Rustenburg is a very small city, and its name means 'town of rest' in Dutch. Visitors to this place will always stop in the Rustenburg sunshine, where time is so slow that it seems to forget that it has passed.

Located in the northwest of South Africa, the city of Rustenburg is not only a well-known tourist destination, but also known as a 'paradise', and has hosted five consecutive Miss World beauty pageants.

On June 11, 2010, the tranquility of Rustenburg was shattered and the Chinese national team arrived.

With Deng Bangxiang's fallen leaf goal, the Chinese team won a historic 1:0 victory over the French national team in Reunion Island four days ago, although it was only a very informal friendly match, but it was enough to go down in the history of the Chinese team.

In that game, Zhuo Yang was replaced by Rong Hao in the 75th minute, but the French team still had no way to take the Chinese team, and they could only scratch their boots if they didn't stop attacking. The 17-to-6 shooting ratio in the whole game was far less shocking than the 0:1 on the scoreboard.

In the next two days, both the Chinese and French teams continued to prepare for the game on Reunion Island, and Zhuo Yang took time to break into the French team's residence to relieve Scar. The war is coming, and there must be no recurrence, and in a team that can't bring everyone to their hearts, it is not a derogatory term to protect one's life. Take care of yourself and do your own thing, and you will be very good. Leave the rest to your God.

I don't know if Scar listened to it, anyway, Zhuo Yang felt that the French team was very hung this time, and it was hanging to death.

.

After coming out of Réunion, Zhuo Yang and the Chinese team first went to Durban, a city on the eastern coast of South Africa, where they played the last warm-up match against the Toure brothers' Ivory Coast, and lost 1:2.

It's no surprise that, despite the absence of Drogba, the biggest killer in attack, Ivory Coast's overall strength is still a cut above China's, with Lille striker Gervinho and Hamburg full-back Demer scoring a goal each, and Li Jinyu equalising in the opening game of the second half.

It can be seen from these warm-up games that Zhuo Yang, the captain who relies on the soul and strength of the Chinese team, is not in very good shape. After a season's worth of battles, the ups and downs caused by fatigue at this time are understandable. It has been eight years since he stepped into professional football, Zhuo Yang knows how to adjust, and Jie Shuai has also given him full freedom in training.

So far, the Chinese team has ended all the warm-up before the World Cup with a record of 6 games, 3 wins and 3 losses, and then will wait for the hustle and bustle, and the first game will be in Rustenburg.

Arriving in this small town with the Chinese pair, there were also a large number of media reporters and fans who came like a dark cloud. There are a large number of Chinese and overseas Chinese in southern Africa, and the economic conditions of the Chinese who can take root and develop here are basically good. The game will be played in a different place, and many Chinese will follow the national team to fight.

Even from China, a large number of fans flocked to China, and Chinese suddenly became the most popular language in Rustenburg, a small city with a population of only 300,000, and there were "eaten" and "one, two, three eggplant" on the streets.

"The Chinese Expeditionary Force Occupies Rustenburg" - says the local newspaper.

The next day, with the arrival of the Paraguayan national team, Rustenburg was even more lively, but compared with the huge Chinese fan expeditionary force, Paraguay's fans were pitifully small and did not dare to speak loudly. As a country that is not as big as Gansu, with a population of only 1/3 and a GDP of only 1/4 of Gansu, Paraguay is barely in a difficult position outside the stadium.

After rest and adaptive training, the whole national team came to the world's three natural parks, Piranesburg National Park, located southwest of Rustenburg, on the opening day of the World Cup.

The opening ceremony was held in Johannesburg, South Africa, 120 kilometers southeast of Rustenburg, where Latin singer Mebarak Shakira once again sang "Waka Waka (This Time For Africa)" with her electric hips and water snake waist.

In fact, "Waka Waka" is not the theme song of the World Cup in South Africa, but "'Wavin' Flag," another song written and sung by Somali-Canadian singer K'Naan at the opening ceremony.

But as in the 1998 World Cup in France, Youso Endor's "La Cour des Grands" lost to Ricky Martin's "La Copa de la Vida"; "The time of our lives" at the 2006 World Cup in Germany lost to Shakira's "Hips Don't Lie";

In 2008, "Beijing Welcomes You" instead of "Me and You" was more popular, and even earlier in the 1990 Beijing Asian Games, people thought that "Asian Heroes" was a song, but "Burn, Torch" was.

In many cases, the popularity of promotional songs exceeds that of the official title song, after all, officials should not only consider the melody and rhythm, but also think about the depth and connotation of the song. AFTER ALL THESE YEARS, ONLY THE ITALIAN OF 1990 CREATED A CLASSIC HEIGHT THAT OTHER FOOTBALL-RELATED SONGS COULD HARDLY MATCH.

The Italian summer has made Giorgi Morrod and the smoky Gina Nanini immortal legends, and Shakira will have to keep trying.

It's a great relaxation to see lions, baboons and hyenas in the savannah, and in the Piranesburg National Park, the national team and the Paraguayan national team meet unexpectedly, a huge natural park, and the two teams are on the same tourist route.

In this Paraguayan team, Zhuo Yang's acquaintance is only one former Bayern player Santa Cruz. When he played Bayern Munich in Madiburg in the Bundesliga, Pompong broke the cruciate ligament of Santa Cruz with a butt, which almost made him miss the World Cup in Germany four years ago.

When he was at Bayern, Santa Cruz and Piggy had a good relationship. The injury had a big impact on him, and his upward momentum came to an abrupt halt, and he became an opportunistic striker with the attributes of a glass man. A year later, Bayern gave up on him and Santa Cruz went to the Premier League.

Although he transferred to the new giants Manchester City last year, he can only be a substitute, and the taste of the trick is very strong. Even in today's national team, the former 'Batistuta of Paraguay' is no longer the main choice for strikers.

Because of the relationship between the little pigs, Zhuo Yang and Santa Cruz were able to talk well back then, and they were one of their friends in the Bundesliga. Time has passed, and four years later, Zhuo Yang did not know that he had moved to Manchester City.

Some people say that under Kaka, Santa Cruz has the most handsome face in the football world, and maybe this statement is quite reasonable. When Roque Santa Cruz and Gisela Tavarelli were married in Asunção in 2003, more than 200 female fans outside the Cathedral of Metropolitana burst into tears on the red carpet.

Zhuo Yang and the former No. 1 handsome guy in the Bundesliga chatted happily: "Roque, you really don't look like you're twenty-nine years old, and you don't look old at all. ”

Santa Cruz: "......"
