People are always used to calling the Brazilian team the "world champions", but in fact the defending champion of this World Cup is not Brazil, but Italy.
It’s just that everyone calls it that for all countries that have won the World Cup.
World champion Brazil.
World champion Italian team.
World champion Argentina.
World champion French team.
…
In the sport of football, people always have some feelings towards the country of Brazil.
Because they are the national team that has won the most World Cup titles in world football.
A total of six World Cup championships have been won in history, namely the 4th World Cup in Brazil in 1950, the 6th World Cup in Sweden in 1958, the 10th World Cup in Germany in 1974, the 11th World Cup in Argentina in 1978, and the 12th World Cup in Spain in 1982.
World Cup, the 17th Japan-Korea World Cup in 2002.
In the eight years from 1974 to 1982, the Brazilian team won three consecutive World Cup championships, creating an unprecedented record that no team has been able to achieve so far.
Even themselves.
During those eight years, Brazil's domestic football talents continued to emerge, talent exploded, and many historical legends emerged.
Not only were they able to win the championship, but their playing style was extremely gorgeous, and they perfectly combined performance and enjoyment, which made them popular all over the world. They have won the love of many fans not only in Brazil, but also around the world.
It has also earned Brazil the reputation of the "Kingdom of Football".
Modern football, a sport that originated during the British Industrial Revolution, eventually became the most dazzling pearl of Brazil, a colonized country in South America, after its independence.
Until now, when many people mention Brazil, the first thing they think of is football.
Just like the misunderstanding that everyone is a table tennis master in China, people think that in Brazil, no matter men, women, old or young, they are all football masters. Just like music to black people, football is also integrated into the blood, bone marrow and genes of Brazilians.
.
The level of football management in this country is actually quite low. They do not have a systematic national league. Each state's football association operates independently, and corruption is frequent in football association departments at all levels... If we really talk about the capabilities and reputation of the football association, the Brazilian Football Association is not even as good as the Chinese Football Association.
.
But Brazil has been able to win six World Cups and become a universally recognized "kingdom of football." It must be said that the god of football has many preferences for this country.
The Brazilians have such a profound heritage that no matter how bad the management is of their teammates, there will always be a talent spurt every once in a while, allowing Brazilian football to achieve greater glory.
In this World Cup, the powerful Brazilian team remained undefeated in the qualifying rounds and advanced to the finals with the first place in South America. They came to the United States with only one purpose - to win the World Cup for an unprecedented seventh time!
Become "Seven Stars Brazil", as eye-catching as the Big Dipper in the sky.
But what stands in their way now is a new team entering the World Cup for the first time.
The Brazilian team was not as proud as some Chinese fans expected before the game.
After the opening, they used two consecutive threatening shots that made almost all Chinese fans sweat.
Then they took advantage of this momentum and continuously launched attacks on the Chinese team's goal.
Almost every time, he can threaten the goal guarded by Lin Zhiyuan:
In the 13th minute, Fonseca suddenly passed the football from the wing. Kabangka, who was also pulled to the wing, turned around deftly and got rid of the Chinese team's right back Bai Di, who was closely guarding him, and then gave full play to his ability.
With his speed advantage, he dribbled the ball down into the penalty area and then passed the ball.
The football passed through the most crowded area in front of the goal and flew to the corner of the penalty area. The captain's right back Leonardo Kevil rushed up and shot the ball without stopping. The football was slightly higher than the crossbar.
In the 17th minute, the Brazilian team's right midfielder Marquez sent a cross from the wing. Yao Huasheng, who was defending at the front point, missed the ball and the ball was leaked to the goal. Brazilian forward Tavara stopped the ball with his chest.
Then he picks up the ball and turns around to volley!
If Wang Guangwei hadn't stuck to Tavala and stretched out his foot to block the interference, this kick might have threatened Lin Zhiyuan's goal.
In the end, Tavala kicked the anti-aircraft gun, and the football flew high over the crossbar and into the unobstructed stands behind.
The fans in the stands rushed to reach out to catch it, just like a stone thrown into a pond, causing ripples in circles.
In the 23rd minute, Kabangka moved to the right wing again. After receiving the pass from captain Kevel, he adjusted his pace and faced the Chinese team left back Jiao Qirui who came up to defend him. There was no unnecessary fake move.
Just move the football to the bottom line, and then...accelerate!
The moment he took the football out, Jiao Qirui tried to destroy it with his foot, but missed it!
Not only did he not kick the football, he also lost his position because of it, and Kabangka overtook him from the outside and slipped into the penalty area!
"Kabonka is coming in, be careful!" He Feng saw this scene in the commentary box and screamed in fright.
Kabangka broke into the penalty area and took another step forward, and the football rushed towards the bottom line.
The defensive players of the Chinese team all pounced on him, trying to guard him - Jiao Qirui, who was passed by, turned around and chased after him. Chen Xingyi passed by him and chased to the bottom line. Yao Huasheng also pounced on Kabangka.
Wanting to block his pass, three Chinese players surrounded Kabangka near the baseline!
Just when the football was about to roll out of the baseline, Kabangka caught up with him, then swept the football towards the center of the penalty area with his left foot and passed the ball in an inverted triangle!
He did not pass the football to forward teammate Lima Bidu who was outflanking the goal, but to another forward Cesar Tavara who took advantage of Yao Huasheng's rush to grab him!
