"Awesome, Dong Fangzhuo's words caused a big earthquake in international football."

"But in this case, will FIFA target the Chinese team? I'm so worried......"

"What is it, now Blatter and they are all anxious, every day reporters revolve around them, Blatter also uses the excuse of dealing with affairs, he can't even take care of the World Cup, and has run back to Nyon, Switzerland to hide, this is really a big joke."

"UEFA President Michel Platini has been silent, after all, the fire hasn't really burned his ass yet, but this guy has run ......away"

"Now it's the FIFA secretary general who is presiding over the World Cup in South Africa."

In the midst of the controversy, the Chinese team is about to face the quarterfinals against Ghana. The other three quarter-finals are Spain vs. Paraguay, Germany vs. Uruguay, and Netherlands vs. Brazil.

In the past few days, Crawford has been asking his players to strengthen their physical reserves.

The characteristics of this team in Ghana are very clear.

Young, the youngest team with the average age of the World Cup, one and a half years younger than China, which is terrible, there are too many advantages of being young, more able to fight, and able to run.

With a natural physical advantage, Africans are physically better than people from other continents, and they have always strived to enter the top four teams in the world, and no one will slack off.

These two points are the most prominent, as for the technical and tactical play? The Chinese team is not afraid, and the technical and tactical execution ability of the Ghana team is definitely not as strong as the Chinese team.

In fact, Ghana originally had a world-class midfielder, that is, Essien, but unfortunately this guy was injured before the World Cup, and he was injured at Chelsea. Ghana's No. 1 star unfortunately missed the World Cup.

Although he could not play, Essien watched all the games of the Ghana team from the stands, and on the day of the quarterfinals, a reporter from Tencent.com specially approached Essien and interviewed him.

Talking about the Chinese team, Essien's eyes lit up, and then immediately called Dong Fangzhuo's name: "The Chinese team is very strong, especially Dong, you China are so lucky, you China is so lucky, with a world-class striker like Dong, in my opinion, Dong is actually the best striker, without him can solve the goal, but I hope he can be lost this afternoon." ”

Essien grinned his tongue and then recalled his confrontation with Dong Fangzhuo in the Premier League, "I played against him in the Premier League for two years, and every time I played against Manchester United, Mr. Mourinho pulled me and said, hey, your task today is not to let Dong take the ball to the defender and the goalkeeper, you have to stick to him like glue, I nod my head very seriously every time, but every time I feel ashamed because I didn't protect Galla, Terry and Petr Cech ......"

"You know, you can't stop him at all."

"But I'm sure my team-mates will do everything they can to keep an eye on him today, we need to make history, we need to get to the last four, and I know my team-mates can do it."

Essien is very happy when he talks about the national team, obviously he has a lot of good friends here.

'I've spoken on the phone with Stephen Appiah, Suri Muntari and a few other players and I'm going to send them my best wishes and I will always be there for them.

"They will do everything they can to beat the Chinese team. I'll be watching the game with some friends on site, but my heart is always with them. ”

'There are some people who don't have the opportunity to play against the United States, and they may not get the chance against China, but they can still do it.' Despite the disappointment of missing out on the World Cup, Essien admits he is proud of his country's achievements in South Africa: "I know they can play well without me because they have proven themselves in the Africa Cup of Nations. Of course, I've always wanted to be a part of history with them. ”

Essien is not there, their second star has become Dong Fangzhuo's Inter Milan teammate Muntari, in fact, Muntari also has a small injury, he did not play in the quarterfinals, but he is coming back in this game, I heard that he played with an injury.

The relationship between Muntari and Dong Fangzhuo at Inter Milan is average, Muntari is a person who does not like to be lively, and when he plays at Inter Milan, he does two things, training and games, and rarely participates in the team's activities.

Montari gives the impression of being an honest worker.

In his pre-match press conference, Muntari talked a lot.

When Montari talked about Dong Fangzhuo, his eyes were full of admiration: "I knew for a long time that I would meet the Chinese team, because the Chinese team has a great Dong, and I know that Dong will definitely meet us, which is not surprising at all." ”

Muntari also admitted that he didn't communicate much with Dong Fangzhuo, but he was very grateful to Dong Fangzhuo, "I don't have much contact with Dong, I don't usually say anything on the training ground, you know, he is a world-class star, a two-time Ballon d'Or winner, sometimes when I stand in front of him, I feel a little shy, I always think, what should I talk to him about?" In training and in games, whenever he's around, I'm determined to pass the ball to him, I don't want anything, and giving him the ball means solving the problem, which a lot of people in our team do. ”

'I'm glad he didn't play as a winger, and if he did, I'd be embarrassed to say I'm a winger......

