Fox in the Penalty Area - Chapter 237 The slowly unfolding red carpet

.

Portugal, one of the hosts, lost 0:1 to Norway, the weakest team in the group, in front of nearly 50,000 home fans at the Lisbon Arena.

It opened the curtain of this World Cup with an upset.

Next up are the remaining two teams in Group A, Colombia and Senegal.

This is the first appearance of South American teams and African teams in this World Cup.

Colombia is 15th in Fifa, which is very high, while Senegal is 22nd, the second highest ranked team in the third tier, behind Nigeria, the third tier team in Group H, which is 1st. twenty.

In the end, they each scored a goal and had a 1:1 handshake.

After the first round of the Group A match, the seeded team and the host Portugal ranked last.

Fortunately, Colombia and Senegal were tied, and Portugal was not completely left behind.

The next day, the first Asian team appeared in the World Cup.

The Japanese team played against Croatia.

The 27th-ranked Japanese team in FIFA is also the highest-ranked team among all AFC teams participating in this World Cup.

It is different from four years ago when Morikawa Junpei and Sugiyama Tatsuya could only sit on the bench to watch the game.

In this World Cup, both of them have grown into the core midfielders of the Japanese team.

However, in the first group match, whether it was the Japanese team or Croatia, they played very cautiously.

Perhaps it was because of Portugal's upset loss to Norway in the opening game of the World Cup, which caused everyone's mentality to change.

This is the first game of their respective World Cups, and some people may not have entered the rhythm of the World Cup.

It is especially easy to make mistakes and lead to losses at this time.

Maybe both the Colombian and Senegalese teams thought so in the last game...

In short, the Japanese team finally played 0:0 with Croatia, which is ranked sixteenth in FIFA.

The first game without a goal in this World Cup was born.

The Japanese team and Croatia played cautiously, but there was no need for Brazil in the same group. Their opponent was Mali, the weakest team in the group.

Brazil, the runner-up of the last World Cup, is still the favorite to win the World Cup, especially after Kabanka showed a fiery state in the club.

In this game, Cabanca also lived up to expectations. As the representative star of this World Cup, he contributed two assists, first helping the team's left back Rafael Fonseca to open the scoring for Brazil, and then assisting Lesigno to score A goal to seal the victory.

With these two assists, Kabanka won his first "best of the game" in this World Cup.

With this victory, the Brazilian team also ranked first in the group stage, laying a solid foundation for qualifying in the group - as long as they beat the Japanese team, they will be able to qualify in advance.

The final game of the day is France against Iran in Group C.

Ismail Kamara, who could only watch the World Cup at home four years ago, has become the thigh of the French team in this World Cup.

He performed well in the game, sent an assist and scored a goal. While winning the best of the game, he helped the French team beat Iran 4:1 and gave the Asian team their first defeat.

On June 16, the World Cup competition entered its third match day.

Another group match in Group C kicked off with a whistle today, and Uruguay beat Russia 1-0.

Although the former "Terrible Ivan" Romanov has not retired, he has withdrawn from the Russian national team after the European Cup two years ago.

Compared with four years ago, the Russian national team that lost this "nuclear bomb" has seriously declined in strength. It is considered lucky to lose only one goal.

In the World Cup four years ago, Russia broke out of a group with Algeria, China and Brazil, and entered the round of 16 as the second place in the group, but it stopped there.

Four

This year's World Cup, they may not even make it out of the group stage.

The second game of the third match day is

.

Group d Poland and Mexico.

There are old acquaintances of Chinese fans on both sides of this game-forward Dominic Laski on the Polish side, and high center Sanabria Ruiz on the Mexican side.

Lasky has now grown into Leeds City's number one striker. He scored 28 goals for Leeds City in all competitions last season, which is the season with the most goals since joining Leeds City. His outstanding performance also helped Leeds City finally get fourth in the league and win the qualification for the Champions League next season.

Although the 34-year-old Ruiz is a substitute in the Madrid Pirates, he is the main force in the Mexican national team.

In the end, the two old acquaintances of the Chinese fans each scored a goal in the game, and Poland also shook hands with Mexico 2:2.

In the third game, Germany and Morocco in Group D faced each other.

Young centre-forward Janus Erdelmann, who shined in the Ruhr-Rhein last season, got the chance to @start in his World Cup debut.

But maybe he was too excited. Although he was active, he failed to score.

It was his striker partner, the previous generation of "German striker" Mark Becker, who scored a goal in the game.

In the end, the German team defeated Morocco cleanly 2:0.

The first contest of the fourth match day is a game that fans all over the world pay close attention to:

Costa Rica vs. Argentina.

Brazil's Cabanca has made his debut and has performed well.

Now the pressure is on Melly.

And Meli responded with a beautiful direct free kick.

