"The Star's Wives Group" was published, which caused a lot of heated discussions among fans. It's not bad to be able to rely on this way to get eyeballs before the game starts. And in every way, there is no invasion of the player's privacy. Even Wang Shihan and others couldn't cry or laugh after seeing it, they rarely appeared in news magazines in their lives, but they were noticed by people during the World Cup in this way.

However, the players don't have time to bother with these things. Tomorrow's opening match is about to start, because it has little to do with the Chinese team, An Rong continues to train, even if there is the so-called opening ceremony, but I personally know that the excitement of the World Cup is not in the opening ceremony at all, the game is the focus, which is fundamentally different from the Olympic Games.

However, An Rong will still let all the players watch the opening ceremony and the opening game, especially the opening game, although it is unlikely that the two teams will meet the Chinese team in the knockout round, but whether it is a player or a coach, watching other people's games can always learn something.

Today is mainly a technical and tactical exercise, An Rong did not arrange very special tactics, he is not like other teams, making a big fuss in set-pieces. With Zhao Wenkang here, any set-piece tactics are not as direct as his long kick, which is one of the big killers in the Chinese team's attack.

Although there are many technical players in the team, An Rong still likes to break fast, use the fastest speed to hit the ball to the opponent's backcourt, and then solve the battle. In this regard, he and Inzaghi still have some similarities, they both don't like to play slowly at the back, but try to raise the tempo of the game as much as possible.

An Rong stood on the sidelines, discussing something with Song Weifeng, the first round of training of the players had ended, and many players were drinking water to replenish some water. There are also players talking to each other, and judging by their expressions, it is still very relaxed.

"An Zhi, you really don't plan to do more about the tactics according to the previous ones?" Song Weifeng asked An Rong.

An Rong said: "No need. Nothing changes, no matter how much Sun Monkey changes, he still can't hide his monkey tail. And for our Chinese team, I believe that every opponent knows it very well, no matter how I change, the opponent will come up with a thousand ways to deal with it. You know, the reason why a star is a star is that sometimes in the game you have to rely on their individual ability to decide something. ”

There was still some agreement with these words, and An Rong said: "My team is united, tacit understanding, and has a high degree of cooperation, which are my magic weapons to win." It is better to get them to accept a new thing in such a short period of time than to practice what they have used before. ”

Song Weifeng said: "That's fine." This group of players is really worth looking forward to. ”

An Rong looked at the time with a smile, and then whistled: "The rest time is over, now, group training!"

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

No one knows who will win this World Cup, but they can roughly guess which teams will be born. From the birth of the World Cup to the present, all the champions have been produced in South America and Europe, and the popular teams are also on two continents, but this year is different, the Chinese team was born, and everything has changed.

It remains to be seen whether the Chinese team will be able to break the pattern of South America and Europe in the World Cup, but there is certainly little hope for the two teams they met in the opening game.

The opening ceremony of the World Cup is usually not spectacular, and the host country will not be stupid enough to put his mind on the opening ceremony. In this World Cup in Russia, the opening ceremony was basically no highlights, probably the only thing that could be regarded as brilliant was that the organizers made the flags of the 32 participating countries in the shape of football and appeared in the Luzhniki stadium, but other than that, it looked dull in other aspects.

In addition, the appearance of Russian President Vladimir Putin is not a surprise, and the country's top leader will be present regardless of the country in which the World Cup is held, so this is also expected.

After the opening ceremony, it was the opening match.

As the hosts, Russia also don't have much ambition, they will first try to qualify from the group and then advance to the quarter-finals. As for the top four, they don't dare to think about it. But if they have that good fortune, they don't mind taking a place in the last four, and if they have a better fortune, they are happy to win the World Cup, although the possibility is almost zero.

Their opponent, Saudi Arabia, is also hoping to qualify from the group, and basically, this is the limit of Saudi Arabia. You must know that there is a strong team like Uruguay in Group A, and there is no suspense for Uruguay to qualify, Saudi Arabia must fight with Russia and Egypt, so Saudi Arabia can't lose this first game.

The game will be played at 11 p.m. Beijing time, which is not the golden time for fans, but it is not too late. Although these two teams are not giants and do not have any big-name stars, because it is the opening game, they still receive relatively high attention, and there are more people watching it.

The whole team of the Chinese team watched the game in the hotel conference room, some people watched it very seriously, some people were a little distracted, and even worse, they fell asleep while watching.

Ma Junqiang poked Yan Tao beside him with his elbow and whispered, "What are you doing?

Yan Tao wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and said softly: "This game is too dull. You see, I've been playing for more than an hour, not to mention scoring, and I haven't played a few times. ”

Ma Junqiang also admitted that the game was really not exciting enough, and the number of shots on goal by both teams could be counted with one hand. He looked at the other opponents around him, Huang Yu was bowing his head and playing with his phone, Tang Ling happened to yawn, and Zhang Shujie and Li Mu were also whispering something.

Ma Junqiang sighed, An Rong must have seen this face, but he just didn't want to break it.

The game lasted more than 70 minutes, and finally, in the 73rd minute, Russia rewrote the score to 1:0, and it was the main scorer of last year's Confederations Cup: Smolov who scored for them. It was also the first goal of this World Cup.

At this time, I only heard Zhao Wenkang say in a low voice: "I finally had a shot that hit the goal, and I didn't expect to score." ”

Liang Xiran said: "That's right, this should be the sixth shot of the game between the two teams." ”

After conceding the goal, Saudi Arabia organized some counterattacks, but due to limited strength, they could not knock on the door of Russia. Smolov's goal was the only goal of the game as Russia got off to a flying start with a 1-0 win over Saudi Arabia.
