"CCTV, CCTV! Audience friends, audience friends, welcome to watch the 2014 20th World Cup Group B of a key battle, this game between the Chinese team and the Chilean team. In front of the TV, Duan Xin raised his voice and said.

Because he was commenting on the spot, his voice was a little different from what he usually did when he was commenting on Bundesliga games. Emotionally apparently more excited.

“...... We invited our old friend Zhang Lu and Mr. Zhang to be the guest commentator of this game......"

Zhang Lu's voice appeared in the picture: "Hello everyone!"

"We can see that the Pantanal Arena, which can accommodate 42,500 people, is full of spectators today, and if you can tell from the color of the jersey, Chilean fans still have to occupy the majority, after all, they have a good location...... But what makes us happy is that there are also a lot of fans in China. They waved the five-star red flag and stood out in the stands...... In addition, it is almost seven o'clock in the evening local time, the temperature is a little lower than during the day, and there is wind, the temperature is pleasant, which is very suitable for outdoor sports......" Duan Xin briefly introduced the situation, and then chatted with Zhang Lu about the game.

"Coach Zhang Lu, how did you see this game? Zhou Yi did not enter the starting list in this game......

"Yes, of course, Zhou Yi's absence has a great impact on the strength of the Chinese team, after all, Zhou Yi has always been the offensive and defensive core of this team. But I don't think that means we can't do anything about Chile. Coach Lippi is a very good manager, and his experience can also compensate for some of the effects of Zhou Yi's absence to some extent. The Chinese team has been practicing defensive counterattacks before, and I believe that this game should also use this set of tactics. It's not that the Chinese team doesn't have no chances, but there will certainly not be too many opportunities, so the efficiency of using opportunities is very important......"

When Duan Xin and Zhang Lu were talking, the players from both sides who started the game had already gathered in the player tunnel.

Others have to go to the bench and take their seats in the dugout.

Zhou Yi, dressed in a sports jacket for the Chinese team and pedaling a pair of sneakers instead of sneakers, walked from behind the aisle, and then he high-fived and greeted his teammates who were about to play, encouraging them.

As he did so, the Chilean players were watching him.

As the most well-known and strongest player in the Chinese team, he has just won the Champions League, and wherever he goes, everyone is the focus of attention.

But now the Chilean players looked at Zhou Yi with relief and happiness - fortunately, Zhou Yi was injured and didn't have to fight him in the game, otherwise it would be a real headache......

Since you don't have to fight, you don't mind selling it well, and you can't be so hostile.

Chile's captain, the team's biggest star Earth, Sanchez, who plays for Barcelona, waited for Zhou Yi to finish high-fiveing his last teammate, and then stopped him: "Hey, Zhou Yi." ”

Zhou Yi turned around and saw Sanchez take the initiative to reach out to the ground, and the two of them also played against each other in the Champions League.

He laughed, then shook Sanchez's hand and hugged him.

"I'm sorry I can't fight you. Sanchez said.

Zhou Yi smiled: "Aren't you glad you can't fight me?"

Both laughed.

Then Zhou Yi said goodbye to him and walked out of the passage.

He'll be watching from the sidelines.

In the Fair Play song, the caddie leads the way with the FIFA flag and the Fair Play flag, followed by the flags of the two participating teams, which lead the players from both sides onto the pitch amid cheers.

"They're coming!" Duan Xin shouted excitedly. "At the forefront is Zheng Zhi, the captain of the Chinese team in this game, followed by goalkeepers Sun Pan, Guo Nu, Feng Xiaoting, He Ying, Yan Min, Gao Lin, Yang Muge, Zhang Linpeng, Yang Hao, Rong Hao...... Lippi fielded a two-man midfielder...... No, in fact, judging from Zheng Zhi's position in Hengyuan Club, he is also a midfielder, so Lippi is a three-back midfielder in this game......"

The TV broadcast cut a close-up shot of Zhou Yi, who was already sitting on the bench, and in the close-up, Zhou Yi sat on the bench with an expressionless face, and absolutely no one could guess his thoughts from his expression......

Cortana did not sit on the bench of the Chinese team in this game, because she was not actually a member of the coaching staff of the Chinese team, and she and other Chinese team members who were not able to enter the coaching box sat in the stands to watch the game.

The TV broadcast did not forget to give her a close-up, and Duan Xin also introduced it to the audience and friends. But in fact, he doesn't need to be introduced. Since Cortana became Zhou Yi's girlfriend, she has exploded in popularity in China, and there are almost no Chinese fans who don't know her......

In the hearts of many Chinese fans, whether Zhou Yi can make a smooth comeback depends on Cortana's ability.

After the players from both sides finished playing, the national anthems of the two countries began to be played.

