Chapter 222 An anxious game

As time gets closer to the game, the atmosphere in the national team is getting more and more dignified. Even according to what Wang Ai said, the delegation has tried its best to ease the atmosphere, but the long-term inertia is not so easy to change. There are fewer and fewer smiling faces, and even Wang Ai feels a little out of breath.

Although Wang Ai tried his best to adjust the atmosphere and tell some jokes when he had nothing to do, the effect was mediocre, because the premise of a successful joke was that others wanted to laugh.Therefore, at this stage, Wang Ai has nothing to do. Even the family condolences group came to visit the class before June 6, but it didn't make the international players really relax.

Amidst Wang Ai's worries, the time has come to June 6th, and China's first match in the World Cup is coming soon.

At 14:[-] in the afternoon, the Chinese national team set off from Xinyang Park Hotel to Gwangju Stadium. Although the international players were talking and laughing happily on the bus, in Wang Ai’s view, most of the conversations were incoherent. On a channel, it's all about comforting each other with trepidation, the nervousness is hidden in the deepest part of my heart.Sitting in the last row of the bus, Wang Ai and Sun Yi knew clearly the true emotions of the international players.Speaking of it, the Football Association is really good to Wang Ai. The popularity and value of other national football players are much higher than Wang Ai, but only Wang Ai came with a guard. Tuan is one of the "staff" who are not qualified to say their names.

At 15:[-], the Chinese national team made final preparations in the locker room of the Gwangju Stadium. Milu emphasized that the sideways of the national team should be opened, and the team doctor with the team conducted a final check on the physical condition of the main players of the national team.Uncharacteristically, Nan Yong, Zhu Heyuan and other leaders of the Football Association did not deliver impassioned speeches. Instead, they asked the international players to try to speak lightly.

Ten minutes later, the Chinese team and the Costa Rica team entered the field. The two sides played the national anthem, guessed sides, and warmed up. At 10:15, the game officially began under the witness of commentators, cameras and hundreds of millions of Chinese fans around the world.

Wang Ai, who was wearing a substitute yellow vest, sat among the international players and carefully observed the game situation.While CCTV cameras occasionally pan over the bench, no one notices.Although this game is the first game, for the Chinese national team, it is almost equivalent to a life-and-death battle.The two opponents, Brazil and Turkey, are too strong. If they fail to beat Costa Rica, it basically means that the Chinese team has no hope of qualifying for the group stage.

On the coach's bench, Milu was wearing an orange T-shirt, watching the game with a slightly nervous expression.

Five minutes later, Wang Ailuo felt relieved.The cooperation of the Chinese team is extremely proficient. The multiple training sessions in the past two years have indeed forged this team from various clubs across the country into a whole, and there are very few mistakes in cooperation.At the same time, the state of the international players is also very exciting, and the offensive and defensive rhythm is also very fast.It can be seen from the few minutes of the start of the game that the Chinese national team has indeed achieved the "overall football" that the Football Association and people in the circle respect.No matter how good the technique is, almost no international footballer chooses to dribble, and they all quickly promote the offense through organization and cooperation.

The Costa Rica team's cooperation is a little worse than that of the Chinese team, but their personal skills seem to be stronger, especially in terms of personal awareness. They dare to make moves and can do them well.At the same time, the defensive players move a lot and defend fiercely.

In the first 15 minutes, the offensive and defensive rhythms of both sides were very fast. Just as the Chinese team regarded the Costa Rica team as a belly and a hope for qualifying from the group, Costa Rica also viewed the Chinese team in the same way.Therefore, both sides are well prepared and highly targeted.Due to the relatively good personal skills of the Costa Rican players, the Chinese team carried out the overall football to the end.And also because of the overall style of play of the Chinese team, the Costa Rica team has strengthened its fierce defense in the backcourt, and used personal dribbling in the frontcourt to attract the Chinese team's multi-player defense and create breakthrough opportunities.

In short, the first 15 minutes of the game were very tense, neither side had any good offensive opportunities, not even a regular shot, and repeatedly destroyed each other in the midfield.Relatively speaking, the performance of the Chinese team seems to be better, with longer possession of the ball, at least the organization and cooperation look beautiful, but there is no way to really threaten the opponent's goal.Whenever the football is passed to the midfield, especially the front of the penalty area, it is either destroyed or lacks opportunities, or it can be said that no opportunities are created.
