The sixth professional football player who started with Manchester United

Chapter 120 Opening 4
Morale is invisible but can be felt.

When everyone is about the same, there is no feeling, but when the ups and downs are relatively large, it is completely different.

Just like Wales at this moment, this goal can be said to make Wales feel refreshed.

After all, I haven't participated in the World Cup for decades, and Brazil's name is out of the question. In addition, before the game, countless people are optimistic about Brazil, and even they are not optimistic about themselves.

So before the game started, the Welsh players, even if the coach Koeman's tactics were defensive, conceded a goal in the first half, Koeman's midfielder was still defensive, which meant that the game could not be played. Try to concede as few goals as possible, so how can the team have morale.

And Dabao's goal woke up all the Welsh players. They found that the opponent is not invincible, they will make mistakes, and their goals will be broken.

As a result, Brazil was in trouble after the game restarted.

They found that although their foot skills still had an advantage, Wales did not bother with your foot skills at all, frequent physical contact, and their feet were very ruthless, especially in the midfield. Brazil was unable to effectively organize the attack at one time. It can only be constantly speeding up the rhythm of passing and receiving the ball.

But in this way, mistakes will inevitably increase.

Although Wales received two yellow cards for such a defense, it suppressed the opponent's offensive momentum.

Especially Neymar, it can be said that he has received intensive care.

As long as at least two people around you take the ball, they immediately stick to it, directly to the body.

Dabao continued to tease his opponent's emotions with some small moves.

For a while, the game on the field fell into a stalemate, and many people found that although Brazil had very good skills, they played too relaxedly, and as time went by, the emotions of Brazilian players changed. became a little irritable.

Under the ebb and flow, the two sides have formed the current stalemate.

However, Wales can get the current situation because of completely sacrificing their own offense. Dabao even stood in the position of central defender to participate in the defense. Generally speaking, the overall strength of Brazil is still far higher than that of Wales. There are many other factors that could have contributed to the current draw.

The entire second half of the game can be said to be more than inspiring, but not exciting enough.

What the fans were presented with was more of a fierce fight, with everyone on the field tumbling over, but with wonderful coordination and wonderful offense, there was not a single wonderful goal.

The time of the game is also slowly passing away.

Finally, after nearly 5 minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

The opening match of the 20th Brazil World Cup has officially ended.

Brazil and Wales drew 1-1.

This result can definitely be regarded as a pleasant surprise for Wales, but it is somewhat unacceptable for Brazil, especially those who were optimistic about Brazil before the game, are somewhat unacceptable for this result.

You know that Brazil is the favorite to win this World Cup.

But in this game Brazil did not show the performance that a favorite to win the championship should have.

"As the host nation in the opening game, this put a lot of pressure on our players, so we only played one half of the game and did not perform as well as we should in the remaining half."

At the post-match press conference, Brazilian coach Scolari also directly criticized the players' performance in the second half.

"I am very satisfied with the performance of all our players, especially Jack, whether in the team's defense or offense, he can always stand up to help his teammates build confidence, which is rare and valuable." Koeman said after the game It also expressed his appreciation for Dabao.

To be able to get a point from Brazil is very unexpected and very precious for Wales.

The day after the opening game, another match in Group A of the World Cup group stage also kicked off at the Dunes Stadium in Natal.

Finally after 90 minutes of confrontation.

Mexico defeated Cameroon 1-0.

In this way, after the first round of competition, Mexico ranked first, while Brazil and Wales ranked second and third, and Cameroon was last.

According to the schedule, the second round of Wales will be played on June 6, when their opponent in the second round will be the Cameroon team. This game is also a battle that can determine the fate of Wales and Cameroon.

According to the results of the first round, if Wales can defeat Cameroon, then regardless of the final results of Brazil and Mexico, Wales will have an advantage in qualifying for this group.

The same goes for Cameroon, which has already lost one game. If it loses again, it will basically be considered a flight home.

So after the game, the Welsh team also arrived in Manaus, the capital of the Brazilian Amazon, and their second round match with Cameroon will be held in such an Amazon arena.

After arriving in Manaus, the Welsh team also started a closed training session.

When the Welsh team was preparing for the second round of the match, the eight group matches of the World Cup were also carried out one after another, and several attention-getting matches also came to somewhat surprising results.

In the first round of competition, there are three games that are very eye-catching, and they are all focus battles.

One is Spain in Group B versus the Netherlands, another is England in Group D versus Italy, and the last one is Germany in Group G versus Portugal.

The three European civil wars were all about strong-power dialogue.

The final result is also somewhat unexpected. In fact, no matter who wins the three games, it will not be surprising. The reason why it is surprising is the score of the game.

Spain vs Netherlands, Vicente del Bosque and Van Gaal's confrontation.

In the end, Spain lost 1 to 5 to the Netherlands. Van Persie and Robben both scored twice, while only Alonso scored a penalty to save face in Spain.

In Group D, Italy defeated England 2-1. This score is not a big problem.

The match in Group G was also somewhat unexpected. Germany beat Portugal 4-0. Although there were more people supporting Germany before the start of the match, the score was still somewhat surprising. It also successfully staged a hat-trick. With the end of the first round of each group, Wales will also usher in its own key battle.
