At 21:30 on the evening of June 12, Beijing time, countless Chinese fans sat in front of the TV and watched the first game of the Chinese team in the World Cup jointly broadcast by CCTV 1 and CCTV 5.

Liu Jianhong and Zhang Lu sat in the broadcast studio, and they hosted the first 30 minutes and 15 minutes during the game. When it's really time for the game, you have to hand over the microphone to Huang Jianxiang, who is on the scene.

There is still half a point before the start of the game, and the ratings of one and five sets have begun to rise.

The backstage selected 10 cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, Shenyang, and Dalian for sub-channel statistics, and more than 86% of households in these 10 cities are watching the World Cup. Shenyang, Dalian and Beijing are even as high as 90%, which is enough to see the impact of football and the World Cup on China.

Two teams, one red and one blue, walked into the stadium amid the music, and many old fans of the national football team found out for the first time that the Chinese team was wearing a new team uniform.

As a sponsor, Adidas intends to design three sets of uniforms with red, white and blue colors for the Chinese team.

For example, in the red first jersey, each left chest is a reduced number, and the right shoulder has five irregular yellow stripes converging on the five-pointed star on the right chest, which looks very familiar.

The red and yellow jerseys with such distinct Chinese characteristics have attracted the attention of countless fans as soon as they are worn, and it seems that as long as the international players wear this jersey, they will become invincible!

Fans were surprised to find that although the thickened parts of the shoulders and limbs were black, the chest and the center of the back were still purple, just like Ou Chuliang made his first appearance on the stage for the Chinese team.

According to people familiar with the matter, purple was chosen by Ou Chuliang in order to give fans a sense of familiarity and intimacy.

On the sidelines of the pitch, Ladd was also wearing a red T-shirt. Red represents festivity, represents great fortune, and it seems that he has completely regarded himself as a Chinese.

"Oooo

A familiar prelude sounded, and Huang Jianxiang, who was still laughing with his peers around him just now, suddenly quickly took off the headphones on his head as if he had received some signal, and stood up with a serious expression.

"Hey! Huang, what's wrong with you? A little black from Africa on the side teased.

"He seems to be controlled by something, haha, like a terracotta army! Right? I know, the Terracotta Army is Chinese! Another commentator from Belgium burst out laughing.

Although everyone speaks English, Huang Jianxiang can also understand it. But at this time, Huang Jianxiang didn't show any annoyed expression on his face, and he didn't even pay attention to it. He's like a pilgrim, waiting for something.

At this moment, Sabang. The foreigners at the Del Mar Stadium were also surprised to find that the Chinese fans, who were originally cheering for the home team like them, also stood up at any time, as if waiting for something.

"Arise, you who do not want to be slaves..."

The song sounded, and the solemn March of the Volunteers was played on the stage of the World Cup for the first time. At this moment, 30,000 fans and 11 international players on the field stood solemnly and sang the national anthem in unison.

"It's spectacular!" The French commentator at the scene looked at the scene of the chorus of 10,000 people in disbelief, holding his bald head and exclaiming into the microphone: "Is this the Chinese from the East?" It seems that there is another spectacular scene with distinctive national characteristics in the World Cup! ”

Since the start of the World Cup, there has never been such a scene. Even when the national anthems of Spain and Argentina were played, none of the players sang along. The former has no lyrics at all, and the latter is simply because the prelude is too long.

In addition, due to ethnic and other reasons in some countries, some players do not recognize the local government or are simply foreign planning players, so in the performance of the national anthem, some people choose not to sing.

It is the first time since the World Cup was held that China and its fans sang the national anthem solemnly.

In world football, it is not uncommon for 10,000 people to sing together.

FOR EXAMPLE, THE RED ARMY LIVERPOOL OF THE ENGLISH PREMIERSHIP, WHENEVER THE RED ARMY PLAYS AT HOME, TENS OF THOUSANDS OF FANS WILL WAVE RED TOWELS, TEAM FLAGS AND OTHER OBJECTS IN THEIR HANDS, AND CHANT IN UNISON "YOU WILL NEVER WALK ALONE". And this is also the characteristic of Liverpool and the football world.

But today's Chinese team's chorus is different from Liverpool's!

All the Chinese who got up to sing in chorus stood straight in place, their hands on both sides of the trouser line, their heads held high, looking at the front at a 45-degree angle, their expressions solemn and solemn. During the chorus, it seems that everyone's spirit is immersed in an unforgettable history, and it seems that at this moment, everyone's soul merges.

