Chapter 805: 1 Battle to Become Famous
The long overdue World Cup finally officially kicked off at the Maracana Stadium in Sao Paulo.
Unlike sitting at home in his previous life, watching the TV and watching live TV, this time, Yang Huan was sitting in the main stand with the best view with the tickets of the senior guests of the World Cup Organizing Committee.
And in his previous life, he was a loner, but now, Zhuang Ziqing, Zhang Ning and Lin Yuner are all there.
It's just that they have all disguised themselves, so they shouldn't be recognized by others.
It has been four years since time travel, and Yang Huan's impression of what the World Cup was like in his previous life is already somewhat vague.
However, the opening game of this World Cup is quite exciting.
Brazil played against Croatia, the two sides played in full swing, and finally ended with Brazil beating Croatia 3-1.
The Brazilian star Neymar, who switched from Southampton to Barcelona last summer, was very excited in this opening game. He not only scored the first goal of this World Cup, but also scored twice.
After the game, Neymar was also elected as the player of the game.
Southampton midfielder Oscar also started in this game, serving as the core of the midfielder, passing and shooting. He is the player second only to Neymar in the whole game, which is very impressive.
But Oscar is not only eye-catching on the offensive end, but also very active on the defensive end, and the counter-robbing is also very effective.
After the game, Oscar won unanimous praise from the media and fans. Many people even believed that he was the number one contributor to Brazil's victory in this game, because Neymar's first goal came from his beautiful assist. .
Croatia's performance here is generally sluggish. Modric is one of the few bright spots. His shot before the end saved Croatia's face, but it could not prevent Croatia from losing.
The Saints midfielder, the talented teenager Kovacic also won the starting qualification, but his performance was average and he was replaced halfway.
It is worth mentioning that the Brazilian international Bernard introduced by Yang Huan from Shakhtar Donetsk also came off the bench in this game, but did not perform, while Danilo and Alex Sandro were Failed to make the big list.
After watching the first group match between Brazil and Croatia, Yang Huan and others immediately rushed to the next match without stopping.
The next day, he appeared in the stands of the match between Spain and the Netherlands.
Interestingly, in the last World Cup, Spain lost 0-1 to Heathfield's Switzerland unexpectedly in the first game, but won the World Cup in the end.
But this time, Spain lost 1-5 to Louis van Gaal's Dutch team in the first game astonishingly, which directly shocked everyone's jaws.
This also made Yang Huan feel disappointed, because Bosque was obviously resting on his laurels.
It was already lost to Switzerland four years ago, and it is still the same four years later, what is this?
This is typical lying on the credit book waiting to die!
The midfielder is still the same midfielder, and the defense is basically unchanged. The goalkeeper is still Iker Casillas, and the striker is at most. Atletico Madrid's striker Diego Costa is the starter.
But such a set of tactics was figured out by Switzerland four years ago, and it was used to play Van Gaal's Netherlands four years later. Isn't this courting death?
As the main central defender of the Saints and the core of the Champions League champion, Harvey Martinez can't compete with Ramos and Pique, which really makes Yang Huan feel very speechless.
On the contrary, Azpilicueta is the starting right back, but how can one person stop the defeat of the entire team?
Cesc Fabregas, Torres and Pedro came off the bench after 60 minutes in the second half, and players such as Javi Martinez, Juanfran and Cork simply didn't even have a chance to play.
This also made Yang Huan feel very disappointed, and he was clearly aware of it.
Spain's defeat is a lesson for Southampton!
Why did Bosque lose?
Because he sticks to the Spanish tactics, even if Xavi, Iniesta and Xavi Alonso are old, he still insists on playing like this, because he doesn't have the courage to kill himself!
This world is like this, if you dare not take your own life, let others take your life!
Southampton won the Premier League championship before. Last season, it was the double crown of the Premier League and the Champions League. The Saints team has reached its peak, especially with Modric and Toni Kroos. This set of tactics of frontcourt partner Ibrahimovic has basically reached its limit.
In this case, either take your own life, or wait for someone else to cut your life!
Yang Huan has never been a passive person, he likes to take the initiative.
It was a bit like giving gifts. After watching a disappointing match between Spain and the Netherlands, Yang Huan received three big gifts one after another.
Sanchez, James Rodriguez and Sturridge all scored for Chile against Australia, Colombia against Greece and England against Italy, while Verratti added an assist for the Italian national team.
This also made Yang Huan very happy to watch.
After that, France, Argentina, Germany, Belgium and other national teams made appearances one after another. As long as there are international players from Yang Huan's team, or games that Yang Huan is interested in, he will go to the scene to watch the game in person.
This allowed Yang Huan to travel back and forth between major World Cup host cities in Brazil in the following time.
