Chapter 931 How Scary, a Wizard Group
"Awesome, Dong Fangzhuo's words caused a huge earthquake in the international football world."
"But in this case, will FIFA target the Chinese team? I'm so worried..."
"What are you targeting? Blatter and the others are in a state of distress now. Reporters are surrounding them every day. Blatter also used the excuse of dealing with business matters and didn't even care about the World Cup. He ran back to Nyon, Switzerland and hid. This is really a big joke.”
"UEFA President Platini has been silent and silent. After all, the fire hasn't really burned his butt yet, but this guy also ran away..."
"It is now the FIFA secretary-general's job to host the World Cup in South Africa."

Amid the controversy, the Chinese team is about to face Ghana in the quarter-finals. The other three quarter-finals are Spain vs. Paraguay, Germany vs. Uruguay, and Netherlands vs. Brazil.
In recent days, Krauchen has been asking players to strengthen their physical reserves.
The characteristics of Ghana's team are very obvious.
Young, the team with the youngest average age in the World Cup is one and a half years younger than China. This is scary. Being young has too many advantages, including being able to fight better and run better.
With natural physical advantages, Africans have better physical fitness than people from other continents. They have always strived to enter the top four teams in the world, and no one will slack off.
These two points are the most prominent. As for technical and tactical play? The Chinese team is not afraid. The Ghanaian team's technical and tactical execution capabilities are definitely not as strong as the Chinese team's.
In fact, Ghana originally had a world-class defensive midfielder, Essien. Unfortunately, this guy was injured before the World Cup, and he was injured at Chelsea. Ghana's number one star unfortunately missed the World Cup.
Although he could not appear on the field, Essien watched all the Ghana team's games from the stands. On the day of the quarter-finals, a reporter from Tencent specifically found Essien and interviewed him.
When talking about the Chinese team, Essien's eyes lit up, and he immediately called out Dong Fangzhuo's name: "The Chinese team is very strong, especially Dong. You China are so lucky to have a world-class forward like Dong. In my opinion, Dong is actually the best striker and the goal cannot be solved without him, but I hope he can be lost this afternoon."
Essien grinned and then recalled his confrontation with Dong Fangzhuo in the Premier League. "I fought against him for two years in the Premier League. Every time we played against Manchester United, Mr. Mourinho pulled me." Say, hey, your task today is not to let Dong take the ball to face the defender and goalkeeper. You have to stick to him like glue. I nodded seriously every time, but every time I felt ashamed because I Failing to protect Gallas, Terry and Cech..."
"You know, there's no way to guard against him."
"But I believe my teammates will do their best to mark him today. We need to create history and enter the Final Four. I know my teammates can do it."
Essien was very happy when he talked about the national team. Obviously he has many good friends here.
"I have spoken to Stephen Appiah, Suri Muntari and some other players on the phone and I will also send them my best wishes and wish them good luck and I will always support them."
"They will do everything they can to beat the Chinese team. I will be watching the game with some friends at the scene,
But my heart is always with them. "
"Some people won't have a chance to play against the United States, and they may not get a chance against the Chinese team, but they can still do it." Although Essien was very disappointed not to qualify for the World Cup, he admitted that he Proud of the results achieved by the national team in South Africa, "I know they can still play well without me because they have proven themselves during the African Cup of Nations. Of course, I have always wanted to be with them, Be part of history.”
Without Essien, their second star became Dong Fangzhuo's Inter Milan teammate Muntari. In fact, Muntari also had a minor injury. He did not play in the quarter-finals, but he will make a comeback in this game. Listen He said he was playing with injuries.
The relationship between Muntari and Dong Fangzhuo was average when they were at Inter Milan. Muntari was a person who did not like liveliness. When he was playing at Inter Milan, he only focused on training and games, and rarely participated in team activities.
Muntali gives people the impression that he is a simple and honest worker.
Muntari talked a lot when attending the pre-match press conference.
When Muntari talked about Dong Fangzhuo, his eyes were full of admiration: "I knew a long time ago that I would meet the Chinese team, because the Chinese team has the great Dong, and I knew that Dong would definitely meet us. This is not surprising at all. "
Muntari also admitted that he didn’t have much communication with Dong Fangzhuo, but he was very grateful to Dong Fangzhuo, “I don’t have much contact with Dong Fangzhuo, and I don’t say much on the training ground. You know, he is a world-class star and has won two Golden Balls. Award winner, sometimes when I stand in front of him, I feel a little shy. I always wonder, what should I talk to him about? In training and competition, as long as he appears next to me, I will be determined Passing the ball to him means I don’t think about anything, giving him the ball means solving the problem, and that’s what a lot of guys on our team do.”
