19. The first match of the group stage

Portuguese right-back Pacos Ferreira, who plays with Didier Drogba with Chelsea FC, said in an interview yesterday: "Didier Drogba is undoubtedly the Ivory Coast heavyweight and he has scored so many goals for Ivory Coast. For any team, the absence of a star like him would be a huge loss. ”

On the question of whether Drogba can return to play in time, Ferreira said with a smile: "I hope he had better stay off the pitch, it's better for us!" ”

The star of the Portuguese national team, Cristiano 61 Ronaldo, also came out to be interviewed by media reporters, but there were not many questions about Drogba for his interview, and more questions focused on Cristiano 61 Ronaldo's goal drought.

Cristiano 61 Ronaldo's performance in the Portuguese national team is really very poor, and he has not scored in the Portuguese national team for more than half a year, almost a year. Of course, people were very concerned about this and asked him.

"It's the same with waiting for buses, you may not have one for a long time, but you may have several at once." Faced with such a question, Cristiano 61 Ronaldo replied so wittily.

Cristiano 61 Ronaldo also said: "I'm not worried, I train as usual, only God knows who is training hard and who deserves to score. I'm very calm about it. ”

Before the game started, the two sides played hotly before the game, and from the interviews of both teams, they attached great importance to this game and hoped to win this game.

From the point of view of both sides, this game will determine whether the two sides can qualify from this group, and they certainly attach great importance to it.

This match is the first match of Group 7 and this game will be played at the Mandela Bay Stadium.

The Mandela Bay Course is located in Port Elizabeth, Mandela's hometown. Due to historical factors such as apartheid, the city has not had a professional stadium. In 2007, the city government spent US$282 million to build a new stadium, and the Mandela Bay Stadium was the first of the five new stadiums to be built for the Shijie Cup.

The Mandela Bay Course is ultimately located on the banks of the river at Prince Alfred Park in North Lake, at the northern end of the city, north of the CBD, close to the main highway and surrounded by water on three sides. The transportation is convenient and the environment is beautiful.

The course is also boldly designed with this feature in mind, with each ceiling at the top resembling flower petals, enclosing the course into a "lotus flower" that blooms at the water's edge. The stadium also has 150 VIP boxes, 60 business boxes, 1 sportswear store, gym, 500 parking spaces, and other meeting venues.

You can say that the course is very good, very standard, and it is very good to play in a stadium like this.

On the day of the game, it was crowded with people, and the stands of the entire stadium were packed, and a large number of local fans came to the stadium with Vuvuzuna to watch the pinnacle matchup. Of course, there were also a lot of Ivorian and Portuguese fans who came to watch the game and support their team.

Today, there were a lot of Portuguese fans who flew from Portugal to South Africa to watch the game, and they formed a phalanx to cheer for the Portuguese national team. Fans of the Portuguese national team held aloft banners of the national flag and, of course, posters of their favorite stars.

The atmosphere of the whole stadium is very good, of course, if it were not for the sound of Vuvuzuna, because the sound is so confusing.

"CCTV, CCTV, hello audience friends, this is CCTV Channel 5, I'm Duan Xuan!" Duan Xuan, a football commentator on CCTV's sports channel, began to narrate the game, which was broadcast live on CCTV.

China Central Television broadcast the whole Shijie Cup live, and for this Shijie Cup, CCTV took out several channels to broadcast live in parallel. They also attach great importance to this shijie cup. Duan Xuan, on the other hand, came to the live broadcast to explain the game, and he is now in the Mandela Bay Stadium.

This game is very concerned.,It's said that there are more than 230 places in Shijie all over the country for live broadcast.,This formation is very big.。

"Hello everyone, today we are bringing you the first match of Group G of the 2010 South African Shijie Cup, against the Portuguese national team and the Ivory Coast national team. Today, Xu Yang and I will explain the game. CCTV commentator Duan Xuan said.

"Hello everyone! I'm Xu Yang, and I'm glad to be here with you to watch this wonderful game. Xu Yang, a guest commentator on CCTV's sports channel, also greeted the fans in front of the TV.

"This group is a group of death in the absolute sense of the word, and Brazil will definitely occupy a place in the qualifying places. This second place should be produced between the Ivory Coast and the Portuguese national team, and now there are many people in the outside world who are optimistic about the Ivory Coast team, Xu Yang, what do you think? Duan Xuan asked Xu Yang.

"Huh! It's hard to say. To be honest, we all know the problems of the Portuguese national team. But we know the quality of them and I think both teams have chances, and of course the result of the opening game is very important and it could be about who gets out of this group. Xu Yang gave an ambiguous answer.

