After the warm-up match ended, the following days became much more dull. The players went back and forth between the hotel and the training ground every day for the final training before the game. During this period, the fans of each team also increased. , Whenever the Italian team appears in people's vision, it will cause crazy cheers.

At this time, the Italian male models will try to stay as long as possible without affecting the schedule, sign autographs for enthusiastic fans, and take pictures instead of taking pictures.And at this time is the time to really compete for popularity. I have to say that in the eyes of the majority of Italian fans, the most popular player of the younger generation is Kenny. Facing the fans' crazy shouts, even Kenny himself did not To think that he would be so sought after when he did not play in his home league.

After all, the glorious moment of the European Cup Golden Ball has become a thing of the past, and Serie A, as the league with the highest level of competition in world football today, has many giant clubs that almost attract the attention of all fans in Italy. It seems that apart from the Champions League period, it is difficult for domestic fans to hear their own news in normal times.

But what Kenny doesn't know is that as the hottest supernova in European football, his reputation has entered a period of steady rise with his continuous high-profile performance. While Italian fans continue to receive various news about Kenny, they are also Gradually, he is regarded as the future leader of Italy. After all, in terms of the current development track of Kenny, it is almost difficult for anyone to match.

And this is also in line with the previous plans of Kenny and Mendes. Going to a club like Leeds United is to let the fans not forget themselves in the world football where there are many talents.

"Hey Lloris! Can you sign me for me, your performance is amazing, you will definitely become the most successful Italian player in the Premier League!"

"Loris, I love you so much!"

"Lightning! Lightning!"

For the Italian players, this is a happy moment, but also a moment that will inevitably make them nervous.

After ten years of hard work, today's Italian team can be called the strongest Italian team in history. Stars of different age groups are perfectly integrated into the group, and there will be no instability when the old and new alternate.Maldini and Toldo are in the final golden age of their careers. Del Piero, Inzaghi and others are playing in their prime. Young players like Kenny and Gattuso are even more aggressive. The Italian team, which people are extremely optimistic about, will gather countless eyes every time they appear in people's vision.

However, under such circumstances, the pressure also brings inevitable tension to the Italian players. Perhaps only when they really touch the ball on the field will their hearts calm down.

2002 5 Month 31 Day.

Under the eyes of the public, the 17th World Cup officially opened its mysterious veil. This is the first time the World Cup has come to the mysterious East. When the opening ceremony was staged in Seoul, South Korea, it must be said that it was performed by the Koreans. The "Oriental Charm" has indeed intoxicated people all over the world. 2300 actors jointly performed the opening ceremony performance with the theme of "From the East", using traditional Korean national culture and modern high-tech to dress up the opening drama of the World Cup with brilliance.

However, although this World Cup is jointly hosted by South Korea and Japan, the opening ceremony mainly shows the essence of Korean national culture.Koreans welcome guests from all over the world in their unique way, showing the splendid oriental culture. Compared with the artistic performances of the opening ceremonies of previous World Cups, the opening ceremony of this World Cup is full of Asian taste, while Koreans bring traditional culture The ingenuity of integrating modern high-tech into football has allowed fans all over the world to appreciate the charm of South Korea and football.

Of course, compared to the opening ceremony, fans all over the world pay more attention to the opening game between the last World Cup champion France and the new World Cup team Senegal.

Although so far many non-Asian teams have not been able to adapt to the hot and humid summer climate in East Asia, for this opening game, except for Senegalese fans, almost all fans of the world take it for granted that this game has no suspense .

法国国家队早在二十世纪50年代已是世界上其中一支强队，1958年世界杯在方丹、皮安东尼和雷蒙高帕带领下取得No.3，其中射手方丹在赛事中射入13球。80s以足坛传奇普拉蒂尼等为首的法国队带领球队于1982年世界杯和1986年世界杯打进四强，并在1984年取得欧洲足球锦标赛，同时也是法国国家队首次夺得大型国际赛事的锦标。

Despite being frustrated in the 1986 World Cup, Michel Platini and other famous players retired one after another. The French team also fell into a low ebb in the late 80s and early 90s. They were eliminated in two consecutive World Cup qualifiers in 1990 and 1994, and missed the finals.But at the end of the 90s, the French team headed by Zidane regained its reputation. They first defeated Brazil in the 1998 World Cup final to win the first World Cup in French football history. And lost to Italy, won the runner-up.

