Beauty is an indispensable part outside the football field, but when the game comes, these beauties who are loved by fans have to be put aside, after all, football games are the real focus of attention.
After arriving in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the Chinese team first conducted recovery training, because on the [-]th and [-]th, there will be two consecutive warm-up matches against England and Mexico before the World Cup.
In order to be able to find the best form and confidence before the World Cup comes, these two games are crucial for Guardiola and the players, in other words... just can't lose.
The warm-up match between the Chinese team and the England team was held at [-]:[-] pm local time in Brazil on the [-]th, which is [-]:[-] am in BJ time. Although this time period is not a suitable time for Chinese fans to watch football, there are still hundreds of millions of Chinese fans sitting in front of the TV and watching the game.
Putting aside their love for the current Chinese team, many players in England are loved by Chinese fans, because the Premier League is quite popular in mainland China, especially in Shanghai and Guangdong.
So this game is very interesting.
It is worth mentioning that there are as many as [-] media broadcasting this game, and the biggest ones are CCTV [-], LeTV, Penguin, BPTV...
In view of the peak strength of the Chinese national team, there are countless reporters from China going to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. If it is not for the visa issue, it is estimated that the number of special reporters registered for the World Cup in Brazil will be the most in the history of the World Cup.
The Chinese media pays attention to the preparations of the Chinese team, and similarly...the English media, which has the most developed football coverage in the world, also pays attention to the preparations of the England national team.
In addition, Aero, the captain of the Chinese national team, once achieved great success in the Premier League Chelsea, leading the club to dominate the world for two consecutive seasons, and was deeply loved by Chelsea fans. Moreover, Chelsea played very beautifully at that time, and their supporters in England were quite high.
And all the credit comes from Ai Luo.
Even if Aiello left the Premier League to develop in La Liga in the summer of 2010, there are still many English media paying attention to him.
Therefore, this international A-level friendly match between the Chinese team and England has attracted more media, and the media concerned by other countries has attracted as much attention as the strong dialogue in the World Cup.
But for the English media, they are more worried.
Compared with the two England teams in 2006 and 2010, the current England team has a certain gap in strength, and the players selected for the 23-man roster are all a bit older, which is the so-called lack of success and lack of Mesozoic core-level players.
Before the game, Wayne Rooney, who will play as the captain of England, and Ai Luo, the captain of the Chinese team, became the subject of media interviews. Because the two of them are very good friends off the field, and they were once rivals in the Premier League, so many fans want to know their thoughts.
During the stamping period, Rooney and Ai Luo satisfies the fans' desire to find out and accepted interviews with reporters.
When Rooney was interviewed by reporters, he said: "Don't worry, we will win!"
What's interesting is that Ai Luo, who was interviewed by reporters afterwards, also said: "Lu Xiaopang wants to win? Lose weight first and then talk about it!"
Immediately, the two looked at each other and smiled.
As the game loomed, concerns in the English media grew stronger.
The Chinese team is the favorite to win the World Cup and is a seeded team, while England... is only a third-tier team.
※※※
Because the Chinese team and the England team can attract enough attention, the venue provided by the Brazil World Cup Organizing Committee for the two sides is the venue for the final after more than a month - the Maracana Stadium.
More than [-] fans went to the scene to watch the pre-World Cup warm-up match, most of them were Chinese fans and England fans, and the local fans in Rio de Janeiro only accounted for a small part of them.
This shows how many fans from the two countries go to Brazil...
However, in this game, the two sides did not line up the strongest lineup, but the main players with the main substitutes.
However, in the eyes of many on-site commentators, reporters and fans, the Chinese team with Aiello as the starting lineup is the strongest lineup. For England, the double-Germany combination that started in the 2006 World Cup in Germany was dismantled. The 36-year-old Lampard became a substitute. Gerrard is no longer the absolute main force...
England's starting double midfielder combination is Henderson from Liverpool and Wilshere from Arsenal.
Before the start of the official game, the communication between the two sides in the player channel became the focus of everyone's attention.
Rooney and Aiello are good friends, so it is natural to have a good chat before the game.
In addition, Zhang Linpeng stayed at Chelsea for a season and performed very well, so he was taken over by Real Madrid, which is not short of money. He and England defender Cahill are very good friends.
In Liverpool, Henderson, Sterling, Glenn Johnson and Sturridge are good friends with Wu Xi again...
So even if the huge strengths that attract the attention of the two teams are put aside, they can still become the focus of media attention.
Seeing this, Sky TV commentator Martin Taylor said with a smile: "The two sides showed a very enthusiastic side before the game, but I wonder if they will still be so polite after the game officially starts..."
His partner commentator immediately interrupted: "Don't be kidding Martin, it will definitely be very exciting after the game starts!"
"Oh?" Martin Taylor said with a half-smile, "I would like to hear more about it."
"This game is the penultimate game before the start of the World Cup, whether it is for the Chinese team or England. In order to find the best game state in advance, the players must put great pressure on themselves, so as to show their personal best competitive state and win the recognition of the head coach."
In fact, after the start of the game, the state of the double-handed players was not particularly good, and they belonged to the slow-heating type.
Of course, only they themselves know whether it is really slow to enter the state.
Everyone is not stupid. If you show excellent form before the official start of the World Cup finals, it will become a target of public criticism. Even if the current Chinese team has shown good form in the warm-up match in Shanghai, China, it must show signs of decline.
You must know that this game is not a closed teaching and training, but an external warm-up match. It is inevitable that there will be no scouts from other national teams in the same group as England and China in the stands.
And England is really a bit weak. If they show a super state at this time, it will make Italy and Uruguay in the same group be wary...
