Chapter 488 Opener

"Bai, I heard that you want to win against Brazil?" On May 5st, at 31:19 pm, Bai Xiaotian, Milu and the national football team watched the opening game of the World Cup together in the hotel.

After the special version of Football Night was broadcast, Bai Xiaotian's remarks caused an uproar at home and abroad.

It doesn't matter if the French team can't go far, or if they want to beat the Brazilian team.These two views are not drafts sent to Bai Xiaotian by Football Night at all, but they are the fuse that can arouse fans' wanton discussions.

For a while, some people said that Bai Xiaotian was "a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers", and spouted wild words; others said that Bai Xiaotian was young and full of confidence.

But no matter what, the show was broadcast, and judging from the feedback data from fans, the effect is not bad.

Although Bai Xiaotian is pessimistic about the French team, but Bai Xiaotian's slogan of "beating Brazil and striving to be first in the group" to qualify has won the favor of most fans.

No matter how much you try to persuade yourself to recognize the reality, in the deepest part of the fans' hearts, they still want to see the national football team be invincible all over the world.This is the Chinese fans!
"I didn't say we have to win, but it's good to score a point against them!" Bai Xiaotian pulled a bench and sat down next to Milu.

"Aren't you afraid that what you say will disrupt the arrangement of the Football Association?" Milu asked Bai Xiaotian, staring at Bai Xiaotian as if he had nothing to do with him.

"The arrangement of the Football Association?" Bai Xiaotian asked back, "Is the Football Association going to play the World Cup or the National Football Team to play the World Cup? Every game in the World Cup is very important. How can there be such a thing as "abandoning the car to protect the handsome"? Could it be that the National Football Team has completely given up the competition with the Brazilian team, retained its strength, and won the remaining two games? Not necessarily!"

"That's not enough to fight the Brazilian team! Knowing that it can't be done, how can this be the Chinese style? If you fight against the Brazilian team, what should you do if the players are injured or get a card? Wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss?"

"Mr. Bo La's Chinese is getting better and better, and he even used two proverbs correctly in a row!" Bai Xiaotian didn't answer Milu's question, but looked straight into Milu's eyes.

After Milu and Bai Xiaotian looked at each other resolutely for a few seconds, they waved their hands and turned their heads to one side. They were defeated and said, "Okay, okay, I really lost to you! But I'm a foreign teacher after all, and I still have to listen to the requirements and suggestions of the Chinese Football Association!"

As the coach of the national football team, it is simply a dream to let Milu play football in the way of the Football Association!

Counting the national football team, Milu has led five weak teams to the World Cup.Winning the strong with the weak is Milu's signature skill, so he won't really listen to the Football Association to make adjustments!

But everyone knows how fucked the Football Association is!

"Oh!" An exclamation interrupted the conversation between Bai Xiaotian and Milu.

Both Milu and Bai Xiaotian focused on the screen, and the camera was replaying Fadiga's goal just now.

Senegal's Diouf evaded Desailly's tackle and made an inverted triangle cross from the bottom line on the right, but Fadiga pushed with the instep of his left foot 16 meters in front of the goal and was firmly hugged by Butters.

The lineups of the two sides in the opening game did not differ much from the pre-match predictions. Without Zidane, the French team's defense line was pressed to the 35-meter line in front of the goal.But Senegal's midfielder is very tight, especially Djorkaf, who is watching the dead passer, trying to nip the opponent's offensive in the bud.

Shortly after the opening, Senegal's shot count was significantly higher than that of the French team.

"Bai, what do you think of this game?" As if he didn't want to talk about the team's strategic planning, Milu changed the subject.

"It's easy for France to win, but it's easy to lose!" Bai Xiaotian replied.

"Oh? How do you say?" Milu asked.

"If the French team puts all their heart and soul into playing against Senegal, it will not be difficult to win the game. But if the French team wants to preserve their strength, it is estimated that they will stumble!"

"Isn't it?" As a fan of the French team, Zhao Junzhe also approached from the side and said, "The French team was the last champion, and there are players with strong offensive ability like Henry and Trezeguet on the team. It is not easy for them to lose!"

In the picture, after Henry took the ball in the frontcourt, he turned around and passed it diagonally to Trezeguet on the edge of the penalty area.Trezeguet dunked the defender and hit a curve ball with his right foot 17 meters in front of the goal. The ball hit the right post of Senegal and popped out of the baseline.

The top scorer in Serie A just missed his first World Cup goal of the new century.

"Look, the striker of the French team is in good condition! If you make some adjustments, the next one will be a goal!" Seeing Trezeguet's center post, Zhao Junzhe also gained confidence.

He is convinced of Bai Xiaotian, a player who is one year younger than him, but he is convinced in terms of skills. In terms of vision, he still thinks he is of a certain level.

After all, this is the opening game of the World Cup, and the strong French team is playing against the weak Senegal. Any fool knows which side has a better chance of winning.

But at the moment when Zhao Junzhe was shouting for the French team he supported, in the 30th minute, Djorkaeff made a mistake with the ball in the midfield, and Senegal left back Dave quickly intercepted the ball and passed it out.

Diouf evaded Leboeuf's interception, broke through to the left baseline and pushed across the middle.Butters hesitated, and chose not to attack.

But Petit's left foot pass back was subconsciously blocked by Butters, Lens midfielder Boo Diop who fell to the ground quickly stretched out his foot and shot into the net.

In an instant, Senegal took a 1-0 lead.

The appearance of this goal directly silenced the national football players who supported the French team in the lobby.

Like Zidane in the stands, I couldn't believe this moment.

No one thought that the powerful French team would allow Senegal to score the first goal of this World Cup because of a mistake.

"Look, Senegal is leading!" Bai Xiaotian said briskly, "If the French team doesn't take it seriously, maybe they will lose the ball!"

The French team conceded a goal, and Zhao Junzhe lost the confidence he had before.

But after hearing Bai Xiaotian's words, he still said stubbornly, "It's okay, there's still time for the game. The French team is just careless, and it will be a matter of time to tie the score!"

However, the 1-0 scoreline lasted 60 minutes.In stoppage time, Henry's consecutive three-foot shots were miraculously resolved by Senegal goalkeeper Silva, and finally he could only swallow the bitter fruit of a 0-1 defeat.

Looking down at the blue and white army, including Milu, they all opened their mouths in surprise, watching the team that entered the World Cup for the first time celebrate their victory.

"This, this is unbelievable!" Until the referee blew the whistle to end the game, Milou hadn't recalled the French team's overwhelming shots.

"What's incredible about this?" Bai Xiaotian said easily from the side, "I said a long time ago, if the French team still retains the "pride" of the last World Cup and wants to preserve their strength, then they may not even be able to make it to the group stage. Look, this game is just the beginning!"

"It's simply unacceptable!" The shocking result made all the national football players present sigh.

"It's nothing difficult to accept." Bai Xiaotian said again, "In the opening match of the World Cup in 1990, Cameroon, which entered the World Cup for the second time, also defeated the defending champion Argentina 1-0? At that time, Argentina still had Maradona!"

Hearing Bai Xiaotian's science popularization, the national football players all shut their mouths tightly and stopped talking.

But Bai Xiaotian didn't seem to stop, and continued, "Senegal also entered the World Cup for the first time. They can beat the mighty French team. Why can't we win against Brazil?"

As soon as the words fell, all the national football players' eyes lit up, as if they saw a new world.

Bai Xiaotian and Milu beside him looked at each other, "Mr. Bora, I think the result of the French team will make the Football Association make concessions!"
