Chapter [304]: The mysterious division quietly rises
"Brazil draws 3-3 with China, and a mysterious division is rising!" The Sun in England used such a headline to report on China's first performance in the Confederations Cup.
In their report, they wrote:
"Yesterday, the Brazilian Confederations Cup officially opened in Brasilia, and after the grand opening ceremony, the opening match of the Brazilian Confederations Cup officially began, the host Brazil team faced the mysterious division China team from Asia at the National Stadium in Brasilia, and finally the Brazilian team relied on two own goals of the opponent to draw the Chinese team at home.
Before the game, everyone would feel that this game was nothing to look at, and the Chinese team was actually just the Tahiti team in Group A, and it was regarded as a fish belly. In front of the powerful Brazilian team, although the Chinese team has a superstar like Dongfang Chen, they are still not worth mentioning.
Many people thought that the Brazilian team would win this game easily, but at the beginning of the game, there was an accident, the mysterious division from Asia showed super ability and super tactical execution ability, and the strength they showed surprised everyone and made the Brazilians suffer.
China took the lead over Brazil with Dongfang Chen's goal, although Brazil later equalized thanks to Neymar's excellent performance. However, after that, the Chinese team showed super strength, scoring two goals in succession, pushing the Brazilian team to the edge of the cliff.
In the game, Dongfang Chen's performance was as good as ever, which is no longer news. The other players of the Chinese team also showed considerable strength, especially their goalkeeper Zhen Chen.
The Chinese goalkeeper blocked high in the game and blocked all the shots of the Brazilian team, which is simply a goalkeeper in the world and invincible.
The Brazilian fans at the scene were all crazy by this goalkeeper!
However, the super-magical goalkeeper was defeated in the end, but not by the Brazilian, but by his teammates.
At the last moment of the game, the Brazilian team was lucky to draw with the Chinese team with two own goals from the opponent, so that it was not embarrassed in front of the national people.
The Chinese team showed great strength in this game, and if it wasn't for the bad luck in the last moments, the Chinese team would have defeated the five-star Brazil!
What an amazing fact is this?
Who would have thought that the Chinese team, which had not been favored by anyone before, would have such a strong strength?
Now we can no longer look at the Chinese team with old eyes, because a mysterious division from Asia has quietly risen, maybe in the near future, this mysterious division from Asia will change the pattern of world football?
In the future, we should pay more attention to this mysterious team from Asia, and let's explore how this team has risen."
Although the report of the "Sun" is largely exaggerated, the performance of the Chinese team did surprise many people, and the Chinese team was able to force the Brazilian team to be like this, which still shows that the Chinese team has a certain strength, and the strength is still very good.
Everyone was surprised, this Chinese team is really too mysterious, and when no one is paying attention, they have quietly risen, which surprises many people.
Of course, at this time, more people are speculating about the strength of the Chinese team. How much is so much in this match between them and Brazil?
In this way, more people have begun to pay attention to the Chinese team, and more European scouts have set their eyes on the Chinese team, and they also want to see how many players with strength or potential are in this quietly rising team?
The performance of the Chinese team has indeed attracted a lot of attention, especially the two teams in Group A, Italy and Mexico. The Chinese team was able to draw 3-3 with the Brazilian team, and looking at the process, it was still the people who forced the Chinese team to draw, which surprised Italy and Mexico, is the strength of the Chinese team really so strong?
The players and coaches of the Italian team watched the match between the Chinese team and the Brazilian team, and after watching this game, the Italian head coach Prandelli was very surprised, he did not expect that the Chinese team that he had forgotten before would have such a strong strength.
Pradley began to pay attention to the Chinese team, which is definitely not an easy opponent to deal with.
In an interview with reporters, Prandley said: "Wow! The Chinese team really exceeded my expectations, they are very strong. It's definitely not like what their manager said in his post-match press conference, the Chinese team has quality and we have to take it seriously. β
Prandley also said: "The strength of several players in the Chinese team is very good, not to mention Dongfang Chen, he is the world footballer, and we all know his strength. Among them, Zhang Ningpeng's strength is also very strong, and he has secured the main position in the Arsenal team. β
Prandelli also said: "Secondly, there is the goalkeeper of the Chinese team, he is too strong. The game against Brazil says it all, it's definitely very bad news for us, and we should think about how to get the back of the net. β
It can be seen that Prandelli really attaches great importance to the Chinese team, and even he is faintly worried, the goalkeeper of the Chinese team is so good, so who can break his goal?
