In the post-match press conference, Dunga finally got his opponent in check. 'We won the game and that's a good thing. The lads showed in the game what we tried in training and I think that's good. But the opponent also played very well, and I never thought that the North Korean team would cause us such a big problem. I think they have a chance of qualifying from the group. ”

Kim Jong-hoon couldn't hide his disappointment after the defeat: "I thought we could do better. We have failed to live up to the expectations of our great leaders. But Brazil are the best team in the world and I'm not making excuses for our failures, but we're not as good as others. We will do our best in the next two games to live up to the expectations of the people and the leaders of us. ”

As for the players of the Brazilian team, they left the ball behind after the game. The North Korean team is just one of their many opponents, and it's not the strongest, not the most impressive.

After Brazil's win, Spain unexpectedly lost to Switzerland. The first round of the group stage of the World Cup is over, and a few are happy and a few are sad.

As in previous World Cups, there is no shortage of upsets.

The second round of the group stage has begun.

France's upset defeat to Mexico is in jeopardy, and the '98 World Cup winners, Euro 2000 winners, and the 2006 World Cup champions who forced Brazil to the brink of collapse, are likely to be eliminated in the group stage.

Argentina won the game without a smooth win, while England drew again, leaving the British media in mourning.

Germany then beat Australia 4-0, the Netherlands beat Japan to qualify for the second game in a row, and defending champions Italy narrowly drew with New Zealand, and must win the last game to qualify.

In anticipation, Brazil is back on the pitch.

Their opponents, Ivory Coast, are not underdogs, having drawn with Portugal in their opening game.

With Drogba, Kalu, Eboue, Yaya. Toure, Colo. Toure, Tiot, Gervinho, Keita and other famous players who have established their main positions in Europe's top five leagues, Ivory Coast's strength on paper can be said to be expected to be in the top 8, and even the top 4 is not impossible to expect.

The draw with Portugal in the opening game also gave them a lot of confidence.

Ivory Coast coach Christian Eriksen was looking forward to the game before the game: "Brazil are the best team in the world, Ricardo, Ronaldo and Kaka are the best players in the world, it's amazing to play against them, it's a rare experience. We're going to try to win, a draw is acceptable, and if we draw with Brazil and win against North Korea in the last game, we can hope to qualify. Brazil are strong, but Portugal are not weak, and if we can draw against Portugal, it means we have a chance against Brazil. ”

To which Dunga simply responded: "Brazil is Brazil, don't compare Brazil to any other team." There is only one team in the world that has won the World Cup five times, and that is Brazil. ”

Brazil made just one change compared to the first game, with Ronaldo suffering a bit of knee discomfort and Fabiano starting in his place.

For the first time, the Sao Paulo Five made their appearance on the World Cup stage at the same time.

The team that swept South America back then finally joined forces again, and this time they will no longer face the South American giants, but the whole world.

In the locker room before the start of the game, five good friends formed a circle, put their shoulders on each other, and put their heads together.

"In this game, I don't accept any result other than a win. In this World Cup, I don't accept any results other than the championship. Brothers, work together! Ricardo shouted.

"Work hard!" Everyone shouted in unison.

After the ceremony, Ricardo called the whole team together and gave advice.

As the current captain of the Brazilian national team, he is slowly getting acquainted with his responsibilities and he thinks it is necessary for the captain to emphasize it after the manager has made the arrangements.

"The media think that Côte d'Ivoire has the qualifications to challenge us," said Licardo, "and that Côte d'Ivoire could end the World Cup with no African team beating Brazil." ”

After a pause, seeing the disdainful or angry expressions on the faces of his teammates, Ricardo continued in a calm voice: "Uncomfortable, right? I also felt uncomfortable. Then show them how wrong they are with our performance on the field! ”

After picking the side, Ivory Coast kicked off. As soon as the referee's whistle blew, the Brazilian team rushed up fiercely to press.

The Ivory Coast took the ball to the back to slow down the tempo, but the Brazilians swarmed up and kept on the ball.

In a panic, Chlo. Toure kicked the ball up and tried to find Drogba, but the Brazilian pushed it down. Brazil fought back on the spot.

After the ball reached Kaka's feet, Kaka did not hesitate and sent a through ball over the top to the left. Ricardo plugged in at high speed, slammed the ball with his chest, then padded his thigh, parked the ball comfortably, and sent the half-high ball to the middle.

Fabiano lunged forward, diving in one leap and touching the ball before the Ivorian player. He flicked his head and the ball changed direction and flew quickly towards the goal. Ivorian goalkeeper Barry raised his hand only symbolically.

Just 29 seconds into the game, Brazil opened the scoring! It was the fastest goal of the tournament so far.

At this time, many Ivorian players were already down by one goal before they were even in the game.

"Fabiano Goallllllll!" The commentator excitedly introduced, "This is Fabiano's first goal of the World Cup and his 26th goal for the Brazilian national team!" Although he has made good appearances for the national team and has been a fringe player before, his goalscoring efficiency is really good. His performances at club level were mediocre and he never managed to integrate into European football, but his performances for the national team were still impressive. ”

'With Ronaldo injured, he is really the best replacement for Ronaldo. I'm not saying he can replace Ronaldo, Ronaldo is unique and irreplaceable. However, Fabiano does have what it takes to build a siege for Brazil. ”

Côte d'Ivoire, which was lagging behind, did not immediately attack in a big way. After all, this is just the beginning of the game, and it is not yet time to break the boat.

Using their strong midfield, Ivory Coast calmly played Brazil around.

But Brazil has Thiago. Silva's backline, along with Lucio and McConn, was not so easy to break down and Ivory Coast never found a good chance and could only make a slight threat through free-kicks and corners.

Brazil, on the other hand, were able to use the change of tempo to suddenly accelerate their attacking play, leaving the Ivory Coast backline exhausted.

For some reason, Ivory Coast coach Eriksen did not arrange a special person to mark Ricardo, giving Licardo too many opportunities to take the ball calmly.

Soon they suffered.
