The day before the quarter-finals between China and Germany, the two sides went to the Maracanã Stadium for training to familiarize themselves with the playing venue, while the head coaches of the two sides took the captains of their respective teams to the press conference at the Maracanã Stadium for media interviews.

Originally, this kind of opportunity to show their faces is an occasion that the coaches of both sides do not like, but sometimes there is no way, and the World Cup needs to go to the next level and must have more exposure, so it has to rely on the packaging of the media, coupled with the strong requirements of sponsors, so as long as it is a team participating in the World Cup, it is a must to participate.

This kind of occasion is already commonplace for Iroh, so it was no surprise, and the experienced and experienced man calmly looked at the full crowd of reporters after sitting down with the head coach, waiting for questions.

The pre-match routine press conference was crowded with nearly 1,000 reporters in a venue that could only accommodate 800 reporters, of which the largest number of people were undoubtedly Chinese media and German media.

They all want to get a sense of inner fullness before the game and thus have a good mood before tomorrow's game.

Or rather, they want to get some psychological cues.

The regular press conference for the first quarter-finals of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil was officially announced by the organizer's press officer, and the first to be asked questions was a well-known journalist from the German journalist magazine "Kicker".

His question is very simple, but it also contains pitfalls, and the target of the question is the captain of the Chinese team, Ailuo: "Since the beginning of this year, the Chinese team you led has achieved undefeated results, and even won seven consecutive victories from the warm-up matches to the 1/8 finals before the start of the World Cup, do you think the Chinese team will enter the next round under your leadership?" ”

The implication is to ask Iroh...... Is it his credit that the Chinese team can have such results......

How high is Iroh's emotional intelligence?

At once, he heard another layer of meaning expressed by the reporter of "Kicker", so he said with a smile: "The game is a sport of eleven people, how can I win the game alone?" So being able to get consecutive wins is inextricably linked to the overall strength of the team, and all I can say is that my teammates are fantastic! ”

Iroh was meticulous in his answer, and immediately afterward, he was thunderously applauded by the Chinese reporters on the scene.

Iroh's thoughtfulness made foreign media reporters not get a trace of valuable information, so the next opportunities were left to Chinese domestic media reporters, after all, the object of the interview was the Chinese team, if there were no opportunities for the Chinese media, it would not be possible to explain to the sponsors, you must know that the huge domestic market in China is the existence of sponsors salivating.

In addition to Iello being the focus of the media, head coach Pep Guardiola will naturally not forget, on the contrary, he will focus on it!

Who made him so lucky? Being able to coach a team with a player of Arrowlo's calibre.

Of course, Pep Guardiola also replied meticulously, so that no flaws could be found, and he also took the initiative to praise the German team, believing that they were quite strong and that the victory of the game could not have been predicted before the game.

Half an hour later, the head coach of the German team, Loew, and the captain of the team, Lahm, appeared at the regular press conference, and they also encountered difficulties from media reporters, but Loew and Lahm are both on the battlefield for a long time, and they are very familiar with the style and practices of media reporters.

At the end of the pre-match press conference between the two sides, the media reporters went to the Maracanã Stadium to observe the mental state of both sides up close.

Coincidentally, the Chinese and German players showed very good form and spirit, which made the media very happy, because it means that tomorrow's game will be very exciting.

Who wouldn't want to see a great game?

The media focus on the World Cup matches is on both sides of the game, and those who like to focus on the sidelines of the game have not stopped, and they have set their sights on the so-called 'wife group'.

The German team has always had the title of male model team, so the wives or girlfriends of German players are the kind of people who have to have a figure and a figure, and the Chinese team's 'wife group' is also not to be outdone.

Especially Iroh's official girlfriend Taylor Swift and her son's biological mother Li Shiyin, are completely the best among women.

However, it is impossible for these off-field news to replace the game itself, so most fans look at it with an entertaining mentality, and the World Cup quarter-finals are different, they will feel different thrills depending on the different teams they support.

Perhaps, this is the greatest charm of the game of football.

On the day of the game, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil's largest city, was filled with football colors in every corner as before, but today, the football atmosphere was particularly strong, in addition to the Brazilian fans wearing yellow jerseys, there were more German fans wearing white jerseys and Chinese fans wearing red jerseys.

With six hours to go, fans are already looking forward to the start of the game.

However, both sides of the competition have just completed a certain amount of training for this supplemental nutrition, which is also known as ...... Have breakfast!

At the same time, the main entrance of the hotel was not full of fans, and of course, there were also many media reporters squatting in front of the door, waiting for the opportunity to interview the stars they wanted to reach.

"-Whoa!!"

When the game was only two hours away, all the members of the Chinese team and the German team walked from the hotel lobby to the bus provided by the Brazilian World Cup Organizing Committee.

Of course, the broadcaster has a live broadcast of this scene, but it is not like this in front of the TV audience, but a backstage production that divides a complete screen into two sides, with the Chinese team boarding the team bus on the left and the German team boarding the bus on the right.

The hysterical cheers and flashing lights reflect the level of attention that has attracted attention in the quarter-finals of this World Cup.

However, compared to the enthusiasm of the team staying in the hotel, the fans of both sides who had been waiting at the Maracanã Stadium for a long time seemed more excited, and some good fans even had a bad look at each other.

With the arrival of the Chinese team and the German team at the Maracanã Stadium, the quarterfinals of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil are about to kick off......
