Chapter 12: Chinese Weak Chicken VS Gallic Rooster (2nd Update)
Before the start of this game, the starting lists of the two teams for this game also flowed out:
France lined up in a 4-3-3 formation:
Goalkeeper: No. 1 Lloris
Defenders: No. 2 Pavard, No. 4 Varane, No. 5 Umtiti, No. 21 Hernandez
Midfielders: No. 12 Tolisso, No. 13 N'Golo Kante, No. 6 Pogba
Forwards: No. 10 Mbappe, No. 7 Antoine Griezmann, No. 11 Dembele
The strong French team discharged the "300 million flying" forward trident, Griezmann, who had just announced the renewal of his contract with Atletico Madrid, was in the center, Dembele and Mbappe were two supernovas, and the former teammate Giroud, who was injured in the previous warm-up game, was temporarily sitting on the bench. The pre-match analysis said that it was unreasonable for the French team not to win more than two goals, and the Chinese team was not cold in comparison, but too cold.
Everyone has discussed before whether Lu someone, the biggest star of the Chinese team, can get a starting position if he goes to other national teams - when he comes to France, he is not only determined to be selected as a starter, but also can't even enter the squad, you look at Benzema, Martial, Lacazette, Koeman...... It seems that none of them are not better than Lu Zhuhu, and the French team has really overflowed with talent in recent years, and there are too many players to use.
The Chinese team has long abandoned the 4231 formation that Perrin loved to use in the last World Cup and used the 4-3-3 formation:
Goalkeeper: No. 12 Yan Junlin
Defenders: No. 20 Zhang Chengdong, No. 4 Yu Yang, No. 5 Zhang Linpeng, No. 21 Yu Hai
Midfielder: No. 8 Zheng Zhi, No. 15 Wu Xian, No. 12 Park Cheng
Forwards: No. 10 Lu Zhuhu, No. 9 Xiao Zhi, No. 7 Wu Lei
The Chinese team let the old captain Zheng Zhi press the midfield, and the new captain Lu Zhuhu was on the front line, and it can be seen that he still hopes to make a difference in the offensive end.
The French team and the Chinese team have played each other 3 times in history, and the Chinese team has the absolute upper hand with a historical record of 2 wins and 1 loss, scoring 3 goals and conceding 3 goals. (with a face...... Confused? )
In 2006, when he played France 1:3, only Zheng Zhi and Zhao Xuri were left in the Chinese team;
In the 1:0 game against France in 2010, there was only Zeng Cheng in the Chinese team;
In the 2014 game against France, the Chinese team had Zeng Cheng, Zhang Linpeng, Shi Ke, Yu Yang, Wu Xian, Lu Zhuhu, and Lloris, Varane, Pogba, Giroud, Griezmann in the French team, so the two teams are quite familiar faces.
If Lippi can recruit Gao Lin this time, then Gao Linsmann is the only player who has participated in all three games, not to mention Gao Lin's performance in France in 14 years (although it is stained with Benzema's light). )
Why is Uncle Nari so arrogant.
Lu Zhuhu is also a bit of a pity that Gao Lin is not there, but now the team has many young players in the lineup, and they don't care how many stars in the opposing squad are dozens of times more valuable than them - they are excited to be selected for the World Cup squad, they will play without fear, and want to seize every opportunity to compete with the best players in the world on the big stage of the World Cup - just like he Lu Zhuhu did 4 years ago.
The old guys' sharpness will decline with age, even if Lu Zhuhu has a good personal relationship with them.
Before going on the field, Lu Zhuhu handed over his mobile phone to his 95-year-old brother Wei Shihao: "Please do one thing, after the game, you help me open the Weibo comment permission——"
"Huh?" Wei Shihao was a little puzzled.
Lu Zhuhu saw that no other teammates paid attention to this, and explained: "If this game is defeated, or even a historical-level defeat, domestic fans will definitely be very dissatisfied, and then let them all come to my Weibo to scold me, don't put too much pressure on them...... "The Gallic rooster has repeatedly lost at the feet of China's weak chickens, and now is their heyday, and they will definitely not show mercy at their feet, and they can enter as much as they want."
Lu Zhuhu sighed, as he gets older, his heart will indeed decline, including himself.
