Grassroots Glory

The profoundness of Chinese culture lies in the fact that different words can be used for both praise and criticism when used on different objects, expressing completely opposite attitudes.

For example, today is not what it used to be.

For the Chinese team, it is already a praise in the country to have such a result. To be honest, although some media mentioned it, according to the current momentum of the Chinese team, after winning Colombia and Uruguay, after winning Uruguay and Brazil, followed by France, Germany, Argentina, and the Netherlands... In the end, there was no win. But these words are just for everyone's enjoyment, a joke.

In fact, everyone’s requirements are not that high. At most, they are counting on Zhou Tiancheng to win the Golden Boot. He has scored five goals so far. Colombian supernova James Rodriguez is one more ahead of him. However, Colombia has already been eliminated, and Zhou Tiancheng still has a chance to overtake. In addition, Thomas Muller of the German team and Neymar, the head of Brazil, tied for five goals with him. The biggest hope of Chinese fans is that Zhou Tiancheng can try his best to squeeze to the top of the list and keep these two at the same time.

As for the team, the fans have expressed their views on the Internet regarding this result.

The official Weibo of the national team has been on the top for a long time and has only three words: Sorry.

Over the years, this Weibo has become a hard-hit area, and has been whipped countless times by fans, but this time, after the national team eliminated Uruguay, the style of the national team's Weibo has changed.

Forgive you this time, we should say sorry.

Then you lose whatever you want.

You guys did a great job! Those who fell into trouble when they lost, and now come to kneel and lick, don't deserve to accept these three words.

The Chinese team has achieved the current results, even if it is a success.

On the other hand, the five-star Brazil is also not what it used to be.

It's still the same head coach, Big Phil Scolari, but the players under him are no longer the 3R combination that made all the powerful players feel their scalps tingle twelve years ago. This Brazilian team is already rare. Neymar's strength is at best the level of the Brazilian team's roster. It is not too much for other midfielders, such as Oscar and Paulinho, to be selected. After all, these two are still the main players in the Premier League. A local striker like Germany can become the No. 9 of the Brazilian team, which is a bit of a slap in the face.

This is the status quo of the Brazilian team. Even so far, they are not the favorites to win the championship. The odds offered by European bookmakers for winning the championship rank them behind Germany and Argentina, and even the Chinese team is catching up with them.

Although not the favorite to win the championship,

But the Brazilian team is full of confidence inside and outside.

...

This game can be said to be the game with the highest attention since the start of the World Cup.

The host vs. the national team with the largest fan base, Fortaleza, a small town in the northeast of Brazil, suddenly became lively. A large number of reporters came to the training grounds of the Chinese team and the Brazilian team, mainly from the other side. spying on each other.

Both coaches have no reservations.

In an interview, Scolari was even straightforward: I can't think of any reason to be afraid of the Chinese team. This is just our very ordinary opponent. Indeed, they have the best players in football and the most experienced players. But it is not a challenge, we played against them last year and we are not weaker than them. This is our home stadium, and going to Maracana to win another World Cup for our fans is our goal.”

Scolari has revealed his ambition to win the championship. This year's final is at the Maracanã Stadium. The organizing committee's arrangement is obviously meaningful. The stadium saw the start of five-star Brazil in the year it was built, and now of course they want to embroider a sixth star.

...

The match between the Chinese team and the Brazilian team attracted so much attention that some historical figures of Brazilian football came out to express their views.

As the World Cup guest of Brazil Global TV, Pele, the football king who is still popular in old age. When he was young on the green field, his talent and achievements were unparalleled in the world. When he was old, the skill of his feet was transferred to his mouth.

Before the match between the Chinese team and the Brazilian team, the host was a little worried after talking about the situation of the Chinese team: The performance of the Chinese team is not like a team that has only participated in the World Cup once. They are very strong and have mature game experience. And rich, Scolari is confident it is of course good, but targeted tactics are needed, especially against Chou Tiancheng.

Bailey said bluntly in the program: Brazil will beat China with two goals. There is no suspense. Paulinho can defend Zhou, and Neymar will score two goals to come to the top of the scorer list.

Hearing what Bailey said, the host couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth.

Pele's big mouth is no secret to Brazil now. Every World Cup has to come to brush up the sense of presence. In 2002, he predicted that the Brazilian team would not be able to qualify for the group stage. In 2010, he predicted that England would be able to enter the semi-finals. They were all slapped in the face in the end.

By the way, he once said that an African team would win the World Cup before 2000, but this has been more than ten years overdue, and no African team has yet passed the hurdle of the quarter-finals.

In the end, this episode of the program did not cut off this part, but after it was broadcast, one can imagine what kind of discussion it would definitely spark.

The domestic public opinion environment has become more optimistic. There is even a special post on Zhihu: How should we view Bailey's latest statement?

There are countless followers below.

I just want to say two words, that's all.

What the king of the ball said must be effective for the king of the ball! Is there a king of the ball in this Brazilian team? So, you can just sit back and wait for the success.

Scolari is panicking now...

Scolari's emoticon was also made on the Internet: Go away, curse of the devil!

Coincidentally, not only Pele, we also have such a god-man here.

During the World Cup, CCTV has two most popular programs. The first one is the feast of the rich and powerful every night. For senior fans, they can hear a lot of dry things. The second is the I Love World Cup program at noon.

Although this program is in daytime, its ratings are not much lower than the feast of the rich and powerful. The popularity is entirely due to the host Liu Yuxi.

In the program on the day of the game, Liu Yuxi put on the Brazil team jersey and appeared on the scene: We are all fans of the Chinese team tonight. I wish the boys of the Chinese team good luck! We can win!

No one doubts what he said, because Liu Yuxi and Bailey have very similar attributes, and they have won the nickname Squid Liu among the fans. Whatever team's jersey she wears, the team will undoubtedly lose.

Italy and England have been recruited in this year's group stage.

This time, the fans had a real orgasm.

Send a cool song to Scolari in advance.

Brazil: Who the hell did I provoke? Is this not giving me face?

Pelé and Cuttlefish Liu's dual skills show their power, for whom does the death knell toll?

Awesome, double curse, serial death knell, but who let Brazil's bad luck stand in our way? Even if you are the host, you can't give you this face.

ps: I feel much better today, I started to make up yesterday's, this is the first update.
