Football irons are burning

278 Good start
The Chinese team's first match was against Costa Rica in Gwangju on June 6.

There is still some time to adjust the lineup, the wounded are working hard to recover, and the main lineup is trying to adjust as much as possible.

And this time and space, that is, the opponent of Costa Rica looks up to the Chinese team. In the 98 World Cup, the Chinese team was the top eight, and the status of the two teams was very different.

Costa Rica has created brilliance in the past. They once reached the round of 90 in the World Cup in 16. The head coach at that time was Milu.

Although they have entered the World Cup again, their strength is still far behind that of the Chinese team. The Central and North American teams have good skills and a relatively tough style of play. However, the Chinese team is not afraid of such a team. Teams such as Iran, Australia, and Uzbekistan have all been rubbed on the ground by the Chinese team?The strength of Costa Rica is similar to these teams.

Li Tie alone in the Chinese team is worth as much as the entire Costa Rica team, and this comparison makes the opponent even weaker.

Although football is not so comparable, but in the media, no one is optimistic about the Costa Rica team.

Coupled with the fact that their number one star Wanchope was also injured in the past season, it is not certain whether they can catch up with the World Cup opener now.

This makes the media quite optimistic about the first game of the national football team.

Gazzetta dello Sport: Li Tie beats the entire Costa Rica team alone, and he will lead the Chinese team to an easy victory.

Marca: The strength of the Chinese team exceeds that of Costa Rica too much, and it is almost a foregone conclusion that the North American team will be at the bottom of the group.

The Times: The Chinese team is grouped well, they just need to be careful about Turkey.

Sports: The Chinese team has already booked 3 points in the first game, and there is no suspense for a good start!

The well-known Bei Crow once again made a divine prediction. He believes that the chances of the Brazilian team and the Chinese team to win the championship are equal, and it is difficult for other teams to come close!
Whoever this guy predicts will be unlucky, which also makes Brazilian and Chinese fans very dissatisfied with him.

Some gambling companies have also identified the Chinese team as the favorite to win the championship. After all, the double footballer leads the Chinese team, and they all feel that they are in control.

However, Li Tie knows that in another time and space, this World Cup is constantly underpopular, and there are many unpopular teams in the quarterfinals, such as Senegal, South Korea, and the United States.

Of course, regardless of some factors, the World Cup in that time and space was somewhat unfair.

However, it's better not to buy lottery tickets, it's okay to play, if you get all your wealth into it, it's not worth it.

Who knows if something will happen this time?
On May 5, the opening game of the World Cup will start, the defending champion France team will face the African team Senegal!
The result of the game is astonishing!
The French team lacked the number one star Zinedine Zidane and finally lost to Senegal 0:1. Diouf scored the only goal of the game, while the French team had 28 shots and none of them hit. The teenager Ribery was sent off after receiving a red card in the 59th minute of the second half!

The defending champion lost, this is definitely big news, and the opponent is still participating in the World Cup for the first time.

All of a sudden, the French team became the target of public criticism!

"Oh, the result is still the same. Could it be that the defending champion will be eliminated from the group again?" Li Tie was also very emotional when he heard the result.

In terms of strength, the French team is certainly stronger than the opponent.

But in the end, it was so cold.

In fact, after careful analysis, a certain conclusion can be drawn. A large number of players in the French team play in the five major leagues. Their current physical condition is not at their best. On the contrary, African teams are more adaptable. Moreover, many of them play in Ligue [-] and are very familiar with the style of the French team.

Therefore, the loss is not too surprising.

Henry, Trezeguet, Malouda, Vieira and others were rarely at their best throughout the game, and Henry wasted more than one good chance to score.

If it weren't for Butters' several surprise attacks, I'm afraid the French team would lose even more.

After the game, the media was also full of ridicule about this, thinking that the French trained their opponents and then defeated themselves.

Li Tie, on the other hand, called to comfort his younger brother Franck Ribery, cheering him up and working hard in the last group match to make up for his mistakes.

For this, Ribery is also very grateful. Li Tie gave him stronger confidence. If the World Cup premiere is not successful, then he must realize his shame and be brave.

This kid often brags to Li Tie that he is a descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang. If so, he must be a legend like his ancestor.

The loss of the French team also sounded the alarm for the strong teams.

The Italian team, which played on the second day, defeated Ecuador 2:1, which can be regarded as saving the face of a strong team.

However, the process of the game was not easy, and Ecuador's possession rate far exceeded that of the Italian team.

If it weren't for Pirlo's two exquisite passes to help Inzaghi score, I am afraid that the Italian team will also fall into the sand.

Pirlo missed Inter Milan's subsequent games due to injury, but his physical fitness was also restored. In this game, his state was very good.

And Inzaghi is also in hot form, and his ability to grab points is indeed very good.

In this World Cup, it is very difficult for the Italian team to meet the South Korean team, so they should be able to go further, right?
Uruguay lost 1:3 to the Danish team, and the former world champion's first appearance in the World Cup was not considered a success.

Then the teams played one after another, and the German team attracted attention. They beat the Cameroon team 3:0.

Deisler and Ballack performed well, and goalkeeper Kahn also resolved the opponent's attack many times. The German chariot was in good condition and showed its strength at the beginning.

Argentina beat Nigeria 1:0, and their status was relatively slow.

The England team even drew with Sweden 1:1. In every World Series, they are always favored, but they are always disappointing.

