Chapter 1233: The World Cup in Africa

Every place where the tarmac could be seen was occupied, and every pair of eyes were staring intently at the sky. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Finally, with the cheers of thousands of fans, a Boeing 707 plane landed at Johannesburg International Airport through the clouds.

This is the private jet of a wealthy man in China, in order to support the Chinese team's World Cup journey, he deliberately used his own plane to send the Chinese team to South Africa to participate in the World Cup.

The Chinese team is unknown, and these fans of all colors are here for the superstar Chen Yu, who has just won the Champions League and La Liga double.

The window opened, and Chen Yu poked his head out and waved to the crowd, his posture relaxed and full of starry.

The cheers of the fans instantly rose to the top, wave after wave.

On the gangway, Chen Yu's two bodyguards quickly stood up, carrying AK47s, headphones, and black sunglasses.

The hatch opened, and Chen Yu's familiar face appeared in front of the fans, and there were two black-clad bodyguards standing behind him.

Chen Yu smiled and beckoned to the fans, and this casual action caused the fans to scream again.

Subsequently, Chen Yu stepped off the plane under the protection of four bodyguards in front and behind, and behind him, the players and coaches of the Chinese team also rushed out.

South Africa's security is really a lot of problems, although South Africa for the smooth holding of the World Cup, hired French security experts, and recruited more than 50,000 security guards, but the Chinese team still did not dare to be careless, after all, Chen Yu's influence is too great, it is easy to become the target of the bandits, so they did not stay at the airport, after getting off the plane, immediately took a bus to the booked hotel.

In order to adapt to the climate and field conditions in South Africa, the Chinese team came to South Africa ten days ahead of schedule.

The first of China's three group stage games is against Germany in Durban on June 13, the second is against Ghana in Rustenburg six days later, and the last game is against Serbia in Nelspruit on June 24.

The Chinese team will train at the University of Johannesburg stadium and play three warm-up matches against Algeria, Denmark and France in 10 days before starting the official World Cup matches.

Since there was no communication with the fans at the airport, after returning to the hotel, Chen Yu attended the press conference with the head coach Forado, at the press conference, Chen Yu expressed his gratitude to the fans who picked up the airport, hoping that the fans could support the Chinese team during the World Cup, and Chen Yu said that South Africa is very beautiful and fascinating, but he did not come to this mysterious continent for tourism, he will try his best to win every game.

After attending the press conference, Chen Yu returned to the room to take a shower, and was about to take a nap, when the phone rang, Chen Yu saw that it was Lin Xiaolin calling, and asked him if he had arrived at the hotel.

Chen Yu said, "Just finished taking a bath, where are you now?" ”

Lin Xiaolin said: "I have already arrived in Johannesburg. ”

Chen Yu immediately said: "You come to see me, or I'll go to you." ”

Lin Xiaolin said: "It's inconvenient for me to go to you, the impact is not good, you are preparing for the World Cup." ”

Chen Yu said: "I'll go to you that night, now I'll sleep for a while and adjust the jet lag." ”

Lin Xiaolin told Chen Yu her address and asked Chen Yu to look for her at night.

After dinner, Chen Yu found Guo Zuojin to ask for leave, although the Chinese team requires players not to go out casually at night, but players like Chen Yu will definitely be treated specially, Guo Zuojin readily agreed, just asked Chen Yu to bring the bodyguard to avoid accidents.

Although it was very difficult to bring bodyguards, this was Africa, Chen Yu didn't dare to joke with his life, he still took four bodyguards to the hotel to find Lin Xiaolin.

When the lovers met, they were also very red-eyed, and almost in front of the bodyguards, the two kissed together.

After comforting the pain of lovesickness, Lin Xiaolin and Chen Yu walked into the bedroom together.

Lin Xiaolin asked Chen Yu when she would return to the club after the World Cup, and if she had time, she wanted to accompany Chen Yu to play on the African continent for a while.

Chen Yu said that there were still nearly three weeks to go, and Lin Xiaolin said with a smile: "I booked it for 10 days, and you can arrange the rest of the time yourself." ”

Chen Yu smiled: "Okay, it's no problem to accompany you for a few more days." ”

Lin Xiaolin looked at Chen Yu and said, "I'm not afraid that other women will be jealous." ”

Chen Yu smiled bitterly: "Now I am alone. ”

Lin Xiaolin said: "This is insincere, the big star in the United States told reporters yesterday that he would come to cheer for you." ”

Chen Yu smiled bitterly: "The two of us haven't seen each other for almost half a year, and this boyfriend is not worthy of his name." ”

Lin Xiaolin said: "Then why didn't you break up with her?" ”

