Ice Shooter of the Green Field

On May 29th, Qi Ce came to the Xianghe training base to play a warm-up match with the national team. The opponent was Beijing Guoan. This was an internal warm-up match. There was no open audience and Qi Ce did not play. Basically, Gao Hongbo Instead of worrying about Zice's condition, he instead noticed Zice's physical fitness. After all, he just finished a fierce Champions League final a week ago.

In the end, with the outstanding performance of young national football players Chen Chaojie and Wu Lei, the national football team defeated Beijing Guoan 3:1, giving the players some confidence. Chen Chaojie, who is only 18 years old this year and has not yet celebrated his 19th birthday, is the biggest player in Chinese football this year. Surprisingly, it can be said that he is the only player besides Zize who has absolute confidence. From a mentality point of view, he can be a foreign aid player.

Because whether they are domestic league players or other overseas players, most of them are assistants. Domestic players follow the foreign players to play, while overseas players work as a puzzle piece for the team, using passing and running to assist the team's core kicks. They dare to take the ball and make moves on their own. There are very few people who break out on their own. It should be said that they only choose to go it alone when they have no choice, but Chen Chaojie is different.

At Sparta Rotterdam, he played as an attacking midfielder.

This is a position that requires a lot of organization with the ball, breakthroughs with the ball and even shooting. In a formation with a front midfielder, the front midfielder is usually the eye of the formation, at least the key to the offense, and is a very important position.

Chen Chaojie's ability to establish himself in this position shows that he has absolute ability!

After playing this game, the national football team faced a challenge from the African country Morocco three days later. This country in northwest Africa is right next to the Chinese team's group stage opponent Algeria. Both of them are similar in terms of technical characteristics and team style. They are very close. They both have many technical players with high upper limits but low lower limits. To put it bluntly, they are not stable, but in major cup competitions, we are afraid of teams like this that go crazy.

Morocco, like Algeria, has a large number of players who played in Europe and were even born in Europe. In the 1960s, countries led by the Netherlands signed labor treaties with North African countries including Morocco, Algeria and other countries. A large number of North Africans left their hometowns to develop countries. He worked in Europe, got married and had children there. Today, among the twenty-odd players of the Moroccan national team who came to China, 17 people were born in Europe, among which the Netherlands has the most, with six.

Facing the highly technical Morocco, the Chinese team struggled to cope. Zice still did not start the game. In the first half of the game, the Moroccans beat him 0:2. Then Zice came on in the second half, passing and shooting to equalize the score. The final score remained at 2:2, a difficult draw with Morocco at home, and fans also cast a shadow over the prospects of the World Cup.

For the last warm-up match, the team chose to play in Brazil. In order to find a training partner, the Football Association also made some efforts and invited Ukraine, which also did not qualify for the World Cup, to play a game in Brazil, with all expenses paid.

This is to allow the national team to adapt to the Brazilian venue and climate in advance, and to simulate Russian games.

There is an unclear historical relationship between Ukraine and Russia.

They have been separated and reunited for hundreds of years. Due to national reasons, the two countries are very similar in sports, especially football, which is the most popular football in Europe. Their physical fitness, technical characteristics and so on are very similar.

Of course, Ukraine still cannot compare with Russia in terms of strength. Even after the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1990, this is the third time Russia has participated in the World Cup finals, while Ukraine has only participated once. Russia has never been absent from the European Cup. Ukraine only participated in In the 2012 European Cup, they advanced directly because they were the host nation.

In this game, Zice started the game. In the enthusiastic South American continent, Zice didn't seem to have much discomfort. The temperature in Brazil was not low, but it was within an acceptable range, and the climate was quite comfortable.

The Chinese team still did not win in this game. Zice played for an hour and was replaced. He scored a goal before being replaced. The final score was a small loss of 1:2.

Facing opponents with similar styles who cannot win, many domestic fans have finally begun to recognize the reality and striving for even one victory is the most reasonable goal for the national football team.

One win, one draw and one loss, this is the result of the warm-up match before the World Cup. For the national football team, if this record is put into the World Cup, it will be very good, and there is still a chance to qualify.

But the fact is, facing two weak opponents with similar styles, the Chinese team failed to win. Can they win in the World Cup?

