1208 America's Cup begins!
The Chinese team set off for Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to go to Rio de Janeiro for the Copa America!
This time, Situ Yunbing went to the battle for the Americas Cup, and his mentality was relaxed. He participated in the Copa America. Considering that he deprived the players of part of the holiday, his mentality was relatively Buddhist.
Just go to fight with the South American powerhouses to improve their experience, but he doesn't care about the results.
This Copa America was held in Brazil. There were 10 teams in South America, and China and Japan were invited to participate in the competition. 12 teams were divided into three groups. Each group had 6 teams qualifying for the top two, and four groups had better performances. A total of 8 teams became the quarterfinals of the Cup.
The weather in Rio de Janeiro is hot, and the Chinese team feels pretty good after the arrival. After all, the purpose of training in Hainan is to enhance the team's adaptability and endurance in hot weather. The next World Cup is held in the winter of Qatar, but the temperature is also not low.
Staying at a hotel in Rio de Janeiro, everything was done step by step. With 5 days left before the opening of the Copa America, the Chinese team played a warm-up match with Bolivia. Both teams were relatively cautious and finally shook hands and said a 1:1 hand-shaking talk.
Both teams obviously did not make any efforts, so they did not have the reference for their strength to investigate.
Situ Yunbing was invited to attend the opening ceremony of the Cup of America. On June 15, the Cup of America officially opened!
Situ Yunbing stood with many officials of the South American Football Association in the guest seat, as well as many Brazilian celebrities, including Pele, and Kafu, the ones near. They also respect Situ Yunbing very much. After all, they are a very important legend in the history of European football. The photo of each other also looks quite historically heavy.
The opening match, Brazil faced Bolivia. Before this competition, Neymar withdrew from the national team roster due to injury. This has affected the strength of the Brazilian team to a certain extent, but South American football has been on a downward trend, so there is no absolute king.
Taking the previous World Cup as an example, there are no South American teams among the semi-finals of the World Cup!
If we look back further, Argentina was the runner-up in the 2014 World Cup, but it is well known how difficult they played, let alone Brazil's humiliating defeat at home was Germany's World Cup record.
But just on this acre of three-point land in South America, since the level gap is step-by-step, there are still some people who can beat it.
Teams like Bolivia will not be able to play at home with Brazil or Argentina, because they are plateau teams, and many opponents will not adapt to the altitude and perform poorly when they go to their doorsteps.
But when it comes to Brazil's territory, Bolivia can only be slaughtered.
Brazilian coach Tite obviously retained his strength, such as William, Sandro and Jesus in the team, all sat on the bench without starting.
When the game started, Brazil controlled the initiative on the court. Coutinho, a disciple of Situ Yunbing in Liverpool, was the most active player on the court. The Brazilian star who performed poorly after going to Barcelona seemed to be incompatible with Barcelona's horoscope.
However, when returning to the Brazilian national team, he can still play well.
In the early part of the second half, Coutinho scored two goals in 5 minutes to help Brazil lead two goals, and then Titt began to substitution.
Neymar actually spent more than 100 million euros in Barcelona when he entered the European football world, which also caused the chairman who operated the transfer to resign. The most talented and attention-oriented supernova in Brazil is Eveton. European media have long revealed that many wealthy families followed him and observed him. Once he entered Europe, the transfer fee would inevitably exceed 100 million!
After Eveton appeared, he received Fernandinho's assist and scored a goal to help Brazil secure the victory.
A Brazilian team's complete victory kicked off the curtain for the Copa America.
Because the Chinese team participated in the Copa America, it has indeed directly increased the ratings and attention of the Copa America, and there are also much more discussions about the Copa America on social media than in previous years.
Two days later, Brazil, Rio de Janeiro, Maracana Stadium.
The Group B group stage has ended, with Argentina losing 0:2 to Colombia.
In the second game, the Chinese team faced Paraguay.
Before the game, Situ Yunbing did not talk much about the game. He just said that he did not know much about South American football, so he came to the Americas Cup with a humble heart. If he could gain some experience here, then this would be a very valuable asset.
The coach of Paraguay is Eduardo Berizo. His career is not a brilliant one, but he has also made a round of European football and then entered the coaching industry. His peak coaching in European football a few years ago was to lead Sevilla to the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup. Unfortunately, he was eventually eliminated by Manchester United led by Mourinho and blocked the final goal.
He then interrupted his coaching due to a diagnosis of prostate cancer. After treatment, his body began to recover. He picked up Paraguay's coaching stick, which is now a well-known anti-cancer fighter in South American football.
