Champion’s Heart

"This is really a tough time..."

When Zhou Yi was lying on the bed with such emotions, the Brazil-Croatia game was being played on the TV. Only 11 minutes into the opening, Brazilian left-back Marcelo scored an own goal, which led to Croatia's lead.

The host Brazil is lagging behind, watched by tens of thousands of fellow fans.

The Brazilian narrator on TV broadcasts babbling, but no one can understand, even if Spanish is similar to Portuguese, but Portuguese is so fast, so that He Ying and Sun Pan It sounds difficult, so they didn't intend to understand what the narrator said.

Even if I watched the game, I was absent-minded.

Because it doesn't matter how other people's games are. What matters is your own game.

Just before the opening game of the World Cup, the Chinese team internally announced the list of tomorrow's games, and Zhou Yi did not take it for granted.

Tomorrow's first group match, the Chinese team will challenge the Chilean team at the Pantanal Arena in Cuiabá.

In the last warm-up match that has just ended a few days, the opponent of the Chinese team is Costa Rica. The reason for choosing this team is because everyone is a Latin American country, and there may be some similarities in the style of play .

In that game, the Chinese team tied 1-1 with Costa Rica.

It may be okay to just look at the result, but you must know that Costa Rica is leading most of the game. Until the 77th minute, the Chinese team played a successful defensive counterattack. He Ying's personal ability equalized score.

So from the process point of view, the performance of the Chinese team is not satisfactory.

This is just a warm-up match. The World Cup is about to start. The Costa Rican players are not doing their best. They are not very hard when they are defending. They are worried about injury.

After the real World Cup match, the opponent will no longer have any reservations.

At that time, how can the Chinese team without Zhou Yi control the rhythm face the opponent with fangs?

Everyone gathered in Zhou Yi's room to watch the opener, but I'm afraid they were not in the game.

So naturally they talked about Zhou Yi's injury.

Zhou Yi, who always shows people with smile and confidence in front of the media, only reveals his feelings in front of his friends, with the emotion just now.

Since he was injured, it was really difficult.

In fact, the injury itself is not very serious, as long as there is enough time to recuperate, it is not a big deal at all.

But this time he caught up with the World Cup, and the time was very tight. If Dortmund did not reach the Champions League final, and Zhou Yi suffered the same injury in the last round of the Bundesliga, it would not cause such a big reaction. More than a month is enough for him to recover.

Because of the World Cup, this minor injury has become tricky.

Does Zhou Yi himself want to come back soon? Of course he thought, more than anyone else.

Did Zhou Yi himself want to miss the first two group matches? Of course I don’t want to.

But no way, he can only accept this result now.

"Relax, we won't stop at the group stage...Warm man" Yang Muge comforted softly.

"I believe we won't stop at the group stage, but it's still uncomfortable to watch your game in front of the TV like now."

Sun Pan smiled: "Fool! You can watch it on the spot!"

Zhou Yibai gave him a glance.

On TV, after a series of indiscriminate bombardments, the Brazilian team finally equalized their core player Neymar in the 29th minute.

"Brazil played so hard at home...it's really hard to play this World Cup..." He Ying murmured while watching the TV.

"Brazil is underestimating the enemy? They think Croatia must pinch casually, which is a hard bone." Others also focused their attention on the game, Guo Nu said. "There are still a lot of powerful Croatian players..."

"I think the overall strength of this Brazilian team has declined." Zhou Yi said. "Now the Brazilian football talents are seriously broken, and it's been a long time since they have seen any excellent youth players. Look at this Brazilian team. Players like Fred who have been difficult to enter the Brazilian team before can now be centers Now..."

In the end the Brazilian team scored by Neymar at home until the 71st minute, overtaking the score. In the 90th minute Oscar completely locked the victory for the team, 3:1, Brazil won the first game of the World Cup with some difficulty.

This is the end of the first match day of the World Cup.

Brazil won the victory they had to lay, which laid a good foundation for the group to qualify.

The next day is the day when the World Cup is in full swing.

At noon on the 13th, the second group match of Group A began, with Mexico playing against Cameroon. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Group B Spain kicked off with a strong dialogue with the Netherlands. At seven o'clock in the evening, the Chinese team and the Chilean team made their debut in the second group match of Group B.

The Beijing time corresponding to these three games is 0:00 am, 3:00 am and 6:00 am.

The match between China and Chile will kick off at 6 am on June 14. If you only watch the Chinese team's game, you don't have to stay up late, just get up early.

However, before the match between China and Chile, the game between Spain and the Netherlands was also very concerned.

This is a repeat of the last World Cup final.