Wei Shihao was moved: "I didn't expect Brother Tiger that you even took this into consideration...... You're too ...... too It's too weak, how can you say such a frustrating thing before you start the game! I thought it was true that Brother Tiger said you would take us to 'eat chicken' before. I'm optimistic that we'll win. ”
Lu Zhuhu: "...... brother, you are really self-confident!"
"I'm going to play, that's it. Boot password '0816', how to get you to ...... at will"
Wei Shihao laughed twice: "Brother Tiger, so open, you are not afraid of those in you-"
Lu Zhuhu sighed: "Don't worry, I don't have those things you think about - I don't want to think about it, Brother Tiger, I'm about to become a 'lonely tiger'......"
……
At 5:45 p.m., the two teams entered the Kazan Arena on time, and the flags of both sides were unveiled.
The national flag of this World Cup will be slowly unfolded like a flower, and the red flag of the Chinese team will bloom like a red peony in this form of expression, which is very visually impactful. The French team wore a blue jersey, while the Chinese team wore this year's well-received Nike red home jersey, with gold trim on both shoulders, showing the dignity of being a world champion.
There is a joke that only the Chinese team has five stars embroidered on its clothes like Brazil, which is not right -
The Chinese team is now six stars.
Lu Zhuhu said that after wearing countless jerseys, his favorite is the red of the national team.
France's blue today is a bit similar to the Chinese team jersey he wore when he went to Berlin, which made him quite trance-like.
When the players shook hands, Griezmann hugged Lu Zhuhu and thanked him for his contribution to the filming of his "documentary" - because he prepared several "decisions", so the documentary was also filmed in two or three completely different versions, which can be said to be very showy.
When singing the national anthem, Lu Zhuhu clenched his fists tightly in front of his chest, stared at the national flag, and did not squint - he knew very well that whether it was Xi'er or Ning Shuangxiao, Hu Niu or Young Master Du today, they must all be watching their every move on the sidelines at this moment, but as a "negative person" and "scumbag", he would feel embarrassed when he saw them, so he should focus on the game.
"Uncle Lu, Uncle Lu, Uncle Lu!" From the moment she saw Lu Zhuhu appear, Hu Niu kept jumping up and down, shouting Lu Zhuhu's name, and in the end, Lu Zhuhu couldn't find her, and the little girl was very disappointed.
"Didn't you say that when you see him, you'll just call him 'negative person', I knew it would be like this, you little slippery head." Du Cheng struggled to hold the tiger girl high and let her shout to the fullest.
"However, if I call him 'negative person', how do you know which one I am shouting with so many negative people in the audience?"
“……”
With the exit of the little caddies, Lu Zhuhu still saw the little cutie who was held by his father, with his teeth and claws, and smiled at her and threw a flying kiss, and the little girl was so happy and satisfied.
As for the beautiful figure next to Hu Niu and Du Cheng, Lu Zhuhu didn't dare to look at it.
As soon as 18 o'clock arrived, the first round of the World Cup Group C between China and France started on time!
After the opening of the game, the French team showed the momentum of ambition and planned to take the lead!
In the 2nd minute, right fullback Pavard went straight behind the Chinese team's defense, Mbappe rushed into the small penalty area along the ribs, shot with his right foot at a small angle, and the ball was blocked by Yan Junlin sideways.
In the 4th minute, it was Mbappe again, who was pulled down at the top of the arc, and the French team got a free kick opportunity, and Pogba took the penalty. He curled a right-footed curling ball straight into the middle of the defence – and it passed over Yu Yang's head.
But the goalkeeper was fully prepared, and the ball was still easily picked off by Yan Junlin.
The French team has Mbappe, and the attack is much more ferocious than Benzema last time. From the very beginning, you could feel the huge difference between the two teams before and after four years.
In the 6th minute, it was Dembele who broke through on the left side, his cross was blocked by Shi Ke, Pogba almost killed the Chinese team with a header, but it was destroyed by this person, so this time Pogba chose to head a little and handed it to Griezmann on his side-
Griezmann fired a powerful right-footed volley directly from the top of the arc!
Yan Junlin pulled out bravely, his palms were like the wind!
The ball didn't cross the 10-finger mark!
From the 2nd minute to the 8th minute, the French team organized a number of threatening attacks in a row, and the strong pressure was indeed expected before the game. If it weren't for Yan Junlin's steady performance, he might indeed have opened the city gate!
