Chapter 584 : The World Cup kicks off!
For all kinds of strong digging by the reporters, the club and the players are tight-lipped.Of course, the players actually don’t know who it is, they only know that the club has really changed owners, and the new owner is not bad, at least he has settled the arrears for the former owner for three months before they met. salary.

For now, the focus of the media is on the upcoming World Cup.They focused on the construction of the stadium in Brazil, the rehearsal of the guests at the opening ceremony, and the situation in each country.

Therefore, there is really not much time to report on a team in the Chinese First Division League that is still facing relegation problems. Even the Chinese media have no more to follow after they have roughly reported some.

The only ones that were excavated were the local media in Chengdu and Sichuan.

When Li Zihan arrived at JFK International Airport in New York, Susan told Li Zihan when she came to pick him up and back to the hotel that a new contract with Procter & Gamble had been signed, and Procter & Gamble agreed to pay Li Zihan an annual endorsement fee of 320 million pounds.

It is really not expensive to sign the current Li Zihan for more than 300 million pounds. Considering the huge market consumption power behind him and Li Zihan's current hot state, it is definitely worth the money.

Li Zihan signed a contract with P&G the next day, and his endorsement fee has doubled every year since then. Of course, there are additional terms, which are the same as the contracts with Puma and Red Bull.

Without Li Zihan's knowledge, the person in charge of the contract negotiation with Li Zihan from Procter & Gamble scolded Puma all over the place, okay, what additional terms are there?
After staying in the United States for two days, Li Zihan had no time to go to the back garden of Canada to enjoy the beauty of the Northern Lights, so he immediately set off for South America.

At this time, there is only one day before the opening of the World Cup in Brazil.

Li Zihan already had plans to go to the World Cup, so he turned down many business activities during this period.For example, the BBC, a British radio and television station, once contacted Li Zihan, hoping to serve as a special football commentator for the BBC during the World Cup.

But Li Zihan refused. Although 100 million pounds is definitely not a small price for Li Zihan who already has a club to support, he still wants to experience the charm of the World Cup on the spot. This is a story about football. Carnival feast.

On June [-], the opening ceremony of the World Cup officially began.

Li Zihan watched the opening ceremony together with famous Sichuan football players Wang Maojun, Yao Xia, Ma Mingyu and Wei Qun, as well as his business friend John Dassler, the young owner of Puma Group, and the head of Red Bull Group's sports department.

For the opening program, this time it was the theme song "We Are Family" sung by hip-hop bulldog Armando Christian Perez and famous actress Jennifer Lopez.Li Zihan feels very lively, a good visual feast, oh, especially those Brazilian girls with sexy and revealing clothes.
But for singing, Li Zihan thinks that Pique's wife Shakira sings well.

After a series of programs, the opening game officially began.

The opening match of this World Cup is between the host Brazil and Croatia. Brazil is known as the kingdom of football, and its strength is naturally top-notch.But Croatia, as the main country of the former Yugoslavia, their strength should not be underestimated, especially their midfielder Modric, as the midfield engine of Real Madrid, Modric, who is called the "Silver Horn King" by Chinese fans, is Croatia. absolute core.

There are also central defender Lovren who has performed well in Southampton this season, Inter Milan's talented midfielder Kovacic and Bayern Munich's center Manju Kic.

As for this Croatian, it is recognized that they are a good spoiler.

And the beginning of the game also seems to confirm this point. Faced with Brazil's pressing attack, Croatia was not anxious at all, but took the opportunity to hit a quick counterattack from Brazil.

Facing Modric's pass, Marcelo stretched out his foot in a hurry to stop the pass sent to the main center Manju Kic when he chased back, but his sliding tackle sent the ball straight to the center. A straight shovel shot into his own goal.

At this point, Brazil's first goal in the World Cup was born, but what is embarrassing is that it was Brazil's own goal.Marcelo was pulled up from the lawn by captain Thiago Silva, with his hands on his hips and a look of helplessness and bitterness on his face.

The commentators of the major TVs did not put Marcelo at this time, and mocked the main left back of Real Madrid to their heart's content.

Among them, the commentator from the BBC said: "This is completely a cooperation of the Real Madrid team. The midfielder Modric from Real Madrid passed the ball, and the left back Marcelo who quickly inserted the knife followed up and scored the goal. , A very beautiful coordinated attack."

