Chapter 692: Facing Brazil

After the national football team qualified, the whole country celebrated on a large scale, and the hardest thing was the police and security guards who maintained order.

Major media and websites have reported on the Chinese team's way to qualify, and netizens are also enthusiastic, and the comment area under each report is hotly discussed, which is hotter than the 08 Olympics.

The joy of the Chinese team's first victory in the World Cup and the victory over Spain made the world's No. 1 sport finally break out completely on the land of China and become a grand event to unite the morale of the people.

Every member of the national team has become a hero, and no one is ashamed to play football and watch football anymore.

If you have relatives and friends who happen to play football, you will also attract envious eyes from the surrounding people.

However, amid the celebrations of fans across the country, many people expressed pessimism about the prospects of the Chinese team.

Because, according to the principle of the first in Group A against the second in Group B in the 1/8 finals, the Chinese team will meet the host and football kingdom Brazil in the 1/8 finals.

Many people have speculated that the Chinese team's World Cup journey will come to an abrupt end in the 1/8 finals.

Even so, the Chinese team has created a big miracle, and the fans still celebrated happily.

Moreover, due to the prospect that the Chinese team may stop in the top 16, many people temporarily decided to go to Brazil to watch the 1/8 finals of the Chinese team on the spot.

Win or lose, the Chinese team's first World Cup knockout game is definitely worth watching. What's more, the opponent is still Brazil, the kingdom of football.

As a result, the tickets for the quarterfinals of China vs Brazil have begun to soar at the speed of rockets on the same day, and it is estimated that they will eventually be as high as a very high price.

In the next two days, the group stage ended one after another, and the final list of finalists to advance to the round of 16 of this World Cup is Brazil, Mexico, the Netherlands, China, Colombia, Greece, Costa Rica, Uruguay, France, Switzerland, Argentina, Nigeria, Germany, the United States, Belgium, and Algeria.

Defending champions Spain were knocked out of the group stage, while England and Italy were knocked out of Group D by Costa Rica and Uruguay, especially as Costa Rica topped the group.

It can be seen that the world's strongest teams are not guaranteed to win.

Gao Hongbo and Lu Wenbin also used the example of Costa Rica to encourage the team to face Brazil.

In particular, the Chinese team also has the secret weapon of Lu Wenbin, if it takes the lead, or hits a penalty shootout, the Chinese team can temporarily replace Lu Wenbin to guard the goal.

During the training, everyone has already seen the magic of Lu Wenbin's penalty kick.

Generally speaking, with the shooting skills of the Chinese team players, in front of Lu Wenbin, if you play well, you can score one or two penalty kicks, and if you don't play well, you can't score a single goal.

Only a shot with good power and speed and a straight shot into the corner is likely to score, and the odds are also not high.

This is an analysis from the perspective of the Chinese team itself, and on the other hand, an analysis of the Brazilian team.

Brazil may seem strong, but they are not.

The first game 3-1 Croatia and the third game 4-1 Cameroon can only be described as normal play, but the second game was held to a 0-0 draw by Mexico, which showed the fact that Brazil are weak in attack.

Although it still holds the name of five-star Brazil, the current Brazilian team is far from the lineup composed of superstars such as Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Adriano, Robert Carlos, Cafu and Juninho Jr. when they won the championship in 2002.

Counting the current Brazilian team, Neymar, Gustavo, Oscar, McConn, Marcelo, Silva, Cesar, etc., although they are also well-known, they are simply incomparable to the superstar-studded Brazilian team in 2002.

With the inspirational reality of Costa Rica in front of them, coupled with the fact that the Brazilian team was forced to draw 0-0 by Mexico, and Lu Wenbin's hole card, the Chinese players were not intimidated by the Brazilian team.

Inspired by Lu Wenbin's aura of leadership, everyone shouted to fight with the Brazilian team to the end.

Of course, no one has made the brain-dead remark that some players in 2002 said that "Neymar can be easily frozen".

The hole card of the Chinese team is Lu Wenbin's offensive and defensive all-round ability and backcourt command ability, which depends on the whole.

What Lu Wenbin and Gao Hongbo did was to break the Chinese players' visceral fear of Brazil, the kingdom of football.

As long as there is faith, dare to fight, dare to grab, and dare to counterattack, the Chinese team will not have a chance to defeat Brazil and advance to the quarterfinals.

After all, this Brazil team definitely does not have the strength of the Netherlands to beat Spain 5-1.

The Chinese team only lost to the Dutch team 2-3, and a draw or win against the Brazilian team is very likely.

Don't talk about winning, if you draw, when it comes to the penalty shootout, not to mention Lu Wenbin's goalkeeping ability, just Lu Wenbin standing in front of the goal is enough to make the Brazilians psychologically confused.

Lu Wenbin and Gao Hongbo privately analyzed that the probability of the Chinese team defeating Brazil to advance to the quarterfinals is not small.

At 13 o'clock at noon on June 28, the first quarterfinal of the 2014 World Cup between China and Brazil officially began at the Mineiro Arena in Belo Horizonte.

In the semi-finals of last year's Confederations Cup, it was at this stadium that the Chinese team lost 1-3 to Brazil.

But today's Chinese team is no longer last year's Chinese team, and Lu Wenbin is not last year's Lu Wenbin.

Lu Wenbin's cooperation with his teammates is more tacit, the offensive and defensive transitions are more handy, and Lu Wenbin also has the killer weapon of goalkeeper skills.

The whole Chinese team has a revenge mentality, and they want to beat Brazil on the same court to advance to the quarterfinals.

But it's not that easy.

Even if there are no superstars such as Ronaldo and Ronaldinho, who can stand out in the football kingdom and be selected for the national team, the members of this Brazilian team are still very good at their personal skills, and they play smoothly and pleasing to the eye.

In the opening 8th minute, the Brazilian team tore apart the Chinese team's defense with a continuous pass of four people in front, plus the last unexpected back-heel pass of the former Oscar, and Neymar scored with a low shot in the forbidden area.

1-0, the host Brazil team took an easy lead after just 8 minutes of the opening game.

The Brazilians sang and laughed on the pitch and in the stands, while the Chinese players were a bit of a hit.

Not frustrated, though.

After all, at the pre-match mobilization meeting, Lu Wenbin and Gao Hongbo had already told everyone that in the face of Brazil, it is inevitable to lose a goal, even if the score is behind.

Therefore, everyone must not lose their fighting spirit, and must unite to fight for the equalizer.

The tactics discussed before the game were to change Lu Wenbin to guard the goal when the score was ahead, and not to score or fall behind. What I am afraid of is that without Lu Wenbin's counterattack and command defense, the defense line will be broken through by the Brazilian team.

In that case, even if Lu Wenbin was standing in front of the door, it was not very safe.

Therefore, now that the score is behind, everyone can only continue to insist on defense under the leadership of Lu Wenbin, and wait for the opportunity to counterattack and strive for an equalizer.

As long as the equalizer is equalized, the Chinese team has a chance.