"I'm very lucky that he didn't play as a winger. If he played as a winger, I would be embarrassed to say that I was a winger..."
"Obviously, our biggest enemy is Dong, and I've told my teammates how to mark him."
Yeah? Muntari himself didn't believe it, how could he defend Dong Fangzhuo...
This game may be the least "star-flavored" game in the quarter-finals, but it may become a far-reaching decisive battle. If Ghana wins, they will become the first African team in history to reach the World Cup semi-finals.
Ghana is now the hope of all Africa. When they defeated the United States and reached the quarterfinals of the World Cup, thousands of fans took to the streets even in Ethiopia.
Ghana's African supporters include, of course, the World Cup hosts, the South Africans. Former South African President Mandela also hosted all Ghana players at his home in Cape Town yesterday to pay tribute to their achievements in the World Cup.
And it was not just Mandela who was rushing to invite the Ghana team as a guest. The current President of South Africa, Jacob Zuma, also presented a special flag to the Ghana team, which was signed by African celebrities who support the Ghana team to continue competing in the World Cup. In addition to Zuma, the event was attended by African Football Confederation President Hayatou, South Africa coach Pereira and another former South African president Mbeki.
In addition to the concern of political dignitaries, the host country also has more substantial support for its African brothers-several provincial governments in South Africa have called on citizens to wear Ghana team uniforms in this afternoon's quarter-final match between Ghana and China. Be a "Ghana fan" in the finals.
In other words, the Chinese team will no longer have a "home court advantage" today, and the fans of the Chinese team will be suppressed by their opponents for the first time...
With the fanatical support of 1 billion people across Africa, the Ghana team will "fight hard" for an African team to reach the semi-finals of the World Cup for the first time against the Chinese team.
But this was not enough. African fans believed that a strong group of friends and relatives could not stop the Chinese team. They also invited the Wizards, and their forward Ji'an spoke about this matter without hesitation.
"We have powerful wizards who have cursed the Chinese team and the Chinese directors..."
"Our wizards will be on hand to cast spells."
I don’t know if this is psychological warfare...
In fact, taking the magician to compete in major competitions is not a unique invention of Ghana. African teams more or less like to use this trick.
For example, the host South Africa team firmly believes that they have "MUTI" to protect them. This word, which seems unintelligible to us, comes from the local indigenous language Zulu, which means witchcraft and traditional medicine for protection.
Moreover, this kind of body protection formula is not static for thousands of years, but will always be invented and innovated with the times. The most popular recipe recently is to mix various weird plants with horse hooves and ostrich legs to form an unknown object.
It is believed that this folk remedy, which is currently popular in South Africa, is formulated so that when players wear it on their knees or legs, the goalkeeper will be unable to block their kicks. From a physics perspective, this substance functions similarly to a thrust engine or even a photon accelerator...
"We don't just have one wizard, we have a wizard group, including ten wizards who will keep an eye on China Dong..."
Do whatever you can!
very scary……
Then the Ghana team announced the starting lineup. They played a 4231 formation:
Goalkeeper: Kanamori
Defenders: Panthill, Mensah, Vossa, Sarpe
Midfielder: Annan, Kevin Boateng, Inkoum, Asamoah, Muntari
Forward: Ji'an

Facing the aggressive Ghana team, Krauchen still leisurely took Dong Fangzhuo to attend the pre-match press conference.
But at the beginning, the interview was not about the game, but about Blatter.
"Dong, do you know that your words triggered an international football scandal?"
"What did I say? I didn't say anything. As a player, I will only focus on the game... Mr. Blatter told me this, and I must follow his instructions."
"..."
Then Dong Fangzhuo talked about the Ghana team. Some of them were doing their job, but Krauchen had nothing to do.
"Ghana is a very strong team. Although this team does not have many stars and is missing Michael Essien, but believe me, they are a very strong team and the players in every position are great. They Much better than the Chinese team..."
So humble? Isn’t it said that this Chinese team is the strongest Chinese team in history? Why did you show weakness in front of the Ghana team?
"Essien is a world-class defensive midfielder. Fortunately, he is not here, but Ghana still has strong players like Gian, Asamoah, Hyypia, Muntari, and Ayew. Their midfield and frontcourt are too strong. "
Dong Fangzhuo is a veteran and naturally knows the Ghana team very well. The guys he mentioned are all powerful players, and any one of them is the main force in the five major European leagues.
"I heard that the Ghana team has prepared a wizard to deal with you. Are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid, wizards can't get on the stage."
"Wizards don't matter. We have so many gods in China, and just a few of them can scare the wizards in South Africa to death..."
