Although many players in the Chinese team have overlap with Uruguayan players, and the strength of the two sides is quite different, the game is likely to be biased toward friendship.
However, Uruguay struggled to qualify from the group stage and the game also reached the semi-finals. stage, so no one wants to give up hope of advancing to the finals.
Even though Cavani and Godin knew how terrifying Aiello was, they all wanted to give it a try.
After all, there is no guarantee that they will lose if they bet.
Previously, they only said hello on social networks, which was the so-called courtesy first and then attack.
There is only a short three-day break between the end of the third round of the group and the start of the semi-finals.
This requires high physical fitness for both sides of the competition.
However, the Chinese team has already confirmed its qualification two rounds ahead of the group stage and has locked in the group.
First, the third round of competition is purely to train the team.
Guardiola will allow those players who are eligible to play but need more games to play in the third round against Mexico to allow more players to rest.
After all, the cup schedule is often very intensive, and it is difficult to reach the end with one lineup alone, so this is a test of the head coach's rotation skills and whether he can stabilize the team's performance in the intensive schedule.
Obviously, Guardiola is such a head coach.
His rotation tactics were very successful, so he defeated Mexico in the third round, thus creating the Chinese team's latest Confederations Cup group stage victory.
China vs Uruguay, Brazil vs Spain, in terms of the degree of attention, Brazil vs Spain is undoubtedly more attractive.
After all, both teams are extremely well-known internationally and belong to the highest level of the football food chain.
The current Chinese team has a strong upward momentum and has reached a high level of strength.
However, Uruguay's finishing strength is inferior to that of the Chinese team, so it does not attract as much attention as the semi-finals of Brazil and Spain.
The semi-final between China and Uruguay will precede the semi-final between Brazil and Spain.
The game will start at 4 pm local time in Brazil on the 27th, which is 3 am Beijing time.
To be honest, this time is not a suitable time for Chinese fans to watch football, but this game did not affect the enthusiasm of Chinese fans to watch football at all, even if there was still high-intensity work waiting for office workers the next day.
Of course, there are also some conscientious companies who know that the national team game, which kicks off in the early morning of Beijing time, will adjust the working hours of employees, temporarily adjusting the working hours from 9 to 5 to 2 to 10 in the afternoon.
And those workers who have not adjusted their temporary working hours can only grit their teeth and persist.
After all, high-level competitions are often held late at night, and they are already fully prepared.
Uruguay is very close to Brazil, so many fans flocked to the Mineiro Stadium on the day of the semifinals.
However, the Chinese population base is large, and there are many citizens or ethnic Chinese around the world.
In addition, as the living standards of the Chinese people improve, they have more and more money in their pockets.
With material satisfaction, they naturally want to meet deeper spiritual satisfaction.
Therefore, this Confederations Cup with the participation of the Chinese team In the semi-finals, there are bound to be a lot of fans who come to cheer and cheer.
If we look at the number of fans alone, Chinese fans have an advantage.
There are even many fans who have booked tickets for the Confederations Cup final at Brazil's legendary Maracanã stadium early.
The 2013 Brazilian Confederations Cup final held at the Mineiro Arena was packed with people, but from the perspective of the stadium camera, the Chinese fans wearing red jerseys far outnumbered the Uruguayan fans wearing sky blue jerseys.
Excluding Brazilian fans who like to watch the Chinese team play, Chinese fans occupy nearly half of the stadium.
In other words, the Mineiro Arena, which can accommodate 57,000 fans, has an influx of nearly 30,000 Chinese fans.
This number is almost like a local battle.
However, Uruguayan fans are very enthusiastic, and the momentum of the more than 10,000 fans from Uruguay was not at all inferior.
If Uruguay wants to defeat the Chinese team in this game, it must rely on goalkeeper Muslera, defender Godin and forwards Cavani and Suarez.
Especially the last three, Godin was the best central defender in world football in 2011 and 2012, while Cavani and Suarez scored more than 70 goals in all competitions throughout the 2012-2013 season.
A force that cannot be ignored.
Coupled with the assistance of veteran Diego Forlan, the two young and promising forwards will receive greater assistance to break the Chinese team's goal.
In addition, in the warm-up match before the 2012 London Olympics, the combination of Cavani and Suarez, who were overage players at the time, both scored the goals of the Chinese Olympic team.
At that time, the Chinese Olympic team's defense had Feng Xiaoting. and Wang Xiaolei.
This shows how terrifying the striker combination of Cavani and Suarez is.
In the match between the Chinese team and Uruguay, both sides naturally presented the strongest lineups.
However, what is surprising is that Uruguay is different from other teams that competed with the Chinese team.
They did not choose relatively conservative defensive counterattack tactics.

Instead, a highly aggressive 433 formation was deployed.
The three forwards were Cavani, Suarez and Diego Forlan.
Countless people looked at the starting lineup given by Uruguay and gave a thumbs up, praising Uruguay for its bloody spirit.
Knowing that the Chinese team's attack group was very terrifying, they did not choose a relatively safe counterattack.
They would rather die standing than live on their knees.
In the words of Sky TV commentator Martin Taylor: "Uruguay's courage is commendable.
It is much better than the hosts Brazil, Italy and Mexico that the Chinese team encountered in this Confederations Cup.
I believe this game will be A thrilling and exciting battle.”
The next game was indeed as Martin Taylor predicted.
The two sides played very proactively under the continuous loud cheers from the stands.
They held high the offensive flag and did not compress the living space of the opponent's offensive players at all.
What the fans saw It's an open attack where you come and go.
This kind of play is extremely exciting and entertaining for neutral fans, but for fans on both sides of the game, every second is spent with fear, and even the heart is hanging in the throat all the time, and there is no need to worry about it.
I know at which second I will jump out of my skin due to too much excitement.
Of course, those with this mentality are basically Uruguayan fans.
After all, the Chinese team is stronger in terms of strength.
If Uruguay wants to win, it must get God's mercy, otherwise it will be impossible to win.
However, what surprised them was that God was really on their side.
Cavani defeated Feng Xiaoting in a goal-attack and headed the ball into the goal guarded by club teammate Wang Xiaolei
