(The Chinese team faced Portugal, two chapters together, these two days because Changqing ran around, either on the train or on the car, the update is not so stable, I'm really sorry!) What you owe will be made up! Recommend tickets to me! ）

On a happy and leisurely day in Kazan, Lu Zhuhu's young friend Master Bindi came to the prison in Samara and visited the son of a gambling king who had been detained before, as a "reporter who can only be seen by climbing over the wall abroad".

Bindi's trip was naturally because he wanted to explore the real purpose of this gentleman's assassination of Captain Lu and the deep "Chinese social reasons" behind it. The son of the gambling king basically continued his father's glorious record, winning every gamble, and still accurately bet on the results of the Chinese team in the quarterfinals - better than the participants Da Long Ge and Lu Zhuhu themselves can judge the historical situation.

This naturally also attracted the attention of domestic and foreign media, so when this dark-skinned reporter came to the "iron cage", the son of the gambling king was not surprised, no different from his previous attitude, he still loved to answer and ignored people, or he was silent and ignored people throughout the whole process.

Until Young Master Bindi threw out a standard Chinese accent of the northeast:

"Big brother, I know that it is not easy for you, there must be many demands that cannot be made public to the world, so you can talk to my brother and me, and talk about your bitterness......

The son of the gambling king glanced at this half-brown and not black brother, and seemed to be touched in his heart, and finally opened his mouth and told the stories since his father's generation of gambling kings left......

Foreign journalists, they must be more objective and truthful...... (maybe...... Right? ）

……

On July 4, the Chinese team arrived in Nizhny Novgorod. Two days later, at 10 p.m. Beijing time on July 6, they will face the quarter-finals against Portugal.

The Chinese team came to this strange city for the first time, as the fifth largest city in Russia, it is actually far less famous than the previous four, and even less than the "Vladivostok" in the far East (in fact, Vladivostok is an important member of the "Song of the Seven Sons", and it is not surprising that the Chinese have deeper feelings for it. If the rest of the world is not clear, there is one thing that certainly makes you "oh" - this is the hometown of the famous writer Gorky, and for a time the city was named after the writer who influenced people all over the world, and until 1990 it was called "Gorky Oblast". During the World Cup, Nizhny Novgorod, a city of history and culture, was also an indispensable part of the event, and in preparation for the World Cup, Nizhny Novgorod also built the largest stadium in the city's history, the Nizhny Novgorod Stadium.

This is evident from this......

Nizhny Lovegorod is not a football city at all...... There is also a "Kazan ruby" in Kazan. If it weren't for the hard indicators of the World Cup stadium here, it would probably be built here! However, Nizhny Novgorod fans are lucky, and the completion of the stadium will also be a huge help to the local team "Nizhny Novgorod Olympiad", which will be used as the team's home stadium and will be able to sell more tickets.

In 2006, the Blacksmith Society ranked second among the top 10 most polluted places in the world, as Dzerzhinsk ranked second because it was one of Russia's main chemical weapons processors until the end of the Cold War. Here, men live only 42 years and women live 47 years...... I just want to see the home team play, and I don't need to come back to life as a price......

Fortunately, the Chinese team and the Portuguese team did not have to go to this dangerous stadium. The new stadium not only has a larger capacity, the facilities meet FIFA standards, but also uses the budget of the World Cup to renovate the surrounding infrastructure, which can not only recover costs but also make money, so Chinese fans have been asking whether Mao Tianchao will not host the World Cup......

In the group stage of this World Cup, one of the few "strong dialogues", Argentina vs. Croatia was staged here, and the game was quite exciting, but the luck behind the two teams was not very good, which also made superstitious people a little worried.

When the Chinese team arrived, they saw that there were tourists from all over the world along the way, and there were naturally many Chinese tourists - all of whom came in advance to support the national team's new journey. The city walls here are majestic, and the ancient city walls are full of defensive holes, and there are many traces of washing and renovation over time, which shows that the Russian nation not only "fought", but also those skills on the construction site were also very superb. What is even more surprising is that there are old Soviet tanks directly on the streets, which are used as decorations - how can there be no weapons for a fighting nation!

Arriving at the scene was heavily guarded, with guards standing at gunpoint. I am afraid that the local residents are too fanatical, and it will cause any impact or adverse effects on this world-class team and the "defending champion". The Chinese team stayed at the "Drozsky Garden Hotel" this time, although it was not specially renovated for the Chinese team before the World Cup like the Kazan Royal Hotel, but the environment is also good.

