The World Cup draw ceremony took place long before Lu Yang left for Brazil.
Italy's grouping isn't bad, but it's not good either.
His opponents are the Asian powerhouse South Korea, the North American "king-level" team the United States, and the Italian team's old enemy Spain!
The weakest among them is the US team, but it is indeed the king-level team in North America, because most of its opponents are teams such as Mexico, Costa Rica, Jamaica, Honduras, El Salvador, Canada, and Panama.
Even so, the United States often misses the World Cup.
So the U.S. team is seen as uncompetitive.
But the South Korean team is different. Their football strength is among the best in Asia.
Many of their players play in the Bundesliga, and most of the domestic internationals are main players for European teams.
Of course, the Korean team used to have many players in Italy.
But in the last World Cup, South Korea and Japan did something that was outrageous in football, especially the Italian team.
After that, there was no Korean in the Italian Football League system for eight years.
During this period, the Italian team has never met the Korean team.
Therefore, this meeting between the two parties attracted a lot of attention.
…
The opening ceremony of the World Cup in Brazil was very grand, and South America made a lot of efforts to make this World Cup famous in history.
Especially for South America, they have three huge markets to compete for.
No matter what industry you are in.
These three markets are the United States, Europe, and the rising star...China!
However, the rules and cultures of the three regions and countries are completely different.
The performance of the World Cup opening ceremony needs to control the duration and number of performances.
What pleases European audiences may not satisfy American audiences.
It satisfies American audiences, but may not meet the requirements of Chinese audiences.
This problem can be said to be a huge headache for the South American Football Association.
Until someone mentioned Lu Yang.
The Italian player has conquered European football and is the only winner of three consecutive Champions League titles!
Chinese players, who have invested huge amounts of money and resources in Chinese football, are famously patriotic Italian Chinese!
The best screenwriter in Hollywood, winner of the Grammy Award for Best Single, and the husband of a Hollywood actress!
So the South American Football Confederation and the Brazilian Football Association actively contacted Lu Yang.
However, Lu Yang didn't have much time and had to stay with Sophia in the hospital.
After many mediations and discussions, the plan was changed again and again.
In the end, Lu Yang showed up at the opening ceremony.
He sang Lu Yang's award-winning song "The Shape of Heart" with Shakira, the popular female singer in the South American music scene, which triggered a chorus of chorus from the audience.
After the performance, while the Brazilian team and the Japanese team were preparing for the opening match, the reporter in charge of the live broadcast asked Lu Yang and Shakira some questions.
Reporter: "Shakira, why are you willing to appear at the opening ceremony of this World Cup?"
Shakira: "Because I am very interested in football, I wish my homeland Colombia team well and hope they can get a good result in this World Cup."
Reporter: “Besides Colombia, who else do you think highly of?”
The reporter should be thinking of the Brazilian team. After all, this is Brazil, and Brazil is the World Cup champion of the last and the last one. It is extremely strong and is the only team that has achieved the great feat of winning consecutive championships on the World Cup stage.
Of course, it won’t be surprising if Shakira named France or Spain.
The French team was the champion of the last World Cup. Zizzo became a god in one battle, firmly established himself as the top superstar in world football, and launched an impact on the road to the world championship.
And Shakira also has a lot of activities in France.
As for the Spanish team, it's because Shakira has been active most in Spain besides the United States in the past few years. It is reported that Barcelona superstar Mebarak seems to be pursuing Shakira recently.
Shakira smiled: "Of course it's the Italian team! They are the kings of Europe!"
After speaking, Shakira looked at Lu Yang.
Lu Yang was slightly startled.
He and Shakira... have nothing to do with each other, right?
The reporter was also confused. The answer was unexpected.
Because Italy is currently ranked thirteenth in world football, belonging to the second echelon.
After all, the Italian lineup was too old, and neither the young nor the big ones performed amazingly. Only the two backbones of Moric and Lu Yang stood up.
The "surge" in Italy's rankings is mostly due to Lu Yang's strength in European football.
"I am your fan, Lu, and I am very happy to cooperate with you." Shakira said.
Lu Yang really wanted to respond politely and say that I did too.
But luckily he didn't say anything.
Because Shakira doesn't play football.
If Lu Yang was a fan of Shakira, that would be such a scumbag.
The reporter took advantage of the situation and started asking Lu Yang: "So Lu Yang, what do you think of this World Cup?"
Lu Yang said: "Brazil is a very passionate country, and the air here is full of the flavor of football. Playing here is a pleasure for any player."
"I believe that all the national team players will try their best. Personally, I hope the Italian team can go far in the competition."
Reporter: "How far is it?"
Lu Yang smiled and said: "I think we should watch the Brazilian team's opening game first, so that I can make a more accurate judgment."
For a time, many people expressed appreciation for Lu Yang's language art.