In the following training, Prandelli stepped up the shooting practice of his players.
Mexico's head coach Trapathore also said: "This is a game that all of us expected, I really didn't expect the Chinese team to be so strong before this." Obviously, it's bad news, every opponent in this group is very tough, it's definitely a group of death, we're going to give it our all, we're going to give it our all against every opponent. β
Trapatore also said: "There is no doubt about the strength of Dongfang Chen in the Chinese team, with him, no one dares to underestimate him. The Chinese team, when facing Dongfang Chen, the defenders of any team did not dare to pat their chests and say that they could prevent Dongfang Chen from dying. β
Trapatore added: "Of course, there are several very good players in the Chinese team, including their excellent goalkeeper, I don't think this goalkeeper has any problems playing in the top five European leagues, and he may even become the goalkeeper of the big teams, this is a difficult guy to deal with, we will definitely give it our all." β
After learning what Pladley and Trapatore thought, Gao Hongbo smiled wryly, his words in the post-match press conference in the stands did not play a role, and sometimes, it doesn't work to show weakness.
The next game must be very difficult, Gao Hongbo had to step up the training for the Chinese team, he didn't want to go back directly if the group didn't qualify.
The next night, two teams from the same group as the Chinese team will be played at the MaracanΓ£ Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, and the coach of the Chinese team, Gao Hongbo, will lead his coaching staff to watch the game, and they will study the characteristics and strength of the two opponents.
Dongfang Chen and Zhang Ningpeng also sat in the side, watching the game through the TV broadcast screen.
The strength of the Italian and Mexican teams is very good, and the Chinese team will play against these two teams in the later games, and they are very careful and serious.
The Italian national team and Moses have been very strong, and both teams have played very well in this game. And the veteran of the Italian national team, Andrea Pirlo, ushered in his 100th national team game, which is a proud record.
In the fifteenth minute of the first half, Andrea Pirlo scored a brilliant direct free-kick in his first international game, giving him the best gift of his 100th international game.
However, the Mexican team did not give up after conceding the goal, they showed super strength, and for a long time, the Mexican team was playing against the Italian team, which made everyone exclaim the strength of the Mexicans.
Before the end of the first half, Mexico's number one star Hernandez scored from the penalty area to help his team equalize.
However, after the start of the second half, Italian striker Balotelli opened the door of the Mexican team with a world wave, and finally the Italian national team defeated the Mexican team 2-1 and won the score.
After watching this game, Gao Hongbo's expression was very solemn, the strength of these two opponents is very strong, and it is really difficult for the Chinese team to defeat them and win?
However, Gao Hongbo didn't want to be eliminated at the end of the group stage, he was very nervous and felt huge pressure.
Group A was followed by a 2-1 win over Uruguay, while Tahiti unsurprisingly lost 6-1 to Nigeria.
However, Tahiti was not without their share of the game, not only did they receive their first goal in the Confederations Cup, but also their first own goal in the Confederations Cup, and amazingly, both goals were scored by one person, and Tahiti's central defender Jonathan Te'o suddenly became a celebrity in Tahiti.
During this time, the Chinese team has been more involved in their own training, their opponents are very strong, and they have to maintain their form in order to have a chance to beat their opponents.
Italy and Mexico both showed considerable strength, and Gao Hongbo felt very intense pressure.
The first round of matches is over, and the second round of the group stage is about to begin. In the second round, the Chinese team faced the powerful European Cup runners-up Italy.
The Italian team is not a cat or a dog, their strength is super strong, for which the players of the Chinese team have felt a very huge pressure, and they are working harder and more active in training.
During this time, a lot of media reporters emerged in the training ground of the Chinese national team, and those foreign reporters came back, they were all observing the situation of the Chinese team and reporting the news of the Chinese team.
Of course, at this time, they are not optimistic about the Chinese team. In their opinion, in the match between the Chinese team and Italy, it will definitely be the Italian team that wins, and the Chinese team will not be as lucky as the first game.
The other match in Group A will be played before the match between China and Italy, which is the match between Brazil and Mexico.
Mexico are now bottom of the group and the match against Brazil is very important for them, and if they don't win this game, their chances of qualifying are slim.
So, for this game, they are very serious. At the same time, they are also very confident that the Chinese team can play like this, will their Mexican team be worse than the Chinese team?
