After the team resumed training the next day, the Chinese team players watched the full video of the match between Algeria and Brazil in the conference room.
The final score of this game was 4:0. The Brazilian team defeated Algeria, showing their style as the favorites to win the championship. They also came out of the haze of the draw with Russia in the first round of the group stage.
The player of the match who was elected after the game was the Brazilian team’s midfielder Kendall Kabangka.
Not only did he have a goal and an assist in the game, he also allowed Algeria's midfielder Illie Sedery to receive two yellow cards on him and was eventually sent off with a red card.
Although the score is very different, it does not mean that Algeria's performance is poor.
In fact, they fully demonstrated their fighting spirit in the game, and the whole team worked very hard.
Sadeli was sent off precisely because he worked too hard...
But this kind of hard work is meaningless in the face of the Brazilian team's technical superiority.
At first, the players of the Chinese team were quite happy when they saw Algeria being suppressed by Brazil.
Especially when Sateri received two consecutive yellow cards and was sent off within five minutes, there was a burst of applause, cheers and whistles in the conference room.
This person caused Gao Ruimin to quit the national team early and caused Zhang Qinghuan to perform poorly in the first game.
Now he is like a clown in front of Kabangka, being played around in circles. In the end, he can only get angry, get a card for a foul, and be expelled from the game... It is simply that evil will be rewarded, and it is not that the time has not come for failure to retaliate!
But as I watched, no one said a word. When we arrived at the conference room at the back, except for the sound of the game video, it was quiet.
Because they all realize that this is the opponent they will face next.
And this opponent is so powerful...
After they drew with Russia, they once thought they could also compete with Brazil.
As a result, let’s see how Brazil defeated Algeria?
Their rapid passing and cutting in a small area made the Algerian players walk like dogs.
The "killing machine" Sateri, who gave the Chinese team players a headache and changed their expressions upon hearing it, could only choose to foul in embarrassment.
Are the Algerian players not working hard enough?
No, they fought hard. Just like in their first game against the Chinese team, they went all out and everyone was running tirelessly.
But it is precisely because of this that the Chinese players were shocked - Algeria, with such a desperate attitude, was no match for Brazil.
So we faced such a terrible opponent in the last group match?
In the last twenty minutes of the game, the Brazilian team already led by four goals. They obviously slowed down their pace and began to make substitutions and adjustments.
At the same time, Algerian resistance also ended.
Faced with the Brazilian team, which obviously slowed down its pace, they did not fight with the opponent like before.
Perhaps they were aware of the huge disparity in strength, which made it unnecessary for them to continue fighting. Perhaps they were too ambitious but not strong enough - at this time, Algeria still had one less person fighting, and its physical energy consumption was huge.
When the referee blew the full-time whistle, the Brazilian players celebrated their victory on the court, while the Algerian players were dejected and swallowed the bitter fruit of defeat.
After the game video was played, the lights in the conference room turned on again.
Shi Wuyin walked to the TV screen, looked at his players and said: "This is the strength of the Brazilian team, they are very strong. Don't be misled by the result of being tied with Russia in the first round - they obviously did not play against Russia.
Try our best. But in the last round of the game, they will not be able to beat us with the mentality of playing Russia. So we will encounter the strongest Brazil in the game, and their desire to win is also very high. After all, as long as
If they beat us, they will be first in the group."
What he said are all facts. The Chinese players in the audience listened expressionlessly, without making a sound or whispering to each other.
“But!” Shi Wuyin suddenly changed the subject.
"But this is a good thing for us. Remember what we said before coming to the World Cup? 'This is the first World Cup trip for Chinese football, and it is also an opportunity to go to the World Football University for further study.' Since
It is for further study, and of course we hope that we can learn real things. If our opponents don’t pay attention to us and don’t take us seriously, can we learn anything? We can’t learn anything. If you think about it carefully, after playing these two World Cup games,
Have you all gained some insights or improved? When you return to the club after playing in the World Cup and face your opponents in the league, will you have completely different feelings and opinions from before? "
No one answered Shi Wuyuan’s question, but many people did show thoughtful expressions.
"Just like Hu Lai." Shi Wuyin suddenly clicked Hu Lai's name. Hu Lai raised his head slightly, thinking that Director Shi was asking him to answer a question. But Shi Wuyin just waved his hand at him: "Just like Hu Lai. He is here
When he was playing in Flash Stars, everyone had played against him in the league, or played with him in Flash Stars. I think you all know what level he is at. But after playing in the Premier League for a month and a half
After the season, you will also see what kind of ability he has in the World Cup qualifiers and this World Cup. This is the growth that can be brought about by training, learning and training in high-level competitions. I hope all of you can
It doesn't matter if you keep growing like Hu Lai, even if it's a little slower, as long as you're making progress."
Some people turned to look at Hu Lai. Under everyone's gaze, he straightened his back and raised his head slightly, like a proud little rooster.
But no one would think that Hu Lai was showing off.
Because they know that Director Shi is right, Hu Lai's progress and growth are visible to the naked eye. In the team's training matches, Hu Lai is completely ahead of them.
This improvement is not simply reflected in the number of goals scored, but is reflected in many details related to football matches.
For example, the judgment of the situation on the field, the ability to read the game, the rationality of actions, the confidence when picking up the ball...etc.
These comprehensive qualities ultimately allowed Hu Lai to perform best in the game, and allowed fans to see who was the "golden thigh" on the field at a glance.