The singing is loud, full of battlefield momentum, Shabang. The remaining more than 6,000 foreigners at the Dale Horse Stadium were silent. They were all affected by the sight, some out of respect, and some out of genuine suppression.

“... Forward, forward, forward! ”

Until the last word was sung, all the Chinese who participated in the chorus left two tears at the same time, and returned to the appearance of the fanatical fans before.

The big guy clapped his hands hard and clapped his hands red. Hug each other and encourage each other with the compatriots around you.

When Huang Jianxiang wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and sat down again, no one in the commentary seat said anything cold.

At this moment, foreigners once again saw the unity of the Chinese. I finally understand why their country is in civil strife for a long time, while China is rising rapidly!

To put it mildly, if there is a real fight, 30,000 Chinese on the scene will immediately occupy this stadium!

After the game, when the reporter asked what Ladd was doing at the time, Ladd sang a few words of the national anthem in Chinese in front of the reporter, indicating that he was not pretending to open his mouth at that time.

No one would denounce a foreign teacher for pretending to open his mouth when playing the national anthem, but Ladd really sang with the Chinese.

"Audience friends, everyone afternoon, oh no, it should be evening in China, good evening, everyone! I'm the narrator Huang Jianxiang! After connecting with the domestic line, Huang Jianxiang couldn't wait to get up.

"Hehe, hello Xiang, let's introduce the two sides of today's game." Zhang Lu handed over the "right to speak".

"It's 16:45 p.m. local time, 15 minutes before the start of the game. As you can see, the players of the Chinese team and the Italian team are warming up on the field, and from the mental outlook of the players, we still have a big chance of winning today. ”

After all, it is a live broadcast to fans across the country, and the word "failure" can no longer be said at this time.

"According to the local TV broadcast, the maximum temperature in Bordeaux today is 21 degrees, and the temperature may be lower in the afternoon, but it is also 18 or 9 degrees. The wind speed is about 0.3 meters per second, and the weather is sunny, which is about the same temperature as in the north of the country. ”

"In other words, our players will not be affected in terms of climate, and the Italians will not have any advantage."

"The referee of the game, Lucien. Bouchardo is from Niger, the two assistant referees and the fourth official are also from Paraguay and Greece respectively, and no one is from Asia or Europe, and the verdict will be relatively fair. ”

"Huh? General Van and Maldini had already guessed the coin, and it was Italy who served first. ”

As he spoke, General Fan had already shaken hands with Maldini and exchanged flags.

'We can see that the players from both sides are already in their respective halves and waiting for the referee to blow the whistle for the start of the game.

"Let's start with the starters on both sides."

"The Chinese team is in a 532 formation today, and the starting goalkeeper is our No. 20 youngster Ou Chuliang, who is currently playing for Napoli in Serie A!"

"The five guards are No. 2 Sun Jihai, No. 3 Zhang Jihua, No. 4 Xu Hong, No. 5 captain General Fan and No. 16 Wu Chengying."

"The three midfielders are No. 7 Ma Mingyu, No. 6 Li Tie and No. 8 Peng Weiguo."

"On the front line, Ladd sent a 'Zhang Su combination', No. 9 Zhang Yuli and No. 10 Su Maozhen played two sharp blades on the national football front, hoping to tear through the Italian defense."

"On the Italian side, the old coach Maldini lined up a 352 formation."

"The goalkeeper is No. 12 Pagliuca, who currently plays for Inter Milan."

The three defenders were No. 3 captain Paolo Maldini and No. 4 Fabio. Cannavaro and No. 5 Alessandro. Costa Kuta. ”

"The five midfielders are No. 6 Alessandro. Nesta, No. 9 Demetrio. Albertini, No. 11 Dino. Baggio, No. 15 Angelo. Di Livio and No. 16 Robert. Di Matteo. ”

"The two men up front are No. 18 Robert. Baggio and No. 21 Christian. Vieri. ”

"With the exception of Roberto Di Matteo, who plays for Chelsea in the Premier League, and Vieri, who plays for Atletico Madrid in La Liga, the other nine Italian players are from their home Serie A."

Speaking of this, Huang Jianxiang paused for a moment, and did not say the words that came to his mouth.

He wanted to say: In fact, the Chinese team is similar, except for Ou Chuliang, who plays in Serie A, the remaining ten players are all playing in the domestic A League...

Lucien blew the whistle and Italy kicked off first.

Since the attack was confirmed before the start of the game, Baggio and Vieri plunged into the Chinese team's defense after handing the ball to their teammates behind them.

