Chapter 521: "Defeat Spain!" ”
As time went on, more and more fans entered the Castel Stadium.
The fans sang and danced as if they were attending a big festival.
For them, it's a quadrennial festival that they have been waiting for for four years.
Even waited for many years.
Colombian fans, for example, reached the knockout round for the first time at the 1990 World Cup, and it took many years for their team to reach the knockout stage again, this time going one step further and reaching the quarter-finals in history.
They have waited all their lives for this day.
Maybe their team will leave Brazil after today's game, so today is the Last Supper.
They want to turn Castel Stadium into a sea of joy.
Colombian fans have a good mentality, their team has made new history without any baggage.
It's a different story with Spanish fans, who are desperate for their team to beat their opponents today and progress to the semi-finals.
Because they once stood on top of the world and enjoyed the envy of the world.
The mentality of the fans on both sides is completely different.
So Spanish fans are more focused on Li Chuanqi's state, while Colombian fans don't care about this at all, can Li Chuanqi play? Did you have any good performances after you played? Can you score goals?
They don't care about any of that, they just focus on the game, or they just enjoy standing in the stands and cheering for their team.
On the warm-up field, Li Chuanqi was in average condition, and he didn't even participate in shooting practice.
This has this worried Spanish fans.
The group of reporters on the sidelines discussed:
"Bosque says Lee can play a high-intensity game for 45 minutes, I don't believe it!"
"What if he can play? Can he continue to score? ”
"It's hard to say, didn't he score in the last game?"
"It was an oversight on the part of Brazil, did he have a shot on goal other than that goal?"
"Well, I agree with that, if he comes on the pitch, Brazil will defend him so hard that he doesn't even have a chance to shoot, let alone score!"
"There wasn't as much running as the goalkeeper throughout the game, so you expect him to score?"
Many reporters are not optimistic about Li Chuanqi.
The Spanish reporters were very determined and did not argue with them.
Or, in their opinion, there is no need to get involved in these arguments at all, which is a very "naïve" approach.
They believe in what Li Chuanqi said - the game is played, not spoken.
After the warm-up, the players return to the dressing room to make final preparations for the upcoming showdown.
……
Columbia locker room.
Coach Pekerman exclaimed: "The media don't think we have a big deal with us, we don't think we can compare to Spain, and I think that's fine.
But they underestimated our victory, our determination to keep going, and our attitude of wanting to make new history again! ”
To tell the truth, I've been chasing more with reading books recently, switching sources, and reading aloud with more timbre,.. Both Android and Apple are available. 】
These words instantly ignited the passion in the locker room, and the players roared:
"Colombia will win!"
"Defeat Spain!"
"Let Spain cry!"
Pekerman nodded and said, "Good!" That's what I need! ”
Then he began to announce the starting lineup and tactical deployment.
……
The Spanish dressing room does not have the passion of Colombia, whether it is Bosque or the players, they are very determined.
Having won the tournament three times in a row, the Spanish team is accustomed to seeing the scenery from the top of the mountain, and has been able to do it without shock.
Bosque began: "I said in the morning during the preparation meeting that I should take this game seriously, and I will stress that again!
We can't underestimate any opponent, and our ambitions need to be supported by victory!
When you defeat your opponent, I won't stop you if you have to say anything!
But what we have to do now is take the game seriously and once we get in the ring, we have to focus and put all our energy into the game. ”
Ramos nodded and said, "Coach, don't worry, we've been through a lot of important games and know what to do!" ”
Costa grinned: "Colombia is nothing, coach you settle down and we will win." ”
What else can Bosque say, it should be emphasized, that players like Costa still don't take the game seriously.
Forget it, it's also a good thing to have confidence at this time, and there must be a degree of suppression, too much will affect morale and confidence.
Bosque began to announce the starting line-up and set up tactics.
Li Chuanqi is still not in the starting lineup, which almost everyone thinks.
The first half was a war of attrition, and it was not so easy to knock on the Colombian goal, but the second half was the decisive moment.
Instead of putting Li Chuanqi in the first half, it is better to put it in the second half.
Xavi breathed a sigh of relief that Barcelona was no longer the only one in the starting line-up, indicating that his communication with Bosque was effective.
As for him still not in the starting line-up, although he is not very happy, but it is understandable.
After all, he is now old, and maybe after this World Cup, he will leave the Spanish team.
The players listened carefully to Bosque's tactical arrangements.
……
At 4:40, the starters of both sides appeared in the tunnel of the players.
The Colombian players couldn't help but look at Spain and found that Li Chuanqi was not in the team, and they instinctively breathed a sigh of relief.
Pedro was chatting with the caddy, who looked at him and asked, "Why didn't you see Lee?" When my friend heard that I was going to be a caddie for this game, he asked me to have a few more autographs of Lee. ”
The corners of Pedro's mouth twitched, and he said softly: "He has an injury on his foot, so he can only play as a substitute." As for the signature ......"
The caddy looked at him expectantly.
Pedro shrugged and said, "I can't help it. ”
The caddie was disappointed.
Pedro whispered a few words in his ear, and the caddie nodded and smiled.
At 45 minutes, the starters of both sides, under the leadership of the referee, led the caddie out of the players' tunnel and into the court.
They were greeted by a tsunami of cheers.
The major TV stations immediately entered the working state.
The commentator of Spanish national television exclaimed: "Audience friends! Fans and friends!
We're now at Castel Stadium for you to do the live commentary!
The match between Spain and Colombia is about to begin, and the starters of both sides have entered the pitch!
We now introduce you to the starting lineup!
