Chapter 100 - Bad beginning
At 5:10 pm on May 26th, the Brazilian team took the All Century Airlines flight to Ulsan Gimhae Airport. After avoiding crazy Korean fans, they departed from the VIP channel in a dedicated bus and checked into the Ulsan Modern Hotel.
In the evening, the Ulsan City Government held a lively welcome party for the Samba Corps. The Mayor of Ulsan and Scolari took turns to make speeches. After the two men had a commercial blow, the Brazilian team presented a piece of Brazil to the Mayor. Team’s yellow jersey.
From the beginning of the 27th to the beginning of the game, the Brazilian team is training at the Meipu Stadium near the hotel. During the period of careful preparation, the most interviews are various interviews and bragging, which are omitted. Anyway, whether it is Scolari or Ronaldo When I was interviewed by the media, the tone was quite big. As for Kaka, the card face was too small, and no one had him.
On May 31, 2002, the eyes of fans all over the world gathered at the World Cup Stadium in Seoul, South Korea.
After a brief and warm opening ceremony, the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup officially began.
This is the 17th World Cup football match. It was held at 10 stadiums in 10 cities in South Korea and 10 stadiums in 10 cities in Japan from May 31 to June 30, 2002. It was the first time in Asia The World Cup held is also the first World Cup jointly held by two countries.
Thirty-two teams from all over the world will be divided into eight groups. The four teams of the group will have three rounds of matchups. The first two of each group will qualify. After four rounds of competition, the final winner will win the football The highest honor in the world.
The opening game was played by the defending champions of the World Cup and the European Cup, France, against the African Lions Senegal.
The French team is the biggest hit in this cup. This game does not seem to be suspenseful. Although Zidane missed due to injury, the Gauls roosters are based on the 1998 World Cup champion and the 2000 European Cup champion. The Premier League Golden Boot Henry The partner Serie A gold boots Trezeguet, yet to face Zheng Zhi’s Ligue 1 gold boots Cisse sat on the bench, Djokov, Vieira and Petit formed a new midfielder Iron Triangle, Desai Li, Thuram and Butters led the defense, this French team has the confidence to fear no opponents.
Senegal is led by French coach Bruno Mechu. The starting 11 are all in Ligue 1, the two-time African footballer Diouf leads the game, and the rest of the players are also in a young and powerful professional stage.
The game started with the expectation of 62,561 spectators and countless fans all over the world.
The French team took the defending champion’s momentum as soon as they opened. With Vertod’s cross, Trezeguet volleyed the ball sideways and the ball missed the left goal post.
Although there was no merit, the French team was not discouraged, and continued to bombard Senegal ’s goal, but the shot was either high or partial. Instead, Senegal used Djokov ’s mistake in the 30th minute to launch a counterattack. After Diouf broke through, the bottom line knocked horizontally, Petit’s clearance resulted in Buttes blocking the ball, Bu Diop broke the goal, France 0-1 Senegal.
In the second half, the French team sent Cisse to strengthen the offensive, but no matter how hard they tried, they could not knock on the door of Senegal.
competition is over.
Henry, Trezeguet and Cissé were the golden boots of the three major leagues. Bu Diop scored the only goal in the audience. The French defending defeat in the first game gave this strange World Cup a strange beginning.
For the defeat of the French team, the Brazilians were naturally gloating and happy, but they were extremely happy, and soon they became the targets of others.
On June 2, the day before the Brazil and Turkey teams, the two teams were allowed to enter the venue for adaptive training.
The Turkish team arrived at the scheduled time, but the Brazilian team still lingered in the field and did not mean to leave at all.
Turkish players were angry and gestured to express their dissatisfaction, but the Brazilians pretended not to see it and still dominated the stadium.
Just as the Turkish team’s coaching staff members were about to find the organizer to intervene, the cup set happened.
Brazil ’s captain Emerson did n’t know what to do. A midfielder had to try what it was like to be a goalkeeper. After pushing Cheney away, he stood on the goal line and let his teammates shoot. Almost.
Then suddenly fell down after a save …
Everyone didn’t take it seriously, and thought Emerson was mischievous, but looking at his painful expression and listening to his wailing wailing, everyone felt a bad hunch.
The team doctor hurried into the field and carried out the man after a little examination.
Brazil naturally has no mood to train anymore, leaving in a hurry, leaving the venue to the Turkish team members who are not happy.
The diagnosis results came out quickly, and Emerson ’s injury was very serious. At least 4 months of rest in the hospital was required to return to the game.
Witnessed the whole scene of Kaka who was injured in the court.
Is this the so-called sky who spared it?
As the only World Championship that the Chinese team has participated in, Kaka is certainly impressed with this World Cup. Although it is very old, many memories have gradually blurred, but I still remember some special reports.
In these so-called special reports, in addition to the various black whistle of the famous level of youth history, the most nonchalant is the injury of Brazilian captain Emerson.
It is said that he had to regret being absent because he stepped on the glass while bathing ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ He suffered a foot injury. For this reason, he was also selected into the strangest list of the most bizarre injuries in football.
Kaka couldn’t imagine what it was like to step on the glass while taking a shower. He wanted to remind him implicitly that he didn’t know how to speak. It was a little strange to see Emerson live and jump. It was once thought that his own mess had changed his destiny and let him After escaping, he secretly reassured for a while.
But this scene in front of me is the situation of the **** horse?
So what you say is that you are stepping on glass. This is actually the real reason for Emerson ’s injury? Was it a matter of 2006 to step on the glass? Can’t it? Our rebirth has a bad memory, so do n’t be fooled by my God.
No matter how kaka’s heart is mixed, things are irreversible.
The captain of the team was bizarrely injured on the eve of the game, and the morale of the Brazilian team was naturally hit by a lot. After the news came back to the country, it caused an uproar.
Emerson now plays for Italy’s Roma team. It is considered to be one of the best midfielders of this era. Both offensive and defensive, but also full of creativity, is a vital part of Scolari’s plan. His absence is bound to have a major impact on every aspect of the team.
Scolari urgently summoned Ricadinho to fill the vacancy in the personnel, and Emerson ’s vacated main position was competed by Kleberson, Juninho and Kaka.
Of course, the most important thing is to reformulate the lineup against Turkey the next day.
One is a good midfielder who can attack and defend well, one is an experienced and delicate old demon, and the other is an offensive kaleidoscope that can be dissociated between the two restricted areas. Scolari said that he also has a headache.
