Chapter 443
With the exception of the first training session, which was open to the media, all subsequent training sessions of
the German team were closed, and in Brazil, a country where security was not very good, the German top brass even called overseas special combat teams to station around the hotel where the German team was staying.
A few days later, Brazil's World Cup opener was held in São Paulo, with hosts Brazil taking on Croatia.
This is the second time that five-star Brazil has held the World Cup on its doorstep, which is also the bleakest World Cup for the Brazilian team, Da Luo, Xiao Luo, Kaka, Kafu and other gods have retired, and the
green and yellow Brazilian team does not seem to have a player who can be called a superstar except Neymar.
This match is Neymar's right name battle, and whether the new king of Brazil can be successful in the throne in the fans' mouths depends on his performance in this game.
Brazil's opponent Croatia has a very luxurious squad, two midfield masters from Real Madrid and Barca, Modric and Rakitic, sitting in the midfield, the forward is Bayern striker Ba Mandzukic
, the slightly less famous Croatia is by no means a fish belly, the opening battle, the Brazilian must be wary of the gutter capsizing, don't mess up the opener.
Loew organised the coaching staff to watch the TV broadcast with all the players, and the German team was aiming for the championship, they would meet Brazil as soon as the semi-finals,
knowing that the other side would not be able to fight unprepared.
Japanese referee Yuichi Nishimura blew the whistle for the opening of the World Cup in Brazil as the Samba began their journey to the title on their doorstep.
Brazil has been away from the Hercules Cup for 12 years since winning the World Cup in Korea and Japan in 2002, when Jiang Ge and Neymar were still children.
In these two teams, many players are Jiang Ge's teammates or former teammates, Brazil
has Marcelo and Gustavo
, and Croatia has Perisic, Modric and Olić.
Less than a minute into the opening minute, Croatia scored a touchline kick
, and the tall Croatian player played a small area in Brazil's backfield, and Inter's youngster Mateo Kovacic hit the ground from outside the penalty area, and the ball deflected off the goal, which was the first shot of this World Cup.
In the fifth minute
, Brazil won a free kick opportunity in Croatia half, Brazil squeezed five high points in the Croatian penalty area
to grab points, Marcelo drove a free kick and hoisted the ball to the right of Croatia's goal
, which is a rehearsed free kick tactic, the Brazilian player accurately grabbed the point, returned the ball to the most concentrated position of teammates in front of Croatia,
explosive head David Luiz jumped high to grab the first point, The header relay headed towards the goal, Brazil's first shot of the World Cup, and within the goal frame,
the ball was easily confiscated by goalkeeper Preticosa because the angle was too correct and the power was not very strong.
In the 11th minute, Croatia broke the ball to launch a counterattack
, Jiang Ge's former teammate, Olic from Wolfsburg broke through with the ball on the left and killed near the bottom line of the Brazilian team, he did not cut inside, unexpectedly sent a low flat ball to the center
, the ball penetrated the defenders, Mandzukic and Rakitic inserted the point successively
, the ball was touched by Mandzukic's feet, refracted and Marcelo standing in front of the goal was caught off guard, The football hit his calf and bounced into the net.
No one would have thought that the first goal of this World Cup in Brazil turned out to be an own goal, and Croatia scored the first goal of this World Cup, and it was Brazilian full-back Marcelo who scored for them.
Fortunately, just over ten minutes have passed, and Brazilian players and fans are confident of chasing back.
In the 15th minute, Oscar dribbled the ball near the Croatian right wing, sent an oblique long pass, sent the ball to the Croatian
goal, Brazil's all-time No. 9 Fred almost threw himself into the goal, where the ball he didn't find
, the ball fell backwards, Neymar made a volley and almost kicked the ball, No. 9 and No. 10 predicted the ball not a little worse.
Oscar at his peak was indeed very strong, and in the 21st minute, it was his right wing that sent a scalpel-like straight
ball, receiving the ball from the violent bird Paulinho, who was well known to Chinese fans, and under the defense of two defenders, he stumbled into the box with the ball, and volleyed at the tall
goalkeeper, the ball was like hitting the wall, and goalkeeper Preticosa confiscated the ball.
This attack, Oscar's passing and straight blocking, Paulinho's combination of people and balls under the interference of defensive players can see the shadow of the world's top teams, but the kick in front of the goal is really 108,000 miles worse than Big Robbie.
A few minutes later, Neymar, who switched to the right wing
, dribbled the ball to the edge of the bottom line, dribbled the ball along the bottom line to the direction of the goal, got rid of the defender and sent a low pass to the goal, the two players inserted by the Brazilian team did not touch
the ball, and the Croatian defender kicked the outside in the confusion, and Oscar, who was guarding the perimeter, luckily received the ball outside the line of the big penalty area, did not make adjustments, and took advantage of the defender's volley before the defender pounced
The ball went to the top left corner of the goal
, and the goalkeeper with long arms, Preticossa, had excellent vision and concentration, flew to the left and just happened to save the ball.
In the 30th minute, the two sides had a scuffle in the midfield, the in-form Oscar snatched the ball from under Modric's feet, and sent a straight ball
forward, Neymar was very agile in running, accurately predicted Oscar's passing line, and got the ball two steps forward
, Croatian players are very aware of Neymar's power, two defenders immediately leaned over, Neymar
took a step to the side, dodged a certain angle, After
a slash from outside the top of the penalty area, the ball flew against the turf towards the goal, goalkeeper Preticosa reacted quickly and fell to the ground, even though he straightened his arm, only touched the ball between his fingers, failed to prevent it from entering the net.
Neymar ran to the left, the ball went to the right, the angle was extremely tricky, and even if the goalkeeper reacted quickly, he only hated that his arm was not long enough.
"Goooooooal..." The ball went in and the Brazilian fans went crazy!
This is Brazil's first goal for its own team in this World Cup! It was Neymar who scored!
Fast forward to the 60th minute, when Croatia made the first substitution, adding a defender and removing an attacking player, who seemed satisfied with drawing with Brazil in the opener.
A few minutes later, full-back Lovren made a mistake in a cross at the back and was tackled by the astute Neymar.
It turns out that Croatian players who don't have "strange" in their names are not very good, and sending a slow cross pass is not looking for death?
Fortunately, Neymar's attack did not form a single knife, even if Brazil won a free kick, Alves' shot directly sent the ball to the stands.
The brainless Lovren's disastrous performance was not over
, and in the 71st minute, he brought down the mighty Fred in the box and gave Brazil a penalty.
Neymar's penalty was scored in a thrilling way as Brazil beat Croatia 2-1.
In injury time, Madaosta Jr. scored the ball straight in the middle of the field with two defenders, 3:1, Brazil won the opener!
After watching the broadcast, Loew specifically mentioned two people, one is Neymar and the other is Oscar, who will meet Brazil in the future, these two are undoubtedly the most threatening players.
From the point of view of physical conditions and technical characteristics, the German team and the Croatian team are somewhat similar
, and with Croatia's previous experience, the German team seems to be able to take fewer detours when encountering Brazil.
Before the disbandment, Loew reiterated the discipline of
the team, Germany will play their first group game against Portugal tomorrow, and he does not want another discord in the team similar to the conflict between Ergou and Jiang Ge.
