Champion’s Heart

v6 Chapter 13 - The strongest group



The match between South Korea and Russia is the final of the first round of the group stage.

After playing, the second round of the group stage followed.

The Group A team debuts again.

This time the host will face Mexico, as long as the Brazil team can beat Mexico, then they have already won two consecutive victories and they will get the group qualifying in advance.

However, in the cheering of Brazilian fans, the Brazil team, which is famous for its offense, was collectively misfired. After ninety minutes of struggle, the two teams eventually scored 0:0 and no one scored!

The two teams have the same four points, but Brazil ranks first in the group by virtue of their goal difference, followed by Mexico.

Another game in this group, Croatia and Cameroon will have to wait until the afternoon of the next day, so it is not clear at this time what the final qualifying situation of this group will look like.

※※※

On June 18, the first game of the day was a match between the Chinese team and the Dutch team.

The game time is 1 pm local time in Brazil. Although the southern hemisphere is winter at this time, for Brazil on the equator, no matter whether it is winter or summer, there is no difference. The noon sunshine is still very blazing.

This makes the fans of the Chinese team more worried about what the team can play.

In the dressing room of the home team at Bellario Stadium, the Chinese players are making final preparations.

In this game, the Chinese team won the home team sign. It stands to reason that the Chinese team’s home jersey is actually a white set, so the Chinese team should wear a white jersey to face the Dutch team. The Dutch team’s home jersey is orange, which does not hit the color and can be easily distinguished.

But there is a vote in the Chinese team, because everyone is not very satisfied with this white jersey. Using superstition, it is the same as mourning, which is too bad and unlucky. Everyone doesn’t like this white home jersey sponsored by Adidas.

Zhou Yi is also a person who dislikes white jerseys, but his aversion to white jerseys started when he was a fan. At that time, the Chinese team’s home jersey was white.

He never understood that our national flag is red and our people’s favorite color is red. Why is the home color of our national team’s jersey even white? White is equivalent to “mourning clothes” in most places in China. As long as the funeral is held, you can see a large area of ​​white…

He always thought that the red set was the home jersey. Later, he realized that he had made a mistake and that white was!

Compared with white, he prefers the red Chinese team jersey.

There are many people who think the same as he thinks. As a result of that vote, most people hope that red will replace white as the color of the home jersey.

In the last match against Chile, the Chinese team won the away team sign. If according to Adidas’ regulations on the Chinese team jersey, white is the color of the home jersey and red is the color of the away jersey, then the Chinese team should wear red. As a result, the Chilean home shirt signed by the home team was red. Chile certainly chose their representative color red-their national flag also has red. So in order to avoid hitting the color, the Chinese team can only wear white jerseys.

As a result, the game that should be won did not win…

So this time, although the Chinese team won the home team sign, they still chose to pass the “away jersey” red set.

In this way, the Netherlands can only give up their favorite orange jerseys, the white set should be worn.

Now, the Chinese team players wearing red jerseys are in the locker room, listening to coach Lippi: “The Netherlands is very strong, this is beyond doubt. It can be said that they are the most powerful team in this group. But It’s not our reason to admit defeat. If we want to qualify, then this game can’t be lost. For us, this is a battle of survival. If we lose, we die. The situation is very critical, but I heard that there is a saying in China It’s called’Let’s die and then live.’ I don’t think there is anything more suitable for this sentence than this time.”

“Let the Dutch look at our beliefs!”

In this game, Lippi made a local adjustment to the Chinese team’s starting lineup, that is, replaced the last center Gao Lin than the starter and replaced Wu Lei.

Then let He Ying go to the middle road, Yan Min and Wu Lei left and right.

This is a typical counterattack lineup. He Ying, Yan Min, and Wu Lei all have speed and all have certain individual combat capabilities.

In addition, He Ying is also a very versatile forward who can also play an offensive fulcrum in the frontcourt.

On the Dutch side, Van Gaal maintained the same starting lineup as the last 5:1 victory over Spain, and did not make any adjustments.

The Dutch team played really well in Spain. Van Gaal, as the team’s head coach, has no reason to make any adjustments to such a smooth lineup.

When winning, adjustment is not necessary.

