Just when the Chinese team arrived at the Baisada Arena, the starting lineup of the Chinese team finally appeared on the official website of the World Cup, and anyone can check the starting list of the Chinese team.

Zhou Yi's name is impressively listed!

"Zhou Yi is the first to start!"

"He's back!"

"The core is in place!"

"Zhou Yi is sure to start the game against Spain!"

"Great news! Zhou Yi can participate in the match against Spain!"

"After missing two group games, Zhou Yi finally caught up with the last game!"

"It's better to come early than to be coincidental, and it's better to be late than never. Zhou Yi is here!"

"Sorry, I've kept you waiting!

"When the motherland needed him the most, he finally made a comeback!"

"Damn, I'm going to cry! Zhou Yi finally caught up! Panpan and the other players' efforts were finally not in vain! They tried their best to keep the hope of qualifying for the team, and now they have finally waited for the most important person!"

......

For a time, on the Chinese Internet, Zhou Yi became the most mentioned name.

Everyone is enthusiastically discussing the significance of Zhou Yi's start to this game.

The question "How to evaluate Zhou Yi's start in the game against Spain?" on a large knowledge-sharing community in China has just been issued, and there are more than 200 answers.

At present, the answer that has received the most likes is: "How else can you evaluate it? Of course, don't be cowardly! Just do it! God blocks and kills God, and Buddha blocks and kills Buddha! Even if it is the defending champion, as long as it stands in our way, it will also kill you! The World Cup of the Chinese team has only really started now!"

When the Chinese Internet was so excited about Zhou Yi's debut that many people were in tears, Zhou Yi was tying his sneakers in the locker room. He didn't know what was going on in the outside world.

This is a pair of custom-made sneakers created by his sponsor PUMA specifically for his trip to the World Cup, and each pair of shoes is printed with the two belligerents and the time of the match, as well as the location of the match.

The left and right feet of each pair of shoes are of a different color, and the colors and designs are based on the colors and patterns of the flags of the two teams.

So it's fair to say that every pair of sneakers is unique.

But unfortunately, he didn't have a chance to wear the shoes in the first two games.

Today, he wore the customized sneakers for the match between China and Spain, and his left foot was mainly red with gold as an embellishment, representing China's five-star red flag, and there was an artistic five-star pattern on it. The right foot is dressed in red, white and yellow, which is the color of the Spanish flag and coat of arms.

Puma's design of a pair of sneakers with a different color is not new, they have done it before.

But on Zhou Yi's feet, they used this style to the fullest, and the fancy sneakers will be very eye-catching on the court, which is completely different from Adidas and Nike, but the design of the other shoes is the same with a different color.

Compared with Adidas and Nike, Puma does not have a high market share, but it is still a group of die-hard fans, which has a lot to do with their outstanding design style.

Zhou Yi tied the shoelaces carefully, and then turned the tongue over to cover the knotted part of the shoelaces.

With all that done, he got up and walked out of the locker room and followed his teammates to the pitch to warm up.

In the stands of Baishada Arena, although there is still an hour before the start of the game, there have been many fans of both sides in the stands of the stadium, and the fans are entering one after another.

Zhou Yi, who was warming up, was almost the object of everyone's lens focus.

Whether it's a Chinese fan or a Spanish fan, whether it's a Chinese journalist or a Chinese journalist.

Everyone wanted to see how Zhou Yi was doing.

A few days ago, although the media were saying that Zhou Yi and the team had a good effect of joint training, no one really saw it with their own eyes, and their so-called joint training effect was all from the players and coaches of the Chinese team. Just like the Spanish media said, it cannot be ruled out that the Chinese team may collectively win people.

Zhou Yi and Yang Muge were warming up with each other's passes, and they passed the football back and forth, but they were all non-stop one-kick passes.

In the process of passing, the distance between the two people is also constantly changing, from far to near, and from near to far, no matter how they run, they must pass the football directly without stopping the ball under their feet, and ensure the accuracy of the pass.

It can be seen from this warm-up that Zhou Yi's passing is very stable, it is a very ordinary push, and there are no difficult movements, and he has no skills to show off, using the most ordinary actions, but the football is accurately passed to the destination.

Especially when two people are very close, both people pass the ball at a fast rate but with high accuracy.

From this action, it can be seen that Zhou Yi's foot feeling has at least recovered.

Next, Zhou Yi also tried a few shots, but the shooting rate was not high, and he tried four shots outside the penalty area, only one of which broke through Sun Pan's ten fingers, and one of the other three feet was directly held by Sun Pan, and the other two were missed.

However, Zhou Yi didn't care about the accuracy of the shot, he and his teammates had a warm-up of talking and laughing, and he seemed to be very relaxed.

Before such an important battle of life and death, being able to see a smile on Zhou Yi's face shows that Zhou Yi is very calm and has a good attitude.

This is a good thing for Chinese fans.

CCTV's on-site reporters also mentioned this to cheer up the fans in front of the TV.

The players from both sides finished their warm-up and returned to their locker rooms one after another.

Now there is only half an hour left before the start of the race.

When they come out again, the game will officially begin.

Lippi looked around and looked at the players sitting in the dressing room, they had everything ready.

He looked up at his watch.

"In thirteen minutes, we're going to face a life-and-death battle. It's not a World Cup final, but I want you to play it as if it were a final, and I think you're all very clear about why. We had a lot of surprises and setbacks before the World Cup, and a lot of people were not optimistic about us at the time, thinking we were going to go home after the group stage. But now we still have hope of qualifying from the group. I want to thank all of you for making this last game meaningful. I'm sure Zhou Yi will agree with what I said, right?"

Lippi winked at Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi hurriedly stood up and bowed to everyone, and said, "Yes, I really want to thank you." I never gave up on the idea of going to the World Cup from the beginning, I always believed in everyone, and once again it turned out that I was right again, ha!

There was a burst of laughter in the locker room.

Lippi waited for everyone to laugh for a while, then raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and he continued: "I think the final result will prove that our efforts in the first two games will not be in vain, and it will prove that the perseverance and dedication of all of us are worth it. Spain are the defending champions, but that only means they were strong before, it doesn't mean they are strong now. Everyone has seen how their first two games went. I have confidence in you, you are younger and more energetic than them, use your vigor to impact their aging central axis, and victory will definitely belong to us!"

"Remember, you're strong, far stronger than everyone else thinks!"

Also in the dressing room, Bosque was cheering the team on: "...... We had a losing World Cup and as the defending champions we had to face the embarrassing result of having gone home after playing two group games. But the World Cup isn't over yet, and we have one last game left. This game was our only chance to atone for our previous poor performance. I don't think I need to say that you yourself want to end this World Cup with a win, right?"

Bosque looked at his players and continued: "After we were eliminated early, there were many voices from the outside world, many people thought that Spanish football was finished, and the Spanish national team was in vain, and it was no longer the team that won the World Cup four years ago, and there were many voices of contempt. Today is an opportunity to prove to those around the world who despise us that the glory of Spanish football is not something that anyone can trample on!"

When the two players met in the tunnel, they would quickly look away from each other after occasionally looking at each other, but despite this, there were still sparks and smoke in the air.

One side is for honor, and the other side is for survival.

This heavyweight battle is on the verge of breaking out!
