On June 30, local time in Russia, fans around the world should be most concerned about the first 18-final match of the World Cup in Russia between France and Argentina, but with Tang Zheng's tweet on his personal social networking site, the focus of fans has shifted, especially for Chinese fans.

The speed of transmission on the modern Internet is quite amazing, Tang Zheng tweeted in less than five minutes, and there have been hundreds of thousands of retweets and comments, and as time passes, more and more fans have joined in the retweets and comments.

Soon, some fans took out a selfie of Aguero with Boss Xi and Cameron when Boss Xi visited the UK three years ago, but it is obvious that the quality of Aguero's selfie is not as good as Tang Zheng, because Cameron has no way to compare with Putin in terms of international popularity and strong hardness.

In addition, Tang Zheng's selfie is not as restrained as Aguero, he is standing behind Boss Xi and Putin, and then taking a selfie with his hands around the shoulders of the two, giving people a feeling that he has a particularly good relationship with Boss Xi and Putin.

Just ask, there is a professional football player in this world who dares to take a picture on the shoulders of the heads of the two countries like this

Looking at the entire world football, there is only one Tang Zheng.

So before the start of the first World Cup 18 finals, Tang Zheng became the player that fans all over the world paid the most attention to.

Messi, Griezmann, Pogba, Higuain, Mascherano, Mbappe and other stars who are making the final preparations are very speechless, it stands to reason that they are the objects of most attention from fans all over the world, but no one expected that Tang Zheng would steal the limelight, and it is difficult to get the limelight back

In addition to the football world, people who pay attention to political current affairs have also developed a strong interest in it, which has made Tang Zheng more exposed.

However, when the popularity reaches the stage of Tang Zheng, there is no need to deliberately expose it, with the glory he has won in Real Madrid in recent years, he is the first person in world football today.

Whether you want to admit it or not, Tang Zheng is the best player in the world

At five o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, the first 18 finals of the 2018 World Cup in Russia kicked off at the Kazan Stadium, which is considered to be the most noteworthy contest in the 18 finals of this World Cup, because France and Argentina have won the World Cup in the history of the World Cup, and each World Cup has been rated as the favorite by major media.

France is the most valuable player in this World Cup, except for right-back Pavard, who is not well-known in Lille in Ligue 1, the other ten positions of the player are extremely well-known, and even outstanding in these positions.

Argentina was the runner-up of the last World Cup in Brazil, and the 23-man squad has not changed much compared with four years ago.

Messi was recognized as the No. 1 star in world football before Tang Zheng's rise, and his strength is at the top, and stars such as Aguero, Higuain, and Dybala are also strong contenders for the top scorers in their respective leagues, with super offensive firepower.

Only the lack of players with absolute quality in the midfield and backfield, especially the lack of a forward midfielder with excellent skills and vision at his feet, otherwise Argentina would have won the World Cup four years ago.

So much so that many Argentine media are sighing that if Tang Zheng, who could have been naturalized and served in River Plate, why not be afraid of the current France

Argentina is lacking a player like Tang Zheng that has caused Messi to be both a father and a mother.

After all, people's energy is limited, the organization needs Messi, and the goal also needs Messi, which is somewhat difficult for Messi to stand up after his age.

The 45,000-seat Kazan Stadium was packed, and with a long whistle from Iranian referee Fagani, the first 18-game final match of the World Cup in Russia between France and Argentina was officially opened.

Obviously, when the tournament comes to the knockout round, neither France nor Argentina can afford to lose.

Once you lose, it means out

Both sides of the game focused on defense in the early stages of the game, and the offense was tentative.

Compared to the group stage, the start of the knockout stage is relatively boring.

After all, this match is the first knockout match of this World Cup in Russia, and the attention of fans around the world is in the spotlight.

Messi, who was given high hopes by Argentine fans, was closely guarded by French fans, and they all knew that the core of Argentina's attack was Messi, and as long as Messi was prevented, nearly seventy percent of Argentina's offensive firepower would be resolved.

The French team also paid a lot of money to defend Messi, so that their attacking numbers were not enough to pose a direct threat to the Argentine defence.

