I am Kaka

Chapter 100 Bad Beginning

At 5:10 p.m. on May 26, the Brazilian team arrived at Ulsan Gimhae Airport on a flight of All Century Airlines. After avoiding the crazy Korean fans, they took a special bus to leave the VIP channel and stayed at the Hyundai Hotel in Ulsan.

In the evening, the Ulsan city government held a lively welcome party for the Samba Corps. The mayor of Ulsan and Scolari took turns delivering speeches. After the two had a business talk, the Brazilian team presented the mayor with a Brazilian Team's yellow jersey.

From the beginning of the 27th to the start of the game, the Brazilian team was training at the Maple Stadium near the hotel. During the period, apart from serious preparations, the most were all kinds of interviews and bragging. The details are omitted. Anyway, whether it is Scolari or Ronaldo , when he was interviewed by the media, his tone was quite loud. As for Kaka, the card face was too small, and no one ignored 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 but enthusiastic opening ceremony, the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup officially began.

This is the 17th FIFA World Cup, which was held in 10 stadiums in 10 cities in South Korea and 10 stadiums in 10 cities in Japan from May 31 to June 30, 2002. It is the first time in Asia. The World Cup held is also the first World Cup jointly hosted by two countries.

Thirty-two teams from all over the world will be divided into eight groups. The four teams in the group will compete in three rounds. The top two teams in each group will qualify. After four rounds, the final winner will win the football. The world's highest honor.

In the opening match, the defending World Cup and European Cup double defending champions France faced the African lion Senegal.

The French team is the biggest favorite in this cup, and there is no suspense in this game. Although Zidane is out due to injury, the Gallic Rooster is based on the 1998 World Cup champion and the 2000 European Cup champion. The Premier League golden boot Henry. Partnering with Serie A golden boot Trezeguet, Cisse, who has not yet encountered Zheng Zhi's Ligue 1 golden boot, sat on the bench and stood by. Djorkaf, Vieira and Petit formed a new midfield triangle. With Leigh, Thuram and Butters leading the defense, this French team has the confidence to fear no opponent.

Senegal was led by French coach Bruno Mechu. All 11 players in the starting lineup played in Ligue 1. The two-time African footballer Diouf led the game. The rest of the players are also in their youthful professional stages.

The game started with the anticipation of 62,561 spectators and countless fans around the world.

The French team showed the momentum of the defending champion at the beginning of the game. Wiltord made a cross, Trezeguet got the ball and volleyed sideways, and the ball missed the left 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 too wide. On the contrary, Senegal used Djokaf's mistake to launch a counterattack in the 30th minute. After Diouf broke through, the bottom line knocked horizontally. Petit made a clearance and Butters blocked the ball and let go.

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's three major league golden boots were misfired, Boo Diop scored the only goal of the game, and France lost the first game of defending the title, giving this strange World Cup a strange beginning.

For the French team's defeat, the Brazilians naturally gloated over the misfortune and were happy, but they were extremely happy and sad, and soon they became the object of others gloating.

On June 2, the day before the match between Brazil and Turkey, the two teams were allowed to enter the arena for adaptive training.

The Turkish team arrived at the scheduled time, but the Brazilian team was still dawdling on the court and had no intention of leaving at all.

The Turkish players were angry and gestured to express their dissatisfaction, but the Brazilians pretended not to see and still occupied the stadium.

Just when the Turkish team's coaching staff were about to intervene with the organizers, the cup happened.

Brazil's captain Emerson didn'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 to the ground after a save...

Everyone didn't take it seriously at first, and thought it was Emerson's prank, but looking at his painful expression and listening to his mournful wailing, everyone had a bad premonition in their hearts.

The team doctor hurried into the arena and carried the person out after a brief examination.

Naturally, the Brazilian team was not in the mood to train, and left in a hurry, leaving the venue to the Turkish team members who were too happy.

The diagnosis came out soon, and Emerson's injury was quite serious, and he needed to rest in the hospital for at least 4 months before returning to the game.

Kaka, who witnessed his injury all the way on the field, was stunned.

Could this be the so-called heaven forgiving?

As the only World Championship that the Chinese team has participated in, Kaka is of course deeply impressed by this World Cup. Although many of his memories are gradually blurred, he still remembers some more special reports.

In these so-called relatively special reports, in addition to various black whistle-blowers, the most nonsense is the injury of Brazil captain Emerson.

It is said that he stepped on the glass while taking a bath and had to miss his foot injury regretfully. For this reason, he was also included in the strange list of the top few most bizarre injuries in football.

Kaka couldn't imagine the operation of stepping on the glass in the bath, and wanted to remind him vaguely that he didn't know how to speak. It was a bit strange to see Emerson jumping around. After escaping the catastrophe, he was secretly relieved for a while.

But this scene is the situation of Shenma?

So it's bullshit to say that stepping on glass or something is actually the real reason for Emerson's injury? Or stepping on the glass was a thing in 2006, and my pig's brain has been confused? Can't it? We reborns have a bad memory, God, don't fool me.

No matter how mixed feelings Kaka has in his heart, things are irreversible.

The team captain was injured mysteriously on the eve of the game, and the morale of the Brazilian team was naturally hit a lot.

Emerson is now playing for the Italian Roma team and is one of the best midfielders of this era. He is full of creativity while attacking and defending, and is a crucial part of Scolari's plan. His absence is bound to have a major impact on every aspect of the team.

Scolari urgently called Ricardinho to fill the vacancy in personnel, while the main position vacated by Emerson was competed by Kleberson, Grand Juninho and Kaka.

The most important thing at hand, of course, is to redefine the lineup for the second day against Turkey.

One is a midfielder who can attack and defend well, the other is an experienced and skilled old demon, and the other is an offensive kaleidoscope who can stray between the two penalty areas. Who to choose, Scolari said that he also has a headache.