The Spanish team, the king of the qualifiers, showed their state relatively early, beating the World Cup newcomer Slovenia 3:1, which makes people feel that they may have a big chance this time.

Slovenia squeezed out the Yugoslavia team to participate in the World Cup. Their strength can only be regarded as medium. It is not easy to qualify for the top 16.

On June 6, Group C of the Chinese team also started.

Brazil beat Turkey 2-0 and got off to a good start.

The 3R combination composed of Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho and Rivaldo was radiant, and Turkey's backcourt was in a state of high tension throughout the game.

In this game, Li Tie and Rehhagel watched together, but the players were not allowed to watch, so as not to have a psychological burden.

After reading it, the two also discussed countermeasures together.

The Turkish team's defense is not weak, it is definitely at the top level. Although the Brazilian team seems to have won the ball, they scored twice, in fact, they all depended on their personal ability.

If the Chinese team wants to qualify from the group, they must beat Costa Rica and Turkey. They still don't have much confidence in Brazil.

"How? Are you sure you can kill the Turkish team?" Rehhagel asked.

Li Tie smiled and said: "It should be fine. I will play the midfielder and find a way to get rid of Tu Jiayi. As long as the situation is opened in the middle, it should be fine. However, if we win the first two games, I am afraid we don't have to think about Turkey?"

Rehhagel nodded and said, "Haha, if you have the guts, that's good. The Brazilian team is indeed very strong. We need to be prepared to qualify after three games."

On June 6, the match between the Chinese team and Costa Rica began.

After the players from both sides entered the field, the stands were full of red. Most of the fans were Chinese fans.

It's no wonder that this is too close to mainland China, but any fan with a little money will choose to come to the scene to watch the game.

This has also allowed South Korea's tourism industry to develop greatly.

Li Tie was the captain, and Lao Fan didn't have to fight anymore.

Li Tie brought Li Datou, Zhang Heizi, General Fan, Sun Jihai, Wu Chengying, Wang Dong, Deke, Octopus, Qu Hanqing and An Qi to the stage. The lineup was 3-5-2. The teenager Wang Dong and Deke formed a double midfielder.

Immediately after they came out, the Chinese fans roared like a tsunami, frightening the Costa Rican players into a tsunami. The movement was too loud!
The movement of their fans was too small, and they were quickly overwhelmed by the movements of the Chinese fans.

The players of the Chinese team were also very excited. This time the fans were too loud, shouting the names of the players one by one, which made people very excited.

Deco is even more satisfied with this effect. It seems that choosing to join the Chinese team is not a disadvantage. These fans did not regard him as a foreigner, and they also shouted Deco's name.

The South Korean fans watching the match were actually cheering for the visiting team, which gave the visiting team some comfort. In addition to the pitifully small number of Costa Rica fans, there was a huge gap in strength between the two sides, whether on the court or in the stands.

The referee is the Greek referee Giros. When shaking hands with Li Tie, Giros also smiled and congratulated Li Tie on his successful defense of the Champions League.

Maybe off the court, he would ask Li Tie to sign for him.

The treatment of this star is different.

The captain of the opponent did not receive this kind of treatment, and just nodded his head and it was over.

The game starts soon.

Immediately after the whistle blew, Li Tie also received a system prompt: "Issuing the mission now: lead the Chinese team to win the Hercules Cup. If the mission is successful, players will be rewarded with a chance to fuse. If the mission fails, the five fusion players who already have it will be cancelled!"

This dog system is really ruthless, if you don't succeed, you will be benevolent.

After the kick-off of the Chinese team, Li Tie quickly got the ball. Castro, the opponent, stepped up to press for it. Li Tie kicked his foot, followed by a dunk, and made a reverse breakthrough to the front of the penalty area.

Fonseca came up to block the eye-catching, Li Tie made a false shot and made a real pass, and the ball was directly stuffed into the penalty area from the ribs.

Qu Hanqing came up with a burst shot and almost broke the goal. The opponent's goalkeeper Ronis also tried his best to save the ball out of the bottom line!
Qu Hanqing yelled regretfully, Li Tie walked over and said with a smile: "Fat brother, don't worry, there are plenty of opportunities in the future, calm down, don't rush to shoot."

Qu Hanqing nodded and said, "I'm just a little anxious. If I push it again, I might have a better chance."

The corner kick was taken by Deco, and his skills are also very good. Several players of the Chinese team can switch to play set kicks.

After the whistle, Deco kicked the ball back!
Zhang Heizi jumped up from it and headed the ball into the dead corner of the goal, 1:0!

In the stands, the Chinese fans immediately became crazy, the sound was terrifying, and the movement was very loud.

The red flags are waving, and there are huge crowds of people. It is quite spectacular!

"The Chinese team scored! Everton defender Zhang Heizi took advantage of the corner kick and headed the ball into the dead corner! 1:0, now the Chinese team is leading!"

In the 5 sets of live broadcast seats, Huang Daxian jumped up excitedly, startling the commentators from other countries next to him!
Zhang Hehe hurriedly tugged at him, and then helped him round the field: "Xiao Zhang hits the ball very accurately, and his jumping ability is really good. After being baptized in the Premier League, he has become more mature, and he has a good catch of set-pieces. It only took less than 2 minutes to start. It seems that today we are expected to see a big victory."

Only then did Huang Daxian calm down, and hurriedly said: "Yes, today started well. The team's set-piece opportunities were well grasped. The team's two tall central defenders both have excellent header skills. Today's goal is good."
