"The game is over! The game is over!"

Accompanied by the unbelievable exclamation of the commentator, the Chinese team players in the hotel conference room performed differently.

Some people are cheering, while others are still bewildered.

Luo Kai sat on his chair with his head in his hands, watching the close-up of his friend Ricardo Balea crying bitterly on the projection screen.

In fact, even those who cheered for Norway never expected this ending before the game. The reason why they cheered for Norway was just because they admired and appreciated the tenacity shown by the Norwegian team in the game. It did not mean that they expected this result from the beginning.

"Barea cried. He missed a chance to score in this game. If that goal can be scored, Portugal will be able to equalize the score and greatly boost the morale of the team. But he didn't score, Nothing happened..."

During the broadcast, the Spanish commentator's tone was a little sarcasm and ridicule.

"Before this World Cup, Portugal, as one of the hosts, made a big statement that the goal was to win the World Cup. As a result, their first game was defeated by Norway, which is ranked 36th in FIFA. Now the Portuguese should not think about it. World champions, they should first consider how to get out of the group!"

The guest commentator on Spanish TV is still making up for Portugal: "Norway is the fourth team in this group, and their ranking is even lower than Costa Rica...Now Portugal has lost, it is unbelievable! Portugal is obviously They underestimated the enemy, and then conceded the ball at the beginning, which completely messed them up..."

This guest specifically compared Costa Rica with Norway, not because the FIFA rankings of the two teams happened to be the same, but because Spain just defeated Costa Rica 6:2 in the warm-up match before the World Cup.

Mentioning Costa Rica at this time kills two birds with one stone. On the one hand, it satirizes Portugal, and on the other hand, it highlights the strength of Spain.

Jorge Dillon pressed the remote control, turned off the live broadcast, and did not let the commentators continue to flog the losing Portugal.

With the disappearance of the live broadcast, the noisy conference room gradually quieted down.

Dillon was not in a hurry, and after everyone was silent, he said: "Norway's victory shows that anything is possible in the World Cup. So don't set limits for yourself in advance, thinking that this is impossible, that is not possible." Possibly. As long as we dare to think and fight, we can also beat another host in the game. Don’t scare yourself with the performance of opponent players in the league or in the Champions League. National team games and club games are completely different. There is no reference value."

As the first game of the World Cup approaches, the public opinion field is also full of various voices regarding this game.

Maybe apart from Chinese fans, people from other countries around the world are more optimistic about Spain's victory.

Even in China, many people think that the Chinese team can draw with the Spanish team in the first show, which is considered a victory.

In the "group qualifying roadmap" planned by the Chinese fans and media for the Chinese team, the Chinese team drew with Spain in the first game and beat Italy in the second game, so that they can accumulate four points. Spain also has four points after two group games. Italy could have three points, or two.

In the last round of the group stage, Spain and Italy were deadlocked, regardless of the outcome, it is beneficial to the Chinese team, which has already accumulated four points. As long as they don't lose to Nigeria, they can get a place in the group stage.

Draw with Spain, in the eyes of many people, has become the highest goal of the Chinese team in this game.

But what Dillon thinks is not that simple. His goal is definitely not just to draw with Spain.

"Of course, this game will also sound a wake-up call for our opponents. They will definitely wake up and expect them to underestimate the enemy in the game against us. It is unlikely... But we should not pin our hopes of winning on The opponent underestimated the enemy.

"You are stronger now than you were four years ago. You can no longer have the weak mentality of the past, and you can't always hope to rely on your opponent's mistakes to take advantage of the loopholes. If there are still people

If we are lucky, Norway's victory in this game also blocked our final retreat.

"In your country, there is a saying that goes, 'The brave wins when we meet in a narrow road. We and the Spanish team meet in a narrow road. At this time, whoever is braver and who is less afraid of death will be able to persist until the end. And if in this kind of confrontation A little hesitation in the middle, you will fall into the abyss.

"There are still four days before our first game. During these four days, everyone must keep in mind the performance of the Norwegian players in this game, and use them as an example to prepare us and The game in Spain. That's all I have to say, now go back to rest and prepare for tomorrow's training."

