Kazan Stadium. The match between China and Colombia will be held here, and the game will be held at 11 p.m. Beijing time, and China arrived at the stadium an hour and a half early, and many fans waited for the arrival of the players.

It's just that usually before this kind of big game, the players usually don't have much interaction with the fans, at most they just wave their hands, and as for autographs, players don't do that. Time was tight, they had to change their clothes, warm up, adapt to the venue, accept the tactical arrangements before the game, etc., so they didn't have time to spend here. Fortunately, these Chinese fans are also very sensible and did not pester the players, but when they saw their idols, they increased their decibels, for fear that they would not hear.

Once in the dressing room, the players quickly changed their clothes and went to the pitch to warm up. The Colombian players arrived a few minutes early, and when the Chinese team entered the stadium, they were just beginning to adapt to the field.

Most of the stands are full, and a few fans are entering the stadium one after another, and Wang Shihan and several other friends have also sat in their positions in advance. There are also Chen Hui and Shen Hao in the press box, who were the first to sit in the press box.

Zhang Shujie on the field simply moved a few times, passed to each other with his teammates, and then shot the ball towards the goal, but the ball hit the goalpost, Xu Ziyi followed up and hit the goal frame, Chen Zihua made up for the third kick, and the ball went in.

Ma Junqiang smiled and fished out the ball, if Zhang Shujie's first shot just now appeared in the game, he was at least seventy percent sure that he would be able to save, but now it was a warm-up, and he couldn't be so desperate.

Zhang Shujie didn't care about hitting the door frame twice, but what he didn't expect was that in less than 30 seconds, Zhao Wenkang and Li Mu's shots also hit the door frame one after another, which made Zhang Shujie feel a little bad. He wasn't a superstitious person, but he always felt that it wasn't a good sign.

After the warm-up, the players of the two teams walked into the locker room, An Rong's tactics are still passing, he knows that Colombia's game rhythm is never fast, it is a team with technical flow, if nothing else, Colombia will also play passing. An Rong doesn't need to defend and counterattack, nor does he need to press high, just play technology with Colombia.

He didn't say much in the dressing room, just told the players to pay more attention to a few people: "First of all, James Rodriguez, a top midfielder, passing, long shots, free kicks are all top-notch, but he is relatively slow and has a relatively weak ability to penetrate, as long as he freezes him in the front, his power is greatly reduced." Xu Zhixin, you play with him at Bayern, I believe you know this very well. ”

Xu Zhixin nodded and said, "Yes." ”

An Rong added: "However, Ronaldo is the core of Colombia, all tactics are around him, Pekerman will definitely find a way to recruit someone to cover him, so don't think that defending Ronaldo is very simple, you must not take it lightly." As for Falcao......"

An Rong frowned and said: "Falcao's performance in the club has been sluggish recently, but there is always a place for him in the national team, and he scored in the last round." Be careful at the back, he is the leading scorer in the history of the Colombian national team, and his ability is still there. ”

Without waiting for the players to reply, An Rong continued: "I won't say much about the attack in the midfield, you should know what you have to do in the game. ”

Several players nodded, in fact, as long as An Rong did not deliberately explain, then the team usually played according to the recent training. Especially offense!

Colombia took the match so seriously that it was almost like a final, and there was a tense atmosphere in the dressing room, with Pekerman saying: "Every player in the Chinese team is a very dangerous person, you have to be up to 12 points. In the game, we ask you to attack and defend all the way, only in this way can we have enough troops in attack and defense, you have to fight, you have to grab, at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, we have to use the number of people to win, and we can't give the Chinese team a chance to score, understand?"

"Understood!" the voices of the team members were very neat and loud, and it was clear that they were really killed and reborn.

********************

With a little time to go before the game started, the players of both teams walked out of the dressing room. There are also many players on both sides of the match who have worked together in the club, such as Zhao Wenkang, Huang Yu and Cuadrado who played for Juventus, and Baca also played for AC Milan with Zhang Shujie, Yan Tao and Chen Zihua, but now Baca has gone to La Liga Villarreal.

The players of the two teams followed several referees on duty out of the players' tunnel and walked to the court, after taking a group photo, playing the national anthem, and shaking hands, the captains of both sides picked sides, and it is worth mentioning that Ronaldo wore the armband of the Colombian captain, which shows that Pekerman further confirmed his core position.

In the first half, Ma Junqiang chose the ball, J Ronaldo chose the field, the players on both sides returned to their respective positions, and Zhang Shujie stood in the middle circle, waiting for the kickoff.

The atmosphere was not quite up yet, and the fans were waiting for the moment when the game started. He Wei and Xu Yang talked about some players without a stubble, mainly talking about Colombian players, because Chinese players are already very familiar to everyone, and there is no need for them to talk about them.

I only heard Xu Yang say: "This Falcao, since he left Atletico Madrid, he has been in a slump, and he has not been able to recover from several clubs, and the number of goals scored in a single season in the league has never reached double digits." ”

He Wei said: "That's right, this is indeed a strange thing, many people say that he should not have left Atletico in the first place. You see that Atletico Madrid is the third strongest team in La Liga after Real Madrid and Barcelona, and it is also a first-class team in Europe, which is very competitive. What did he go to Monaco for?

"This factor cannot be ruled out. He formed a contrast with J Ronaldo, J Ronaldo in Real Madrid except for the first season of excellent performance, the next two seasons were not reused, and then went to Bayern, at the beginning of the performance was average, with the arrival of Heynckes, J Ronaldo slowly played. ”

"People move the tree to die, Ronaldo is alive, Falcao has become tepid, but his performance in the national team is not bad, although it is not a top performance, but it is much better than the club. ”

When the two were talking here, the referee blew a whistle, Zhang Shujie knocked the ball to Xu Ziyi, Xu Ziyi passed Huang Yu again, and the game officially began.

With the referee's whistle, the second round of the 21st World Cup Group H group stage match between the Chinese team and Colombia began, wearing a red shirt and red shorts, attacking from right to left is the Chinese team, wearing a yellow shirt and white shorts, attacking from the left is the Colombian team. ”

Before He Wei finished the introduction, he found that the Colombian players seemed a little strange when facing the Chinese team that was preparing to attack.
