Chapter 50 Acceptance Ceremony
Chapter 50 Acceptance Ceremony
There is only two days of rest between the group stage and knockout stages.
Especially for the Brazilian and Chinese teams, they are the opening match of this knockout round, and they have the bonus of Brazil as the host, so they attract more attention.
During the two-day break, each national football team will compete on their ability to adjust.
Everyone has played three games, so how to make adjustments and recover physically is the key.
The Chinese team's physical fitness has recovered well, and with domestic praise and exaggeration, the players' mental state is also full.
Although the enemy was present, they did not appear to be afraid.
Or fundamentally speaking, they don't feel that they can beat the Brazilian team, so they need to be more relaxed.
On the other hand, the pressure on Brazil is greater.
The Chinese team is not a strong team, and even in terms of results, the emergence of the Chinese team is a plus for Brazil.
But the Chinese team is not a weak team either.
After experiencing the group stage, the resilience of the Chinese team surprised many people.
Draws with the Netherlands and Spain, and a clean victory over Chile are all telling everyone that this Chinese team has the possibility to create miracles.
The overseas players in the team, headed by Lucai, have attracted even more attention.
Especially Lucky, he has become the most difficult target in the minds of Brazilians.
Although they have Neymar, it is unclear how Neymar will perform after playing against Lucky.
Moreover, Lucky is physically strong, and it is precisely this kind of physical confrontation that Neymar fears most.
Oscar is full of fighting spirit. He wants to defeat Lucky on the World Cup stage and prove himself.
Let this nightmare in your heart completely dissipate.
At the same time, he also told the Portuguese through the World Cup.
look! I'm much better than him!
Of course, he didn't know that Mourinho and Chelsea even planned to activate the liquidated damages clause in order to get Lucky.
If Oscar knew this news, he would probably faint from anger.
The city of Belo Horizonte has become a sea of yellow, and a large number of Brazilian fans came to the joints to cheer for their home team.
Although there were some Chinese fans among them, they were completely hidden among the huge local Brazilian fan base.
Brazilian fans are quite friendly.
They did not attack Chinese fans because the Chinese team was their opponent, but welcomed them.
They even watched the Chinese fans' lion dance performance with great interest, and some even joined in.
Here, you can see the blend of cultures.
Chinese lion dance and Brazilian samba dance together!
In a lively scene, fans flocked to the Mineirao Stadium.
This stadium, which can accommodate 70,000 people, is already occupied by fans from both teams.
In particular, Brazilian fans occupied three stands, while Chinese fans occupied one side.
For the first time, Chinese fans felt the home atmosphere from the host country.
"Damn!!! I can't scream!!!"
A Chinese fan shouted depressedly.
The companion on the side said: "This is their home field, how can we possibly shout too loudly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, another huge cheer came from the other side.
Immediately, I saw the crowd on the opposite side begin to surge, spreading along the stands like a wave.
This is the famous Mexican wave.
Waves of people kept coming along the left side, and Chinese fans gave up the idea of competing with each other and joined in one after another.
Comparing your voice with someone else in front of their home is just looking for abuse.
Anyway, for most fans, they never even thought that the Chinese team could advance.
They came simply to enjoy the game and feel the atmosphere.
As long as the Chinese team doesn't play too badly, they will definitely be greeted with flowers and applause.
Suddenly, the cheers on the scene became louder.
Everyone looked towards the stadium.
They saw players from both teams running out of the tunnel.
This is the warm-up session.
After Lucai walked out of the tunnel, he was greeted by a wave of heat and couldn't help but grin.
Really hot!
Looks like another day of dehydration!
When Lucky walked onto the court, the Chinese fans burst into loud cheers.
Of course, it was basically buried.
The Brazilian team on the other side was also warming up, and Lucky also saw the Brazilian team's top star Neymar.
Neymar just joined Barcelona last year and is now in a period of great success. Although Lucky will debut earlier, he cannot compare with Neymar in terms of fame.
After all, he became famous instantly with the reputation of being a genius.
Lucky got through it slowly by relying on it!
Of course, both had heard of each other.
At this time, Neymar had not yet completely blended into the fashion circle, and had a yellow-haired country turtle hair style.
Of course, Neymar, wearing Brazil's No. 10 jersey, is still the brightest kid on the scene.
After a simple warm-up, Neymar picked up a ball from the side and suddenly shouted towards the opposite half:
"Kai!!!——"
Lucky heard someone calling him and turned to look over.
At this time, Neymar suddenly threw the ball into the air, and then passed it with a big kick.
The ball flew quickly, urgently and accurately. Lucky subconsciously puffed up his chest, and the ball immediately completed its unloading and flew into the air.
Lucky held the ball in his hand, somewhat confused.
What does it mean?
"This is a 'reception gift'." Wang Yi came over and said with a smile; "You have to pass it back, or you can pass it around. This is very common in Brazilian internal leagues and represents welcome!"
Lucai suddenly realized it and asked immediately, "How do you know?"
"I played football in Brazil a long time ago!" Wang Yi said.
Lucky nodded, then pointed to Neymar and passed the ball with his big foot.
Neymar easily stopped the ball with the inside of his foot, then gave Lucky a thumbs up and smiled.
Sure enough, the Brazilian fans at the scene started cheering and applauding.
At the same time, Duan Xuan also explained when he saw this scene.
"This is an unwritten rule of the Brazilian League. The 'passing ceremony' of passing the football to away players represents welcome. Of course, this kind of passing ceremony does not always occur, but when the home players particularly appreciate each other or This scene happens when they are friends. Lucky and Neymar have no intersection. Obviously this is the former!"
After this episode, the atmosphere at the scene became more harmonious.
There is less of a smell of gunpowder and more competition on a competitive level.
Of course, this is before the game starts. Everyone is saying hello and me. Things will change after the game starts.
Just like in the Chinese team's locker room at this moment.
Coach Liu Hongbo said with a fierce look on his face: "Brazilian players are very skilled with their feet. When you feel that you can't keep up, just shovel decisively. Of course, you must also pay attention to your movements and try not to take any cards!"
The Chinese team has completely implemented foul tactics.
This is a situation where a weak team beats a strong team and there is nothing that can be done about it.
Now that I'm here, I have to fight for it no matter what!
Otherwise, no one would be willing to accept it!
"Lucky, your position is aimed at Neymar, and he will be left to you." Assistant coach Zhang Chen looked at Lucky and said.
The latter nodded to show understanding.
At present, within the Chinese team, any opponents that cannot be solved are handed over to Lucai. This is the most effective way.
After all, even through coordinated defense, they may not be able to limit Neymar.
Now we can only see if Lucky can carry out one-on-one restrictions.
"Okay! Boys, you have already made history. Don't put too much psychological pressure on yourselves. No matter you win or lose, you are all good!"
Liu Hongbo encouraged; "This game is a tough battle. No one can ask you for anything. It is up to you to decide how to play, so it depends on your own performance!"
"As long as you are strong enough to win, let's have a good time!"
After speaking, Liu Hongbo led the coaches to stand on both sides of the locker room door.
One by one, the Chinese players stood up and walked out, and they followed the coaches with high-fives.
Everyone's expression was extremely serious.
This is their first World Cup knockout match!
It is also the first time for the Chinese team!
This is a completely unfamiliar field, and the opponent is the powerful five-star Brazil.
As Liu Hongbo said, no one can ask them, they just need to play their part.
This is an epoch-making game for China!
It’s also an exploration race!
There is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides!
The other side has the home field advantage!
No one can predict how well the Chinese team can play.
