China's second match was played at 7 p.m. local time on June 19 in Brazil, during which there were more than a dozen games to be played, including Colombia and Greece on the same day.

China are watching the outcome of this match, with the whole team hoping that Greece will cause some problems for Colombia, although this seems a bit unrealistic. Facts also proved that Greece was not Colombia's opponent at all, and in this strong match, the powerful Colombia defeated Greece 4:1 with goals from Cuadrado and Martinez with Rodriguez, in which Martinez scored twice.

Colombia, who won both games, scored seven goals and conceded only one, advancing to the round of 16 one round ahead of schedule. Before the start of the World Cup, no one could have expected Colombia to be so smooth without Falcao, but the young players such as Rodriguez showed people the strength of this South American eagle, and some even speculated that Colombia could become the biggest dark horse of this World Cup!

Some laughed and some cried, Greece, which lost two rounds in a row, had to announce that it was out early, and they could only fight for honor in the remaining round of the group stage. Chinese fans and reporters have their eyes on the Chinese team, and if the Chinese team can beat Ivory Coast in this round, then it will also advance to the round of 16 like Colombia. At the same time, in this round, Ma Junqiang will face his teammate in the club: Yaya Toure!

Natal, June 18, local time in Brazil.

It is an important seaport in the northeast of Brazil, the capital of Rio Grande do Norte, and it is also the closest city in South America to the Big 6 in Africa, and has the reputation of "Sunshine City".

The match between China and Ivory Coast was played at the city's Dune Stadium, where the two managers held a press conference the day before the match. It was at this time that Ramsey appeared that the Chinese who came to the training base in Côte d'Ivoire a few days ago to "peep" were not journalists, but the head coach of the Chinese national team.

Thinking of this, Ramsey suddenly had a very bad feeling.

At the meeting, An Rong told the invited reporters: "Many domestic fans and media are looking forward to us beating Côte d'Ivoire so that we can determine the place in the round of 16. I think Ivory Coast will be looking to beat us as well, because they have to win to keep their hopes of qualifying. We weren't that easy to knock down and Ivory Coast was not easy to play against, but the three points were something we had to fight for. ”

"May I ask An Zhi, the formation you have used in training in the past few days is mostly 442, are you going to change this formation in this game? The 433 Chinese team in the last game used it very well, don't you plan to use this formation?"

"There are many formations in football, but the formations are all dead, but the people are alive. Very few coaches will use a set of formations to the end, there will always be some changes, depending on the opponent, with different playing styles. I would also like to say that you don't need to pay too much attention to the formation, there is no formation that will improve the ability of the players, the key is the performance of the 11 players on the field. ”

Ivory Coast coach Aaron Ramsey said: "If you only look at the strength of the cards, then the Chinese team should be one of the strong teams in the World Cup, and they won the first game, and the situation is good for them. We're different, and if we lose this game, then the rest of our game is meaningless. ”

Chen Hui wanted to ask, but the first person next to him stood up and asked, "You mean that your team can defeat the Chinese team?"

Ramsey looked at this yellow-skinned and black-headed Chinese reporter, and knew that he must be Chinese without guessing: "I think we have this ability, but whether we can win or not, I don't count, my players' swings on the field and the swings of Chinese players are crucial!"

The press conference lasted about an hour, and the two managers shook hands symbolically before parting. After this parting, the two will have to wait until the next day to meet, and at that time, the two managers will definitely fight each other in the dugout to see who has the higher "spell".

At 5 p.m. on 19 June, the Chinese players had a simple dinner and boarded the bus to the Dune Stadium.

Upon arrival, the Chinese players stepped out of the bus surrounded by countless Chinese fans and Chinese journalists, who heard the fans chanting their names and all the players were loved by the players, even though many of the substitutes had not yet played.

In the eyes of the fans, they are part of the national team, and even if they haven't played for a minute, they have trained hard and waited silently for their chance.

As before the start of the previous game, the players changed in the dressing room and then went to warm up on the pitch, with the Ivory Coast players at the other end of the pitch. The stands were already full, and there was no vacancy in the crowd, so Wang Shihan sat with Zhou Ying and Ye Xiaotong, chatting and waiting for the game to start.

Chen Hui and Shen Hao are also preparing "equipment", such as binoculars, notebooks, etc., as well as Liu Fang on the sidelines, and the camera has been pointed at the Chinese players who are warming up.

In the CCTV studio, Liu Jianhong and Zhang 6 are predicting what may happen in this game. Zhang 6 said: "Judging from An Rong's training in recent days, 442 is basically no suspense, Ivory Coast is still 4231, and according to different situations on the field, it can also be changed to 433." For the Chinese team, An Rong should want to win steadily, so he replaced the last 433 from the 442 with a more balanced offense and defense, and maybe An Rong felt that Xiao Feng could be sharper than Liu Jianwei in the counterattack, so he set the formation to 442. ”

Liu Jianhong nodded and said, "Then Director Zhang, do you think Xiao Feng must be better than Liu Jianwei?"

"It's hard to say this question, both of them have their own advantages. In fact, in the current Chinese team, everyone can guess ten of the eleven main players, only the remaining one is not very sure, I think An Rong himself is probably still a little hesitant, whether it is Xiao Feng or Liu Jianwei, this is a problem for him, and it is also the only shortcoming of the Chinese team now. We note that in the list of the Chinese team this time, there is a young man named Xu Zhixin, who is only eighteen years old, and he also stood out from the high school league. I've also learned a little bit about him before, it's very comprehensive, wingers, full-backs, and central midfielders can all play, and it's a bit of a panacea. The current world football needs players to show in many aspects, so I guess An Rong should want him to see the world first, which will be beneficial to his future exhibition in Europe. ”

"Well, Director Zhang has a point. There are about 40 minutes left before the start of the game, and the players have already left the pitch and gone to the dressing room, ready to receive the instructions and arrangements given to them by the manager at the last minute!"
