After finishing the warm-up, Chu Ge returned to the locker room.

After a brief adjustment, it was soon time for the game to officially start.

...

"Hi! Chu!"

As soon as Chu Ge walked into the player passage, someone immediately greeted him.

That's the Swiss team's players.

When they saw Chu Ge appear, they were all a little excited, just like fans meeting their idols. However, the players were much more restrained than ordinary fans. They just came over to chat with Chu Ge, excitedly expressing their appreciation for Chu Ge, and did not act excessively.

For example, do your best.

Chu Ge had no airs and started chatting with them.

Chu Ge is no stranger to several players from the Swiss team.

For example, Shaqiri, Dzema Yili, etc., Chu Ge and they all had experiences fighting each other.

"After a while, you must show mercy." Chu Ge and Behrami joked.

Beherami is the captain of the Swiss national team. He is fierce and tenacious, especially a player who dares to step on the feet and belongs to the meat grinder type.

There are only a few ordinary skilled players who are not afraid of him when they meet him.

Chu Ge just gave him some eye drops in advance, and did not expect his opponent to really let go.

really.

After hearing Chu Ge's words, Behrami immediately put on a harmless smile, "The conscience of heaven and earth, my style is elegant, and I have always been a gentleman on the football field."

Chu Ge shook his head helplessly.

...

The game begins soon.

Zidane stood on the sidelines and observed the game situation.

The situation was exactly the same as he imagined before the game.

The game lasted for more than ten minutes, and Switzerland was always playing against China.

All players retreated from defense at all, and even Chu Ge had to stay in his own half to assist his teammates in defense, and consumed a lot of physical strength in defense.

China's only counterattacks were always cut off by its opponent's strong defense before halfway through.

Swiss captain Behrami performed particularly well.

Almost every defense, Behrami charges at the front line.

He ran actively, defended well, and his feet were even more fierce.

After only a dozen minutes of the game, Chu Ge was knocked down by Behrami three times.

Every time Zidane robbed, he felt a cold sweat for Chu Ge.

He came to the sidelines three times and complained to the fourth official because Behrami's defensive moves against Chu Ge were a bit big. Zidane wanted to put pressure on the referee in this way to protect Chu Ge and avoid Chu Ge's injury.

but.

Very little effect.

Behrami is an old fry.

Although he has a big defensive move, he will not easily foul, so the referee will not interfere with him.

Football is a game full of physical confrontation. The referee will not stop physical confrontation within the scope of the rules.

...

Looking at the passiveness of the scene, Gao Hongbo shook his head.

He recalled the conversation with Zidane before the game.

Zidane made a prediction for today's game.

Zidane predicts that he will lose today.

Fans may not understand.

If opponents like Sweden and Germany are even able to win, China will lose against Switzerland? Is Switzerland stronger than teams like Sweden and Germany?

Gao Hongbo also didn't understand.

But Zidane explained it thoroughly.

To put it bluntly, the strength of the Chinese team is still relatively weak.

Chu Ge raised the upper limit of this team, Zidane tried his best to stabilize and to a certain extent the lower limit of the team, but none of this could fundamentally change the overall strength of a team.

The reason I won Sweden is because the Swedes didn't take China seriously at the beginning. When playing against China, Sweden thought more about it, maybe the game against Germany might be the one that was about to face.

They suffer from arrogance and lack of understanding of China.

The situation in Germany is very similar to that in Sweden.

Even, they are more arrogant than Sweden.

Not only did the Germans not take China seriously, they even openly rotated their lineups and took the initiative to retain their strength for the upcoming knockout rounds.

The situation at that time was that Mexico won all two games, and the third game was against Sweden, which had lost all the previous two games, was eliminated early.

Germany predicts that Mexico is highly likely to win.

No matter how bad it is, Mexico can tie Sweden.

In this way, Germany has a very small chance of winning the first place in this group.

If the group qualifies for the second time, they will face the first in the adjacent group, which means they will face Brazil.

Compared with Brazil, opponents of China of this level are naturally unpopular.

What Lov thought the most was how to solve China at the lowest cost, and then use his best condition to face the German team's biggest championship rival, the five-star Brazil.

Then... nothing happened.

With his perfect plan, Loeff returned home with his toy car. By the way, he also left thousands of German fans who came from afar homeless. He also tailored the rooftop train for countless gambling dogs.

These two victories in China were of the right time, place, and people, and all kinds of conditions were met, which created a miracle.

Such a miracle is undoubtedly irrepeatable.

There were two fools in a cup competition, and they all encountered each other. This was already the smoke from the ancestral grave, so we can't ask for more.

China's loss to Mexico is the best example.

In the game that Mexico won, China had no chance of any of them.

Even Zidane didn't think the goal scored by Chu Ge was a good opportunity. It was entirely Chu Ge's personal ability, coupled with the manifestation of his luck, and he did not have the possibility of copying.

Mexico gives full respect to Chinese football.

They went all out.

As a result, Huaxia lost the game without any suspense.

This is football.

This is the gap in strength.

Same.

If the opponents in the group stage may be despised by China due to unfamiliarity and due to the schedule, and give China an opportunity to take advantage of it, entering the knockout stage, one game determines the winner and lose, and that kind of silly and cute opponent is difficult to find.

Especially Switzerland.

Switzerland is different from Germany.

They have no chance of winning the championship.

To a certain extent, Switzerland, like China, plays one game and makes a lot of money, and loses a lot of money.

Switzerland will not be able to relax in the game against China.

They can use 100% of their state, and they are even willing to fight for 120%.

They will definitely respect China fully.

Facing such an opponent, China will expose its shortcomings of insufficient strength just like Mexico.

This is also why Zidane thought he would lose in this game from the very beginning.

"Instead of thinking about the outcome of the game, it is better to enjoy the World Cup," Zidane told Gao Hongbo.

...

The progress of the game further confirmed Zidane's judgment.

Switzerland has been siege continuously, threatening China's goal many times.

finally.
