Chapter 1186 Finals Opening (First Update, Please Subscribe!)
Rio de Janeiro gradually began to rejuvenate in the early morning, and soon fell into the frenzy of the World Cup.
The Maracana Stadium, the venue for the final, was surrounded by a large number of fans.
Although the game was to be held in the afternoon, they still enjoyed it.
In the prelude to the World Cup final, many well-known retired stars also appeared in the stadium near the stadium. They either participated in activities or played an exhibition game with fans to heat up the final.
Among these stars are Brazilian players such as Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Cafu, etc.
At the same time, many Italian stars, such as Maradona, Totti, Inzaghi, etc., also came.
Some of them accepted the invitation of FIFA, and some came spontaneously.
On the side of a stadium, Maradona and Cafu were also chatting with a smile.
The old friends hadn't seen each other for a long time, so naturally they had a lot to say.
"It's a pity that we didn't qualify for the World Cup. When we met Croatia in the semi-finals, I had this hunch." Cafu shook his head and said with regret.
For Brazilian fans, that game is not unacceptable, but it is still difficult to look back.
As the host and a representative team of South American football, they were suppressed by Croatia.
After that game, there were some different voices in Brazil. For example, many Brazilian stars said that they should learn from Pele and re-use the tactics with Brazilian local characteristics, rather than blindly copying European tactics.
But the progress is not very optimistic!
"Croatia is really strong in this World Cup!"
Maldini also nodded. After watching Croatia's game, no one would object to this judgment.
"But Germany should not be underestimated!"
"Of course!"
Maldini smiled; "This is worthy of the final!"
On the other side, in front of the camera, German star Ballack said seriously:
"This German national team is undoubtedly the strongest team in recent times. I believe they can show their due performance and they will win!"
Ballack was going to participate in the World Cup as an assistant coach of the national team, but in the end he decided to give up this opportunity.
The reason is also very simple. He left the national team because he had conflicts with many players in the team.
Although Podolski was in direct conflict with him, he knew that there were instructions and support from others behind this.
For this reason, it was very embarrassing for him to serve as an assistant coach, so it was better not to go.
At the same time, looking at the performance of the German team in the World Cup, his heart was extremely melancholy.
In this World Cup, the German team really has the potential to be the champion.
Compared with his period, the German team has more technical midfielders, a more stable back line, and the ability of the forward line is also strong enough.
Ballack has a feeling of being born at the wrong time!
If he had been given this configuration at his peak, he would not have been known as the second in a thousand years.
But it's just a thought!
Different times have different missions. Perhaps he is the foreshadowing for the emergence of this German team.
In any case, as long as the German team can win the World Cup, he is also very happy.
Of course, the unwillingness in his heart is also the same.
The entire venue was very lively outside, with media reporters, famous stars and beautiful models gathered together, and with a large number of fans to create an atmosphere, the atmosphere of the final was extremely warm.
In the two hotels in Rio de Janeiro, as the two teams in the final, Croatia and Germany also completed the final preparations.
"Everyone pack up, we are ready to go, don't forget, this is the World Cup final!"
Besic looked at the players with a serious expression.
Since yesterday, he has been reminding them of the "World Cup final".
He doesn't want to see the players too relaxed, after all, this opportunity may not be available in the future.
He must be aware that this may be the last chance in his life.
Of course, the Croatian players can't relax either. They are waiting for this moment more eagerly than anyone else, so they can't breed any other emotions, and their heads are full of concentration on the game.
The situation of the German team is similar.
They also waited for this day in a tense and expectant mood.
The World Cup final!
The highest honor in football!
After going through layers of selections from all over the world, 32 teams were finally selected to participate in the World Cup, and only two of them can play in the finals!
The winner will stand on the podium of honor and hold the World Cup!
This is an opportunity that many players dream of, and they are naturally looking forward to it.
There is no noise, everything is going on in peace.
The bus heading from the hotel to the stadium is extremely quiet.
Only the sound of car tires pressing on the asphalt road is clearly heard. Most of the players are closing their eyes to rest. The overall atmosphere is both quiet and depressing.
It's like the calm before the storm, and there seems to be a thunder brewing in this calm.
"We're here!"
Besic's voice sounded, and the Croatian players opened their eyes one by one.
The swollen eyes seemed to have a sharp edge, and everyone's eyes were both fierce and determined.
Having come to this step, there is no reason to retreat, and there is no option to give up.
They had no choice but to move forward!
When they got off the bus, both sides were surrounded by Croatian fans.
When they got off the bus, there seemed to be a thunder in the sky.