When the Chinese national anthem was played, Zhou Yi and the others on the bench stood up and sang the national anthem together. Lippi's Italian coaching staff doesn't sing the national anthem, but they do stand still. They must be no strangers to China's national anthem, because Lippi temporarily coached the national team this time, in order to facilitate the management and integration into the team, he brought his entire coaching team in Guangzhou Hengyuan, these people have worked in Guangzhou Hengyuan Club for many years, and they know Chinese players very well.

It also helped Lippi to get to grips with the national team very quickly, and then to get to work. This is also a blessing in misfortune.

After the national anthem is played, the next step is the fixed procedure before each game, the two sides shake hands with each other, and the captain comes out to exchange flags, exchange gifts, and then shake hands and pick sides.

The Chinese team won the right to pick the edge, but went to the tee.

Sometimes tee-off rights can be more important than picking the side.

Especially for the Chilean team, which was going to put pressure on the Chinese team from the first second of the game......

After seeing the result, Chilean coach Sampaoli secretly clenched his fist on the sidelines – and that was the result he wanted.

Once both players had taken their positions, the referee from Côte d'Ivoire, Douai, confirmed the time and blew the whistle.

"The game is on!" Duan Xin shouted.

Chilean striker Alexis Sanchez kicked the football out, Vargas followed and kicked back, and the first game of the Chinese team in this World Cup began.

※※※

After the start of the game, Chile took advantage of their kick-off and launched a fierce attack on the Chinese team's goal.

And when the football is not at their feet, they don't retreat to their own half in one go, as one might think.

It's no secret that the Chinese team will adopt defensive counter-attacking tactics.

But the Chilean team used another way to deal with the counterattack of the Chinese team, that is, it was very crazy to press in front.

As long as the Chinese players get the ball, they will immediately surround them and grab it.

This is bullying Zhou Yi is not on the field, and the Chinese team's passing and possession are not as smooth as before.

So when the Chinese players were a little embarrassed under the pressure of the Chilean players, the TV broadcast also took the time to give Zhou Yi a close-up, which was the first close-up of Zhou Yi after the game started, but it definitely won't be the last.

"The Chilean team grabbed fiercely, and the Chinese team could only cope with their pressing, and they couldn't organize a decent attack at all...... At this time, I think everyone misses Zhou Yi very much......" Duan Xin said.

But no matter how much he misses it, Zhou Yi is indeed not on the court.

It wasn't until the eighth minute that the Chinese team attacked the 30-meter area of Chile for the first time.

At that time, Yan Min crossed from a 45-degree angle on the right side and passed the football to the penalty area. He Ying jumped up in the box for the ball, but Chilean goalkeeper Bravo jumped up before him and plucked the ball with both hands.

The Chinese team did not complete the first shot of the game.

"He Ying-oops! I didn't reach it, the ball was taken away by Bravo!" Duan Xin was very sorry.

"This ball...... In fact, Yan Min was a little too anxious to pass, he should use his speed and technique to bring the football forward, and then compress the opposing player, and then cross, the effect is better than a direct 45-degree angle cross. Zhang Lu commented on the side. "Yan Min, a player, sometimes has such a problem, rough...... It's like that when you play domestically, it's a little bit better to go to Dortmund, but it happens once in a while. However, in Dortmund, Zhou Yi is by his side, able to suppress his impulsiveness and roughness. So that's why Yan Min has been successful at Dortmund this season. ”

"Is the ball quotient low?" Duan Xin asked.

Zhang Lu smiled and did not answer the question positively.

At this time, the Chilean team on the field launched an attack on the Chinese team.

The focus of the two switched to Yan Min's performance just now to the Chilean team's attack.

"Look at this ball...... Chile launched an attack down the right flank, with right-back No.4 Isla passing the ball to Alexis Sanchez, who dropped back to pick him up...... Yang Muge followed, and Sanchez received the ball...... Turn around! He skillfully wiped it over! Yang Muge was left behind by him!"

Duan Xin's voice became eager.

Sanchez was still dribbling forward, Yang Muge was chasing after him, and Zheng Zhi was also pressing, and Guo Nu was intercepting in front of him...... Pass!Sanchez swiped the ball sideways before he got into the encirclement!Valdivia, unmarked, dangerous—"

In the midst of Duan Xin's roar, Valdivia picked up his right foot on the line of the penalty area and shot the ball towards the goal.

The football flew straight to the top corner, although Sun Pan made a save, but he was still powerless for this kick of the world wave, the football flew above his palm, and then hit the underside of the crossbar, and bounced into the goal!

"The ball has scored! Oops! The Chinese team has lost the ball! The game has only started for 11 minutes!"
