Chapter 374: Unpopular Appears!

Tang Jue couldn't help but laugh when he saw the comments of the British media, these people are really too good at talking, two things that don't have anything to do with each other, they can be linked together.

These will not affect his mood, but those endless stars are annoying, they seem to really have a leg with Tang Jue. Some went too far, and even published so-called "nude photos" with Tang Jue on their blogs.

The French fans were quick to reveal the photos - they were photoshopped!

If Don would never want to know any of this, unless he doesn't go to TV, the Internet, or the newspapers. As a modern person, is this possible?

Alice wasn't around, and the other players could go to meet their families after training, but he had to sit alone in the hotel. If he doesn't watch TV and surf the Internet, then he will really go crazy.

It's really troublesome to deal with these things, for example, if you go and sue her, then she will be happier, and this exposure rate ......

Ignore her, Tang Jue's reputation will be even more "famous".

In a word, France's number one star has a really bad reputation now, he is a "flowery young man", and there are already more than 30 women who have said that they have had a super friendly relationship.

……

At 8 o'clock in the evening of the 15th, the second game of the first round of Group G was contested at Ellis Park Stadium. The two sides are Brazil and the mysterious North Korea.

In the group of death, if you want to qualify from the group, every game is crucial, and if you are not careful, you will be eliminated and unable to qualify from the group.

Brazil is the only team to have participated in every World Cup, while North Korea has been in the finals for the first time since 1966. Brazil won back-to-back matches against Ireland, Zimbabwe and Tanzania in the warm-up matches. North Korea, on the other hand, lost to Paraguay and Nigeria, respectively. Only draws against South Africa and Greece.

The Brazilian team in this tournament is quite experienced, with an average age of 29 years and 60 days being the longest. North Korea is the third-to-last young team at 25 years and 140 days.

Both sides were very careful in the early stages of the game and it wasn't until the seventh minute that the first shot of the game was taken. Melo steals the ball up front and passes the ball and Elano crosses and shoots wide from 25 yards out on the right.

Brazil then showed their prowess, threatening North Korea's goal on a regular basis.

In the ninth minute, Kaka passed the ball and Robinho's shot from 22 yards went wide of the right post.

In the 10th minute, McCone passed the ball and Bastos shot wide from the left.

North Korea's first shot on goal came in the 11th minute, Ahn Young-hak passed, and Chung Dae-se's decisive shot from the right side of the penalty area was confiscated by Cesar in the face of three Brazilian players.

A fierce confrontation ensued.

Thirteenth minute. Elano's stab shot from inside the box was easily collected by Li Mingguo.

Sixteenth minute. Zhi Yinnan passed, and Wen Renguo's powerful shot from 25 meters was blocked. A minute later, Jung Dae-seok passed the ball and Cha Jung-hyuk fired a powerful shot wide of the far corner from 25 meters on the right.

Nineteenth minute. The half-time gate of the Literati Kingdom was easily obtained by Cesar.

Twenty-first minute. Fabiano's direct pass. Robinho's low shot from ten meters on the right side of the box was confiscated by Lee Myung Kwok.

In the 26th minute, Zheng Dashi shook Juan on the left and crossed the far corner.

In the twenty-seventh minute, Melo crossed diagonally. McConn's powerful shot from 25 yards on the right was saved by Li Mingguo in the near corner.

Both sides defended very well and did not give each other a good chance to score, and the first half ended 0-0.

After the start of the second half, five-star Brazil stepped up their attack.

In the 50th minute, Robinho's shot from inside the box was blocked, Kaka won a free kick at the top of the box, and Bastos fired directly wide of the left post.

In the 53rd minute, Kaka returned the pass, and Robinho's powerful shot from 25 meters on the right side went wide of the far corner again.

In the 55th minute, there was a wonderful scene: Elano's through ball was unexpectedly fired from almost zero angle from the right side of the penalty area. The ball flew towards the goal like a cannonball. North Korean goalkeeper Ri Myung-kook was caught off guard and did not stop the football.