Brazil's legendary and magnificent Maracana Stadium made Situ Yunbing feel dizzy because the stadium is large and can accommodate 80,000 spectators. It doesn't sound like many, but before the renovation, it was able to accommodate 200,000 people!
After looking around the stadium, Situ Yunbing walked towards Berizo and shook hands friendly with the opponent.
Situ Yunbing has never used many Brazilian players during his coaching days in European football. It can be said that there are fewer players in South America, which makes him not very prestige in South America.
South American football has always been fighting against European football, competing for the world's first place.
They are not as entertaining as Asia. In the hearts of many South American fans, the status of the Copa America is also very high.
The Chinese team is considered to be a substitute for the competition, so that the Copa America looks more scaled and the event can generate more benefits.
As for Situ Yunbing, the fans here are not interested in him.
So how high is the achievement in European football?
It has nothing to do with them.
The starters of the two teams entered the court, and the atmosphere became warm, and Paraguay received much higher support than the Chinese team.
"Good evening for everyone, everyone, welcome to watch the first round of the 2019 Brazilian Copa America Group B.
This Copa America invites Japanese and Chinese teams from Asia to participate. Today, the Chinese team will make their debut at the Maracana Stadium, and the Japanese team will face Chile tomorrow.
The media are not optimistic about the performance of the Chinese and Japanese teams in this competition, and most of them think that they can go home just after the group stage.
But I think both teams have great potential.
You should know that the Japanese team almost eliminated Belgium in the World Cup to advance to the quarterfinals!
The Chinese team just won the Asian Cup four and a half months ago, not to mention that they also have a legendary coach Situ Yunbing!
Let me introduce the starting lineups of both sides.
The Chinese team started 433 today.
Goalkeeper: Chen Jingjie.
Defenders: Abuduhaimiti, Bai Yuanfan, Cheng Renjun, Li Lei.
Midfielder: Zhang Zhibang, Zhao Fenghua, Huang Bozhou.
Forward: Luo Xin, Wu Lei, Luo Cheng.
Judging from this list, the Chinese team has put forward the strongest lineup to participate in the Copa America!
Paraguay starts 451.
Goalkeeper: Fernandez.
Defenders: Asamendia, Valbuena, Valdes, Alonso.
Midfielders: Dominguez, Rojas, Almiron, Ortiz, Perez.
Forward: Cardozo.
Paraguay still has some reservations, and they put several main players on the bench waiting for a big battle with Colombia and Argentina!
Okay, the game begins soon, let’s look forward to this game together!”
Situ Yunbing didn't know if he was despised by his opponent, or if the conditions for promotion in this group were not harsh, the top two could qualify, and the third place with good grades could qualify!
Although he was playing the Copa America with a Buddhist mentality, he still did his job well.
Several important players like Paraguay, who have now been renewed and started to take over, have not made a debut today.
The offensive midfielder Sanchez in 1996, winger Gonzalez in 1994, winger Iturbet in 1993, center Santander in 1991 did not make it!
And the players Paraguay sent to the court today are really not enough.
Only 2 of the 11 starters played in European football, defender Balbuena played for West Ham United, and midfielder Almiron played for Newcastle United. These two men couldn't even play in the team when Situ Yunbing was coaching Liverpool, so naturally they didn't leave any impression on Situ Yunbing.
Among other players, only Cardoso, who had played for Benfica for eight years, can be called a famous player.
But Cardoso is now 36 years old!
Among the other players, only Perez plays in the Qatar League to make money, while the rest plays in the South American or North American Mexican League.
Such a Paraguay team cannot be said to be the second team, but it definitely did not show its strongest strength.
Berizo may really want to keep the team strong and fight Argentina and Colombia for two fierce games. As for the Chinese team, it is not considered to be seriously concerned, but there is no need to show off all the trump cards.
After seeing his opponent's starting lineup, Situ Yunbing no longer felt relieved.
The generals come to block the water and the soil. Since Paraguay wants to retain its strength, then the Chinese team will let them try whether it is so easy to win the game!
With the referee's whistle, the Chinese team's match against Paraguay officially started.
Situ Yunbing, who stood on the sidelines, looked serious, and the Chinese team also set up a tight formation on the court to resist Paraguay's offensive.
Most South American teams are players with flexible and fast skills, but the overall rigor of tactics is significantly different from that of European teams.
Paraguay's first wing attack started from the left. When Perez received a pass from Rojas on the left of the frontcourt, he wanted to dribble the ball down the bottom but Abuduhemiti broke the ball out of the sideline.
The first attack was not done!
Berizo sat in the coaching seat and looked at the tight formation of the Chinese team, and suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart.
Chapter completed!
