I'm Kaka Kaka

Chapter 412

Three-time World Player of the Year and two-time European Golden Globe winner Ronaldo, two-time World Footballer of the Year and two-time Golden Globe winner Kaka, this year's World Cup Player of the Year Ronaldinho, Serie A champion and Champions League runner-up Adriano, plus the world's number one left back Carlos, Brazil has the best No. 6, No. 7, No. 8, No. 9 and No. 10 in the world.

Even the midfielders who have been criticized in the past, this Brazilian team is also full of talents. Juventus' main defensive midfielder Emerson, Bundesliga overlord's main midfielder Ze Roberto are veterans who participated in the last World Cup, and Falcao, Maicon, Lucio, etc., who just won the quadruple crown with Chelsea, are all superstars that countless giants are desperately chasing.

Even on the bench, the Brazilian team sat on talented players like Real Madrid's new star Robinho and Lyon's core Juninho.

With such a luxurious lineup and such a strong bench depth, many media and fans believe that it is only a matter of time before the Brazilian team defends the Hercules Cup.

Of course, the Brazilian Football Association also thinks so. After the players arrived at the Wiggis training base in Switzerland, the pigheads of the Football Association confidently regarded this powerful and luxurious team as a cash cow, and openly sold the live copyright of the Brazilian team's training to the media.

Behind the expensive copyright fees, every detail of the Brazilian team was exposed to the media's live footage.

The team members not only didn't care, but also showed great enthusiasm under the spotlight.

Complacency permeates everyone in this country.

Even the sudden situation that Edmilson had to withdraw from the World Cup due to a serious right knee injury could not slow down the excitement. On the contrary, this incident reminded some people of Emerson, who was injured before the last World Cup, and was regarded as a harbinger of the upcoming defense of the Brazilian team.

For Brazilian football, the four years from 2002 to 2006 was an absolute golden age. They not only had international superstars such as Kaka, Ronaldo and Ronaldinho, but also a group of young talents who went to Europe from the South American continent to seek gold, such as Robinho.

Cafu's old age, Ronaldinho's fat body, Ronaldinho's sluggish state, Adelaide's sluggish fighting spirit, and Kaka's tired expression were all turned a blind eye.

Everyone is obsessed with the fantasy quartet, preparing for the championship celebration.

Against this background, Pereira led the so-called strongest Brazilian team after 1970 to board the flight to Germany.

德国当地时间6月9日晚18点30分，2006年德国世界杯在慕尼黑的安联体育场拉开序幕，为期一个月的世界杯大赛正式开始。

After various theatrical performances, the opening ceremony gradually reached its climax. On the big screen of the stadium, the captains of the previous World Cup champions holding the trophy were shown.

Bailey entered the arena with Sinve holding the Hercules Cup, came to the stage in the center of the venue, and then raised the trophy that the players dreamed of, causing the audience to cheer.

The following scene was full of emotion. The organizing committee invited 170 players who had won the World Cup trophy to enter the stadium.

Leading the way are representatives of the England team, Bobby Charlton, a member of the 1966 championship team, and others, bringing people's memories to the distant past.

Followed by Desailly, Lizarazu, Zidane, Henry and other members of the French team in 1998, followed by Uruguay's legendary star Schiaffino and the 1978 World Cup top scorer Kempes...

However, regrets always come inadvertently. In the blue-and-white Argentine lineup, people could not find Maradona, who had previously said that he would participate in the opening ceremony.

Lao Ma is currently serving as a guest commentator on Spanish TV 4, and he also explained why he did not attend the opening ceremony.

"What I want to watch is football, not Pele or Beckenbauer. Of course, I will definitely go to Hamburg tomorrow to cheer for the Argentine team."

The words were eloquent, in line with Lao Ma's usual unruly and personality, but Kaka extremely suspected that it was because the Banya people gave too much...

After Argentina, the entrance of the host Germany team caused the audience to burst into the warmest cheers and applause. Familiar faces such as Matthaus, Wöhler, and Bremer appeared in people's sight.

The last entry is the eternal protagonist of the World Cup and the biggest favorite of this competition: five-star Brazil.

The ball king Pele returned to the parade, and Jairzinho, Leonardo, Ronaldo, Rivaldo and others entered the field one after another.

Most of the representatives of other teams have retired or even entered their octogenarian years. Only the Brazil team, which won the championship last year, has a group of active players in their prime. The youngest Kaka is only 24 years old, which is too dazzling in the crowd.

Naturally, the camera turned on Kaka fiercely, wanting to show every hair on his face clearly in front of the camera. Fortunately, the face that has overdrawn the 100-year-old beauty of Brazilian football can indeed be played, and it has withstood the test of all close-ups.

After waves of uproar, the stadium returned to calm.

Accompanied by FIFA President Sepp Blatter and World Cup Organizing Committee Chairman Beckenbauer, German President Koehler announced the opening of the 2006 World Cup.

The World Cup returns to Germany after 32 years.

Nearly 32 years ago, also in Munich, the Federal Republic of Germany won the 10th World Cup. The Germans hope to replicate history and once again lift the Hercules Cup on their own land.

According to reports, in addition to the 6.5 fans at the scene, 200 billion people in more than 15 countries watched the live broadcast of the opening game on TV.

This is also the first time since 1970 that the host has participated in the opening game. The last time the German team participated in the opening game was in 1994. They defeated Bolivia 1-0 as the defending champions. The current coach Klinsmann scored the only goal.

Before the kick-off, there was a minute of silence in the stadium to commemorate the former Brazil coach Santana who passed away this year, the legendary Irish star George Best and other former football stars.

Defender Lahm scored his first goal in the World Cup in just six minutes, but Costa Rica's record scorer Wanchope soon equalized.

Since then, Klose, the silver boot winner of the last World Cup, celebrated his 28th birthday with two goals.

Wanchope then broke through the door of the German team again and scored twice, but unfortunately he still failed to bring the team a victory.

With Frings' wonderful long-range shot to seal the victory, the German team defeated Costa Rica 4-2, maintaining the unbeaten record of participating in the opening game of 4 times, and creating the record for the most goals in the opening game of the World Cup.

In the next two days, the results of the first two rounds of each group were released.

Except for France's 0-0 draw with Switzerland, which once again made people laugh out loud, the other major powerhouses have won one after another.

England 1-0 Paraguay, Argentina 2-1 Côte d'Ivoire, Netherlands 1-0 Serbia and Montenegro, Portugal 1-0 Agra, Italy 2-0 Ghana, etc. Although the process was difficult and most of them won by small scores, the results were basically expected.

With Australia's 3-0 victory over Japan, the second game in Group F was finally long overdue.

Brazil VS Croatia.

In the midst of all the attention, the old coach Pereira unexpectedly hid the captain Cafu and sent Maicon, who has been in the limelight this season.

The captain's armband was worn on the arm of vice-captain Kaka.

As expected.