Marcelo's own goal made the Croatians see hope, and made the fans who supported Brazil very worried.Because the game lasted 1 minutes, although the Brazilian team had the advantage but did not score this time, oh. Jin scored a goal, but it was an own goal.

Then Fred, the No. [-] center on my side, forget it, let’s talk about Brazil’s talented attacking midfielders Neymar and Oscar.
When the game progressed to 27 minutes of the game, the Brazilian team still failed to equalize the score. Instead, they made another counter-robber. Neymar fouled and was shown a yellow card.

Just when everyone thought that Neymar was like this, with high expectations but his performance was very average, and even when he was still anxious when he was behind, Neymar went crazy.

He crossed the Croatian defense alone and then directly scored the football.Brazil finally equalized the score, and the fans at the Sao Paulo Stadium were reveling. Most of the people who came to this stadium to watch the game supported the home team Brazil, except of course the opponents of the Brazil team.
The credit for this goal should be credited to Oscar. It was his pressing and interception that gave Neymar a good chance to score.

Encouraged by this goal, Brazil began to press the attack.However, Croatia retreated across the board and did not give Brazil a chance.

In the end, the two sides entered the intermission with a score of one to one. After a quarter of an hour, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Brazil, as the host, naturally carried out an active attack unceremoniously, and the attack lasted for nearly 10 minutes.The Croatian finally began to show signs of being unable to hold on. In the 606th minute, Croatian defender Joel Luka received a yellow card for a foul.

Then just after these 3 minutes, Lovren, the main central defender who had high hopes from Croatia, also received a yellow card. This was a tactical foul.

But in the first half, the Croatian team didn't have a single yellow card, but within 3 minutes they got two consecutive yellow cards.

"It seems that the Croats can't hold on any longer," Zhan Jun said.

Facts have proved that Zhan Jun is still very discerning. In the No.701 minute of the game, that is, 3 minutes after Lovren received a yellow card, Neymar scored again.

Neymar scored twice to help the Brazilian team achieve a go-ahead, which also made everyone full of hope for Neymar again, thinking that this year's Brazilian genius still lived up to expectations.

Although in the second half when the offense couldn't start, Brazil coach Scolari replaced the main center Fred wearing the No. [-] jersey and replaced him with a new center Ruo.

But the center forward also didn't seize the opportunity, and his performance was just like his name-"weak"!
"If it's still really weak," even Zhan Jun couldn't help complaining.

"I suddenly miss Fred," said the Brazilian commentator.

If his performance is not as good as Fred's, at least the tall Fred can help the team withstand the opponent's central defender and create opportunities for Oscar and Neymar behind him.

Brazil, which leads [-] to [-], did not play conservative football. As the Brazilian team, defense is not what they are good at, and the Brazilians' pride in football does not allow them to play defensive football.

So Scolari made his second substitution of the game. He removed William, who was not performing well, and replaced him with striker Hulk, who performed well in Zenit St. Petersburg in the Russian Super League.

This outstanding young guy is as strong as a calf. Everyone thought he was going up to fill the vacancy left by Fred's center forward, because if his performance was really bad, there would be no support behind him. The ability of teammates to play the ball with their backs.

But what is unexpected is that after the "Hulk" Hulk came up, he did not go to the center position, but went to the winger, and occasionally went to the middle to play soy sauce.

The trailing Croatia started a counterattack in the No. 80 minute, and they wanted to score a goal in the last 10 minutes to equalize the score.Facing the hosts Brazil in the group stage, their ability to score a point is a victory in itself for the Croatians.

However, the Brazilians like them like this. Perhaps Croatia can't do anything about them if they passively defend against Brazil. If they press up and attack them. This is what the Brazilians want to see.

The two sides staged a confrontation in the last 10 minutes, but Brazil dominated most of the time.When the game reached the No.808 minute of the game, the Croatian also gave up, holding the idea of ​​​​losing less and winning more.

After all, no matter how you attack, you can't open Brazil's goal, and you were almost scored by the opponent, so the Croatian gave up.

It was only too late, when the game entered the first minute of 3 minutes of stoppage time.Oscar put on a brilliant performance as he was rewarded by Neymar in the penalty area and scored the ball.

The Brazilian team overtook again, [-] to [-], and the Brazilians sealed the victory.

The Brazilian fans in the audience began to celebrate passionately. The Brazilian team won the World Cup [-]-[-] and won the game without any risk.

In such an important event, three points are the most important!
