At the Olympic Stadium in Porto Alegre, Brazil, both sides finished lining up and the national anthem was being played.
The first match of the 2019 America's Cup for the national football team is about to take place. The opponent is Uruguay, the traditional powerhouse in the Americas.
On the bench, 18-year-old Ding Ga held his head high and sang the national anthem loudly along with the music, his heart surging.
Until this moment, he really believed that he could participate in the America's Cup and that this was not a dream.
Don't talk about him, most people in the national football team were surprised that the meritorious general Wu Lei was eliminated instead of the rookie Ding Ga, including his Chunlei companions.
At this moment, apart from Zeng Cheng, the second goalkeeper, there are 11 Chun Lei on the national football bench, all young and eye-catching.
Perhaps, this unexpected adjustment in personnel entry and exit is a signal about the future development process of the national football team.
Although the number '22' is a bit big, Gazi feels far more beautiful than the number '6' he wears in the Bayern echelon.
——What’s wrong? Isn’t the captain also 18? If possible, I will always wear No. 22 from now on.
.
Zhuoyang shook hands with Uruguay captain Diego Godin and exchanged team flags.
The 32-year-old Godin just announced last month that he was leaving Atletico Madrid, where he had been playing for nine years. His contract had expired and his next club has not yet been determined. Two unemployed captains.
"Zhuoyang, tell me secretly." Godin and Zhuoyang are relatively familiar with each other. "Who will win when you fight Venezuela?"
The two had a lot of grievances in La Liga back then, but they have long since passed away, leaving only old friends and sympathy for each other.
Zhuo Yang winked. "Does that need to be said?"
Godin gave a thumbs up: "Awesome."
Zhuo Yang said: "The person who told you is not allowed to fight today and play football well."
"A must." Godin smiled.
"Especially your Suarez, if he dares to bite anyone today, I will wedge all his teeth out."
Godin laughed: "Hahahaha~~"
Compared with Venezuela, Uruguay has many famous players, and the most famous one at present is undoubtedly 2-1-2.
The double forwards are Su Ya and Cavani, and the Atletico Madrid double central defenders Godin and Jimenez. The midfielder is Bentancur, who plays for Juventus.
The rest, two full-backs, AC Milan's Laxalt on the left, Juventus Cáceres on the right, goalkeeper Muslera, midfielder Lodeiro, Nandez, Inter Milan Vecino, are also
Not an unknown person.
The national football team was not frivolous when facing its first opponent. It adopted the safest strategy and continued to use the old lineup proven by the World Cup.
Zhuo Yang is forward, Gao Taiwei is the shadow forward, the two midfielders are Li Ke and Kadasi, and the two midfielders are Azhe and You Laoguan.
Goalkeeper Xiao Yan, center backs Tiedan and Eunuch Jiang, and Maro on the right.
Only the left back was replaced by a new player, but instead of full-time Pang Tiezhu, "Ice Cream" Peng Mingzhi was used as a guest star.
In terms of reputation, the national football team is definitely more popular than Uruguay, because Zhuo Yang defeated them all by himself.
But if Zhuo Yang is not counted, there must be a slight gap between the others and Uruguay in terms of reputation and paper strength.
However, from last year's World Cup third-place tour, the biggest gain for the national football players was their self-confidence. They had the confidence to compete head-on with any team.
After the opening, on South American soil, the national football team turned the tables and pushed the Uruguayans back into the half-court with an aggressive momentum.
.
For Uruguay, in the game that is broadcast live around the world, the player they are most concerned about is not Godin, Suya or Cardano, or even Zhuo Yang.
Youdeshui - Tabare Bujudes was born in Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay, 30 years ago.
Cardassio - Matias Cardassio. Born in Montevideo 32 years ago.
The two abandoned sons of Uruguayan football and Uruguayan traitors faced their home country today and turned against them.
They are the focus of Uruguayan media attention.
Before the game, with the permission of the national team, the two accepted exclusive interviews with Ukrainian media.
You Deshui said: "Thank you to Uruguay for training me. I am very happy in China, my family is also very happy, and I enjoy everything I have now."
Kadasi said: "For me, the meaning of this game is a little different. But for my team, this is an America's Cup group stage."
Very official, very decent, and very cautious.
But if they don't hold back and beat the shit out of Uruguay, no dog will believe it. The second devil has always been more ruthless than the real devil.
.
In just two minutes, the national team created a dangerous situation.
Zhuoyang attempted a long-range shot, but Muslera, who was concentrating on it, saved it and the national team won a corner kick.
Azhe drove from the opposite side and found the front point of the low ball.
The short Yu Deshui bent forward to meet the ball and headed the ball backwards. Laxalt, who was running closely behind him, was caught off guard and was hit in the face by the raised football.
The football bounced back, bounced back and forth a few times between the two bodies, and bounced out of the bottom line again.
You Deshui suddenly raised his hand and said: This guy has a handball.
Referee Anderson Dalonco, a muscular Brazilian man, stopped the game with a famous whistle. He also felt that he was suspected of being a thug.
Out of caution, Dalonco requested an off-field var.
However, the national team did not get the result they wanted. After watching the video replay, Dalonco believed that Laxalt's arm did not leave his body and was a ball hitter, giving Uruguay a goal kick.
Zhuoyang applauded his teammates and signaled to come again.
So, it really came.
In the 6th minute, Youde Waterfront suddenly started to move, relying on speed and change of direction to get rid of Laxalt.
Lieutenant Gao moved forward and Zhuo Yang took the middle position, forcing Jimenez and Godin to follow closely.
You Deshui passed the ball high into the air.
Kadasi interspersed in place, seized the position in the corner of the penalty area, first used his right thigh to cushion the ball, and then picked the ball with his left foot over the head of the busy Cáceres, chasing the ball straight into the hinterland of the penalty area.
When the ball is rounded, he hits it, sticks to the ground and cuts into the goal from close range. The net is raised high back by the inertia of the football.
1:0, Cardassi celebrated with joy, he didn’t care what the Uruguayans were feeling.
He rushed to the bench to give high-fives one by one, hugged or bumped chests with the teammates who came over one by one, meekly accepted Zhuo Yang's head-touch, and finally hugged You Deshui tightly.
I am happy, but you are the ones who are embarrassed.
Two Uruguayan traitors, two squids, one passed the ball and the other scored, and they celebrated so ostentatiously. At this moment, the Uruguayans watching TV were holding their shit in their hearts.
Years later, Kadashi, an aging resident of Beijing's Chaoyang District, said: "I didn't score many goals in the national team. The one that impressed me most was the first game of the 2019 America's Cup. Yes, the one who scored against Uruguay in the opening game."
"That pick-up ball and then bounced into the goal was definitely the most beautiful goal I've ever scored in my career. Do you know? The feeling of scoring that kind of goal... is incredible."
"I have been playing football on the streets of Montevideo since I was four years old. I am familiar with everything there and know every household on the street."
"After that goal, I never went back to that street, I never went to Montevideo, I never went to Uruguay again."
"I have forgotten what they look like now."
