the Chinese team's World Cup goal, but Tang Zheng didn't think much about it at that time, and said directly: "Qualify from the group! That's right!

After all, most of the offensive players of the Chinese team are from the European League, Artemisia Junmin's status in Schalke 04 is unshakable, Lu Liang is the best newcomer in the Bundesliga in the past 2013-2014 season, and the German media "Bild" also believes that Lu Liang is likely to become the winner of the 2014 European Golden Boy Award.

Wu Sanshi's Basel can only be ranked at the end of the second-rate league in the European League, but Sheng's ability to participate in the Champions League every season is a good training opportunity for Basel's main striker Wu Sanshi.

Wu Sanshi, the two warm-up matches before the World Cup that has just ended, also showed good competitive condition, coupled with Tang Zheng's play, the Chinese team is really likely to qualify from Group C.

It's just that this result makes it a little difficult for the South Korean and Japanese media to accept, especially the South Korean domestic media that was 'made' by the Chinese team for the World Cup.

The whole Chinese team returned to the hotel, and the players replenished the energy they had consumed and then rested and fell asleep.

Lippi and his coaching staff went into overtime mode to discuss the final 23-man squad.

In fact, the main framework and substitute framework personnel have been determined a long time ago, and now it is the three redundant players to be eliminated, because the World Cup is about to kick off, and each national team must submit the final 23-man squad within the specified time.

Tomorrow at 12 o'clock in Brazil time is the deadline for the submission of the list set by FIFA.

Of course, there will be a substitution in the first 24 hours of each team's first match, but only if a player with a serious injury is unable to play, and it needs to be officially certified by FIFA, so as to stop the malicious act of some national teams to change the roster on an ad hoc basis.

The next day, at 12 o'clock at noon in Brazil, the 23-member roster officially submitted by the Chinese team in advance appeared in the recommendation column on the homepage of the FIFA official website like the other 31 participating teams.

Soon, the server of the official FIFA website was instantly overcrowded, because there were so many requests from China that the server was not enough.

China's 23-man squad for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil:

Goalkeepers (GK): Yan Junling (GB Dortmund), Wang Xiaolei (CSL Shandong Luneng), Zeng Cheng (CSL Guangzhou Evergrande)

Defenders (DF): Zhang Linpeng (PL Porto), Feng Xiaoting (CSL Guangzhou Evergrande), Jiang Zhipeng (CSL Guangzhou Fuli), Ren Hang (CSL Jiangsu Shuntian), Li Xuepeng (CSL Guangzhou Evergrande), Zheng Zheng (CSL Shandong Luneng), Liu Jian (CSL Guangzhou Evergrande)

Midfielders (MF): Tang Zheng (SPD, Real Madrid), Hao Junmin (GB Schalke 04), Zheng Zhi (CSL, Guangzhou Evergrande), Wu Xi (CSL, Jiangsu Shuntian), Liao Lisheng (CSL, Guangzhou Evergrande), Cai Huikang (CSL, Shanghai Shanggang), Zhang Xizhe (CSL, Beijing Guoan), Cao Yunding (CSL, Shanghai Mythology)

Forwards (F): Lu Liang (CB Dortmund), Wu Sanshi (SSL Basel), Sun Jingbo (SDB, Barcelona B Team), Gao Lin (CSL, Guangzhou Evergrande), Yu Chao (CSL, Dalian Albin)

In this list, the most famous is Tang Zheng, the core of the midfield who plays for Real Madrid, followed by Hao Junmin, who played for Schalke 04 for three and a half seasons.

The largest contributor to the international team is the current Chinese Super League giants Guangzhou Evergrande, with seven players elected.

It was followed by Jiangsu Shuntian and Shandong Luneng, with two players selected each.

Zhao Xuri, Yu Xiaobao, Yang Xu and Sun Ke, who were previously optimistic, unfortunately lost the election, and the lucky ones were Cai Huikang, Liao Lisheng and Sun Jingbo.

Especially Liao Lisheng and Sun Jingbo, Liao Lisheng only made his debut in the Guangzhou Evergrande League in October last year, and successfully entered the eyes of head coach Lippi with his amazing performance in the group stage of the Chinese Super League and the AFC Champions League in the first half of this year, and took the last train of the World Cup.

Born in May 1996, Sun Jingbo has just turned 18 years old and is the youngest player except for Lu Liang, but he is very big, from the La Masia academy, and is the main right winger of Barcelona B in the 2013-2014 La B season.

In the past 2013-2014 La B season, Barcelona B team was able to finish third, which is directly related to Sun Jingbo's excellent performance, and Barcelona fans even called him the Chinese Messi.

But in addition to Sun Jingbo's technical characteristics are similar to Messi, the others are different, the most obvious is the height, Sun Jingbo is 1.82 meters.

Sun Jingbo is said to be the lucky one because he did not have any appearance record in the warm-up matches of the Chinese team.

