Chapter 892: The Opening Battle! Africa Time!

At that time, no one cared about Hao Haidong's words, but Huang Jianxiang felt a little irritated by the sound made by the Wu Wu Zula at the scene.

"The South African fans' refueling weapons are so weird."

"They were holding this thing in their hands as if it was called Woo Woo Zu, and the sound they made made made me feel quite uncomfortable. I've been here for more than ten days, and I haven't had a clean day! ”

"It's like a desperate baby crying or poking a hornet's nest, the sound is unbearable."

"The noise is expected to have a big impact on the broadcast, so we have to try to raise our voices to speak, but it seems that the sound can't drown out the noise made by the live woo vu zula......

"I think we're going to kiss the microphone to cover the game."

After Hao Haidong listened to Huang Jianxiang's words, he threw out a sentence again.

"I feel like I'm squatting on a pit when I was a kid, surrounded by big-headed flies buzzing, that's annoying......"

I grass!

Fan Zhiyi scolded in his heart, cannon, you are awesome.

The words are not rough!

That's how it feels, we are not as cultured as Huang Jianxiang, and we can't say anything nice, but the feeling of squatting in the pit is right!

Fan Zhiyi muttered in his heart.

"Poof," Huang Jianxiang was also amused, and then he went on to explain: "Woo vu Zula is considered to be the unique "weapon" of South African fans. A few days ago, the International Hearing Organization conducted a decibel test on "Vuvuzula" and found that its sound exceeded 100 decibels, which is enough to cause damage to people's hearing. It is reported that if the whole stadium fans blow their horns during the game, it is like "100 million flies flying". ”

……

Not to mention that they are uncomfortable, even the Chinese players in the dressing room feel very anxious.

They did hear this annoying sound in the locker room.

Dong Fangzhuo has long known that South Africa has this thing, so his mood is still very calm, and the others are different.

"I'm grass, what a stupid place."

"It's a sound that makes you kick a ball." Even the captain Zheng Zhi scolded out.

"No, I really want to go to the toilet!" Li Weifeng also seemed to think of his childhood for a long time and breathed that smell......

"I felt like my head was buzzing all the time, and I couldn't help but be disturbed." Hao Junmin kept shaking his head.

Team leader Zhu Heyuan looked a little anxious again, and then he asked Crowchen, "Do you want to find a way to get some headphones?" There was almost an hour left before the game started, which was very detrimental to the state. ”

But Crowchen denied his opinion, "No, you have to adapt now, otherwise you won't be able to play even more on the field." ”

"We should have gone to the stadium early to get used to the atmosphere. Check out the show and enjoy the feeling of the World Cup. ”

Subsequently, the Chinese players were all kicked out of the locker room by Crawford......

Halfway through, Zeng Cheng suddenly asked.

"Brother Dong, you don't seem to be nervous at all?"

"Why be nervous? This is not the first big scene, just get used to it. ”

Dong Fangzhuo glanced at Zeng Cheng with some surprise, stopped, and then patted him on the shoulder.

"You're the last line of defense, you have to be calm. You've played all the Olympic finals, so don't put too much pressure on yourself. ”

"Isn't it just playing for South Africa, don't worry, we can. You have to believe Feng Xiaoting and them, they are the biggest dependent. ”

"Behave well, after the World Cup, maybe you're going abroad."

At 20:10 on June 11, Beijing time, the World Cup came to Africa for the first time after 80 years!

The theme of the opening ceremony was "Welcome to the House of the World".

According to the organizing committee, the theme was chosen because archaeological discoveries found that early humans originated on the African continent, and the local Tawong in South Africa was also listed as a World Heritage Site due to related excavations. The opening ceremony highlighted the splendid cultural and rich heritage, modern economic and technological progress made in South Africa and the African continent.

Mandela is not here today, and former South African President Nelson Mandela was absent after his great-granddaughter died in a car accident.

Johannesburg's Soccer City Stadium has the largest capacity of the 10 World Cup stadiums in South Africa, and is famous for Mandela's first speech here since his release from Robben Island, where South Africa defeated Tunisia 2-0 in 1996 to win the Africa Cup of Nations. In anticipation of the 2010 World Cup, the stadium has been renovated inside and out, increasing its capacity to 91,000 seats.

At this time, it is estimated that the stadium has poured in 100,000 people at least, and it cannot be the official 91,000.

Dignitaries attending the opening ceremony included UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, South African President Jacob Zuma and former President Mbeki, Chinese President XXX, Mexican President CalderΓ³n, Ghana President Mills, Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe, Kenyan President Kibaki and Prime Minister Odinga, US Vice President Joe Biden, New Zealand Prime Minister John Key, and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Archbishop Tutu. But the most eye-catching is the former South African President Mandela, who will turn 92 next month, but unfortunately, the day before the opening ceremony, Mandela's 13-year-old great-granddaughter Zenani was killed in a car accident, and Mandela, who was overly grieved, was unable to attend the opening ceremony in person.

