Chapter 61: Defeated

Before the war, some domestic football experts stood up to support the Chinese team.

Huang Jianxiang did not think that Spain was invincible.

"The Spanish team is the king of the second round of the group stage in the history of the World Cup, and their pass-and-control style of play is unique in world football, but at present, the Spanish team has problems with all four lines, and it is really not 100% sure to play China."

"In this game, the Chinese team must be an iron bucket formation, it depends on whether it can keep a draw, after all, no national team in global football today can compete with the Spanish team for ball control. The problem is that the Spanish team is now worried about internal and external troubles, and the four lines are all problems, and it is not a problem to change the coach in comparison. ”

'First of all, goalkeeper David De Gea's form can be brought back quickly. In the first round of the group stage 3:3 Portugal, De Gea, who was as stable as an elephant in the Premier League, made a butter hand mistake, and Ronaldo made a shot with little threat, but De Gea touched his own goal. Second, the back line will not work. Ronaldo's other two goals, one was a penalty from Nacho in the box, and the other was a free kick from Ronaldo in front of the Pique box. There is also a troublesome figure, the main right-back Carvajal has been recovering from injury, if he does not return in the second round, then why occupy a 23-man list, this pot is left by former coach Lopetegui, he was busy signing with Real Madrid before the start of the World Cup, and he did not have time to consider whether to change the 23-man list. ”

"Third, there are also problems with the midfielders, the Spanish team's tactics are the supremacy of midfield passing, based on Iniesta as the core, but Lao Bai only has 70 minutes of power, and when the time comes, the battery must be replaced, and the first round of 3:3 Portugal was replaced by Thiago at this point in time. Fourth, why Costa, who scored twice in the first round, was replaced in 77 minutes, the fundamental reason is that he can't fight anymore, and in the 17/18 season just ended, Costa's injury has never completely healed throughout the season. ”

"Spain claim to have a picturesque pass, but the team is full of problems right now. In addition, Sergio Busquets, the defender who connects the front and back courts, received a yellow card in the first round, and his position and his style of play, whether it is the Spanish team or the Barcelona club he plays, no one can really replace him. To sum up, if the Spanish team makes a mistake in the Chinese team in the second round, it will be really lively. ”

"Of course, I think the most important thing is that what Ronaldo can do, Dong Fangzhuo can also do!"

The Spanish media also looked forward to the Sino-Spanish war.

The newspaper also predicts that the Chinese team will defend tightly and will not take the initiative - they are just hoping for a draw, but we must not mumble about their confidence that they will get a point, but if this game is a draw and Portugal wins, it means that Spain will be out.

"World Sport" - There is nothing to say, only by beating China can we take our destiny into our own hands, once a draw means that Spain will be eliminated in the last round, China and Portugal will definitely play tacit ball, and then the victory against Morocco will become meaningless.

Marca – Keeping the press for 90 minutes and scoring to win is what Spain has to do, don't be under the illusion that Portugal will miss out. Beware of Chinese Dong playing a performance of personal heroism in the game, and there can be no more Cristiano Ronaldo-style tragedy.

※※※※

Spain announced their starting line-up early and it seemed that there was nothing to hide, they needed to attack and get goals.

Spain (4231):

Goalkeeper: David De Gea

Defenders: Carvajal, Pique, Ramos, Alba

Defenders: Andres Iniesta, Sergio Busquets

Midfielders: David Silva, Isco, Vazquez

Forward: Costa

China actually has nothing to keep, and also gave a starting list.

Goalkeeper: Zeng Cheng

Defenders: Zhang Linpeng, Zheng Zhi, Feng Xiaoting, Wang Gang

Midfielders: Hao Junmin, Huang Bowen, Zhao Xuri, Feng Renliang

Forwards: Dong Fangzhuo, Wu Sanshi

It's exactly the same as the start of the previous round.

In the Kazan Arena, which can accommodate 45,000 fans, red and white once again crowded the stands, but this time the Chinese team finally got the home color, while Spain got the white, and the fans on both sides were almost half and evenly divided.

Duan Xuan complained about some of his master's previous arguments before the game, and before entering the live broadcast room, the two chatted outside for a while.

"I think your pre-match analysis is good, but I think the fans' views are more direct."

"What is Spain?"

"Defeated!"

"They've lost to us in two World Cups in a row, so we don't have to be afraid of them at all, it's them who should be scared!"

"We're too low-key."

"We're a strong team, so why do we have to call ourselves a weak team? You can't do something that hits you like that. ”

"......" Huang Jianxiang could only be speechless.

From the fans' point of view, it is true that they can think so, but as experts, they can't be so arrogant, what if they are slapped in the face when the time comes?

"If we win this game and there is a draw in the last round, Spain will be cool."

"The spinach company is optimistic about them, we will accept half of them, and it is estimated that we will have to slap them in the face again."

"And who did you buy?"

"I'm definitely going to buy China! If you don't think about it, you must support the Chinese team. ”

Huang Jianxiang glanced at his apprentice, then didn't say anything, and after tidying up his suit, he walked into the live broadcast room, and Duan Xuan obediently followed behind him.

At this time, the starters of the two teams were already waiting in the players' tunnel, Dong Fangzhuo and De Gea greeted for a while, Pique's kid won far away, and he has rarely communicated with Dong Fangzhuo over the years, I don't know if it is because the two sides have played too many games over the years, and they are full of resentment towards Dong Fangzhuo, but the Real Madrid department still respects Dong Fangzhuo enough, Vazquez, Ramos and others came to greet Dong Fangzhuo.

It hasn't been a few years since they met on the field, and the 33-and-a-half-year-old Dong Fangzhuo may be the last World Cup and the last time he will play against Spain. So Ramos suddenly had a word with Dong Fangzhuo.

"Dong, this game should be the last time we will play each other at the national team level!"

is not just talking about Dong Fangzhuo, in fact, it is also talking about him Ramos himself, Ramos is one year younger than Dong Fangzhuo, he is 32 years old this year, and he will be 36 years old in four years, and the Spanish national team basically has nothing to do with him.

"Maybe,"

"But who knows?"

Dong Fangzhuo himself doesn't think that he will have to retire at that time, maybe he can play for a long, long time, as long as he wants, he doesn't want to stop, as long as he doesn't want to stop, and he still has the ability to play for the country, he can still appear in the China World Cup.

Besides, it's the China World Cup, I guess I won't be able to withdraw if I want to, right? He didn't want to be in the VIP table as a guest, he still wanted to play as a player.

Zheng Zhi can be 38 years old this year, but can't he be 37 years old by then? Even if it's a substitute, he's very confident.

However, China has now begun the naturalization procedures, for example, the Brazilian Elkeson has almost been naturalized, and he will definitely be able to represent the national football team at that time, and there are several foreign players, and the procedures are also being processed......

"Sergio,"

"It's too early to think about this, maybe we'll meet next time?"

Damn, do you want to keep playing? The younger brother Vázquez listened to it from behind, and immediately rolled his eyes, four years and four years, you are going to make the guy who wants to win the Golden Globe Award have nowhere to win the Golden Globe......

The loud World Cup music sounded, and the two sides began to walk out of the Kazan Arena......
