Chapter 15 Opening Ceremony and Opening Game!

Brazil, Sao Paulo, Corinthians Stadium.

At 3 pm, Brazil time, the opening ceremony of the 2014 Brazil World Cup officially took place.

The entire opening ceremony is divided into three parts: nature, humans and football.

The first part is the welcome ceremony, welcoming fans from all over the world to Brazil and pay attention to the Brazil World Cup. In this part, various local plants in Brazil are displayed, and the big ball in the middle also shows the development and evolution of the earth.

In the second part, the performers on the scene danced and the dancers danced samba. Of course, there are other dance performances on the scene. All the dances and music come together to become a Brazilian symphony.

In addition, the tumbler dolls that appeared on the scene are handicrafts symbolizing black women, and now they are the symbol of tourism in northeastern Brazil.

In the third part, football is on the field!

64 children representing 32 participating teams entered the center of the venue to perform.

When a child appeared at the Corinthians Stadium holding the five-star red flag representing China, the Chinese fans who stayed up late to watch the opening ceremony were full of excitement.

For every Chinese fan, this moment is an extremely happy time!

Unlike the dark period before, they are now also one of the participants of the World Cup.

Then, a huge Brazilian flag entered the stadium, and a paraplegic Brazilian youth will kick off the opening game of the World Cup. His ability to move comes from an "exoskeleton" robot system developed by scientists from many countries. The system can stand and walk according to brain signals.

During the whole lively session, the melody of "We Are One", the theme song of the Brazilian World Cup, resounded over the stadium. The three singers Pitt Paul, Claudia Letty and Jennifer Lopez appeared in the stadium and sang the whole song amid cheers and applause.

Until the end of the song, the picture suddenly switched to the player channel.

The two teams of the World Cup opening game are already standing in it.

The host Brazil and Croatia led by Modric.

At this moment, a strong World Cup atmosphere suddenly appeared.

"Here it comes! Here it comes!"

In the hotel conference room, the players of the Chinese team also gathered together to watch the opening ceremony and the opening game together.

The commentator on TV kept talking, and most people couldn't understand.

But Lekai and Chen Man, who know "Portuguese", can understand it.

At the same time, the starting lineup of the game also appeared on TV.

Brazil (4-2-3-1):

Goalkeeper: Cesar.

Defenders: Alves, Thiago Silva, David Luiz, Marcelo.

Midfielders: Hulk, Paulinho, Oscar, Guistavo, Neymar.

Forward: Fred.

Croatia (4-2-1-2-1):

Goalkeeper: Pledikosa.

Defenders: Vrsaljko, Lovren, Joel Luka, Srna.

Midfielders: Olic, Rakitic, Kovacic, Modric, Perisic.

Forward: Jelavic.

Amid huge cheers and noises, the players of both teams walked out of the player tunnel and onto the court.

Standing in a circle in the center circle, three children released doves symbolizing peace.

After that, the two captains divided the sides.

The game officially started!

"Brazil's attack is so fierce!" Chen Man said with his eyes wide open.

"Croatia also played well, and every counterattack was very threatening." Liu Kairui licked his lips nervously.

Others also expressed their opinions.

Everyone watched the game with the mood of feeling the atmosphere.

As soon as the game started, the two sides were full of gunpowder.

At the 6th minute, the Japanese referee awarded Brazil a chance for a set-piece in the frontcourt.

This set-piece was located not far from the left side of the penalty area, which could easily pose a threat.

This was indeed the case, but the Brazilian team failed to seize the opportunity and returned empty-handed under Croatia's fierce defense.

The Chinese players were also constantly analyzing the trend of the game.

Everyone was expressing their opinions.

Until the 11th minute, Croatia suddenly counterattacked, Modric passed the ball to Olic to dribble forward, and Olic passed the ball directly after going down the bottom.

The ball passed through three Brazilian players and came to the feet of Marcelo, who was eager to drink and drive, and then an own goal was born!

11 minutes later, the host Brazil team 0:1 Croatia.

At this moment, the whole stadium was quiet.

Brazilian fans looked at the stadium in disbelief, and Marcelo, the instigator, glanced blankly again and again, his eyes full of guilt.

At the moment of the goal, not only the stadium fell into silence, but even the meeting room where the Chinese team was located was silent.

Gulp!

Guan Zhe swallowed subconsciously.

This own goal made the Chinese team's defenders nervous.

In this atmosphere, everyone subconsciously brought themselves into it.

Even Liu Kairui, who has always been lively and talkative, was silent for a rare time.

Marcelo's own goal put them under great pressure.

Put yourself in their shoes. If they scored an own goal, they would probably have collapsed mentally!

Chen Man saw that the atmosphere was a little depressed, and couldn't help but say; "You won't..."

Le Kai interrupted Chen Man with a slap.

Chen Man covered his burning back and turned around to glare at him, "Why did you hit me?!"

Le Kai said angrily, "If you don't know how to talk, shut up. I know what you want to say."

"I'm fine!" Chen Man admitted his weakness.

He just subconsciously wanted to liven up the atmosphere, but if he really said it, he would probably really mess with his teammates' mentality.

The atmosphere was extremely solemn, and at this moment, the Chinese team was also brought into the atmosphere.

Time passed little by little, and Brazil, which fell behind, began to press forward significantly.

In the 28th minute, Neymar made a ground cut outside the penalty area, and the ball went into the goal close to the right goal post.

At this moment, the whole stadium was boiling.

In the Chinese team's tactical room, the players also subconsciously clenched their fists, and some even whispered "yes!".

They didn't really support the Brazilian team, but brought the lagging side into themselves, creating a tense atmosphere for this.

And with Neymar's goal, the originally depressing atmosphere disappeared.

Neymar's goal completely turned on Brazil's offensive switch.

A fierce attack began.

Oscar, in particular, played very well in this game, and many beautiful passes pushed the ball into Croatia's dangerous area.

Compared to the confused figure in the Premier League, Oscar of the national team is more eye-catching.

The game entered the second half.

The score between the two sides was still 1:1.

Croatia relied on Modric's pass to advance.

Brazil still chose to attack fiercely.

Brazil's offensive was fierce, especially with the excellent performance of Neymar and many players, Croatia gradually showed fatigue.

In the 71st minute, Croatia pulled a player in its own penalty area and was awarded a penalty kick.

Neymar took the penalty kick.

After a small step, Neymar easily shot the ball into the opponent's goal.

Brazil 2:1 Croatia.

Despite the lead, Brazil's offensive remained unabated.

At the moment when the game was about to end, Oscar replicated Neymar's goal in one minute of injury time. It was also a ground cut outside the penalty area. The ball flew towards the left goal and rolled into the net after touching the goal post.

At this moment, the game was over.

When the last injury time ended, the opening match of the 2014 World Cup ended with Brazil 3:1 Croatia.

Throughout the game, despite some minor setbacks, Brazil still held on to its first victory at home and got off to a good start.

The first day of the game ended with Brazil's victory.

On the second day, Group A and Group B will complete the first cycle.

The three games on the second day are:

Mexico vs. Cameroon.

Spain vs. Netherlands.

Chile vs. China.

Among these three games, Spain vs. Netherlands is undoubtedly the most watched game by fans around the world.

The second is the game between Mexico and Cameroon, and the last is Chile vs. China.

But even so, for Chinese fans, what they are most looking forward to is still the game of the Chinese team.

They are nervously waiting for the moment of the game.

In China, major media have begun to warm up this game in advance.

CCTV even issued an announcement:

"At 6 o'clock in the morning on June 13, 2014, let us cheer for the Chinese athletes together! 》
