Chapter 72 A Battle Between Old Friends and a Bad Start!

"I have fought for Uruguay for 30 years, 12 years as a coach and as a player, and I am closer than ever to the real goal."

Before the game, the 71-year-old Tabarez was full of confidence, "We will try our best to win."

"The Chinese team is strong, but we can leapfrog them."

"Klauschen is an old friend of mine. The first time we played against each other, I was still very young. I am very happy to meet him again in the World Cup and this time we can win."

"I look up to Krauchen's achievements. You must know that he changed the history of Chinese football. He and Dong created incredible records together."

"The Chinese team has the best players in the world. This is their biggest advantage, but it is also their biggest disadvantage. He is almost unstoppable, but the Chinese team can be stopped. After all, football is a team sport of 11 people. We Maybe we are far inferior to the Chinese team in individual positions, but we are far better than them in more positions."

"We need to reflect our strengths in the game instead of amplifying our weaknesses."

Coach Tavares looks confident.

"I think this is the last World Cup for many players. Like me, I don't need to mobilize anything. They will spontaneously contribute all their efforts. They know what it means."

"I'm really looking forward to this game starting soon."

※※※※

Still in Sochi, the Chinese team ushered in Uruguay, the strongest opponent in this World Cup.

The main forces of both sides were used without reservation.

Fans from both sides arrived at the stadium two hours early. The two colors were distinct, red and sky blue. The red ones are Chinese fans and the blue ones are Uruguay fans. Both parties were very friendly and there was no disharmony. Reporters from the two countries interviewed each other's fans.

CCAV5 reporter asked Uruguayan fans: "Do you think you can win against the Chinese team?"

"I don't know." The Uruguayan fan was quite honest.

"Why don't you know?"

"Because I have a fear of Dong, I have been particularly impressed by him since 2010. Eight years later, he is still the best player. Every time he gets the ball, I think he might score. This is possible. It’s already a heart disease.”

"I don't know if I can win, but I will definitely support my national team. As long as Suarez and Cavani can stand up and we score more goals than the Chinese team, we can still advance."

But when Uruguayan reporters interviewed Chinese fans, they got completely different answers.

"Yes,"

"Of course we can win."

"Because we have Dong Fangzhuo!"

When the Uruguayan reporter heard this answer, he really felt how important it was for the team to have a spiritual totem.

Yes, China has Dong, but who does Uruguay have? Suarez and Cavani are strong enough, but not strong enough to become a spirit. I really envy the Chinese. Just like Maradona is to Argentina, Pele is to Brazil, and Beckenbauer is to Germany, they all had the best football players at the time and then led the national team to the top of football.

The main forces of both sides were used.

Uruguay(442):

Goalkeeper: Muslera

Defenders: Laxalt, Godin, Jimenez, Caceres

Midfielder: Nandez, Vecino, Bentancur, Torreira

Forwards: Suarez, Cavani

Chinese team (442)

Goalkeeper: Zeng Cheng

Defenders: Zhang Linpeng, Zheng Zhi, Feng Xiaoting, Wang Gang

Midfielder: Hao Junmin, Huang Bowen, Zhao Xuri, Feng Renliang

Forward: Wu Sanshi, Dong Fangzhuo

As the coaches of both sides said, they don't even need to motivate the players in the locker room. They are all experienced players and know what the knockout rounds of the World Cup mean. The two old coaches don't need to use them like other coaches. Impassioned language to motivate players.

When the players from both sides met in the tunnel, Suarez took the initiative to say hello to Dong Fangzhuo.

Not surprisingly, this was the last time the two met in the World Cup. In the World Cup four years later, they may only be able to sit in the stands and watch the game.

"Dong,"

"Louis,"

The two people didn't say much, they just high-fived each other, and everything was said in silence.

Godin also came over to greet him. Godin has defended Dong Fangzhuo many times over the years, but he was the loser every time and never won. If Godin were to recall the most terrifying player he had faced in his career , that person is definitely Dong Fangzhuo, not Messi, not Ronaldo.

Then Godin found his old teammate Feng Renliang to chat. The two of them also had a very good relationship at Atletico Madrid.

Tabares stood tremblingly beside him on crutches. After seeing Krauchen come out, the two hugged each other with smiles. They didn't dare to use too much force. After all, their bodies were not very strong.

Out of respect for the two veteran coaches, the World Cup Organizing Committee allowed them to take the lead in walking out of the player tunnel, which was unprecedented in the history of the World Cup.

When they saw the two of them walking out of the stadium, the fans immediately gave them deafening applause. At this time, there was no rivalry, only friendship, and only respect for these two old men.

"It's not easy,"

"Klauchen and Tavares, these two old men deserve respect."

"The applause from both fans was surprisingly unanimous."

Huang Jianxiang and Duan Xuan applauded spontaneously.

"Someone will leave sadly today, and only one will be the winner, but the result doesn't matter because the two of them have won everything."

…

Beep——

The first elimination game of the 2018 Russia World Cup has officially begun!

The Chinese team took the lead to kick off. Dong Fangzhuo quickly withdrew after the kickoff and participated in the team's organized attack, instead of rushing to the front as before. Maybe they are also worried about the team's lack of midfield control.

Bentancur rushed forward and quickly approached him. The reason for Dong Fangzhuo's retracement is simple and everyone understands it.

But it was impossible for him to deal with Dong Fangzhuo alone. Although he was behind Dong Fangzhuo, Huang Bowen still handed the ball to him!

With his back to Bentancur, Dong Fangzhuo quickly moved to the right and sent an overhead ball with his left foot. It was like he had eyes behind his back. He didn’t need to look at Feng Renliang’s running route at all, but the pass fell to Feng Renliang extremely accurately. in front of.

Feng Renliang didn't wait for the ball to fall. He hooked the inside of his right foot in mid-air. The ball accelerated directly in mid-air. Before Nandez could get closer, he accelerated and rushed forward!

With a whoosh, the whole person was like an arrow from the string. Just after catching up with the ball, his right foot pushed hard on the back of the ball.

It was obvious that he wanted to force the ball past Nandez and Laxalt! The tactics are so stupid!

However, Feng Renliang took it for granted. Just when he accelerated and rushed past Laxalt, central defender Godin quickly rushed over, flew up with his feet and shoveled at Feng Renliang's feet! Feng Renliang passed Nandez and Laxalt, but he failed to prevent Godin!

With a bang, Godin's left foot shoveled the ball accurately without any foul movement. However, Feng Renliang's sprint speed was too fast and he couldn't stop at all. In the end, his right foot tripped Godin's. On his feet, his whole body flipped forward in the air and hit the turf heavily.

"Ouch!"

Screams echoed throughout the sky.

This fall was so tragic that the fans watching at the scene felt distressed.

"Feng Renliang may be injured,"

"He hit the ground arm first."

The referee immediately stopped the game, but did not call Godin a foul, thinking that Godin's tackle was a good goal.

They are friends off the field, but not on the field!

However, Godin immediately came up to apologize to Feng Renliang and personally helped him off the field.

"Dude, I didn't mean it."

"You have to hold on!"

"I'm waiting for you to get back on the court!"

Feng Renliang received treatment from the team doctor on the sidelines, but soon gave up the idea of ​​returning to the court.

Krauchen had to immediately ask Zhang Xizhe to take off his clothes and warm up hastily!

A bad start!
