No. 458: Who will be the brightest star of the World Cup in South Africa?
South Africa is in full swing as this is the first time the continent has hosted the world's premier tournament. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
When it comes time for the tournament to begin, they will host fans from all over the world, and will host the 32 teams that have reached the World Cup finals.
The thirty-two qualifier-tested teams are actively recovering in preparation for the upcoming quadrennial top-flight tournament.
In addition to reporting on the preparations and warm-up matches of various giants, media around the world have also begun to predict who will become the biggest star of this World Cup.
The Spanish media believes that the biggest stars are Ronaldo and Messi, Ronaldo has faded from the youth of the 06 World Cup and has become the leader of Portugal.
He has a good chance of shining in this World Cup.
As for Messi, although this is his first World Cup, he has been in hot form in recent years, his skills have become more and more perfect, and he is likely to soar.
Argentina is also likely to win the World Cup under the leadership of Maradona, becoming the second double champion after Beckenbauer to win both the World Cup as a player and a coach.
Of course, the Spanish media believes that Spain is also very likely to win the World Cup, after all, Spain is the winner of the 08 European Championship, after all, with the growth of a group of midfield superstars such as Xavi and Iniesta, Barcelona has become the hottest team in football today.
Spain have followed the Barcelona style of play and will be the biggest favourites to win the World Cup in South Africa.
The British media certainly believe that the British team is the favourites to win the title, a country that has always considered itself to be the center of the world, and with the strong performance of the Premier League in the Champions League, they have doubled their confidence.
But when it came to which star would shine at this World Cup, they unanimously chose Wayne Rooney and Chen Fan.
It is very normal to support Wayne Rooney, after all, Rooney is a popular striker in the England team.
As for supporting Chen Fan, it has something to do with the season that has just ended.
"The first player to score more than 40 goals in a single season, there's no reason why Chan shouldn't shock the world at the World Cup."
The Manchester City Evening said: "Chen has proven in the Premier League that he can be a lone hero and can save the team on his own. ”
"It turns out that when the Netherlands needs people to save them the most, Chen will stand up!"
Could it be that Manchester City's media has changed?
Chen Fan was very puzzled.
His friend Fang Jinyu solved his doubts: "British culture advocates teamwork, not American-style lone heroes, so they don't care who will be lone heroes." ”
Only then did Chen Fan understand what was going on.
Of course, the Dutch media believe that their team is the favourite to win the championship, and the Netherlands has never been short of talent, and this year's national team is full of talent and talent.
"As long as the Dutch team can come together, they can beat everything!"
This is the Telegraph's point of view, and it also speaks to their concerns.
There is no infighting in the Dutch team now, and the Ajax gang such as Sneijder and Chen Fan, who have played at Ajax, are strong, and there is no other force that can compete with them.
In addition, Van der Meyer, the spiritual leader of the team, has a very high prestige and suppresses all discordant voices.
The Dutch team looks at the moment. The atmosphere was very good.
……
Before leaving Amsterdam for South Africa, the Netherlands played a warm-up match against South American giants Uruguay at Ajax's home stadium in Amsterdam.
When the two sides warmed up, Chen Fan finally met Suarez at the Amsterdam Stadium after a year.
Two former friends hugging each other.
Suarez has now become Ajax's undisputed striker and has been a key contributor to Ajax's Eredivisie title defence this season.
"Damn, I didn't expect you to score so many goals in the Premier League!"
Suarez punched Chen Fan in the chest and said enviously: "Sooner or later, I will go to the Premier League to prove myself, boy, you have to wait for me." ”
Chen Fan said with a smile: "You have to hurry up, maybe when you come, I will already leave the Premier League." ”
Speaking of this, the Uruguayan striker's eyes lit up and he asked in a low voice: "Where are you going?" Spanish? Real madrid? Barcelona? ”
Then he thought of something, and said with a pout: "Boy, you are too confident, do you think that you can help Arsenal win the Champions League in the past two years?" ”
Chen Fan didn't answer his question, and changed the topic and asked, "How many years are you still going to hone in Ajax?" ”
Suarez thought for a moment and said: "Wait a few more years, I don't want to rush to the top league, I want to hone my skills at Ajax again, and when I think I can be the top league and become the top scorer and the strongest contender, I will not think about leaving here." ”
People have their own ambitions and different views on things, and Chen Fan has no intention of imposing his ideas on him.
"Good! Whether we are teammates or rivals in the future, I am waiting for you! ”
……
At eight o'clock in the evening, the warm-up match started on time, in order to test the state of the players and run in the lineup, the coaches of both sides did not send the strongest starting lineup.
Sneijder, who finished the game late, and the Dutch duo were both on the bench.
The Dutch starting strikers were Huntelaar, Arjen Robben and Kuyt, while Van Marwijk was in an attacking four-three-three.
Uruguay's forward line is led by Luis Suarez, who plays for Palermo in Serie A.
After the start of the game, after a trial, the Netherlands took the lead in picking up the pace, and in the third minute of the opening game, Robben suddenly cut inside with the ball on the side and fired a long shot from outside the box.
The ball is deflected wide of the goal.
In the following time, the Netherlands at home were in control of the tempo of the game, and Uruguay could only rely on the play of their stars to make quick counter-attacks.
In the 37th minute of the first half, Dutch centre-back Oyer was cut off by Savani for a poor handling of the ball, and then Savani passed the ball to Suarez on the left.
Suarez suddenly shoots from distance in the face of Heitinga's defense!
Soccer ball hangs in the dead end!
The ball is in!
The score became 1-0!
Van Marwijk immediately re-line-up, allowing Sneijder and Robin van Persie to come on the pitch at the back.
In the face of the Dutch's frantic attack, Uruguay stubbornly maintained a one-goal advantage until the end of the first half.
After a fifteen-minute half-time break, the two sides changed sides and fought again, and the Dutch team, under the leadership of Sneijder, attacked the Uruguayan defense again and again.
However, several strikers were not in the best condition, squandering the chances created by the midfielder again and again.
At the start of the second half, Uruguay also began to change their line-up, with veterans Forlan and Fernandes replacing Suarez and Savani.
In the seventeenth minute of the second half, Uruguay got a direct free kick opportunity in front, and Forlan took the free kick around the wall and flew into the net from the top right corner of the goal!
The ball is in!
Two to zero!
This left the Dutch fans in the stands stunned, hasn't Van Marwijk been emphasizing defense?
Why let Uruguay score two goals?
The Dutch media reporters on the sidelines were furious, damn Van Marwijk, is it that when the game is over, you will use the sentence "Uruguay had better luck than us, so they won." "Come and deal with us?
