As the date of the World Cup opener gets closer, cities in Russia are becoming more and more lively.

Tens of thousands of fans come from all over the world to gather in Russia and prepare to celebrate this festival that belongs to all fans.

In the football world, the World Cup means something different.

From the beginning, this tournament represented the highest level of world football.

However, with the development of professional football and the entry of capital, a large number of star players gathered in high-level European leagues. Among them, the most well-known representative is the five-nation league of England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain.

The level of European football leagues is getting higher and higher with the influx of high-level players from all over the world.

Especially those wealthy clubs that have achieved brilliant results in their respective leagues have luxurious lineups that can rival the strength of any world-class national team. The competitions between these giant clubs, such as Spanish Derby, Italian Derby, etc., were once considered to be the highest level competitions in the world, leading the culture and tradition of world football.

The UEFA Champions League, because it brings together the top and most outstanding teams in Europe, has naturally become the highest level competition in European football and even world football.

Many people believe that the level of competition in the knockout stages of the Champions League is close to, or even surpasses, many World Cup matches.

The intensity of the Champions League final is no less intense than the World Cup final.

In terms of influence in the football world, the World Cup undoubtedly occupies the first-mover advantage and is the origin of countless fans' fascination with football. But as a rising star, the UEFA Champions League is also rising rapidly, and its influence and competitiveness are approaching or even partially surpassing the World Cup.

But even so, even if one day the competitive level of the UEFA Champions League surpasses the World Cup in all aspects, this event cannot completely replace the World Cup.

the reason is simple.

The World Cup is an event at the national team level.

Just like the Olympics.

The Olympics may not be a competition that represents the highest level of all events, but its status is still unique.

national team games,

The national sentiment and the deep meaning it can contain are completely incomparable to competitions in which individuals and clubs are participating units.

This is like saying that when Liu Xiang won the championship at the World Athletics Championships and received personal honors, and when he was soaring in the Olympics and won medals, the feeling he brought to the Chinese people was completely different.

When the five-star red flag in the Olympic Games rises amid the passionate national anthem, every honor Liu Xiang receives is no longer just his glory. All 1.4 billion Chinese people can also feel that kind of glory. Touching, that excitement, that pride, that pride.

This is the collective sense of honor that national team events can carry.

This is also why large-scale events such as the Olympic Games and the Football World Cup are so attractive.

He gives every ordinary person a sense of participation and participation.

Even a sense of mission.

Everyone can feel honored by the results achieved by their national team, and they can also feel frustrated by the poor progress of the national team's competition.

This strong sense of participation cannot be brought by the Champions League.

Even though the Champions League may have higher-level players and teams, and more exciting and higher-level competitions, the World Cup is still the World Cup. The World Cup is not only for the fans, but also for the countries where the 32 participating teams belong, and even for ordinary fans and ordinary people around the world.

So much to say.

In fact, one sentence.

For Chu Ge, the appreciation points that the World Cup can bring are unmatched by all other events.

This is a national carnival.

…

On June 14, the opening match of this World Cup officially started in Moscow, the capital of Russia.

The two sides of the competition are the host Russia and the Saudi Arabian team from Asia.

At the opening ceremony, the legendary Spanish goalkeeper and Real Madrid star Casillas brought the Hercules Cup to the venue. The upbeat opening songs and dances kept the audience immersed and swaying to the rhythm.

Afterwards, Russian President Vladimir Putin took the stage to deliver a speech.

This is also the first time in the history of the World Cup that a head of state has delivered a speech at the opening ceremony!

It has to be said that the Russians take this World Cup very seriously.

You can get a glimpse of that from the opponents they picked for their opening game.

Saudi Arabia has always been at the top of the food chain in Asia, and its strength is relatively high. However, this team's performance in the World Cup is somewhat hard to describe.

They are the only team to have suffered defeats of more than four goals in three consecutive World Cups.

In 1998, they lost to France 0:4.

Zidane was playing for France at the time.

Subsequently, in 2002, Saudi Arabia was massacred by Germany with a score of 0:8. In 2006, they lost to Ukraine 0:4. In the following World Cups in South Africa and Brazil, Saudi Arabia failed to advance. This year's World Cup in Russia is their second time to enter the World Cup finals after missing two World Cups.

then.

