Football irons are burning

Chapter 66 The World Cup Begins

On June 6, the Yugoslav team also arrived in Saint-Etienne.

Obviously, this kind of strong team will not come to the competition venue too early. They think that they can adapt quickly due to their own strength.

Originally, it was also a European country, so there was no jet lag or anything like that.

The Yugoslavia team is of course a strong team, but for some reason, they have lost famous players such as Suker and Boban, who represented Croatia in the competition.

According to the analysis of the Chinese media, it is normal for the national football team to squeeze out the US team and the Yugoslavia team if they want to qualify.

But it seems that this difficulty is not small.

Just look at the careers of these 'Go', what Stojkovic, Mijatovic, Mikhainovic, Yugovic, etc., which one is not a powerful role?
This makes people feel that Alexander, this group of people is basically the main force of well-known European clubs, with excellent personal abilities and very strong offensive and defensive capabilities.

The Yugoslavia team was interviewed very openly to the outside world, which made the media favor them even more than the Chinese team.

According to European media analysis, the Yugoslavia team will defeat the Chinese team, and whether the Chinese team can break through the Yugoslavia team's goal is a suspense.

L'Equipe: The mysterious Chinese team keeps us in the dark. We don't know how they are preparing for the World Cup, but the strength of the Yugoslavia team makes us believe that there is no suspense in this game.Perhaps the captain of Kaiserslautern can bring us some surprises, but his strength alone obviously cannot stop the Yugoslav team's attack.

The Guardian: The Chinese team has not yet opened up to us, but the strength of the Asian teams is obvious. Obviously, the German team and the Yugoslavia team will qualify from this group. The Chinese team may cause a little trouble, but they need to think more about how to score goals in their first World Cup trip, or to get the first point.

Aspen: The Yugoslav team needs to defend the Frankfurt striker. As long as China Yang doesn't score, they will hope to win the game.

Li Tie did not see these comments. Rehhagel's management was very strict and players were prohibited from reading reports.

Therefore, the mood of the national football team will not be affected in the slightest.

In fact, the emotions of the international players are quite stable now. Under the influence of Li Tie, everyone is more relaxed.

Especially the players from the second perspective have basically the same mentality as Li Tie.

Such comments from the media certainly have no way to affect their mentality.

Now the Chinese team's odds of winning the championship are also very low, ranking 32th among the 26 teams, which is purely underestimated.

It is difficult for a new World Cup team and an Asian team to be favored by others.

As the World Cup approaches, the football atmosphere in France is getting hotter and hotter.

Fans from various countries flock to France one after another, bringing various cultural atmospheres.

Chinese fans have also come to France one after another. On the streets of Saint-Etienne, Chinese fans can be seen everywhere.

When it comes to football, the Chinese team is not well-known, but when it comes to the number of fans, there is absolutely no other country that can match it.

Therefore, the local merchants are very happy. With the development of China's economy, the shopping ability of Chinese people is constantly improving. This World Cup, it is estimated that the money bags of Chinese fans will be quite empty, and the French will take their money.

The family members of the players also came to Saint-Etienne.

In this regard, Rehhagel is obviously much more enlightened than domestic coaches.

Li Tie's family members didn't come. His parents were watching the World Cup at home. Originally, Li Tie asked them to come for a trip, but the two elders didn't want to bother.

Liu Fei finished her work and rushed to France.

But she obviously has a more important task, which is to inspect the players.

Everyone in the company has been dispatched this time, inspecting players in the World Cup, and then trying to sign more clients.

After meeting with Li Tie, Liu Fei left.

On the contrary, Bowman also came to Saint-Etienne the next day and reported on his work.

He has found and signed all the players that Li Tie wrote about last time.

It is really not easy to persuade Stam and others to change course.

Fortunately, everything has been settled. These people are basically willing to join Kaiserslautern, but in terms of salary, Kaiserslautern may not be able to satisfy them.

For example, Stam’s annual salary is just over 100 million marks, and Makelele also requires 80 marks if he wants to move.
In addition to the previously signed Ruud Ruud's annual salary of 80 marks, Kaiserslautern's salary expenditure at that time will be an astronomical figure.

At this point, Yeji was also hesitating. Bowman was very dissatisfied with Yeji, and laughed at Yeki as a country bumpkin who could not see the huge benefits in the future.

With the exception of Stam, none have World Cup assignments.

Therefore, if Stam is to be taken, Yerkie will have to decide quickly.

Otherwise, we will talk about it after the World Cup, and the losses will be even greater at that time. When the big giants start, what will happen to Kaiserslautern?

"This Yerkie is really a Grandet. Such an excellent player, he is still reluctant to part with this little annual salary. How can he win him?" Bowman said indignantly.

Li Tie smiled and said: "Then you can draw a blueprint for our chairman. You say that if we win Stam, Makelele and others, the Champions League next season will also be in our pocket. In the face of the temptation of the championship, I think he should know what to do. Winning the Champions League will bring a lot of bonuses. Kaiserslautern's identity will also change drastically, which will be very helpful for attracting outstanding players in the future."

If Stam and Makelele can really be won, Kaiserslautern can indeed form two excellent lineups to deal with two-line battles or even three-line battles.

Li Tie is also confident to compete for the Champions League championship.

Ruud van Nistelrooy, Klose, Toni, Drogba, etc. in the front, myself, Deco, Makelele, Malouda, etc. in the middle, and Materazzi, Stam, Carvalho, Ferreira, etc. in the defense. Is such a lineup still a luxury?
On June 6, the World Cup kicked off.

All members of the national football team also watched the live TV broadcast.

The romance of the French is also reflected in football, and the opening ceremony was good.

After the opening ceremony, defending champions Brazil played against Scotland.

This Brazilian team, with the alien Ronaldo, is the team with the highest call to win the championship.

The process of the game also makes people believe that this Brazilian team is indeed extraordinary, defeating Scotland 2:1 and winning a good start.

However, the process of the game was not one-sided. The Scottish team used a tough style to restrict the samba football well. If it weren't for an own goal, the result of the game would be hard to say.

It seems that there are no underdogs in Europe, which is very useful in the World Cup.

32 teams, almost half of Europe.

The next day, the Italian team also played, they were tied 2:2 by the Chilean team.

Now, the saying that there are no underdogs in South America has come true.

If it weren't for Baggio's penalty kick, Italy would be finished.

The last World Cup champion and runner-up did not perform well, which made the suspense of the World Cup more and more intense.

Li Tie is not very impressed with this World Cup. Although he is a traveler, his impression of football in another time and space started from the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan. After all, it was the first time that the national football team entered the World Cup.

He just remembered that the final was between Brazil and France.

Therefore, Li Tie did not buy a lottery ticket, which is no different from others.

Although my company is still short of money to spend, I can't pin my hopes on lottery tickets.

After watching the ball for a few days, in the blink of an eye, it was the match day of the national football team.

On June 6, the press conference for the first match of the National Football World Cup was held, and Rehhagel attended with Captain Fan.