Therefore, although the French national team lost its core player Zidane before the game, they still included such strong firepower as the Serie A golden boot Trezeguet, the Premier League silver boot Henry, and the Ligue [-] golden boot Cisse. As well as Arsenal's champion midfielder Vieira, Real Madrid's iron waist Makelele, Juventus defender Thuram, Bayern full-back Lizarazu, and Manchester United goalkeeper Butters and other superstars.

Compared with the star-studded French team, Senegal's players are all unnamed.
But what everyone didn't expect was that facing the one-sided support rate, it was like the Senegalese who were enemies of the world gave a big blow to all the powerful players who entered the 02 World Cup.Papa Bouba Diop, an unnamed teenager who just transferred from Zurich Grasshoppers in the Swiss league to Lens in the French league, broke through the goal guarded by Manchester United's main goalkeeper Butters in the No. 30 minute of the game, helping Senegal 1-0 Take the lead first, and in the remaining time, although the French team aggressively attacked and various players played one after another, they failed to get a victory or even a draw in the end.

"The opening game is upset!The defending champion lost to a small African country, and Diop became a national hero in one fell swoop! "

"This is a football victory, the French paid for their arrogance! "

A little-known African team, Senegal, broke into the World Cup finals for the first time and pulled down the defending champion France!This news immediately became the most surprising and unbelievable news in world football immediately after the game. Before that, the Eastern and Western media predicted that Senegal would almost certainly lose, and believed that being able to draw with the French team was already a big deal. Was upset.

But this time Senegal, which was once colonized by France, pierced its own sword into the throat of the former colonizers. Diop's shovel shot in front of the goal in the No. 30 minute of the game made all the French and all French fans spend a lifetime had a depressing night.

While the whole world is in heated discussions, and the Senegalese are in a carnival, someone suddenly asks: Is the French team without Zidane still the French team?
Obviously, the Senegalese have already given the answer. Without Zidane, the French team lost the core part of the midfield, and Pires' injury at the end of the season left France without a second commander. This time, even Lady Luck was not on the side of the French, and Trezeguet's two-footed shot at the post was evidence of the French team's weak luck.

Although Zidane said before the game that their road to defending the title will be extremely difficult, because they will be lost.But no one thought that France would capsize so quickly. How could this not shock the whole world.The defeat of the French made Group A confusing. Before that, almost everyone thought that the form of Group A was very clear, but Senegal once again proved that there are no underdogs in the World Cup. It also proved that football is round. Things can happen.

The performance of the Senegal team is remarkable, especially their goalkeeper's brave performance, and he is fully capable of being elected as the best player in the game.He contributed a lot to the victory of the Senegal team. Now the whole world knows that there is a goalkeeper named Sival in Senegal in Africa.

Under such circumstances, what makes the world tremble even more is the poisoned milk of the football king Pelego before this: "Group A, France is alone in seeking defeat. The French team will be called the final winner. There is no big change in the field, but their striker is more perfect. The increasing maturity of Henry and Trezeguet, coupled with the world's number one star Zidane behind them, the French have nothing to worry about. The second The position is probably in Denmark and Uruguay, and Senegal has nothing to hope for."

This time the tainted milk king was half right. Henry and Trezeguet, together with Zidane behind them, gave France the capital to defend the title, but Zidane missed the game due to injury.

当然世界杯并没有因为卫冕冠军的失利而停下脚步，次日6月1日，E组爱尔兰1-1喀麦隆，E组德国8-0沙特，A组乌拉圭1-2丹麦。

6月2日，F组阿根廷1-0尼日利亚，B组巴拉圭2-2南非，F组英格兰1-1瑞典，B组西班牙3-1斯洛文尼亚。

Under such uproar, the Italian players who were greatly shocked also boarded a plane to go to the venue a few days later, a metropolis in the central area of ​​Hokkaido, Japan, Sapporo.
