Chapter 54 No One Can Stop the Pace of Time, Not Even the World Champion
At 22:30 on June 14, 2018, Beijing time, the opening ceremony of the Russian World Cup was officially staged at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow. In the same stadium, the first game of this World Cup will be ushered in 30 minutes later - the match between the host Russia and Iran. The world has officially entered "World Cup time".
Unlike the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, which can often last several hours, the opening ceremony of the World Cup is usually limited to about 30 minutes, and the World Cup in Russia is no exception.
The three guests attending the opening ceremony of this World Cup were the famous British singer Robbie Williams, the Russian soprano Aida Galifrina, and the legendary Brazilian star Ronaldo.
Kari Folina and Robbie Williams are Russian young singers and world-famous pop singers respectively. Brazilian star Ronaldo is an "alien" who scored 21 goals in three World Cups.
Ronaldo said: "For the host country, the opening game is a rare moment to show off. They have to show the world a new image of the Russians. If they can also win a good start, it will be even better. I experienced it as a Brazilian four years ago. I feel this special excitement, and now I am participating in the performance of the opening ceremony of the World Cup in Russia, and I also want to share this joy with the Russians through my own experience."
Then, another star Dong Fangzhuo pushed a wheelchair out of the stadium, and in the wheelchair sat the football king Pele!
The scene immediately erupted in cheers.
"Ronaldo!"
"Dong!"
"Bailey!"
The names of the three of them resounded throughout the Luzhniki Stadium, and the Russian President walked behind them very humbly and low-key.
Today, he is not the protagonist.
Only football and these stars who have made brilliant achievements in the history of the World Cup are.
Dong Fangzhuo, Ronaldo and Pele appear here at the same time, and the meaning seems very obvious...
Everyone knows that it is extremely difficult for Pele to appear at the Luzhniki Stadium. At the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, the world champion went to Maracanã to watch the final between the German team and the Chinese team. But at the 2016 Rio Olympics, the first Olympic Games held in Brazil and even South America, Pele neither attended the opening ceremony nor the closing ceremony due to health reasons.
People will grow old after all, and no one can stop the pace of time. Even Pele, even the ball king.
Pele almost didn't come to Russia due to hip pain and couldn't move his legs, but he still managed to make it here with the help of a wheelchair.
The person pushing his wheelchair was the future world champion Dong Fangzhuo.
The cheers never stopped, and the fans at the scene could not contain their excitement at all.
Especially Chinese fans, as well as Duan Xuan and Huang Jianxiang in front of the TV. The master and apprentice left CCTV long ago and became the overlord of a certain local TV station.
"What a sacred and great moment!"
"Dong Fangzhuo pushed Pele onto the stage, and Pele held the Hercules Cup tightly in his arms. There is no more touching scene than this."
"The king of football needs to be passed down, and there is nothing more perfect than taking over the scepter from Pele. If Dong Fangzhuo can lead the Chinese team to win the World Cup, then everything will be settled."
"At 78, Pele is really old."
"Pele was born on October 23, 1940, and is now 78 years old. Since the 1958 World Cup, Pele has never missed the World Cup."
"In 1958, 1962, 1966 and 1970, Pele participated as a player and helped the football kingdom win three Jules Rimit Cups. From the 1974 World Cup onwards, either as a corporate spokesperson or as an international He always appeared in the World Cup as a guest of the Football Federation or as a television broadcast guest. In the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, the football king worked for the Brazilian Band TV station. In the 1990 and 1994 World Cups, he became the commentator of the Brazilian Globo channel."
"Thousands of sails have passed,
In world football, Pele is the only king. "
Pele took the microphone handed over by Ronaldo and began a speech. The opening remarks are also very warm and touching.
"If God allows, I want to go to the next World Cup. I once joked with (Brazil coach) Tite: 'If you continue to be the national team coach, the next World Cup will be the last World Cup I play in. .After that, don’t recruit me again.'"
"Then I ended up here."
The applause at the scene was wild again. How wonderful would it be to see the 78-year-old Pele still galloping on the court?
"In the next four years, I hope to appear in China!"
Pele still wants to go to the 2022 World Cup in China. The next World Cup was originally held in Qatar, but because former FIFA President Sepp Blatter and former UEFA President Platini were found guilty of bribery, Qatar was disqualified from hosting the World Cup, and China naturally stepped in.
"In 2022, Pele will be 82 years old, and Dong Fangzhuo will also be 37 years old. At that time...sigh..."
Huang Jianxiang sighed.
Subsequently, the World Cup officially opened, and the host Russia, despite being not favored, actually defeated Iran in Asia 5:0 at home...
Dong Fangzhuo watched the entire game and then flew back to St. Petersburg. The Chinese team's first match is against Morocco, which will start at 23:00 Beijing time tomorrow evening.
1.5 billion people are looking forward to a good start for the Chinese team.
There is no doubt that we must win against Morocco with all our strength. If we draw, we may have to say goodbye to the World Cup.
Spain will be played in the second round and Portugal will be played in the third round.
If you score three points, there will be many more options later. But when we play Spain in the second round, there are also many variables. If the results of the group stage are one win, one draw and one loss, then I really don’t know which two teams can qualify later.
Therefore, when playing against Morocco, we must not only win, but also strive to score more goals...
Krauchen has already considered the starting lineup, but he is still not sure whether Dong Fangzhuo should play forward or midfielder. After all, the Chinese team is not Manchester United, and there are many options.
In the past two years, the Chinese team has actually had a lot of outstanding players, but compared with the group in 2014, they are far behind. There are only a few who can shoulder heavy responsibilities. On the forward line, Wu Sanshi is already a great player. The best forward. Three years ago, Wu Sanshi moved to Espanyol and made great progress. This summer he may move to Atletico Madrid and become teammates with Feng Renliang.
Gao Lin has basically been marginalized in Evergrande and cannot be reused.
In the midfield, Feng Renliang, Huang Bowen, Zhao Xuri, Hao Junmin and Zhang Xizhe are still the main players.
There are not many talents on the back line, and Feng Xiaoting is still the Dinghai Shenzhen.
