Champion’s Heart

The Chinese team did not finish the game because they still have their own game. After the first half, they also left the meeting room and were ready to take the car to the game venue.

The hotel entrance was crowded with reporters and fans. Seeing the Chinese team players coming out, the fans waved national flags and scarves to cheer them on.

Although Zhou Yi could not play, but everyone supported the national team as a whole, not a certain player.

Even if there is no Zhou Yi, the chance of victory is reduced, everyone still hopes to win in the Chinese team.

After all, in this group, perhaps the weakest is Chile...

Everyone hopes that the Chinese team can beat Chile and start a good start for the second World Cup journey in history.

This is quite similar to the last time the Chinese team participated in the World Cup.

At that time, the Chinese team's first game was in the group stage except for the weakest Costa Rica in the Chinese team. Before the game, many Chinese fans and media longed for the Chinese team to defeat Costa Rica to score the first point and first goal in the history of the World Cup and the first victory for Chinese football.

Zhou Yi waved to everyone before getting on the bus.

Although he can't play, he will still go with the team and sit on the bench. In this way, he and the team are always together.

In the Chinese team's just announced starting list, Zhou Yi is not among them. Everyone knows that Zhou Yi can't play this game...

When the Chinese team set out for the stadium, the second half of the Netherlands and Spain also began.

The process and scores in the first half made everyone think that this was a close match, and when it came to the second half, the situation changed suddenly.

In the fifty-third minute Robben received a pass from Blind, then pulled Pique, and then hurried to the left foot before Casillas blocked the ball. The football passed Casillas' ten fingers and entered. The goal is 2:1!

In the sixty-fifth minute, the Dutch free kick from the left hung into the penalty area. Van Persie struggled for the header and Casillas collided, allowing the Dutch player Devery who was ambushed at the far post to catch the opportunity. He was at the back post Push the football into the goal. For this ball, he even hit the goal post. The Netherlands also leads Spain 3-1.

In the 73rd minute, the Dutch team scored again. This time it was Casillas' own mistake. When he stopped the ball, he accidentally stopped the football. Van Persie rushed to break the ball and hit the empty goal. The Dutch team 4:1!

In the 80th minute, the Dutch team played a classic counterattack. Robben sprinted 60 meters at the full speed and rushed into the right side of the penalty area. He first used a turn to gently shake Casillas' center of gravity, and then He also used several pauses to get rid of Casillas' tenacious blockade. He volleyed his left foot near the penalty spot and the football flew into the goal. The Dutch team led Spain 5-1.

So far the game is over.

The news soon reached the Chinese team. At this time, everyone had arrived at the stadium and took a rest in the locker room.

After hearing the news, there was a silence in the dressing room.

This is their opponent in the same group, before they thought that Spain is the most difficult to deal with, now it seems that the Netherlands is the big boss.

It's really a group of death. Even the champion of the last World Cup Spain was so embarrassed...

In a silence, Zhou Yi's voice broke the silence first: "Well, a bad news, a good news."

Everyone looked up at him suspiciously, not understanding why he said that.

Zhou Yi raised a finger: "Bad news, the Netherlands is powerful beyond imagination." Then he raised another finger. "The good news is that the defending champion is a paper tiger. In our last match against Spain, we have a great chance of winning."

Zhou Yi has thought about the last game, but the rest of the national team can't think of it that far, and the game against Chile is their most important.

They are about to usher in this World Cup game, which is the first World Cup game for all of them.

The oldest Zheng Zhi in this team is also the first time to participate in the World Cup. This is a very young and inexperienced team.

This group situation, coupled with Zhou Yi's absence, really made many Chinese fans look forward to and worried.

The expectation is that in addition to Zhou Yi, there are five other players who have performed well during their stay in Europe. Whether they can make up for the impact of Zhou Yi's absence on the national team is very curious.

When the national team players went out to warm up, Zhou Yi also went out, but he did not play, but watched on the sidelines.

Next to him, stood the head coach Lippi.

Lippi, like him, is closely watching the warm-up Chinese players on the court.

Then suddenly, without looking away, he asked: "How do you think we can get out of this group?"

"Of course, the first two group matches were won." Zhou Yi also looked at the stadium intently. "Just kidding, if you can win, everyone wants to. But calmly and rationally, we can hardly win the Dutch team. Our only advantage is that we hope that the Dutch team will look down on us and have a slight enemy sentiment towards us.