In addition to Hu Lai, Luo Kai has actually improved. However, he has been abroad for too short a time, and he is playing in the Eredivisie, which is not as good as the Premier League, so the improvement is not as obvious as Hu Lai. But as teammates, everyone is the same
It can be experienced from daily training.
"Therefore, when we faced an all-out, powerful Brazil in the final round of the group stage, I was happy. This joy was the joy and excitement of eager to compete with the masters. The World Cup happens every four years.
How can we have fun if we can't play against a truly strong team when we come here? How can we be worthy of the price we paid to come here?"
Having said this, Shi Wuyin paused, looked around at his players, and continued: "If you all agree with me, then in the following training, each of us will devote ourselves to preparing for the game. Then.
Show your best condition to meet the Brazilian team, don’t worry about the result of the game, use your best self to challenge powerful opponents, and play to your heart’s content!”
He saw many Chinese team players straightening up from their seats, and the expressions on their faces changed.
So Shi Wuyin knew that what he said really touched the hearts of these players.
After Shi Wuyuan finished speaking, assistant coach Li Zhifei stood up and analyzed Brazil's tactical characteristics for the players:
"...Although they are a South American team, the Brazilian team's game rhythm is not slow. They have delicate skills at their feet and are good at using the skilled skills and cooperation between two or three people to open up gaps in local areas, and then suddenly accelerate.
Especially their core midfielder Kabangka. He is fast, has good skills, can pass, shoot, and lead. He is very troublesome to defend. Against Russia, we can freeze Romano by arranging the bus and gritting his teeth.
Husband. But against the Brazilian team, there is no way to contain the Brazilian team's offense in this way, especially against Kabangka. Different from Russia's characteristics of positional warfare, the Brazilian team is better at playing mobile warfare. Their
The offense is all about passing the football, players running towards each other, and creating opportunities through fast running and changes in rhythm...
"Even if we shrink our defense and cannot defend within our own thirty-meter zone, the opponent can use their excellent personal skills to complete single-point blasts, thereby disrupting our defense... So it is useless to defend against Brazil.
It will only make us die very frustrated... During the game, each of us has to run and use more running to defend. This requires everyone to put in more physical energy, but this is the last group match.
Don't think about what will happen next, just treat this game as the final!"

“Yesterday’s victory over Algeria was very important.”
Early in the morning, Marcos Hoerna, the head coach of the Brazilian national team, summoned the members of the coaching staff to have work discussions while having dinner in the restaurant.
but the brazil team currently has one win and one draw with four points after playing two rounds in the group stage. it ranks first in this group. as long as it defeats the chinese team in the last round, it will advance as the first in the group.
Herner’s statement was agreed by other members of the coaching staff. Assistant coach Joe Victor nodded and said:
"That's right. If we didn't win, everyone's mentality would not be different. Now, we can face the Chinese team with a calm mind - I guess the Chinese team will try their best against us.
, if we are too anxious, our performance may be affected. Now, no matter how hard the Chinese team tries, we have enough room for maneuver."
"But don't relax too much because of this. The Chinese team has proven their strength in the first two games, and their teamwork has left a very deep impression on me." Hoehner reminded his men. "This point
I will emphasize this to all the players during today's training. Look at Russia, we are not a 'must win'!"
※※※
When Russia took the corner kick, Romanov suddenly dropped the Chinese defender next to him and rushed forward.
This caught the Chinese team defender off guard and prevented him from attacking immediately. But he did not give up the defense.
Then I saw him supporting his teammates with both hands, using his teammates as a springboard, and using his strength to jump up!
Leaped into the air in an incredible way, surpassing Romanov in height, and pushed the football back before him!
Just after hitting the ball, he lost his balance and fell headfirst!
The picture stopped abruptly at this moment and was artificially suspended.
Hörner pointed at the blurry Chinese team player on the TV screen with the remote control in his hand, and said to his team members: "Let me ask a question: Does anyone know this person's name before this game?"
The Brazilian players in front of the TV looked at each other, and no one stood up to answer the question.
Obviously, they don't know.
They know Hu Lai, and maybe a few people who pay special attention to the Chinese team know Luo Kai.
But other than that, in their eyes, the other players of the Chinese team are just a group of NPCs who look exactly the same. They stand in a row in front of them and can't see any difference.
"His name is Wang Guangwei, or as the Chinese call him, his name is Wang Guangwei. The 24-year-old young central defender is 1.86 meters tall and weighs 70 kilograms - this is the official website of FIFA's World Cup
The information given. But I think this weight data is inaccurate, because it is absolutely impossible for such a thin body to guard Romanov, but he did it. So I think this may be because the FIFA official website has
The defenders of the Chinese team also know nothing about it. Their information may have been submitted by the Chinese team officials during the qualifiers and has not been updated until now. Or maybe it was simply filled in randomly..."
At this point, Hener shrugged and spread his hands.
"An unknown person who didn't even know the official website of FIFA was responsible for confronting Ivan Romanov for ninety minutes and only conceded one goal. At the end of the game, he risked paralysis and made a
Such an amazing rescue... Did you hear the point of what I said? The point is that the person who can stop the 'Terror Ivan' was unknown to us before! According to our information, he is just an ordinary person.
The Chinese team players are 'others' besides Hu!" Hoehner raised his voice, as if giving a warning.
"So if you think that the Chinese team only relies on Hu, you will suffer a big loss in the game and be very unlucky! So no matter what, you must remember: Our opponent in the next game is the Chinese team, not the Chinese team.
Hu Lai!”
The Brazilian national team players present raised their heads slightly, looking at the blurry figure on the TV screen, and remained silent.