When the French team targeted Messi, Argentina also closely guarded Griezmann, Mbappe and Pogba, and did not give them much time to think at all, so after ten minutes of the game, the two sides contributed few shots.

In addition to the Uruguayan and Spanish players who are making final preparations, almost all fans who follow the World Cup in Russia are watching the first 18 finals of the World Cup at the Kazan Stadium.

Tang Zheng and his teammates were the same, and returned to the hotel after the morning training on the field.

The players temporarily forgot the praise of Boss Xi in the morning, and their eyes focused on the LCD TV in front of them, which was more than 60 inches.

In the first ten minutes of the first half, both sides focused on defense, so there was almost no direct threat to the opponent's goal, until the twelfth minute of the first half, when a long-distance run by Mbappe caused a foul on Rojo in the penalty area, and the referee on duty Fagani blew a penalty for the first time.

The Argentine players thought that Mbappe faked a fall, so they were naturally not satisfied with the referee Fagani's decision, and Fagani had to run to the sidelines to watch the slow-motion replay.

After a number of slow-motion replays, Fagani insisted on the penalty and the penalty was undoubted

Antoine Griezmann, who took the penalty, managed to trick Armani and kick the ball towards the left side of the goal for the broadcast screen.

France, who had taken the lead, gradually relinquished possession and focused on counter-attacks.

However, Argentina's midfield is not well organized, and Messi needs to return to the midfield frequently to assist Banega and Perez in organizing the attack.

In addition, in order to give full play to all of Messi's abilities, Sampaoli did not send Aguero or Higuain in this game, so Messi, who is far away from the goal, has no way to directly threaten Lloris in the goal.

The stalemate lasted until the 41st minute, when Di Maria hit Banega's ball and blasted a world wave to help Argentina equalise

At the end of the first half, the score of the two sides was 11, and naturally they would not pin on another goal before the end of the first half, so the score of 11 continued until the end of the first half.

Tang Zheng, who was sitting in front of the TV, shook his head and sighed, Messi worked very hard in the first half, but he was thirty-one after all, and he was becoming more and more powerless in the face of Matuidi, Kante and Umtiti's rotational defense.

If nothing else, Argentina has a good chance of losing to France.

Fifteen minutes of half-time passed quickly, and Argentina made the first substitution before the start of the second half, replacing Rojo with Facio for a yellow card.

Yibian fought again, and no one thought that Argentina would overtake the score in the fourth minute of the second half

In the 49th minute, Di Maria's breakthrough helped Argentina get a free kick on the left side of the penalty area near the bottom line, Banega drove the ball to the back point, Pogba was not far away, the football was picked up by Messi, in the face of Matuidi's defense, Messi swayed left and right in the penalty area to find a left-footed shot opportunity.

The ball slipped between Matuidi, Raphael Varane and Paul Pogba, and the right-back Mercado, who had not had time to return from Messi's shooting route, subconsciously made a block, and the ball changed its trajectory and rolled against the turf into the right side of the goal.

12

However, the good times were short-lived, and Pavard, who was partly responsible for France's second goal, received a cross from left-back Lucas Hernandez outside the box and completed a very high-quality volley, and the ball hung into the top left corner of the goal.

22

The live director gave Messi a close-up shot that was pushed to his face, and as in the past half time, Messi had a calm face and was very serious,

But, more helplessly.

What made Messi even more helpless was that eight minutes later, Mbappe dunked the ball to the left side of the small penalty area in the scuffle in the penalty area, and fired a low left-footed shot to help the French team overtake the score

The game was fought by Argentina, and in the last four minutes, France took advantage of a quick counter-attack opportunity to extend the score with a low shot from the right side of the box by Mbappe.

42

Argentina, who are two goals down, have no choice and they have to attack.

France, who are two goals ahead, don't need to bother to score anymore, they just need to maintain their current score until full-time.

Messi's Argentina stepped up their attack, but the French team that faced the defensive recovery still didn't have much of a way, until injury time, Aguero received a pass from Messi in the middle of the attack in the penalty area and scored a header to chase the score to 34.

