v4 Chapter 7: Waited 4 years for the game

The Cossacks, like Americans and Australians, are not a nation, but a group.

Hundreds of years ago, some serfs and poor people who did not want to be ruled by the Qincha Khanate of Mongolia fled to the Don and Dnieper rivers and began a free nomadic life. After the dark rule of the tsar, more people came here. These nomads who lived by water and grass were the earliest Cossacks.

The word Cossack (Kozacy, Cossacks) is derived from the Turkic language, meaning "free man" or "brave man".

Three hundred years ago, the Cossacks established a gathering point near the mouth of the Don River near the Sea of ​​Azov. Three hundred years later, it was called the ‘Capital of the South of Russia’ and it was also the tenth largest city in Russia-Rostov.

In fact, Rostov is just an abbreviation for the city. Just as Frankfurt am Main is simplified, Rostov is called Rostov-on-Don (Rostov-on-Don).

The Sea of ​​Azov is not the smallest sea in the world, but it is the shallowest, and the deepest place is no more than 14 meters. It is connected to the Black Sea through the Kerch Strait.

The Caspian Sea is the size of ten Azov Seas, but it can only be a lake. The northeast corner of the Sea of ​​Azov is Rostov, the mouth of the Don River.

Sholokhov is a Cossack who was born in Rostov, and his "Quiet Don River" is also about the life of the Cossacks. There are also Chekov, who is known as the three short filmmakers along with Maupassant and O. Henry, and Solzhenitsyn, who is known as the "Conscience of Russia", both of whom were born in Rostov.

It is said that Solzhenitsyn likes to eat crayfish very much, the kind in our night market. Crayfish is a specialty of the Don River. It used to be flooded, but since it was discovered by the Chinese, you know.

Zhuo Yang and the Chinese team came to Rostov-on-Don, of course not to eat crayfish. The cooking skills of the chefs here are full of Cossack's roughness. Came here to find revenge for the Brazilian team.

Rostov is four hundred kilometers north of Sochi. This distance can be regarded as living next to each other on the vast territory of Russia, and flying is a matter of taking off and landing.

The Chinese team arrived in Rostov one day before Brazil, but there were still many Brazilian media blocked at the airport to greet them.

In fact, the topic of ‘revenge’ was first provoked by the Brazilian media. Of course, Zhuo Yang wanted to find the 0:8 place four years ago, but he did not put the topic of ‘revenge’ on his lips.

Once four years have passed, both love and hatred can fade with the passage of time. To say that breaking the sky is just a victory or defeat on the football field is not considered a hatred of the country.

Secondly, the strength of Brazil lies there. The competition will always be the top favorite. On strength, the Chinese team must be in a weak position. ‘Vengeance’ is a double-edged sword, always talking about it, doesn’t it mean that new hatred and old hatred are added to the old hate if you don’t win again?

Besides, before the schedule came out, I didn't know if the two teams might encounter each other. If they shouted ‘revenge’ all day, it would be like bluffing.

After coming out of the group stage, Zhuo Yang and his teammates knew that winning Portugal would face the winners of Brazil and Mexico, but this time it is impossible to look so far. The first task is to serve Portugal wholeheartedly. As for Brazil, they have to pass the Mexico level first.

In the past four years, especially after regaining his new life, he went to Manchester City. Zhuo Yang did not mention ‘revenge’ again, he just kept it in his heart, waiting for the landscape to meet.

But the media has never been too big of a problem. The Brazilian media reclaimed the old saying before the match against Mexico and turned over the old accounts of four years ago.

In the group stage, Brazil opened the door and drew 1:1 with Switzerland, and then beat Costa Rica and Serbia 2-0 to qualify for the first place in the group.

The elimination of Mexico in the round of 16 was also 2:0. Although it was not as enjoyable as the Chinese team's winning streak all the way, but showing a steady state gradually, this is the most correct position for the winning team.

There are only eight teams left in the World Cup. Germany, Argentina, and Portugal have something to burn. England's penalty shootout defeated Columbia, where Ronaldo was missing due to injury. It is worth mentioning that Kane scored a penalty in the second half and raised the number of goals to 6.

In the warm-up match with the Chinese team, the central defender Jerry Mina, who came on the bench in the second half, was the'Minardo' who had already been bought by Barcelona in the winter window. He scored a header in the 90th+3rd game and gave more Gave Colombia an opportunity.

Colombia, the only one who defeated the Chinese team during the entire warm-up period, also returned home. After all, Pekerman, the coach, failed to raise a Dogo dog called ‘Russia’.

The 24-year-old Mina didn't get a chance in Barcelona in the past six months. I heard that Everton was a bit interesting to him. If this is the case, he will become Jiang Guangtai's competitor in the new season, because Everton decided to take back the young Jiang who was loaned to Preston in the British championship.

The low-key Sweden defeated Switzerland 1-0, and Ibrahimovic, who was on vacation in the United States, expressed his congratulations.

There are so many penalty shoot-outs. Croatia drew 1:1 with Uruguay, which had not conceded a goal before, and won 4:3 in the penalty shootout.

Knowing the shame and being brave, France defeated Spain 4:2 in a strong dialogue. Scar, Paval and Mbappe's double ring, Xiaobai and Shuiye's goals only asked for peace of mind.

Japan played at a high level. Haraguchi and Ganguishi's goals allowed them to lead Belgium 2:0 in the first 60 minutes. In these 60 minutes, the Japanese team's technical and tactical level is impressive, and its performance is no less than that of any football powers today.

It's just that the Japanese have flaws. Belgium saw that the conventional warfare could not be done, and then enlarged the move. In the 65th minute, Marshal Martyr replaced Fellaini.

It's just to hang, it's to bully the little Japanese who is low and is not good at headers. The simple and rude aerial work and the minimalist physical confrontation are overwhelming the Japanese.

Thunder and rain are all the graces. Vertonghen and Fellaini each had a header, 90+4, playing for West Brom midfielder Nasser Chadley. 2:3, to be honest, Japan's loss makes the Chinese feel a pity.

Brazil, China, Russia, England, Belgium, Sweden, France, Croatia, six branches in Europe, one US and one Asia, the World Cup eight immortals cross the sea.

"I'm a reporter from the Sao Paulo newspaper. Mr. Zhuo Yang, the UU reading www.uukanshu.com, will the match against Brazil be your revenge?"

I no longer talked about ‘revenge’ before, because the structure was big enough, but now I’m being chased to the door to ask, I can’t deny it anymore. Denial is a confession.

"Why not?"

"Then you are confident that you will succeed in revenge?"

"Brazil is a strong team, but with all due respect, it's not as strong as me." Zhuo Yang said: "Brazil can lose to Germany, Paraguay and Peru (Copa America), why can't it lose to China? So, We have to be logical when discussing issues, right?"

reporter:"…"

"Furthermore, Mr. Reporter, you can publish my words in the newspaper as they are, so that everyone in the Brazilian football circle, including my respected predecessors and my friends, can see them."

"I waited for this game for four years."