"Victory belongs to Croatia!!! -"
The intense cheers resounded through the sky, like thunder from the ground.
These fans had fanatical expressions, their voices were a little hoarse, they kept clapping their hands, and constantly cheered for the players.
It was as if they wanted to transfer every bit of their strength to them.
They knew that this group of young people in front of them, they were likely to create a new history for Croatian football.
One by one, Croatian players got off the bus and drove into the stadium to the cheers.
Suk was one of them.
The moment they entered the stadium, the cheers gradually dissipated, and they were not so intense.
At this moment, Suk couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He clenched his hands hard, even if he had a big heart, he couldn't help but feel a tense atmosphere at this moment.
Suker felt his hands were numb, and only rubbing and massaging could relieve them a little.
"Nervous?"
Modric came over and teased.
It was the first time he saw Suker in this situation. Logically, this guy was carefree and slept well on the eve of the Champions League final.
But when he came to the stage of the World Cup final, he was also nervous.
"Take care of yourself!"
Suker turned his head and said.
Modric smiled, he adjusted his breathing slightly, and his damn heart was beating non-stop, as if it was about to jump out of his throat.
Others also had general symptoms!
After all, coming to the stage of the World Cup final, it is related to their four years of hard work, and even determines the height of their careers. How can they not be nervous?
It can be said that the victory or failure of this game has a decisive role in their football history.
On the other side, the German team also arrived at the stadium.
They were in the same situation as Croatia. Everyone remained silent, and Loew also reminded again and again that "this is the World Cup"!
Muller, who is usually very lively, became very quiet and peaceful at this time. Obviously, at this moment, even the live treasure could not withstand this huge pressure.
The preparation before the game is the most tense!
Although the sound insulation in the locker room is very good, they can still hear the voice of the DJ and the music played on the field. After a large number of fans entered, the violent sound waves penetrated into their ears through various gaps.
When the cheers gradually changed from sparse to deafening, everyone's heart was beating violently.
Pa Pa Pa Pa! !
Besic clapped his hands vigorously and encouraged morale: "Okay! We should go out to warm up!"
At this moment, the players stood up suddenly, their expressions were extremely resolute, and they knew that the moment of the decisive battle had really arrived.
"The upcoming game is the Brazil World Cup final, and our Croatia will face the powerful German team!"
In the studio, Markic served as the host to warm up before the game.
Next to him was an old face, former Croatian coach Bilic served as the guest of this game.
As for the main commentator, Klausich, he will provide live commentary for fans at the Maracana Stadium after the game starts.
"This is our first time to reach the World Cup final. This is a strange but nervous moment for us. How can we overcome this emotion at this time?"
Marki naturally asked Bilic.
Bilic exhaled and said, "There is no need to deliberately suppress this emotion. Nervousness is also part of the game. This emotion can quickly drive the players into the game state, and how to use this emotion is particularly critical!"
"But our players are very good at this. Most of them have experience in top competitions and even have the support of many Champions League champions. They can drive other players to digest this emotion!"
No mistakes in one song, one post, one content, one content, one book, one bar, one 6, one 9!
Markchi nodded and continued: "As a veteran team in Europe, the German team has won the World Cup twice. Facing such a strong opponent, how do you think we should deal with it?"
"I think we just need to adjust our mentality. The last World Cup championship of the German team dates back to 1990, which was more than 20 years ago. At that time, it was still West Germany, so we don't need to be afraid of anything. In the recent confrontation, the German team has not won a victory against us. They should be nervous!"
Biliqi's voice is sonorous and powerful!
"Secondly, in the final, we also have many advantages. For example, in terms of stability, we are more stable. At the same time, we also have Suker as a hot spot, so we can fully expect the players to play and enjoy the game to our heart's content, instead of worrying about useless things!"
Bilic's words sounded very comfortable. Although they knew that this guy was avoiding the important issues, they were still willing to listen to them.
But they also understood that this German team was different from before.
This must be a fierce game, and there is no room for carelessness.
Bilic's explanation continued: "I think we can't adopt too conservative tactics, but take the initiative to confront the German team!"
"Germany's tactics show that a concession of a place will only make himself in an unfavorable position. Whether it is rhythm or other aspects, I think it is enough to fight. Since Germany does not let us play comfortably, then we will not let us let us let us let us let us play. They play comfortably, it is precisely we are good at these things! "
"So. I think this game will speed up immediately after the test period is over!"
I have to say that after the grass -roots exercise, Bilic's professional ability has risen a lot.
He is no longer the exaggerated mix, and everything is preferred by conservative tactics. He can now understand the competition and predict the development of the game.
