Frost Shooter of Greenery

Chapter 753 Four Superstars
On May 29th, Qi Ce came to the Xianghe training base and played a warm-up match with the national team. The opponent was Beijing Guoan. Qi Ce's state problem, but noticed Qi Ce's physical fitness. After all, he just finished a fierce Champions League final a week ago.

In the end, relying on the excellent performance of the national football teenagers Chen Chaojie and Wu Lei, the national football team defeated Beijing Guoan 3:1, giving the players some confidence. Chen Chaojie, who is only [-] years old this year and has not yet passed his [-]th birthday, is the biggest surprise of Chinese football this year. It is said that he is the only player other than Qi Ce who has absolute self-confidence. From a mentality point of view, he can be a foreign aid player.

Because whether it is a domestic league player or other overseas players, most of them are assistants. Domestic players play with foreign aid, and overseas players act as a puzzle for the team. They use passing and running to assist the team's core kicks. They dare to take the ball and do their own actions. It is very rare to do it on your own. It should be said that you only choose to do it yourself when you have to, but Chen Chaojie is different.

In Sparta Rotterdam, he played as an attacking midfielder.

This is a position that requires a lot of organization with the ball, breakthroughs with the ball, and even shooting. A formation with an attacking midfielder usually has the attacking midfielder as the eye, at least the key to attack, and it is a very important position.

Chen Chaojie's ability to gain a firm foothold in this position shows that he has absolute ability!

After playing this game, the national football team ushered in the challenge from the African country Morocco three days later. This country located in the northwest of Africa is on the side of the Chinese team's opponent Algeria in the group stage. Both of them have different technical characteristics and team styles. They are very close, and they all have many skilled players with high upper limit but low lower limit. To put it bluntly, they are not stable, but they are afraid of such crazy teams in major cup games.

Morocco, like Algeria, has a large number of players who played in Europe or even were born in Europe. It was in the 60s that countries led by the Netherlands signed labor treaties with North African countries including Morocco and Algeria. A large number of North Africans moved from their hometowns to developed Europe. Working part-time, getting married and having children there, 17 of the [-]-man roster of the Moroccan national team who came to China today were born in Europe, of which the Netherlands has the most, with six.

Facing the highly technical Morocco, the Chinese team had a hard time coping. Qi Ce still did not start the game. In the first half of the game, the Moroccan scored 0:2. Then Qi Ce played in the second half and made a pass to equalize the score. The final score was also maintained at 2:2, and it was difficult to draw with Morocco at home. The fans also cast a shadow on the prospects of the World Cup.

For the last warm-up match, the team chose to play locally in Brazil. In order to find a training partner, the Football Association also had a little blood, and invited Ukraine, who also did not enter the World Cup, to play a game in Brazil with all expenses covered.

This is to adapt the national team to the Brazilian venue and climate in advance, and simulate the Russian game by the way.

There is an inexplicable historical relationship between Ukraine and Russia. They have been separated for hundreds of years. Due to national reasons, sports, especially football, the most popular in Europe, are very similar in style, physical fitness, technical characteristics and so on. are very close.

Of course, Ukraine is still incomparable to Russia in terms of strength. Even after the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1990, this is the third time Russia has participated in the World Cup finals, while Ukraine has only one time, and Russia has never been absent from the European Cup. Ukraine only participated The 2012 European Cup, or because they are the hosts to directly qualify.

In this game, Qi Ce started the game. In the passionate South American continent, Qi Ce did not seem to have much discomfort. The temperature in Brazil is not low, but it is within an acceptable range, and the climate is quite comfortable.

The Chinese team still did not win this game. Qi Ce played for an hour and was replaced. Before being replaced, he scored a goal. The final score was a 1:2 loss to the opponent.

Faced with opponents with similar styles, they can't win, and many domestic fans have finally begun to recognize the reality, and striving for even one victory is the most reasonable goal of the national football team.

One win, one draw and one loss, this is the result of the warm-up match before the World Cup. For the national football team, if this record is put in the World Cup, it will be very good, and there is still a chance to qualify.

