Xu Yang also sighed, "Sixteen years ago, I was still a stick boy in my twenties, but today, sixteen years later, I am already a greasy middle-aged uncle over forty years old, and in the next sixteen years, I will be over the age of six!" ”

"However, I have confidence in the current Dragon Nation team, they will definitely not let us wait for another sixteen years."

He Wei said, "That's right! The changes of the Dragon Country team in the past year have indeed given us many surprises, and let us have more expectations for Dragon Country football and the future of the Dragon Country team! ”

"Now let's get down to business and get back to the game that is about to start."

At this moment, what is going on on the field is the edge picking ceremony, Zheng Zhi, the captain of the Dragon team, and Akinfeev, the captain of the Russian team, holding their respective team flags, came to the referee team. Under the chairmanship of Pitana, the traditional way of guessing coins on the football field was used to determine the sides of the game and the order of tee-off.

The edge picking ceremony was completed, and in the first half of the game, the Dragon Country team kicked off first, and the Russian team, which was fighting at home, attacked from the right side of the live broadcast screen to the left side in the first half, and the Dragon Country team attacked from the left side of the TV screen to the right side in the first half.

At the start of this World Cup, FIFA, in order to better interact with fans, stipulates that the countdown will be shouted by the fans at the game site, and the countdown will be completed, and the referee on the field will blow the whistle for the official start of the game.

Luzhniki Stadium is the largest of the 12 stadiums of the World Cup in Russia, the stadium with the largest area and the largest number of fans, with 81,000 seats, full of seats, and 81,000 people counting down together under the guidance of the stadium announcer, which is magnificent and impressive.

The two players of the Dragon Country team standing next to the center circle point and waiting for the kick-off are Shen Feng, who served as the single striker of the Dragon Country team in this game, and Zhang Xizhe, the midfielder.

In this game, the Dragon Country team discharged the 5-4-1 formation that has been focused on practicing in recent times.

Russia's latest FIFA rankings have fallen to outside the 70th place due to a series of defeats in a series of warm-up matches before the start of the World Cup, which is the lowest-ranked of all 32 teams participating in this World Cup.

However, this should not be to dismiss them.

Not to mention the host aura of the Russian team, the actual level of their team is far from what the current FIFA rankings reflect.

During the Soviet era, Russia was a world-class powerhouse, reaching the semi-finals of the World Cup and winning the European Championship.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Russian team also had a good record in international competitions, and before this World Cup, it had successfully broken through the European qualifiers of the World Cup three times and entered the finals of the World Cup!

The fierce competition in the European qualifiers for the World Cup is not comparable to that of the Asian region, and in this World Cup, even the 2006 World Cup champion Italy team and the "orange team" Netherlands team failed to suddenly succeed, which shows the background of the Russian team.

In the previous warm-up match, although the Dragon Country team did not choose a similar warm-up match opponent for the Russian team, this does not mean that the Dragon Country team does not attach importance to the Russian team.

In fact, in the three group games of this World Cup, the Dragon Team attaches the most importance to this opening match with the host Russian team!

Not only because this game is the first game of the Dragon Country team in this World Cup, shouldering the responsibility of creating a "good start", but also because of the attention of this opening game, which is second only to the final among the 64 matches in the entire World Cup!

It can be said that the goal of the whole world is gathered in this game!

A match with such a high degree of attention is of great benefit to the Dragon Country team to promote themselves and promote Dragon Country football in front of fans all over the world!

Of course, this is under the condition that the Dragon Country team has a good performance in the game and plays its own strength and level.

If the Dragon Nation team does not perform satisfactorily in the game, it will become a disgrace to the people of the world!

Just in order not to be embarrassed in front of fans all over the world, the Dragon Country team should also pay enough attention to this game and do their best in the game!

Not to mention, the Dragon Country team is still pinning on the ardent expectations of hundreds of millions of Dragon Country fans and people at the moment!

In addition, the supreme leader of the Dragon Country @ Sleeve is also sitting in the box at the game site at the moment, and the performance of the Dragon Country team on the field will directly determine the face of the FIFA President sitting next to him and the President of Russia!

Even if these external factors are removed, just for themselves, in order to achieve their life goals and career dreams, the players of the Dragon Country team must fight for their lives in this game!

This game, for the Dragon Country team, is really too much to do, and it is impossible to overstate how to treat it with a cautious attitude!

Therefore, although in the latest FIFA rankings before the start of the World Cup, the Dragon Country team is more than 30 years ahead of the Russian team, judging from the ranking alone, the strength of the two teams is very different, and the Dragon Country team occupies a clear advantage!

However, the highly-ranked Dragon Country team, at the beginning of the game, put on an all-out defensive posture, a 5-4-1 pure defensive formation, showing their attitude in this game.

The Russian team was not polite to the Dragon team, and although the 4-4-2 formation looked decent, the determination for this game was indeed sufficient, and they vowed to win all three points!

"National TV! National TV! Good evening, audience friends! What you are watching now is the opening match of the 21st World Cup in Russia in 2018, which will be played by the host Russian team against the Dragon Nation! He Wei, the on-site commentator of the Longguo National TV Sports Channel, said in an enthusiastic tone.

"With the countdown of the fans in unison, the referee on the field blew the whistle for the start of the game, and the World Cup, which is held every four years and is expected by hundreds of millions of fans, officially kicked off at this moment!"

"The game was kicked off by the Dragons, who wore the red away jersey, and the hosts, Russia, wore the white home jerseys, and the Dragons attacked from the left side of the screen to the right side of the screen in the first half, and the Russian team attacked from the right side of the screen to the left side of the screen in the first half."

"As the host, the Russian team showed a strong momentum at the beginning of the game, and without the slightest temptation, they directly attacked the defense line of the Dragon National Team."

"However, the Dragon Country team has been prepared for this for a long time, and they have not been overwhelmed by the momentum of the Russian team, and the defense has been done in a watertight and orderly manner."
