At 3:40, the starting players from both sides led the ball boy and followed the referee into the court.
They were greeted by cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami.
A Barcelona fan looked at Li Chuanqi in the Spanish team and said in his heart: Li, if you can help Spain win tonight, I will not boo you in the World Cup!
Li Chuanqi saw his family in the stands behind the Spanish bench at a glance.
My father did not wear formal clothes today. He wore a Spanish team uniform like his brother. My mother, sister, and Blanca Padilla also wore Spanish uniforms.
The number on their bodies is No. 17, which is Li Chuanqi's number in the Spanish team.
Li Chuanqi did not compete with his teammates for the jersey number. He liked the number 17 very much. This was his number in Santa Malaga.
Apart from commemorating his time at Santa Malaga, he doesn't think the jersey number means anything.
Pele and Maradona don't wear the number 10 jersey, they are also the kings of the ball.
Because they passed on the No. 10 jersey, this number was given special meaning.
It's like the emperor doesn't sit on the Dragon Throne, he is still the Emperor. Whichever chair he sits on, that chair can be the Dragon Throne.
Li Chuanqi waved to his family.
"Brother is waving to us!"
The younger sister shouted happily.
My mother shook her head helplessly and said to the father beside her: "Look, there is no lady here? You are used to it!"
Dad laughed heartily: "My daughter, Li Xianqi, will never be a lady!"
Mom shook her head gently.
There are also several special personnel in the stands, they are assistant coaches from Chile and Australia.
They are here to observe the opponent's situation.
The Spanish national television commentator loudly said: "The Spanish team embarks on the road to defend its title!"
Guest commentator Raul said: "I hope they can come true and break the curse on the defending champion!"
The commentator nodded and said: "Definitely! Li and his teammates will surprise us!"
The commentator on Dutch national television loudly said: "This is the Dutch team's best chance for revenge!"
Guest commentator Gullit said: "We will get our wish!"
The British Sky Sports commentator loudly said: "As the players from both sides enter the stadium, the showdown between the Netherlands and Spain is about to take place!
In the final four years ago, Spain won the Hercules Cup for the first time with Iniesta's goal, achieving its highest glory and prestige.
Four years ago, the Netherlands became the biggest loser. This game was called a "battle of revenge" by Dutch players, media and fans, which fully demonstrated the Netherlands' determination to win.
This is the first match in Group B of this World Cup and the first strong dialogue since the start of the tournament, which has attracted great attention from fans around the world.
Li said domineeringly in an interview before the game that he was here to win and win the championship.
Van Gaal said that he has been having a good time in recent years and hopes that this game will wake him up.
Van Gaal said that the Dutch team has found a way to contain Lee, which is to cut off the connection between him and other teammates. Can the Dutch team do this tonight? We will wait and see!"
The Australian TV commentator said loudly: "We will now introduce to you the starting lineups of both sides.
Bosque arranged a four-three-three attack formation, goalkeeper: Casillas; four defenders: Juanfran, Pique, Ramos, Alba; three midfielders: Busquets, Xavi, Alonso;
Three forwards: Lee, Diego Costa, Iniesta!
Although Casillas has been dropped from Real Madrid's main lineup, Del Bosque still believes in him and arranges for him to start and serve as captain on the field.
The four defenders are all experienced players. Juanfran helped Atletico win La Liga and the Champions League this season. Pique and Ramos have been famous for a long time. Ramos performed brilliantly in the Champions League this season...
The striker composed of Lee, Costa and Iniesta can be called the most luxurious striker in the world.
Lee and Costa have proven in La Liga and the Champions League that they are the best strike partnership in world football today, plus Iniesta...
Is there any striker more luxurious and dazzling than this?
Van Gaal arranged a 5-3-2 formation: goalkeeper: Sillisson; four defenders: Janmaat, Vlaar, de Vrij, Indy, Blind; three midfielders: De Guzman, Sneijder
, De Jong; two forwards: Robben, Van Persie!
The Dutch team is also dazzling with stars, especially in the midfield and frontcourt. Which player is not a superstar?
With five defenders, Van Gaal’s tactical intention tonight is very obvious, which is to focus on defense, so their tactic is defensive counterattack.”
The commentator on German national TV said: "Five defenders? Van Gaal knew that the traditional four defenders could not withstand Spain's sharp attack, so he added a defender.
But can he do it?"
The commentator of France 2 said: "There are many things to watch in this game. First of all, for the Dutch team, this is a battle of revenge. Can the Dutch team get what they want?
Secondly, for Lee, this is his World Cup debut, and Van Gaal believes that he will not have an amazing performance in his debut.
The Spanish media immediately rebutted, citing Neymar as evidence.
Li's counterattack was more direct. He asked Dutch reporters to take a look at his various debut records!
As far as we know, whether in the Copa del Rey, La Liga, Champions League or the national team, Li has performed well in his debut, so we have reason to believe that he will perform well tonight!
Of course, it all depends on how the Netherlands will contain his performance!"
Major TV stations analyzed the starting lineups of both sides. The players on the field had already entered the stadium, and there were endless cheers in the stands.
At this moment, the New Water Source Stadium in El Salvador is a grand event!
"drop!"
At four o'clock on time, the referee blew the whistle to start the game, and Costa kicked the football back into the backcourt.
The Spanish national television commentator loudly said: "Spain's road to defending its title has officially begun!"
Commentator Raul said: "May God bless the Spanish team!"
The commentator on Dutch national television shouted: "The battle of revenge begins!"
Guest commentator Gullit said: "We will definitely complete our revenge!"
Under the pressure of the Dutch midfield and frontcourt, the Spanish team calmly moved the football to the frontcourt and launched the attack!
As expected, there were several players beside Li Chuanqi. Their intention was very obvious, which was to prevent Li Chuanqi from getting the ball and to cut off his contact with his teammates.
Li Chuanqi suddenly accelerated and cut inside, and Harvey made a cross pass to transfer the football to his feet.
Seeing that Li Chuanqi was about to get the football, De Jong dropped his center of gravity and knocked him down!
"drop!……"
The referee blew the whistle and gave De Jong a verbal warning.
The commentator on German national TV said loudly: "The Dutch team's purpose is very clear, not to give Li a chance to get the ball!"