Including Shakira.
This double business is not ten thousand times better than that Mebarak?
Although they all seem to be smart people, Lu Yang is the kind of person who can completely restrain his sharpness and completely unleash his brilliance.
In this aspect, Mebarak was more than one step behind Lu Yang.
After meeting Lu Yang, how could Shakira still like Mebarak?
What's more... I heard that Lu Yang beat Mebarak during his time at Barcelona, and after that Mebarak became one of Lu Yang's most loyal fans.
It is difficult for such a person to win Shakira's favor.
Listen to what Lu Yang said just now. Did he say anything excessive?
No.
But everyone knew about Italy's ambitions.
They want to use the Brazilian team as a reference target.
Brazil, France, and England are the top three teams with the highest probability of winning this World Cup!
Italy, what a dare to think!
In a hotel where the Spanish national team was staying, there was the sound of glasses being smashed.
Ortiz was passing by outside the house and happened to hear the movement, so he asked worriedly: "Mebarak, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
Mebarak's aggrieved voice came from the room: "I'm fine..."
I just lost the girl I love.
This night is destined to be a sleepless night.
Countless fans stayed up all night to finally wait for the first game of the World Cup.
After a ninety-minute fierce battle, the Brazilian and Japanese teams jointly presented an unforgettable classic game to fans around the world!
The Brazilian team is full of talent.
The 3421 formation played well.
Sharp horse in the middle.
The left midfielder Junior and the right midfielder Iseret are a world-class striker trident.
Left midfielder Junior is a world-class player.
Right midfielder Evangelis is a famous general of the Brazilian strong team Palmeiras!
As early as five years ago, many European giants wanted to introduce him. He is a right back player with top combat ability.
But Gelis's wife did not want him to leave Brazil, so he has been unable to transfer.
But now seeing that Junior is famous all over the world, and that his and Junior's abilities are almost the same, but their popularity is thousands of times lower, Gerlis also has the idea of taking a trip to Europe.
The two midfielders are Porto's Enrique Calomiro and Brazilian Atletico Mineiro's Gilberto Apare.
The importance of dirty work players in the midfield has always been underestimated. It was not until after Joseph moved to Chelsea that Real Madrid suddenly became weak and searched all over the world for a midfielder but could not find one. Only then did people pay attention to this type of player.
If you don’t look for it, you won’t know. If you look for it, you will be surprised.
Brazil has produced several technical midfielders in recent years!
Technical + animal waist, let me ask you if you are afraid!
The three central defenders are Emiliano Sasso, captain of Fluminense of Brazil, Lucimar of Sao Paulo of Brazil, and David Marinho of Benfica.
The goalkeeper is the famous Brazilian Corinthians player, Nelson Deda!
Basically, European players and Brazilian league players are evenly divided.
And the scary thing is that the players in these local leagues are not much worse than the players in Europe.
For a long time, Brazilian players were unwilling to come out.
Because they can gain a respected status in Brazil, the football atmosphere here is already very good.
It wasn't until these five or eight years that players like Moreira, Lima, and Junior stood at the top of Europe and earned countless amounts of money. Only then did Brazil's powerful players I regret that I didn’t go to Europe sooner.
Otherwise, what's the deal with the world's best right back, the world's best center back, the world's best defensive midfielder, and others?
Even players such as defensive midfielder Tavares and right back Moruno on the bench of the Brazilian team are now famous, and their earning power is much stronger than that of the senior starters.
Therefore, this summer, many Brazilian players want to land in Europe and are frequently in contact with European agents and clubs.
As long as they perform well enough in the World Cup, they will not be short of buyers.
I am afraid that the price will not rise in a short period of time, and it will become synonymous with cheap and beautiful things.
In this context, it is understandable why this opening game is a classic.
Because Brazil beat Japan 5-0!
The Brazilian team pressed the Japanese team throughout the game. The two full-backs could theoretically become full-backs, but in this game they looked like wingers!
Forget about the Brazilian team's coquettish passing from the back midfielder, their three central defenders also frequently dribbled past others, which made fans all over the world feel numb.
After watching this game, Gudiola slapped his thigh and bluntly said that he bought someone too early!
If I had known that Brazil had so many high-end goods, why would I want to grab Arsenal's Kosciel?
Which one of Sasso, Lucimar and David Marinho does not meet Gudiola's requirements better than Kosciel?
For a player with such skills at his feet, Gudiola has no resistance.
Looking at his own lineup, Gudiola found that there was still a gap in Manchester City's midfielder position. He immediately called the big boss, hoping to bring one of the two midfielders, Carlomiro and Gilberto Apare. Blue Bridge.
Of course, it would be better if you can win both.
The boss readily agreed.
Therefore, after the Brazilian national team only played one game, the media exposed: "Man City offered Porto 30 million euros, hoping to take away Enrique Carlomiro!"
