No one was surprised that Brazil defeated Croatia 3:1.
After all, Brazil performed extremely well under the leadership of post-90s stars such as Neymar and Oscar.
With the support of Mesozoic players and the use of home court advantage, the Brazilian team's victory was Becomes a matter of course.
However, the Croatian media had a lot to say about the defeat in this game.
Modric, the core player from Valencia, and Rakitic, the core player from Sevilla, maintained full attendance throughout the 2013-2014 season.
In the group stage of the Brazilian team, there were obvious signs that the running was not active enough.
Otherwise, they would not have lost 1:3 despite having a midfield trio.
In addition, top striker Mandzukic received a red card in the last group match of the World Cup European qualifiers and was unable to play in the first game against Brazil.
In their perception, this is also a major factor affecting the outcome of the game. reason.
However, except for the Croatian media who were looking for reasons, many media were praising the Brazilian team's game, especially Neymar and Oscar, who performed well and scored the highest 95 points and 9 points respectively after the game.
There is no doubt that they are the biggest contributors to Brazil's victory in the game.
Therefore, many Brazilian media believe that as long as the performance of Neymar and Oscar can continue, then this World Cup held in the country will no longer be a luxury.
Of course, not all Brazilian players are recognized by the media.
Fred, the main center who wears the symbol of No. 9, has no performance.
Instead, he is laughed at by the world media as the worst No. 9 in the history of Brazil.
Indeed, whether in terms of reputation or strength, Fred cannot compare with any number nine who has worn the Brazilian adult national team in the past.
In addition, he often loses focus on the game field. , became the target of more media bombardment.
Who said this is a world where the weak and the strong eat each other?
When everyone praises the Brazilian team, it is natural to find all the resources that can be used at this suitable opportunity to attract more attention, so Fred became such an unlucky guy.
As time goes by, everyone's attention is focused on the next two games, namely Mexico vs.
Cameroon in Group A, and the focus of Group B: Spain vs. the Netherlands.
Compared with the degree of attention, it is naturally the first battle of Group B between Spain and the Netherlands that attracts everyone's attention, because the opponents of the last World Cup final held in South Africa were Spain and the Netherlands.
In the new World Cup group stage, the two teams had a direct confrontation in the first round, which naturally attracted huge attention.
In particular, this group also has the Chilean team whose strength cannot be underestimated, which makes the situation of this group become delicate.
Therefore, the professional media gave this group a very contagious term "Group of Death".
As we all know, any group of death means that you cannot lose in any game, otherwise you will be eliminated from the group.
As the champions and runners-up of the last World Cup, Spain and the Netherlands did not want to be easily eliminated.
So whether it is Spain or the Netherlands, it is a game they cannot afford to lose.
In a sense, a draw also carries a certain risk, because no one knows what the outcome of the next game will be.
In this way, the game between Mexico and Cameroon has almost become uninterested.
Of course, this statement is only for the domestic media in Mexico and Cameroon.
It is worth mentioning that Aiello is also paying close attention to this game, but his attention is somewhat different from that of the media.
As someone who has experienced it, he is deeply impressed by this game.
Because the defending champion Spain will lose to the Netherlands with a disparity of 1:5 in this game.
Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and he is not sure whether he has affected this World Cup.
Ailuo's thoughts are closely related to the last World Cup.
Although he led the Chinese team to the quarterfinals in the World Cup in South Africa, he was blocked from the semifinals.
The teams that entered the semifinals had the same impression on him.
The winning numbers are exactly the same, and so is the final.
The group matches between Mexico and Cameroon went on as scheduled, but it was a pity that the attraction was not particularly strong, because most fans were focused on the Pantanal Stadium in Cuiabá, where Spain and the Netherlands were preparing to A focus war.
Before the game, the players from both teams behaved very low-key.
They did not attack each other under the ridicule of the media, but focused all their attention on preparing for the game.
In the first three hours of the game, both teams departed from their respective hotels and headed to the competition venue.
The Pantanal Stadium, which can accommodate 43,000 fans, is packed.
From a long distance lens, the entire stadium is surrounded by red and orange.

Of course, there will also be some people wearing yellow jerseys in the middle.
Brazilian fans.
The World Cup is a carnival for all fans, and this World Cup returns to Brazil.
As the host, how could they easily refuse to watch this game up close?
At the same time, all members of the Chinese team came to the conference room of the hotel where they were staying to watch the most exciting game since the start of the World Cup.
In Guardiola's words, now that the Chinese team has the confidence to compete in this World Cup, it must pay attention to any opponent that may appear in the knockout rounds, especially the two teams of Spain and the Netherlands.
Because if nothing else, Spain and the Netherlands will advance, while Chile and Australia are just studying with the prince.
But no one thought that this was not the case.
The starting lineups of both sides in the game were not much different from Aiello's impression.
The Spanish goalkeeper was captain Casillas, the full-backs were Valencia's main full-backs Jordi Alba and Cesar Azpilicueta, and the central defender was La Liga.
Moss partners with Pique.
The changes in the midfield and frontcourt are more obvious.
The three players in the midfield are Xavi from Barcelona, Xavi Alonso from Real Madrid and Xavi Martinez from Valencia.
What's interesting is that when the starting lineup came out, the quick-thinking fans discovered an interesting place.
The three players in the midfield were all Xavi.
What's even more interesting is the Chinese fans.
Because the pronunciation of Xavi is almost exactly the same as the pronunciation of the Chinese word "idiot", the fans nicknamed the Spanish midfield combination as "idiot combination".
On the forward line, Isco is on the left, Diego Costa is in the center, and David Silva is on the right.
Not many people are surprised by this starting lineup.
Valencia has performed extremely well in the past four seasons and it is not surprising to occupy five seats in the starting lineup
