Chapter 95 The semi-final is imminent
"Who will win?"
"Of course I hope China, after all, Belgium defeated us."
"We said so four years ago."
"But if Belgium loses to China, then wouldn't it be embarrassing for us to lose to Belgium? This shows that the gap between us and the Chinese team is a bit big?"
Brazilian fans are very conflicted. They want to support the Chinese team, but they think Brazil is losing value. Many Brazilian fans appear at the St. Petersburg Stadium and are still watching the World Cup.
They wore yellow Brazilian jerseys and thought their home team was coming here to play the semi-finals, so they booked tickets, air tickets and accommodation in advance, but they failed to have a wish, but they still came to the scene.
Indeed, if Brazil beats Belgium in the previous Kazan game, then it is indeed coming here to play the semi-finals with the Chinese team.
Unfortunately, they eventually lost to their opponents and went home early. The Brazilian team went home early, but the fans needed to determine their itinerary early. Many Brazilian fans booked air tickets and accommodations to St. Petersburg several days in advance, because if they didn't book in advance, they might have to sleep on the streets.
"Once China's old man Dong completely withdrew from the Chinese national team, the opportunities for other teams will come. Now, please believe that this guy will continue to create miracles. Since the Chinese team can reach the semi-finals, they will have the ability to win the championship. If I were a gambler, I would definitely keep betting on him, and there would definitely be no second choice. Just like if there are Pele or Maradona in our team, you must believe them."
"Don't underestimate Ronaldo. Ronaldo also entered the semi-finals. Perhaps the final final will be China vs. Portugal. This year, the national team among the two superstars won the World Cup championship, and Belgium and Croatia are a little worse."
"C Ronaldo is very strong, but he is also much weaker than China Dong. Judging from their previous duels, C Ronaldo has also won less and lost more. History shows that there will always be great players in the coming of the King of Football, both C Ronaldo and Messi."
As a Brazilian fan, I was also drunk when I was worried about other countries. Who said that there was only one Neymar in the Brazilian national team in recent years, and it could not shake the strength of the top three in the world. In the past, fans of other countries envied Brazil's many stars, but now Brazil does not have such an advantage. After the top superstars such as Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and Kaka retired, Neymar was unable to lead Brazil to recover, and Brazil no longer had its former glory.
At this time, the St. Petersburg Stadium was already crowded with people. Chinese fans were wearing red robes and Belgian fans wearing white robes competed with each other. The fans on both sides almost dyed the stands red and white. On the other side of the Chinese red, fans waved the five-star red flag, and the gongs and drums shook the sky, and their momentum was obviously even stronger.
Through the live broadcast, you can also see several Chinese football celebrities sitting in the VIP seat, both of whom won the 2014 Brazil World Cup championship. Chen Tao and Qu Bo, who have retired, have both followed the Chinese team to win the World Cup championship. Originally, Zhu Ting should have appeared here, but when the World Cup started, Zhu Ting broke out a scandal and returned to China in shame.
Next to them was Zhao Junzhe, but Zhao Junzhe was not so lucky and failed to win the championship with the national team. However, his current identity is the Minister of Logistics and Equipment Department and is the leader of the Football Association.
On the other side of Zhao Junzhe were Sun Jihai and Shao Jiayi, who were also world champions, and they whispered from time to time and smiled.
In the live commentary stand, Duan Xuan and Huang Jianxiang had already started live broadcasts, and nearly 600 million people across the country are watching their live broadcasts.
“We have now got the list.”
"Belgium should be playing in the 343 formation, because there is a missing fullback, head coach Martinez has changed the formation. 343 also means that Belgium will attack us. Like the French team before, the Chinese team's defense will continue to withstand world-class tests."
"Goalkeeper: Courtois."
"Defenders: Aldevelde, Vertonheng, Kompany."
"Midfielders: Witsel, De Bruyne, Fellaini, Dembele."
"Forwards: Hazard, Lukaku, Chadley."
"This Dembele is not the French Dembele, and its reputation is not as great as that of France, but its combat effectiveness is not inferior to him."
"On the Chinese team, goalkeeper Zeng Cheng, defenders are Wang Gang, Feng Xiaoting, Zheng Zhi, Li Xuepeng, midfielder are Huang Bowen, Zhao Xuri, Wu Xi, Zheng Zhi, forwards are Wei Shihao and Feng Jin. Wu Sanshi didn't have this, which is surprising. Dong Fangzhuo seems to have a very smooth tactic. Wei Shihao and Feng Jin have no height advantage, but they have speed and technical advantages. In fact, I think the Chinese team is still in a frontless formation today. Dong Fangzhuo, Feng Jin and Wei Shihao are all players who can fight alone and play team-cooperate, and can maximize the frontcourt role."
"The Spinach Company is a little optimistic about Belgium and has drawn the handicap of Belgium. In addition, they think this game will be a big ball game, and the combined number of goals between the two sides is estimated to reach 3. But the last game between the Chinese and French teams was only 1:0. I don't really believe that this semi-final can be played, after all, it is the World Cup semi-final."
"For the Chinese team, facing the impact of Hazard, Lukaku and De Bruyne at the same time today is no less than the combination of Mbappe, Griezmann and Karu. Especially De Bruyne and Hazard, both of them are players who can pass, break and shoot. It would be terrible to have one such player, Belgium actually has two at the same time."
"The Chinese team needs no need to say more. The performance of the whole team is related to Dong Fangzhuo. We have to admit that Dong Fangzhuo is our greatest hope. All teammates revolve around him. He is the only core of the entire team."
"What surprised me was that Dong Fangzhuo made a big adjustment in this game. Feng Jin, Wei Shihao, Wu Xi, Li Xuepeng, Wang Gang, nearly half of the players have no experience in the World Cup semi-finals, but Dong Fangzhuo still made bold changes. These players will also be the main players of the 2022 World Cup. After this World Cup, it is estimated that many players will withdraw from the national team stage, such as Zheng Zhi, Huang Bowen, and Zhao Xuri. It is basically impossible for players such as Zheng Zhi, Huang Bowen, and Zhao Xuri to have the 2022 World Cup. The only thing they can expect is Dong Fangzhuo..."
...
...
The national anthem was played at the St. Petersburg Stadium, and Dong Fangzhuo led his team to the World Cup final again. Every player was singing the national anthem, his eyes focused and his face was full of perseverance.
