Chapter 260 Who wants to be an audience?
Brazil in June is hot, with an average temperature of 35 degrees Celsius, but this sweltering heat cannot stop the enthusiastic fans.
Fans from all over the world began to pour into Brazil. According to statistics, as of June 4, a total of 2.14 million fans have poured into Brazil, and the trend is increasing.
If you can see it in Brazil, fans from various countries are carrying out bombing activities on the streets.
They held the national flag high and sang the national anthem of honor and swaggered across the city.
There are also Chinese fans among them. The Chinese fans who arrived early have become a beautiful landscape during the World Cup.
Every time a Chinese fan appears, it is a flaming white.
The lion dance in front clears the way, and the drums and gongs in the back, in cooperation with the huge crowd and full of momentum, has already become one of the concerns of every World Cup since 2002.
And this scene is also staged in major cities in Brazil.
Of course, the city with the most Chinese fans is Cuiaba, the capital of the Brazilian state of Bato Grosso!
This will be the place where the Chinese team will play their first game!
On June 12th, Brazil time, at 19:00, the Chinese team VS Chile team will be played at the Pantanal Arena.
Compared with previous years, the Chinese fans of this World Cup are more enthusiastic.
The reason is simple.
In the past, Chinese fans could only count on one Wang Yi.
But the current Chinese team, not only Wang Yi, but also Le Kai, Chen Man, Liu Kairu, etc.
The appearance of these young players has attracted the attention and expectation of many Chinese fans.
"What a passion!"
In a cafe in Brazil, Zheng Xin and Pan Xiaowen are sitting together, they are both expatriate reporters from PP Sports, mainly for the World Cup.
They came a little earlier to do some material collection work.
The Chinese team will not arrive until June 4th!
Pan Xiaowen was wearing an old shirt and holding a straw hat in his hand, fanning constantly, looking at the Chinese fan group swaggering by the lion dance, he couldn't help laughing and said; enthusiasm!"
Zheng Xin nodded and said, "I really played well in the warm-up match, with two wins and one draw."
In the past three warm-up matches, the Chinese team defeated Japan and Russia 2:1 and 3:2 respectively, and drew with Italy 0:0.
After the three warm-up games, the Chinese fans seemed extremely restless.
Even Zheng Xin did not expect that the Chinese team could play so well, and the state of the whole team was so good.
Especially after three warm-up matches, the morale is also high.
As if everything was going for the better.
They also watched the match between China and Italy.
The final conclusion is that a large part of the reason why Italy was drawn was because the Chinese team's defense was very good.
In that game, the Chinese team really did the hard work of the three armies.
Almost no one in the audience was slacking off, and everyone was running frantically.
Even if Italy is good at defense, even if there is a delaying organization point like Pirlo, it is still difficult to break the defense of the Chinese team.
In the frontcourt, the Chinese team is scrambling!
In the backcourt, the Chinese team's pressing pressure is even greater.
Under the destruction and persistence, the Chinese team persisted for 90 minutes, leaving Italy without a point.
If the first two warm-up games were tests of the offensive ability of the Chinese team, this game is a test of their defensive ability.
And the Chinese team also withstood the Italian attack.
As far as Zheng Xin is concerned, this game is a key point of his excitement.
"Group B!" Pan Xiaowen sighed suddenly; "It would be great if it wasn't for Group B, it would be fine to swap with Japan and South Korea!"
The Japanese team and the South Korean team are very good in the grouping. There is no European giants like Spain and the Netherlands in the group.
From the point of view of the grouping, the Chinese team is a little sad.
Even if the Chinese team performed well in the warm-up match, for most people, the Chinese team did not have the ability to face Spain and the Netherlands.
"What if these two teams suddenly collapsed?" Zheng Xin said.
Pan Xiaowen grinned; "How is it possible, this is Spain and the Netherlands!"
Zheng Xin nodded and said immediately; "But Spain was the last champion!"
"what?"
Pan Xiaowen didn't turn the corner, just listened to Zheng Xin grinning: "Spain was the champion of the last World Cup! You forgot! The curse of the World Cup!"
Forehead.
Pan Xiaowen was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said, "Fuck?! No way? No way? No way? This is too metaphysical!"
