What does the World Cup mean to journalists?

If Huang Jianxiang were to answer this question, it would have to be: pain and happiness.

The pain lies in the pressure, but also in all kinds of emergencies that may appear at any time, even from the sun that is constantly emitting heat hanging above the head!

As for happiness...

Of course it comes from the World Cup itself.

Explaining the World Cup, this is the dream of many people.

And today, on the third match day of this World Cup, Huang Jianxiang's pain and happiness are doubled——

The joy is that he is commenting on the game between Argentina and Nigeria.

Group F is the "group of death" of this World Cup, and Argentina is one of the biggest favorites in this cup.

So this game is the focus of the focus, the weight of the weight!

The only thing that makes him regret is the game time——

The game was played at 1pm.

Tokyo, June, 6:1pm and he's sitting here in a suit, it's torture!

Huang Jianxiang took the lead today, but it didn't prevent him from complaining with the guests.

But the guest just nodded perfunctorily and said, "We are just sitting here, think about the players, they are going to play."

What else can Huang Jianxiang say?

Can he say that he works harder than the players?

Seeing that he seemed to be listless, the guest said, "The weather is a bit hot, but I heard that the highest temperature today is only 30 degrees?"

The listless Huang Jianxiang didn't even bother to pay attention to him.

Is the temperature reported by the weather forecast the same as their body temperature under such a big sun?

Didn't you see that the Argentine fans and Japanese fans were all wilted, and only the Nigerian fans were singing and dancing?

Huang Jianxiang was not envious of his ability to withstand extreme heat, but wondered, "Why are there so many football fans from Nigeria?"

It doesn't matter if there are many Argentine fans. After all, the temptation of Rafael Gabati has deceived many fans in China, and they spent a lot of money to buy fake tickets.

But Nigeria has so many fans...

Well, he didn't mean to offend, but that doesn't make sense logically.

Huang Jianxiang said: "Yesterday, Luo Ming, a reporter from Sports Weekly, interviewed officials from the Nigerian embassy in Japan. They said that only 50 fans from China flew in to cheer. But Nigeria itself has a lot of fans working in Japan. They They will all come to cheer.”

Only then did Huang Jianxiang understand what was going on.

They chatted a few more words about the starting lineup, and the director reminded Huang Jianxiang to get into work.

Because there is still half an hour before the start of the game, Huang Jianxiang brought up the long-cherished wishes of Argentina and Nigeria.

In fact, at this time, it is not appropriate to use the word "long-cherished wish" to describe the relationship between the outcome of the two teams.

But who made Ayala, who was interviewed by the Argentine side, brood over the past of the Atlanta Olympics during the pre-match interview...

Since the Argentines regard Nigeria as an opponent and a threat, it is not an exaggeration for him to introduce the various things between the "two eagles", right?

After spending a few minutes in the water, Huang Jianxiang began to introduce the starting rosters of the two teams in detail for the fans.

"Although Argentina is the favorite of this World Cup, their coach Bielsa is still very cautious when facing the first match.

In terms of formation, he still adopted the 3313 formation.

The starting goalkeeper is the teenager Caballero from La Liga Celta Vigo. It is surprising that he can get the starting opportunity, but Argentina still lacks top players in the goalkeeper position...

The three central defenders are Ayala, Samuel and Placente.

Among them, Ayala is the absolute leader of the defense.

The left and right wingers are Sorin from Cruzeiro and Zanetti from Inter Milan. Bielsa needs them to help the team attack.

Occupying the midfielder position is Redondo, the honored Bernabéu prince, who has once again started his World Cup journey. We have extremely high expectations for his performance.

The position of the midfielder is undoubtedly Rafael.

The trident in the frontcourt are Kiley, Batty and Aimar. "

After introducing the starting lineup, Huang Jianxiang did not immediately introduce the Nigerian lineup, but started gossip.

"As Bielsa said in yesterday's pre-match conference, Barty started.

This is undoubtedly cruel to the young Crespo.

In the 1998 World Cup, the young Crespo scored 4 valuable goals, and in the past few seasons, he has performed extremely well in Serie A and played very well.And this season, he even tied for second in the Serie A scorer list with Irving, but this performance did not conquer Bielsa, and the Argentine coach chose Batty.