Even though it was a night, the Spanish players still felt incredible when they chatted about last night's game at breakfast.

"Who is there in Norway? The biggest star in their team is Ruhr Rhine's midfielder Johan Setter, and the second biggest star is the center back Robestad who is currently in the Turin Bulls. They all play in their own league, and this one team has won against Portugal…”

"Dani scored 25 goals in Navigator last season, how did he misfire in the World Cup?"

"That ball can reach the height of Balia, and the difficulty of not scoring this ball is even higher than the difficulty of scoring it!"

Juan Ramirez interrupted his teammates: "No fuss, this is the World Cup. Don't be superstitious about performances in the league, and don't use the experience of the club to apply to the national team. Portugal gave us a suggestion. Wake up, never underestimate the Chinese team.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the team's right midfielder, Martin Losada, who played for Blue and White Munich, couldn't help shouting: "Juan, what you said is too nonsense! Who dares to underestimate the team that owns Hu ?!"

There was a roar of laughter in the restaurant.

In the whole world, except for the players of the Chinese team, maybe they, the Spanish internationals, know better about Hu Lai's power.

Except for the international players who played for the Madrid Pirates, almost all "victims".

Amidst the roar of laughter, Alexis Moyano, the assistant coach of the national team, left the restaurant. He looked at the door for a while, and then went straight to Juan Ramirez.

"Juan, Mister Borja is looking for you."

As soon as this remark came out, the restaurant that was quite lively before suddenly fell silent, and everyone turned their attention to Juan Ramirez.

In the quiet atmosphere, Ramirez wiped his mouth with a napkin calmly, then got up and followed Moyano.

After he walked out of the restaurant, the discussion sounded again:

"Why did the head coach find Juan?"

"Why else? It should be related to whether he can play or not?"

"To be honest, I hope Juan can play, but judging from his recovery in training, I'm afraid it's not very optimistic to catch up with us and the Chinese team..."

Ion Martinez saw Joaquin Bella, who was at the same table as him, frowning and remained silent, so he touched him: "Why this expression?"

"I was thinking, if the captain can't play, how can we limit the offensive of the Chinese team?"

Ion patted him: "Don't think so much. Although without Juan, our defensive hardness will drop a bit, but we will make up for this problem in other ways. Just like we did in the game against Costa Rica."

"Ion, don't you also believe the nonsense of the media?" Joaquin Bella lowered his voice, almost lying on the table to speak. "Is the situation in Costa Rica the same as that of the Chinese team? Does Costa Rica have a Hu?"

"Uh…"

"That's it, they both scored our two goals. Then please think about it, what will our defense do when it faces Hu?"

Ion was speechless. As Hu Lai's teammate in the club, he certainly knows how powerful Hu Lai is.

"The captain is well aware of this, and that's why he wants to be ahead of the pack.

back before the game. "

Ion frowned and clicked his tongue: "The captain wants to catch up with Hu's match...it's difficult!"

The head coach of the Spanish national team, Keili Borja, looked at Juan Ramirez in front of him and said slowly: "The opinion given by the medical team is not to recommend you to play in the first game. Your knee It still hurts..."

"It's just a little pain. Mr. Borja." Ramirez said eagerly, "I exert myself when I'm normal and healthy, and occasionally there will be some pain in my knee. That's a normal physiological reaction!"

"I can understand your feelings, Juan. But we should be cautious. The game against China is only the first game of this World Cup. There are two more group games. If you are in this first game The injury has worsened, what should we do next?"

Borja advised.

"Take a step back and say that even if we fail to win the match against the Chinese team in the first game, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com we still have two group matches left. By then you can return with a healthy body, yes The team's help is obviously greater than your forced appearance in the first game. You are the captain, and you have to consider issues from the interests of the whole team."

Juan Ramirez opened his mouth and was blocked by coach Borja's last words.

That's right, he is the captain, he can't act willfully.

But he wanted to say to Borja:

It was because I was the captain that I wanted to play against Hou Lai.

As if reading his mind, Borja continued: "I know what you're worried about, but you have to trust your teammates, Juan. Give them confidence and cheer them on in the stands."

Ramirez bowed his head, silent.
