World Cup of Great Powers

On the third day of the World Cup, eight teams have already taken the stage.

Except for Brazil, which defeated Scotland 2-1 in the opening game, the other three teams were all tied.

Even Italy, the favorite to win the championship, drew with Chile, which is enough to show that there are no underdogs in the World Cup.

In order to host this World Cup, a total of ten stadiums in ten cities in France will take turns to hold competitions.

Even in the same group, the four teams play on different stadiums.

In the words of tunnel warfare, it's like "shooting and changing places."

Although France is not big in area, it is about the same size as Sichuan.

But having to change places immediately after playing the game has a great impact on some teams coming from afar.

Before the national team's game, the Asahi Shimbun made some predictions about the national football team's first World Cup match.

The article stated that behind this Chinese team is not only the enthusiasm of 1.2 billion Chinese people, but also the expectations of thousands of Asian fans.

I hope that the first game of the national football team can set an example for the other three Asian teams and give the Asian teams a good start.

Whether the Chinese team can achieve a good result in the first game will directly affect whether the group can qualify.

According to the FIFA rankings, the national football team has the highest ranking in history, ranking 37th;

Denmark is ranked 19th, and the gap between the two sides is double.

If we can score points against the Danes, we will have great hope of qualifying from the group;

On the contrary, the only thing waiting for the Chinese team is to be eliminated.

The Asahi Shimbun was right.

After suffering an information loss once, Zhu Xie learned from the experience and vowed never to make this kind of mistake of insufficient preparation before a game again.

After Zhu Xie's "thoughtful consideration", he not only shouted the slogan "score a goal, score a point, win a game", but also put forward the promotion strategy of "guaranteing a tie, a small loss, and a big win".

The so-called draw means facing Denmark, which is second in strength in the group, and trying to achieve a draw as much as possible.

Then there was a small loss to the host France, and then a big win over South Africa in the last game.

With 4 points from one win, one draw and one loss, we qualified second in the group.

This plan is indeed a good one.

But I seem to look down on African black brothers a little bit.

This is the World Cup!

Every victory is hard won.

In the face of absolute strength, any tricks are redundant!

...

Before the team bus arrived at the Ferris Borat Stadium, the streets were filled with countless fans waving red flags.

The local French people looked at this rare scene curiously in their houses.

They have never seen so many Chinese people.

According to France Football, approximately 50,000 Chinese fans came to France with the team for this World Cup.

This is the largest population movement in China since the Korean War in 1950.

Looking at the familiar faces of fans outside the window, the national players who were still nervous when they woke up in the morning gradually relaxed their mood.

The capacity of Felix Bolat Stadium is 41,300, and with the tickets sold to local and Danish fans, it is impossible for all these Chinese fans to squeeze in.

Not only that, even the small city of Lens is somewhat overwhelmed.

In the streets and alleys, you can see Chinese fans rushing on their way.

In response, French Bamboo Shoes also issued a public apology before the opening ceremony.

Although it had hosted the World Cup a long time ago, its estimate of the number and purchasing power of Chinese fans was wrong.

For those Chinese fans who have come from afar but have not seen the national football match, French Bamboo Shoes promises to provide these fans with a small gift at their own expense and open some local tourist attractions.

Looking at the crazy Chinese fans on the street, countries that are capable of hosting the World Cup can't help but start to think about it.

If you want to host the World Cup, you really have to come up with several 80,000-seat stadiums!

...

In the locker room, Holden was giving an impassioned speech in front of him, while Zeng Zheng was standing by with his legs crossed, ignoring himself.

translate?

joke!

I was sent here to gild bamboo shoes, not your servant!

Horton was talking above, and the international players in the audience were also whispering.

If you listen carefully, most of them are talking about which pair of sneakers and socks to wear in the first game.

Thanks to the cheers from the fans, the national players also relaxed now.

After getting ready to go, the national players walked out of the locker room one after another.

As soon as they entered the stadium, more than 20,000 Chinese fans stood up quickly, waving props in their hands and shouting the names of each international player.

In the center of the fans, Rossi still wore his iconic cowboy hat and waved a big red flag in his hand.

There are seven words written on the big flag: World Cup, we are coming!

There are also Lao Rong’s family of three.

They had red flags painted on their faces with paintbrushes and held small red flags in their hands, jumping and cheering for the national football team with other fans.

Looking at the stands dyed red by the fans, countless international players felt emotional.

"Hey guys, is this the Golden State Stadium or the Workers' Stadium? Why is it so lively?"

"Tsk, tsk, our fans are the ones who give us the energy!"

Young Huang Jianxiang sat at the commentary table.

Huang Jianxiang relied on his foreign language skills to be able to come to France to give live commentary despite the competition from so many senior people in Taiwan.

His blood was boiling at this moment.

Looking at the time, it won't be long before the domestic broadcast room will receive the satellite signal from him.

As the first commentator to commentate on the National Football World Cup on the spot, Huang Jianxiang's name is destined to be recorded in the history of football along with the national team.

At this time, two teams, one green and one red, slowly walked onto the court.

Since Denmark's home team's jersey is red and white, no matter which one they wear, it matches the color of the Chinese team, so they have to wear an away jersey.

At this time, the signal was also connected. After greeting the domestic fans, Huang Jianxiang hurriedly introduced the situation at the scene.

"...Denmark's first World Cup qualification was in 1986."

"This is the World Cup, and it is Denmark's second time in the World Cup finals."

"We can see that what appears in the center of the screen is Danish star and captain Michel Laudrup, also known as Big Laudrup among fans."

"Beside him is his younger brother Brian Laudrup, also known as Laudrup Jr."

"The two brothers competed in the World Cup together, which is also a good story in the history of the World Cup."

As the two teams lined up on the court, a familiar prelude came from the speakers.

"Thing thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump.

At the same time, regardless of the strange looks from his colleagues around him, Huang Jianxiang immediately took off his headphones and stood up from his seat.

At this moment, the foreigners at the Ferris Borat Stadium were also surprised to find that the Chinese fans who had been cheering for the team like them also stopped talking and stood there with serious expressions.

"Get up, don't want to do it..."

As the loud singing sounded, the solemn March of the Volunteers was played on the World Cup stage for the first time.

More than 20,000 fans at the scene and the 11 national players on the field stood in silence, raised their heads and sang the national anthem.

“What a spectacular sight!”

The French commentator at the scene looked at the grand scene of thousands of people singing with admiration, "Are they all spontaneous?"

"Oh My God!"

"What kind of power allowed them to do all this?"

"Seeing them reminds me of the national anthems of Spain and Argentina, when no one sang along."

Of course the commentator was joking.

The reason why these two national anthems are not sung is not because the players cannot sing them or are not patriotic. The reason is that the former has no lyrics at all, and the latter simply has a too long intro.

The singing was loud and full of battlefield momentum.

Fans from Denmark and other countries stopped talking and looked quietly at the Chinese fans opposite who were singing loudly.

"...forward, forward, forward forward!"

Until the last word was sung, all the international players on the field raised their arms and wiped the tears from their eyes.

Seeing this scene, Zeng Zheng, whose eyes were also red-eyed on the sidelines, also secretly made up his mind.

As long as I am alive, the Chinese team will never miss any World Cup!