After all, Porto is a European team and has better connections than Atletico Mineiro in Brazil.
Soon, Porto readily agreed.
The two parties settled the transaction at a final price of 36 million euros.
Before this, the market price of Carlomiro was only about 20 million euros!
Rumors that "playing a game for the Brazilian national team will increase your net worth by 16 million euros" began to spread, just like giving this World Cup a boost of steroids, making fans and players even more excited!
Gilberto Apare, another main midfielder of the Brazilian national team, originally wanted to move to Manchester City, but Manchester City's offer to Atletico Mineiro was only 25 million euros.
This offer was quite a lot for the Brazilian team, and Atlético Mineiro almost nodded directly.
However, Apare is dissatisfied with Manchester City's differential treatment.
You know, his status in the national team is higher than that of Carlomiro.
Manchester City simply looks down on him!
So Apare rejected the invitation from the wealthy Manchester City and expressed his dissatisfaction with Manchester City for not respecting him in his words!
…
The Brazilian national team does not seem to resist the transfer of players during the game.
They believe this can stimulate better players.
Nothing inspires these South American players' love for football more than money.
Love won't work, because they relied on love to play football in their early years and have long since used up this fuel.
Compared with Brazil, many countries immediately took corresponding measures.
Maniero summoned all the players of the national team before the game to make it clear that no transfer of any player is allowed before the end of the World Cup!
It is best for the player's agent not to deal with the player's transfer invitation for the time being and to treat it coldly.
If you have special circumstances, you can apply individually with Manero!
Otherwise... he will be directly expelled from the national team, and Manero will never be hired while he is in office!
There's a reason for Manero's attitude.
Think about it, if they are about to face a life-and-death battle with the French team, England team, German team, and Spanish team, before the game, suddenly there is news that Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United, Bayern, and Real Madrid want to buy so-and-so.
Doesn't this disturb the morale of the army?
Of course, Italy can also use AC Milan and Juventus to buy whoever they want to compete with each other.
But...you can’t win!
The influence of Serie A is declining. Only stars are leaving Serie A, and there is no talk of rising stars joining Serie A.
Soon, Italy also ushered in its first World Cup match.
Italy VS South Korea.
In the first half, Perrotta scored a goal.
At the beginning of the second half, Perrotta was viciously kicked by a Korean player and left the field injured.
After Sogel came on as a substitute, he also scored a goal, giving the Italian team a 2-0 lead.
The Korean players went crazy because of this, fouled repeatedly, and received five yellow cards in a short period of time, which was jaw-dropping.
This team showed their superb Taekwondo skills, everyone is a ninth-degree black belt.
In the 75th minute, Chiech retired due to injury and Pirola came on as a substitute.
Finally, a player from the South Korean team was sent off the field with a red card.
In the 80th minute, a South Korean player maliciously raised his leg and kicked Moric without being able to catch the football, which triggered a conflict between the players of both sides.
Lu Yang was the first to break into the group of Korean players, knocking down many Xiba players in succession, killing everyone.
Four players including Lu Yang, Soger, Kanyes and Pirola received yellow cards.
Two players of the South Korean team also received yellow cards. One of them had already received a yellow card and was sent off the field.
Eleven versus nine!
Of course, the reason why the South Korean team had so few yellow cards this time was mainly because Lu Yang moved too fast and directly knocked down many South Korean team players, causing them to lose their ability to get cards.
Otherwise, the Korean team will definitely receive more than two yellow cards.
Later, Manero replaced Molic protectively because he was worried about Molic's injury.
Versage came on as a substitute and provided an assist in stoppage time.
Lu Yang made the final decision and helped the team defeat the Taekwondo team 3-0.
This game sparked a huge discussion after the game.
Representatives of the South Korean team protested strongly: "Why did our player get a red card, but Lu Yang, who hit someone, only received a yellow card?"
This point is to the point.
Because Lu Yang knocked down multiple players in a row. Although he did not use martial arts moves, his behavior was very rough. Logically speaking... it is okay to give him a red card.
But... considering that Lu Yang is an important star of this World Cup and has just sang a song for the host team, the three most important regions in the world are willing to understand and accept Brazilian and South American culture.
Do you really think football is just football?
This superstar whistle is ten thousand times fairer than the NBA, okay?
Otherwise, it is possible to directly expel the Korean team from the field.
Still kicking Nima!
After being questioned by many media, Lu Yang also accepted an interview: "I thought the World Cup was a place for communication through football, but I didn't expect the Korean team to be so keen on spreading their Taekwondo."
"In order not to disappoint them, I can only show my Chinese Kung Fu. I did not get a red card because I was indecisive. Here I want to say sorry to the fans who watched my league game for not letting everyone see it. To full force land."
"If there is a next time, I will definitely not hold back any more."
