When the Portuguese navigator Dias first discovered Cape Town in 1486, human history changed and there was a new route from Europe to Asia. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The feeling of being in the Cape Town stadium today, with the famous Table Mountain nearby and the Cape of Good Hope in the distance, whatever it means in Western language, at least in the eyes of the Chinese, the Cape of Good Hope is a symbol of good luck.

The match was held in the afternoon local time, Cape Town is located in the southernmost part of South Africa, has a Mediterranean climate, and it is winter when the temperature is around 12 degrees.

But Li Guo, who was in the stadium, was wearing a down jacket, because the wind was very strong, and it felt quite cold in the empty stadium.

"It's a much colder place than Johannesburg," Mr. Li said.

Chen An, who was shivering on the side, responded: "This place is close to the sea and is relatively humid, so it is cold. ”

Li Guo nodded, "Let the players warm up fully to avoid muscle strain." ”

The players of the Chinese team were the first to play, starting with jogging, slowly warming up their bodies, although the weather forecast was 12 degrees, but the temperature was significantly lower than 12 degrees, maybe only about 6 degrees, Chen Green and others wore gloves.

The biggest disadvantage of arranging the World Cup in South Africa is that it is winter, and the center of world football is in Europe, so usually, most of the players are now in the summer, and this out-of-season situation makes the players very uncomfortable.

When the players were warming up, Li Guo scribbled in his notebook, and the starting list had been submitted to the official, and Li Guo did it now that there was no point in doing so, it was just a repetitive mechanical action because of nervousness.

There is a big change in the starting lineup of the Chinese team in this game, that is, Sun Jihai retreated to the position of left wingback, and Qu Bo started to play left wingback.

Goalkeeper - Wang Dalei

Back line - Mu Fei, Zhou Dun, Yin Di, Sun Jihai

Back waist - Fang Suo, Li Weifeng

Avant-garde - Shen Rui, Zheng Zhi, Qu Bo

Single striker - Chen Green

Li Guo arranged this way because this game is a game that he can't afford to lose, so the first thing to do is not to lose the goal, only if he does not lose the goal can he continue to stay in the World Cup, so at the most critical time, Li Guo still chooses to believe in the veteran Sun Jihai.

Ivory Coast's starting XI was exactly the same as it was in the first game.

Goalkeeper - Barry

Defenders - Demer, Kolo Toure, Zokola, Tijene

Midfielders - Eboue, Yaya Toure, Tiot

Forwards - Gervinho, Drogba, Kalou

This list is exactly the same as the one that Li Guo, Chen An, and Robin deduced tactically, and it seems that in the face of the Chinese team, Eriksen is still very confident and has no surprises.

Just as Li Guo was scribbling and drawing in his notebook, there was a commotion at the scene, which was not the sound of vuvuzula, but applause.

When I looked up, it turned out to be Andy Lau Drogba, who was known as Africa, appeared.

This should be the biggest star among the active African players, so the African fans did not hesitate to applaud Drogba.

Drogba is also very big-name style, applauding and waving at the fans, in the Premier League, Drogba destroyed the self-confidence of many defenders, the most typical is Sendros, the Swiss was seen by Drogba once and again, and finally left a psychological shadow.

Therefore, any central defender will be frightened when he sees Drogba, the physical fitness of the monster is against the sky, coupled with the training of Ligue 1, Drogba is indeed the best center forward in football today.

When Drogba was worshipped, Zhou Dun and Yin Di looked at it coldly, and it was foreseeable that the confrontation between the three of them would be very fierce later, and the Chinese team understood that whether they could score points in Ivory Coast today mainly depends on whether they can prevent Drogba.

If Ivory Coast's attacking superstar is Didier Drogba, then the heart of their midfield is the Toure brothers, with Yaya Toure at Barcelona organising the attack and Chlo Toure at the back at Manchester City.

The two brothers jogged and laughed, obviously facing the Chinese team, which was inferior to their body and ball skills, and the Toure brothers were still quite confident about winning.

At this moment, there was a flash of golden light, and Li Guo turned his head to see that it was Erikson who came, his gold-rimmed glasses reflecting the sun's brilliance.

Perhaps because of the unpleasantness at yesterday's press conference, Eriksen ignored Li Guo's presence when he came to the pitch, walked directly to his own bench, then pulled his down jacket, and finally picked up the tactical board next to him, turning it thoughtfully.

Li Guo is very unhappy with this, even if enemies meet in world football, there will be basic politeness, such as Vieira, Keane.

Jose Mourinho, Pep Guardiola.

No matter how fierce the fight on the court is, how good the mouth is, but at least a handshake in front of the camera before the game is still a must, but today Eriksen walked past him like this, and said nothing.

If it weren't for the flying cat over the court patting, Li Guo really wanted to raise his middle finger at the Swede and greet the other party.

Chen An knows Li Guo the best, he doesn't need words, he knows what Li Guo is thinking, he pushed Li Guo, "Forget it, people look down on us, we still look down on him!" ”

Li Guo took a sip, "In the future, when you go to the Super League, I will see what kind of expression you have." ”

Chen An smiled, thinking that this Li Guo was too good at yy, and he never dreamed that one day, Eriksen, who prides himself on being a world famous coach, would really go to work in the Chinese Super League.

*****

After half an hour of warm-up, the players returned to the dressing room, and after making final preparations, players from both sides lined up in the tunnel and behind the referee, ready to enter.

In this game, the Chinese team wore a white jersey, the Ivory Coast wore an orange jersey, the captain of the Chinese team Li Weifeng stood at the front, and the Ivory Coast side was their captain Kolo Toure stood at the front.

Kolo Toure glanced at Li Weifeng, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, players in Europe know the most basic courtesy, and Li Weifeng also smiled at the other party.

The stadium is already boiling, like boiling water, because it is an African team, today this is half of the home of Ivory Coast, and the neutral South Africans are all supporting Ivory Coast, so at this time it is very noisy outside the players' tunnel, and nothing can be heard clearly, it is the noise before the tournament.

Finally the referee walked forward, and the players knew that the time had come to enter the field, and almost all the players of the Chinese team couldn't help but glance at Drogba, the Chelsea monster, the super striker who made all Premier League defenders fearful, was about to compete on the field later.
