Chapter 251: The decisive battle begins

The on-site commentary partners arranged by the Dragon Country National TV Sports Channel for this key decisive battle between the Dragon Country team and the Egyptian team are Liu Jiayuan and Xu Yang.

Liu Jiayuan is the younger generation of football commentators promoted by the National Television Sports Channel after Liu Jianhong and Duan Xuan resigned.

He has already made a name for himself with the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, as well as the 2012 and 2016 European Championships.

The on-site commentators of the first two games of the Dragon Country team in this World Cup, He Wei and Zhu Xiaoyu, a veteran and a newcomer, have completed their tasks relatively well, and their commentators have received good reviews in the feedback from fans after the game.

Now it's Liu Jiayuan's turn to be tested by the fans.

"National TV! National TV! Hello audience friends! You're tuning in to the third round of the World Cup group stage at the Volgograd Arena in Russia, which will be played by the two belligerents that you will be familiar with: our Dragons and their last opponents in the group stage of this World Cup, Egypt. Liu Jiayuan's voice sounded behind the screen when the live camera was aimed at the starters of both sides of the game standing in the players' tunnel.

"I am Liu Jiayuan, the live commentator of this game, and sitting next to me is Xu Yang, a football commentator and former international player who everyone is very familiar with."

"Good evening, audience friends!" Xu Yang also said hello to the fans.

"The game is about to start, what we are seeing now is the picture of the starters of the two warring sides waiting in the player tunnel, and the live director is very clear about the biggest highlight of this game, and at this moment the camera focuses on Shen Feng of the Dragon Country team and Salah of the Egyptian team."

"That's right, in this game, how the Dragons and Egypt can perform is largely due to the performance of these two players in the game." Xu Yang continued.

"Shen Feng, we don't need to say more, everyone is familiar with his performance in the past season and a half since his debut, and the Dragon Country Team and the Jianye Team can have the current results, which is fundamentally related to his wonderful performance."

"Mohamed Salah is one of the hottest strikers in international football at the moment, having scored 44 goals in all competitions for Liverpool last season after returning to the Premier League, including 32 in the Premier League, breaking the Premier League's single-season scoring record!"

"Salah also helped Liverpool reach last season's Champions League final with his outstanding performance, although he unfortunately left the field injured in the final and could not help the team more, but his performance last season was enough to amaze the world."

"Salah did not play in the first round of the group stage of this World Cup because the injury has not yet healed, and he came back in the second round and scored a goal, but he still failed to help the Egyptian team get points and win, and now the Egyptian team has lost both games and is out of the group stage ahead of schedule, this game is Salah's last chance to prove himself!"

"Yes!" Liu Jiayuan said, "Therefore, although the Egyptian team has no hope of qualifying, the Dragon Team still cannot be taken lightly in this game, and the Egyptian team will stand for honor in this game!" ”

"Okay, the players from both sides have played in turn under the leadership of the referee team, the referee team who officiated this game, Colombia from South America, and the referee on duty is Vermaar? RoldΓ‘n is a young but experienced referee who has officiated at the 2014 World Cup, the 2015 and 2016 Copa America (including the final of the 2015 Copa America) and the 2017 Confederations Cup. ”

"Although this referee has also made some low-level mistakes in the process of law enforcement, but on the whole, the law enforcement is still relatively rigorous."

"Now the players from both sides have entered the stadium and lined up on the pitch for the national anthem ceremony, and the first thing to play is our national anthem."

When the majestic national anthem once again resounded over Russia, the players of the Dragon Country who had already experienced it twice, and hundreds of millions of Dragon Country fans, could still feel the passion surging in their chests.

Especially when the nearly 40,000 Dragon fans in the Volgograd Arena sang the national anthem in unison to the sound of music, such a scene is far from being comparable to other sports - this is one of the reasons why football has always been the number one sport in the world!

Only football can gather such great energy!

At the end of the national anthem ceremony, the captains of the warring sides came to the referee team and carried out the edge guessing ceremony under the auspices of the referee on duty.

Liu Jiayuan said, "The captains of the two sides who participated in this side guessing ceremony may be the oldest in the history of the World Cup, Zheng Zhi, the captain of the Dragon Country team, is now about to turn 38 years old, to be exact, 37 years and 308 days; The captain of the Egyptian team in this game is older, Essam who was born in 73? Hadari, now forty-five years and one hundred and sixty-one days old! ”

"Essam? With this age, Hadari has set a new record for the oldest player to appear in the World Cup! ”

Essam? Hadari is Egypt's meritorious goalkeeper and has helped Egypt win four Africa Cup of Nations!

Is this game Essam? Hadari's World Cup debut, the first two games, Essam? Hadari didn't get a chance to play, and the last time Egypt reached the World Cup finals was back in 1990, when Essam ? Hada has just landed his first professional contract and is stepping onto the professional ring.

This game, already Essam? Hadari's 159th game for Egypt is also a record for Egypt.

The biggest reason why the Egyptian team sent this meritorious veteran in this game is to round Essam? Hadari's World Cup dream.

However, the Dragons can't underestimate Essam because of this? Hadari's abilities.

"Okay, the edge picking ceremony is over, the game is kicked off by the Dragon Country team first, in the first half of the game, the Dragon Country team is attacking from the left side of the screen to the right side, and the Egyptian team is attacking from the right side of the screen to the left side." Liu Jiayuan continued to introduce the process of the competition.

With the whistle of the referee on duty, this key decisive battle between the Dragon Team and the Egyptian team officially began!

"National TV! National TV! Hello audience friends! Thank you for tuning in to bring you the live broadcast of the third round of the World Cup group stage at the Volgograd Arena in Russia, which will be played by our Dragons against the third opponent of the World Cup group stage, Egypt! Liu Jiayuan said in an enthusiastic voice after the official start of the game.
