South African President Jacob Zuma, FIFA President Sepp Blatter, Chinese Ambassador Zhong Jianhua, and Chinese Football Association President Yan Shiduo sat on the VIP table together.Zuma was in the center, Blatter and Zhong Jianhua accompanied him left and right, and Yan Shiduo sat next to Blatter.The CCTV reporter who accompanied the Chinese team on the trip was given a five-minute interview before the game, and the interviews were with the national team assistant coach Fan Zhiyi and team member Zhao Xuri.Lao Gao and Wang Ai didn't appear on the scene this time, Lao Gao was struggling to speak, so let Lao Fan go to Bang, Wang Ai wanted Zhao Xuri to exercise.Fans all over the country always look at him, and he is afraid that everyone will get tired of watching him.Besides, he doesn't need to appear in front of the audience all the time to increase his popularity, the Chinese market has been emptied, and no matter how high his reputation is, there will be no more, but his brothers need to show their faces more.Wang Ai didn't care about what he talked about, he was also mentioned by Lao Gao Er in the locker room after the pre-match preparation activities: "South Africa is the host, the strength is still a little, maybe not very disciplined, you have to be careful not to get hurt, this is different from the situation in Asia and your European professional league." ”Wang Ai nodded seriously, the host has always been braver, and he can also get a certain amount of tolerance from the referee.African teams don't play very well, so you have to be careful.The South African team's jersey today is yellow, and the Chinese team chose red.The style of the jersey has improved a lot compared to before, and it is no longer the kind of loose school uniform, although it is still worse than the best, but it has improved a lot.Under the guidance of the staff, everyone walked out of the locker room and lined up separately, and with a whistle in front, everyone walked out of the stadium under the "welcome" of tens of thousands of South African fans singing and dancing, and heard several Chinese shouts.It turned out that more than 2,000 Chinese also came to the scene, most of them were organized by Chinese-funded enterprises in South Africa, and only a few came from China.The cost of the journey is too high, and the Chinese in this era are not used to traveling far and wide to cheer for the national team in large quantities.The two sides lined up and played the national anthems of the two countries, and then the Chinese team in the red jersey shook hands in front of the South African team in the yellow jersey in turn, and then the captains of the two sides guessed the side, Wang Ai won, did not come out of the moth, and asked for the right to serve.The hands on the spectators' watches slowly moved to 16 o'clock in the afternoon, the black-clothed referee blew a whistle, Wang Ai pushed his feet, and the silver and black staggered football rolled to Bai Guanghai's feet.The sound of "Ulala" rose in the stadium.The one-and-a-half-foot-long vuvuzula is making its debut on the South African stadium!
It was only from this Confederations Cup that South African fans noticed this amazing loudspeaker, which will be carried forward in next year's World Cup: the noisy national teams can't hear the command and can't sleep!
The high quality and low price of Chinese products, combined with the lung capacity of South Africans, forced future fans to prepare headphones to watch the game.But fortunately, only about one percent of the fans in the stands prepared this, and most of them still swayed and sang together, showing the black man's optimistic nature to the fullest.After the opening, no matter how excited the fans in the stands were, the players behaved more cautiously, most of the players stayed in their own half, and once the opponent attacked, they retreated quickly.Through tactical encounters again and again, players and coaches on both sides are also adapting to each other's players and coaches.In the first five minutes, neither side formed a threatening attack, and the repeated organization and destruction in the midfield constituted the mainstream.Gradually, both sides have an intuitive understanding of the opponent.In the eyes of the South African players, the Chinese team is physically strong, passes accurately, and cooperates well, but there is not much fighting spirit; In the eyes of the Chinese team players, the situation of the South African team is the same as observed before the game, with good individual skills, rough coordination, fast running and fast reset, but unexpectedly the physical confrontation ability is average.In the few collisions, the South African team suffered losses, not with Wang Ai and Zhao Xuri.Lao Gao watched from the sidelines for a few minutes, turned around and sat on the chair, Li Bing said in a low voice, "How do you feel?"
”The old man didn't turn his head and whispered back, "That's it." ”High in the stands, South African President Jacob Zuma spoke, accompanied by the Chinese ambassador.Blatter, who was looking at the old ball, looked relaxed and chatted with the smiling Yan Shiduo through the translator Kangsi.In this year's Confederations Cup and next year's World Cup, how well the Chinese team performs will directly affect the bid for the right to host in 2018 or 2022.The game went on for a few more minutes, Yuan Weiwei was tripped by the opponent in a defense, and he was in some pain, the team doctor hurried onto the court, and his teammates came over and urgently exchanged views when the team doctor was treating him."
How can these people be like antelopes, they are light and can jump."
Zheng Zhi complained."
Hmm."
Wang Ai crossed his waist: "Brother Zhi, do you say that we should pass more balls and mobilize them to make them tired to death early, or fight positional battles?"
”Chen Tao and the others also saw that in their minds, the boss was certainly a well-deserved captain, but he was more of a spiritual leader and a pioneer officer who destroyed the city than a commander.Zheng Zhi frowned: "Combine the two, our midfielder's multi-pass try to mobilize them, and you have to seize the opportunity in front."
Brother Bai, what do you say?
”Although Lao Bai was ridiculously bald, he also became serious at this time, and thought about it: "I'll stand up, Xiao Wang'er, you run more." ”At this time, Yuan Weiwei had already stood up, and everyone had a plan in their hearts and dispersed.After kicking off again, the Chinese team's style of play quietly changed.If the first few minutes of the opening game were the Chinese team testing, then the next thing is to understand the situation and become targeted.Chen Tao's position was appropriately retracted, Zhao Xuri and Zhou Haibin were appropriately closer, Zheng Zhi was appropriately advanced, the distance between the four midfielders became closer, and the two fullbacks Zhang Yonghai and Guo Liang also approached one after another.In addition, Wang Ai's position was also appropriately retreated from the top of the arc of the free throw area.The football began to pass intensively at the feet of the Chinese team, and although there was no shortage of mistakes, such as being destroyed by the sudden interception of the light South African player, the overall style of play has become distinct.On the contrary, the South African team did not make any obvious changes, and it was still the same individual agility and group dull style of play, even if the steal was successful, it was quickly counter-robbed by the Chinese team.Brazil coach Santana even sat firmly in the dugout without giving any orders.Yan Shiduo's smile on the high side of the stands became more and more intense, and the conversation with Blatter became more and more confident.At this moment, in Beijing at ten o'clock at night, the big leader who was "advised" by Wang Ai not to stay up late all the time and pay attention to his body also smiled with a teacup, and "stubbornly" watched TV and live broadcast with a group of people.Ten o'clock, not the second half of the night, not a late night.Reborn at the top of football
