Amid the singing of African artists, a live screen introduced the stadiums that hosted the Cup. Then the famous South African singer Morey entered the venue and sang a song called "Hope", which was written by Mandela, so it was very eye-catching. To Morey's singing, a giant beetle pushes the ball off the pitch as the World Cup begins. Performers in the stadium also used dyed cloth to form a pattern of the African continent, and Mandela's head appeared on the big screen, and the audience stood up in salute. Originally, the song was sung by Nchebe, but due to his sudden death, he made temporary adjustments. The applause of the audience was also like Nchebe's nostalgia, which was the most touching moment of this Cup. At the same time, footprints appeared on the pattern of the African continent, indicating that football has come to Africa.

After the song "Hope", the local South African band TKZee performed "shibobo", and the simulated shape of a football field appeared in the center of the field, and the performers formed a five-pointed star pattern around it, and the dance full of strong African style also reached the climax. Subsequently, the famous rapper HHP appeared on the stage to sing. After him, the singers from the six participating countries from Africa appeared on the stage.

After the performances of artists from six African countries, the famous American singer R? KELLY AND THE SOUL BAND SOWETO TOOK TO THE SCENE, AND THEY BROUGHT THE THEME SONG OF THIS WORLD CUP "CALL TO VICTORY". The national flags of all members of FIFA entered the stadium in the singing, and naturally the five-star red flag also appeared, reflecting the unity and strength of football. The opening ceremony of the World Cup ended with the chorus of South Africa's unique Vuvuzula instruments.

"The performance at the opening ceremony was wonderful. In particular, we just saw the five-star red flag fluttering, and it is said that there were three Chinese girls as dancers in the opening ceremony. All these are the Chinese elements of this World Cup. Of course. The biggest Chinese element is still Han Sen next to me. Liu Jianhong said sincerely, "I don't know if you have any forward-looking predictions for the next opening game, South Africa vs. Mexico, Han Sen?" ”

Han Sen coughed and said, "First of all, I would like to use my VIP rights to stop the fly screaming in the audience, but unfortunately I can't deprive the South African people of their right to rejoice." ”

Liu Jianhong laughed: "Doss in the Mexican team? Santos and Marcos. You've played for Barcelona and you've played for, do you have any expectations for them, Han Sen? ”

"Doss? Santos in my season at Barcelona. I left Barcelona and went to Tottenham Hotspur, I should say I don't know him very well. "But Marcos and I are very good, and until now we send a text message to say hello and blessings every New Year's Day." And in that season at Barcelona. I've played a lot with Marcos, we've had a great time working together, he's the greatest player in Mexico. ”

Liu Jianhong smiled: "As an ordinary fan, I would like to know what football superstars are among the recipients of your text messages during the New Year's holidays, Han Sen?" ”

Han Sen also deliberately replied subtly: "If you can think of any star who has contact with me, I will send them a text message." ”

After the start of the game, Mexico dominated the first half, and the 433 domineering formation seemed to want to eat the opponent in one bite. Liu Jianhong commented that Mexico does not want to have a long-distance race at all. The formation of 433 and the presence of Marquez and Dos Santos, two core players who are playing and playing for Barcelona, make Mexico look like a copycat version of the Barcelona team. Another interesting thing is that Mexico's 1.71 meters plus 37-year-old goalkeeper, this kind of amateur goalkeeper is hard to find in the height and aging bounce, Han Sen directly said that the head coach's employment is really not based on trust but on courage, this height should also be regarded as a World Cup record.

Hansen also had a witty commentary on the game, pointing out that Mexico's attacking characteristics are also the same as Barcelona's, with three forwards responsible for opening up the attacking width and full-backs also involved in the attack, and finally solving the problem in the middle, while increasing the counter-attacking efforts in the midfield to prevent South Africa from organizing the attack smoothly. But although Mexico's possession rate is almost 60% like Barcelona, the lack of offensive finishers is Mexico's offensive weakness, whether it is No. 9 Franco or No. 14 Hernandez, who was replaced later, they lack the temperament of a killer to hit a lethal blow, especially in the first half, Franco had more than two or three chances, but failed to grasp one. Dos Santos was very active in this game, with a very strong awareness of dribbling forward and breaking through the ball, but the shooting and the final reaction in front of the goal were lacking, like the opportunity to hit the empty goal at the beginning, if you can calm down a little, it may not be the same situation.

In the second half, South Africa's pleasing rapid counterattack and small cooperation at the front of the penalty area were subject to Mexico's strong pressure and the immaturity of their own technical and tactical fire to not seize the fatal opportunity of sneak attack, and in the second half, with the adjustment of head coach Pereira and the decline of Mexico's physical strength, the South African team's rapid counterattack began to reflect the advantage. More than 50 minutes South Africa team No. 8 goal is very beautiful, the organization process is a typical example of a quick counterattack goal, Han Sen said that Mexico is a copycat Barcelona, on the other hand, South Africa also has some Caspello period Real Madrid feeling, the players are full of energy, the midfield is fast and effective, and for Mexico on the whole line, South Africa also played very sharply behind it, in addition to scoring in the second half, there were several must-have goals were wasted due to the lack of ability of players to seize opportunities, and at the last time, Han Sen's Barcelona teammate Max equalized, so that the game ended 1-1.

Liu Jianhong said happily: "This is Han Sen's first time you broadcast a game live, it seems that your demeanor and knowledge off the football field are not inferior to those on the field, why don't you summarize today's game for us!" ”

Han Sen said with a smile: "Everyone has watched the game, and they naturally have opinions on the content of the game. In recent years, due to the rise of Barcelona in club competitions, the control of the ball and the magnificence of the attack have become the pursuit of many teams, and it has indeed become a trend of football development. Although this year's European competition was won by our Inter Milan by defensive counterattack, but for the World Cup, it is a game with only one winner and thirty-one losers, as a team representing national honor, it is normal not to win the championship, and there are only seven championships in the entire history of the World Cup, so playing well to repay the fans has become one of the basic goals of many teams. Judging from the opening game, Mexico and South Africa have this mentality of both winning and playing, and the long-range shots with a high rate of murderous mistakes can not be seen, and both sides are embroidered in front of the penalty area throughout the game, delusionally trying to firmly control the ball at their feet, reaching the realm of Barcelona's passing goal, but the skills of the two teams are obviously not enough, the offensive process seems gorgeous, but it is difficult to achieve results, for such a game where the offensive and defensive conversions are extremely fast, and the two sides are wide open and close, there are only two goals, There are only a handful of threatening shots on goal, and neither team can really get it. It can be seen that the classic football style is not formed in one or two days, and mastering a classic football style is not just by being able to imitate the consciousness, but requires a good physical fitness and technical foundation as a guarantee, and it has been tempered over the years. ”

Liu Jianhong said sincerely: "Sure enough, it is the perspective of the world footballer, it is very good, here I also do a little publicity for our CCTV, due to Han Sen's strong joining, the ratings of CCTV Sports Channel in the opening game reached 45% from 12% before the start of the game, which we did not expect in advance, and at the same time, this is also close to the broadcast record of CCTV broadcast of a single sports event, you must know that in the non-Olympic sports events, the broadcast of football events is the most intense, especially now that online live broadcast is popular today, Our CCTV can account for nearly half of the market share, and it can be said that most of it is due to Han Sen! ”

Han Sen thought to himself that it was okay to say this in private, and it would be broadcast live, but he had no choice but to get off the donkey: "Thank you CCTV for giving me this opportunity, and I will continue to serve all fans and friends in the next events." (To be continued......)