He was also elected the best player in the game after the game.

Argentina finally defeated Costa Rica 3:1.

In another game in the same group, Belgium defeated the new European champion Czech Republic 2:1.

Belgian goalkeeper Jonathan Hewell even saved the Czech Republic's top penalty shooter Michael Turecek in the game. He is also the first goalkeeper to save a penalty in this World Cup.

The Belgian "Old Father" of the Madrid Pirates really lived up to his reputation!

Of course, the Czech goalkeeper Jakub Rabina, who played for Leeds City, also performed very well, blocking the indiscriminate bombing of Belgium. Although conceding two goals, he is still the player with the highest score in the Czech team after the game.

The first game of Group F also kicked off on this day, Chile and Switzerland tied 0:0.

The game was the second goalless match of the tournament and is considered the worst so far.

The weak Chile faced the defending Switzerland, and the game was dull and boring, which made people want to sleep.

The match was held at 3:00 a.m. on the 18th, China's domestic time. In addition, the two teams did not have any big-name stars during this time period, so many Chinese fans didn't watch it at all, and escaped unharmed.

If it was played at 9 o'clock in the evening, it is estimated that many Chinese fans would be very upset-you can show us this in prime time? !

June 18, the fifth match day of the World Cup.

The day before the Chinese team game.

The prime-time game is the Netherlands vs. Saudi Arabia.

At the same time, this game is also the first World Cup game of Maxi Carey's career.

Yes, the famous Dutch superstar didn't play in the World Cup for the first time until he was thirty-five years old... It's pathetic.

It's actually not easy for him. After all, when he chose to leave the Madrid Pirates and join a team that played in the Europa League, many people thought that he basically bid farewell to the Dutch national team and the World Cup.

Unexpectedly, after the adaptation period in Leeds City, he became the absolute core of the main force, and he also became the core of the Dutch national team.

The same outstanding performance is the number one contributor to the Dutch team's ability to reach the World Cup finals with the first place in the group.

Carey, who participated in the World Cup for the first time, also went through an adaptation period-his performance in this game was relatively mediocre and did not meet people's expectations of him.

.

The performance of the Dutch team was not satisfactory, but they still beat Saudi Arabia 1-0 without any risk.

The second match was played by South Korea against England.

This game also gave birth to the first big score game of this World Cup.

England beat South Korea 5:1!

Although Park Chun-tae, the former light of Asia, used a penalty kick to open the scoring for the South Korean team in this game, which once made fans all over the world think that "England will overturn", "Korea will become the first Asian team to win" and so on. a feeling of.

But England, which quickly adjusted, took away the South Korean team with a stormy offensive.

Leeds City's main midfielder Pete Williams contributed two assists in this goal feast, which was an eye-catching performance.

This is his second World Cup and his first as a main player in the England national team.

After experiencing the bitterness of the failure of the national team in the 2028 European Cup in France, he has become more mature.

Seeing six goals in one game, and seeing the South Korean team lose badly at the same time, made the Chinese fans very happy.

Even though it was already two o'clock in the morning after the game ended, Jianzhong Network was still full of firecrackers, gongs and drums, and huge crowds of people.

What Asian glory?

When will Chinese fans empathize with Korean fans? !

In the past, when the Chinese team did not enter the World Cup, many Chinese fans would rather cheer for the Japanese team than hope that the Korean team would win.

After South Korea's match against England, the final game of the day was the United States against Sweden.

The Swedish striker Edmond Paterson, who had been confirmed to leave the Catalan United before the World Cup, scored twice in this game to help Sweden draw with the United States 2:2.

However, Chinese fans no longer pay attention to this game.

Many didn't even watch it at all.

The purpose is to recharge your batteries and watch the game between the Chinese team and Spain at midnight on the 20th.

That was the first appearance of this highly anticipated and anticipated Chinese team in this World Cup.

It is also the second World Cup for "Shi Yifeng" Hu Lai.

The game between the Chinese team and the Spanish team is the last game of the first round of the group stage.

In the previous fifteen games~www.novelbuddy.com~ those good and bad, wonderful and not wonderful moments, those famous or unknown players, good or bad performances, various reports from the media , heated discussions on the Internet... All these things finally became a red carpet, slowly unfolding in front of the players of the Chinese and Spanish teams.

Welcome them to this world-renowned stage.

※※※

ps, after two days of rest, the World Cup reignited.

Now every scene is the highlight.

Today's first game between Croatia and Brazil, with Brazil's state, as long as it is not dragged into overtime by Croatia, it will be difficult to lose, right? I think Brazil can beat Croatia by at least two goals.

In the second match between the Netherlands and Argentina, I am still optimistic about Argentina as always.

It is estimated that Argentina beat the Netherlands by one goal!
