At 7 p.m. the day after the semi-final between China and Brazil ended, the Corinthians Arena started the second semi-final of this World Cup, and the winner of this game will be decided four days later at 8 p.m.
Zhong challenged the Chinese team, ranked No. 1 in the FIFA world, at the Maracana Stadium.
As the World Cup enters its second half, fans' enthusiasm shows no signs of fading, but is growing even stronger.
The World Cup, held every four years, is a feast that no football fan can miss.
Because I missed one term, I will have to wait another four years.
How many four years are there in a person's life?
Closer to home, Aiello and other members of the national team and relevant senior officials of the Football Association watched the semi-final between Argentina and the Netherlands in the conference room of their hotel.
Before the game, football experts had mixed reviews for the game.
Some experts believe that Argentina led by Messi is invincible, and only the Chinese team led by Aiello has the strength to compete with them.
The Dutch team can only compete with the Brazilian team for third place.
But some experts are more optimistic about the Dutch team.
After all, the experience of this Dutch team is unparalleled.
Compared with some new faces in the Argentine team, many Dutch players have sufficient experience in international competitions.
The Netherlands with a healthy Robben is as sharp as the Chinese team with Ai Luo.
Coupled with the support of veteran teammates such as Robin van Persie and Sneijder, this Dutch team was even called by the Telegraph second only to the national team led by Cruyff.
Especially the 5:1 victory over defending champion Spain in the opening game of the group, avenging the loss to their opponents in the 2010 World Cup final, amazed all the fans.
Therefore, experts supporting the Netherlands also have sufficient basis to believe that the Dutch team can defeat Argentina and enter the final.
There is still an hour before the second semi-final, and the stands of the Corinthians Arena are already packed.
Argentinian fans wearing blue and white striped jerseys and Dutch fans wearing orange jerseys are clearly distinguishable, completely filling the entire stadium.
Fill up.
On the north side of the stands, where Argentine fans gather, there is a huge poster of Messi.
In the poster, Messi is holding the Hercules Cup, which symbolizes the championship, and at his feet is the captain of the Chinese team with a begging expression.
There are eye-catching English words on the edge, to the effect that: Messi is the only one who defeated Ai Luo, so he will enter the final.
It must be Argentina.
What's interesting is that there is also a huge poster hanging in the south stand.
The portrait of Peter Pan Robben is lifelike and very expressive.
He raised his arms and shouted.
There is also a row of text written under the figure, to the effect of: A healthy Alger will definitely be able to lead.
We enter the final "It's really interesting."
Ai Luo, who was far away in another city, murmured to himself while sitting on a chair.
At the same time, he was also guessing in his heart, who would be his opponent in the final?
According to the original trajectory of history, the unsurprising opponent will be Argentina led by Messi.
Of course, in Aiello's heart, Argentina is what he wants to face most.
Why There are two reasons.
One is to avenge the national team level, and the other is that he has absolute confidence when facing Messi, just like Valencia faced Barcelona.
"CCTV CCTV, the game we are broadcasting for you now is the second semi-final of the 2014 Brazil World Cup.
Argentina and the Netherlands.
The winner between them will challenge the Chinese team that has already entered the final."
Although they were in Brazil, members of the Chinese national team who were accustomed to live broadcasts in Chinese still chose CCTV's satellite channel to watch the live broadcast.
What came from the TV was He Wei's infectious voice, and the game officially began.
As the game begins, fans around the world are focused on their television screens.
The fans at the Corinthians Arena are different.
They have to invest more energy, especially the fans from both sides of the game.
While they invest their energy, they also have to raise their voices to cheer for the team.
“So boring” Wang Xiaolei stretched and curled his lips.

Ai Luo smiled slightly and scolded: "You guy."
But then he changed his voice and said with a heavy face: "The game has reached the semi-finals.
No one can afford to lose.
It is understandable to focus more on defense.
After all, we got a dream start from the beginning.
There are very few games, so whether our opponents in the final are Argentina or the Netherlands, we must treat them rigorously because we cannot afford to lose."
Everyone nodded thoughtfully, agreeing with Ai Luo's statement.
Indeed, when it comes to the finals, it becomes even more difficult to lose.
Many players are at the peak of their careers now.
Who knows what they will be like in four years?
Living in the present is the wisest choice.
Invisibly, Aiello completely unified the thinking of the entire team.
Ninety minutes after the semi-final between Argentina and the Netherlands, the score on the field was still 0:0.
Throughout the game, Robben and Messi were severely restricted.
In addition, both teams in the semifinals paid great attention to the protection of the back line, so it is destined that there will not be many players left with both speed and skills.
No matter who gets the ball in the opponent's half, they will be double-teamed and unable to perform at their normal level.
If there is no winner or loser in the entire game in 90 minutes, it will naturally go into overtime with 30 minutes of first and second half.
If there is still no way to decide the winner in 30 minutes of overtime, it will go into an extremely cruel penalty kick.
Great war.
However, when the two teams entered overtime, they have already benefited a lot from the Chinese team, which entered the final early.
In terms of physical fitness, the Chinese team will definitely have certain advantages.
Before overtime began, the Corinthians Arena director captured Guardiola's excited expression.
Because he knows that as long as the game between Argentina and the Netherlands enters overtime, it will definitely have a certain advantage.
In particular, many players in both teams play for wealthy European clubs.
This means that they have participated in a full season, and their physical reserves have been basically exhausted.
Now that they are playing continuously, their bodies must be tired.
The tournament system is another time to test the physical reserves of the players.
The other semi-final on the later day entered overtime.
Fans who know a little bit about penalty kicks will know that the Chinese team has already taken the lead in the final.
During the thirty-minute overtime, neither side had any intention of fighting hard.
Although there were dangers in front of the goal, there was no actual threat to the goal.
Therefore, after thirty minutes, the two sides had to enter a brutal penalty shootout.
"The penalty shootout is about to begin.
Which team will reach the final?
Argentina or the Netherlands.
Let's wait and see."
As the referee on duty blew his whistle, BBC commentator Andy Gray said excitedly
