Chapter 3 Opening Ceremony

June 14, Luzhniki Stadium, Russia.

The long-awaited opening ceremony of the 2018 Russia World Cup has begun.

Beijing time, 22:30.

Moscow time, 17:30.

At five o'clock in the evening, the sky in Moscow is not dark at all.

The sun was high, scorching like an afternoon sun.

This is a phenomenon unique to Russia. Due to its proximity to the Arctic Circle, daytime phenomena often appear.

 …

Luzhniki Stadium.

At this time, it was already crowded with more than 100,000 spectators seated to watch the opening ceremony of the World Cup.

At the press box, reporters from all over the country took pictures.

The broadcast channels of various countries also showed lively scenes on the field. Once every four years, the battle of honor at the highest level in world football begins.

In China, a large number of people are paying attention to this football festival.

Even people who don't usually watch football should join in the fun.

Bars, cinemas and other venues are carrying out "World Cup Promotions". The unit leaves work early, and the boss treats guests to watch the game.

The whole of China is immersed in a fanatical atmosphere, which can be called national attention.

At 22:30, CCTV Channel 5 officially broadcast the World Cup.

The first is the appearance of the FIFA logo, and below it is the panel of the World Cup in Russia.

A picture appeared, which was a long shot overlooking the scene.

Looking at the Luzhniki Stadium from Lenin Avenue.

The road is crowded with people, and it is very lively. You can feel the frenzied atmosphere through the TV.

The camera turns to the space station, and an astronaut in a space suit releases a black and white soccer ball in space.

The World Cup is not only a football feast, but also a good opportunity to demonstrate national strength. Russia is showing their aerospace capabilities to the world.

"CCTV, CCTV, viewers and friends, good evening!"

"The much-anticipated opening ceremony of the World Cup has officially begun. After Germany won the Hercules Cup in the World Cup in Brazil four years ago, the football carnival we have been waiting for is once again presented in front of everyone."

He Wei and Liu Jiayuan, as well as two heavyweight guests, Yang Chen and Xu Yang partnered to comment.

The four sat on the commentary platform and talked freely.

"Welcome two guests, let's say hello to everyone!" He Wei said with a smile.

"Hi everyone, I'm Yang Chen!"

"I'm Xu Yang!"

He Wei continued: "Thank you for coming, with your help, we believe we can give the audience a more comprehensive and professional commentary."

"First of all, let me tell you about the first round of the group stage!"

"The first round of the group stage will last until the 19th. Our national team's game will be on the 16th, which is the fifth game, against Denmark. What do you two think about this game?"

Yang Chen turned his head to look at Xu Yang, making a gesture of invitation,

Xu Yang said without hesitation: "As Chinese, we naturally hope that our national team can win, but we can't support blindly. We must first understand the strengths and weaknesses of the enemy and ourselves."

"Denmark is not a particularly strong team in European football, but Danish fairy tales are always being staged. They have reached the World Cup finals three times. The strength of this team seems average, but the duration can surprise us. "

Yang Chen accepted the words naturally, and said, "Yes, when playing against Denmark, we must be careful of their midfield brains. Eriksson's organizational skills are very good. We must block his actions."

Having said that, Yang Chen smiled and changed the subject: "Of course, we don't have to worry too much. After all, our midfielder is also very strong. When Yi Le was in Tottenham, Eriksson was his substitute. In terms of midfield control, Yi Le can be said to be a complete blow to Eriksson."

Liu Jiayuan said at this time: "Then, what are your guesses about the direction of this game? Or, who has a higher winning percentage?"

Hearing this, the two guests looked at each other, shook their heads and said, "This cannot be predicted.

"

Xu Yang said: "As Lippi said, the World Cup is not a league. The time for players to adjust is too short. If you want to play well, personal strength is important, but more important is adaptability!"

"China or Denmark, whichever side adapts to the rhythm of the World Cup is better, and which side has a greater advantage!"

"Mr. Xu, you used to be a national football player and played as a midfielder. You played in the same position as Yi Le. What would you do if you met an opponent like Eriksson?"

Xu Yang grinned bitterly and said, "If I were me, I would definitely be stuck in the half court. After all, the gap between us is too big, but if it is Yi Le, it will be different. Yi Le's style of play determines the way the Chinese team plays. I Think, in this game, the Chinese team will choose to attack and rely on the suppressing power of the midfield to open up the situation!"

While chatting at the commentary booth, the opening ceremony has come to an end.

In the shot, Ronaldo, a famous Brazilian football player, leads a young player into the stadium.

Ronaldo stood in the middle of the court and played the football, which represented the official start of the World Cup.

The singing gradually dissipated, and the camera shifted to the player tunnel.

Both sides of the opener.

Russia and Saudi Arabia are already in place.

They dedicated the first game of the World Cup, and as the host, the Russian players were full of confidence.

This is their home ground, the first game, they have to win.

"The Russian players are under a lot of pressure. They have to win the first game at home, and they are against Saudi Arabia. In the World Cup, Saudi Arabia is placed in the fourth tier. In this echelon, there is China, South Korea, Japan, Morocco, Panama, Serbia and Nigeria.”

"Their opponents are not too strong, which is good news for Russia."

"In this game, the Russian head coach chose to start Samedov and Smolov, and wanted to rely on their experience to quickly get the team into the game. This is a very risky choice. After all, these two The players are getting older."

"Alright, the game is about to begin!"

"Every landmark in the picture is highlighting this historic moment."

"This is the 88th year in the history of the World Cup and the 21st World Cup. At this important moment, players from both sides entered the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow under the guidance of the referee team, where they will unveil the first World Cup in Russia. a match!"

"Six of the flag bearers in the field are outstanding students from China. Among the different levels of sponsorship, we occupy five sponsorship positions, which represents China's growing economic strength."

"In this World Cup, we are no longer spectators. From the fans to the team, we are all involved."

"Repeat, the Chinese team's game will be played on June 16, at 18:00 Beijing time."

Players from both sides come to their respective halfs and the game is about to begin.

A few seconds later, the shrill whistle was heard all over the world.

The sound of the whistle signifies the official start of the World Cup and the beginning of the worldwide football ceremony.

"The match begins! The match begins! In the opening match of the 2018 World Cup in Russia, the host Russia will play against Saudi Arabia. They will have a 90-minute battle to determine the final winner!"

"We believe that the two national teams will give us a wonderful game!"
