Green Dragon

Chapter 767
Unlike the rules of the UEFA Champions League, there is no draw for the knockout rounds of the World Cup, and the schedule for each round has been determined half a year ago.

As No.1 in Group F, the Chinese team's opponent in the quarter-finals is of course No.2 in Group E, the Swiss team.

Switzerland, with a population of 800 million, is not a traditional strong team, but this does not prevent them from ranking among the best in the FIFA rankings for a long time.

In June 2018, they were sixth in the world, and the five teams ahead of them, in order, were:

Germany, Brazil, Belgium, Portugal, and Argentina.

Being able to rank fourth in the European Division, where there are many strong players, although it cannot fully reflect their strength, it can at least show that in the past one or two years, Switzerland has performed extremely well in the world preliminaries and warm-up matches.

Of course, even so, it’s okay, because the strongest opponent they encountered in the qualifiers was nothing more than Portugal, and the other four were already weakened Hungary, the Faroe Islands, Latvia, and Andorra— —If these three opponents are handed over to Long Shute, they are probably the result of Qixing Lianzhu and Eight Swords flying together...

For China, this is definitely a good sign.

How good is it?
Even if Switzerland ranks sixth in the world, but... even if the Chinese team does not have Long Shute and the current lineup, they may feel that they can open [-]/[-] with the opponent...

Anyway, in the subconscious of most fans, Switzerland is just a small country, and the domestic league is also unknown. How powerful can such a national team be?

July 7, St. Petersburg Stadium.

St. Petersburg, located in the northwest of Russia, is obviously a city at a high latitude. Even in midsummer, its daily average temperature does not exceed 20 degrees. In the afternoon, the sun is slanting west, and the weather around 15 degrees is very suitable for playing football.

For domestic fans, kick-off at 10 p.m. is obviously quite friendly. Most people can accept the regular game time of 45+15+45 minutes. Even if they play for half an hour, it is just over. It's only 12 o'clock, and it will hardly affect the normal life of the next day.

Although Switzerland is a "weak team", this does not affect the number of spectators gathered in front of the TV to watch the game.

In large and small cities, at home, in factories, in bars, in hotels, and in school dormitories, more than [-] million people watched this "strong and weak" duel at the same time!

A sentence from the commentator He Wei says it all:
"In Brazil four years ago, although the Chinese team entered the knockout round, due to the lack of the core soul, Long Shute, the chaotic Chinese team had almost nothing to do in that knockout round.

We will not blindly deify a person, but it is undeniable that in a sense, Long Shute represents the national team. As long as he stands on the field, we have the backbone, and we have Energetic! "
-
Just like most people's cognition, Switzerland is not a traditional football power, and there is only one club in Basel that can do well in the domestic league, but this does not mean that their players are unknown.

Lichtsteiner, Xhaka, Julu, Dzema Yili, Inle, and Behrami are all stars who can play their own roles in European football. At least... they are indeed more famous than the fledgling Chinese players .

But...they met the master of this city today!
"HERO CHEN!"

"GOOOOOOOAL!"

Although Russia has been eliminated from the World Cup, Russian fans still fill the four sides of the stadium.

When Chen Yingxiong scored with a header in the 17th minute of the game, the entire stadium erupted into a roar of mountains and tsunami!

There was even a huge poster floating in the main stand.

Long Shute slightly shook his head:
"MD, what's the technical content of the header? The man before me is much smarter than him when he volleys violently after the ball is scored!"

Chen Yingxiong didn't hear his captain's sour words. He opened his arms and showed off his strong muscles to the local fans in the main stand.

There is a team in St. Petersburg called Zenit, and that is the club where Chen Yingxiong plays for!

At least 80% of the audience who poured into the stadium today are his supporters!
Even if it is the world's number one dragon ball king, he would never want to steal his popularity here! -
"Drip! Drip!"

One after another, sharp whistles pierced the noisy sky.

The atmosphere on the court suddenly became tense.

"You want to die?!"

Chen Yingxiong was pinching the neck of Zhaka, the Swiss midfielder, and sprayed all the saliva on the opponent's face.

Although Xhaka wants to go crazy, his physique is almost like a child who has not grown up in front of the strong Chen Yingxiong...

Not far behind them, Qin Xiong was lying on the turf in pain, and the socks on his ankles were completely torn!

"Zhaka's foul! It's too brutal! If Qin Xiong hadn't reacted quickly, his left foot might have been cut off by the opponent now!"

He Wei frowned.

Zhang Lu sighed:
"When he played for Arsenal, Xhaka was a famous red card player in the Premier League. Now he has come to the World Cup, but he still has no restraint..."
-
"Calm down!"

Long Shute pushed away Chen Yingxiong, who was a few inches taller than him.

Even if Xhaka made a malicious foul, it is obviously absolutely unacceptable for you to strangle the opponent's neck directly.

The referee Rizzoli from Italy strode forward, first gave Xhaka a red card for the injury first, and then showed a yellow card to the emotional Chen Yingxiong.

Since Chen Yingxiong was playing at home, Rizzoli was also booed by the fans because of this penalty...

"Just at the beginning of the first half, the Swiss team was hit hard again! Their midfielder Xhaka was sent off by the referee with a red card because of an unsteady behind-the-back tackle! The Swiss team had to face one less player in more than 40 minutes. What an unfavorable situation to face! And now they... are five goals behind!"

He Wei is not worried about the situation on the court, he is more worried about the players' injuries:

"Qin Xiong was obviously seriously injured. He received treatment for 2 minutes on the sidelines, but he still couldn't continue the game. He could only be replaced by Qin Gude..."
-
The first thing Qin Goode did when he entered the field was to find the captain who was standing in front of the penalty area and was about to take a free kick:

"Brother Long, those assistant coaches asked me to ask you... The overall situation is settled, can you take a break after the game?"

Long Shu raised his eyebrows:

"Surely that's not what they said? Which guy said it?"

Qin Gude smiled awkwardly.

Long Shute snorted and waved his hand at him.

He was standing right behind the football, with no run-up distance at all.

I didn't see how he swung his right leg to accumulate a little strength, as if he was just drinking water, he pumped the ball into the top dead corner of the goal with one kick!
6-0!
-
In the quarter-finals between the Chinese team and the Swiss team, the most active players are undoubtedly three players:

Chinese captain Long Shute performed five blessings, and Chen Yingxiong, who was playing at home, also scored three goals with head kicks.

Shaqiri of the Swiss team scored an unexpected scorpion tail!

Chu Jiang sitting in front of the gate didn't even react!
Because Shaqiri's shot was far outside the penalty area, he was pushed to death by Xiang Tao at that time, and he had no chance to turn around. That shot was flawed no matter how you look at it!

Although he was called "Swiss Messi" when he debuted, Shaqiri, who often kicked shocking shots, is more like the Swedish god Taybrahimovic!
However, this wonderful goal only made the Swiss team look a little better.

Because the final result of this game was a bloody 12-1!

In addition to Long Shute and Chen Yingxiong, Zhang Jun, Chu Zhongtian, Rong Guang, and Qin Gude each completed the task of icing on the cake.

The Chinese team directly knocked the world's sixth-ranked "super team" into hell!
