1. The atmosphere did not disappoint
1. 比赛脑怒莫得令东说念主失望
The atmosphere beforehand was extraordinary, even by the standards of Brazil’s fun-loving fans. Those famous yellow shirts masked the many imperfections in this half-finished stadium to provide spine-tingling support for the hosts. But the noise levels went stratospheric whenever Brazil scored. It was incredible, even for a World Cup, to hear a crowd react with quite so much fervour. Looking beyond the stands you could see fireworks exploding right across the city. This tournament badly needs a successful Selecao to maintain momentum and keep the locals engaged. If that success is attained, the ripples spread wide.
即使以爱滋扰的巴西球迷顺次判断,本场赛前氛围也很是狂热。盛名的桑巴黄衫军球迷为半制品畅通场遮掩掉了诸多裂缝,称心饱读动,全力撑捏专揽国巴西队。当巴西东说念主进球时, 球迷的呼吁到了极致。
关于宇宙杯来说,能听到这样一群东说念主有这样激烈的存眷和响应,这是难以置信的。看一下看台,你可以看到统统城市烟花满天。这场比赛相配需要桑巴军团,保捏着细腻的发展势头,让当地东说念主大一饱眼福。要是这次获得告成,赢球的势头将保捏下去,为接下来的比赛成立信心。
2. Can Brazil prevail with this defence?
2.靠这样的留意,巴西能告成吗?
It is a legitimate question when Dani Alves was left stranded upfield as Ivica Olic raced down the left to create Croatia’s goal; when David Luiz failed to get close enough to Nikica Jelavic on the resulting cross, and when Thiago Silva is effectively the only true defender in that vulnerable back four. It is something for Luiz Felipe Scolari to think about before facing Mexico. With Dante in reserve, might he think about a change? Or will he persist with a unit that must give him palpitations? So can Brazil win the World Cup with this rearguard? Yes, they probably can. But the ride might be bumpy, a little nerve-racking.
这是一个大家都会问的问题。当阿尔维斯被舍弃在前场算作,奥利奇左路带球传中,马塞洛乌龙,克罗地亚首开记载。
当大卫·路易斯无法接近耶拉维奇,当蒂亚戈·席尔瓦成为这脆弱的四个后卫中独逐一个信得过的后卫,这是斯科拉里不才一时局对墨西哥前,需要好好谈判的。这场比赛丹特作念了替补,下一场斯科拉里可能会在计谋调遣上作念出点窜改。
无意,他将会坚捏我方的思法,直到比赛让他心过剩悸?是以,巴西能够凭借如斯后防赢得这次宇宙杯冠军吗?可能会吧, 但说念路可能会有点陡立,有点让东说念主伤脑筋。
3. Croatia’s central midfield isn’t half bad
3. 克罗地亚中前锋也不差
Nico Kovac picked a very attacking line-up, but not so surprising was the Croatia manager’s decision to build his midfield around Luka Modric and Ivan Rakitic, two players capable of matching or even bettering Brazil’s engine room. Their ability and effort provided a platform that should reap rewards. Neither Mexico nor Cameroon will enjoy facing them, especially when Mario Mandzukic returns from suspension. Modric and Rakitic will remain the heartbeat.
科瓦奇挑选一套相配苍劲的波折威望,克罗地亚主讲授决定以莫德里奇和伊万·拉基蒂奇为中枢中场,少量也不让东说念主觉状况外。因为这两名球员的有才气胜任,致使比巴西的中场更胜一筹。他们的先天才气和后天竭力告诉咱们他们应该在本场比赛中获取得报。墨西哥和喀麦隆都不思在小组赛遭遇他们,极端是当曼朱基皆追忆之后,莫德里奇和伊万·拉基蒂奇仍将是让球迷心跳罢手的球员。
4. The ball did well
4.比赛用球可以
南非宇宙杯上的足球“鼓掌叫好”引来诸多争议,本次宇宙杯不会使用有问题的足球。2014年巴西宇宙杯官方比赛用球 “桑巴荣耀”在野心上有所不同, 首创性的球面结构时间,给东说念主的嗅觉近乎一个篮球。这一思法省略是思为比赛带来更好的场上控球、触球、镇定性。咱们在圣保罗看到的情况似乎中规中矩。改日巴西东说念主的举措还有待不雅察,最弥留的是,大无数球员似乎很信服这个球。
5. Entertainment ahead?
5.文娱算作未受影响
Too often in recent years the World Cup has suffered from caution and fear, leading to some tortuous stalemates that do no one any good. It may be a bit early to be predicting a turnaround, but there was enough on show last night to bring hopes of a tournament rich with adventure and goals.
连年来时常听到宇宙杯举办国受到了申饬和欺诈,给央求举办进程和筹画进程带来了不毛。早些时候,有东说念主推断,情况会有所好转,然则昨晚的弘扬充足地展示了摄人心魄的进球给这次杯赛带来了但愿。
Brazil’s entertainers played their part in Sao Paulo to show that a positive attitude is the right way to go. So it’s over to the rest, to Messi and Ronaldo, to Hazard and Silva to continue this theme over the next few weeks. If they can, we will be talking about one of the best World Cups in recent times.
巴西圣保罗的艺东说念主进行了扮演,出了他们一份力,他们思讲解,宇宙杯是以积极的魄力朝着正确的方上前进的。是以在休息时刻,关于梅西和罗纳尔多,关于阿扎尔和席尔瓦这些大牌来说,他们将在在接下来的几周内,不时这个主题。要是他们能作念到,咱们将辩驳这是连年来最佳的一届宇宙杯。
