Although the national football team is full of fighting spirit, the group of the Confederations Cup is very unfavorable for the Chinese team, they are placed in Group A, which can be called the "Group of Death", and must eliminate the host Brazil team or the traditional European powerhouse Italy to advance to the knockout stage. Another team in the same group, Mexico, is actually very strong, but because the national football team has won a big victory in the World Cup, it has a strong psychological advantage, and the Chinese team's style of play does restrain the Mexican team, so everyone doesn't take them very seriously.

On the afternoon of June 15, local time, the Chinese team ushered in the first and most difficult opponent of the group stage in Brasilia, the capital of Brazil. However, it is not a bad thing to meet Brazil in the opening game, because neither side was fully in the game in the opening game, and the chances of an upset were greater than normal.

But to the surprise of the Chinese team, the Brazilian team quickly entered the state after the start of the game, and the fierce offensive made the Chinese team's back line suddenly precarious. It turns out that as Gao Jun's image of "world No. 1" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in recent years, stars from all over the world want to beat him to make a name for themselves, and those fledgling stars want to step on the world's No. 1 person to make a name for themselves, and even Neymar, the young leader of the Brazilian team who has become famous, is not exempt.

The Real Madrid team with Gao Jun is almost invincible, so the relatively much weaker Chinese national team has become a better target, plus Gao Jun's Real Madrid team and Neymar's Barcelona are rivals in the league, so Neymar fully mobilized the team before the game, and the Chinese team was caught off guard at the beginning of the game. To make matters worse, Brazil scored soon after. Taking advantage of a free-kick opportunity, the dim-sized Neymar unexpectedly headed home a crucial first goal for Brazil!

Fortunately, before the game, considering that the Brazilian team's strikers are not tall, and Bai Jiajun is now recognized as the No. 1 central defender in Asia, it is natural that he was placed in the starting list by head coach Stano. So now it is much more convenient, with Bai Jiajun to protect him, the internationals in the midfield can rest assured that they can press the attack, and Stano has not made adjustments to the personnel on the field.

However, Brazil's coach Scolari had apparently studied Bai Jiajun's characteristics before the game, and when the Brazilian team broke the ball, they did not choose to pass the ball behind them, but used the small cooperation between the three forwards in the front court and their individual ability to break through the Chinese team's defense, and Gao Jun's old teammate No. 19 Hulk when he played for the Dresden Dynamo team became the most crucial part of this tactic.

"Conceded two goals in less than a quarter of an hour? It's been a terrible start", Gao Jun looked at Neymar as he was receiving a celebration from his teammates. With a deep sigh, he saw very clearly that although this goal was scored by Neymar, all seven successes had to be attributed to Hulk, the "Hulk"

After coming to Barcelona and securing the position of the main central defender, Bai Jiajun's confidence has been greatly enhanced, and his physical strength and confrontation experience have also made great progress, but no matter how strong he is, a small player with a height of less than 1.70 meters is unlikely to compete head-on with Monster Hulk, who is more than 10 centimeters tall and has almost reached the upper limit. So it's not surprising that you're being eaten hard by them when you're one-on-one.

Bai Jiajun's central defender partner Zhao Ming is now fully physique-grown as he gets older. Compared with when he participated in the World Cup in South Africa, he has been strengthened to a certain extent, and his strength and confrontation are at least not inferior to Du Wei at his peak, and it is precisely because of his physical growth and accumulation of experience that he has become the undisputed second central defender in China. Although the current Zhao Ming's physique is not as good as the monster Hulk, it is enough to ensure that he will not be eaten easily, but the problem is that. His speed and cadence can't keep up with Hulk at all, so it's easy to avoid Hulk when he's running, and Zhao Ming can only rush over to flank Bai Jiajun after Hulk catches the ball, but in doing so, Neymar is completely free. In fact, that's how the goal went in

The national football coach on the sidelines, Stano, sighed, but also a little lucky, fortunately, there are not many monsters in the world like Hulk who can reach the world's top speed and strength, and their height/bounce and technique are not bad, and four of them are in China, and there are not many opportunities in the game, otherwise Bai Jiajun will become a chicken rib

However, even if it is encountered, it is not difficult to solve, because the Chinese team has Yu Hai, who has both speed, strength and height and is very good at defense, and Stano only needs to retreat him to the central defender position to partner with Bai Jiajun, so he no longer has to worry about Scolari's cheap moves. However, in this way, the left defense of the Chinese team will inevitably be weakened a little, and the combination of Zhang Chenglin and Rong Hao is not as reassuring as the golden partner formed by Yu Hai and Rong Hao in attack, and the loss is not small.

