"Audience friends, good evening, welcome to the World Cup special program that is broadcast regularly every day - the feast of the giants."

Zhang Bin, the famous host of CCTV Sports Channel, appeared on TV again:

"There are still three days to go before the start of the World Cup, and the preparation of 32 teams has also entered the end, just yesterday, the last round of warm-up matches was also announced, and the World Cup is getting closer and closer to us. Yuxi, can you tell you what new news you have recently? ”

He was accompanied by Liu Yuxi, the young female host of the basketball program:

In a warm-up match between Germany and Armenia that just ended, German striker Marco Reuss was unfortunately injured in the scramble, and according to the diagnosis of experts later, Reuss partially torn the tibiofibular ligament in his left ankle and will miss 100% of the World Cup in Brazil.

Known as the 'Little Rocket', Reus is the star of the Bundesliga powerhouse Borussia Dortmund and the representative of the new generation of German football.

Compared with Germany, there are still a few strong days are not easy, the French team's attacking core Franck Ribery, Dutch midfielder Van der Vaart, Italy's main midfielder Montolivo, Colombian striker 'Tiger' Falcao have been knocked down by injuries and had to withdraw from this World Cup, the absence of these stars may have a huge impact on the strength and tactics of each team, and the coaches must have a headache. ”

Liu Yuxi paused slightly and breathed a sigh of relief:

"In addition to this, there are a few small tidbits......

On the evening of June 8, French media revealed that the African Lions Cameroon team was supposed to board the plane to Brazil as scheduled, but the team broke out into infighting before boarding. The reason is that the players think that the prize money offered by the Football Association is too small......

It is reported that the Cameroon Football Association has prepared a match bonus of 37,000 euros for each player, which is the smallest number of all participating teams, and it is no wonder that even if the presidential plane came to pick them up, they refused to board the plane, but fortunately, the president's official residence publicly promised to greatly improve the treatment of players, and the players led by Eto'o took the first step to go to Brazil.

In addition, the hotel where the Italian team was about to stay was found to have serious food safety problems, and a surprise inspection by the government department found that a large amount of food sold in the hotel was unsafely safe, and some expired food was even served directly to the table.

The same problem was also found in the hotel of the England team, and it is not difficult to see that the organizers still face quite a lot of problems if the World Cup in Brazil wants to be held smoothly. ”

Zhang Bin smiled:

"Fortunately, the Chinese team has already airlifted the food they need to Brazil in advance, which is a foresight on the part of the Football Association...... Let's focus on the latest situation of the Chinese team. ”

As soon as he arrived at the Chinese team, Zhang Da went into battle in person:

"After the end of the warm-up match with Uruguay, the Chinese team did not play a second game, but continued to concentrate on training, according to the reporter's interview, in the last three days, the training content of the Chinese team is still familiar with the tactics, and the training volume will be appropriately reduced, so that the players can maintain physical fitness, now please see the real-time interview brought by the reporter in front of the ......"

As soon as the picture turned, Zhu Xiaoyu, who was guarding outside the training ground, appeared in the camera:

"Standing next to me is the captain of the national team, Long Shute, can you talk about the current state of the team?"

This topic has already been interviewed before, so there is no hesitation in answering it:

"We are in very good shape, the Football Association has done a good job of logistics, we have not had any injuries at the moment, we are not too bad, the players are training according to the established schedule, I believe this form can continue until the official start of the World Cup."

Zhu Xiaoyu nodded again and again:

"As the captain of the national team, have you ever thought about how far we can go in this tournament with our strength?"

As a royal reporter who followed Lonshute for a season, his questioning level has been improved to a certain extent, otherwise he would have directly asked "what is the goal set by the Football Association for the team"......

Long Shute thought for a moment, and replied with a little seriousness:

"After the group stage draw came out, most people actually thought it was a good draw, and I was no exception. But during this time, by analyzing the data and observing the state, I had to overturn my previous understanding.

Our first opponent, Ivory Coast, is 23rd in the just-released FIFA rankings, just four places above us. Colombia in the second game is the 8th team in the world, and the third opponent Greece is also ranked 12th, and we have the lowest ranking among the four teams in the group stage, which is an objective fact and we have to face it.

However, this does not mean that we have no hope of qualifying, because the FIFA rankings are not absolute, and even if they are, there are countless examples of weak defeats on the football field, not to mention that these opponents are not invulnerable.

