The strongest winger

Chapter 1067
Although many players in the Chinese team have overlaps with Uruguayan players, and the strength of the two sides is very different, the game is likely to be friendly, but Uruguay has struggled to qualify from the group stage and the game has reached the semi-final stage, so no one wants to give up hope of advancing to the final.

Even if Cavani and Godin are well aware of the horror of Ai Luo, they all want to try it, after all, there is no guarantee that a bet will be lost...

Previously, they were purely greeting each other on social networks, which is the so-called courtesy first and soldiers later.

The rest period between the end of the third round of the group and the start of the semi-finals is only a short three days. This requires a lot of physical fitness from both sides of the competition. However, the Chinese team has already confirmed their qualification two rounds ahead of the group stage and is locked in the first place in the group. The third round is purely for training the team.

Guardiola put those players who meet the playing conditions and need more game running-in in the third round against Mexico, so that more players can be rested.

After all, the schedule of cup games is often very dense. It is difficult to get to the end with a single lineup, so this is a test of the head coach's rotation skills and whether he can stabilize the team's performance in the dense schedule.

Obviously, is Guardiola such a head coach? His rotation tactics are very successful, so he beat Mexico in the third round, thus creating the latest unanimous victory of the Chinese team in the Confederations Cup group stage.

China VS Uruguay, Brazil VS Spain, in terms of the degree of attention, Brazil VS Spain is undoubtedly more attractive. After all, the two teams are well-known internationally and belong to the highest level of the football food chain.

The current Chinese team has a strong upward momentum and has reached a high level of strength, but Uruguay's finishing strength is inferior to that of the Chinese team, so it has not attracted as much attention as the semi-finals of Brazil and Spain.

The semi-finals between China and Uruguay will be before the semi-finals between Brazil and Spain. The game time will start at 27:[-] pm on the [-]th local time in Brazil, which is [-]:[-] am in BJ time.

To be honest, this time point is not a suitable time for Chinese fans to watch football, but this game has not affected the enthusiasm of Chinese fans to watch football, even if there is a high-intensity work waiting for office workers the next day...

Of course, there are also some conscientious companies who know that this national team game kicked off in the early morning of BJ time is to adjust the working hours of employees, temporarily adjusting the working hours from [-] to [-] to [-] to [-] in the afternoon.

And those workers who have not adjusted their temporary working hours can only grit their teeth and persist. After all, most of the high-level competitions are played late at night, and they have already made sufficient preparations.

Uruguay is very close to Brazil, so there were many fans pouring into the Mineiro Stadium on the day of the semi-final.

However, the Chinese have a large population base, and there are many citizens or ethnic Chinese from all over the world.

In addition, with the improvement of the living standard of the Chinese people and more and more money in their pockets, they naturally want to satisfy a deeper level of spiritual satisfaction in the case of material satisfaction. Therefore, in this Confederations Cup semi-final with the participation of the Chinese team, the number of fans entering the stadium to cheer and cheer is bound to be large.

In terms of the number of fans alone, Chinese fans are more dominant. There are even many fans who have booked early tickets for the Confederations Cup final at the legendary Brazilian stadium Maracana...

※※※

The 2013 Brazil Confederations Cup final at the Mineiro Arena was packed, but from the perspective of the stadium camera, the Chinese fans wearing red jerseys far outnumbered the Uruguayan fans wearing sky blue jerseys. Excluding the Brazilian fans who like to watch the Chinese team play, Chinese fans accounted for nearly half of the stadium.

In other words, nearly [-] Chinese fans poured into the Mineiro Arena, which can accommodate [-] fans. This number is almost like a local battle...

However, Uruguayan fans are very enthusiastic, and the momentum of more than 1 Uruguayan fans did not fall behind at all.

If Uruguay wants to beat the Chinese team in this game, they must rely on goalkeeper Muslera, center back Godin and forwards Cavani and Suarez.

Especially for the latter three, Godin was the best central defender in world football in 2011 and 2012, while Cavani and Suarez scored more than 2012 goals in all competitions throughout the 2013-[-] season, which is a force to be reckoned with.

Coupled with the assistance of veteran Diego Forlan, the two young and promising strikers will receive greater assistance to break through the goal guarded by the Chinese team.

In addition, in the warm-up match before the London Olympics in 2012, the combination of Cavani and Suarez, who were overage players at the time, both broke the goal of the Chinese Olympic team. At that time, the Chinese Olympic team had Feng Xiaoting and Wang Xiaolei in their defense.

This shows how terrifying the striker combination of Cavani and Suarez is.

In the match between the Chinese team and Uruguay, the two sides naturally offered the strongest lineup, but what is surprising is that Uruguay is different from other teams that have confronted the Chinese team. They did not choose relatively conservative defensive counterattack tactics.

Instead, the aggressive four-three-three formation was discharged. The three strikers were Cavani, Suarez and Diego Forlan.

Countless people looked at the starting lineup given by Uruguay, and gave high thumbs up one after another, praising Uruguay for its blood!
Knowing that the attack group of the Chinese team is very terrifying, but did not choose a relatively safe counterattack, I would rather die standing than live on my knees.

In the words of Sky TV commentator Martin Taylor: "Uruguay's courage is commendable. It is much better than the hosts Brazil, Italy and Mexico that the Chinese team encountered in this Confederations Cup. I believe this game will be a soul-stirring and exciting battle."

And the next game was indeed as predicted by Martin Taylor. Under the continuous high cheers from the stands, the two sides played very proactively, holding high the banner of offense, and did not compress the living space of the opponent's offensive players at all. What the fans saw was an open attack where you come and go.

This style of play is extremely exciting and entertaining for neutral fans, but for fans on both sides of the game, every second is terrified, and even the heart hangs in their throats all the time, and they don't know which second will jump out because of too much excitement...

Of course, it is basically Uruguayan fans who have this mentality.

After all, in terms of strength, the Chinese team is stronger. If Uruguay wants to win, it must get the mercy of God, otherwise it is impossible to talk about winning.

However, what surprised them was...God was really on their side. Cavani overwhelmed Feng Xiaoting in a goal grab and headed the ball into the goal guarded by club teammate Wang Xiaolei.
