Such a dense and complicated schedule of matches is a very serious test for the Spanish team.

Thankfully, the 32 teams participating in the World Cup, including hosts South Africa, are all on the same starting line, and everyone is the same, and they all need to constantly travel between the three cities in the group stage, which is a test for Spain, and the same is true for other teams.

In this month-long World Cup, all the team with ambition and ambition can do is to grit their teeth and persevere, and see who has more stamina and confidence, and can persist until the end, then who is more likely to achieve good results.

After arriving in Nelspruit, the Spanish national team spent a day reversing the jet lag, because there was not much time left before the official start of the World Cup, so the Matadors were quickly in a state of preparation and began to adapt to the continent and the city.

After all, it is a continent that has never been set foot in, and Nelspruit is also a city that everyone is unfamiliar with, the terrain here is different from Europe, and if you want to play the strength of the team in a strange land, then you can only integrate into this land as soon as possible.

If you say that in China, most of the training camps of the Spanish team are mainly based on basic training, but after coming to South Africa, the amount of training has gradually begun to increase, and more of them are based on actual combat, and the intra-team matches will be held every other day.

Through a few intra-team matches, some players showed good competitive condition and adapted to the new venue quickly, of course, there were also players who performed mediocre and did not adapt to the new environment and failed to perform at the level they should have.

Also taking this opportunity, Bosque is conducting a final inspection of his team, and is also making a final evaluation and consideration of the main lineup.

A week after arriving in Nelspruit, the Spanish national team played a warm-up match against a local professional team.

This team is a second-division team in the South African professional league, and its full name is called Nelspruit Football Team, which is not well-known and is little known in the world. But after all, it is a professional team, and it is more than enough to use the Matador Army as an object of training.

The final result of this game was 11-0, and Spain scored a crazy big victory, even piling up the number of goals in double digits.

Strikers Villa and Fernando Torres both scored two goals each, and most of the Real Madrid players who received a ban in the last round were given a chance to start and performed well. Alonso also had a goal on his own.

The most laughable thing is the team's two defenders, as a right wing-back, Ramos frequently inserted assists in the game, and scored a goal smoothly, and what is even more incredible may be the last warm-up game lost to the French team, the whole field was blown up without shame, Pique, who seems to be suffocated, all the anger erupted on the opponent in this game, as a central defender, he actually scored three goals with his head and feet, and scored a hat trick.

Van Bizhuang did not start, he only came on as a substitute for Villa in the 74th minute of the second half, and his performance was not outstanding, but he was not bad, he did not score, but he did have an assist, and his cross after a wide break led for former club team-mate Cazorla to score.

The effect of this almost slaughter-like victory was extremely obvious, the impact of the big loss to the French team gradually faded, the players all had smiles on their faces, and their confidence was restored a lot, so that everyone had a lot more expectations for the World Cup schedule that will start later.

Victory is the best booster, and it is true that three days later, Spain played another "exchange match" against another local semi-professional and half-amateur team, and the result was naturally another big victory.

Although the opponents in these two friendly matches are not strong, and can even be attributed to the "fish belly" level, even if it wins more, no matter how big the score is, it has no practical significance, but through the two victories, the Spanish team has gradually accumulated its own momentum, which is very helpful for the upcoming World Cup schedule.

The players are very happy with the successive victories, and Fan Bizhuang is also very satisfied, although he came off the bench in both games, leaving him not too much time to perform, but as a newcomer to the national team, it is also extremely good to have consistent playing time.

The only regret is that in two games, he failed to score a goal, no goals, as two consecutive seasons of La Liga Golden Boot, but on the African continent has not been able to get a good start, somewhat unbeautiful.

But there is still a long way to go, the World Cup has not officially started, and he still has a chance to score the first official goal in a major tournament of his international career.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The Spanish national team is making final preparations for the upcoming World Cup, and all the teams that have come to South Africa, including South African politics... fu, they are also in full swing to prepare.

After the time entered June, the top 32 of this World Cup arrived in South Africa one after another, and the whole earth officially entered the World Cup time.

The streets of various cities in South Africa are full of huge World Cup posters, the national flags of the top 32 teams of the World Cup can be seen everywhere, and fans of different colors in fancy clothes and different colors are shuttling back and forth in Cape Town, Bloemfontein, Johannesburg and other match cities.

Not only in South Africa, fans and businesses from all over the world are warming up for the World Cup, and the World Cup mascot "Zakumi" is selling well everywhere, both real fans and pseudo-fans are proud to talk about football, talk about the World Cup, and be ashamed of not understanding football. Whether it's a student or a white-collar worker, or even a politician. FU official, the greeting after the meeting has long changed from "hello" and "the weather is nice today" to "what do you think of the World Cup?" "Let's watch the World Cup together, shall we?"

The impact of the World Cup has now spread to the whole world.

On June 3, with the arrival of the South American powerhouse Chile, FIFA announced that all 32 teams participating in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa have reached their residences.

The countdown to the World Cup has officially begun!

With a week to go until the opening game and the latter groups coming later, many teams will be looking for suitable opponents for their final warm-up matches, and the same is true for Spain, who are in Group H and have their first match on 16 June, leaving them with almost two weeks to prepare.

Taking advantage of this time, the Spanish team played two warm-up matches again, namely Chile in South America and North Korea in Asia, and the result was that both games were won, one 1:0 and the other 3:0.

The Chilean team is a team with good strength, although Spain won, but the game process is very difficult, as for North Korea, a mysterious country from the East, although there has been public opinion that the little-known North Korean team is likely to become a big dark horse in this World Cup, but after the actual fight, Spain is very sure that the North Korean team is just a "weak team" at the end of the crane, and it takes much effort to defeat them.

After losing to the French team, Spain was ashamed and brave, ushering in four consecutive wins in the warm-up match. Although the strength of the opponents is different, the ability to win consecutive games is enough to show that the team's form is developing in a good direction.

The consecutive wins also made the new European champion jump to second place in the odds offered by many bookmakers to win the championship, only behind the five-star champion Brazil of the World Cup.

Time is slowly passing in the anticipation of fans all over the world, and the pace of the start of the World Cup is getting closer and closer.

Ellis Park Stadium opened after 9 a.m. to warm up the seats for fans who arrived early, as the South African team had to parade before the opening ceremony, and many Johannesburg residents took various props to their balconies at home, or poured into the streets to party the South African team as they paraded through the city.

In just 30 minutes of the opening ceremony, South Africans incorporated strong elements belonging to South Africa and Africa into the performance.

South Africans interpret the World Cup's understanding of football in their own national way, with more than a dozen players playing street soccer counting down the clock with a variety of fancy juggling balls. The huge banners falling from the sky, the singing and dancing of South Africans, the singing of jazz bands, and the relaxed and bright rhythm of "Akaaka" with African characteristics have made this grand event even before it really began, and the fiery atmosphere has been broadcast on TV to every corner of the world.
