19. The first game of the group stage

Ferreira, the Portuguese main right back who played for Chelsea with Drogba, said in an interview yesterday: "Drogba is undoubtedly the heavyweight star in the Ivory Coast. He has scored so many goals for the Ivory Coast.

Goal. For any team, if a star like him misses the game, it will cause huge losses."

Regarding the question of whether Drogba can return to the competition in time, Ferreira said with a smile: "I hope it is better for him not to play, which is more beneficial to us!"

Cristiano Ronaldo, the star of the Portuguese national team, also came out to be interviewed by media reporters. During his interview, people did not ask many questions about Drogba. More questions were focused on Cristiano Ronaldo.

Regarding the goal drought.

Cristiano Ronaldo's performance in the Portuguese national team is really very poor. He has not scored a goal in the Portuguese national team for more than half a year, almost a year. Of course, people are very concerned about this matter and ask him about it.

"The same goes for waiting for a bus. One bus may not come for a long time, but several buses may come." Faced with such a question, Cristiano Ronaldo replied humorously.

Cristiano Ronaldo also said: "I am not worried, I train as usual, only God knows who is training hard and who should score. I am very calm about it."

The game has not even started yet, but the two teams were already fighting fiercely before the game. Judging from the interviews conducted by the two teams, they both attach great importance to this game and very much hope to win this game.

From the perspective of both sides, this game determines whether both sides can qualify from this group. Of course, they take it very seriously.

This match is the first match of Group 7 and will be played at the Mandela Bay Stadium.

Mandela Bay Stadium is located in Port Elizabeth, Mandela's hometown. Due to historical factors such as apartheid, the city has never built a professional stadium. In 2007, the city government spent US$282 million to build a new stadium.

The Mandela Bay Stadium was finally located on the river bank of North Lake Prince Alfred Park in the northern end of the city, that is, north of the CBD, close to the main highway and surrounded by water on three sides. The transportation is convenient and the environment is beautiful.

The stadium is also boldly designed based on this feature. Each ceiling on the top is like a petal, surrounding the stadium into a "lotus" blooming by the water. The stadium also has 150 VIP boxes and 60 business boxes.

Posters of football stars.

The atmosphere of the whole stadium is very good. Of course, it would be better if there was no sound of the vuvuzela, because the sound is really confusing.

"CCTV, CCTV, hello viewers, this is CCTV Channel 5, I am Duan Xuan!" Duan Xuan, the football commentator of CCTV Sports Channel, began the live commentary. This game was broadcast live on CCTV.

, Xu Yang, what do you think?" Duan Xuan asked Xu Yang.

"Haha! This is hard to say. To be honest, we all know the problems of the Portuguese national team. But we also know their strength very well. I think both teams have a chance. Of course, the result of this first game is very

Commentator Xu Yang said.

Duan Xuan, the commentator of the TV sports channel, said with certainty.

"Then if Drogba does not play in this game, the strength of Côte d'Ivoire will definitely drop by a notch. Then the Côte d'Ivoire team will be a bit uncertain in this game. As the players of the Portuguese national team said before the game, if Drogba

If they don't play, their chances of winning will be very high," said Xu Yang, a guest commentator on CCTV Sports Channel.

"Okay, the director told us that the Portuguese national team's bus has arrived at the stadium, let's cut the signal and have a look." Duan Xuan, the commentator of CCTV Sports Channel, said immediately.

After all, this is Africa, and African fans are of course more supportive of the stars on their side, and there are a lot of Ivorian fans here.

But it hit the goal post hard.

"Wow! Judging from this kick, Cristiano Ronaldo is in good form today. I think he should be able to break the national team's goal drought in this game." Commentator Xu Yang of CCTV Sports Channel looked at

All this said.

The TV screen quickly cut to Qiu Ze's side. Qiu Ze was very calm during the warm-up before the game. He didn't make any shocking moves. He simply passed the ball to his teammates and tossed it back and forth.

Normally, nothing interesting to see.

At this moment, the TV screen turned, and the players of the Cote d'Ivoire team came out to warm up in the player tunnel. The scene immediately erupted with warm sounds, as they welcomed the arrival of the Cote d'Ivoire team.