"Obviously, our biggest enemy is Dong, and I've told my teammates how to keep an eye on him."

Is it? Muntari himself didn't believe it, how to defend Dong Fangzhuo......

This match may be the most lacking "star" game in the quarterfinals, but it may become a decisive battle with far-reaching significance. If Ghana win, they will become the first African team in history to reach the semi-finals of a World Cup.

Ghana is now the hope of all of Africa. When they beat the United States to reach the last eight of the World Cup, thousands of fans poured into the streets even in Ethiopia.

Ghana's African supporters certainly include World Cup hosts, South Africans. Former South African President Nelson Mandela also paid tribute to their achievements at the World Cup by hosting all the Ghanaian squad at his home in Cape Town yesterday.

And it was not only Mandela who rushed to invite the Ghana team as a guest. South Africa's current president, Jacob Zuma, also presented the Ghana team with a special flag signed by African celebrities who supported the Ghana team to continue their World Cup appearance. In addition to Zuma, the event was attended by the president of the African Football Confederation (CAF), Hayatu, the head coach of the South African team, Andreas Pereira, and another former South African president, Mbeki.

In addition to the concern of the dignitaries, the hosts have more substantial support for their African brothers - several provincial governments in South Africa have called on citizens to wear Ghanaian jerseys and be "Ghanaian fans" in the quarterfinals between Ghana and China this afternoon.

In other words, the Chinese team will no longer have a 'home advantage' today, and the fans of the Chinese team will be suppressed by the opponent for the first time......

With the enthusiastic support of 1 billion people in the whole of Africa, the Ghana team will "fight hard" for an African team to reach the semi-finals of the World Cup for the first time in the match against the Chinese team.

But this is not enough, African fans believe that a strong group of relatives and friends is not enough to stop the Chinese team, they also invited wizards, and their striker Jian did not shy away from talking about it.

"We have powerful wizards who have cursed the Chinese team and the Chinese Dong......"

"Our wizards will cast spells on the spot."

I don't know if this counts as psychological warfare......

In fact, taking a Shenhan wizard to a major tournament is not an invention unique to Ghana. African teams are more or less fond of this trick.

For example, the host South African team firmly believes that it has "MUTI" protection. The word, which seems to us to be incomprehensible, comes from the Zulu language, which means witchcraft and traditional medicine.

Moreover, this kind of protection is not a thousand-year-old formula, and it will always evolve with the times and invent innovations. Recently, the more popular formula is to mix all kinds of strange plants with horse hooves and ostrich legs to form an unidentified object.

It is believed that this remedy that is currently popular in South Africa is something that the goalkeeper cannot stop when the player wears it on his knee or leg. Explained from a physical point of view, the function of this substance approximates that of a thrust engine or even a photonic accelerator......

"We don't just have one wizard, we have a wizard group, and there are ten wizards who will keep an eye on the Chinese Dong ...... in all directions"

Do it all!

It's scary......

Then Ghana announced their starting line-up, and they played in a 4231 formation:

Goalkeeper: Jinson

Defenders: Panterhill, Mensah, Vosa, Sarpe

Midfielders: Annan, Kevin Boateng, Inkum, Asamoah, Muntari

Striker: Ji'an

Facing the menacing Ghana team, Crawford still took Dong Fangzhuo to attend the pre-match press conference leisurely.

However, at the beginning, the content of the interview was not about the game, but about Blatter.

"Dong, do you know that your words detonated a scandal in international football?"

"What did I say? I didn't say anything, as a player I just focused on the game...... This is what Mr. Blatter told me, and I will follow it carefully. ”

“……”

Then Dong Fangzhuo talked about the Ghana team, and some of them were overstepping, but Crawford had nothing to do.

'Ghana are a strong team, although this team is not very star-studded and has less Essien, but believe me, they are a very strong team and the players in every position are great. They are much better than the Chinese team......"

So modest? Doesn't it mean that this Chinese team is the strongest Chinese team in history? Why did you show weakness in front of the Ghana team?

'Essien is a world-class midfielder, thankfully he's not there, but Ghana still have the likes of Gian, Asamoah, Hyypia, Muntari and Ayew, and their midfield is too strong.

Dong Fangzhuo is a person from the past, so he naturally knows the Ghana team very well, and these guys he said are all powerful players, and any one of them is the main force in the five major European leagues.

"Are you scared to hear that the Ghana team has prepared a wizard to deal with you?"

"Don't be afraid, wizards can't be on the stage."

"What is a wizard, there are so many immortals in our China, just pull a few out and scare the wizards of South Africa to death......"
