Chapter 4 Opening Game
"We believe that the two national teams will give us a wonderful game!"
yes!
The game was exciting, or rather intense and hot!
From the beginning of the game, Russia launched waves of onslaught.
Saudi Arabia didn't mean to be cowardly either. The two sides collided like two iron-headed children.
While overall Russia is attacking, Saudi Arabia is defending.
But there is a strange feeling.
…
In the hotel where the Chinese team stayed, Lippi led the starting players to watch the opening game.
The starting list has not been announced, but the internal starting list has been determined.
It is the same as the lineup during the World Cup qualifiers. This is the strongest lineup of the Chinese team. Lippi hopes to show momentum in the first game.
Before, Lippi had already relayed that the players should not be injured.
The players in the Chinese Super League are okay, but he can't control Yi Le, so he is extremely worried.
Yi Le is the thickest thigh in the Chinese team, no one can lack Yi Le.
After Yi Le returned to China, Lippi immediately asked Yi Le to go for a physical examination. The result was very good. Yi Le was in good health. Due to the high-intensity Champions League, his muscles were a little tired, but now he has almost recovered.
Everyone was watching the game. On the TV, the Russian commentator Barabara spoke non-stop, speaking extremely fast, including Yi Le, they couldn't understand at all.
Fortunately, they are direct players, and they don't need commentators to read the game. They have their own unique analysis.
Seeing this fiery hand-to-hand combat, Yi Le's expression became more and more strange, and he couldn't help muttering: "They look like they are fighting!"
As soon as Yi Le finished speaking, the translator conveyed the sentence to Lippi.
Lippi turned his head to look at Yi Le, and said, "See clearly, this is the World Cup."
"The World Cup is much more popular than other competitions. After all, this is a fight for national honor. No one wants to lose a game!"
"This is extremely painful for them!"
"And, in the World Cup, the pressure is not a joke. Everyone wants to express themselves, and it is normal for the game to be hot. This is just the beginning, and it will be more lively in the future."
As soon as Lippi finished speaking, Russia began to shovel.
Gasinski and Zobunin directly turned into goalkeepers, aggressively invading, and firmly guarding the defensive belt in the backcourt.
The Saudi player Al-Sahrawi wanted to break through, but was knocked out of the sideline by Zobunin. He rolled on the ground several times and hit the billboard heavily.
Seeing this scene, even Zheng Zhi couldn't help but gasped and choked out a sentence.
"It's so cruel!"
Yi Le also grinned involuntarily. He looked at the referee and found that the other party had no intention of playing cards.
It seems that the penalty scale of the World Cup should be looser.
In other words, the popularity of this game forced the referee to make more cautious decisions.
The popular guess is that Russia is on the offensive and the Saudis are on the defensive.
Even professional players such as Yi Le think so.
The direction of this game is also very normal. Russia played very vigorously, and it was a terrible mess.
Seeing that the referee's penalty scale was loose, Russia began to foul frequently.
This caused dissatisfaction with the referee.
People are floating in the rivers and lakes, how can they not be knifed.
It's just that the knife fell on Zagoyev.
A topaz card directly stunned Zagoyev.
Is this a sign?
I just bumped into it lightly, didn't I see that Zuo Buning started kicking?
He ran to the referee and said excitedly: "It's my first time!"
The referee was indifferent and said: "Yes, but you did make a foul!"
Zagoyev wanted to fight again, but he saw the referee's unfriendly eyes, and immediately swallowed the next words.
He didn't want to be sent off with a red card.
It's only 9 minutes.
Zagoyev has taken a card. This is the referee's warning to Russia, signaling them to restrain themselves.
And this yellow card did act as a deterrent, and Russia's frequent foul actions disappeared.
But their attack is still fierce!
In 10 minutes, there was a gap on the left side of Saudi Arabia, and Yi Le quickly shouted: "Good opportunity!"
Both the Chinese players and Lippi were attracted by the cry, and couldn't help but stare at it with wide eyes.
It's just that in the game, Zagoyev chose to pass back.
Seeing this scene, they all turned their heads to look at Yi Le again, as if asking.
Where are the good opportunities?
Yi Le frowned and explained: "Golovin on the left wing has already activated, and there is a space behind Saudi Arabia's No. 17 midfielder. Zagoyev could choose to kick a curved ball and directly penetrate Russia's defense, but he didn't." If you do that, it's a pity for this ball!"
Hearing this, the Chinese players grinned in unison.
Sorry, we seem to be blind and didn't see this neutral.
On the other hand, Lippi raised the corner of his mouth and smiled at the assistant coach on the side; "It seems that our midfield is in good shape."
Madaloni nodded and said, "It seems that there was indeed a gap just now, but the passing path is too narrow, and ordinary players cannot pass it."
"Yes!" Lippi nodded and smiled: "But our midfielder is not an ordinary player! We are very lucky to have one of the strongest midfielders in the world!"
Madaloni also greeted with a smile on his face: "That's right!"
…
Zagoyev's state is very poor, or the yellow card made him afraid to make moves.
Many people can see this.
Seeing this scene, Lippi couldn't help saying: "Russia is about to change."
As soon as the words fell, taking advantage of a dead ball, the fourth official held up the sign for substitution.
Zagoyev is off!
Enter Cheryshev!
"It seems that Russia is ready to attack with all its eggs in one basket!"
Lippi couldn't help squinting his eyes. Many World Cup coaches are adventurous.
When the team is not running in well, substitutions are a good way to get immediate results.
"Compared to Zagoyev, Cheryshev is a pure offensiveist. Compared to an organizer, he is more like a shadow forward, an assassin hidden behind the center. He... ..”
Before the words were finished, Russia sent a free kick.
Zobunin made a direct big-foot pass, and the Russian striker competed for the top.
Under the cover of center Slomov, Cheryshev took off from the back point and scored the goal directly with a lion shake.
Seeing this scene, Madaloni grinned and said, "The game is over!"
…
"There it is! The first goal of the 2018 World Cup in Russia was completed by Russian No. 11 player Cheryshev. He broke the goal of Saudi Arabia in only two minutes of playing. The substitution of Russian coach Cherchesov is very important. It's important!"
With Cheryshev's goal, the entire Luzhniki Stadium boiled.
This is the home court of the Russians, they cheered wildly, they were crazy for this goal.
Ulla~~~~~~Ulla~~~~~~Ula~~~~~~~~~~
The entire stand was surging like a tsunami.
The Russian fans jumped up, hugging and shouting excitedly.
