"That's it?"

"That's it?"

In the confusion of the fans, the Chinese national football team ended all the warm-up matches.

All players, coaching staff and staff went to Russia together.

At the last moment when the national football team rushed to Russia, the Football Association found a high coach, hoping that he could be Zidane's assistant coach and become a communication link between coaches and players, and at the same time he could also learn from Zidane and be a spare tire.

After all, the Football Association also has its own knowledge.

Even the French national team may not be able to invite Zidane.

Zidane came to coach the World Cup competition for Chu Ge for the sake of the situation.

After the World Cup, this world-class coach is likely to make a new head coach. At that time, the Football Association still needs to find a new head coach for the national football team.

Guidance Gao is also an old acquaintance of the Football Association.

He is a very good candidate.

Sure enough, after being invited, Director Gao immediately read a poem.

Go to Russia happily.

...

Chu Ge came to Nizhny Novgorod.

The first game of the national football team this World Cup will be held here.

The opponent is Sweden.

Time is 618.

Speaking of Russia, the first thing Chinese people could think of was probably Moscow or St. Petersburg. They may know little about other cities in this neighborhood.

Nizhny Novgorod is the fifth largest city in Russia. It is located in the Volga River Basin (the name reveals the smell of alcohol). It is the capital of Nizhny Novgorod Prefecture and the hometown of the great writer Gorky.

Compared with Moscow and St. Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod is not a tourist hot city. However, due to the World Cup held and hosted several World Cup games, especially the first appearance of the Chinese national team in this World Cup, it has suddenly become a popular destination for tourism.

A large number of tourists, especially those from China, poured into Nizhny Novgorod two weeks in advance.

All hotels in the city are full.

Tourist attractions, playgrounds and catering services are all showing prosperity. Even ordinary municipal roads are full of tourists from all over the world.

Mayor Nizhny Novgorod laughed at the scene.

Putin was also very happy.

The unexpected elimination of the United States has greatly affected Russia's tourism revenue during the World Cup. China's unexpected promotion not only completely offset the negative impact of the beautiful country, but has instead made Russia's tourism revenue reach a new high in the same period.

This is undoubtedly very good news for Russia, which is in crisis.

Therefore, Putin even decided that after attending the opening match on the first day, he would also come to Nizhny Novgorod to watch the game between China and Sweden himself.

The official reason given by Putin's spokesperson is that this is based on the principles of China-Russia friendship and diplomatic reciprocity.

In addition, the spokesperson also revealed that Putin is also a loyal fan of Chu Ge.

...

Swedish coach Anderson walked into the conference room.

He was a little annoyed.

This Swedish head coach has never been regarded as a particularly well-known coach. His English wiki page is perhaps the shortest of the quarterfinals coaches, with only three short lines of words.

If he is more famous, he will definitely be exposed by Zidane.

Fortunately, the Swedish national team he coaches is still very strong.

In the European arena where there are many strong players, even the old-fashioned teams, the Netherlands and Italy, will be eliminated. The Swedish national team, which excludes Ibrahimovic, can advance, which itself means that they have excellent strength.

This time Sweden entered the World Cup finals. Ibrahimovic's team once built momentum for Ibrahimovic's return. A considerable number of fans in Sweden welcomed Ibrahimovic to return to the national team.

However, Anderson has a very personality.

His tough statement in April this year indicated that the Swedish national team had no intention of calling Fengxian, who had retired from the national team after the 2016 European Cup.

For Anderson, he needed an active team of players who could make sacrifices and dedicate to the team, not just a football superstar.

This is his football philosophy.

It's also his choice.

And this kind of choice full of personality will undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on him.

The first to advance to the World Cup finals has relieved some of Anderson's pressure. But for the head coach, this is only part of the goal of the Swedish national team.

He wants to win more.

On the whiteboard in the conference room, the three opponents in the Swedish group stage were clearly written.

Germany.

Mexico.

China.

Many Swedes believe that Germany and Mexico are undoubtedly the biggest obstacle for Sweden to qualify from this group.

Anderson also thinks so.

However, none of these matters.

The match against Germany and Mexico will take several days.

At present, Anderson needs to consider the game opponent, China, the weakest in the group.

They must win this game.

Anderson also thinks they will win.

However, China is a very mysterious opponent for Sweden and Anderson.

Because this team has hardly appeared in any World Series before, and members of the national team almost play in their own leagues. Anderson knows very little about their technical characteristics and game style.

The only thing he can be sure of is that the Chinese team, like Sweden before, has a superstar player.

He is currently playing for Manchester United, who just led Manchester United to defeat Real Madrid in the Champions League final and won the triple crown. Many people think that it is possible to win this year's European Golden Ball Award.

Anderson has watched Chu Ge's game at Manchester United.

That's a genius.

If Ibrahimovic had the level that Chu Ge showed at Manchester United, not to mention that he had proposed to retire, even if he said he would never return to the national team in his life, unless the national team head coach kneeled down and begged him or something, Anderson would kneel down without hesitation.

Chu Ge is worth it.

He is a player who can bring qualitative changes to a team.

Speed, skills, dribbling, breakthrough, shot, free kick...

He can hardly do anything.

Apart from the well-known fact that he scored few goals in headers and did not like to punish penalty kicks, Chu Ge is almost an all-round player with no shortcomings.

His strength is very terrible.

No team wants to face such an opponent.

but,

That's just Manchester United's Huge.

Just like Messi who is only in Barcelona is the real Messi, when Chu Ge returned to the national team, there is a gap in grade compared to his performance in the club.

Some media have analyzed many reasons.

Anderson didn't care.

He has watched more than a dozen Chinese national team games and confirmed this fact, which is enough.

but.

The recent warm-up match of China's national team made Andesong feel a bit ominous premonition.

Before the World Cup, China changed coaches and arranged two warm-up matches.

One is against Thailand and the other is against Wales.

Anderson watched the video of both games.

There is nothing to say about the game against Thailand, it is basically a replica of the previous game.

Chu Ge was tired of doing anything, but he did nothing well. He ended up being unable to do anything well. His performance was limited by a group of teammates who deliberately served him.

But in this situation, in the warm-up match with Wales, there was a change that made Anderson feel uneasy.

Chu Ge is no longer so active.

His teammates began to perform more in the game.