FIFA Blatter began with a speech: "The World Cup is coming to South Africa, thank you, congratulations to the African people, thank you South Africa, we can hold the World Cup here, the dream has come true, even if Mandela is not here tonight, his spirit is still in the Football City stadium." ”

Then, it was the turn of the South African president to speak: "First of all, allow me to pass a word for our idol, who wants to be with us and wishes you all before the start of the game, but unfortunately there is a tragedy in Mandela's family, but he says that the game must start and you have to enjoy the game. Ladies and gentlemen, we as a nation are proud to host the world's largest tournament, and the whole of Africa is happy about it, and this is the World Cup in Africa. ”

"Now, the World Cup has officially begun!"

Boom –

Five South African Air Force fighter jets skimmed over the pitch to unveil the first chapter of the opening ceremony. In the second chapter, the audience began the three-minute countdown under the guidance of the big screen, which played a beautiful short promotional video for South Africa.

Then the opening ceremony moves into the third chapter, "The Calling", accompanied by the song "This is Africa's shining moment", in which the African hymn poet Mjiwa issues the call of Africa: "Please follow the Africans, today we rewrite history because we brought the World Cup to our own land. Nine drummers entered the stadium to gather around Mjiwa, and 270 African female dancers in colorful costumes sang and danced from nine different directions to the center stage of the stadium, representing the nine World Cup stadiums except Soccer City, and the public address system introduced the names of all the stadiums to the world.

Then in the fourth chapter, "African Blood", the South African singer Mazwai enters the scene, and next to her is a giant "shell". The huge official World Cup ball "Putian Tongqing" rolled into the stadium, and the attention of the shell Lang was attracted by "Putian Tongqing" and pushed the ball out of the performance venue.

South African rhythm and blues singer Molloy performs Nchebe's song "Hope". Nchebe, who had appointed South African tenor Nchebe to the opening ceremony, died of bacterial meningitis at the age of 35 just two days after recording the World Cup song "Hope" last month, so "Hope" was re-performed by Moloy. The performance was interspersed with Mandela's words: "Through compassion and care, we can create hope." When Molloy left, the big screen showed Nchebe's avatar.

Chapter 5, "United Africa". South African rap singer Panchula joined the choir group TKZee to sing the song "Shibobo", and the legendary South African wind player Masekra also participated. Algerian pop singer Kalede sang "Didi" to pay tribute to the six African World Cup teams, and after the performance of the Ghanaian band Osibasa, Nigerian female singer Kuti sang the song "BANG BANG BANG".

Chapter 6, "A United World". Grammy Award-winning American rhythm and blues singer Kelly sang the World Cup anthem "Omen of Victory" composed by herself, and the Soweto Lingge Orchestra of South Africa served as the backing singer. The 32-strong flag flap appeared in the center of the venue, surrounded by the flags of other FIFA member states and regions, including China's five-star red flag. After the African-inspired opening ceremony, the protective layer of the stadium was removed to reveal the green turf, waiting for the opening match between hosts South Africa and China......

"The more than half-hour performance is over, and now, the South African team and the Chinese team are about to play!"

"Now, world football has entered African time!"

"Zheng Zhi led the Chinese players with the captain's armband, and they all held a cute child in their hands, as did the captain of the South African team, Torado."

"The Chinese national anthem is played!"

"Nearly 8,000 Chinese fans came to the scene today to cheer for the Chinese team."

"The temperature was 14 degrees Celsius, and the official statistics were 84,490 fans in attendance, but I don't think this figure is correct, just like when we used to sit on the train, there will always be a lot of standing tickets......

Beep –

The Chinese team kicked off first, and the ball quickly passed back.

In the opening 105 seconds, the Chinese team almost broke the goal!

Zhao Xuri in the backfield launched an attack and passed the ball to the right side, Hao Junmin immediately crossed on the right side, but the landing point was not very good, but South African goalkeeper Kune came out to save the ball and get rid of it!

"Dong Fangzhuo!"

I saw Dong Fangzhuo shoot 7 meters in front of the goal.

Aim with your right foot at the goal!

Bang!

The dynamics are quite large.

But Mokona fought hard to block the ball at the right post!

"Oops, Mokona saved the lives of South Africa!"

"Dong Fangzhuo's shot was fatal, but South Africa seemed to have been blessed by the gods......"

"Corner kick, the Chinese team still has a chance, we can make good use of this corner kick opportunity, the pressure on the South African players is still very high!"

"Hao Junmin takes a corner!"

"The landing point is very good!"

"Dong Fangzhuo!"

"Ahh