Of course, this was obviously a moment of relief for Barty fans.

In the twilight years of their idol's career, they not only witnessed Batty win the first top league championship in his life, witnessed him reach the stage of the Champions League final, and now they also saw him start again in the World Cup.

The days of Crespo are still long, and it is impossible for Bielsa to let the 33-year-old Barty play all the games, he still has a chance..."

Huang Jianxiang spent a lot of space introducing the problems of Crespo and Batty.

He thought, having such two top center forwards, but not being able to start them at the same time, this may be the trouble of Bielsa's happiness.

"Argentina has a star-studded squad to look forward to, while Nigeria's starting XI is not conservative.

The starting goalkeeper is Xiao Lunmu, who plays for Ruichao Ruselny.

The defense from left to right are: Baba Yaluo, West, Okolonku, Yobo.

Among them, Baba Yaluo is from Chelsea in the Premier League, and Yobo is from Marseille in Ligue [-].

And the one we are most familiar with is obviously West, who once played for Inter Milan and is a former teammate with many Inter Milan players.

Later transferred to Premier League Arsenal.

But this season Arsenal has terminated his contract and he has become a free agent.

The midfield trio is Okocha from Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue [-], Sawyer from Kluwer in Ligue [-] and Laval from Roda in Eredivisie.

The striker trident is Kanu from Arsenal, Agahova from Ukrainian giants Shakhtar Donetsk and Ogbesh from Paris Saint-Germain. "

After Huang Jianxiang said this, he found that the Nigerian players came out to warm up first.

The director obviously understood, and tacitly gave the camera to West, who was the most stealthy.

Although he became a free agent, West is still the "Teletubbies" he used to be. Not only did he wear two sky-high braids on his head, but the color of the hair rope with these two sky-high braids was also deliberately chosen to match the color of the national team's jersey. green.

Even though Huang Jianxiang was well-informed and knew him a long time ago, these two green braids almost made him tense up.

Fortunately, at this time the camera suddenly turned to Kanu.

Huang Jianxiang said: "Both Okocha and Kanu participated in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics and won the gold medal. At the pre-match press conference, Kanu also expressed his determination to win."

After saying this, Huang Jianxiang discovered that the director cut the camera to the stands.

I saw that half of the stadium was hung with the Argentine flag. Although the number of Nigerian fans was more than expected, it only occupied a small half of the stands in this stadium that can accommodate more than 6 fans.

At this moment, Veronica, Javier, Louis and Byron suddenly appeared in the camera.

This also cheered Huang Jianxiang up!

When he started to introduce to the fans, he saw Louis suddenly cheered, and at the same time as the picture was transmitted to his eardrums, there was also the sudden amplified cheers from the scene.

The Argentine fans, who were sunburned, "live" immediately, even mixed with whistles and screams.

These whistles and screams almost overwhelmed Huang Jianxiang.

Even if the Argentine players finally played, what happened to so many whistles?

But when Huang Jianxiang saw Raphael on the screen, he immediately had an epiphany.

"The Argentine players finally came out to warm up, they were wearing the traditional blue and black away jersey today, and there was a huge cheer from the fans.

But I think most of these cheers are for Raphael, because he changed a new hairstyle today, which resembles the elf prince in "Lord of the Rings", extremely handsome.

However, when he played against Parma last season, he also used a similar look, but it was obviously not as refined as today..."

Is it not as refined as it is today?

Huang Jianxiang stared at the braids tied up from the temples, and there was only one thought in his mind——

Rafael must not be able to do it by himself. Bielsa's military discipline is so strict, and he must not be a foreign stylist, so who did it for him?

Huang Jianxiang had such doubts in his heart, but he didn't dare to mention a word.

But he can say something else, like——

"Raphael once won the Apollo Gold Award in the only beauty contest in football, and specially changed a new hairstyle for the World Cup, while Beckham won the silver award. It is said that he also prepared a novel hairstyle. I also want to Ronaldo is the one who will amaze the world, but I think he might not be happy to see the media comparing his 'Afford head' with Rafael and Beckham..."