What's more, now that the Brazilian team is already a two-goal lead, and Scolari has always been a very utilitarian football coach, at this time, it will definitely make the Brazilian team shrink the defense line and play the counterattack of the Chinese team, which will be difficult

As Stano had expected, Scolari saw him retreat and immediately instructed Brazil on the sidelines to pull back the formation. But what makes Stano helpless is that under the current situation that the Chinese team is already two goals behind, even if he knows that the other party has laid a trap, he has to drill!

Fortunately, the effect of the national football team putting two fast horse central defenders in the central defender position is also very significant, and the Brazilian team played five quick counterattacks before the end of the first half, but they were successfully resolved by the Chinese team's backline. But on the other hand, the Brazilian team is a world powerhouse after all, and they have the advantage of the home field, when they are cheeky and stubbornly defending, even if the Chinese team has the world's No. 1 forward line, it is difficult to knock the opponent's hard turtle shell

In the end, the Chinese team could only regrettably end the first half with a score of 0:2, but the current national football team was able to press the Brazilian team on the field, even if the opponent took the initiative, it also encouraged the domestic fans. I don't know when it began, this Chinese team has the ability to play against the world's strongest teams, although they are generally backward to do this, and there are more defeats and fewer wins, but it is enough to show that the strength of the current Chinese team is not what it used to be, even if it cannot be said to be a world-class team, it can at least occupy a relatively high position in the world's second-rate teams. This is not long ago shouting "Out of Asia, out of the world." For Chinese fans, it's really like a dream

After the Chinese team finally scored in the second half, both in the stands and in front of the TV Chinese fans were more jubilant, but unfortunately the good times did not last long, and the young leader of Brazil, Neymar, who was in hot form in this game, quickly used a direct free kick opportunity to complete a hat trick, once again broke through the goal of the Chinese team, and expanded the score on the field to 3:1. To add insult to injury, Xie Wenjun was then injured and substituted, while Brazil seized the opportunity to score another goal to completely establish the victory of the game. Although Gao Jun took advantage of the laxity of the Brazilian team's back line to score a goal near the end of the game, it was just a consolation goal that could save a little face

After this game, Neymar, who was considered the number one new star in world football because of his recent transfer to Barcelona for an astonishing price, was warmly welcomed by the media of various countries for leading the Brazilian team to defeat the Chinese team led by Gao Jun and scoring a hat trick in the game. Such an exaggerated news headline.

However, at this time, the Chinese team did not have the heart to bother with the media at all, because after learning that the Italian team defeated the Mexican team in their first game the next day, everyone immediately realized that losing the first game had completely forced the national football team to the edge of the cliff. The second game against Italy will have to be won to ensure that the hope of qualification is in their own hands, and even if it is only a draw, it will be up to Brazil to play in style in the final game of the group stage, and with the quality of the Italian team, even if Brazil play their best style, they may not be able to win it. If the Chinese team loses to Italy, it will be directly out of the tournament in advance

Of course, there is good news, Xie Wenjun was injured in the first game and was examined after being examined, and it was found that it was just a false alarm, and the injury was not serious, and it only took a week at most to be able to play again. However, the Chinese team will definitely not be able to catch up with this crucial battle against the Italian team, which makes Xie Wenjun very regretful. Fortunately, the king of martial arts is now much more mature than in the World Cup in South Africa, and although pushing him to the front line will lead to a big change in the style of the Chinese team's frontcourt, this new trident also has no other country's forward configuration that can be compared. And because the second game must be won, Stano decided to once again discharge the 433 formation with super attacking power, and Yu Hai, who was once placed in the central defender position in the first game, was somewhat unexpectedly placed in the forward position

"Stano's idea should be to use Yu Hai's wide range of interceptions to find opportunities to break the ball and counterattack, right? Also, with the Italian team's tradition of being good at defense, it will be difficult to break through their defense in positional battles, and it is easier to catch counterattacks. Gao Jun quickly understood Stano's intentions and clarified his task, "But in this case, we must score first, if the Italian team scores first, this configuration is very bad, we must score first!"
