Chapter 90 China vs Belgium

Dong Fangzhuo is concerned about the result of this game, and so are all Chinese fans. At the last World Cup, Chinese fans had already maxed out the ratings, and this time it’s even worse.

In the previous Sino-French war, the total number of people watching the game through live TV in China reached a peak of 500 million, and the viewing share was as high as 76%. Both data set new highs this year.

According to data provided by CCTV, during the game, the average number of viewers reached 450 million, with a peak number of 500 million, and a viewership share of 76%. These have set new highs in the ratings of all TV programs in China this year.

Viewership share and ratings are different concepts. The former refers to the ratio of the number of viewers watching a certain program in a certain area to the total number of people watching TV, while the latter refers to the target of watching a certain TV program during a certain period of time. The number of viewers as a proportion of the total target population. This also means that during the World Cup knockout match, 76% of Chinese TV viewers were watching the live broadcast. This is indeed a very amazing statistic.

After China's 1:0 match, Belgium defeated Brazil 2:1. Almost 400 million Chinese TV viewers watched the live broadcast, with a viewership share of 48.2%. It is worth noting that these data do not include the tens of millions of viewers watching live World Cup broadcasts in bars, restaurants, squares and other public places.

Data shows that the most watched program in Chinese history was also created by the World Cup: in the 2014 Brazil World Cup final, China defeated Germany to win the World Cup. A total of 600 million people watched the live TV game. It is currently the most watched program in Chinese history. The program with the highest viewership; the second highest rating was the third place in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. The third place was the one where the Chinese team was eliminated in the 2006 World Cup.

At 2:00 a.m. on Wednesday, July 11th, Beijing time, the first semi-final of the World Cup in Russia will be held, when the Chinese team will face the "European Red Devil" Belgium at the St. Petersburg Stadium. The kick-off time of this game is 7:00 pm China time, which is undoubtedly a prime time. Therefore, it now seems that the number of viewers and viewership share of the Chinese team in the World Cup semi-finals should be able to hit a new high this year. If the Chinese team can reach the championship and runner-up finals to be held on July 15, then China's historical records of TV viewership and viewership share are likely to be rewritten.

After all, Neymar disappointed the whole of Brazil. Neymar, who was appointed as the most likely successor to Dong Fangzhuo, Messi and Ronaldo, had the best result in leading the team to the semi-finals in 2014, but lost to Germany 1:7. , creating Brazil’s worst World Cup history.

"Belgium,"

"What about the other half if I don't know?"

When he found out that his opponent was Belgium, Dong Fangzhuo had no worries in his heart. I'm worried about Ronaldo's side.

Portugal, led by Cristiano Ronaldo, will play Sweden in the quarter-finals after defeating Russia. The other opponent is England vs. Colombia. The opponents in the lower half don't look very strong, compared to the miserable first half.

The most perfect result is naturally that China and Portugal both advance to the semi-finals and then meet in the finals.

Dong Fangzhuo has now led the team to the semi-finals. Of course he wants Ronaldo to do the same.

He took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Ronaldo.

"Hey, brother, don't miss the date early."

Soon, Ronaldo responded to the message.

"Don't worry, it's absolutely impossible. Even if Ibrahimovic comes up, it will be useless!" Ronaldo was very confident. Sweden, which had the strongest Ibrahimovic back then, was defeated by him, not to mention that the Swedish Ibrahimovic has become so mature now.

Of course, only a few Ronaldo people dare to be so arrogant. Most people would not dare to say this. Although Ibrahimovic is older, he is still killing everyone in the American Major League, and he seems to have the ambition to become a big player. Trending for the best players in league history.

The old Ibrahimovic,

In fact, he is also one of the best centers in the world. He just can't compare with those three guys, but it's not much different.

"Don't say that, let's talk about promotion. England won't be terrible until you pass Sweden."

"Ha, England is not scary..." The two people laughed at England at the same time.

Is England really as bad as they say? Aren’t they also playing in the quarter-finals now?

Although the match between China and France has become history, the hot news has just begun. Pogba, Umtiti and Dembélé are described as the heroes of the Chinese team, and Messi is also mentioned. Spain is mainly not because of the World Cup, but the previous America's Cup. He once missed a penalty kick in the Copa America final, which made Chile successful. Many fans called him the Chilean football king.

French "L'Equipe" ridiculed that they got Messi's true biography. Umtiti learned bad things from Messi in Barcelona, ​​and then passed it on to Dembele and Pogba. They learned to provide assists to their opponents...

Spain's "Marca" also stepped in - Real Madrid really wants to buy Pogba? Look at his performance. How does he look like a world-class player? What we should buy is Mbappe! However, the performances of Umtiti and Dembélé are in line with Barcelona’s standards...

Another newspaper, "AS", is also taking a dig at Barcelona - a nightmare disaster. Two Barcelona players jointly contributed everything. Umtiti assisted the Chinese director with a handball, and Dembele took the initiative to request to be dismissed. The two of them really Is it suitable to stay in Barcelona? Maybe he will give his opponent another divine assist in the future. So much so that Chinese Dong sarcastically said after the game that this was the first game in which the Chinese team did not score a goal. What he meant was - penalty kicks do not count as goals!

The Chinese media is basically taking a dig at these three players as well. Anyway, I don’t have a good impression of the three of them.

Everyone knows about Pogba. Dembele did not have a good impression when he was in Dortmund, so naturally no fans like them.

As for Umtiti, it was purely due to poor performance. In addition to this quarter-final, Umtiti's performance was also terrible. He conceded at least three goals because of him. Fans who like to play spinach don't even recognize their mothers because of his loss...

The same is true for this quarter-final.

They are also not popular at home. Although Deschamps tried his best to defend them after the game, French fans did not forgive them.

"Compared to Zidane and his generation, they are a piece of shit!"

"This is the worst national team ever."

"Is there hope in four years? I don't know if it will work in two years. Then it will be another European Cup, and Portugal will be even stronger!"
