The strongest winger

Chapter 1132 Opener

The unique appearance of the Brazilian team was beyond everyone's expectations, and it also attracted the cheers of countless fans at the scene. With the passage of time, the opening game of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil officially kicked off.

The Brazilian players participating in this World Cup may not be the worst Brazilian national team, but they can definitely be said to be the most mediocre team.

In the frontcourt, apart from Neymar and Oscar who are well-known to a certain extent, striker Fred is not known by many people in the world, and the double midfielder partner Gutaswo is only well-known in the Bundesliga. His partner Paulinho is needless to say. The Brazilian accident is not well-known at all...

How can such a mediocre Brazilian team help the historically magnificent five-star Brazil to create another great cause?

Obviously, the World Cup journey is a long way to go for the current Brazilian team.

But I have to say that the Brazilian team still has a certain chance to make it to the end by taking advantage of the home field. After all... the most important thing in a football game is the attribute bonus from the home field. '

On the contrary, Croatia's overall is not weak.

From the perspective of midfield configuration, Croatia can even wrestle with all the powerful players in the World Cup. The core of their midfield is Modric who has won the Champions League with Chelsea and Valencia. His partner is the core captain Rakitic who led Sevilla to the Europa League.

Coupled with the talented teenager Kovacic from Inter Milan, before the game, the Croatian coach Blazevic even said: "We are not afraid of anyone, because we have the best midfielder in the world!"

It is worth mentioning that the German media "Transfer Market" disclosed that Barcelona has already taken a fancy to the Croatian midfielder Rakitic. It is said that as long as the price is right, this transfer will be realized...

And the talented boy Kovacic has also received the attention of Real Madrid. If nothing else, the Croatian midfield trio will represent the three giants of La Liga and stage the Croatian international derby...

Brazil and Croatia have only played against each other twice in history. The first time was a 2005:1 draw at the Split Arena in 1, and the second time was in the group stage of the 2006 World Cup in Germany.

Although Brazil is unbeaten against Croatia, the start of the game was not good for Brazil.

The first goal of the 2014 World Cup opener in Brazil came in the 10th minute. Modric instigated an offensive in the middle. Former Bayern star Olić accelerated directly on the left, and then suddenly swept the ball to the middle of the goal when he was 15 meters away from the bottom line. Forward Jelavic missed the kick.

Coincidentally, Jelavic's rush shot missed the target but caused Marcelo, who defended in the middle, to make a mistake and shoot the ball into his own goal.

In other words...the first goal of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil appeared here, and the first goal was an own goal....

It is worth mentioning that Marcelo's goal is also the first goal in the history of the World Cup with an own goal as the first goal of the World Cup.

I don’t know if the first goal conceded was an own goal, which aroused the fighting spirit of the players. In the next period of time, the Brazilian team took advantage of the home court to directly take over the game. In the absence of the head striker Mandzukic, they had to retreat to the half.

22 years old, No. [-] jersey, Neymar is the hope of Brazilian fans looking forward to the World Cup.

At the national anthem playing ceremony before the game, Neymar shed tears while listening to the overwhelming national anthem. He played the World Cup for the first time, and he knew that he carried the hope of 1 million Brazilians!

In the following game time, he also showed his super personal ability, which made Croatia's defense frequently make mistakes.

But... the Brazilian team controlled the rhythm of the game, but it seemed a little bit of power and not scoring. The impatience of the players was vividly reflected after losing the ball.

It was not until the 29th minute of the game that the Brazilian team relied on Neymar's performance to equalize the score.

At that time, Oscar intercepted the ball near the center circle and directly launched a counterattack. Neymar got the ball and rushed forward.

1:1
This is Neymar's 50nd goal in the 32th national team game. He rose to the 9th place in the national team's historical scorer list, and because of this goal, he became the youngest 50-game player in the history of the Brazilian team.

In addition, this goal is also the No. 10 player of the Brazilian team who scored in the World Cup for the first time after the World Cup in Korea and Japan.

Croatia quickly adjusted its strategy after conceding the ball and put more attention on defense. It showed a defensive posture only half an hour after the start of the game.

At the end of halftime, the Croatian's tactics were very successful, and they entered the locker room with a score of 1:1.

※※※

In fact, the game is not within the control of the Croats.

Although their defense is in place, there is no way to maintain the score.

In the 69th minute, Oscar made a diagonal pass from the side. Lovren reached out and pulled Fred, who fell to the ground. Lovren received a yellow card and gave Brazil a penalty.

As the only hope of Brazilian fans in this World Cup, Neymar took the initiative to take this hard-won penalty.

He withstood the pressure and shot the ball into the goal, and the Brazilian team took the lead! !

"This is Neymar's 50rd goal in 33 games for the national team. At a young age, Neymar is already the top 10 scorer in the history of the Brazilian national team, second only to Pele with 77 goals, Zico with 66 goals, Ronaldo with 62 goals, Romario with 55 goals, Bebeto with 39 goals, Rivaldo with 34 goals.

At the same time, the commentator of Brazil's national television chanted hysterically, cheering for Neymar.

The game continued, and the two sides made personnel adjustments to address their respective problems.

It was not until the 91st minute that Brazil relied on Oscar's goal to expand the score.

Ramirez intercepted and divided the ball in one go. Oscar started to dribble the ball from near the center circle. Facing the frontal defense of the two Croatian central defenders, Oscar showed no sign of fear.

Like Neymar, it is memorable that this goal is the 30th goal scored by Oscar in 10 national team games, and it is also his first major goal. The previous 9 goals all came from friendly matches.

3:1
And this score is also the final score of the game.

The Brazilian team took the European powerhouse Croatia without any risk and won the opening game.
