Chapter 1178: On the eve of the semifinals

Scolari is looking for the weakness of the Chinese team, why is Guardiola not looking for the weakness of the Brazilian team?

Especially with Thiago Silva suspended for accumulating yellow cards, Guardiola has seen Brazil's defensive weaknesses become more and more apparent.

Pep Guardiola is ready to take advantage of this, and he is ready to control the game with the passing ball that China is proud of, and although Wu Xi will miss the next semi-final, he believes the team's operation in midfield will not be too much of a problem.

Zhang Xizhe can solve the attack in the midfield, and Huang Bowen's ability is not as strong as Wu Xiqiang, but there is no problem in making long passes and distributing the ball.

Taking advantage of Wu Xi's inability to appear, he can also try the partnership of Huang Bowen and Zhao Xuri.

With a strong midfielder Zhao Xuri, at least the Chinese team will not be too weak in midfield interception, and then the midfielders can free up more energy to attack, and then rely on Ailuo's super personal ability to harass in the frontcourt, and it will not be too difficult to win the game.

Solving the problem of offensive and defensive balance, Iroh and others can take turns to attack the huge weakness of David Luiz, and I believe that as the game progresses, the pressure on David Luiz will increase, and the problems exposed will be greater.

The day before the competition, the Chinese team had their last joint practice at the venue provided by the Brazilian Organizing Committee.

In this regard, Brazilian fans naturally will not let the Chinese team prepare for the game so easily.

Although the venue provided by the Brazilian organizing committee is closed, don't forget that this is Brazilian soil, and the Brazilians on this land are fans of the Brazilian team, and if they are not careful in carrying out their duties, it will be convenient for those die-hard fans who want to interfere with the preparation of the Chinese team.

Really!

Not long after the Chinese team began to conduct technical and tactical drills, a loud noise suddenly sounded on the periphery of the stadium.

Faced with this situation, Pep Guardiola had no choice but to suspend training because of the loud noise that prevented the players from focusing on training, and if they were forced to train, it would likely cause unexpected disruption to tomorrow's game.

At most, Pep Guardiola could only ask the team leader to negotiate with the head of the stadium.

However, the fans who insisted on harassing were prepared, always leaving the stadium before the security personnel came out, and when the security personnel left, they started to make noise again.

Back and forth a few times, Guardiola had a bit of a headache, and in the end he had to give up, cancel the last run-in before the game of skills and tactics, and replace it with recovery training.

He thinks that the team has been honed into shape anyway, even if there is no way to run in before the game, the game will not be able to get into the state as soon as possible, but a game is 90 minutes, as long as you can win the game, it will take longer to get into the game.

Faced with this situation, the captain Ailuo was also very annoyed, and he secretly made up his mind that tomorrow's semi-finals would definitely let these fans know - how many eyes does Ma Wang Ye have!

The Chinese team are the favourites to win the championship, and the last practice before the game naturally attracted a lot of media attention, although they did not have the means to watch the Chinese team train in the stadium, but they could wait for the training to end and interview the players.

So they stuck outside the stadium and caught a huge news - Brazilian fans harassed the Chinese team in the last practice!

Naturally, the media from China felt very unhappy, how could they do this as the host?

Is this what hospitality is all about?

At the same time, the Brazilian media are also unhappy, although they do not want the Chinese team to have a good preparation environment, but they do not want their fans to harass in such a blatant way, which is tantamount to telling fans all over the world that the fans of the host country Brazil are so unqualified.

This is a complete discredit for the whole country!

In the 21st century, the speed at which information spreads is astonishing, and the news of the disruption caused by Brazilian fans to the preparation of the Chinese team quickly spread around the world, and most fans expressed their dissatisfaction with this practice of Brazilian fans.

Especially the Chinese fans who are thousands of miles away, they have already started to scold - mother, just ...... And then the eggs.

An hour later, the Chinese team finished their recovery training, and the organizers re-allowed the media to enter the stadium for interviews.

It is easy for media reporters to distinguish Guardiola's ugly face, and in the face of reporters' questions, he expressed his strong dissatisfaction.

"Should our opponent in the semi-finals be Brazil deserved to be treated like this? Tomorrow is the semi-finals, and we won't be given a minute of joint practice today? And also...... I would like to ask, what are the security guards doing at the stadium? Again and again, 'coincidentally' staggered the time with the troublesome fans, don't tell me that those fans are really so powerful! ”

As Guardiola's mood swings grew, the faces of journalists from local Brazilian media outlets became darker......

The next day, the overwhelming coverage was almost entirely from Brazilian fans harassing the Chinese team's final practice before the game.

Even the troublesome Brazilian fans didn't expect that their spur of the light would put them on the cusp.

The president of the Brazilian organizing committee, Sanchez, admitted his mistake to the media at the first time, and then announced that the troublemakers would be identified through CCTV replays, and then the troublemakers who had tickets for the semi-finals would be expelled from the semi-finals stadium.

Sanchez's hand is quite beautiful, making a selfless appearance, which can be regarded as a temporary relief of the crisis of face damage.

The 2014 World Cup semi-final between China and Brazil was the first semi-final of the tournament and was played at the Arena Mineiro in the city of Belo Horizonte.

There was no doubt that the match was packed, and the stadium was filled with yellow Brazilian fans and red Chinese fans.

It is worth mentioning that on the day of the match, there is still half a day before the game, and the Mineiro Arena is surrounded by fans from both sides of the game.

Because yesterday's incident has been fermented for a day, many Chinese fans are very dissatisfied with what the Brazilian fans have done, even if Sanchez apologizes, there is still no way to make the mood of the Chinese fans feel better, so the security personnel of the Mineiro Arena need to remind 100% of the spirit to focus on the fans on both sides.

If there were a large-scale brawl before the game, it would also damage the face of the whole country......

As the days went by, the first semi-final of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil drew closer and closer, and the atmosphere of the game became more and more frenetic.

The attention of the fans on both sides gradually returned to cheering on their supporting team, which also gave the security staff at the Mineiro Arena a sigh of relief......