However, the third minute of stoppage time came and Argentina was running out

In the end, France defeated Argentina with two goals from Antoine Griezmann, Pavard and Mbappe43 to advance to the quarterfinals.

At the end of the game, Tang Zheng, who was sitting in front of the TV, was very helpless.

Messi didn't care about not working hard in the 90 minutes of the game, and he could even be said to be the hardest working player in the team, and two assists are the best evidence, but many times individual efforts cannot make up for the shortcomings of the whole team.

Messi's back to the live broadcast looks particularly lonely, Messi will be thirty-five years old in four years, and it is unknown whether he can be selected for the national team again, and his dream of winning the World Cup may only become an eternal regret.

Thinking of this, Tang Zheng shook his head and put the negative emotions in his mind, the 18th final tomorrow night at the Nizhny Novgorod Arena must be in the best condition, and at the same time motivate his teammates, and then defeat the stronger Croatia and advance to the quarterfinals

France beat Argentina to reach the quarter-finals, and the focus is shifting to Sochi, where Uruguay and Spain will play their second World Cup 18 final of the tournament at the Fisht Olympic Stadium.

Uruguay's last World Cup win was back in 1950, 68 years ago, and there is not much reference value, but Uruguay's overall style of play is very interesting, and with the combination of Suarez and Cavani, there is still a good chance of winning the game.

Spain last won the World Cup in South Africa in 2010, but they failed to qualify from the group at the World Cup in Brazil four years ago.

But after four years of recuperation, Spain, as a former World Cup champion, should not be underestimated.

So this 18-game final between Uruguay and Spain is full of highlights, and it is really difficult to predict who will win or lose.

However, in the seventh minute, Uruguay took the lead, Suarez broke through Alba on the left and sent in a clever cross, Carvajal was not tight on the mark, and Cavani nodded home from behind.

Spain, who had fallen behind in the ensuing game, stepped up their attack, but the leading Uruguayan defence did a very good job, so the score remained unchanged until the end of the first half.

Spain's equaliser came in the ninth minute of the second half, when David Silva took a tactical corner from the left flank, Isco sent a very precise pass, Diego Costa dipped a shot in the middle, took away Godin's defence, and Ramos, who was ambushed behind, scored with a header to equalize.

The two sides became cautious when they returned to the starting line, but the equaliser was in high spirits and bombarded Uruguay's defensive half, but Spain's successive attacks failed to produce a goal, but were replaced by a high-quality and quick counter-attack from Uruguay.

It was Cavani who scored the goal, and he scored again after receiving Suarez's ball from the left side of the penalty area and slotting directly into the far corner

It was the final goal of the game as Uruguay beat Spain 21 to advance to the quarter-finals, where they battled for a place in the semi-finals five days later with France, who had beaten Argentina.

Argentina and Spain went out one after another, and the fans, especially the Argentine fans, felt sorry.

Although Argentina's elimination is expected, there will be some emotion when it is actually eliminated.

Mbappe scored two goals and created a penalty, like Messi who shocked the world thirteen years ago, and Messi's lonely back is embarrassing.

But that's football, brutal modern warfare.

The 18-point final between China and Croatia was played in the evening of the next day, that is, at nine o'clock.

With half a day to go before the start of the game, a large number of Chinese fans gathered in the square around the Nizhny Novgorod Arena and near the hotel where the Chinese team stayed, and they gathered in groups to sing the national anthem and sing about the motherland, making the Russian land full of Chinese colors.

There is no doubt that the Chinese fans who came to Russia far exceeded the Croatian fans, so the number of Chinese fans in the stands of the 18th final at the Nizhny Novgorod Arena perfectly suppressed the number of Croatian fans.

Who makes the Chinese more?

Before the start of the match between China and Croatia, the 18th final between Russia and Portugal kicked off at the Luzhniki Stadium.

With goals from Andre Silva and Pepe, Portugal beat Russia 20.

In other words, Portugal's opponent in the 14 finals is the winner between China and Croatia, and Tang Zheng, who pays attention to the result, silently cheers himself up.

He must lead his national team to the quarter-finals and beat Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal

With Argentina eliminated from the tournament, the fateful battle between Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo is fascinating.
