The top prediction at the start, I am the third ball king

Chapter 523 "Defeat Spain!"

As time went on, more and more fans entered the Castellão Stadium.

The fans sang and danced, as if participating in a grand festival.

For them, this is a grand festival every four years, and they have waited for four years for this day.

Even waited for many years.

For example, Colombian fans, their team reached the knockout stage for the first time in the 1990 World Cup. It took many years for their team to reach the knockout stage again.

They waited all their lives for this day.

Maybe after today's game, their team will leave Brazil, so today is the last supper.

They want to turn the Castelao Stadium into a sea of ​​joy.

The mentality of the Colombian fans is very good. Their team has created a new history without any baggage.

Spanish fans are different. They are very eager for their team to beat their opponents today and advance to the semi-finals.

Because they once stood on top of the world and enjoyed the envious eyes of the world.

The mentality of the fans on both sides is completely different.

So Spanish fans are more focused on Li Chuanqi's state, while Colombian fans don't care about this at all. Can Li Chuanqi play?Did you have any great performances after playing?Can you score a goal?

They don't care about all of these, they only pay attention to the game process, or they only enjoy the process of standing in the stands and cheering for their team.

On the warm-up field, Li Chuanqi's condition was mediocre, and he didn't even participate in shooting practice.

This makes Spanish fans worried.

The journalists on the sidelines were discussing:

"Bosque said that Lee can play 45 minutes of high-intensity games, I don't believe it!"

"So what if he can play? Can he continue to score goals?"

"It's hard to say, didn't he score in the last game?"

"That was an oversight by the Brazilian team. Besides that goal, did he have a shot?"

"Well, I agree with that, if he's on the pitch and Brazil defend him, he won't even have a shot, let alone a goal!"

"I didn't run as much as the goalkeeper in the whole game. Do you expect him to score?"

Many reporters are not optimistic about Li Chuanqi.

The Spanish media reporters were very calm and did not argue with these reporters.

Or in their view, there is no need to participate in these debates, which is a very "naive" approach.

They believed in what Li Chuanqi said - the game is played, not spoken.

After the warm-up, the players return to the locker room to make final preparations for the upcoming decisive battle.

……

Columbia locker room.

Coach Pekerman said loudly: "The media is not optimistic about us and thinks that our competition experience cannot be compared with that of Spain. I think this sentence is okay.

But they underestimated our desire to win, our determination to keep going, our attitude to make history again! "

These words instantly ignited the passion in the locker room, and the players roared:

"Columbia must win!"

"Beat Spain!"

"Let Spain cry!"

Pekerman nodded and said, "Very good! What I need is your attitude!"

Then he began to announce the starting lineup and tactical deployment.

……

The Spanish locker room does not have the passion of Colombia. Both Bosque and the players are very calm.

Having won the championship three times in a row, this Spanish team is used to seeing the scenery on the top of the mountain, and has been able to calm down.

Bosque said: "During the preparatory meeting in the morning, I said that we must take this game seriously, and I am emphasizing this again now!
We can't underestimate any opponent, bold words need to be supported by victory!

After defeating the opponent, I will not stop you whatever you want to say!

But what we have to do now is to take the game seriously. After entering the arena, we must concentrate and put all our energy in the game. "

Ramos nodded and said: "Coach, don't worry, we have experienced many important games and know what to do!"

Costa said carelessly: "Colombia is nothing, coach, you can rest assured, we will win."

What else can Bosque say? What should be emphasized has already been emphasized. Players like Costa still don't take the game seriously.

Forget it, having confidence at this time is also a good thing, and there must be a degree of suppression, too much will affect morale and confidence.

Bosque began to announce the starting lineup and deploy tactics.

Li Chuanqi is still not in the starting lineup, which almost everyone has thought of.

The first half was a war of attrition. It was not so easy to knock on Colombia's goal. The second half was the decisive moment.

Instead of putting Li Chuanqi in the first half, it is better to put it in the second half.

Harvey breathed a sigh of relief. Iniesta is no longer the only one who entered the starting lineup of Barcelona, ​​which shows that his communication with Del Bosque is effective.

As for him still not entering the starting lineup, although he is not very happy, it is understandable.

After all, I am already old now, maybe this World Cup is over, and I will leave the Spanish team.

The players listened carefully to Bosque's tactical arrangements.

……

At [-]:[-], the starting players of both sides appeared in the player channel.

The Colombian players couldn't help observing Spain, and found that Li Chuanqi was not in the team, they instinctively breathed a sigh of relief.

Pedro was chatting with the caddy, and the caddy looked at him and asked, "Why didn't you see Li? My friend heard that I will be the caddy for this game, and asked me to add a few autographs of Li."

The corner of Pedro's mouth twitched, and he said softly: "He has an injury on his foot, so he can only play as a substitute. As for signing..."

The caddy looked at him expectantly.

Pedro shrugged and said, "I can't help it either."

The caddy looked disappointed.

Pedro whispered something in his ear, and the caddy nodded repeatedly, with a bright smile on his face.

At 45 points, the starting players of both sides, under the leadership of the referee, led the caddy out of the player channel and into the court.

They were greeted with cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami.

The major TV stations will immediately start working.

The Spanish national TV commentator said loudly: "Friends of the audience! Friends of the fans!

We are now doing live commentary for you at the Castelão Stadium!
The match between Spain and Colombia is about to begin, and the starting players of both sides have already entered the stadium!

We now introduce the starting lineup for you!
Bosque formed a four-three-three formation: goalkeeper: Reina; Juanfran, Albiol, Ramos, Alba; three midfielders: Busquets, Alonso, Kekai; three forwards: Pedro, Torres, Iniesta!

Bosque made adjustments to multiple positions, and Busquets, Pedro, and Torres entered the starting lineup.

This is the first time the three of them have entered the starting lineup in this World Cup!
Pekerman ranked [-], the most popular formation in the world today, goalkeeper: Ospina; four defenders: Suniga, Zapata, Yepes, Almeiro; double midfielders: Guarin, Carlos Sanchez; three forwards: Cuadrado, James Rodriguez, Ibalbo; single forward: Gutierrez! "
