Chapter 374: Unpopular Appears!

When Tang Jue saw the comments from the British media, he couldn't help laughing. These people are really too irrelevant. They can connect them together.

These will not affect his mood, but the endless stars are troubled. They seem to be really apart from Tang Jue. Some of them are too excessive, and even publish the so-called "nude photos" with Tang Jue in their blog.

French fans quickly revealed those photos - that was from PS!

If Tang never wants to know this news, unless he doesn't watch TV, goes online, or goes to newspapers. As a modern person, is this possible?

Alice is not around, and other players can meet their families after training, but he can only sit alone in the hotel. If he doesn't watch TV and surf the Internet, he will really go crazy.

It is really troublesome to deal with these things. For example, if you sue her, she will be even happier, and this exposure rate...

If you ignore her, Tang Jue's reputation will become even more "famous".

In a word, the number one star in France has a really bad reputation now. He is a "big young man". More than 30 women have said they have had super friendly relationships with him.

...

At 8 p.m. on the 15th, the second game of the first round of Group G was held at Ellis Park Stadium. The two sides against each other were Brazil and the mysterious North Korean team.

In the group of death, if you want to qualify in the group, every game is crucial. If you are not careful, you will be eliminated and you will not be able to qualify from the group.

Brazil is the only team to participate in each World Cup, while North Korea has made its debut in the finals again since 1966. Brazil has won Ireland, Zimbabwe and Tanzania in the warm-up matches, while North Korea lost to Paraguay and Nigeria respectively, only to South Africa and Greece.

The Brazilian team in this tournament is quite experienced, with an average age of 29 years and 60 days as the longest. North Korea has become the third-last young team with 25 years and 140 days.

Both sides were very careful at the beginning of the game, and they did not get their first shot in the game until the seventh minute. Melo made a steal in the frontcourt and passed the ball. After Elano passed the ball, the shot missed 25 meters from the right.

Brazil then showed their strong strength and frequently threatened North Korea's goal.

In the ninth minute, Kaka passed the ball, and Robinho's shot from 22 meters missed the right post.

In the tenth minute, Macon passed the ball and Bastos missed the long shot from the left.

North Korea's first shot appeared in the eleventh minute. An Yingxue passed the ball, and Zheng Dashi faced three Brazilian players on the right side of the penalty area and decisively shot was confiscated by Cesar.

Then the two sides launched a fierce confrontation.

In the 13th minute, Elano's shot in the penalty area was easily obtained by Li Mingguo.

In the 16th minute, Zhi Yinnan passed the ball, and the Wenren Guo's powerful shot was blocked from 25 meters. One minute later, Zheng Dashi passed the ball, and Che Zhenghe's powerful shot was 25 meters from the right and missed out of the far corner.

In the 19th minute, the far-distance gate of the Literary National People's Republic of China was easily obtained by Cesar.

In the 21st minute, Fabiano made a straight pass. Robinho's low shot from ten meters on the right side of the penalty area was confiscated by Li Mingguo.

In the 26th minute, Zheng Dashi drifted over Juan from the left and shot out of the far corner.

In the 27th minute, Melo made a diagonal pass. Maikong shot from 25 meters from the right and was saved by Li Mingguo from the near corner.

Both sides did a very good job of defense and did not give the opponent a good opportunity to score, and ended the first half with zero to zero.

After the second half began, Five Star Brazil increased its offense.

In the 50th minute, Robinho's shot in the penalty area was blocked, Kaka won a free kick opportunity at the top of the penalty area, and Bastos's direct shot missed the post on the left.

In the 53rd minute, Kaka made a comeback and Robinho shot from 25 meters from the right and missed out of the far corner again.

A wonderful scene in the 55th minute appeared: Elano made a straight pass, and Maikon shot unexpectedly at a nearly zero angle on the right side of the penalty area. The football flew towards the goal like a shell. North Korean goalkeeper Lee Ming-kuo was caught off guard and did not stop the football.

The ball has entered!

The score became one to zero!

Brazil breaks the deadlock on the court!

This goal inspired Brazil's greater fighting spirit. In the subsequent game, they crushed North Korea with their strength. Brazil expanded the score in the 72nd minute, Robinho made a straight pass to tear the North Korean defense line, and Elano pushed the ball from 12 meters to the right side of the penalty area into the net.

The score became 2 to zero!

Just when people thought Brazil was going to block North Korea, North Korea scored a goal in the 89th minute, Zheng Dashi headed the ball, and Zhiyinnan broke into the penalty area and shot eight meters from the left rib.

In the end, Brazil won the game 2-1, winning all eight consecutive World Cup first games. Brazil's winning did not exceed people's expectations. Although North Korea lost the game, they won the respect of the world.

The 16th day is the last day of the first round of the group stage, and the last two games of Group H will be staged. At 1:30 noon, the match between Mbobera Stadium, Chile and Honduras started.

The last time Honduras participated in the World Cup was in 1982. Central and North American teams drew against Belarus and Azerbaijan, losing to Venezuela and Romania respectively.

Chile, who participated in the World Cup for the 8th time, had a strong momentum after Argentina coach Bielsa took over. He lost only to Mexico in the warm-up match, and the others won Trinidad and Tobago, Zambia, Northern Ireland and Israel respectively.

Chile almost scored in the second minute, with Matthias Fernandez shooting a free kick from 25 meters, slightly above the crossbar.

Chile took the lead in the 34th minute, Matthias Fernandez made a straight pass, Isla made a cross from the right side of the penalty area, and Mendoza's tackle cleared the ball and hit Bosejoer and deflected into the net.

One to zero!

Chile won the first game with this goal.