Huang Jianxiang was teasing Ronaldo, and at the moment, the darling in the eyes of thousands of fans, was also stared at by "ten thousand male fans" Batty.

He also appeared on the stage in style today, but what he got in exchange was only the screaming of the male compatriots, and the screaming of the female fans was not at all worth it...

Rafael entered the field amid such cheers, and after raising his hand to the fans, he looked back at Aimar.

Aimar felt that the look in his eyes seemed to be praising his craftsmanship, but also seemed to be narcissistic, which had too many meanings.

After waiting for the vacant half, before warming up with the fitness coach, Rafael specially emphasized: "Everyone should be more focused and careful when warming up. I don't want everyone to miss the game because of bad luck."

After finishing speaking, he looked directly at Ayala.

Ayala was stunned——

what are you looking at me for?

Do I look like an unlucky guy?

In fact, he guessed right. In Raphael's eyes, he was the unlucky guy who missed the World Cup because of the warm-up before the game.

And because of his unlucky injury, it caused a chain reaction, causing Argentina to lose to England, and finally packed up and went home in the group stage.

But Raphael is also very clear that because of him, the world has long been different.

He doesn't know what the fate of Argentina's World Cup trip will be, whether it will also be eliminated in the group stage, but he knows what he can do.

For example, now.

Although Ayala was confused, the coach was also reminding them to warm up carefully.

Just be careful, after all, there is nothing wrong with being careful, and he doesn't want to be the unlucky guy that Raphael said.

Seeing Raphael and the others who were concentrating on warming up, West felt a little lost. He thought Raphael and the others would say hello to him...

But West quickly sorted out his mood and returned to the locker room with his teammates.

The Argentine internationals are warming up intently, and at the moment Luis in the stands is discussing hairstyles with the parents: "Rafa's hair is so handsome, so handsome, Luis also wants..."

But while he was talking, he grabbed his hair and felt wronged——

Because he is curly.

The super rolly kind.

Javier had heard this kind of talk when he was a baby, and he was speechless at that time——

You are my baby, not Rafa's baby, of course it will be curly.

But his son's grievance also made him look at his sister for help.

And Veronica only said a few words in Louis's ear, and made the kid super happy.

The fans enjoyed the most relaxing time before the game, and after the warm-up ended, Raphael also relaxed because none of his teammates were injured.

They're off to a good start, aren't they?

After the warm-up, Raphael led his teammates to thank the fans again.

Even if they know that because of the severe economic crisis, not many domestic fans can come to distant Asia to support them, and most of these supporters are from Asia.

But precisely because of this, this support is even more commendable!

After thanking the fans, everyone returned to the visiting team's dressing room, where Bielsa was already waiting for them.

This is the first match of the World Cup, even if the captain is a newcomer to the World Cup, Bielsa is not worried about the psychological problems of the players at all.

He told the players with a serious face: "Playing football at noon may not suit you, but this is not a reason, let alone an excuse!

Nigeria's style is similar to Cameroon's. After we entered the frontcourt to press after the opening, they may adopt foul tactics. Be calm, restrained, and not impulsive!And this is our chance..."

After emphasizing the tactics, Bielsa looked at Rafael.Condolences

In the Argentine locker room, there is a tradition of the captain speaking before the game.

This tradition came from Passarella and Maradona, and now to Raphael.

This also made all the Argentine internationals look at Rafael, and they wanted to know what the "rookie" captain could express at this time.

Seeing these gazes, Rafael just spread his hands: "This is Nigeria, not England. I don't think I have anything to say."

By the time he finished speaking, the locker room was already filled with laughter.

This is typical Raphael's arrogance, but it also speaks the aspirations of all Argentine internationals.

Although this is their first World Cup match, it's just Nigeria!

Bielsa didn't expect Rafael's pre-match speech to be so unique, but the effect was great!

He also showed a rare smile and said: "Remember what you said, well, get out of here and meet our victory!"

Although the coach let go, who would dare not to go?

Raphael was no exception, but before rolling, he still raised his arms and shouted: "Argentina!"

What a sacred slogan this is, leaving only the name of the motherland echoing in the locker room.
