king of world football

The World Cup final will be held in Johannesburg!

South Africa is the only country in the world that has three capitals, the administrative capital Pretoria, the legislative capital Cape Town, and the judicial capital Bloemfontein. Hosted by "City of Gold".

The next morning after the semi-finals, the Chinese team took a plane to Johannesburg, along with the players' relatives and friends.

Excitement, excitement, and apprehension were intertwined in my mind. From boarding the plane to landing and taking the bus to the hotel where I stayed, everyone chatted nonstop.

The coaching staff and the team leader were also in a nervous mood at this time. They were inexperienced. Alihan had played in two World Cup finals with the Netherlands in his playing career, but failed both times.

The calmest one is Wang Feng. Apart from encouraging the team, he doesn't talk much. Most of the time he just smiles and listens to the team members' high-spirited talks.

After countless decisive battles, the heart of the Chinese superstar has become as firm as a rock. At this moment, he is still interested in admiring the scenery outside the bus window.

This "City of Gold" is full of giant buildings, wide and tidy streets, parks and grasslands can be seen everywhere, people of different skin colors walk leisurely on the road, their faces are full of healthy luster.

No wonder FIFA and the South African Football Association chose this place as the venue for the finals. It should be regarded as one of the best-developed cities in Africa, and it is also the economic, cultural and tourist center of South Africa.

The only unsatisfactory thing is that Joburg has a relatively high altitude of 1754 meters, which is a burden for athletes, especially the Dutch from the lowlands.

After arriving at the hotel, the coaching staff arranged for the players to have lunch and a short rest, and then officially started training in the afternoon. Wang Feng took the time to call his family and they also arrived safely.

"Little Siyao can only yell two or three words now, but there is one word she pronounces very accurately, and that is your name—Wang Feng." Lu Yao laughed and said, "It's all due to the people in the stands. Chinese fans kept yelling next to her for 6 consecutive games, and parrots will learn."

Wang Feng couldn't help but smile, and he talked with his mother, sister, uncle and others. Everyone cheered him up, and his uncle said: "Xiaofeng, win the World Cup for China, glory to our ancestors!"

.........

At 7:10 on the evening of July 08, the night before the final, the battle for the third and fourth places in the World Cup was held at Nelson's Mandela Bay Stadium. The two sides were Spain and Uruguay.

Before the game, FIFA President Blatter shook hands with the players of both sides. When it was Uruguay's turn, he exchanged warm greetings with Forlan and patted the shoulder.

Unexpectedly, when it was the turn of Suarez, the young teenager who had shined in this World Cup, Blatter immediately became expressionless, and walked over without even looking at him after holding hands politely.

Suarez then turned to look at Blatter with a very surprised expression. This scene was recorded by many media. It stands to reason that as the helm of FIFA, he would not be so indifferent when facing young stars. Who knows that the young general will not Once transformed into a dragon, just like Wang Feng, Kaka, Ronaldo and Messi.

Many people speculated that the reason why Blatter ignored Suarez should be the goal line handball incident against Germany in the quarter-finals. Although it is understandable from a competitive perspective, it did cause a lot of controversy and adverse effects.

So they think that this Uruguayan rising star may not have a good road ahead, at least he has nothing to do with international awards.

After the start of the game, Spain learned from the pain and played more proactively. Although it was raining lightly, their pass and control became smoother. In the 10th minute, Harvey took a corner kick from the right. The inside drilled into the net, 1:0!

Only 8 minutes later, Busquets suddenly took a long shot from 25 meters in front of the goal, causing Uruguayan goalkeeper Muslera to drop his hand. Matador extended the score.

Spain, which has fought more and more bravely in Vietnam, seems to have been opened up to the second line of the governor. Although Uruguay has two generals, Forlan and Suarez, they are struggling to support them, but they still cannot escape the defeat.

Before halftime, Diego Perez dribbled the ball in the middle and was intercepted by Iniesta, and then went straight to the frontcourt. Pedro was assigned to the middle. Torres waded into the penalty area and shot with his right foot, piercing the Uruguay gate again, 3 :0!

After changing sides, Uruguay pulled back in the 53rd minute. Arevalo hit the wall with Suarez to break through the defense, and then crossed the penalty area. Forlan volleyed sideways from 14 meters in front of the goal. into the near corner.

This goal instantly ignited the hopes of the Uruguayan fans in the stands, but Spain quickly extinguished their enthusiasm. In the 71st minute, Xavi made a cross from the wing, and Puyol headed into the lower right corner before the goalkeeper.

4:1!The matador won the third place with a hearty victory, and also created the best result in the history of the Spanish World Cup.

.........

After the game, everyone was amazed by Spain's strength, but felt sorry for him. If the semi-finals had such a fighting spirit, wouldn't the sudden death of conceding two goals in 3 minutes not happen?

In this regard, the Spanish head coach Box said: "I don't think it can be compared to the imagination in this way. We played very smoothly in today's game, but it was difficult to open the situation under the defensive defense of the Chinese team in the last round."

"Besides, they have Wang Feng as a big killer. I'm not saying that Fran and Suarez are not good. They are both top scorers in football, but they are much inferior to Chinese superstars. The most intuitive data, the two The total number of goals is not as many as Wang Feng."

"So the players need to spend more attention on Wang Feng. The offensive end is frustrated, and the defensive end is facing extreme threats. To some extent, the Chinese team is much more difficult to deal with than Uruguay."

Uruguay coach Tabarez did not refute this. He said: "The Chinese team broke into the final, while we only got No.4. Of course there is a gap between the two."

At the same time, he highly praised the national hero Fran, "Diego is really a talented player. I think everyone who has watched this game will express such emotion, especially the sideways volley."

Forlan contributed 5 goals in this World Cup. Except for a penalty kick against South Africa, the other four were all world-wave long-range shots from outside the penalty area. Only he achieved such a wonderful performance!

In recent years, he has been playing in La Liga. In the 04-05 season, he defeated Eto'o in Villarreal and won the La Liga Golden Boot. After switching to Atletico Madrid, he helped the team qualify for the Champions League for the first time in 10 years. And aspire to the Europa League.

Scored 208 goals in 120 La Liga games. Although the scoring efficiency of Messi and even Wang Feng is incomparable, the entire European football is in the first ranks.

Now he is shining in the World Cup, he is bound to become the target of some giants, but his age has become a bottleneck restricting Fran's development. After all, 31 years old is a bit too big for any striker.
