Chapter 617 The Second Battle
A few hours later, another game in the same group also ended. Portugal defeated Côte d'Ivoire 2-0 in the first game, and Ronaldo scored twice.
In this way, Portugal is temporarily at the top of the list in Group A, Brazil and China are tied for second (because Brazil has a high international ranking, so it is temporarily second), and Côte d'Ivoire is at the bottom.
Not surprisingly, the death group fell into a complicated situation after the first round. The Chinese team, which was originally considered the weakest, created the first big upset of this World Cup.
2 is better than 2!
After the game, there was already a lot of scolding in Brazil, and many fans even demanded that Deng Jia should be fired immediately, so as not to be ashamed anymore.
Many people also said that this Brazilian team is undoubtedly the weakest in history. "They really don't deserve the Brazilian team's jersey," said an old fan shaking his head.
"I thought we would encounter a little difficulty when we played against Portugal. What I didn't expect was that we couldn't win the first game. It was too bad,"
But there are also rational fans who said, "The Chinese team is rising rapidly, and they also have the World Footballer. A tie is bitter, but it is not unacceptable."
Compared with the different attitudes of ordinary Brazilian fans, the football king Romario seemed very excited when he was interviewed.
"Rubbish",
"It's all rubbish",
"I have never seen such a rubbish Brazil team",
The host tried to change the topic several times, but Romario was still very, very excited. After all, in Romario's era, Brazil was one of the five best teams in the world, but what about now?
"Stop scolding, let's analyze the reason",
"reason"?
"Hehe, first of all, Deng Jia is incompetent, and secondly, Brazilian players only have money in their eyes. They only want to play for the club. You know, when I played football, the national team was higher than the club, but now it has changed, the evil FIFA."
"Some people say that the Chinese team is underestimated, they may not be as weak as imagined," the host said.
Romario said: "But we are Brazil, and we went to the World Cup to win the championship."
The implication is that the Chinese team may have improved, but what is it in front of the five-star Brazil?
"Let's look at the second game, we are going to face Portugal, what do you think, stop cursing, the boys are uncomfortable enough."
After continuous swearing, Romario also calmed down, "I don't know what Deng Jia thinks, I hope he can find a way to adjust the state of the team, there are not many opportunities left for us."
"Running out"?
"Do you mean that Brazil will be eliminated in the group stage"?
Romario is a Christian, he said: "Only God knows."
On this day, the whole of Brazil seemed to have lost its soul. In the end, even the president came out to comfort the people. This is Brazil, and football has been integrated into the blood.
But the president’s words were useless, but the consolation from the football king Pele helped. The first match of the World Cup was always difficult. Think about South Africa in 2010, when we played poorly in the first match against North Korea.
"Our players are all playing in Europe. They may have just finished the league half a month ago. They were going on vacation, but they have to cheer up to play again. It's like your boss telling you to work overtime on Saturday night. You will definitely feel very tired."
Pele was sensible and moved with emotion. Slowly, the Brazilian's anger decreased, and everything depends on the second game.

"Oh my god, I earned 100 million." After the game, Pharaoh went crazy with joy.
He spent 1 yuan before the game to buy the Chinese team to draw with Brazil, and the odds were 1 to 100. Lao Wang made 100 million overnight.
I remember that before the game, everyone called him stupid. Although they were all Chinese fans, most of his friends still bought the Brazilian team. Although it was only 1 for 3, it was a steady profit.
Unexpectedly, the Chinese team made such a big upset, which caught many people who gambled yesterday by surprise.
Lao Wang has already made up his mind, he will buy the Chinese team to win the second game, and he will buy the Chinese team to win as long as there are matches after that. Anyway, the money is brought to him by the national football team. Even if he loses in the end, he will still support the Chinese team.
In fact, in China, there are very few people like Lao Wang. Although most fans are optimistic about the Chinese team qualifying for the group stage, they all think that there is still a big gap between the current Chinese team and Brazil, and it may be possible to fight Portugal in the end.
The first game really gave the Chinese fans a big surprise. After the game, many fans shouted the slogan "National Football Team X".
The direct impact was that one day after the match day, the ratings of the World Cup special program "Banquet of the Giants" soared.
When Mr. Zhang Bin was hosting the show, he jokingly asked at the beginning: "Die Brazil, have you ever thought about it?"
"I thought about it",
"Well, that's a pretty good lie,"
Hehe laughed at the scene.
"According to the data I got, at least 6 million people in China watched the live broadcast of yesterday's game."
"Wow", everyone exclaimed.
"It is said that TV sets in many cities are sold out now",
"Hahaha",
"It is said that every goal scored by the national football team can boost GDP`0.1 percentage point."
There was another round of applause.
