Chapter 467 Going to Brazil, the start of the World Cup journey

After the UEFA Champions League ended, Li Chuanqi finally understood what it meant to gain both fame and fortune.

Li Chuanqi became the first football star with an annual income exceeding [-] million yuan, which aroused widespread discussion among fans and media all over the world.

It has been a whole week since Li Chuanqi finished his work, and then he reported to the Spanish team.

Bosque is considerate. After Li Chuanqi and others returned to the team, they did not arrange heavy exercise and gave them enough rest time.

Even in several warm-up matches during the period, Bosque did not allow Li Chuanqi to play the whole game.

Due to Atletico Madrid winning the Champions League, Atletico Madrid has as many as six players selected for the squad this time, only one less than Barcelona, ​​while Real Madrid has only four players selected.

This is the first time in the history of Atletico Madrid that they have surpassed Real Madrid in numbers.

On June [-], Spain went to the United States for a training camp and was warmly received by President Obama at the White House.

Obama encouraged Li Chuanqi to perform at a high level like never before in the World Cup in Brazil and contribute more wonderful goals to fans all over the world.

Spain is assigned to Group B, which also includes the Netherlands, Chile and Australia.

Spain and the Netherlands are the biggest favorites to qualify for this group. After all, the two teams were the champions and runners-up of the last World Cup.

After four years, the two teams were divided into the same group. The Dutch fans and the media were very excited about this, clamoring for "revenge".

After a week of training in the United States, the Spanish team went to Brazil, and the World Cup journey officially kicked off.

On June [-], the Spanish team appeared at the Salvador International Airport and was warmly received by fans and the media.

Salvador is a coastal city in the northeast of the Federative Republic of Brazil, the capital of the state of Bahia, and the third largest city in Brazil.

Facing more than 300 media reporters who came to live all over the world, Lower Spain coach Bosque talked about this World Cup group match: "The four teams in Group B are all strong teams. Our goal is to make steady progress and gradually find The feel of the game."

Bosque kept silent about whether the group could qualify. Perhaps in his opinion, there is no problem at all for the group to qualify.

He didn't want to talk about it, but media reporters didn't make him happy. A Dutch reporter asked: "What do you think of the curse of the defending champion?"

1998年世界杯冠军法国队，在02年韩日世界杯上连小组都没有出线；02年世界杯冠军巴西队倒在八强上；06年世界杯冠军意大利队，在10年世界杯上小组未出线。

This is the so-called "curse of the defending champion".

"We are not the French team, we are not the Italian team."

Bosque said calmly: "We will definitely enter the knockout rounds, that's for sure."

The curse of the defending champion has become the main content of media reporters interviewing Spain.

Harvey said: "The defending champion cannot qualify from the group. The main problem is that the players are aging and the main players have injuries. Spain does not have such problems. So the so-called curse has nothing to do with Spain."

Iniesta said: "This is a good thing, reminding us to enter the state as soon as possible!"

Pique said with a smile: "For us, there is no problem in qualifying for the group stage. Our goal is to compete for the championship!"

Costa shrugged and said: "We can't take France and Italy as examples. We are more like the Brazil team in 94 and 98. Brazil won the championship in 94 and Brazil entered the final in 98. Now we are very similar to the Brazil team back then.

When Brazil won the championship in 94, Ronaldo did not play. As the core of the team in 98, Ronaldo shined a lot and led Brazil all the way to the final.

Li did not participate in the last World Cup. He participated in this World Cup as an offensive core, which is very similar to the Brazil team that year.

So, for us, the so-called magic spell does not exist. "

Li Chuanqi said: "Curse? I never think about these.

Even if there is a spell, just break it!

It's like a record, the purpose of the spell is for us to break it.

This is my first World Cup journey, and I hope to have a perfect summer without leaving any regrets for myself.

I believe in my teammates, they are the best players in the world. "

When talking about the goal of this World Cup, Li Chuanqi said: "To win the championship is definitely the first goal, and then to be the top scorer."

He nodded and said, "Well, that's it."

For this World Cup, Li Chuanqi has "ambition".

To become a famous star in history, you must have a very important champion in your hand.

He has completed the championship of the top league and the Champions League this season, which can be regarded as very successful.

But this is the result of the professional league.

In the national team, he has no achievements.

When he won the Golden Globe at the beginning of this year, many fans and the media attacked him, thinking that he had not won a significant championship.

Although he didn't care much about those words, they still left a deep impression on him.

This year is the World Cup year, of course he wants to win the World Cup to justify himself.

Stop those people's mouths with the World Cup.

The Spanish team is of course strong, but many people have not seen the potential crisis of the Spanish team. The core of the last World Cup, Harvey and others are already old.

Time is relentless. Four years ago, Harvey and others were in high spirits. Today, four years later, they are no longer at their peak and are entering the end of their careers.

In this case, the so-called "curse of the defending champion" actually exists.

But Li Chuanqi is a person with "ambition", he does not allow this to exist, he wants to lead Spain to break the "curse of the defending champion".

When talking about the first game of the group, Li Chuanqi said: "It is normal for the Netherlands to want revenge. We must understand the feelings of the Dutch fans. They reached the World Cup finals twice but failed in the end.

But understanding belongs to understanding, we will not let them succeed.

The Dutch team is a very strong team with many powerful and well-known players in the team, and it is an opponent worthy of respect. "

That night, Li Chuanqi wrote on his social platform: "Forget the past, a new journey has begun! Here I come, Brazil!"

Fans have sent him messages of encouragement:

"Yes, a new journey has begun, Li, come on, I look forward to more surprises from you!"

"What is 'more surprises', for Li, that's what it should be!"

"Brother downstairs, you are inflated, we must keep a low profile, we must keep a low profile!"

"I'm here too, Brazil, well, I'm on my way to Brazil..."

"Li, for you, this is just another arena, defeating all opponents, standing on the highest podium, overlooking the world!"

"Indeed, I think that's what the World Cup is like. It's just that the opponents are happy, and the opponents are stronger, but Spain is very strong, really strong! Come on, Li, this is the World Cup for you to ascend to the throne Journey!"

"Don't worry, brothers, there's no problem. Spain won the World Cup without Li in the last World Cup. What's the problem with this World Cup?"