However, thinking of Sun Jingbo's excellent resume, except for a few fans who are depressed and dissatisfied with Sun Jingbo's replacement of Yu Xiaobao, Sun Ke or Yang Xu, most fans are still quite optimistic about the young Sun Jingbo, after all, he can become the main winger of the third place in the West League at a young age, which in itself shows that his ability is very strong.

Eighteen-year-old Sun Jingbo may not be able to play at the World Cup in Brazil, but what about the Asian Cup in Australia next January?

What about the World Cup in Russia in four years?

At the same time, the Chinese men's football team took a flight from Santiago, the capital of Chile, to Recife, the fifth largest city in Brazil and the largest city in northeastern Brazil, to face the first opponent of Group C, Ivory Coast, at 9 p.m. local time on June 14.

※※※

The Chinese team arrived in the Brazilian city of Recife, and the Chinese domestic media and fans are still discussing the 23-man squad of the Chinese team for the World Cup.

The Cantonese media didn't react much, Zhao Xuri's current state is a bit obvious, Liao Lisheng is young and has potential, replacing Zhao Xuri will not affect Guangzhou Evergrande's contribution to the national team anyway, but the Liaoning media are very angry about Yu Xiaobao and Yang Xu's failure to participate in the World Cup squad.

Liaoning media believes that Yu Xiaobao and Yang Xu are the kind of star players who can change the outcome of the game, especially Yang Xu, he and Yu Chao are very good partners, and Yang Xu should be brought with Yu Chao.

However, most of the domestic media praised Mr. Lippi's final choice, Yang Xu and Yu Xiaobao are indeed top strikers in the Chinese Super League, but looking at World Cup-level players, Sun Jing, the main right winger of Barcelona B team, is not better than them?

Besides, even if Yu Xiaobao and Yang Xu enter the World Cup squad, in terms of position, it is impossible for them to get the opportunity to start, even if it is difficult to substitute.

Sun Jingbo is young, has quality, needs more experience in major tournaments, and feels the frenzied atmosphere of the quadrennial World Cup, which will be very helpful for his future career......

Domestic media and fans are arguing on the Internet, and the whole Chinese team has entered the most critical period of preparation.

Richmond has a wealth of experience, especially in the national team, having led Italy to World Cup triumph in 2006, and his experience is very important for the Chinese team that is now representing Asia at the World Cup.

Tang Zheng has rich experience in the game, and won the Champions League twice at the age of 24, but the World Cup is different from the Champions League, and it can even be said that it is two concepts.

First of all, the World Cup is held every four years, and you have to participate in the qualifiers of your continent.

The Champions League is different, Tang Zheng did not enter the top four of the league during his time at Dortmund in 2009-2010 and missed the Champions League seat, and the next three seasons were all German league champions, and the Champions League seats followed.

Joining Real Madrid in the summer of 2013, Real Madrid themselves play an important role in La Liga, earning a place in the Champions League every season.

In other words, whether it is Dortmund or Real Madrid, they are eligible to participate directly.

The World Cup needs to go through several stages of qualifying before it can emerge from the continents.

The strong contenders for the Champions League title are all giant-level teams, and the same characteristic of the big teams is that they have money in their pockets and can buy quality stars.

The World Cup is impossible, and even naturalization is restricted by FIFA regulations.

Therefore, the team participating in the World Cup depends on the overall football level of a country, and the higher the level, the higher the chance of winning the World Cup.

Of course, there are no absolutes.

Just like the Danish mythology and Greek mythology of the European Championship back then, accidents would happen.

It's not that the Chinese team will be able to miraculously win the World Cup under the leadership of Lippi, but Lippi's experience and coaching ability can make the overall strength of the current Chinese team go to the next level, and then stand out from Group C and get a place in the top 16.

The Chinese team was preparing for the group stage of the World Cup in Recife, and a large number of domestic media in China gathered outside the training ground, so that many foreign media could not find a place.

It can be seen how much attention is paid to the Chinese team's participation in the quadrennial World Cup.

However, as the official partner media of FIFA, Yang 5 has special treatment, in addition to the official arrangement of the shooting and interview time, they can usually shoot at close range with the consent of the national team in training, and the first-hand materials obtained are naturally incomparable with other domestic media.

Therefore, many domestic fans pay attention to the recent preparations of the national team before the World Cup in Brazil, and then pay attention to the central 5, and then other online media reports.

The Chinese team's first opponent, Côte d'Ivoire, is also the focus of the Chinese media.

Some fans once ridiculed the Chinese media as spies for other teams, because the Chinese media always study the Chinese team's technical and tactical play before the competition, and the opponent has to do very simple, as long as you buy a few football newspapers in China, the Chinese team's tactics will become extremely transparent.

Although the ridicule of these words is very strong, it is not unreasonable, and the domestic media have gradually woken up to the fact that they are now getting closer and closer to the first round of the group stage of the Chinese World Cup, and they want to play a role in assisting the national team in studying the opponent.