"I joined CCTV in 1993. I can say that yesterday was the happiest day I watched the game."
The program first reviewed yesterday's game, and in the second half of the program, the second opponent of the national football team, the ambassador of Côte d'Ivoire to China, was invited.
"Mr. Ambassador, did you watch the Côte d'Ivoire game yesterday or the Chinese team's game?"
The ambassador shrugged, "I didn't even watch it because I had to work."
Zhang Bin jokingly said: "Alright."
It's just two words, which have a lot of meaning. Everyone secretly laughed, because Côte d'Ivoire lost the game, so it's just not annoying if you don't watch it.
"The second game after 5 days, I hope you can take a look."
The ambassador nodded.
The ambassador was actually very funny. He finally said in Chinese, "I hope the Chinese team will be merciful."
Zhang Bin chuckled, "I can't guarantee this, because our coach is a Serbian."
The ambassador shrugged and thought to himself, "That's up to you, I don't know what will happen then."

In fact, while watching "The Feast of a Rich Family", many fans are also watching "Football Liaozhai" on their mobile phones at the same time.
"Football Liaozhai" is more exciting, because the scale of online programs is relatively large, and the host is also sharper.
"Jianxiang, answer everyone directly, have you ever thought that you will draw with Brazil?"Duan Xuan asked.
"Actually, I think further",
Duan Xuan smiled.
"The past is over, the World Cup schedule is very tight, what do you think of the second game"?
"I don't think there is any problem in the second game. The current Côte d'Ivoire will not pose a particularly big threat to the Chinese team."
"Don't look at Drogba's retirement. In fact, Côte d'Ivoire has completed the replacement of the old and the new. Their young people are very good."
"Yes, I have seen their roster, it is indeed very good, but youth itself is a problem, maybe in 4 years this Côte d'Ivoire will do a lot."
"What do you think of Jianhong?"
"I'm not as optimistic as Jianxiang. I think it might be a tie. Finally, I will fight for Portugal. After all, this is the group of death."
"How is that possible? If so, then Stan is an idiot. The second game is a life-and-death battle for the Chinese team. If they can't win Côte d'Ivoire, then the Chinese team is out of the game," Jian Xiang said eagerly.
Liu Jianhong chuckled, and Jianxiang's mouth was the sharpest. Of the three of them, Liu Jianhong sang bad faces, Jian Xiang sang bad faces, and Duan Xuan sang booing. This kind of program was very tense.
"Actually, I am supporting Huang Jianxiang this time, and the second game is the final of the Chinese team," Duan Xuan said.
"Why don't we temporarily go to Weibo to let everyone vote"?
Liu Jianhong waved his hand, "No need, I will definitely get scolded for this topic on the Internet, I am convinced."
Duan Xuan looked at the netizen's message, "Someone said that the second goal of the Chinese team was a bit of luck, and it was caused by the buttery hands of the Brazilian goalkeeper."
"Who, who said, ask him to come to the Tencent Building immediately, and I will argue with him face to face. If Li Qiao hadn't shot the ball well, how could the goalkeeper have let go?"
"Old Huang, don't get excited," Duan Xuan said.
"I can't help being excited",
"It's been 12 years, but Jianxiang's temper has not changed," said Liu Jianhong.
"No, I won't change anything about football. Football needs passion, otherwise it's not interesting. For example, Jianhong is not suitable for this program."
After talking, all three of them laughed. The show lasted for an hour and a half, and the online ratings were actually similar to "The Feast of a Rich Family", except that they could interact with netizens online simultaneously.
*****
During the World Cup, there are many games to watch every day. For fans, time passes quickly.
Soon, the Chinese team will face the second opponent - Côte d'Ivoire. The head coach of the "African Elephant" is the Frenchman "Dou Suye".
Because of the historical relationship, Ivory Coast football has a deep relationship with French football. Some people even say that Côte d'Ivoire is the French second team.
Before the game, "Dusuye" said that his team had no way out in the second game, and if they lost, they would be out early.
"We must defeat the Chinese team and retain the possibility of qualifying."
But the final result did not let "Dusuye" get what he wanted. Côte d'Ivoire also lost 0-2 in the second game.
In this way, Côte d'Ivoire became the first team to lose in this World Cup. After the game, Yaya Toure and Gervinho both shed tears, and their World Cup trip was over.
After the game, the attention of the Chinese team was all directed to another game, and then the kick-off game-Brazil VS Portugal, that game will directly affect the qualifying situation of the Chinese team.
Finally good news came, Portugal and Brazil played 1 to 1, this news is great for the Chinese team.
According to the rules, because the Chinese team and Brazil are 2 to 2, and Portugal and Brazil are 1 to 1, so if the Chinese team draws with Portugal in the final round, then the Chinese team will qualify.