Lu Yang's words quickly became headlines in major European media.
One is that everyone has a bad impression of the Korean team.
Of the two, Lu Yang is the one in the European mainstream.
In the same argument, people tend to prefer the one they are more familiar with.
This is the so-called "international mainstream".
Those voices that are not part of the international mainstream, even if they are correct, are likely to be misunderstood and distorted.
This is also one of the purposes of Lu Yang's cooperation with domestic football during his stay in Italy.
The country also hopes to gradually enter the European mainstream through football, so that it can have the opportunity to make its voice more valued, understood and respected!
From this dispute between the Italian national team and the Korean national team, and the unanimous criticism of the Korean team after the game.
Many people in the domestic media industry and publicity industry see hope.
We must seize two channels to strengthen our voices and enter the international mainstream to speak out. In the short term, both are indispensable.
This also strengthened some domestic ideas.
Some domestic families, consortiums, companies, and circles have begun to contact professional football professionals such as Tang Yuqin, hoping to make Chinese capital more present and louder in European football.
Tang Yuqin worked hard, and under the background of the World Cup, frequently invited UEFA President Maltifni, La Liga President, Premier League President, etc. for talks.
The arrival of Chinese capital is a foregone conclusion!
On the other hand, Italy has set off a new round of self-examination activities to boycott Korean players.
You won’t know if you don’t check, but you’ll be shocked if you check.
There are actually two Serie B teams with Korean players in their youth teams!
The Italian Football Association immediately required the offending team to expel the Korean players and impose a fine of 10,000 euros and two points next season.
This can be said to be very serious.
So far, there are no more Korean movies in Italian football!
In the first match of this group, between Spain and the United States, the Spanish team spent 90 minutes showing everyone what "squandering" means!
Their ball possession rate was as high as 81%!
A whopping twenty-nine shots were taken!
But he only scored one and the only goal in the 83rd minute!
Ortiz assisted Enriquez to score.
Dominguez and Talista's feet felt terrible in this game.
The midfielders and full-backs of the Spanish national team also fired anti-aircraft guns randomly.
Some people think this is the result of the intensification of the feud between Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Although the two clubs have always been bitter rivals.
But last season, Barcelona defeated La Liga on land, giving Barcelona fans a chance to feel proud.
This season, continental Real Madrid once again pushed Barcelona to the ground and rubbed them.
The conflict between the fans on both sides was completely intensified and could never be calmed down.
The same goes for players.
The Spanish national team, dominated by Barcelona and Real Madrid, was simply divided into two teams in today's game.
No one gives in to anyone.
No one passes the ball to anyone.
It made Talista and Dominguez, two Chelsea people, baffled.
Not to mention that your feet feel bad, but the key point is that they won't pass the ball to you, so they ask you if you are angry!
Fortunately, at the last moment, Ortiz and Henriquez both showed their potential under the threat of a draw and played a wonderful cooperation.
After the game, reporters interviewed the two and asked them how they scored the last goal.
Ortiz replied: "I saw an opportunity, and I wasn't sure if anyone could seize it. But in dangerous moments, I thought of Lu. If it was him, he would definitely be able to see, run, and score!" "
Enriquez: "I don't know if the football will be passed. According to the situation of this game, it probably won't. But in that case, I can only choose to believe in my teammates. If it is Lu, he will definitely I will pass the football over, for sure!”
The Spanish media couldn't laugh or cry about this.
Does co-authorship mean that our Spanish national team is missing a player?
Talista and Dominguez were not happy to hear this.
Together, these two strikers are worth 120 to 300 million!
Not much different than a land.
Whether you, the Real Madrid gang or the Barcelona faction, can't you pass the ball to Chelsea?
In this regard, Real Madrid and Barcelona players said that if you are still an Atletico Madrid player, you can still say it, but Chelsea... I can only be sorry!
The Premier League and La Liga are mortal enemies!
Spanish fans will not welcome stars who move to the Premier League.
This transfer of Dominguez was almost ridiculed by Spanish fans.
In this regard, Dominguez also expressed that he was wronged.
Chelsea in La Liga and Atletico Madrid in Premier League are all one family!
They are all leaders in the bus style. It may seem like I have changed teams, but in fact the spirit of counterattack has not changed.
Subsequently, the first round matches of other groups were also released one after another.
Some are in very good shape, such as Brazil, France, and England.
There are also teams whose status is worrying, such as Italy, which has injuries, Spain, which does not have shooting boots, and Argentina, which was held to a draw.
There are also surprises, such as the German tank, which lost two consecutive own goals, and Portugal, which was suppressed by the opponent throughout the game and did not even have a chance to shoot in a sports match.
This World Cup has been extremely popular from the beginning.
On June 19, the second round of Italy’s group kicked off.
Italy VS America!