The Chinese team did not expect so many fans to come to greet them in front of the hotel, and they couldn't help but increase a lot of confidence. As the coach, "Lippi" was the first to walk down and greet the fans, followed by Yu Yang, the core of the Chinese team's defense, which performed well, and then the king of martial arts, who also greeted the fans.

The Chinese players waved to the onlookers, but when all the players got off the bus, the fans were disappointed:

What about the captain and No. 10 of the Chinese team? We are all here to see Lu Zhuhu, who wants to see these cats, dogs and four ...... who can't be named.

The originally enthusiastic fans welcomed the team and dispersed, and soon there was no trace, and a few fans who stayed behind were also looking for players who had outstanding performances in the first two games, such as Xiao Zhi, Zhao Xuri, and Qin Long, asking for their autographs, these two people were complacent, thinking that they had international influence, but they didn't know that the players who really brought them "influence" were still fighting in the difficult concentration camps at the moment......

Brother Da Long is very dissatisfied with this kind of scene, thinking that he is now the top three active coaches and even the No. 1 Lippi at that time, and his popularity is not as good as a Chinese player, and the people of the world are forgetful, seriously protesting, hum......

When Lu Zhuhu came to Nizhny Novgorod, it was night, and he quietly entered the village, but he didn't stir up any storms and waves, and he didn't use any security personnel, so he arrived at the hotel smoothly, and went to Brother Da Long's room to report the fake, Brother Da Long was writing a long post on a forum: In today's social football, does the attention to players far exceed that of the head coach - and in fact, the head coach is the biggest factor affecting the game?

The post is a male recruitment, from the Italian coach Pozzo to the contemporary outstanding coach representative Ferguson, Bosque, Lippi, rich in content, but also aroused the keen attention of netizens, to Lu Zhuhu to see, a total of two people replied to his post, one of them replied to "hehe", and then was submerged in Wang Yang's news list......

At 22:00 on July 6, Beijing time, the 1/4 finals of the World Cup in Russia officially kicked off, and the first game was played by the Chinese team against Portugal at the Nizhny Novgorod Stadium. Two years ago, Portugal won the European Championship and ranked 4th in the World Cup, while the Chinese team ranked 70th. This World Cup is the third time that the Chinese team has participated in the World Cup, the first two times were at the bottom of the group with a net swallow of 9 goals, and the first time was to win the World Cup...... Portugal, on the other hand, is a very stable team similar to Mexico, or to put it mildly, a strengthened version of Mexico, which has participated in the World Cup 18 times, and fans know before the game that this team is not too bad, but it is not much stronger...... The best result was the third place in 1966 and 2006, and the "qualifications" were not as good as the Chinese team led by Ronaldo's younger brother Lu.

Is...... It's infuriating!

But it is unreasonable to say that Portugal is not favored, after all, they are the champions of the European Cup, and the European Cup is higher than the World Cup!

Asian Cup winners Australia were eliminated from the group (although some felt that China performed better and deserved the title), while African Cup winners Cameroon, Oceania Cup of Nations champions New Zealand, Copa America champions Chile and CONCACAF Gold Cup winners the United States did not qualify for the World Cup at all...... European Cup winners, Portugal are the only one seed, right......

Before the start of the game, Lu Zhuhu and Ronaldo, who led the two teams to start the game, met in the players' tunnel, and Ronaldo did not announce his previous considerations, but directly asked Lu Zhuhu: "How are things considered." ”

Lu Zhuhu replied seriously: Since you want to make some changes, then my opinion is-

Why don't you come to Arsenal?

The atmosphere is very good, the fans are the most enthusiastic and willing to spend money, the location of London is excellent and the world is enviable, and the team's two midfielders, Mesut Ozil and Lu, are your old trust and heartfelt partners – why not think about it?

Ronaldo looked confused, he didn't expect to recruit Lu Zhuhu, but in the end, he was "recruited" by Lu Zhuhu, and he couldn't laugh or cry.

Why should I, a Manchester United celebrity, switch to Arsenal, which is not a sworn enemy but at least an adversary?

But Lu Zhuhu's true thoughts, he probably understood.

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and hugged each other tightly in the passage.

Whatever decision you make, may you have a good future, brother!

Located in the Strelka district, at the fork of the Oka and Volga rivers, on the right bank of the Volga River, the Nizhny Novgorod Stadium has an excellent view of the city center and is close to the historic building area where the famous Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is located. Construction began in early 2015 and lasted nearly three years, with a capacity of about 45,000 people, which is just the minimum number of people in the World Cup stadium.

