Chapter 36 Brazil bids farewell to the World Cup

At eight o'clock in the morning, the activity room was crammed with people.

Today's culture class made an exception for a day off.

Because, the upcoming World Cup match is of great concern to the people of all Brazil......

Brazil VS France!

Once, Brazil lost to France in the final with a number of talents such as Ronaldo. After that, although the two teams did not officially meet again, the Brazilian team was difficult to win.

Everyone is actually reluctant to say it, but I have to say that Brazil seems to be more afraid of the French team. In particular, it is the French team with Zinedine Zidane.

Now, Brazil, who have the world's No. 1 luxury squad, are facing France led by the elder Mazidane.

The people of Brazil are all holding up their energy!

"the French team! We must win four or five this time to relieve our anger!" shouted everyone in the activity room, and everyone seemed to be convinced that Brazil would eliminate France.

After a few big wins in previous games, Brazilian fans believe that Brazil is in shape.

Wu Qi still found a corner place to sit down, he didn't sit with his usual partner.

He didn't want to get involved in the "who's going to win" topic so as not to get beaten up by the crowd for saying something taboo.

Players from both sides came on and all the Brazilian players showed confidence. In their eyes, you can see the joy of being promoted.

It's game on!

After some testing between the two sides, the French team took the lead!

Watching the smooth attack of the French team and the passive defense of the Brazilian team, the sound in the activity room gradually became quieter.

Yes, throughout the first half, you can only see the French team constantly organizing attacks. It's unbelievable!

Before half-time, a tackle by Juan, the central defender of the Brazilian team, made all the partners present break out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, the referee only showed a yellow card.

Prior to this, Zidane's excellence left a deep impression on Wu Qi.

There are no strong muscles, no superior speed. Zidane used the most solid basic skills to tell the world how to deceive the opponent in the most reasonable way in the confrontation.

Zidane's deep eyes seemed to tell his opponent: "It's okay, if you catch up with me, I'll pass you again." ”

At the end of the first half, there was silence in the activity room.

The topic of "how many Brazil have to win" was still being hotly discussed just now, and now it has come to an abrupt end.

Emotionally speaking, Wu Qi does not want to see the Brazilian team so embarrassed. Brazil is the kingdom of football and has the title of "five-star Brazil". Ever since Wu Qi came into contact with football, he has admired many of the stars that have emerged in Brazilian history.

He didn't believe that Brazil, which had always been so strong, would be so passive and embarrassed when facing a French team that was not in its prime. On the other side, only Zidane and Henry can be regarded as first-line superstars, and everyone else seems to be blue-collar.

However, from a practical point of view, Wu Qi admires the French team again. Compared with Brazil, the French team is more united and has a more reasonable tactical arrangement. Brazil, on the other hand, seem to be too optimistic and have not planned a corresponding strategy against France.

"Wu!"

Wu Qi looked back, it was Mario.

"Tell me, who's going to win and who's going to lose?" said Mario, who walked over with a beer.

"Uh...... The probability of the French team winning is high. Wu Qi said in a low voice.

"I think so. Mario covered his mouth with his hand, learning Wu Qi's tone.

Wu Qi looked at Mario in surprise.

Mario was silent.

The second half begins!

The two teams exchanged venues, but France still had the upper hand.

The threat is still present in front of the Brazilian penalty area.

The deadlock was broken at the 60-minute mark.

Zidane's free-kick from the left is pinpointed in the back post area. Henry slapped the horse, arched his foot, and slotted the ball in. 1 to 0!!

In the activity room, there was silence.

Someone began to smash water glasses to vent their anger.

This scene is actually quite uncomfortable for Wu Qi.

Having been in Brazil for more than a year, he has a deep sense of belonging to this land, at least São Paulo.

The Brazilian team, which had been asleep for most of the half, began to recover.

After some manoeuvres, Brazil began to press frantically in an attempt to equalize.

"I had such an awareness just now, and now I don't have to make so much effort. Wu Qi thought secretly.

It is undeniable that on paper, Brazil is much stronger than France.

However, in the world of football, strength on paper has always been a reference only.

Zinedine Zidane at the master level, Premier League goalscorer Thierry Henry, supplemented by blue-collar defenders Patrick Vieira and Makelele, and Thuram at the back.

This is the most reasonable lineup, with both offense and defense, and a clear core.

Despite Brazil's massive counter-attack, there weren't many opportunities to actually threaten the goal. Moreover, most of the offense relied on the forced breakthrough of the superstar in the Brazilian team.

Although the strength of one-on-one is not as good as that of the opponent, the effective joint defense strategy of the French team has stubbornly choked the Brazilian team and kept them immobile at all.

At the end of the match, France defeated Brazil 1-0 to advance to the semi-finals.

The friends left happily.

"Match-fixing! must have been bought!" everyone vented their frustration in their hearts.

If Mario hadn't been there, I'm afraid that everyone might have smashed public goods.

Wu Qi doesn't think it's a match-fixing, everyone is unwilling to accept this reality, and they really can't find a reason.

The World Cup is a sacred peak that cannot be measured by money. Brazil are so close to the championship, who can buy them?

"How do you feel about watching this game?" Mario hasn't left yet.

"France were well prepared, they completely limited the Brazilian front. Therefore, throughout the game, Brazil was passively beaten. Is that right?" Wu Qi asked.

"You're right. ”

"But there's one thing you didn't mention, and that's Brazil's own problems. They are disagreed on the offensive end and ...... Ronaldo is out of form. In short, objective and subjective, all signs are not in favor of Brazil. Lose, in reason. Mario added.

"I think there is a problem with the coaches of the Brazilian team. Wu Qi said.

"Oh, what's the problem?" said Mario, eager to hear about it.

"There was no strict defense against Zidane, and the whole French team's attack came from Zidane. Brazil's own midfield is confined to the core. Wu Qi analyzed.

"What would you do if you were there?" asked Mario suddenly.

“……”

Wu Qi was asked, to be honest, he didn't know.

"Alright, don't think about it, let's go back and rest for a while. I still have a lot of tricky things to deal with. Mario turned and left.

"I can only fight to the end. Wu Qi said to himself.

"Wu Qi!" Sintani ran over, "You're still grinding! Go, play with me for two." Brazil lost today, not happy!"

"Okay, good ......" Wu Qi was pulled by his little friend to "relax".