This Dutch team is in good shape and they are confident of sweeping any opponents in front of them. Whether it’s Spain or… the Chinese team.

This Chinese team does have some players who have performed well in the European League, but the most important Zhou Yi is not. In fact, in the mind of the Dutch team, the Chinese team’s threat level has dropped a lot.

Van Gaal carefully studied the video of the game between China and Chile before the game, especially in the first fifteen minutes, to see how the Chile team led the Chinese team by two goals in a short time.

He thinks this has reference significance for his team.

Of course, in the end, the Chinese team pulled back, but Van Gaal believed that it was because of the Chilean team’s own problems, they made a mistake, and the strength of the Chilean team did not have an advantage over the Chinese team. , Then it is normal and fair to tie in the end.

The Netherlands is not Chile. Once the Dutch team achieved a two-goal lead, the Chinese team is absolutely impossible to equalize.

After the game started, the Dutch team did launch a violent attack like the Chinese team’s goal. Their goal was clear. At the beginning of the game, they used their speed to break through the Chinese team’s defense line. They were caught by the Chinese team by surprise. Two goals inside. Just like Chile.

Then next, the game will not develop like Chile.

Five minutes into the game, the Chinese team took possession of the ball in the midfield. Yang Hao was a little hesitant when he took the ball, and he should have passed forward. As a result, he didn’t know who to pass to, and was immediately posted by De Jong.

De Rong’s fierce reputation was well-known. Yang Hao was a little swayed and turned around quickly, trying to protect the football. As a result, he had just turned around and Sneijder forced him up again.

These Yang Hao can’t care about the others at all, they can only rush back to pass the football!

However, because the pass back was too hasty, Zheng Zhi didn’t receive the ball, Yang Hao missed the pass, and instead let Zheng Zhi’s Robben intercept the ball!

Robben who intercepted the ball turned and kicked the football straight forward!

Then he started to accelerate and forced to break through the Chinese team defender Feng Xiaoting in front of him at his own speed.

Although he was still some distance away from Feng Xiaoting, but his speed was too fast. He came first and received football on the big penalty area line.

“Robben-dangerous!” He Ping exclaimed.

However, in this process, Feng Xiaoting did not give up, he was also sprinting to force Robben.

In his pursuit, Robben received the ball, but did not completely throw him away.

So when Robben took the ball on the big penalty area line, he found that Feng Xiaoting had chased back!

This was somewhat unexpected.

Maybe it was shocked by this accident,

Next Robben made a mistake when dealing with the ball again. He tripped the football out, but when he was about to speed up, he fell softly and did not kick…

Feng Xiaoting quickly protected the football and gave it away to Sun Pan.

False alarm.

“It’s risky, it’s risky… Robben’s feet are weak at the last moment, otherwise the ball is really dangerous… The Chinese team should be careful, such mistakes can not happen again in the midfield…” The change of person is He Ping, who usually explains La Liga and the Champions League.

And his partner is domestic football commentator and coach Gong Lei.

“Yang Hao is too sticky to deal with the ball. He should know his position. He is not an organizer. He must deal with the ball decisively and give the football to his teammates. Don’t think about sending a deadly pass… A clean and clean waist is the best…” Gong Lei also criticized Yang Hao’s treatment of football just now~www.mtlnovel.com~ Fortunately, Feng Xiaoting did not give up on the defense of this ball, although Robben was thrown by speed Open, but still chasing after all, and finally caught up in the penalty area…”

“Actually, Feng Xiaoting’s speed is not slow. He is one of the few central defenders with excellent sprint speed.” Gong Lei is the head coach of the Chinese Super League team. He certainly understands the situation of players playing in the country. “Rippie must have strengthened the team’s requirements on defense. The defensive players’ attention was clearly focused. The ball was just an accident just now, but Feng Xiaoting’s response was also very quick. Our bottom line in this game is not to lose, So defense is very important…”

Robben, who missed this opportunity, laughed helplessly in the close-up.

The Dutch TV narrator cannot understand why Robben’s legs softened at the most critical moment…

“…But it doesn’t matter, the game has just started five minutes, we still have a chance!”

Finally, he gave the Dutch fans in front of the TV confidence.