This is the first meeting between the two sides in an international competition, although many Serie A players are already familiar with the purple-robed youngster in front of the Chinese team, but after all, the other players have not yet come into contact.

Zhang Yuxi and Su Maozhen teamed up to form the first line of defense for the Chinese team, and rushed towards Di Matteo who was holding the ball side by side.

Di Matteo didn't dare to be careless, and after handing the ball to Nesta, he also ran forward along the right corridor.

Nesta had the ball deep and plenty of time to observe his teammates in front of him.

When Zhang ran three meters in front of him, Nesta picked up his right leg and sent a long pass.

The ball crossed most of the pitch and landed on the left wing of the Chinese team, where the 1.85-meter-85 Vieira had been waiting for a long time.

The "Apennine tank" is the best interpretation of Vieri.

Vieri, who combines explosive power and impact, is like a heavy tank when he sprints to the ball in the front court, almost unstoppable.

Seeing the ball falling towards him in the air, Vieri was ready to stop the ball and turn to break through.

But just then, Vieri suddenly noticed a cold wind blowing behind him.

Years of experience on the pitch instantly made him understand what was happening behind him. In the next second, Vieri took a step forward, leaning over, ready to jump.

He can't stop the ball on his chest anymore!

In the camera, Wu Chengying, who was carrying No. 16 on her back, rushed to Vieri's side. If it weren't for Vieri's alertness, he would have been overtaken by him at this moment.

It was too late, and in the face of Nesta's long pass, the two jumped together.

Wu Chengying is 1.83 meters, and Vieri is 1.85 meters. Although there is a difference of two centimeters, Wu Chengying is a full ten pounds lighter than Vieri!

The difference of ten catties is enough for the skinny side to bounce back a distance of about one meter after hitting the other party!

But in the next second, the image in the center of the camera made fans around the world shut their mouths.

"Nesta's long pass..."

"Wu Chengying!"

Less than a minute after the opening, Huang Jianxiang's shouts came from Zhang Lu, Liu Jianhong and the headphones and playbacks of the CCTV director team.

The leader surnamed Wang wiped the sweat from his sideburns and pressed his hand against the broadcast director: "Xiao Zhang, let's lower our voice." ”

Xiao Zhang rolled his eyes, turned his head and motioned for the tuner to make two virtual gestures.

The loudness is due to the narrator's shouting, not the volume of the broadcast machine. If you turn down the voice here, what about Huang Jianxiang's usual broadcast voice?

Don't the fans still have to turn up the volume?

But except for the tuner, who flicked the button in vain, everyone else watched the live broadcast nervously.

Although he was ready to ferry the header, Vieri was ultimately unsuccessful.

He didn't even hit the ball!

In the shot, Wu Chengying, who was wearing a red robe, jumped high, stretched her neck diagonally behind Vieri, and was half a head taller than Vieri who jumped.

It was this half-head gap, the ball smashed on top of Wu Chengying's head and flew out of the sideline.

"Wow!"

Wu Chengying's header cleared the siege, which immediately attracted the cries of 30,000 fans at the scene.

You know, this is the first time that Chinese have touched the ball in the World Cup!

After the header was cleared, Wu Chengying, who collided with Vieri, was not bounced away, but pressed his back against Vieri, and both of them fell to the ground after rolling.

"Beep!"

The referee's whistle blows, and Italy's front field throws a throw-in.

It was just an ordinary struggle, and neither of them was injured.

Vieri patted the ash on his body and looked at the somewhat fat, pouting, and dark-faced Chinese player in front of him in surprise.

Who would have thought that a person with a baby face would fight so fiercely?

Vieri played cricket as a young man and also played rugby. This experience has made Vieri the physical strength he is today, and whether he is charging with the ball or playing off the ball, few people can squeeze Vieri out. In terms of headers and take-offs, Vieri is also much better than most.

But Vieri miscalculated.

He thought that with his body and bounce, he could ferry the ball header to his teammates, but Wu Chengying, who had run a distance, jumped higher and didn't even think about how to land before taking off.

Carelessly, Vieri was not only knocked out of position by the jumping Wu Chengying in the air, but the ball that fell overhead was also cleared out of the sideline by Wu Chengying.

Such a situation was not expected by all the fans who knew Vieri well.

The camera at the scene gave Wu Chengying a close-up for the first time, if you look closely, you can find that although Wu Chengying has a immature baby face, there is a murderous aura between his eyebrows.

