The Brazilians' unique approach to play was unexpected, and it also attracted the cheers of countless fans in attendance, and as time passed, the opening match of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil officially began.

The Brazilian players participating in this World Cup may not be the worst Brazilian national team, but they can definitely be said to be the most mediocre team.

In the frontcourt, in addition to Neymar and Oscar have a certain popularity, not many people in the world know his name, and the double back partner Gutaswo is only somewhat well-known in the Bundesliga, not to mention his partner Paulinho, Brazil is not well-known at all......

How can such a mediocre Brazilian team help the historic five-star Brazil to achieve great things?

Obviously, the World Cup journey is a long way to go for the current Brazilian team.

But I have to say that the Brazilian team still has a certain chance to go to the end by taking advantage of the home field, after all...... The most important thing to ignore in a soccer game is the stat bonus from the home field. ’

On the contrary, Croatia as a whole is not weak.

In terms of midfield configuration alone, Croatia can even wrestle with the World Cup giants, with the core of their midfield being Modric, who has won the Champions League with Chelsea and Valencia, and his partner is Rakitic, the core captain who led Sevilla to the Europa League.

Coupled with the talented teenager Kovacic from Inter Milan, before the game, Croatian coach Blazevic even said: "We are not afraid of anyone, because we have the best midfielders in the world!" ”

It is worth mentioning that the German media "Transfer Market" revealed that Barcelona has already taken a fancy to Croatian midfielder Rakitic, and it is said that as long as the price is right, this transfer will be realized......

And the talented teenager Kovacic has also received the attention of Real Madrid, if nothing else, Croatia's midfield trio will represent the three giants of La Liga and stage Croatia's international derby......

Brazil and Croatia have only met twice, the first in a 1-1 draw at Split Arena in 2005 and the second in the group stage of the 2006 World Cup in Germany, when Brazil relied on Kaka's goal to beat their opponents.

Although Brazil are unbeaten against Croatia, the start of the game was not good for Brazil.

The first goal of the 2014 World Cup opener in Brazil came in the 10th minute, when Luka Modric instigated the attack in the middle, and former Bayern star Olic accelerated directly down the left flank, and then suddenly swept the ball towards the middle of the goal with 15 meters from the baseline, and striker Jelavic scrambled to shoot but did not hit the middle of the goal.

Coincidentally, Jelavic's scramble shot missed the middle of the pitch but led to a mistake by Marcelo, who had been defending in the middle, and fired the ball into his own goal.

Other words...... The first goal of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil came and the first one was an own goal .......

It is worth mentioning that Marcelo's goal was also the first goal in the history of the World Cup to be scored as his first goal in the World Cup.

I don't know if the first goal conceded was an own goal that triggered the morale of the players, and in the following period, the Brazilian team took advantage of the home advantage to take over the game directly, and had to retreat to the half without the main striker Mandzukic.

At 22 years old and in the number 10 jersey, Neymar is the hope of Brazilian fans looking forward to the World Cup.

At the national anthem ceremony before the game, Neymar listened to the overwhelming national anthem and shed tears, playing the World Cup for the first time, he knew that he was carrying the hope of 200 million Brazilians!

He also showed his superior individual ability in the following game time, which caused Croatia's backline to make frequent mistakes.

But...... Brazil controlled the pace of the game, but it seemed a little scoreless, and the impatience of the players was vividly reflected after conceding the goal.

It wasn't until the 29th minute of the game that Brazil relied on Neymar's play to equalize.

Oscar broke the ball near the centre circle and launched a direct counter-attack, Neymar won the ball, shook off the angle of the shot at the top of the arc, and fired a low left-footed shot, although goalkeeper Pletticosa reacted quickly, there was still no way, the ball grazed the right post and rolled into the net.

1：1

It was Neymar's 32nd goal in his 50th international appearance, moving him to joint ninth in the all-time scorer list and becoming Brazil's youngest player in 50 games.

In addition, this goal is also the first time that Brazil's No. 10 has scored in a World Cup since the World Cup in South Korea and Japan.

Croatia quickly adjusted their strategy after conceding the goal, focusing more on their defence, and showed a stubborn stance just half an hour into the game.

At half-time, the Croatians' tactics were very successful and they went into the dressing room with a score of 1:1.

※※※

In fact, the game is not in the control of the Croatians.

Although they defended well, they were unable to maintain the scoreline.

In the 69th minute, Oscar crossed diagonally from the side, and Lovren reached out to pull Fred, who fell to the ground, Lovren received a yellow card, and at the same time gave Brazil a penalty opportunity.

As the only hope of Brazilian fans in this World Cup, Neymar took the initiative to take the hard-won penalty.

He withstood the pressure and fired the ball into the back of the net, and Brazil put the score in the lead!!

"This is Neymar's 33rd goal in 50 games for the national team, and the young Neymar is already the top 10 scorer in the history of the Brazilian national team, second only to Pele with 77 goals, Zico with 66 goals, Ronaldo with 62 goals, Romario with 55 goals, Bebeto with 39 goals, Rivaldo with 34 goals, Ronaldo and Jal Kinjo with 33 goals, tied for the 7th scorer in the history of the Brazilian team!"

At the same time, commentators on Brazilian national television chanted hysterically and cheered for Neymar.

The game continued, and the two sides made personnel changes in response to their respective problems.

It wasn't until the 91st minute that Brazil relied on Oscar's goal to extend the score.

In the face of the frontal defense of the two Croatian central defenders, Oscar did not have any fear, but chose to pass directly between the two, using the change of speed and rhythm to find the gap between the shots, raising his eyes to aim at the position of the opponent's goalkeeper slightly forward, stabbing with his right foot at the top of the arc, and sending the ball into the bottom left corner.

Like Neymar, it was Oscar's 10th goal in 30 international appearances and his first major goal, having previously scored all nine in friendlies.

3：1

And this score is also the final score of the game.

Brazil had a thrilling attempt to eat European powerhouse Croatia and win the opening game.