The ball is in!

The score became 1-0!

Brazil breaks the deadlock on the field!

The goal sparked Brazil's fighting spirit even more, and they crushed North Korea by virtue of their strength in the subsequent matches. Brazil extended the score in the 72nd minute, Robinho's through pass tore apart the North Korean defense, and Elano pushed a shot into the far corner from 12 meters on the right side of the penalty area.

The score became 2-0!

Just when people thought that Brazil was going to keep a clean sheet against North Korea, North Korea pulled one back in the 89th minute, Jung Dae-se's header was ferried, and Ji Yoon-nam burst into the penalty area and scored with a powerful shot eight meters from the left rib of the penalty area.

In the end, Brazil won the match 2-1, winning their first game in eight consecutive World Cups. Brazil's win was not more than expected, and North Korea lost the game, but they earned the respect of the world.

The 16th is the last match day of the first round of the group stage, and the last two matches of Group H will be staged. At half past one o'clock in the afternoon, the match between Chile and Honduras at the Mbobella Stadium began.

The last time Honduras played in the World Cup was in 1982, when the North and Central American teams drew with Belarus and Azerbaijan and lost to Venezuela and Romania respectively.

Chile, which is participating in the World Cup for the eighth time, has a strong momentum after Argentine coach Bielsa took over, losing only to Mexico in the warm-up matches, and winning Trinidad and Tobago, Zambia, Northern Ireland and Israel respectively.

Chile came close to finding the back of the net in the second minute when Mattías Fernandez fired a free-kick from 25 yards just over the crossbar.

Chile took the lead in the 34th minute when Matthias Fernandez crossed from the right side of the box and Mendoza cleared the ball and deflected it into the net over Bosejour.

1 to 0!

Chile won their first match with this goal.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, at the Durban Stadium, the favourites Spain made their debut, and their opponent was the Swiss team. Spain are unbeaten in 15 wins and three draws in 18 meetings between the two sides, and after winning all 10 matches in qualifying to qualify for the finals, Spain have beaten Saudi Arabia, South Korea and Poland in their warm-up matches.

Spain's invincibility before the start of the World Cup. They are behind France and are the second favourites to win the title.

It was Switzerland's ninth World Cup appearance and kept a clean sheet for 394 minutes in the 2006 World Cup, only to be eliminated on penalties when they lost to Ukraine. However, they have not won one of the last six warm-up games.

Therefore, before the game, it was thought that it was reasonable for Spain, who were in good form, to win.

Spain controlled the game from the opening kick-off. In the 10th minute, Switzerland's first corner kick was cleared, and after Villa and David Silva kicked the wall, they forced a burst into the left side of the penalty area, and Benario confiscated it in time.

Spain's first shot on goal came in the 17th minute, when Capdevilla passed the ball. David Silva's powerful left-footed shot from the left-hand edge of the box is parried away by Benario.

Pique then passed the ball. Ramos cut into the right side of the box and fired wide of the near corner.

In the 21st minute, Capdevilla passed the ball, and Iniesta's shot from 25 meters was easily collected by Benario.

Spain almost opened the scoring in the 24th minute, when Andres Iniesta passed through. Pique shook Grichtin's shot from 12 yards. Blocked by Benario with his legs.

Switzerland's first shot on goal came in the 26th minute. Xavi's dangerous move was violated when Inler took a free-kick and Ziegler's powerful shot from 25 yards was saved by Casillas and confiscated.

Switzerland broke the deadlock in the 52nd minute. Derdyyok burst into the box and went down while dodging Casillas, but the follow-up Fernandez shot was blocked by Pique, who fired into the net from close range.

The score became 1-0!

The favourites to win the tournament are one goal behind the strong Spain.