"We know the problems on the Portuguese side, we also know the problems on the Ivory Coast side, and from the information we got before the game, Drogba is unlikely to be in the starting line-up today." Xu Yang, a guest commentator on CCTV's sports channel, said.

'Well, we got the news before the game that Drogba will definitely not be in the starting line-up for Ivory Coast today, but he is on the bench and I don't know if he will be available today. Duan Xuan, the commentator of CCTV's sports channel, said affirmatively.

"Then if Drogba doesn't play in this game, the strength of Ivory Coast will definitely drop a notch, then this game Ivory Coast team is a little hanging, as the players of the Portuguese national team said before the game, if Drogba does not play, their chances of winning will be very large." Xu Yang, a guest commentator on CCTV's sports channel, said.

"Haode, the director told us that the bus of the Portuguese national team has arrived at the stadium, and we cut the signal to take a look." Duan Xuan, the commentator of CCTV's sports channel, said immediately.

At this time, the bus of the Portuguese national team really came to the stadium, and countless fans of the Portuguese national team surrounded here to welcome the arrival of the Portuguese national team players.

First of all, the first to get off the bus was Cristiano 61 Ronaldo, Cristiano 61 Ronaldo walked off the bus with his shoulder bag, sunglasses, earplugs and songs, he didn't stop here, and walked quickly into the players' tunnel as soon as he got off the bus.

After that, Paul 61 Ferreira and others, Qiu Ze this guy was zuihou one who got off the bus, and the scene immediately resounded with hot cheers, and the fans at the scene cheered excitedly, very excited.

After Qiu Ze got out of the car, he waved to the fans and friends, and then walked into the players' tunnel. When he walked into the locker room, things had already been placed in the locker room, and Qiu Ze walked directly to his place.

Qiu Ze has a white No. 10 jersey hanging from his place, and under this jersey, there are things such as stacked haode pants, and of course, socks and shoes. Before the Portuguese national team arrived, the staff had already made detailed and rigorous preparations.

After coming to the locker room, Qiu Ze began to go to the bag, began to tidy up his state, changed into casual clothes, changed into warm-up sportswear, and they were going out to warm up.

"Oh, we got the news that shortly after the Portuguese national team arrived on the scene, the bus of the Ivory Coast team also came to the scene." With Duan Xuan's words, the picture of the TV received the picture of the bus of the Ivorian team coming to the scene.

The picture of the Ivory Coast coming to the scene is no worse than that of the Portuguese national team, and there are a lot of fans who greet them. They all chanted the names of their favorite stars, sang songs, and cheered on their favorite teams.

Although Drogba did not appear in the starting lineup today, he was the first to get off the bus, and when the fans at the scene saw Drogba come down, the fans immediately broke out into a hot cheer to welcome Drogba.

"Huh! Look at Drogba's appearance, this is more enthusiastic than Cristiano 61 Ronaldo and Qiu Ze just now, it can be seen that Drogba is the number one star here today, hahahaha. Xu Yang, a guest commentator on CCTV's sports channel, quipped.

After all, this is Africa, and of course African fans are more supportive of their side of the ball, and there are a lot of Ivorian fans here.

One by one, the Ivorian players walked into the tunnel and into their dressing rooms. At this time, the Portuguese national team has walked into the field, they have begun to warm up before the game, and the picture of CCTV Sports Channel has also been received.

When the Chinese fans in front of the TV saw this picture, the TV picture showed Cristiano 61 Ronaldo, who was wearing a white training shirt, directly at the front of the big penalty area, and the football flew to the goal like an arrow, but hit the post of the goal fiercely.

"Wow! Judging from this goal, Cristiano 61 Ronaldo is in good shape today, and I think he should be able to break the national team's goal drought in this game. Xu Yang, a guest commentator on CCTV's sports channel, looked at all this and said.

The TV screen quickly cut to Qiu Ze's side, Qiu Ze was very calm when he warmed up before the game, and did not make any amazing moves, just simply passed the ball to his teammates, upside down, very ordinary, nothing to watch.

At this time, the TV screen turned, and the players of the Ivorian team at the players' tunnel also came out to warm up, and the scene immediately sounded enthusiastic, and they welcomed the arrival of the Ivorian team.

The players of the Portuguese national team are ignoring the Ivory Coast guys, they are still warming up, the warm-up is very important, if their body is not warmed up enough, it is likely to cause unnecessary injuries, the players of the Portuguese national team are very serious.

It didn't take long for the assistant coach of the Portuguese national team to come to the stadium and shout for the Portuguese national team to return to the dressing room and prepare for the pre-match because there was not much time left before the start of the game, and they had to prepare.