Due to the high latitude, the summer temperature is not too high, but it is the most vibrant season of the year, the best season to travel to Nizhny Novgorod, even if it is not the appeal of the Portuguese and Chinese teams, the number of tourists will not be small, so this is a full crowd of fans, the whole stadium is rarely so lively, and it is undoubtedly quite comfortable for the players to play here.

The last time the Portuguese team played well, or the "Guedes" game played excellently, defeating the balanced Uruguay, this time the coach also intends to continue the tacit combination of the second half of the last game, following the lineup of the previous game, Portugal's only change is to replace No. 23 Adrian Silva with Quaresma, and put on a 442 formation, it can be seen that Portugal wants to give the Chinese team more impact in the opening stage:

Goalkeeper: No. 1 Patricio

Defenders: No. 15 Ricardo Pereira, No. 3 Pepe, No. 6 Fonte, No. 5 Guerrero

Midfielders: 11 Bernardo Silva, 20 Quaresma, 14 William Carvalho, 10 Joao Mario

Forwards: No. 17 Guedes, No. 7 Cristiano Ronaldo

Guedes was able to become the second player to score a hat-trick after Ronaldo in the last game, and the expectations for him have also greatly increased, and Guedes has also changed his judgment dramatically, bursting with confidence, and assured Ronaldo before the game that he "will stand up when the team needs it".

The Chinese team did not choose "retro" this time, using the 4231 that has brought the team many key victories, and it is also a 4-4-2 formation, and the main players in multiple positions have returned, just like the Chinese team was a non-mainstream choice to play casually in the last game against Argentina:

Goalkeeper: No. 12 Yan Junlin

Defenders: No. 20 Zhang Chengdong, No. 6 Shi Ke, No. 5 Zhang Linpeng, No. 21 Yu Hai

Midfielder: No. 8 Zheng Zhi, No. 15 Wu Xian, No. 10 Lu Zhuhu, No. 12 Pu Cheng

Forwards: No. 9 Xiao Zhi, No. 7 Wu Base

Lu Zhuhu made a comeback without suspense in this game, his appearance in the last game can be described as a big psychological blow to Argentina, and finally the team of the King of Plum Ball also died under his "chest", at that time his state was obviously plagued by injuries, this game he and the former big brother Ronaldo matchup, fans have reason to expect him to show a better performance - maybe it will be like playing the group stage of the French team?

Yan Junlin and Zhang Linpeng, the two core star players, inexplicably took a break and returned in this game, just like Lippi wanted these two to play well in this game by taking turns to rest.

But no matter what the two managers think, the effect will have to wait until the game officially starts to see.

In the 2nd minute, the Chinese team took the ball on the left side of the front, and Wu Lei passed the ball diagonally to the penalty area to find Lu Zhuhu - Wu Qiu Wang came up and welcomed the return of Captain Lu with a very good quality pass, Lu Zhuhu's choice was also very surprising, and he shot directly into the air with a barb -

He seemed eager to show the fans that his minor injury had no effect on him at the moment, but unfortunately he didn't hit the spot, and fired the ball wide of the woodwork.

Although the first shot was a threat to the Chinese team, but after the start of the game, the Portuguese team was undoubtedly the first to enter the state, dominating the field, in the 6th minute, Ronaldo got rid of Zhang Chengdong on the left side and crossed the bottom, the goal was to find Guedes who was quickly inserted in the middle - the Chinese team's defense made a mistake, Guedes stopped the ball on the right chest of the small penalty area and hit the goal to hit Yan Junlin in a cold sweat.

In the 7th minute, it was replaced by Silva who took the ball on the left side of the front of the penalty area and crossed, and Guedes headed wide in the small penalty area.

Portugal's idea of playing Guedes in this game is on full display.

As the game progressed, the Portuguese attack group continued to exert pressure, in the 9th minute, Mario passed the ball to the penalty area on the left, Ronaldo himself rushed up to head the goal by Yan Junlin touched the bottom line, and then Portugal's left corner passed to the penalty area, Yan Junlin pounced, and the second point followed Master Pei shook his head to attack the goal, but Yu Yang completed the rescue on the goal line.

In the 12th minute, Portugal cooperated exquisitely in front of the penalty area, and Ronaldo's powerful shot was blocked by Yan Junlin. Then Mario forced a cross from the right, and Guedes grabbed a header in the middle and was scored by Yan Junlin on the ground.

The World Cup champion was suppressed by the European champion and looked helpless.