With the score behind, Spain launched a tidal attack, and the Swiss team shrank their defence. Spain came close to equalising in the 70th minute when Villa crossed and Torres burst into the left side of the box and stabbed wide of the near corner from a tight angle. Xavi then whipped in a corner and Alonso hit the crossbar with a powerful shot from 22 yards.

As the referee's whistle sounded, the game was over. Spain had 24 shots on goal and 63% possession, but they still lost to Switzerland for the first time in their history, and their World Cup campaign got off to a bad start.

Spain lost 0-1, causing the biggest upset since the start of this World Cup. The world was in an uproar, and the Spanish media harshly criticized the Spanish team.

Marca commented: No one expected such a result, not even the fans of the Swiss team. It's hard to explain to those who didn't watch the game that Spain would lose to a team with a low level in this way. You know, most of the players of the Spanish opponent are unfamiliar to everyone.

In the World Cup, the Spanish team often suffered the tragedy of going home early, and in the 1998 World Cup, Spain was eliminated from the group; In 2002, Spain was driven home by hosts South Korea in the quarter-finals; In 2006, Spain were sent home by France immediately after qualifying from the group. Now, the Spanish team is in crisis again, and this time, can they get out of it?

We can't deny that the Spanish team is overconfident. In the group stage, Switzerland, Honduras, Chile and other "weak teams" were drawn, and the Spanish team thought they had won the jackpot.

Because these teams are the opponents everyone wants, no one believes that they can overturn the strong teams, you know, the three opponents in the group stage have never beaten Spain.

Despite the caution of head coach Bosque, the Spanish team believed they were the winners before the game even began, under the media touter. They were gearing up for the knockout match, and it seemed that the group opponents did not exist.

The Spanish players decided that Switzerland would not play at all, and they ignored the superior defence of the Swiss team.

Spain's defeat wasn't all bad, as it came sooner rather than later. Since there is only an undefeated record in the world, and there is no undefeated team, losing in the first round of the group stage is not actually an irreparable failure.

On the one hand, after the defeat in this game, Spain still has 6 points to fight for, and the chances of qualifying from the group are still very high; On the other hand, an early defeat can also pour cold water on the Spanish team and prevent them from being arrogant all the way.

This is only the first game of the group stage and Spain still have a few days to further adjust their squad and mentality. What's more, Iniesta has just returned from injury in this game, and Torres only came on as a substitute in the second half.

Spain lost, but fans should continue to have confidence in Spain. In the first half, although Spain did not score, the players used their skillful footwork and gorgeous combination to crush the Swiss team almost completely unable to lift their heads.

Xavi, Andres Iniesta, Villa and Silva, who are not very tall, showed a high standard, but they were not threatening enough in the final link. Over time, Spain's performance in the World Cup will definitely get better and better.

And fans are really reluctant to leave the World Cup early with such a star-studded team that pursues beautiful football. Football also needs faith, and the beautiful football of the Spanish team deserves everyone's care.

Spain learned a lesson from the loss, and what Bosque's disciples have to do now is to sum up, rest well, and regain the magic that disappeared in the game against Switzerland, and magic is the most important element of Spain's miracle in creating the European championship.

……

The Argentine media took the opportunity to stab Spain, with the headline of Ole newspaper: Favourite? Bah!

Spain entered the World Cup with a bright star, but were upset by Switzerland in their opening game. Fernandes' goal, although suspected offside, caused the biggest upset of this World Cup.

Bosque sent Iniesta, Xavi, Villa, but to no avail. The anticipation, the starlight, and the desire to get the World Cup trophy in your hands all disappeared in an instant. When Fernandes broke through the defence of Pique and Casillas and sent the ball into the net, the Spaniard's heart stopped beating.

……

With the end of the match between Spain and Switzerland, all 32 teams were presented. In the first round of the favourite, the table was normal, and most of them were victorious. Among them, the German team won by four goals, which was the most eye-catching, while the French team was in the middle of the game. (To be continued......)
