In the first round of the 2014 World Cup Group F, Argentina defeated Bosnia and Herzegovina 2:1 and scored 3 points first.

Six hours later, at Curitiba Baishada Stadium, the match between the Chinese team and Nigeria came as scheduled.

Van der Hill's speech in the locker room before the game still maintained his former style, and he refused to give the team a bloody spree, but said to everyone in a deep tone: "No one of you has ever had a World Cup experience, and neither am I.

But today’s difference is that we did not sit in front of TV to watch the global football feast. Your relatives and friends, especially parents, children, and partners, should most of them cheer for you at home. This is the highlight of your career.

The game is only 90 minutes, but it will make you recall your life.

Nothing is more worthy of our best condition than this and face every minute and every second seriously!

I can imagine that the game will inevitably be very difficult, but we are together, our family is with us, and the largest number of fans in the world are with us!

Let's cheer together!"

The Chinese generals were in high spirits and boosted their morale, and then walked out of the locker room together.

When he came to the player channel, Tang Hong, as the captain, naturally stood at the front of the team. He looked at Nigeria's starting lineup, and only Moses and Mikel were among them who had played against him on the court. At that time, Tang Hong represented Manchester United, and Moses and Mikel played for Chelsea.

He and the two nodded at each other after their eyes met.

After the referee team checked that the starters of the two teams did not carry illegal items, the players of the two teams officially entered the court.

The noise at Baishada Stadium was deafening. The number of Chinese fans was obviously greater than that of Nigerian fans. Before the game started, the long-lasting cheering sounded. After all, it was the World Cup and a grand carnival for fans.

The starters of the two teams lined up on the court and then held a pre-opening ceremony.

When China's national anthem sounded on the World Cup stage, the Chinese generals were unanimously stroking the team logo near the heart with their right hands, and everyone sang loudly.

Perhaps this is their only World Cup trip for older players.

Sun Xiang and Zheng Zhi will definitely miss the next World Cup.

Of course, it is still a question whether the Chinese team can enter the next World Cup.

But at least the Chinese team, which is mainly young players, will have at least two chances to strive for the World Cup again in the next 5-10 years.

At this moment, the professional peak that belongs to most Chinese players is on the verge of progress!

"Hello CCTV, CCTV, everyone, everyone, welcome to the second game of the first round of Group F in the 2014 Brazil World Cup Group F, the Chinese team and Nigeria competed at Curitiba Baishada Stadium.

As the first team in Asia to advance to the World Cup, the Chinese team will inevitably enter a very difficult group in the lottery due to world rankings.

In the same group, we have strong teams like Argentina, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Nigeria.

Before the game, many media believed that the Chinese team should not consider qualifying. We strive to play every game well and live up to the efforts of the past four years is the best mentality!

Head coach Van der Hill also expressed the same view before the game. We must admit that the Chinese team is a weak team on the world stage, and we are not worth mentioning in the eyes of strong teams.

Even if we have superstars like Tang Hong who are considered to be comparable to Messi and C Ronaldo in European football.

But football is a team sport. Looking at Messi's teammates and C Ronaldo's teammates, we know that we cannot be too optimistic that Tang Hong can help the Chinese team go further on the World Cup stage. The performance of the Chinese team is not as largely determined by the performance of players such as Zeng Cheng, Zhang Linpeng, Zheng Zhi, and Wu Lei.

Let's take a look at the starting lineup of the two teams today.

The Chinese team started 4231.

Goalkeeper: Zeng Cheng.

Defenders: Zhang Linpeng, Liu Tao, Dai Lin, Sun Xiang.

Midfielder: Wu Lei, Zhao Xuxuan, Luo Hongkai, Zheng Zhi, Tang Hong.

Forward: Qin Rui.

All Chinese team players in Europe start, it can be said that this is our strongest lineup.

Nigeria's starter is also 4231.

Goalkeeper: Nye Yama.

Defenders: Ambrose, Oboabona, Omeolu, Oshaniva.

Midfielders: Moussa, Mikel, Archiez, Onachi, Moses.

Forward: Emenik.

Both teams should have defensive counterattacks as their main style of play, so the game trend should be a bit stalemate. The pre-match tee has been completed. Let's see how the two teams are in good condition and performance.

Chinese team, come on!"

The Chinese team completed a group photo before the game. As the most famous star on the court, Tang Hong was naturally taken care of by the camera.

At this time, his beauty was cheering for him in the stands, and his family and friends were also cheering for him in China.

More importantly, countless fans in China are cheering for him and his teammates!

The World Cup, a feast of global attention.

No matter where the end point is, he must do his best to move forward!

With the referee's whistle, the game officially started!

The Chinese team took the lead in kicking off, Qin Rui gently pushed the ball, and Tang Hong knocked the ball back.

Nigeria team carefully deployed defenses and counterattacks, and did not dare to go deep into the hinterland of the Chinese team's halftime. After all, Nigeria team was also the first game of the World Cup, so there is absolutely nothing wrong with being cautious first.

The Chinese team passes more in the backcourt, trying to get every player to touch the ball as much as possible to enter the game.

In the 5th minute of the game, the Chinese team launched a fast attack from the left side of the frontcourt, and Luo Hongkai sent the ball diagonally to Tang Hong's feet in front of the central circle.

