Chapter 1136: The Opening Battle


The Brazilian team's unique appearance was beyond everyone's expectations, and it also attracted cheers from countless fans at the scene.

As time passed, the opening game of the 2014 Brazil World Cup officially kicked off.

The Brazilian players participating in this World Cup may not be the worst Brazilian national team, but they can definitely be said to be the most mediocre team.

In the frontcourt, except for Neymar and Oscar, who are well-known, forward Fred is not known to many people around the world, and the double midfielder partner Gutasvo is only somewhat well-known in the Bundesliga, and his partner Pauli Needless to say, Neo is not famous at all in Brazil.

How can such a mediocre Brazilian team help the historically magnificent five-star Brazil achieve greater success?

Obviously, the journey to the World Cup is a long way to go for this current Brazilian team.

But it has to be said that the Brazilian team still has a certain chance of reaching the end by taking advantage of the home court.

After all, the most important thing in football matches is the attribute bonus from the home court.

On the contrary, Croatia as a whole is not weak.

If you look at the midfield configuration alone, Croatia can even compete with the top players in the World Cup.

The core of their midfield is Modric, who won the Champions League with Chelsea and Valencia.

His partner led Sevilla to win the Champions League.

To Rakitic, the core captain of the Europa League champions.

Coupled with the talented boy Kovacic from Inter Milan, before the game, Croatian coach Blazevic even said: "We are not afraid of anyone because we have the best midfielder in the world."

It is worth mentioning that the German media transfer market revealed that Barcelona has taken a fancy to Croatian midfielder Rakitic.

It is said that as long as the price is right, this transfer will be realized.

The talented boy Kovacic has also attracted the attention of Real Madrid.

If nothing else happens, Croatia's midfield trio will represent the three major La Liga clubs and stage Croatia's international derby.

Brazil and Croatia have only met twice in history.

The first time was a 1:1 draw at the Split Arena in 2005, and the second time was in the group stage of the 2006 World Cup in Germany.

At that time, Brazil The team relied on Kaka's goal to defeat the opponent.

Although the Brazilian team remained undefeated against Croatia, the start of the game was unfavorable for the Brazilian team.

The first goal in the opening game of the 2014 Brazil World Cup came in the tenth minute.

Modric launched an offensive in the middle.

Former Bayern star Olic accelerated directly from the left, and then suddenly appeared fifteen meters away from the baseline.

Sweeping the ball toward the center of the goal, forward Jelavic missed the target.

Coincidentally, Jelavic's shot missed the target, but Marcelo, who was defending in the middle, made a mistake and shot the ball into his own goal.

In other words, the first goal of the 2014 Brazil World Cup appeared, and the first one was an own goal.

It is worth mentioning that Marcelo's goal is also the first goal in the history of the World Cup to be an own goal as the first goal in the World Cup.

I don’t know if the first goal conceded was an own goal, which aroused the players’ fighting spirit.

In the following period, the Brazilian team took advantage of the home court to directly take over the game.

In the absence of the leading striker Mandzukic, I had to retreat for half the game. 22 years old, wearing jersey No. 10, Neymar is the hope of Brazilian fans looking forward to the World Cup.

During the national anthem ceremony before the game, Neymar shed tears while listening to the overwhelming national anthem.

Playing in the World Cup for the first time, he knew that he carried the hope of 200 million Brazilians.

In the following game time, he also showed his super personal ability, causing Croatia's defense to make frequent mistakes.

However, the Brazilian team controlled the rhythm of the game, but seemed to be in a position to lose points.

The players' impatience was fully reflected after losing the ball.

It wasn't until the 29th minute of the game that the Brazilian team relied on Neymar's performance to equalize the score.

At that time, Oscar stole the ball near the center circle and directly launched a counterattack.

Neymar got the ball and rushed forward.

He opened the shooting angle at the top of the arc and shot low with his left foot.

Although goalkeeper Pletikosa reacted quickly, there was still nothing he could do.

The ball missed him.

The right column rolls into the mesh nest. 1:1

This was Neymar's 32nd goal in his 50th national team game.

He rose to tie for ninth on the national team's all-time scorer list, and because of this goal, he became the youngest player in the history of the Brazilian team to reach 50 games.

In addition, this goal is also the first time that Brazil's No. 10 player has scored in a World Cup after the World Cup in South Korea and Japan.

Croatia quickly adjusted its strategy after conceding the ball, focusing more on defense, and showed a defensive attitude only half an hour into the game.

At halftime, the Croatians' tactics were very successful and they entered the locker room with a score of 1:1.

In fact, the game was not within the control of the Croatians.

Although their defense was very good, they were unable to maintain the score.

In the 69th minute, Oscar made a diagonal pass from the wing.

Lovren stretched out his hand to pull Fred.

The latter fell to the ground.

Lovren received a yellow card and gave the Brazilian team a penalty kick.

As the only hope of Brazilian fans in this World Cup, Neymar took the initiative to take this hard-won penalty kick.

He withstood the pressure and shot the ball into the goal, and Brazil took the lead "This is Neymar's 33rd goal in 50 games for the national team.

At a young age, Neymar is already the 10th top scorer in the history of the Brazilian national team, second only to Pele with 77 goals, Zico with 66 goals, and Dafa with 62 goals.

Ronaldo, Romario with 55 goals, Bebeto with 39 goals, Rivaldo with 34 goals, Ronaldinho and Jalkinho, who tied with 33 goals, are tied for the 7th top scorer in the history of the Brazilian team."

At the same time, the commentator on Brazil's national television shouted hysterically, cheering Neymar on.

The game continued, with both sides making personnel adjustments in response to their respective problems.

It wasn't until the 91st minute that Brazil relied on Oscar's goal to expand the score.

Ramirez stole the ball and distributed the ball in one go.

Oscar started dribbling wildly from near the center circle.

Facing the frontal defense of the two Croatian central defenders, Oscar showed no fear at all.

Instead, he chose to pass directly between the two and took advantage of it.

The changes in speed and rhythm found a gap for shooting.

He looked up and saw the opponent's goalkeeper slightly forward.

He stabbed the ball with his right foot at the top of the arc and sent the ball into the lower left corner.

Like Neymar, it is worth remembering that this goal is Oscar's 10th goal in 30 national team games, and it is also his first major goal.

The previous 9 goals all came from friendly matches. 3:1 And this score is also the final score of the game.

The Brazilian team almost defeated the European powerhouse Croatia and won the opening game