They lost again by a huge margin.

0:5.

Cheryshev and Golovin became the heroes of the Russians, and the only bright spot in Saudi Arabia may be the hands that were inadvertently revealed when the disappointed chiefs in the stands covered their faces with their hands.

Everyone else wears rings on their hands.

They are ring wearers.

…

Russia got its wish and got a good start.

So,

What about China?

Seeing the Russian national team sweep Saudi Arabia with a score of 5:0, Chinese fans can't help but look forward to China's game against Sweden three days later.

In the China group, the power of the four teams is divided, and there is basically no dispute about the weakest team.

The strongest team is also not in dispute.

The only difference may be between the two teams of Sweden and Mexico, which one is stronger and which one is weaker.

Considering the lineups of the two teams and their respective results in international competitions, generally speaking, Mexico's football style may be restrained by Sweden, but the content and strength they can show on the field should be It is one step ahead of Sweden.

Then the problem arises.

In this World Cup, many Chinese fans have expectations for the national football team to surpass the results of the previous World Cup.

That is, at least one goal must be scored.

If you can get a point, that would be even better.

Therefore, knowing that Sweden may be third in the strength ranking group, many people will have a natural expectation.

Can you score a goal for Sweden?

Is there even a chance to try to tie Sweden?

Chinese media and fans have discussed this a lot.

When Sweden regarded China as the target that must score points in this group, they may not have thought that this weak opponent was also eyeing them and had plans.

When you stare into the abyss,

The abyss is also smiling.

…

Su Qingqing arrived at Jiangcheng's airport in the night sky.

The day after tomorrow is the match between China and Sweden.

After successfully completing the meeting with relevant leaders, she immediately boarded a plane to Russia, preparing to watch Chu Ge's World Cup debut.

Along the way, she saw many Chinese fans, all heading in the same direction as her.

Almost at the same time.

Chu Ge and Zidane walked out of the hotel room at the same time.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

In the room they walked out of, the staff of CCTV's "World Football" program team were still busy.

This is the filming of a documentary specially prepared by the World Football column team for this World Cup and Chu Ge.

Before communicating with Chu Ge, they were worried about whether they would encounter rejection.

With the World Cup at the forefront, all work is focused on the World Cup competition tasks. If Chu Ge is worried about being influenced by the outside world and refuses the interview and recording requirements of the program team, this is completely reasonable.

However, Chu Ge did not.

In fact, it is also one of the athletes' duties to cooperate with the filming work to a certain extent during the competition.

For experienced players and coaches with strong psychological qualities, this job will not cause them any trouble.

For example, during the season at Real Madrid, in order to cooperate with the filming of the Real Madrid club's championship documentary, a number of Real Madrid's big-name players, including Ronaldo and Ramos, as well as Chu Ge, participated in the filming of the club's documentary. Even on the day of the Champions League final, club staff will still film the players departing from the hotel and arriving at the stadium, and will even participate to a certain extent in the pre-match preparations, halftime, post-match celebrations and other aspects of the game.

With that experience, Chu Ge does not reject the recording request from the World Football Program Group.

For his national team teammates, it may be a bit awkward to participate in the World Cup and also cooperate with the media to record programs. But Chu Ge had no such concerns.

To be honest, he himself was very interested in Tianzu's copywriting level.

He was very curious about what kind of copywriting Tianzu would use when broadcasting this World Cup segment about himself.

Today's recording is the opening segment of the entire documentary.

Chu Ge was very relaxed.

Facing the interview with Dangxuan, he briefly reviewed his career in football.

In this interview, Dangxuan asked Chu Ge an interesting question.

"Do you think you are the hero of Chinese football?"

"The reason why I ask this is because many people have discussed this topic. Many people think it is. They believe that your appearance has brought dawn to Chinese football. You have brought unprecedented opportunities to Chinese football and also helped The national team has made it to this World Cup and is undoubtedly an outstanding hero. I am curious, what do you think about this topic? Do you think you are a hero of Chinese football?"

Danxuan looked at Chu Ge curiously.

Until this year, Chu Ge had just turned twenty. However, the youngster is already widely regarded as one of the best players in the world, with many even considering him to be the best player in the world this year and the strongest contender for the European Ballon d'Or.

