There is a dream called football

Chapter 360 World Cup Opening

On June 6th, German time, the World Cup kicked off at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany.

Football bigwigs from all over the world gather at the Allianz Arena, which was also newly built for the World Cup.

It started with a performance by men in Bavarian leather trousers, which can be seen at the annual Oktoberfest.

After the characteristic folk dance, the World Cup Gold Cup came on stage. Pele was holding the Gold Cup, accompanied by German supermodels.

The climax of the opening ceremony should be the singing of the theme song - "Celebrate The Day".

As we all know, the opening ceremony of a football game is very short, which is completely different from the Olympic Games, because the most important thing in a football game is the opening game, and the lawn cannot be damaged.

And what everyone is looking forward to is the opening match of Germany VS Costa Rica.

Starting from the World Cup in Germany, the opening game is no longer played by the champion of the previous World Cup, but by the host.

In the last World Cup, in the opening game, France had a big upset and lost to Senegal, so the opening game has always been difficult to play.

Li Qiao and his teammates watched the game at the hotel, because tomorrow is the match in Group B, and the Chinese team will play against Sweden, so don't say that the Chinese team doesn't have a ticket to watch the match.

In the previous life, Li Qiao watched this game with his father, but at this time, the audience was most looking forward to Li Qiao, because he really wanted to know, is this World Cup the same as the last World Cup in Germany?
The first goal of the World Cup in Germany, as long as it is a true fan, knows that in the opening 6 minutes, left-back Lahm's full moon scimitar hangs in a dead corner. That goal will be played repeatedly in the next few World Cups. It is a very classic scene.

But after 6 minutes, the German still failed to score.

Klinsmann on the sidelines looked a little anxious.

Li Qiao found that the state of the German team was not very good, and there were many mistakes in the midfield.

Gao Lin beside Li Qiao laughed, "It seems that the curse of the opening game in 2002 and 2004 is about to be staged again, and the strong teams will be upset."

"It's not sure yet. Germany is different from other teams after all. The Germans are particularly strong here." Lei Wen pointed to his brain.

Gao Lin nodded.

All the fans know the spirit of Germany, so to say that the Germans are no good now is to be a fake fan.

But in the 12th minute of the game, Costa Rica scored first.

Costa Rica's main striker, No. 9 Wanchope, after receiving a pass from No. 11 and his striker partner Ronald Gomez, volleyed decisively from the far corner in the penalty area, and Lehmann couldn't make a save.

The ball goes straight into the net from the near corner.

1 to 0.
As soon as the goal was scored, there was no sound at the Allianz Stadium, and many people immediately remembered the situation in the opening games of the previous two major competitions.

Could it be the same for the 2006 World Cup in Germany?
"Wow, this game is interesting, the Germans are a bit embarrassed when they are beaten."

"It's mainly the pressure from the host, it's normal."

"This is a great reference for our victory over Sweden tomorrow. We will fight like this tomorrow."

Feng Xiaoting laughed.

"Hehe, okay, after you become the head coach of the national football team, we will all listen to you."

"Haha, cut."

After taking the lead, Costa Rica put up an iron barrel formation to block the German team's attack. The head coach of Costa Rica is the famous coach Guimaraes.

It was a famous coach who also came to China to coach later. He asked the team to retreat and play defensive counterattacks.

In this way, the German team's offensive space is not played, and the ball is passed into the penalty area again and again, but most of them are ejected by the opponent first.

At this time, the German team is still in an era of green and yellow, and the players are definitely not comparable to those in 2014, so the offense is a bit single, and they all pass the ball to find Klose in front.

"This offense is too simple to play, how can it be possible to score goals."

Indeed, while speaking, another shot from midfielder Frings missed.

"If the German team plays in this state, it will be really difficult to go further."

In fact, the fate of the German team is closely related to that of the Chinese team. If the Chinese team qualify for the group stage, then the quarter-finals will be against the team in Group A, which is likely to be the German team.
When the German team couldn't attack, the left back Lahm suddenly made an assist. He could have made a cross, but he didn't, but chose to cut inside.

"It's so similar."

"What is so similar?" Gao Lin asked.

Li Qiao realized that he had slipped his tongue, so he could only prevaricate: "It's nothing, I watched Bundesliga games before, and Lahm seems to have done the same thing, the shot after cutting inside, so I said it was too similar."

"Shooting? It's unlikely to be shot in this area."

Before the words were finished, Lahm kicked a curved ball to the back of the goal, and with a bang, the ball hit the back post and went in! !

In! !
In! !
The Allianz Arena was boiling. In fact, even the Germans themselves were not very optimistic about their national team before the game, because the German lineup was too old at this time, and many old players were helpless.

That's why the fans were so happy when they scored a goal against Costa Rica.

An equalizer can stabilize the morale of the German team.

The first half ended 1-1.

During the intermission, Zhu Guanghu just came back from the outside, "How is it?"

"1 to 1."

Zhu Guanghu's face was a little surprised.

"This Costa Rica is not bad."

"Yeah, there is no downside in the scene. Boss, we may have something to do with Sweden tomorrow."

"Hehe, there's no need for that, Q."

At the beginning of the second half, the German team conceded the ball first again. This time, Wanchope scored again. Germany still did not mark the man tightly in front of the penalty area, giving the opponent a chance.

But this time the German seemed to have a sudden enlightenment. After 2 minutes, Schweinsteiger lobbed the ball from the right into the penalty area, and Klose in the penalty area finally played the air fighter. Last time in South Korea, Klose abused Saudi Arabia.

Klose headed the ball into the goal, 2 to 2.
Maybe because of the quick equalizer, this time the Germans became more confident, and Klinsmann also made substitutions to adjust the situation on the pitch.

Veteran Neuville replaced Klose, and it was he who finally completed the lore.

It can only be said that Jiang is still old and spicy. After Neuville flashed a few times in front of the penalty area, he decisively volleyed the lower corner of the goal.

The penalty area was full of people and Costa Rica goalkeeper Jose Porras was slow to make a save as the ball rolled slowly into the bottom corner.

The Allianz Arena is boiling, Germany has completed the reversal, but Li Qiao is even more shocked, this story is completely different!