Zhou Yi covered his mouth and told his ideas to Lippi.

"So the first game against Chile is very important, we must win, we will have a higher chance of qualifying. But Chile must also think so..." Zhou Yi continued. "Both of our teams want to qualify, so the first game must be won, and whoever loses the next game will be difficult to play..."

※※※

Both players are warming up on the court, and Chilean coach Sambali also stands on the sidelines, but he does not pay much attention to his players, but keeps his eyes on the Chinese team.

He saw Zhou Yi standing on the sidelines with arms folded.

Before the game, all the news said that Zhou Yi will be determined to miss the first two games of the group stage. Now it seems that this is not a Chinese smoke bomb, but a fact.

He was fortunate that when the match was arranged, Chile met the Chinese team in the first group match, not the last one. If Zhou Yijian is healthy, Sang Baoli is not sure whether his team can beat the Chinese team.

But without Zhou Yi, the Chinese team is just a mess.

Sang Baoli is very sure of this. In his view, Zhou Yi's injury absence has had the biggest impact on the Chinese team's tactics, not the biggest. The biggest is psychological. He studied the Chinese team carefully and knew that Zhou Yi played a decisive role in this Chinese team, not only on the court, but also in the locker room.

His existence is the Chinese team's Dinghai Shenzhen. He can let other Chinese players play better on the court.

Conversely, when he is away, many Chinese players may lose confidence and perform worse than before.

Especially when they encounter difficulties in the game, this team will definitely crash soon. And if Zhou Yi is here, it should be able to stabilize the situation.

Therefore, Zhou Yi's absence may affect the Chinese team more than they thought...

There are still many opinions about Zhou Yi's injury in the Champions League final. Some people accused Carvajal, but some criticized Zhou Yi for being too sticky at the last minute. If he kicked the football big foot in time, nothing would happen.

Sang Pauli did not want to be involved in this kind of argument. He just wanted to thank God for hurting his opponent's most important player before the World Cup.

Chile was not the dominant team in this group.

But now his mind is alive.

In another game of the group that just ended, the defending champion lost a little unexpectedly to the Netherlands with a score of 1:5, and also exposed the weak constitution of the defending champion's seemingly strong appearance.

Coupled with Zhou Yi's injury absence, this gave Chile a chance. First of all, Chile will defeat the Chinese team in the first group match, and then beat Spain in the second match, then the last game against the Netherlands will be insignificant, and they will get the group qualifying right.

"...I don't know if Chile will despise us, but they definitely want to beat us, they may be more aggressive in the game, hoping to score as soon as possible. After all, if we are slowly working with us, in fact We are in favor-haven't there been many media that said that the Chinese team and Chile's game, should we strive for a draw? So Chile will take the initiative to attack, then we can fight their counterattack. We have the ability to fight back... That's what I thought."

After quietly listening to Zhou Yi's story without interrupting Lippi, he nodded and said to Zhou Yi: "You know, Zhou Yi. After the news that I took over to coach the Chinese team was revealed, I received Klopp Call from."

Zhou Yi turned his head to Lippi in surprise: "Juergen Klopp?"

"Who else besides him? Dortmund's head coach." Lippi laughed. "He gave me a suggestion. He said that if I want to coach the Chinese team with less effort~www.wuxiahere.com~ It’s better to talk to you more and ask your opinions and opinions. He also said that this is his So being able to coach Dortmund's secret of winning so many championships. Now it seems that it really is his secret..."

Zhou Yi scratched his head, and he did often exchange ideas with Klopp about the game. He didn't need to be humble in this regard.

After the warm-up, both teams returned to their locker rooms.

Lippi showed a serious expression to the Chinese team players wearing white jerseys: "This is our first World Cup group game, put aside the messy'meaning'. This game is very simple, our goal There is only one-that is victory. Defensive counterattack is our magic weapon for winning. Be patient when defending. Don’t panic. The defender must be decisive in handling the ball..."

Sang Baoli stood in the middle of the locker room, turned around to look around his players, and waved his fists: "Their core is not on the court, as long as we can cause trouble to them, they will lose their calm and crash. So from the beginning of the game Keep putting pressure on their goals! Remember! Pressure starts from the first second of the game!"