Since Li Jinyu was selected for the national team, Wu Chengying has become more withdrawn and reticent in the team.

Now, even if Ou Chuliang talked to him, he couldn't get a few words of response from him for a long time.

Such a player still appears in the position of the main left-back of the national team, relying on his hard work!

It can be said that in today's national football team, no one can fight better than Wu Chengying!

"Good!"

"Beautiful!"

"The prince is good!" Li Jinyu shouted loudly.

IN FRONT OF THE SCREEN, SEVERAL YOUNG PLAYERS FROM LIAOZU GATHERED TOGETHER TO CALL FOR WU CHENGYING'S STEAL.

"Fight like the third prince!" Xu Liang dragged the text once.

"That's right, I just like Wu Chengying's hard work, it looks so cool!" Wang Xinxin on the side also responded again and again.

Zheng Zhi sat in this group of friends, staring at the screen with red eyes. He couldn't wait for the next second to spread his wings and come to Sabang like an angel. Dale Polo Stadium, shoveling the Italians on their backs.

Wu Chengying didn't expect that she could get so many fans by simply earning the top.

But his silent personality made him not react at all, still pursing his lips and following behind Vieri, who received the ball from his teammates.

Here is his defense zone, and he does not allow anyone to pass easily.

"A barking dog doesn't bite!"

Vieri looked at the young Chinese man, who was two years younger than him, and for the first time felt that it was difficult.

The ball was thrown, and before Vieri could catch it, he noticed that someone was being held up behind him.

To be conservative, Vieri blocked the ball directly with his chest and returned it to Dino, who threw the ball. Baggio, then running, hoping to get rid of Oh Sung-ying.

But before he could take a step, Wu Chengying had already killed from behind him, abandoning Vieri and killing Dino. Baggio.

Dino Baggio was also taken aback, and before he could stop the back pass on his teammate's chest, the opponent's Chinese striker had already shoveled it to his feet.

Caught off guard, Dino Baggio let go of Wu Chengying's leather feet. The latter's toe poked the ball out of bounds again.

Seeing this scene, a cold sweat suddenly broke out behind Vieri's back.

As the saying goes, the soft are afraid of the hard, the hard are afraid of the horizontal, and the horizontal is afraid of the dead.

Wu Chengying just looks at her face, which belongs to the last type.

This kind of defender is what a star like Vieri fears the most.

Why?

First of all, Vieri is a power striker, and his style and characteristics are to rampage and play with his body. Frequent physical contact is inevitable when facing opposing defences.

So for Vieri, if he doesn't rush to the team with defenders like Maldini, Cannavaro, and Bergomi, who is afraid of whom?

On the other hand, Maldini can only fight against him.

It seems that Wu Chengying and Maldini are in the same situation, but there is one biggest gap between the two is that Maldini is the captain of Milan, the captain of Italy, and the son of the elder Maldini.

Who is Wu Chengying TMD?

In this era of Ronaldo, Baggio, Zinedine Zidane, Vieri, Inzaghi, Batistuta and other stars, the best way for a nobody to become famous is to break the ball at the feet of these people and make these world-class superstars deflated!

A World Cup that has attracted worldwide attention can completely make an unknown unknown person become a world-class defensive master.

What they have to do is cut off the ball at the feet of these top strikers again and again.

So for these world-class strikers, what they fear most is this kind of unfathomable defender.

Spelled together, they became famous; If you don't fight well, you can lose both with yourself.

Just imagine, if the "Apennine tank" were blown up by an Eastern "wooden stick grenade", how much would it lose?

Even if the old Maldini still has top strikers such as Inzaghi, Piero, and Chiesa, for Vieri himself, the injury in the first game of the World Cup before he played much is definitely a devastating disaster!

At this moment, Vieri looked at Wu Chengying, who patted his ass again and stood up, and he retreated.

He did not ask for the ball again, but beckoned other teammates to plug in, and then took the initiative to come to the Chinese team's penalty area and wait for his teammates to pass the ball.

When a killer like Vieri entered the forbidden area, General Fan and Zhang Jihua leaned in for the first time. General Fan was not afraid to fight with the other party, so he bore the brunt of sticking to Vieri and firmly jamming the opponent.

Leaning on General Fan's sturdy body, Vieri turned his head to look at Ou Chuliang who was stepping on the line of the small forbidden area for some reason, and a strange thought suddenly popped up in his head: "If you really want to exchange money with the Chinese team, I won't suffer a loss if I exchange with him!" ”