At first, Zhuang Ziqing, Zhang Ning, and Lin Yuner followed enthusiastically, but later on, they were all exhausted, so they simply stopped going and spent more time visiting major tourist attractions in Brazil and South America.
Only Yang Huan was left alone, or occasionally brought Charlene Lahiri with him, and he never got tired of shuttling through the various arenas.
It's in this tight, game-by-game game that time flies by.
After the group stage, it can be said that several families were happy and others were sad.
Some have already packed up their bags and went home, but some are still preparing for the knockout round.
Speaking of the group stage, the most eye-catching star is definitely James Rodriguez.
Among the hundreds of players on all thirty-two teams, the Colombian had the highest game score.
Especially in the last game of the group stage against Japan, James Rodriguez took a break from the bench after starting two consecutive games.
Unexpectedly, the two sides drew one to one in the first half.
In the second half, James Rodriguez replaced Cuadrado. As a result, within 45 minutes, he scored two assists and one goal, directly blinding all the fans and media around the world.
Everyone didn't have high hopes for Colombia, because the team's top scorer and biggest star, Falcao, was absent due to injury.
Unexpectedly, James Rodriguez suddenly came out from a diagonal stab, which directly surprised everyone.
But in the case of worldwide attention, the Saints midfielder still performed eye-catching.
In the round of 16 knockout match against Uruguay, James Rodriguez scored twice, helping Colombia eliminate Uruguay, a traditional powerhouse, and successfully reached the quarterfinals.
No one expected that James Rodriguez's performance would be so good.
More importantly, he is not only eye-catching in terms of offensive statistics, but also has outstanding contributions on the defensive end, and he can play midfielder, left winger and right winger, and even in the middle of the midfield. comprehensive.
But it is a pity that even if James Rodriguez relied on his own strength to lead Colombia to rush all the way, he still failed to make further progress in the end.
In the knockout round of the quarter-finals, they lost 1-2 to the host Brazil team and stopped in the quarter-finals.
But James Rodriguez became famous in this World Cup, and his fantastic performance undoubtedly made him the most dazzling star.
Also in the quarter-finals, the German team relied on Toni Kroos to assist Hummels' offense, eliminated the French team 1-0, and successfully entered the semi-finals.
The core midfielder of the German team has played all the games of the German team in this World Cup. He has performed quite steadily and is very impressive. This assist is also his second assist in this World Cup.
But in the semi-finals, they met the host Brazil.
As soon as the result came up, Toni Kroos, who was in hot form, assisted Thomas Muller and broke the goal of the Brazilian team.
After that, he scored two goals in a row and scored twice in less than two minutes.
Afterwards, the situation was basically one-sided, with the German team beating up the Brazilian team.
After the game, the score was shocking, seven to one!
In the end, Toni Kroos was elected the best player in this game that slaughtered the host.
Yang Huan was sitting in the stands, and he was completely dumbfounded.
In his previous life, he couldn't understand why and thought it was match-fixing, but this time, he understood.
The problem of the Brazilian team is concentrated in the defense, and the player David Ruiz cannot be alone.
When his partner is Thiago Silva, he is like a wild horse pulled by the rein, slightly under control, but once his partner becomes Dante, the rein is loose. He has become a nightmare for the team!
More importantly, the strikers of the German team, whether it is Thomas Muller or Klose, are actively and patiently running to find opportunities, which makes Brazil's defense make mistakes again and again.
After Toni Kroos scored twice, the game had completely lost its meaning.
The first half hour decided the whole game.
As for whether the score was four to zero or seven to one, that was meaningless.
In Yang Huan's view, this is a game where the advanced learns the backward.
Although Yang Huan always believes that Loew is very soft, at least the German football he promotes is very advanced.
On the other hand, Scolari played exactly the football at the end of the last century.
He can't play this way in Chelsea in the Premier League, but can he still play in the World Cup?
In the end, Germany relied on this seven-to-one victory to defeat Brazil and successfully reached the final.
Five days later, Germany faced Argentina, which eliminated the Dutch team in the final. In stoppage time, Schurrle made a cross from the left and Gotze made a lore in the middle. The German team defeated Argentina and won the World Cup.
But I am afraid that few people will notice that the kick passed to Schurrle came from Toni Kroos.
In the World Cup final, Yang Huan accepted the invitation of the host Brazil, and accompanied by Zhuang Ziqing, appeared in the chairman's stand.
Next to him, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the presidents and leaders of Brazil, Argentina and other countries also appeared in the stands. As the owner of the football club, Yang Huan is duty-bound to be a commentator.
Fortunately, he is eloquent and his explanations are quite interesting.
However, after the World Cup, Yang Huan has no way to leave Brazil immediately, because domestic leaders will officially visit South America tomorrow, the first stop will be Brazil, and they will focus on cooperation in the fields of cloud computing and smart city construction.
Both Yang Huan and Zhuang Ziqing will be part of the delegation.
