The strongest winger

Chapter 1173 The Eve of the Semifinals

Scolari is looking for the weakness of the Chinese team, why isn't Guardiola looking for the weakness of the Brazilian team?
Especially in the case of Thiago Silva's accumulative yellow card suspension, Guardiola saw that the weakness of Brazil's defense became more and more obvious.

Guardiola is going to take advantage of this. He is going to use the pass-and-control football that the Chinese team is proud of to control the game. Although Wu Xi will be absent in the next semi-finals, he believes that the team's midfield operation will not have too many problems.

Zhang Xizhe can solve the offense in the midfield. Huang Bowen's ability is not as strong as Wu Xi's, but there is still no problem in making long passes and splitting the ball.

Taking advantage of Wu Xi's absence, he can also try Huang Bowen and Zhao Xuri's partners.

With a strong midfielder Zhao Xuri in the midfield, at least the Chinese team will not be too weak in interception in the midfield. At that time, the midfield players can spare more energy to attack, and then rely on Ai Luo's super personal ability to harass the frontcourt. It will not be too difficult to win the game.

To solve the problem of offensive and defensive balance, Ai Luo and others can take turns attacking the huge weakness of the nerve knife David Lewis. I believe that as the game progresses, David Louis will be under more and more pressure, and the exposed problems will also be greater.

On the day before the game, the Chinese team conducted the last joint practice at the venue provided by the Brazilian organizing committee.

In this regard, Brazilian fans will naturally not let the Chinese team prepare for the game so easily.

Although the venue provided by the Brazilian organizing committee is closed, don’t forget that this is on Brazilian soil. The Brazilians on this land are all fans of the Brazilian team. As long as they don’t pay attention when performing their duties, it will be convenient for those die-hard fans who want to interfere with the Chinese team’s preparations.

really!

Not long after the Chinese team was conducting technical and tactical drills, a loud noise suddenly sounded from the periphery of the stadium.

Faced with this situation, Guardiola can only suspend the training, because the huge noise prevents the players from concentrating on the training. If the training is forced, it will very likely cause unexpected interference to tomorrow's game.

In the last week, Guardiola could only ask the team leader to negotiate with the person in charge of the stadium.

However, the fans who insisted on harassing were well prepared and always left the perimeter of the stadium before the security personnel came out, and when the security personnel left, they started making noise again.

Going back and forth several times gave Guardiola a bit of a headache. In the end, he could only give up, cancel the last run-in of skills and tactics before the game, and change it to restorative training.

He feels that the team has been well-formed anyway, even if there is no way to break-in before the game, the game will not be able to enter the game as soon as possible, but a game is 10 minutes, as long as the game can be won, it will take longer to enter the game. There is no problem.

Faced with this situation, Captain Ai Luo was also very annoyed. He secretly made up his mind that tomorrow's semi-final will definitely let these fans know-how many eyes does Prince Ma have!

The Chinese team is the favorite to win the championship. The last practice before the game naturally attracted the attention of many media. Although they have no way to watch the Chinese team's training in the stadium, they can wait for the training to finish and interview the players.

So those who stayed outside the stadium caught the huge news-Brazilian fans harassed the Chinese team in the last practice!
The media from China naturally felt great displeasure. As the host, how could they do this?

Is this the so-called way of hospitality?

At the same time, the Brazilian media is also upset. Although they don't want the Chinese team to have a good preparation environment, they don't want their fans to harass in such a blatant way.

This is completely discrediting the entire country!
In the 21st century, the speed of information dissemination is astonishing. The news that Brazilian fans interfered with the Chinese team’s preparations spread quickly all over the world. Most fans expressed their dissatisfaction with this practice of Brazilian fans.

Especially the Chinese fans who are thousands of miles away, they have already started to scold their mothers, but it's just... nothing.

An hour later, the Chinese team ended their recovery training, and the organizers allowed the media to enter the stadium again for interviews.

Media reporters can easily tell that Guardiola's face is ugly, and he expresses his strong dissatisfaction in the face of reporters' questions.

"Should we be treated like this because our opponent in the semifinals is the Brazilian team? Tomorrow is the semifinals, and today we are not given 1 minute of joint practice time? And... I want to ask, what are the security personnel doing in the stadium? Time and time again 'coincidentally' staggered the time with the rioting fans. Don't tell me that those fans are really so magical!"

As Guardiola's mood swings are getting bigger and bigger, the faces of reporters from local Brazilian media are getting darker...

The next day, almost all of the overwhelming reports came from the news that Brazilian fans harassed the Chinese team's last practice before the game.

Even the troublesome Brazilian fans didn't expect that their flashy choice would put themselves on the cusp.

Sanchez, the chairman of the Brazilian organizing committee, admitted his mistake to the media at the first time, and then announced that through the replay of closed-circuit television, the troublemakers were confirmed, and then those rioting fans who had semi-final tickets were expelled from the semi-final stadium.

Sanchez's move is quite beautiful, showing a selfless look, which can be regarded as temporarily relieving the crisis of face damage.

The 2014 Brazil World Cup semi-final between the Chinese team and the Brazilian team was the first semi-final of this World Cup and was held at the Mineiro Arena in Belo Horizonte.

There is no doubt that this game is full of seats, the whole stadium is full of yellow Brazilian fans and red Chinese fans.

It is worth mentioning that on the day of the game, half a day before the game, the Mineiro Arena was surrounded by fans from both sides. With the improper harassment of Brazilian fans yesterday, the security personnel of the Mineiro Arena are well prepared this time.

Because yesterday’s incident has been fermented for a day, many Chinese fans are very dissatisfied with what the Brazilian fans did. Even if Sanchez apologizes, there is still no way to make the Chinese fans feel better. Therefore, the security personnel of the Mineiro Arena need to remind 100% to focus on the fans of both sides.

If there is a large-scale brawl before the game, it will also damage the face of the entire country...

As time passed, the first semi-final of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil drew closer and the atmosphere of the game became more and more frenetic.

The attention of the fans on both sides gradually returned to cheering for the team they supported, which also let the security personnel of the Mineiro Arena breathe a sigh of relief...