But the domestic media still don't know enough about him.

Dangxuan looked forward to how Chu Ge would answer this question.

"hero?"

Chu Ge was stunned for a moment.

He is called a genius, called Boss Chu, and some people call him Chu Dog, but he is still a little unfamiliar with the title of hero.

"I don't know how to accurately define the word hero."

"I didn't want to be a hero. I just did my job seriously and tried my best. That's all."

"However, if Chinese football needs someone to be a hero, and if becoming a hero is what the fans expect, then I will be it."

…

After the opening game, the matches of each World Cup group begin.

Three games were played on June 15th.

Egypt narrowly lost to Uruguay by one goal.

Iran defeated Morocco by one goal and won its first victory by an Asian team.

The highlight of the day is undoubtedly the double tooth battle between Portugal and Spain.

Before this game, Real Madrid made big news.

They backstabbed the Spanish Football Association and announced in advance that Spanish national team coach Lopetegui will serve as Real Madrid's head coach in the new season after the World Cup.

Perhaps worried that this news would affect the morale of the Spanish international, or more likely because they were unhappy about being stabbed in the back, the Spanish Football Federation did not hesitate to fire Lopetegui.

Real Madrid star Hierro quickly took over as the firefighting coach.

The direct result of the temporary coaching change was that Spain and Portugal ended in a 3:3 draw.

In this game, Ronaldo became the focus of all fans.

Especially when he took the direct free kick, when he lifted up his shorts and exposed his thick leg hair, the first classic moment in this World Cup was born.

The first game of Group F, where Chu Ge is located, will be held on June 17.

The two sides of the game are the two popular teams in this group.

Germany and Mexico.

In the first game of the group stage, there was a big upset.

Defending champion Germany overturned.

They lost to Mexico 0:1, causing a big upset.

Although it is generally believed that Mexico is the second-best team in this group, even the second-placed Mexico, few people will be optimistic about them when they meet Germany.

In the last World Cup, people still vividly remember the scene of Germany's bloodbath in Brazil.

They are widely regarded as one of the favorites to win the World Cup.

No one expected that the first defeat of this favorite team would come so quickly.

Like a tornado.

As soon as the game ended, countless gambling dogs lined up on the rooftop.

…

"Did the German team lose?"

Chu Ge was a little surprised when he learned this result.

He glanced at the contacts on his phone and recalled Cross's previous heroic words, and couldn't help but feel a little magical.

The Chinese media was also in an uproar.

They all analyzed the favorable or unfavorable impact that Germany's unexpected loss had on the national football team.

After some lively discussion, they concluded.

not my business.

As the team with the most stable performance in this group, our biggest advantage compared with the national football team Germany is that we have been stable for decades.

Never let the fans worry blindly.

Not like the German team.

They suddenly lost the game, and thinking of the sad look of the German fans, the Chinese fans had no fluctuations in their hearts, and even wanted to laugh a little.

…

Chu Ge did not contact Cross or Xiao Wandou.

He quickly stopped paying attention to the match between Germany and Mexico and had no time to follow them.

because.

His World Cup debut will begin soon.

This is also the first World Cup match for this national football team.

The 2002 World Cup was too long ago now, and none of the players who participated in that World Cup were selected for this World Cup.

This is a new team.

If there is any connection, the only one is that the old national goalkeeper Ou Chuliang, who participated in the 2002 World Cup, is now the goalkeeper coach of the national football team and has also come to Russia.

…

June 18th.

The Nizhny Novgorod Stadium, which can accommodate 45,000 people, was packed.

In the stands, flying all over the sky, was the familiar five-star red flag.

The entire stadium was dyed bright red by the absent red flag, and being in it felt like being in a sea of ​​red.

Almost two-thirds of the audience have yellow skin and dark eyes.

Before the game started, they distributed national flags and cheering slogans in the audience. Many people smeared the red flag on their faces.

No matter how many times the national football team has caused them harm, they are still determined to support this team without any regrets.

Scold him and blame him.

But she also loved him deeply.

There is no other reason,

Just because he is our own team.

Five fingers connected to the heart, blood from the same origin, we all have a common name, Huaxia, China!

I have no regrets about entering China in this life,

In the next life, I will still be a flower farmer.
