Chapter 639 The most starry opponent
Summer of 2018.
Moscow.
The weather is clear and very cool.
Although it is summer, because Moscow has a high latitude, their average summer temperature is around 10 to 20 degrees, which is very suitable for football.
Moreover, Russia has also made very professional adjustments to the venue for this World Cup.
The World Cup competition venue, no artificial grass.
Artificial grass is used in winter and is only used because the temperature is too cold. Many Russian courts actually automatically change to natural grass after summer.
After roughly understanding the situation in Russia, Xu Qi and his national teammates all got off the plane together and started their second trip to Russia.
They are already very familiar with Russia, after all, the Federation Cup is a good practice stage.
Today's national team is also a team with rich game experience.
At the same time, a large number of powerful national teams have also come to this land, the largest country in the world.
Argentina led by Messi;
Portugal led by Ronaldo;
Brazil led by Neymar;
There are also powerful players such as Spain and Germany who have dominated football for more than ten years.
England, known as the European Chinese team, of course, the Chinese team is different now, and they also want to use this World Cup to endorse themselves...
Within a few days, Russia has become the focus of attracting global attention, and the World Cup is about to begin.
The group where the Chinese team is located is a very difficult group of death.
The seeds are the French national team in very good shape recently.
They have talented talented players such as Griezmann and Martial, as well as Benzema who has returned to the national team.
In addition, there is also the Uruguay team led by Suarez in this group!
There is also a North American team, Costa Rica.
Costa Rica's strength has been very strong recently, and it is also considered an old opponent of the Chinese team.
The last time the Chinese team participated in the World Cup, in 2002, there was also Costa Rica among its group opponents.
Costa Rica is much better than the team it once was.
Their team's number one star is goalkeeper Keller Navas.
This is Real Madrid's main goalkeeper, and it is precisely because of his outstanding performance in the last World Cup that he has been appreciated by Real Madrid. In recent seasons, Casillas left Real Madrid and Xu Qi also had a confrontation with Real Madrid. Navas was also broken by Xu Qi many times. This is a very interesting story.
Although Suarez, who is in the Uruguay team, has grown older in recent years, his strength is still so evil.
As one of the members of Barcelona MSN, he has extraordinary football abilities and has faced Xu Qi many times in recent seasons. He is also an old opponent.
Of course, France has more old opponents. Benzema of Real Madrid once played for Monaco and Xu Qi, but now played for Martial, who is rivaling Manchester United and Xu Qi.
There is also Griezmann, who is very popular in football today, second only to Xu Qi, Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar, Messi and others.
In the midfield, the French team also has superb stars such as Pogba, Kante, Payer.
Today's French team is one of the favorites to win the championship!
The first opponent of the Chinese team in this World Cup is the French team!
After the World Cup began, the first round of three groups has ended, and the match between the Chinese and French teams in Group D will be held soon.
This is the most anticipated group match since the start of the World Cup.
One is the runner-up of the 2016 European Cup, the star-studded French national team.
Another is the unrivalled Chinese national team under the leadership of the world's number one Xu Qi, and even the Chinese national team was the champion of last year's Federation Cup.
No matter how valuable the Confederation Cup champion is, this is a very important title!
The match of Group D is held at the Gas Athletic Stadium in St. Petersburg.
This game even attracted leaders and leaders from China, Russia and France to watch the game on the spot.
It's enough to show how seriously this game is being valued.
St. Petersburg is located in the north of Moscow and is a coastal city, so the temperature is not higher than that of Moscow.
In the natural gas sports stadium, the number of Chinese fans once again overwhelmed the number of French fans.
The red on the scene was obviously thicker.
There were about 60,000 fans at this game, which could be said to be full.
There were countless Chinese fans at the scene, both international students and from home paid by themselves.
Of course, there are many Russian fans, as well as relatively recent Ukrainian fans.
Xu Qi is also very popular in Eastern Europe.
There were many blond and blue-haired, long-legged female fans holding slogans showing their love to Xu Qi.
I don't know if they belong to Russia or Ukrainian.
Actually, it looks similar, but in short, it makes men all over the world envious...
The Chinese team has been the warm-up match of France for the World Cup many times, but now, the Chinese team has finally stopped fighting with France in the form of a warm-up match. This time, we will fight to the death on the World Cup stage with real swords and guns!
In the player channel, Xu Qi hugged his old teammate Sarnia.
There is also his former teammate Martial, but Martial appears on the bench this time.
Many people in the French national team are very familiar with Xu Qi.
Because there are too many players playing in the Premier League, and even if they don’t play in the Premier League, they are also playing for big clubs like Real Madrid and Barcelona, and there are quite a lot of opportunities to play with Xu Qi.
Check out their starter.
Goalkeeper Lori plays for Tottenham Hotspur club in the Premier League and has faced Xu Qi many times.
Right back Sarnia, Xu Qi's Manchester City teammate, and central defender Koscheerney, plays for Arsenal in the Premier League.
Another central defender Umtiti plays for Barcelona.
Left defender Digne also plays for Barcelona.
In midfield, Kanter plays for Chelsea in the Premier League.
Matuidi is from Paris Saint-Germain.
Pogba is the core player of Manchester United.
There is also Kingsley Komung, who is now a player of Bayern Munich.
On the front line, Griezmann and Benzema both come from Madrid, one is Atletico Madrid and the other is Real Madrid.
The French team deserves one of the most star-studded national teams in this World Cup.
As for the Chinese team, except Xu Qi and Zhang Yuning, the other players played in the Chinese Super League.
Of course, their playing football in the Chinese Super League does not mean that they are weak. After all, the Chinese Super League is quite powerful now, and they have acquired quite a lot of stars from all over the world.
Playing in the Chinese Super League, the salary is also quite high, which is also the foundation of the Chinese team.
Of course, this group of players cooperated with foreign players very well in the club and relied heavily on foreign players. When they arrived at the national team, they relied on Xu Qi even more, and in fact there was nothing inconvenient to them.