※※※

On June 14, the hotel where the Chinese team stayed was crowded with media reporters and Chinese fans since the morning.

Although there was news yesterday that Zhou Yi would definitely not be able to participate in this game, everyone still had the luck and hoped that a miracle would happen at the last moment, Zhou Yi miraculously recovered and then caught up with this game.

After lunch, the Chinese team took a lunch break in accordance with the requirements of the coaching staff.

At this time, the game between Mexico and Cameroon also began.

Maybe it was just for lunch, maybe it was too early for the game, and neither player was very excited.

In the end, Mexico relied on Peralta's goal to win Cameroon 1-0. The ranking of points in Group A has come out. Brazil, which beat Croatia 3-1, is ranked first, Mexico is second, and Cameroon is third. Croatia is at the bottom because of the least goal difference.

Before the match between the Netherlands and Spain began, the Chinese players recovered from their nap. Then at the request of the coaching staff, we went to the conference room to watch the match between the Netherlands and Spain. Their purpose of watching the game is different from that of ordinary fans. As opponents in the same group, of course they must fully understand the current status of these two teams.

At the same time, in China, many fans stay up late to watch the game.

This game is the first heavyweight dialogue in this World Cup.

Before this game, the Spanish national team was the highest peak in world football. They monopolized the past three world championships, including two European Cups and one World Cup. Although last year's Confederations Cup, they lost to the Brazil team 0:3 in the finals, but the Confederations Cup has always been used for training, and can not explain what the problem is.

Before the game, everyone was reviewing the final four years ago, the foot that De Jong gave Harvey Alonso’s chest, the Iniesta lore, and the wonderful save of Casillas.

Prior to this game, Casillas had maintained a record of 433 consecutive minutes without losing the World Cup. In the last World Cup in South Africa, Spain lost only two goals in seven games, and all came from the group stage. Casillas had zero opponents in the four knockout games. This game faces the Netherlands. As long as he keeps the ball for the first 85 minutes, he will set a new record, surpassing the legendary Italian national Zengjia who has not lost the ball in 517 consecutive minutes.

"I'm not very optimistic about Casillas breaking Zenga's record." Zhou Yi said before waiting for the game to start. "His current state is very bad, especially after losing the Champions League final, the Spanish domestic media have been criticizing him, thinking that Real Madrid lost the tenth Champions League, the culprit is him. There are voices saying that De Gea Substituting Casillas... These doubts have undermined Casillas' confidence. In addition, he also bears a lot of pressure, which is not conducive to his play in the World Cup."

Zhou Yi is really not optimistic about Casillas. If Casillas was the top goalkeeper in the world, then he has now been downgraded to the top in Europe. Although still a very powerful goalkeeper, there is still a big gap from the magical and omnipotent "St Igor" before.

People are old, and they haven't gotten good training in the club, so a decline in state is inevitable.

After the game started, the two sides played very positively. Have created some killing opportunities.

Casillas also saved Sneijder's single-handed ball.

It seems that the Champions League final defeat did not affect him.

In the twenty-sixth minute, Silva sent a straight ball, before giving up the opportunity to join the Brazilian national team, the Brazilian striker Diego Costa who chose to join the Spanish team broke into the penalty area to try to get rid of the Dutch player's defense but fell to the ground, the Italian referee Rizzoli whistle decisively and gave Spain a penalty.

However, from a slow motion, Costa is suspected of falling.

But the head referee has already ruled, saying nothing is useless.

Xavi Alonso came to take the penalty, he sent the football into the bottom left corner of the goal, Spain lead the Netherlands 1-0.

After two years of experience, the two teams seem to have nothing changed. Spain is still better than the Netherlands.

But in the next game, the Dutch team launched a violent counterattack. They continued to attack until the end of the first half, Blind of the Dutch team suddenly slanted a long pass near the left center line ~www.wuxiaspot.com~The football flew in the air for about fifty meters and then flew to Spain. In the big restricted area.

The Dutch striker Van Persie who rushed to the horse rushed to the top. At a very far distance, he chose a surging shot. This was a completely unexpected shot. The football flew past Casillas, who was in the front. Fall into the earth door behind him! The Dutch equalized!

"I depend!"

Seeing this goal, the conference room exclaimed that Van Persie's goal could actually be scored.

"This luck is too good!" someone shouted.

"No, it's because Casillas is too forward. He has a big problem in judging the high ball. The lack of game makes him lose the ability to accurately determine the goal of the football..." Zhou Yi in Casillas In the eyes of fans, it must be "Casillas Black". But what he said is true, because he has proved it in the Champions League final.

The first half ended with a 1:1 draw.
