Chapter 1080: Grab the start

During the pre-match handshake ceremony between the two sides of the game, many reporters on the scene focused on the Spanish captain Casillas and the Chinese team's captain Ailo, because some of Casillas' remarks before the game were really exciting!

However, some reporters in the press gallery were disappointed, and Casillas and Iroh only made a brief touch, not even making eye contact.

In the end, they could only focus on the final link before the start of the match - the captains of both sides guessed the ball in front of the referees.

However, the result was also disappointing for those interested reporters, Casillas won the right to pick the edge, and Elo's Chinese team naturally got the right to kick off, and the next handshake was just a light handshake, and then the team flag was exchanged.

Nothing happened.

Of course, only a handful of reporters focused on the camera, and most of them found their place and quickly pressed the shutter button of their camera to capture the wonderful moments leading up to the 2013 Confederations Cup final.

The Chinese team got the right to kick off, which is what Iroh wants, and it is also what the Chinese team wants, because the right to pick the side is useless in the game that kicks off at 7 o'clock in the evening, anyway, the headlights of the football stadium are fully turned on, and it will not affect the performance of the players at all.

In addition, the fans who came to the Maracanã Stadium were dominated by Chinese fans, and the Chinese players on the field did not have to worry about their safety when they needed to cheer and shout.

On the contrary, it is very likely that there will be cheers from the stands, guiding the Chinese fans on the field to keep moving forward and break through the Spanish goal, and Iroh wants to steal the start!

At the end of the ceremony, the players from both sides returned to their respective halves.

Interestingly, both players put their left hands around the shoulders of their teammates in front of them, while their free right hands were put together, looked at each other, and said in unison, "We must win!" ”

But because the sound that erupted over the pitch was so loud, the players' outbursts seemed a little insignificant, except for themselves...... Hardly anyone else can hear it.

Half a minute later, Iroh and Gao Lin stood in the center circle, and the other players stood in their positions, with Iroh with his arms on his hips and the soles of his feet stepping on the football, looking at the referee who was looking at the wrist time.

Spain's starters were also in similar positions, with Fernando Torres standing in the middle of the centre circle arc and Andres Iniesta and David Silva stepping left and right on the centre circle arc close to the halfway line.

The only thing the two sides have in common is waiting for the referee's whistle.

The Maracanã Stadium grew quieter as the referee's eyes looked at his wrist and the whistle was in his mouth.

They were all waiting for the referee to blow the whistle so that they could burst out at the start of the game and cheer for the Confederations Cup final!

"-Beep!!"

Just as the sound was at its lowest, the referee on duty, Dutchman Kuppels, blew the whistle.

"--Whoop!!"

Suddenly, there were huge cheers at the scene, whether it was Chinese fans, Spanish fans, neutral Brazilian fans, or political bigwigs in the VIP seat, they all subconsciously erupted into huge cheers.

※※※

"CCTV, CCTV, welcome to the live broadcast of the final of the 2013 Brazilian Confederations Cup, the match between the Asian champion China and the world champion, the European champion Spain, the Chinese team wearing the red jersey and red pants, they attack from the left side of the camera to the right, and the black jersey and black pants are Spain, they attack from the right side of the camera to the left......"

At the same time, He Wei, the commentator of the on-site commentary seat, shouted.

“…… The formation of the Chinese team is currently quite popular in international football, the starting goalkeeper is Wang Xiaolei who plays for the Champions League champion Valencia, the left back is Jiang Zhipeng, the right back is Zhang Linpeng, the double central defender is Feng Xiaoting and Shi Ke, the double back is Wu Xi and Huang Bowen, the three forward defenders who break forward and rely on the left are the captain Ailuo, Zhang Xizhe in the center, Hao Junmin on the right, and Gao Lin in the single arrow. ”

"In addition, Spain also lined up in a four-two-three-one, with Casillas as the goalkeeper, four defenders Jordi Alba, Pique, Ramos and Cesar Azpilicueta lined up, Sergio Busquets and Xavi Martinez at the back, and three attacking forwards ...... Andres Iniesta, Xavi and David Silva."

He Wei's mouth speed was very fast, and just as he was about to report Spain's starting striker Torres, Huang Bowen, who received Wu Xi's pass, did not pass the ball to the feet of Zhang Linpeng, the right fullback who pulled the side, but unexpectedly made a long pass.

The football flew to the right side of Spain's defense, that is, the left side of the Chinese team's attack.

As the camera cuts, Iello and Cesar Azpilicueta are seen in the shot, and Javi Martinez, who is close to the middle of the right side of the defence, is speeding up, and if anyone can pay attention to his facial expressions, it is easy to see some concern between his eyebrows.

Likewise, Cesar Azpilicueta is worried, even scared.

He is very clear about Iro's ability, so he has no bottom in his heart when he competes with Aelo for the landing point of the header.

The speed of the football was very fast, and Azpilicueta saw that Iroh was standing in a good position to top the ball, so he had to make a small move behind him and pull on Iro's jersey, but Iro's preparation was very sufficient, and at the moment Azpilicueta got started, he leaned back, making Azpilicueta's small movements pause for half a second.

Taking advantage of this small half second, Ailo jumped high and put the ball in front of Gao Lin, who stopped and retreated sharply.

Neither Pique nor Ramos expected Gao Lin to suddenly stop suddenly, so they failed to brake the car in time, and watched Gao Lin re-electrify the ball with his chest in front of Zhang Xizhe, who was plugged in.

Sergio Busquets is a little far away from Zhang Xizhe's position, and Xavi Martinez, who is closer, is naturally obligated to step forward to defend.

However, the result caused Spain's defense to be a little flustered, Zhang Xizhe did not control the ball himself, but used the arch of his foot to make the ball in front of Ailo, who accelerated to the left rib of the attack, and he was very afraid of Azpilicueta behind him.

"-Danger!!"

With an exclamation from Spanish national television, a huge cheer erupted in the Chinese fan area at the scene, which instantly resounded throughout the audience.

However, the cheers did not last long, and were soon replaced by boos.

Of course, it was not the Chinese fans who suddenly turned against Goelo, but ...... The aggressive defending David Silva kicked down Iroh from behind, and they subconsciously booed the referee to remind the referee that it was a bad foul!

Iroh thought it was a foul by Cesar Azpilicueta, but when he looked up at the fouler, he was speechless because ...... The foul was committed by his good friend David Silva!
