"I'm coming!"
In the hotel conference room, the players of the Chinese team also gathered to watch the opening ceremony and the opening game together.

"Brazil's attack is so fierce!" Chen Slow said with wide eyes.
"Croatia also played well, and every counterattack is threatening." Liu Kairui licked his lips nervously.
Others are also expressing their opinions.
Everyone watched the game in the mood to feel the atmosphere.
Once the game started, the smell of gunpowder on both sides was full.
6 minutes later, the Japanese referee awarded Brazil a chance to set the ball in the frontcourt.
This set-piece is located not far to the left of the penalty area, and it is easy to form a threat.
The same is true, but the Brazilian team failed to seize the opportunity and returned without success under the fierce defense of Croatia.
The Chinese team players are also constantly analyzing the trend of the game.
Everyone is expressing their opinions.
Until 11 minutes, Croatia suddenly counterattacked, and Modric assigned Olic to dribble forward, and after Olic made a bottom, he directly crossed.

The Brazilian fans looked at the stadium in disbelief, and Marcelo, the initiator, glanced blankly again and again, his eyes full of guilt.
At the moment when scored, not only the stadium fell into silence, but even the conference room where the Chinese team was located was silent.
Coodong!
Guan Zhe subconsciously swallowed.
This own goal made the defenders of the Chinese team nervous.
In this atmosphere, everyone subconsciously brings themselves into it.
Even Liu Kairui, who has always been lively and talkative, was rarely silent.
Marcelo's own goal put a lot of pressure on them.
Think about it in a different position. If they scored an own goal, it is estimated that their mentality has collapsed!
Chen Slow saw that the atmosphere was a little sluggish, and couldn't help but say; "You won't either"
Le Kai interrupted Chen slow with a slap.
Chen slow covered his hot back, turned his head and glared, "Why beat me?!"
Le Kai said in a bad mood; "Shut up if you can't speak, I know what you want to say."
"I, I. Okay!" Chen slow confessed.
Just now, I subconsciously wanted to liven up the atmosphere, but if I really said it, I guess I was really playing up the mentality of my teammates.
The atmosphere was extremely solemn, and at this moment, the Chinese team was also brought into the atmosphere.
Time passed a little bit, and Brazil, which had fallen behind, began to press heavily.
28 minutes, Neymar made a slash from outside the penalty area, and the ball stuck to the ground and drilled into the goal near the right post.
At this moment, the audience was boiling.
In the Chinese team’s tactical room, the players clenched their fists subconsciously, and some even whispered ‘yes! ’.
They didn't really support Brazil, but brought the team behind them and created a tense atmosphere.
And with Neymar's goal, the depressing atmosphere disappeared.
Neymar's goal completely turned on Brazil's offensive switch.
A violent attack begins.
Especially Oscar, who played extremely well in this game, put the ball into the dangerous area of Croatia with many beautiful passes.
Compared to the dazed figure in the Premier League, the Oscar of the national team is more dazzling.
The game entered the second half.
The score is still 1:1.
The Croatian side relied on Modric's pass to advance.
And Brazil still chose to attack violently.
Brazil's offensive was fierce, especially with the excellent performance of Neymar and many players, Croatia gradually showed fatigue.

Neymar takes the penalty.
After a small step, Neymar easily scored the ball into the opponent's goal.
