The next day, Dong Fangzhuo realized why Zhu Heyuan attached so much importance to safety.

Dong Fangzhuo watched the news and learned that just last night, there was a shocking scene at the residence of the England team, a strong contender for the championship. The local police arrested a middle-aged police officer who was driving drunk at the England station in Rastenberg, and the arrest process was so thrilling that the pursuing police officer even fired a warning shot to catch his colleague. The incident took place a stone's throw away from the heavily guarded Bafokeng Sports Park, where you can even see the sports facilities.

Fortunately, Krauchen is also quite familiar with the situation in Africa, and after the team arrived in South Africa, the players were forbidden to go out for any reason, which was almost equivalent to putting the players under house arrest. In order to ensure the safety of the team, the leaders of the Football Association even contacted the embassy and doubled the security to protect the Chinese team......

As the hottest celebrity today, Dong Fangzhuo, the "popular king" chased by local fans in South Africa, has been taken care of like never before, and China has never opened up training, and those media reporters who want to cover the Chinese team and Dong Fangzhuo must go through strict scrutiny before they can reach them.

The Chinese team really puts 'safety first' in the first place......

※※※※

The World Cup is getting closer and closer, and Pique's Shakira has already sung akaaka before the World Cup, and there are more and more reports on the World Cup from various countries.

To the surprise of Chinese fans, the media in most countries lined up China as the biggest dark horse.

"The Chinese team will be the biggest dark horse in the 2010 World Cup!" The host of Spanish National Television 5, Casillas's girlfriend, and Carbonero, who rolled over the sheets with Dong Fangzhuo, interviewed the former Spanish Real Madrid star Hierro, and Hierro said so.

"A lot of people forget about the Chinese team in the 2006 World Cup, when they were already playing really well and our country only had a draw with them. Four years from now, they will bring even more shock to the world, Group A is definitely not an easy group, and France would be very wrong if they think they are high in this group. Nowadays, there are many Chinese players all over Europe, and it is natural that Fang Zhuo Dong is the world's number one striker, and they also have players like Xiao Ting Feng in Schalke 04, which is a very good central defender. ”

"Tao Chen, although he played in a lesser-known league, won the Belgian Player of the Year award last season, you must know that the Belgian league is full of demons, and it is definitely not easy for him to stand out."

"Rising Sun Zhao, who played for Espanyol, he has firmly become the core of Espanyol. Zhu, who plays in the Premier League, is also a guy who once stared at Messi. And several players from the Portuguese league......"

Hierro must have done his homework, and as a guest commentator on National Radio 5, he conducted a study of the Chinese team early on.

"I think they will break through in the group stage and then meet Argentina as the second in the group, Argentina's team, as everyone knows, they are a team with a strong card and a very rubbish actual combat power, Maradona's team may be at the feet of the Chinese team, and then the Chinese team is likely to meet the German ......"

Hierro made a prediction about the prospects of the Chinese team, and even the German team predicted it.

But is it really good to use 'garbage' to describe Argentina?

Before Spain rose to the rise of Europe, it seemed that the World Cup results were not very good......

Hierro shares the same sentiment as Sky Sports' Lineker. He exclaimed on the show: "China, definitely China, because they have an alien there, and as long as you pass the ball to him, he can solve the problem." I even think that Argentina will actually worry about running into the Chinese team, Messi is incomparable, but he has proven countless times that he can't lead the team to play the Chinese Dong at all. The Champions League is like this, the Olympics are like this, I really sweat for Messi. ”

Next, Lineker further analysed the opening game.

"Judging from the odds offered by bookmakers such as Europe, this game is more inclined to a draw. The odds of South Africa winning or China winning are basically the same. It's always a bit weird about this game. ”

"South Africa has their unique strengths, such as."

"1. The home host has good adaptability to the climate of the venue."

"2. The player's size and explosive power are significantly better than Mexico."

"3. Advantage of referee factors."

"4. The monetary reward factor, the South African Football Association wins the game and rewards it, and African teams have this problem, and there are rewards for high morale and hard work."

"5. South Africa's formation is 4231, this formation is a defensive counterattack formation, the coach's intention is obvious, Africans are famous for their endurance and speed, and it is a very big test for Mexico."

"Of course, their disadvantages are also very obvious."

Next, Lineker listed the disadvantages of South Africa, compared with Spain's leaf, Lineker's work has been more detailed, and it has been meticulous to the technical and tactical aspects.

"1. The overall technical and tactical level of the players is not as good as that of the opponent."

"2. The work under your feet is relatively rough."