The highest-ranked Colombia have not played in this top-level tournament for many years since the 1998 World Cup and their players are inexperienced, while we have already played in a Confederations Cup last year, playing against top teams such as Italy and Spain.

The Greek team has a tough style of play, but their tactics are relatively simple, they are weak in attack, there are more veterans in the Ivory Coast team, there was a bit of discord two days ago, and the general lack of motivation of the players are weaknesses that we can exploit.

So, if I had to predict, we could get at least two wins in the group stage and there should be no problem in qualifying for the knockout rounds. As for how far the knockout rounds can go, that's not something we can think about right now, after all...... There are a lot of teams in our district, and this is almost the most competitive of the four regions. ”

Long Shute smiled, and finally made a joke:

"By the way, if there are fans who want the Chinese team to win the final championship, then I must pour a little cold water here, I hope you don't spray me after the game, we have indeed made some progress in recent years, but these improvements are not enough for us to win the championship. Well, of course, it's not entirely impossible to win the championship......"

He subconsciously wanted to pretend to be forced, but finally endured this kind of degrading behavior.

The national team is not a club after all!

-

The scene returns to the studio.

Liu Yuxi said with a smile:

"It can be seen that after just winning the fourth Champions League title in his career, our young captain Long still maintains a very clear mind, for the three opponents in the group stage, he sees both the objective strength of the other party, but also their weaknesses, and hopes that this sobriety can lead the Chinese team to victory."

Zhang Bin also nodded:

"That's right, as Long Shute said, the opponent is very strong, but we also have the opportunity, neither too negative, nor too optimistic, to keep a normal heart, step by step, down-to-earth progress."

As a blockbuster program, "Feast of the Wealthy" is not only news and interviews, but also celebrities from all walks of life in culture and sports have appeared on the stage to brush up on their presence, and those rookies have cut their heads to rub the heat.

The lineup hosted on the scene not only included Zhang Bin's team, but also professionals such as Zhang Lu, Xu Yang, Sun Baojie, and even arranged a super model to attract male audiences......

Zhao Zhongxiang performed a commentary on the version of "Animal World" at the scene.

Grandpa Bi took the top three players of the year from "Avenue of Stars" and the sports channel team to learn football skills on the spot.

The ambassadors of Spain and the Netherlands to China dissect the 2010 World Cup finals on the spot.

Later, it was not only a football power, the program team invited almost half of the country's ambassadors to China to come to the studio to predict the results of their national team, of course, eating people softly, these ambassadors were either convinced, or insincerely praised a few words "The strength of the Chinese team is also very strong", "Captain Long is the first in the world, long live", and created a small atmosphere of "all countries come to the dynasty".

Later, these ambassadors also came up with ingenuity, bringing the special food of their respective countries to the program team, sharing it with the host and the audience, and the whole studio was filled with a strong aroma, turning this football program into a food program.

In addition, Shui Junyi, Zhu Xun affectionately engaged in charity, Sha Baoliang, Li Yundi, Wang Zhengliang, Li Yuchun, Chen Chusheng, Zhang Liangying, sang on stage, Lang Lang played the piano, Wu Qilong, Huang Zheng, Wang Zhizhi, Tan Jing, stars from all walks of life shared their experience of watching the ball, Miao Fu, Wang Sheng, Wang Zijian led a group of language performers to dedicate jokes, Lin Chiling became the "most famous commentator", many beauties competed to be vases, three tenors talked about the singing and dancing performance of the opening ceremony, Ma Mingyu, Hao Haidong, Fan Zhiyi and other former international players sent blessings, international students from all over the world performed programs, Grassroots fans were interviewed, representatives of provincial football associations praised the dividends of China's football reform, and even found various animals such as goldfish, cats, police dogs, and alpacas to predict which team would win......

As the World Cup gets closer, the show's ratings are also climbing.

Although the quality and production level of the program have been repeatedly criticized, it is undeniable that CCTV, which has huge resources, is still the leader in this industry, not to mention ...... They have a monopoly on the exclusive rights to the World Cup, and they have established close ties with FIFA, and other media outlets are completely in no position to do this kind of all-round coverage.

The time slowly came to June 12th.

The 2014 World Cup in Brazil has finally kicked off!

The quadrennial football feast has finally begun!