At the moment when Tang Hong controls the ball, Moussa, Mikel and Ambrose form front and back attacks and blocks his intangible line.

It is impossible for Nigeria to ignore Tang Hong's threat.

Tang Hong took a slow dribbling forward and decisively transferred the ball to Qin Rui, who was actively receiving the ball. The latter knocked the ball back to Luo Hongkai who followed up under Onach's follow-up defense.

Luo Hongkai kept passing the ball with a diagonal pass and sent the ball to the right in front of the penalty area.

Wu Lei quickly cut in from the right and suddenly splashed the ball into the right side of the penalty area.

Omeolu didn't expect that Wu Lei would dare to break through, but Wu Lei obviously chose a line closer to the outside line, so he could drive straight in with his speed advantage. However, the shooting angle when he entered the right rib of the penalty area was not good, but he had no choice but to shoot!

The football flew to the far corner of the goal, but the speed was not enough.

Nyeyama easily confiscated the ball.

When Nigeria started attacking, the Chinese team's forward first retreated to the central zone and then launched a counter-attack nearby.

Mikel dribbled near the center circle and passed the ball to Onach when he encountered Qin Rui, who sent a straight pass.

The front midfielder Achiz took the ball in front of Zhao Xuxu and retreated to pass the ball out of the left.

Moses suddenly accelerated to the bottom after leading the ball on the side. Zhang Linpeng and the defense were obviously struggling. He paid more attention to defending the inside and it was easy to lose the outside line. In terms of strength comparison, he was indeed easily defeated by his opponent.

When Moses made a cross from the bottom, Emenik in the middle quickly fought for the front point of the penalty area, and Liu Tao cleared the ball first to win cheers from Chinese fans.

The football flew to the right of the midfield was controlled by Oshaniva, and Wure immediately counterattacked, Nigerian full-back Oshaniva immediately passed the ball, and Mikel passed the ball directly in the midfield.

Achiz took the initiative to respond with the mid-splash and cut across the middle area, and passed the ball diagonally in front of Zheng Zhi and Zhao Xuxu to the right area in front of the penalty area.

Mousan cut in a punch and was defended by Sun Xiang, who stretched out his legs to press. Mousan took the lead and changed direction but was knocked to the ground.

The referee blew a foul and gave Nigeria a free kick.

Archiz took the free kick and went over the crossbar.

This ball does not seem dangerous, but it still makes Chinese fans sweat.

Although both teams play defensive counterattacks, Nigeria can still get more offensive opportunities.

Both teams were very cautious in the opening stage. Chinese fans were looking forward to Tang Hong's performance, but most of the time they saw him play the ball on the side of the midfield and frontcourt and transfer the offensive. The pass was very reasonable, and the rest depends on how his teammates performed.

In the 15th minute of the game, Nigeria team once again formed a threatening offensive in the frontcourt. Mousannei on the right side responded to Emenik's pass and accelerated into the penalty area. Dailin obviously blocked the foul outside the penalty area and stopped Mousan. Although this gave him a yellow card, it also resolved the danger of the Chinese team.

Chinese football media have always questioned Van der Hill's reuse of Dai Lin and said unfairly that Feng Xiaoting was sitting on the bench, but in the locker room, at least Tang Hong, the overseas Chinese faction led by at least Tang Hong, did not think there was any problem with doing so.

It was Feng Xiaoting who did not cherish the opportunity himself, and it was Van der Hill who still stayed in the national team.

As for whether it is Dai Lin or Feng Xiaoting in the next four years, Van der Hill already has his own plans and he needs to let Zhang Linpeng change to the center back, so that Zhao Hanchun can be the starting right-back.

In the 21st minute of the game, the Chinese team finally launched another threatening offensive in the frontcourt.

When Tang Hong received Qin Rui's pass from the left side of the frontcourt, he was hit by Ambrose and Mikel again. When he swung his right leg to pass the ball, Tang Hong noticed that Ambrose's center of gravity was retracted to the inside line, so he changed his footwork when he landed and changed his direction to the outside line and accelerated forward!

Ambrose was accidentally overtaken by Tang Hong from the outside, and when he turned around and chased him, he had no chance.

Tang Hong quickly descended along the side road and then turned into the incision track.

Mikel firmly chased and blocked the inside line. When Tang Hong was about to enter the penalty area, Tang Hong's feet kicked the ball and fried croquettes changed direction and continued to move towards the bottom line. Mikel turned around and immediately went to the left ribs of the penalty area to block Tang Hong's return route. The defender Oboabona ran quickly to block Tang Hong's cross.

But Tang Hong stopped quickly and spiked the ball. While controlling the rhythm, Oboabona was pulling to the ground because of his excessive force of stretching his legs and blocking it.

At this time, Tang Hong picked the pass on the spot and sent the ball to the front point of the goal.

Qin Rui quickly flew his head to attack the goal!

The angle is a bit small, and the football hit the goal net against the outside of the goal post!

Qin Rui held his head unwillingly and roared, and the Chinese fans in the stands also sighed with disappointment.

But soon there was a thunderous applause!

I hope the team will continue to work hard.

And Nigeria is concerned about Oboabona.

The other party fell to the ground and signaled to replace him!
Chapter completed!