"So, do you think we will take the lead?"
"No!" Bilich shook his head: "Fighting follow -up is not a one -piece. Defensive counterattack is also a way of response. Here are also full of confrontation. I have always emphasized that it is initiative and must not lose initiative!"
"In the World Cup competition, many things are full of variables, especially at the beginning of the game. Both teams are slowly integrated into the game in different ways. Successful people, steals, and shots can improve morale, so that they can speed up the income of the game! "
"This is also what I think is necessary. Controlling active represents who takes the lead in entering the state, of course, this is just my personal point!"
Markich held his headphones and suddenly began to answer: "Yes! We also look forward to the wonderful performance of the guys. Now the field has entered the warm -up session.
The lens switching, the stream of fierce cheers and slogans in the ear.
These voices are deafening together.
And in the gaps of these sounds, Croweich almost shouted with his throat:
"This is the Malacan experience field in Rio de Janeiro. This game venue that can accommodate 200,000 people is already full. The atmosphere of the entire stadium will explode at any time as a gunpowder barrel!"
The camera looked around on a fanatic stand.
You can see the dense crowd, and they are beating the walls that are huge.
They raised their arms like a forest!
Along with a shout, the stadium rang through the stadium.
The camera began to lock the warm -up players in the stadium.
After all, it is the final stage, and almost important players must take care of it.
However, it is undoubtedly Suke that is the most watched. Only in Suk, the most close -ups given by the camera, and the longest time spent.
Even in a few shifts, he quickly returned to Suke.
Whenever Suk's voice appears on the big screen, the audience is cheering and interweaving.
German fans are booing Suke, while Croatian fans have concealed this sound desperately to let Su Ke hear more support.
In the camera, Suk is still the old way.
The only difference is that the eyes are more sharp and fierce, and they will take a deep breath from time to time. These details are showing that Suk's emotions are not so calm.
Of course, it is a normal emotional response in the face of the finals to be calm.
Suk is very good, and the other is worse.
For example, Kovacic and Brozovich are a little nervous.
"Sorry! Sorry!"
Kovacic passed the ball and immediately apologized.
On the other side, Brozovic also looked nervous, constantly licking his dry lips, and even his movements were stiff.
Srner looked at these in his eyes and couldn't sigh slightly:
"Don't use it!"
Suke grinned.
Slner vomited: "After all, it was the first time to participate in the World Cup, killing directly to the finals, and tension is also understandable, and the probability of the two of them in this game is not high!"
Unless these veterans have gone or dragging the game to overtime, they have the possibility of playing.
But according to Croatia's tactics, they will end the battle within 90 minutes.
The longer the game is dragging, the more unfavorable them.
After all, from the perspective of the bench, they still have a certain gap with Germany.
"After the test session is over, I will start pressure, pay more attention to my position!"
Suke said towards Srine.
Srner was worried; "Is it too early? 90 minutes of the game, the outbreak is too early, and the physical fitness is easy to have problems!"
Su Ke smiled and patted Srner's shoulder; "I think you have forgotten my nickname, Lao Tzu can't run!"
Looking at Su Ke's confidence, Slner also got some psychological comfort.
For Croatia, Suk's tactical status did not say.
As long as Suk performs strong, they think that any situation can overcome it and win it.
Soon, the warm -up link was over.
At this moment, the atmosphere of the game became extremely dignified, and even the air seemed to have a depressed atmosphere.
In the locker room of Croatia, Besic stood in the middle, and the remaining players sat on the bench.
The tactics have been emphasized, the starting lineup is also discharged, and various response methods have been completed. Now only waiting for the competition to start.
Looking at the players in front of them, these faces are familiar and unfamiliar.
These are all genius players who have been online from all over the world. They grow up step by step, standing on the stage of the top stadium, and now gathered in the World Cup finals.
As a coach who discovered the players, Besic is naturally proud.
But at the same time, he also has a lot of pressure.
Sometimes, he wonders if he can match these talented players.
Chaotic thoughts passed through his mind, but he quickly cleared them out.
Besic took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
"I emphasize again that this is the World Cup final. We must have a sense of awareness. If we miss this time, there may not be a next time!"
"Therefore, I hope you can show your best performance and best condition in this game. I believe you can overcome the pressure, just like you usually do."
Besic said with a bright look in his eyes: "I believe in you, because you are the children I selected from all over the world. No one trusts your ability more than me!"
Besic pointed to the door of the locker room.
"Go! Go and win the game! Then welcome the cheers that belong to you!"
