Chapter 465: Heading to Brazil, the World Cup journey begins
After the end of the Champions League, Li Chuanqi finally understood what it meant to "gain fame and fortune".
Li Chuanqi became the first football star with an annual income of over 100 million, which caused widespread discussion among fans and media around the world.
It has been a full week since Li Chuanqi finished this, and then reported to the Spanish team.
Bosque is empathetic, and after Li Chuanqi and others returned to the team, they did not arrange a lot of exercise, giving them plenty of time to recuperate.
Even in the several warm-up games during the period, Bosque did not let Li Chuanqi play the whole game.
Due to Atletico Madrid's Champions League victory, Atletico Madrid has as many as six players selected for the squad this time, only one less than Barcelona, while Real Madrid has only four players selected.
This is the first time in Atletico's history that they have surpassed Real Madrid in terms of numbers.
On 2 June, Spain went to the United States for training and was warmly received by the President of the United States at the White House.
Encourage Li Chuanqi to perform at a high level in the World Cup in Brazil and give more wonderful goals to fans around the world.
Spain are in Group B, along with the Netherlands, Chile and Australia.
Spain and the Netherlands are the favourites to qualify from this group, after all, they were the champions and runners-up of the last World Cup.
After four years, the two teams were placed in the same group, and Dutch fans and media were very excited about it, shouting for "revenge".
After a week of training in the United States, the Spanish team traveled to Brazil to officially kick off the World Cup campaign.
On June 10, the Spanish delegation appeared at El Salvador International Airport and was warmly received by fans and media.
El Salvador is a coastal city in the northeastern part of the Federative Republic of Brazil, the capital of the state of Bayinya, and the third largest city in Brazil.
Speaking to more than 300 journalists from all over the world, Spain coach Bosque said of the group stage of the World Cup: "The four teams in Group B are all strong teams, and our goal is to move forward steadily and gradually find the feeling of the game. ”
Bosque kept silent about whether he could qualify from the group, perhaps in his opinion, there was no problem in qualifying from the group.
He was reluctant to talk, but the media reporters didn't let him go, with a Dutch journalist asking: "What do you think of the reigning champions' curse?" ”
The 1998 World Cup champion France team did not even qualify for the group in the 02 South Korea-Japan World Cup; '02 World Cup champions Brazil fell in the quarterfinals; Italy, the World Cup champion in '06, did not qualify from the group in the '10 World Cup.
This is known as the "Defending Champions Curse".
"We're not France, we're not Italy."
Bosque said calmly: "We're definitely going to get to the knockout rounds, that's for sure. ”
The reigning champion's curse became a staple of media interviews with Spain.
Xavi said: "The defending champions were unable to get out of the group and the main problem was the ageing of the players, the injuries to the main players, Spain did not have such problems. So the so-called spell has nothing to do with Spain. ”
"It's a good thing to remind us to get into the groove as soon as possible!" Iniesta said. ”
Pique laughed: "For us, there is no problem in qualifying from the group, our goal is to fight for the title! ”
Costa shrugged and said: "You can't take France and Italy as an example, we're more like Brazil in '94 and '98. Brazil won in '94 and reached the final in '98, and we're a lot like Brazil back then.
Ronaldo didn't play when Brazil won the championship in '94, and in '98 as the core of the team, Ronaldo shone and led Brazil all the way to the final.
Lee did not play in the last World Cup, and he played in this World Cup as the heart of the attack, which is very similar to the Brazilian team back then.
So, for us, there is no such thing as a curse. ”
Li Chuanqi said: "Spell? I never thought about that.
Even if there is a spell, just break it!
It's like a record, the purpose of the spell is to break it.
This is my first World Cup campaign and I hope to have a perfect summer and leave no regrets for myself.
I believe in my team-mates, they are the best players in the world. ”
When talking about the goal of this World Cup, Li Chuanqi said: "Winning the championship is definitely the first goal, and then it is to win a top scorer. ”
He nodded and said, "Well, that's it. ”
For this World Cup, Li Chuanqi has "ambitions".
If you want to become a star in history, you must have a very important championship in your hands.
The top-flight title, the Champions League, he has done it this season, it can be regarded as a very successful one.
But this is the result of the professional league.
In the national team, he didn't have any results.
When he won the Ballon d'Or at the beginning of this year, many fans and media slammed him, believing that he had not won a weighty title.
Although he didn't care much about those words, he was still deeply impressed.
It's a World Cup year, and of course he wants to win the World Cup and make a name for himself.
Shut those people with the World Cup.
The Spanish team is of course strong, but many people do not see the potential crisis of the Spanish team, and Xavi, the core of the last World Cup, is already old.
The years are unforgiving, four years ago Xavi and others were in high spirits, and four years later, they are no longer in their prime, entering the end of their careers.
In this case, the so-called "curse of the defending champions" actually exists.
But Li Chuanqi is a man with "ambition", he will not allow this to happen, and he wants to lead Spain to break the "curse of the defending champions".
Speaking about the first match of the group, Li Chuanqi said: "It is normal for the Netherlands to want revenge, and we have to understand the feelings of the Dutch fans, who reached the World Cup final twice and failed in the end.
But understanding is understanding, and we will not let them succeed.
The Netherlands are a very strong team with a lot of quality and famous players in the team, and they are an opponent to respect. ”
That night, Li Chuanqi wrote on his social platform: "Forget the past, a new journey has begun!" I'm coming, Brazil! ”
Fans have left him messages of encouragement:
"Yes, a new journey has begun, Li, come on, look forward to you bringing us more surprises!"
"What do you mean by 'more surprises', for Lee, that's how it should be!"
"Brother downstairs, you are inflated, we have to keep a low profile, we must be low-key!"
"I'm here too, Brazil, well, I'm on my way to Brazil......"
"Lee, for you, this is just another arena, defeat all your opponents, get on the top podium, and look down on the world!"
"It's true, I think the World Cup is like that, it's just that the opponent is happy, and the opponent is a little stronger, but Spain is very strong, really strong! Come on, Lee, this is your World Cup journey to the throne! ”
"Don't worry, brothers, no problem, Spain can win the championship without Li in the last World Cup, what is the problem in this World Cup?" Please keep in mind: Lily, URL mobile version PC version, Lily free fastest update no anti-theft no anti-theft.