The only win in the warm-up match was by Beijing Guoan, which has little reference value. It can be said that it is mainly to warm up the team and gain some confidence, and it has little reference value.

But no matter what, the previous games are over and the World Cup is coming!

FIFA has also made a preview of this World Cup. The biggest favorite for this World Cup is the host Brazil. Brazil, which plays at home, has attracted much attention. This World Cup also puts great financial pressure on Brazil. The Brazilian government has to make other arrangements. The reduction of local expenditures and the increase of taxes actually have a great impact on the country, and there are constant criticisms from various places.

In this mood, Brazil's domestic requirements for the team are even higher. If you don't win the championship, you will fail!

In addition, Argentina ranks second in odds. The World Cup is held on the South American continent, and naturally has a natural home field advantage over South American teams. Argentina is also strong, with Messi, Di Maria, Higuain, Tevez, and Aguay. Argentina, with super strikers such as Ronaldo, must also be one of the favorites to win the championship.

Next are several major European giants, such as the defending champion Spain, the resurgent Germany, the star-studded Belgium and the last runner-up the Netherlands, ranking third to sixth.

As for the Chinese team, it ranks relatively low among the top 32, but it doesn’t seem to be too far behind.

The ones with the highest odds are 2,500 to 1, which means that if they win the championship, buying one dollar will give you 2,500, and buying 10,000 will give you 25 million. Of course, this is almost impossible, respectively. Iran, Honduras, Costa Rica and Australia.

The Chinese team is not within this category.

Algeria's odds are 1,000 to 1, and Cameroon's odds are 7,500 to 1. Together with the four victims at the bottom of the list, they are the top six from the bottom.

The Chinese team is even ahead of the United States team in the middle. The United States' odds of winning the World Cup are 250 to 1, the same as Nigeria, while the odds of the Chinese team are 200 to 1, and Like Mexico, Greece, and Ghana, the highest among Asian teams is the Japanese team, which loses 150 per one.

In other words, at least according to the betting company, the strength of the Chinese team is ranked around 20th to 23rd among the 32 teams in the world. There is still a possibility that the Chinese team can compete to qualify. of.

At least, Algeria has lower odds than the Chinese team. If it can win against Algeria in the group stage, it will have a chance to qualify.

The World Cup is a feast. Although it can be said that hosting the World Cup in Brazil is a waste of time and money, many Brazilians have started demonstrations. They believe that the financial resources invested in hosting the World Cup are beyond the reach of Brazil. As a result, the people have to foot the bill, prices have skyrocketed, and the cost of living has risen to almost the same level as in Europe. It is at the same level as developed countries, but it still cannot hide the Brazilian people's love for football.

On the streets of Brazil, you can see some children playing football in small open spaces everywhere under the leadership of adults. You can also often see graffiti on the walls, most of which are football-related. Neymar is the most popular among Brazilian children now. My favorite star, Neymar’s graffiti can often be seen.

Unlike his high popularity in East Asia, Zice is not a very popular star in South America. Of course, there are many people who like him, but it is far less than in Europe and Asia.

This may be mainly due to Zize's skills. Zize can be said to be a very modern all-around forward, and often has some imaginative performances, but South American fans do not like this kind of imagination.

Brazilian fans like Neymar who has unparalleled foot skills or Ronaldinho's freehand style of playing. Zize bursts out with incredible energy in a well-behaved situation. Brazilian fans prefer the free and unrestrained style. imagination.

In FIFA's official preview, the top stars from each of the South American duo are also regarded as the representative figures of the World Cup, while Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo has become the representative figure of the European region. Of course, Zize represents In Asia, FIFA combined these four superstars into a promotional photo for the World Cup, announcing to the world that the World Cup in Brazil is coming.

Shortly after the match between the National Football Team and Ukraine, the warm-up matches for all participating teams in the World Cup have ended. The top 32 teams have both good and bad times. For Chinese football, although reaching this point is considered a success, it has really reached this point. One step, who doesn’t want to take one step forward!

After winning the Asian Cup, Chinese fans have invisibly raised their demands. People are always unsatisfied creatures. With a superstar like Qi Ce, fans always want to go one step further, but this is also Qi Ce. requirements for oneself.