At 4 pm, Spain debuted at Durban Stadium, and their opponent was Switzerland. Spain won 15 wins and 3 draws in 18 matches between the two sides. After winning all 10 games in the qualifiers to advance to the finals, Spain defeated Saudi Arabia, South Korea and Poland in the warm-up match.

Before the World Cup began, Spain's invincible state put them behind France and was the second most popular to win the championship.

This is Switzerland's 9th World Cup and has not conceded 394 minutes in the 2006 World Cup. It was eliminated only by losing to Ukraine in a penalty shootout. However, it has not won one of the last six warm-up matches.

So before the game, people thought that it was reasonable for Spain to win in good shape.

Spain controlled the game since the opening. In the tenth minute, Switzerland's first corner kick was cleared. After Villa played against David Silva and broke through to the left side of the penalty area, Benario confiscated it in time.

Spain's first shot appeared in the 17th minute, Capdvilla passed the ball. David Silva's left-footed shot from the left edge of the penalty area was confiscated by Benario.

Then Pique passed the ball and Ramos cut into the right side of the penalty area and shot missed the near corner.

In the 21st minute, Capdevila passed the ball, and Iniesta's shot from 25 meters was easily obtained by Benario.

Spain almost scored in the 24th minute, and Iniesta made a straight pass. Pique drifted past Grichtin and shot from 12 meters. He was blocked by Benario with his legs.

Switzerland's first shot appeared in the 26th minute. Xavi violated dangerous moves, Inle drew a free kick, and Ziegler's powerful shot from 25 meters was blocked by Casillas and confiscated.

Switzerland broke the deadlock in the 52nd minute. Deldione broke into the penalty area and fell while dodging Casillas, but the follow-up Fernandez shot was blocked by Pique, and Fernandez shot into the net again from close range.

The score became one to zero!

The favorite to win the championship, and the strong Spain fell one goal behind.

Behind the score, Spain launched a tide attack, and the Swiss team narrowed its defense. Spain almost equalized the score in the 70th minute. Villa made a straight pass, and Torres broke into the penalty area and shot from a small angle to miss the near corner. Then Xavi took a corner kick, and Alonso shot from 22 meters to hit the crossbar.

With the referee's whistle sounding, the game ended. Spain returned with 24 shots in the game and the ball possession rate reached 63%, but it still lost to Switzerland for the first time in history, and the World Cup journey started unfavorably.

Spain lost 100% and revealed the biggest upset since the start of this World Cup. The world was in an uproar, and the Spanish media criticized the Spanish team severely.

Marca commented: No one expected such a result, even the Swiss fans. It is difficult for us to explain to those who have not watched the game that Spain will lose to a team with a low level in this way. You should know that most of the players of Spain's opponents are not familiar with them.

At the World Cup, the Spanish team often encountered the tragedy of going home early. In the 1998 World Cup, the Spanish group was eliminated; in 2002, Spain was driven home by the host South Korea in the quarter-finals; in 2006, Spain was immediately sent home by the French team after qualifying in the group. Now, the Spanish team is in crisis again. Can they get out of the predicament this time?

We cannot deny that the Spanish team has overconfidence. In the group stage, they drew a group of "weak teams" such as Switzerland, Honduras, Chile, etc., and the Spanish team believed that they had won the first prize.

Because these teams are opponents that everyone wants, no one believes that they can overturn strong teams. You must know that the three opponents in the group stage have never defeated Spain.

Although head coach Boske showed caution, under the media's praise, the Spanish team believed that they were the winner before the game began. They were ready to think about the knockout match, and it seemed that the group opponent did not exist.

Spanish players believe that Switzerland can't play the ball at all, and they ignore the Swiss team's super strong defense.

Spain's loss is not all bad things. It's not as late as possible. Since there is only an unbeaten record in the world and no unbeaten team, losing in the first round of the group stage is actually not an irreversible failure.

On the one hand, after the defeat in this game, Spain still has 6 points to fight for, and the chance of qualifying in the group is still very high; on the other hand, early defeat can also pour cold water on the Spanish team to prevent them from becoming arrogant all the way.

This is just the first game of the group stage. Spain has several days to further adjust its lineup and mentality. What's more, Iniesta just returned from injury in this game, and Torres came on as a substitute in the second half.

Spain lost, but fans should continue to have confidence in Spain. In the first half, although Spain did not score a goal, the players used their skillful footwork and gorgeous cooperation to push the Swiss team to almost no longer be able to raise their heads.

Xavi, Iniesta, Villa and Silva, the players who are not tall, have shown high standards, but the threat is not enough in the end. In time, the Spanish team's performance in the World Cup will definitely get better and better.

And fans really can't bear to leave such a team that gathers stars and pursues beautiful football, leaving the World Cup early. Football also requires faith, and the beautiful football of the Spanish team is worthy of everyone's care.

Spain has learned a lesson by losing. What Bosque’s disciples need to do now is to summarize, rest well, and regain the magic that has disappeared in the game against Switzerland. Magic is the most important element of Spain's creation of the miracle of European championships.

...

Argentine media took the opportunity to stab Spain. The title of "Ole" is: Favorite to win the championship? Bah!

Spain entered the World Cup with brilliant stars, but was upset by Switzerland in its first game. Although Fernandez's goal was suspected of offside, it created the biggest upset for this World Cup.

Bosque sent Iniesta, Xavi, Villa, but got nothing. All expectations, all the stars, the goal of getting the World Cup trophy into their hands, disappeared in an instant. When Fernandez broke through the defense line between Pique and Casillas and sent the ball into the net, Espanyol's heart stopped beating.

...

With the end of the game between Spain and Switzerland, all 32 participating teams appeared. The first round of the championship favorites performed normally and most of them won. Among them, the German team won four goals, which was the most eye-catching, while the French team performed well.
