Chapter 15 Opening Ceremony and Opening Game!

Brazil, Sao Paulo, Corinthians Stadium.

Brazil time, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the opening ceremony of the 2014 Brazil World Cup was officially staged.

The whole opening ceremony is divided into three parts, nature, human and football.

The first part is the welcome ceremony, which welcomes fans from all over the world to Brazil and pay attention to the World Cup in Brazil. In this part, various endemic plants in Brazil are displayed. At the same time, the big ball in the middle also shows the development and evolution of the earth.

In the second part, the live performers danced, and the dancers danced samba. Of course, there were other dance forms on the scene, and all the dances and music came together to form a Brazilian symphony.

In addition, the tumbler dolls that appeared on the scene are handicrafts that symbolize black women, and are now a symbol of tourism in northeastern Brazil.

The third part, football debut!

64 children representing 32 participating teams entered the center of the field to perform.

When a child showed up at the Corinthians Stadium holding a five-star red flag representing China, the Chinese fans who were staying up late watching the opening ceremony were full of excitement.

For every Chinese fan, this moment is an extremely happy time!

Unlike the previous dark period, they are now also one of the participants in the World Cup.

Then, a huge Brazilian flag came into the field. A paraplegic Brazilian youth will kick off the opening game of the World Cup. His mobility comes from an "exoskeleton" robot system developed by scientists from many countries. The system can be realized according to brain signals. Stand and walk.

Throughout the lively session, the melody of the Brazil World Cup theme song "WeAreOne" resounded over the stadium, and three singers, Pippaolo, Claudia Letty and Jennifer Lopez, appeared in the stadium amidst cheers and applause , to sing the entire song.

Until the end of the song, the screen suddenly switched to the player channel.

The two teams of the World Cup opener are already standing in it.

Hosts Brazil and Croatia led by Modric.

At this moment, a strong World Cup atmosphere suddenly appeared.

"I'm coming!"

In the conference room of the hotel, the players of the Chinese team also gathered together to watch the opening ceremony and the opening game together.

The commentator Ulala on TV kept talking, and most people couldn't understand it.

But Le Kai and Chen Man, who know "Portuguese", can understand it.

At the same time, the game starting lineup also appeared on TV.

Brazil (4-2-3-1):

Goalkeeper: Cesar.

Defenders: Alves, Thiago Silva, David Luiz, Marcelo.

Midfield: Hulk, Paulinho, Oscar, Gistavo, Neymar.

Forward: Fred.

...

Croatia (4-2-1-2-1):

Goalkeeper: Predikosa.

Defenders: Vrsalikko, Lovren, Joel Luka, Srna.

Midfielders: Olic, Rakitic, Kovacic, Modric, Perisic.

Forward: Jelavic.

Amidst the huge cheers and voices, the players of the two teams walked out of the player channel and onto the court.

Standing in a circle at the center circle, three children release doves symbolizing peace.

After that, the two captains split sides.

The game has officially started!

"Brazil's attack is so fierce!" Chen Man said with wide-eyed eyes.

"Croatia also played well, and every counterattack is very threatening." Liu Kairui licked his lips nervously.

Others have also voiced their views.

Everyone watched the game with the mood of feeling the atmosphere.

Once the game started, the smell of gunpowder on both sides was full.

At 6 minutes, the Japanese referee awarded Brazil a chance to set the ball in the frontcourt.

This set ball is located not far from the left side of the penalty area and can easily pose 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 players of the Chinese team are also constantly analyzing the trend of the game.

Everyone is expressing their opinions.

Until 11 minutes, Croatia made a sudden counterattack, and Modric gave Olic a forward dribble, and Olic made a direct pass after hitting the bottom.

The ball passed through three Brazilian players to Marcelo, who was eager to drink and drive, and then an own goal was born!

In 11 minutes, the host Brazil 0:1 Croatia.

At this moment, the entire stadium fell silent.

The Brazilian fans looked at the stadium in disbelief, and the instigator Marcelo glanced blankly again and again, his eyes full of guilt.

The moment the goal was scored, not only the stadium fell into silence, but even the conference room where the Chinese team was located was also quiet.

Gudong!

Guan Zhe swallowed subconsciously.

This own goal made the defenders of the Chinese team nervous.

In this atmosphere, everyone will subconsciously bring themselves into it.

Even Liu Kairui, who has always been lively and talkative, fell silent rarely.

Marcelo's own goal put a lot of pressure on them.

Think about it in another way, if they scored an own goal instead, their mentality would have collapsed!

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit depressed, Chen Man couldn't help but said, "You won't also..."

Le Kai interrupted Chen Man's words with a slap.

Chen Man covered his hot back, turned his head and glared, "Why did you hit me?!"

Le Kai said unhappily; "Shut up if you can't speak, I know what you want to say."

"I...I...Okay!" Chen Slow admitted.

Just now I subconsciously wanted to enliven the atmosphere, but if I really said it, I guess I was really playing with the mentality of my teammates.

The atmosphere was extremely dignified, and at this moment, the Chinese team was also brought into the atmosphere.

Time passed a little bit, and Brazil, which was behind, began to press up sharply.

In the 28th minute, Neymar made a close cut outside the penalty area, and the ball stuck to the ground and got into the goal near the right post.

At this moment, the audience is boiling.

In the tactical room of the Chinese team, the players also clenched their fists subconsciously, and some even whispered 'yes! '.

They didn't really support Brazil, but they brought in the side that was behind and created a tense atmosphere for it.

And with Neymar's goal, the depressive atmosphere disappeared.

Neymar's goal completely turned on Brazil's offensive switch.

A violent attack was launched.

Oscar, in particular, played extremely well in this game. He made many beautiful passes and stuffed the ball into the dangerous zone of Croatia.

Compared with the dazed figure in the Premier League, the Oscar of the national team is even more eye-catching.

The game entered the second half.

The score between the two sides is still 1:1.

The Croatian side relied on Modric's pass to advance.

Brazil, on the other hand, still chooses to attack violently.

Brazil's offensive is fierce, especially under the excellent performance of Neymar and many players, Croatia is gradually showing fatigue.

In the 71st minute, Croatia drew a foul in its own penalty area and was awarded a penalty kick.

Neymar takes the penalty kick.

After a small step, Neymar easily hit the ball into the opponent's goal.

Brazil team 2:1 Croatia.

Despite the lead, Brazil's offensive remains unabated.

At the moment near the end of the game, one minute of stoppage time due to injury, Oscar re-enacted Neymar's goal, which was also a ground cut from outside the penalty area. The ball flew towards the left goal and touched the goal. After the post, roll into the net.

At this moment, the game is over.

When the last stoppage time ended, the opening game of the 2014 World Cup ended with Brazil 3:1 Croatia.

Throughout the whole game, despite some small twists and turns, the Brazilian team still defended their first victory at home and got off to a good start.

The first day of the game ended with the Brazilian team's victory.

On the second day, groups A and B will complete the first cycle.

The three games on the second day are:

Mexico VS Cameroon.

Spain VS Netherlands.

Chile VS China.

Among these three games, Spain vs. Holland is undoubtedly the game that attracts the most attention from fans around the world.

Followed by the match between Mexico and Cameroon, and finally Chile VS China.

But even so, for Chinese fans, what they look forward to most is still the Chinese team's game.

They are nervously waiting for the moment of the game.

In China, the major media have already begun to warm up the game in advance.

CCTV even issued an announcement:
