This is the 21st edition of the FIFA World Cup and will be played in 12 stadiums in 11 cities of the Russian Federation. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This is the first time that the World Cup has been held in Russia, the first time the World Cup has been held in an Eastern European country, and the second time that the World Cup has been held in Europe since the 2006 World Cup in Germany.

As in previous World Cups, there are no changes to the rules of the World Cup in Russia, and there are still 32 teams participating in the finals, and they will have 64 matches to determine the final winner.

The Chinese team is one of the Asian teams and is the second time in the history of Chinese football that it has entered the World Cup finals.

In the World Cup finals, China is still a young new member.

According to the group stage rules of the World Cup finals, the 32 teams are divided into four brackets, and the Chinese team is the bottom tier 4 team, and the opponents in the group are the Netherlands, Mexico and Brazil.

The strongest team in this group is Brazil.

Brazil is the transition to a star-rich team, their historical record is so brilliant that it can be described as the most desirable, they are the leader in the number of major cup titles, Brazil is known as the most famous and successful national football team in the world, they are the team that has won the most World Cups, Brazil has reached the top four 11 times, reached the final 7 times, won the championship 5 times, and has won the World Cup 5 times in 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994 and 2002.

In the 1958 World Cup final in Sweden, Brazil defeated the host Sweden 5-2 to win the championship, becoming the first American team in history to win the World Cup in Europe. From 1994 to 2002, Brazil reached three consecutive World Cup finals, winning two championships and one runner-up, creating football history.

In 1970, Brazil was voted the best team in the history of the world by FIFA.

In addition to the World Cup, Brazil has won the Confederations Cup 4 times, the most in the world, and the Copa America has won 8 times.

Because the Brazilian national team has won all the accolades related to men's football, and the Brazilian people have a strong passion for football, the samba country has also produced countless superstars, thus being known as the "Kingdom of Football" all over the world.

Of the four teams in Group E, the game has not yet begun, and Brazil's qualification is already a certainty.

The second strongest team in Group E is undoubtedly the Netherlands.

The Netherlands are in the second tier of the team, entering the World Cup finals, but they are definitely one of the top teams in the world, the history of Dutch football, not as strong as the strong Brazilian team, but also a regular in every World Cup, the overall results are quite good.

In the 70s, Michels, a generation of famous Dutch coaches, brought the "all-attack-all-defense" tactics of England coach Reynolds to the Dutch national team and launched an attack on the World Cup.

The Netherlands have won the 1988 European Championship in their history and have impressed with a number of thrilling big victories in the 2000 and 2008 European Championships.

In the World Cup, the Dutch team has reached the final three times, but they were defeated and relegated to the runner-up. In 1974 and 1978, they lost to West Germany and Argentina in the final, and in 2010, they conceded a goal in extra-time and lost 1-0 in the final against Spain.

In the 2014 World Cup, the Dutch team led by coach Louis van Gaal drew 0-0 with Argentina in the semi-finals, and was eliminated 2:4 in the penalty shootout, unfortunately did not enter the final; In the third and fourth place finals, the Dutch team defeated Brazil 3-0 and won the third place.

Looking at the historical results, it can be seen that the Dutch team has been quite good in recent years, and they have been strong contenders for the title every time.

In this World Cup, the second hope in Group E is naturally the Dutch team.

In fact, in the eyes of the vast majority of the media, the situation in Group E is too clear to be studied at all, because Brazil and the Netherlands are too strong, and no matter which team plays well and which team plays poorly, it is only the difference between the first and second places, and the other two teams, Mexico and China, are completely hopeless.

Even the two teams that are considered 'completely hopeless' are far better than China, which have won the CONCACAF Gold Cup seven times in their history, the highest number of any team, and they are the soccer supremacy in the region.

This World Cup is the 16th World Cup that Mexico has participated in, even if the best result in the past is the quarterfinals of two local World Cups, but the number of times and experience in entering the World Cup alone is not comparable to the Chinese team.

Of the four teams in Group E, the Chinese team is undoubtedly the weakest.

In the history of the World Cup, the Chinese team has only participated in the South Korea-Japan World Cup once, and has not scored a goal in three games, ranking second to last in the top 32 of the World Cup.