"Be careful...be careful!!" As He Feng screamed, Brazil's high center forward Tavara swung his leg and volleyed!
Lin Zhiyuan abandoned the goal and rushed towards Tavara, and the football went under his crotch!
After hitting his heel, his line changed slightly, but he still got into the net...
"Oops! The goal was scored! Tavala! The Chinese team conceded the goal less than 25 minutes into the game!" He Feng said with regret.
"Kabonka's personal ability is so strong. Facing him, every move our defensive players make is as if the network is delayed. They have to be half a beat..." Yan Kang sighed. "And he is chasing him.
When I was playing football, I had time to turn my head and look in front of the goal, as if I was strolling... It was so relaxed, so relaxed..."
Tavara, who scored his first goal in this World Cup, ran excitedly to Kabangca, who assisted him. The two hugged each other in front of the Chinese team's goal, and then more Brazilian players ran
Come up, surround them and celebrate the goal.
The background for them is the Chinese team players holding their heads and looking up to the sky with sighs.

"Damn!" Zhong Shihao still couldn't hold back the curse words.
However, his voice did not attract the attention of others in the subway car, because everyone's attention was focused on their mobile phone screens.
After swearing, Zhong Shihao wanted to raise his head when he heard a clicking sound coming from his cervical spine...
"Depend on!"
He clutched the back of his neck and cursed again.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!" Yan Yan said in the WeChat group.
Chu Yifan said: "There is no way, the Brazilian team is too strong, Kabangka is as famous as Melli..."
"That's what I said, Captain Chu. But I still feel unhappy when I see the ball lost!"
"Adjust your mentality. I don't expect the Chinese team to not lose in this game. No matter how many goals we lose, as long as the Chinese team can score one, I will be personally satisfied."

In the stands of Pasadena Stadium, Brazilian fans danced wildly and set off yellow waves.
In contrast, the Chinese fans wearing red jerseys held their heads and stood motionless in their seats.
So the stadium was half alive and half silent.
Shi Wuyin lowered his head and raised his head to look at the sky, and then said to the frustrated Li Zhifei next to him: "It doesn't matter, Lao Li, it doesn't matter. Anyway, we expected that we would definitely lose the ball, and we also expected that we would lose the ball early..."
Li Zhifei said nothing and just shook his head.
Yes, they took all these situations into consideration before the game.
But taking it into consideration does not mean that we have considered it. When this happens, we will really not be regretful or depressed.
In front of the Brazilian team's coaching bench next door, head coach Marcos Hoerna was not very excited. He just clapped to express congratulations and encouragement. Then he walked to the sidelines, pointed to his temples, and reminded the players not to be too excited and to stay focused.
calm.
After all, we are only one goal ahead now.
He Feng and Yan Kang, who saw this scene through the broadcast camera, said with emotion: "Brazil still hasn't lost its calm after taking the lead. It's really scary!"
Xie Lan was a little unhappy: "Why do you keep praising the Brazilian team? It only boosts others' ambitions and destroys your own prestige!"
Li Ziqiang didn't say anything, but Hu Lixin said: "It's true. This Brazilian team is already very strong. If you don't be proud and underestimate the enemy, it will be really scary..."
Li Qingqing, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Uncle Hu, actually the Brazilian team underestimated the enemy."
"Huh?" Hu Lixin didn't expect Li Qingqing to say that, so he cast his doubtful eyes over.
Li Ziqiang also turned to look at his daughter.
Li Qingqing smiled under everyone's gaze: "As long as the Brazilian team can win this game, it will be first in the group, no matter how many goals it wins. With the strength gap between Brazil and us, they will not have four offensive players in the midfield.
Player, right? But that's what Hoerna did. He played four offensive midfielders, and there was no one who focused on defense. The defense in the midfield was mainly taken care of by Carlos. I think this is because he despises the Chinese team from the bottom of his heart.
Performance……"
When Li Qingqing was talking, the two men looked thoughtful and nodded directly after hearing this.
They also think what Li Qingqing said makes sense.
In this game, the Brazilian team played 442. The four midfielders are Dudu Carlos and Kendall Kabangka in the center, Cardoso Tonini on the left, and Marquios on the right. These four people are offensive
Stronger than defensive.
Although Hoena allowed Carlos to take care of defense during the game, it was better than nothing.
This kind of midfield staffing is of course designed to score more goals.
But why put so much emphasis on offense and hope to score more goals?
Perhaps deep down in Hener's heart, he believes that there is no problem in defeating the Chinese team. The only suspense is to win a few goals.
But why score so many goals when you can guarantee first place in the group by just scoring three points?
It can only be said that in the view of Hoena, the Brazilian head coach, Brazilian football is offensive football, and the Brazilian team should do its best to provide wonderful and beautiful football games to the audience.
What is a wonderful and beautiful football game?
Score more goals of course!
This idea is completely rooted in the bottom of the heart of the Brazilian, Genna, and it belongs to the "underlying logic" that cannot be changed no matter how many high-sounding reasons are used. He himself may not feel that there is anything wrong with this idea...
Therefore, when he faced the Chinese team in the third game, it was natural for him to arrange such a lineup that emphasized offense.
"So we may not have a chance." Li Qingqing said the last words to Xie Lan.
On the court, the game has resumed.
The Chinese team kicked off again.
Hu Lai kicked the football back to the half-court, and then shot three arrows with Chen Xingyi and Luo Kai into the Brazilian half.
Everything is just like when the game just started.