Chen Yu suddenly realized that Lin Xiaolin had eaten this vinegar, and he smiled bitterly: "I think this initiative should be handed over to a woman." ”

Lin Xiaolin said stupidly: "You pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, but it doesn't matter if you don't divide it, the hope of the two of us being together is not as big as you and Knightley." ”

Chen Yu pulled Lin Xiaolin's shoulder, and Chen Yu asked, "Why?" ”

Lin Xiaolin said: "No, the family doesn't agree, we enjoy the rights brought by the family, of course, we have to fulfill our obligations, it's as simple as that, don't talk about this, you are now facing the biggest challenge in your career, I am here to cheer you on, make you happy, not to increase your troubles." ”

Chen Yu laughed evilly and said, "The way to make me happy is very simple, there is one now." ”

Lin Xiaolin slapped Chen Yu with a shylen smile and said, "Pervert." ”

"It's your compliment to yourself, every man who sees you becomes a pervert."

Chen Yu picked up Lin Xiaolin horizontally and walked to the side of the bed.

……

As the days go by, the World Cup round of 32 teams continue to arrive in South Africa, and the continent becomes more and more lively.

The day before the opening of the World Cup, the Chinese team ended all the warm-up matches.

The warm-up match of the Chinese team was very bad, losing all three games, especially the weak team that the Chinese team thought was the weak, the hypothetical enemy Algeria, and the Chinese team lost the last one to two, which made the coaching staff led by Forado very dissatisfied, thinking that such a state would definitely not be able to complete the task assigned by the General Bureau in the World Cup.

The game with Denmark lost the worst, Denmark's fast and tough style of play is a bit similar to the German team, the Chinese team is most afraid of such an opponent, physical, speed, and technical skills are not as good as others, and they can't play at all, if it weren't for Chen Yu scoring a goal, the Chinese team will definitely be swept 4:0 in this game.

The warm-up match with the French team was good, and a 0:2 loss was acceptable, after all, it was the world champion, not to mention that the Chinese team still had a lot of wonderful performances on the field.

Obviously, the warm-up results of the Chinese team are very anxious for domestic fans and reporters, and this time in the South Africa World Cup, the Chinese team sent a strong lineup of reporters, with as many as 100 people, which is also the most in the World Cup.

The game didn't start, there was nothing to write about, so talking about the warm-up game and criticizing the coach and players is the daily homework of journalists, and it is also the best way to attract the attention of fans.

Chen Yu is the biggest star, his status is transcendent, and he is a god-like existence in China, he must not be criticized, so the spearhead of the media is aimed at head coach Forado.

Not only are the media and fans spitting and questioning endlessly, but the bosses and coaches of the Chinese Super League have also questioned Forado's role in the Chinese team.

Although Forado can't completely call the shots in the national team, he also has his own things, and the Chinese Football Association believes that the way of combining China and foreign countries is very good, so it resolutely withstood external pressure and let Forado continue to stay.

On the evening of June 11, the South Africa World Cup kicked off at the Soccer City Stadium in Johannesburg.

Johannesburg's 94,700-seat Soccer City Stadium is packed. President Jacob Zuma of South Africa, former Presidents Mbeki and De Klerk, and Mexican President Aldron attended today's opening ceremony.

The opening ceremony was preceded by an air show, with five planes forming a "V-shape" and passing over the Soccer City stadium. At about 20:10, the opening ceremony kicked off. The opening ceremony featured an African-inspired theatrical performance, with poets calling out on the pitch and 270 women pouring into the pitch, dancing rhythmically to form nine radiating ribbons.

At the scene, the big screen began to introduce the other nine stadiums of the World Cup, and the nine radiating strips formed by the women at the scene pointed to the other nine stadiums and the final venue of the 06 World Cup - Berlin. And then a giant beetle appeared, which was very African-style.

Tim West? After Morey sang "Hope", Mandela's avatar appeared on the big screen, saying that "human tolerance can eliminate any adversity". Then the TKZEE Orchestra performed a rock music performance, and people of all colors performed passionate dances around the jar in the center of the stadium.

Next, the famous Algerian singer Osibesa sang "Didi", and six elaborately decorated baobab tree models surrounded the center of the stadium, symbolizing the six African teams participating in the competition. Six baobabs were erected to form a large tree.

After Filipino fan Cudi sang "BangBangBang", Robert Kelly, who has been nominated for 19 Grammy Awards, sang the theme song of this World Cup "Call to Victory". He was joined by a Soweto spirited singer.

As the theme song sounded, the flags of all 32 participating teams appeared in the stadium, and 370 people formed a long strip to continuously change the English names of the 32 participating teams in the form of holding signs, and finally formed the flag of the World Cup in South Africa.