Zheng Xin shrugged: "We can only believe in metaphysics!"
Pan Xiaowen couldn't help but start to think seriously; "If this is the case, and Spain is thrown away, then our opponent is only Chile?"
He basically defaulted the Netherlands to the knockout stage.
There is no way.
After all, the Netherlands, which has players such as Van Persie, Robben, Sneijder, and De Jong, doesn’t need to think about it at all.
Just listen to Zheng Xin with a wry smile; "Just take it as a joke, try to score a few more goals, win Chile, and don't be eliminated from the bottom of the group. Let's watch the next session!"
"This"
Pan Xiaowen looked at Zheng Xin with a dissatisfied face, whetted people's appetite, and then suddenly did this!
what does it mean!
Zheng Xin is also extremely contradictory. He hopes that the Chinese team will appear in the knockout round, but he does not dare to expect too much.
After all, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment!
Zheng Xin sighed, and he looked to the sky. At this time, the Chinese team should also set off, right?
In the Russian airport, Chinese players such as Lucky are about to get ready to board the plane.
After completing the warm-up match, they will leave for Brazil to prepare for the World Cup.
The players stood chatting in twos and threes, and Lekai had the most people around.
Le Kai sat on the suitcase, and others surrounded him. I have to say that the suitcase was quite strong. Even with his 85kg weight, he didn't even have any symptoms of collapse.
The crowd surrounded Lucky, chatting constantly.
Lekai interjected from time to time, obviously the largest group with Wang Yi-Lekai as the core has been formed in the national team.
Of course, this kind of group does not crowd out anything, it can only be said to be differentiated according to ability.
You can only join it if you reach a certain level, or have enough status.
Otherwise, if you join in for nothing, you won’t know what to talk about.
Le Kai, while waiting for the security check, pulled the ball left and right with his feet to train his sense of the ball.
Teammates have become accustomed to Lucky's inseparable appearance with the ball.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from behind.
"Hey! Kai!"
Lucky slammed the ball with his foot and turned his head to look at the ball.
He saw a man with a peaked cap waving at him, Le Kai looked carefully, finally recognized the person, got up and walked over with a big laugh.
"Andre! I miss you so much!"
Lucky stepped forward and hugged Arshavin with a big laugh.
Arshavin laughed; "If it's true, I'll be very moved."
Lucky said seriously; "I never lie!"
Arshavin shrugged and said, "I'm here to see you off. I've seen your warm-up match."
Arshavin smacked the hammer lightly on Lucky's chest and smiled; "You guy's growth is amazing!"
When he left Arsenal, Lucky was still in charge of the dirty work, a pure scavenger role.
But in the previous warm-up match, Arshavin could clearly see Lucky's growth.
For Arshavin's compliment, Le Kai accepted it with a smile, and immediately asked, "You haven't been selected for the national team?"
Arshavin sighed: "Capello probably thinks that I am too old and no longer suitable for his team."
Lekai said regretfully; "But you can still score goals, you can try to fight for it."
Arshavin shook his head and said, "No need, I already feel that my physical condition is declining, and it is estimated that I won't be able to play for a few years."
After finishing speaking, Arshavin glanced at Lucky, smacked Lucky on the chest again, and said, "You guys can't come to Arsenal earlier, I'm gone, and you will win the championship!"
Lekai grinned: "Then you should convince the professor to let him run more to Portugal a few years ago. Maybe he will transfer me directly to Arsenal's youth training, but I don't think so."
Arshavin was also amused.
The two of them hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they couldn't help chatting very deeply.
At this time, a voice came from the team.
"Lucky! It's time for us to go through the security check!"
Hearing this, Lucky responded, looked at Arshavin and said, "I can't chat anymore."
Arshavin nodded and said, "Believe in yourself, you are the best, I know this better than anyone else, the World Cup is a good stage, where to show yourself fully! You can do it!"
Lucky grinned; "Thank you for your encouragement, it's really time for me to go!"
After saying that, Lucky waved his hand towards Arshavin, then turned and left.
After Arshavin watched Le Kai enter the security check, he muttered with a slightly lonely expression;
"World Cup! Who wants to be a spectator if possible!"
