Chapter 749 No longer a sacrificial chicken

The world's three major religions. Taoism is not, Taoism is native to China, because it is too high-minded and cannot even compete with these three in China.

The three major religions have a long history and a wide range of influence. They have penetrated into every corner of the world and influenced local culture, as well as architectural styles.

Due to its geographical location and historical opportunities, Kazan, the capital of the Russian Tatar Republic, has become one of the only two cities in the world that brings together three major religious architectural styles. The three major religious civilizations coexist harmoniously here.

The other is Kashgar in China.

The first match of the Chinese team's World Cup group stage was held in Kazan. When Zhuo Yang and the team arrived here, there were still six days before the first match against France.

The Mongols built Kazan into a walled city. Nine hundred years ago, one of Temujin's "Four Mastiff Generals", Subotai, General Zhebie, and the Golden Sword Consort Guo Jing, led the Mongolian cavalry to fight all the way from here. In Ukraine, they defeated the 100,000-strong Russian and Kipchak coalition forces and captured more than a dozen dukes and drove them to death on wheels.

Nine hundred years later, Kazan is the eighth largest city in Russia, an important hub connecting Central Asia, the Caucasus and eastern Russia.

Zhuoyang had been to Kazan before, and he had also been here in his dream. At that time, Guo Jing's great ancestor, Guo Ziyi, a famous general in the late Tang Dynasty, had not yet been born. Earlier than this, they were in the 2nd Champions League group stage, against Kazan Red Diamonds.

Nine years later, the then crude Kazan Central Stadium was bulldozed and rebuilt, turning it into the now stylish Kazan Athletic Stadium, like a lotus flower.

The Chinese team has arrived in Kazan, but France has not yet arrived. Scar and his Gallic Black Roosters will not leave until they play against the US team at the Stade de France. That is their last warm-up game before the World Cup.

France's previous two warm-up matches were 2:0 against Ireland and 3:1 against Italy, showing their good form.

The Chinese team also played two games in a row, 4:2 Chile and 2:2 Germany, but it is not over yet and there is still one last game in Kazan.

In the warm-up and final match before a big match for a strong team, they all like to find a weak team to sacrifice their swords to. The meaning is similar to that of a bandit bleeding an innocent chicken before going down the mountain to rob.

In the past, the Chinese team was almost like a chicken, and they were often asked to go out and sacrificed.

But at that time, the Chinese team was not strong enough, but its life was very tough. A single blow would often splash blood on someone's face.

1 In the last warm-up match before the expedition, South Korea took a liking to the Chinese team, which was 'phobic of South Korea'.

Since they were going to France the next day, the Seoul Stadium held a grand "departure ceremony" for the Korean football team, which deeply stimulated the Chinese "Huo Jiajun" who was nothing.

No one remembers the 1:1 score in that game, but goalkeeper Jiang Jin made a sliding tackle that directly caused South Korea's top center and even Asia's number one forward Huang Shanhong to have his knees swollen as big as a sand bowl. It was a memorable moment.

Huang Shanhong cried all the way from Seoul Stadium to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Seoul Medical College, and then cried at home until the end of the World Cup group stage.

The 50-year-old Huang Shanhong is the best head coach in the K-League. The 50-year-old gray-haired Jiang Jin was released from prison three years ago at the end of 2015. He doesn’t know what he is doing now, but his brother Jiang Hong is a figure in Xi’an night market circles. You can swipe your face for free.

In the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan, Milu's national team was also successful, but it was still an underdog. This time it was Portugal, the "last battle of the golden generation," who came to seek satisfaction.

In the warm-up match in Macau, the national team did not waste anyone. Nuno Gomez and Pauleta's goals easily defeated Mi Jiajun 2:0, and then everyone went to South Korea together.

It doesn’t matter to the Chinese team. Whoever lost three games in the World Cup is not a loser.

Jiang Jin also said before the game, ‘I will attack Rivaldo just like I attacked Huang Shanhong four years ago’.

He threw a hammer!

However, Portugal, which ranks fifth in the world, lost consecutive games to the United States and South Korea in the group stage. After ranking third, it also went home. It was so unlucky.

In Portugal, Italy, and Spain, the Koreans were as good as Xishan Mei and refused to let the black Li Kui. Portugal took the first blow from the "Han Sanhei". Of course, this may not have anything to do with the lack of guarantees and the previous sacrifice of swords by the Chinese team.

Although the 17-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo was not a national football player and was not yet a green green onion, he could already remember things, so he still doesn't like to see Koreans very much, but he can have a few drinks with Chinese people when he is free.

Another four years later, two people invited the Chinese sacrificial knife chicken.

The first match was only six days away, and the French were so full that they invited the Chinese team to Saint-Etienne. The score of 3:1 is not important. It is not important that Zhu Guanghu's favorite Wang Yun scored an own goal to help France. Zheng Zhi kicked the calf bone of Ligue 1 striker Wang Cisse. It is an unforgettable memory.

That game was 12 years ago today.

Twelve years later, the 37-year-old Djibril Cisse retired for two years and came back to recuperate in the Swiss third-tier league. The 38-year-old Zheng Zhi is the vice-captain of the Chinese national team. He is clean and honest, and he is as courageous as ever. I hope the French will think of Cisse when they see him in six days.

Another four years later, before the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, the French, who cared more about food than fighting, came to visit the Chinese team again. The two sides enjoyed both elegance and taste on the beautiful moon-like island of Reunion.

This story already belongs to the football history of "Golden Green". Deng Shuxiang's fallen leaves defeated France 1:0. Not only did the French reverse their roles and become the chickens sacrificed, but it also caused them to have internal strife and indirectly triggered the World Cup. During the 'training strike' controversy.

At that time, France scored only one goal in three group matches, lost two and drew one, finishing last in the group. Scar scored all the goals in the French team's trip to South Africa. So far, no one is worried about this matter.

Four years ago, in the 2014 World Cup, Brazil, the blind host, blindly found the Chinese team. As a result, Zhuoyang was absent due to injury, which made them light up the sky lanterns at 8:0 in Recife. The most disastrous defeat in the history of the Chinese team still weighs on Zhuo Yang's heart.

At that time, Kaka, a non-international player, said to the international players: I am going to misfortune you. As a result, Brazil's character was indeed damaged. The 1:7 loss to Germany can suppress the hearts of a generation.

In short, no one who tried to seek good fortune from the Chinese team in the last warm-up before the World Cup ended well.

Now Zhuo Yang's Chinese team is already a strong team and has completely lost its qualifications as a sacrificial chicken. There is no one who has not yet opened up and wants to find the Chinese team to play "the hottest game".

The German team is not. After their 2:2 match with China, they have a warm-up match with Saudi Arabia. The Saudis are the sacrificial chicken that the Germans like.

France turned to the United States, Spain to Tunisia, Argentina to Israel, Brazil to Austria, England to Costa Rica, Portugal to Algeria, Belgium to Egypt...

There are no popular teams looking for trouble for the Chinese team. On the contrary, the Chinese team, which has become a strong team, is finally qualified to find a sacrificial chicken in the "hottest game".

Finding a weak team to score a few goals in the last game before the big game can boost the team's confidence and stimulate their state, as long as they don't overplay it, or don't encounter the fateful Gusha like the Chinese team before.

If Zhuo Yang and the Chinese team are not looking for him, then they will find him. They have to be an authentic weak team, and it is best to be so weak that even his own mother is embarrassed to recognize him.

So, the Chinese team found Koko’s natal team, Liechtenstein.
