Chapter 749: South African Commentary (8)

Han Sen smiled dumbly: "In my previous commentary, I said that no matter whether you win or lose, there will be different World Cup rules, spells or coincidences, everyone can laugh at it, and some rules are actually very easy to explain, such as the curse that you said that you can't win the championship after losing the first game, it's very simple, there are only seven World Cup games, and the preparation is so strict, if you can't even win the first game, the team's strength to win the championship first is doubtful." Another example is what you said about eliminating dark horses in the top four to win the championship, generally the dark horse team reaches the top four, all of them are the end of the strong crossbow, and the giant team can win it with leisure, and when they enter the finals, the psychological and physiological torment they experience is far easier than that of the team facing off against the other giant. ”

Liu Jianhong smiled: "Han Sen, what you said is very reasonable, today's opponent has your opponent who used to play for Barcelona, and the other side also has your current teammates in the Inter club, I want to know which side you support today." ”

Hansen said: "Sneijder has been very outstanding this season, especially in the Champions League final, my two goals, both of which were greatly helped by Sneijder, and he has always been Inter's set-piece starter, Mourinho has arranged for me to take free kicks many times, but I still can't compete with him, so his technical characteristics are very prominent, and the combination of him and Robben will be the key to whether the Netherlands can win today." As for Spain, I think they will be invincible at least as long as they do their best, and judging by the knockout results of these two teams, this game will probably be dull and there will not be too many goals. ”

Liu Jianhong said excitedly: "Okay, I listened to the prediction of the World Footballer. Let's see if this game will go as Han Sen wants. ”

"0-0, the goal rate in this World Cup is a bit low to be honest, this problem has been there since the beginning of the tournament, in the first 13 matches of the Cup, there were only 20 goals, an average of 1.54 goals per game. This is lower than the lowest goal average of 2.21 goals at the 1990 World Cup in Italy. Scientific reports show that for every 1,000 meters of elevation, the oxygen level is 10% less, which makes players tired, and six of South Africa's 10 World Cup stadiums are located in highlands above 1,000 meters above sea level, which is why Ecuador's home stadium is known as the devil's home stadium, because it is located in the plateau. Many teams, including the Netherlands, went to Europe or Africa for training before the game, and England and South Korea even used highland tent devices to help players adapt to sleep therapy, but the effect was not good. Liu Jianhong talked eloquently.

Uruguayan striker Diego? Forlan and Spanish striker Villa. ”

Han Sen smiled: "It's an honor that at least half of them were or are my teammates. ”

Liu Jianhong said approvingly: "In fact, this is the reason why Han Sen can reach the pinnacle of world football, and he lives in the world's highest level football team." ”

The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, Han Sen was said by Liu Jianhong, yes, he won the honor of the treble with Barcelona and Inter for two consecutive seasons, next season, will this good luck continue? There is no doubt that if there is any expectation of this, then it is necessary to stay in a club with top equipment in every way, such as Real Madrid.
