Chapter 569: The World Cup Opens
The opening match of the World Cup will be played at 4 a.m. Beijing time on Friday, June 13 at the Corinthians Arena in São Paulo, between hosts Brazil and Croatia, and the opening ceremony will also be held before the match. Due to the special nature of the opening ceremony, all full-time reporters, including Chen Hui and Shen Hao, who were identified as accompanying the Chinese team, will also appear in the press booth.
After the opening match, Chen Hui and Shen Hao will follow the Chinese team throughout the whole process, and will not report on other events, except for one game - the final!
Regardless of whether the Chinese team can enter the final or not, all reporters will cover the game at that time, and if they don't even report on the World Cup final, then what is the point of this football reporter's doing?
At 2:15 a.m. Beijing time on June 13, the 20th World Cup in the history of world football opened on time at the Corinthians Stadium.
The opening ceremony can be roughly divided into three parts: nature, humans and football. Latin diva Jenverie López, American rapper Peter Paul and Brazilian singer Claudia Letty sang the world theme song "eaReone", followed by Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff at the opening ceremony.
The first part of the opening ceremony was the welcome ceremony, the Brazilian Football Federation welcomed fans from all over the world to focus on Brazil and pay attention to the World Cup, in this session, the Brazilians showed a lot of local characteristic plants, which symbolized the vitality of nature is well reflected, and at the same time, the large round ball in the middle of the stadium also shows the exhibition process of the earth, this unique design makes people shine and feel very novel.
The second part is mainly dance music, with live performers dancing samba and of course other dance performances, among which the capoeira, known as the Brazilian war dance, is an important part of the dance that originated in Africa but blends with the local Brazilian culture, which combines martial arts and music, and is considered one of the symbols of Brazil. In addition, the tumbler dolls that appeared on the site are handicrafts that symbolize black women, a fight against racial discrimination that is now a symbol of tourism in northeastern Brazil.
Sixty-four children with 32 teams entered the centre of the pitch to perform, and soon after, a giant Brazilian flag entered the stadium and a paralyzed Brazilian youth would kick off the opening ceremony of the World Cup. The reason why the young man named Pinto is still able to move is a "exoskeleton" robot system developed by scientists from many countries, which can help the paralyzed young man realize his desire to stand and walk according to the signals from the brain.
The opening ceremony of the World Cup is different from the Olympic Games, there is not so complicated opening, in just half an hour, a total of 6oo actors performed a variety of performances, showing almost all the important cultural and elements of Brazil, this can be regarded as a successful opening ceremony, as Artistic Director Cornes said: "This opening ceremony is a tribute to Brazil, especially to the country's football culture and terroir!"
This is the end of the opening ceremony, and the next thing will be the scene that all fans around the world are looking forward to: the opening match of the World Cup!
One of the biggest differences between this World Cup and previous ones is that the captains of the two teams will declare a truce to the world before the start of the tournament!
War has brought so much pain to people, and in this world, no one wants war, and at all times, peace is the eternal theme. Only by ceasing war forever can humanity be better developed.
Brazil, as the hosts, is of course aiming for a sixth world title in the team's history, and Croatia, as Brazil's first opponent on the road to the championship, the Samba Army will definitely win them.
Before the start of the game, the national anthems of the two countries were played, and tens of thousands of fans at the Corinthians Stadium sang the Brazilian national anthem, and the huge momentum made many Brazilian internationals cry. The two teams have met twice in their history, in the special stage on 17 August 2oo5 and in the group stage of the 2oo6 World Cup. In the first game, the two sides drew 1:1, and in the second game, Brazil won 1:O, and the winner was scored by the idol of countless Brazilians: Kaka.
Just 46 seconds into the game, Croatian midfielder Mateo Kovacic had his first shot of the tournament, and in the fifth minute, Jorlu bumped into Hulk, causing the second foul of the tournament.
The goal came in the 11th minute, Croatia attacked on the side, Olic broke through and passed a low ball to the goal, Jelavic outflanked the ball, and Marcelo, who defended at the back point, stretched out his foot and kicked the ball into his own goal, Croatia led Brazil 1:O.
Probably everyone didn't expect that the first goal of this World Cup would be an own goal, and Marcelo was also confused, and he didn't seem to have eased up.
However, the mighty Brazil also equalized in the 29th minute through Neymar. This is the first time in 12 years that a Brazilian player wearing the number 1o shirt has scored in a World Cup, and it is also the 32nd goal scored by Neymar for the Brazilian national team, rising to the ninth highest scorer in the history of the national team.
The two sides drew 1:1 in the first half, and the first fifteen minutes of the second half were relatively dull and lacked bright spots, but in the 69th minute, Croatian defender Lovren pulled Fred in his own penalty area, and the referee decisively blew a penalty, Neymar took the penalty and hit the penalty, and the Brazilian team reversed the score 2:1.
In the 73rd minute, Croatia crossed the ball in front of goal on the counter-attack, and Luis almost made the mistake that Marcelo had made when he cleared the ball, and almost gave the Brazilian pair a second own goal. In the 88th minute, Brazil coach Scolari replaced goal-scorer Neymar with Gustavo, and three minutes later, Oscar scored Brazil's third goal to seal the win for the Samba Army.
Despite conceding an opening goal, Brazil won the opening game with a brace from Neymar and a goal from Oscar to win the opening game. They can take a good rest and prepare for the second game in a relaxed mood. Croatia is going to be in trouble, having already lost the first game, and if they can't win the second game, then it can basically be said that they will say goodbye to Brazil.
This match is also the only match of the day, and the next day, June 14, there will be three matches: Mexico vs Cameroon in Group A, Spain vs Netherlands in Group B, and Chile vs Japan in Group B. The match of the Chinese team starts at 6 a.m. Beijing time on June 15, and the opponent is Greece!