But the fact is, facing two weaker opponents with similar styles, the Chinese team failed to win. Can they win in the World Cup?
The only one that won the warm-up match was Beijing Guoan, which has no reference value. It can be said that it is mainly for the team to warm up and gain some confidence, and it is of little reference value.

But in any case, the previous games are over, and the World Cup is coming!
FIFA has also made a look forward to this World Cup. The biggest favorite of this World Cup is the host Brazil. Brazil, which is playing at home, has attracted much attention. This World Cup is also very financially stressful for Brazil. The Brazilian government has no other choice. The reduction of local expenditures and the increase of taxes have actually had a great impact on the country, and there are constant criticisms from all over the country.

In this mood, Brazil's domestic requirements for the team are even higher. If you don't win the championship, you will fail!
In addition, Argentina ranks second in odds. The World Cup held in South America naturally has a natural home court advantage over South American teams. Argentina is also strong, with Messi, Di Maria, Higuain, Tevez, Agui Ronaldo and other super forward Argentina must also be one of the favorites to win the championship.

Next are several European giants, such as the defending champion Spain, the re-emerging Germany, Belgium, which has produced a large number of monster stars, and the last runner-up Netherlands, ranking third to sixth.

As for the Chinese team, the ranking in the top 32 is relatively low, but it doesn't seem to be too low.

The ones with the highest odds are 500 for [-], that is, if they win the championship, they can give you [-] for one dollar, and [-] million for [-]. Of course, this is almost impossible, respectively. , Honduras, Costa Rica and Australia.

The Chinese team is not in this category.

Algeria's odds are [-] to [-], and Cameroon's odds are [-] to [-]. Adding the four brethren at the bottom of the list, they are the top six from the bottom.

The Chinese team is in the middle, even ahead of the American team. The odds of the United States on winning the World Cup are [-] to [-], the same as Nigeria, while the odds of the Chinese team are [-] to [-], and Like Mexico, Greece, and Ghana, the highest among Asian teams is the Japanese team, which pays [-] per one.

In other words, the strength of the Chinese team, at least in the view of the bookmaker, ranks No. 32 to 20 among the 23 teams in the entire world. The Chinese team still has the possibility of competing for qualification.

At least, Algeria has lower odds than the Chinese team. If they can win against Algeria in the group stage, they will have a chance to qualify.

The World Cup is a feast, although it is a waste of time and money to host the World Cup in Brazil, so many people in Brazil have started demonstrations, thinking that the financial resources invested in hosting the World Cup are too much for Brazil to bear. It is at the same level as developed countries, but it still cannot conceal the Brazilian people's love for football.

On the streets of Brazil, you can see children playing football in small open spaces everywhere under the leadership of adults, and you can often see graffiti on the walls, most of which are related to football. Neymar is the name of Brazilian children now My favorite football star, I can often see Neymar's graffiti.

Unlike his high popularity in East Asia, Qi Ce is not a very popular star in South America. Of course, there are many people who like it, but it is far less than in Europe and Asia.

This may be mainly due to Zize's skills. Zize can be said to be a very modern all-round forward, and often has some imaginative performances, but South American fans do not like such imagination.

Brazilian fans like Neymar who has unparalleled skills at his feet or Ronaldinho's freehand style of playing football. Zize bursts out incredible energy in a well-regulated situation. Brazilian fans prefer that kind of freedom. imagination.

In FIFA's official preview, the top stars from the South American duo are also used as the representative figures of the World Cup, while Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo has become the representative figure of the European region. Of course, Zize represents the representative figure of the World Cup. In Asia, FIFA made these four superstars into the promotional photos of the World Cup, announcing to the world that the World Cup in Brazil is coming.

Not long after the match between the national football team and Ukraine, the warm-up matches of all participating teams in the World Cup have ended. The top 32 has both joys and sorrows. For Chinese football, although it is considered a success to reach this stage, it has really reached this stage. Who doesn't want to go one step further!

After winning the Asian Cup, Chinese fans have also raised their own requirements virtually. People are always unsatisfied creatures. With a superstar like Qi Ce, fans always hope to go further, and further, but this is also Qi Ce. requirements for yourself.