With such a football history, it is naturally difficult to be optimistic.

Some foreign media commented on the Chinese team, saying, "This is a team supported by striker Wang Qiuming, somewhat similar to Ukraine with Sheva a few years ago." ”

In the eyes of the outside world, there will be almost no suspense in Group E, but for the Chinese team, no suspense is equivalent to entering the 'group of death', and even the domestic media are not optimistic that the Chinese team can qualify from the group.

"The Chinese team's entry into the World Cup is to increase some experience in the competition!"

"If the Chinese team can achieve a breakthrough of zero goals in the World Cup, it will already be very successful!"

"Maybe the Chinese team has a hope of winning one game, that is, against Mexico, as long as they can win this one, even if the group can't appear, it is enough to return with glory!"

“…………”

In short, the Chinese team's hope of qualifying from the group is very slim.

In this case, it is understandable that after the arrival of the Chinese team in Moscow, there were not many foreign media to bother.

In fact, there are not many foreign media who pay attention to the Chinese team, and some foreign reporters want to enter the Chinese team to interview, they are not interested in other players in the Chinese team, but only hope to interview a limited number of people - Wang Qiuming and Wang Xiaolei, are the two most attention-grabbed, all over the world, both of them are well-known big stars, and the most high-profile is Wan Sheng as the head coach.

This is the first time in five years that Wansheng has led the team to participate in the competition.

Wansheng's past coaching is still vivid, many people remember Wansheng's name, and the miracles he created are remembered by many fans, especially England fans, their only European Cup trophy is brought by Wansheng, and there will be more English reporters, hoping to interview Wansheng.

Wansheng did not pay attention to foreign media.

Unlike the opening up of the domestic media, the foreign media only pursue public opinion news, and they are not optimistic about the Chinese team, and they are not interested in the preparation of the Chinese team, and Wansheng does not need them to do propaganda at all.

So after arriving in Moscow, the Chinese team only did low-key training.

With the arrival of one team after another, the Chinese team was quickly forgotten, except for the domestic media is still constantly reporting, it is difficult to see the words of the Chinese team in the news of other countries.

Time flies, and two days have passed in the blink of an eye.

The opening ceremony of the World Cup took place at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, the largest stadium in Russia with a total of 84,745 seats, which was part of the Luzhniki Olympic Sports Center, which was once known as the Lenin Stadium.

The weather in Moscow was good that day, and the opening ceremony went well.

The Chinese team participated in the opening ceremony, and then watched the opening match between Russia and Ghana, and played the World Cup on home soil, the Russian team was in high spirits, and fought with Ghana to make the first goal in the 33rd minute.

After that, Ghana's performance became eye-catching, and they continued to use their strong bodies to compete with the Russians, and in the 21st minute of the second half, Ghana used the excellent play of their strikers to make it 1-1.

The final match ended 1-1.

After the opening game, Wan Sheng led the team away, and on the way he asked all the players, "What do you think is the gap between us and Russia and Ghana?" ”

The players were silent.

They thought about it for a long time, some said technical strength, some said overall performance, and some said game experience and the like, Wan Sheng shook his head silently and said, "What I let you see is not experience, not technology, but the spirit of daring to fight when they participate in the competition!" ”

"Did you watch the second half? Ghana fought fiercely, they kept colliding with Russian players, the purpose was to play their own advantage, African players were unusually strong, much stronger than whites, this was their advantage, they played to their advantage, so that Russia was passive for a while, and then they scored. ”

"It was the right choice! There is a saying, 'One skill is strong, the other is weak', and we should also do the same, play to the overall strengths, and play the things in training, and then we will perform better and have more hope of winning......"

With the end of the opening match of the World Cup, the atmosphere of the big war has also become stronger.

The match of the Chinese team was on the third day against the Netherlands, and the two sides played at the Kazan Central Stadium.

The press conference before the match was lively.

Journalists from all over the world have been waiting for a long time, thanks to Wan Sheng's fame, who was once the world's top football coach, and even after five years of putting down the whip, he still has considerable influence, much more famous than Dutch coach Danny Brand.