"3. The ability to cooperate with the team is weaker than that of the opponent."

Of course, he is naturally indispensable to the analysis of the Chinese team.

"The Chinese team also has their advantages."

"1, they have Dong!"

"2, they have Dong!"

"3, they have Dong!"

"Well, they have quality players, good teamwork, good penetration of short passes, flexibility and tournament experience. This Chinese team has played in the round of 16 of the World Cup, the semifinals of the World Youth Championship, the Olympic finals, and the Asian Cup finals. ”

"The weaknesses of the Chinese team are away games, climate and other factors. The players are short in stature and have weak resistance to shocks. It's like that for Asian teams. ”

What makes Chinese fans laugh and cry is that in the eyes of South African fans, there are actually many of them who support the Chinese team.

In an interview with a local TV station, they said: "Although I support my country, I don't think South Africa can win the opener, a draw is already the best result, you ask why? The reason is very simple, because of Chinese Dong, I don't think anyone in the South African team can keep an eye on him. ”

"If God sends a Dong, then South Africa will also become a strong team, I think the Chinese team is not a dark horse, but a strong team, in our country, the greatest person is Mandela, and Dong is the Mandela of the Chinese team."

※※※※

On the afternoon of June 10, Beijing time, Dong Fangzhuo and Crouchen attended the pre-match press conference accompanied by 100 heavily armed security personnel.

Crowchen just briefly talked about the two teams.

"We're not here to South Africa, we're here to play the World Cup, so any team that underestimates us will regret it."

is a short sentence, but it reveals a strong murderous aura.

'We have a lot of good players and if we can play well in the opening game then we can go our own way.'

"It's great to play in the World Cup in South Africa, it's a pretty beautiful and magical country and people will miss it for many years."

Then he announced the starting lineup of the Chinese team.

Goalkeeper: Zeng Cheng

Defenders: Sun Jihai, Feng Xiaoting, Li Weifeng, Zhu Ting

, Zhao Xuri, Hao Junmin, Zheng Zhi, Mao Jianqing

Forward: Dong Fangzhuo

That's right, 4231, Zheng Zhi's position was moved forward, the front waist.

Years ago, Zheng Zhi's position changed from striker to midfielder, then to midfielder, and then to centre-back.

Many years later, Zheng Zhi's position was constantly moved forward.

This is perhaps the biggest change in Crowchen's adjustment of the Chinese team.

Dong Fangzhuo didn't stay long at the press conference, he just gave praise to South Africa.

"It's a beautiful country, just like a song written by a great singer in our country, full of yearning and respect."

Dong Fangzhuo remembered Huang Jiaju.

"Mr. Mandela, I remember the most."

"Hopefully South Africa will be better and better because of the World Cup." The whole press conference only lasted about 15 minutes before it ended, which was incredibly fast.

However, the press conference in South Africa lasted for more than 1 hour, and perhaps South Africans are used to the situation in their country!

The head coach of the South African national team, Brazilian Pereira, is spitting.

South Africa is the third African team to play in the opening match of the World Cup, having previously beaten the defending champions in both ways, Cameroon beating Argentina in 1990 and Senegal beating France in 2002. The hosts are unbeaten in seven appearances in their opening game, while South Africa are unbeaten in 12 consecutive matches. So the opening match in the evening was actually not very stressful for us. ”

"The strength of the Chinese team should not be underestimated, but we have home advantage and we will definitely get a win for the South African fans."

'I know they have the number one striker in the world, but football is a game of 11 men and I know how to deal with them.

He then announced his starting line-up:

Goalkeeper: Cune

Defenders: Gaqua, Kumaro, Mokona, Tevara

Midfielders: Modise, Leccolo Nyane, Dihaschwa, Chabalala, Pinal

Forward: Mfeira

It's a team without any stars, and if so, then Pinar is barely one......

Despite the potential violence and danger in South Africa, it is not enough to stop fans from all over the world from integrating into South Africa.

Outside the stadium of Johannesburg Football City, it was already crowded, and the 19th World Cup was about to start.

At this time, Huang Jianxiang and Duan Xuan of CCAV5 were already sitting in the live broadcast room and reported on the opening ceremony.

There is no doubt that this is also a festival for Chinese fans.

And next to Huang Jianxiang and Duan Xuan, there are also two former international guests, Hao Haidong and Fan Zhiyi.

When talking about the Portuguese team inadvertently, Hao Haidong suddenly said.

"Cristiano Ronaldo, he's a very good player, but his body-eating style of play, he's on fire for three years at most......"8)
