Kazan Arena, Kuburan Bagi Tim Raksasa di Piala Dunia 2018 (Bilingual)

Piala Dunia 2018 yang berlangsung di Rusia sampai saat ini masih berlangsung dengan lancar tanpa hambatan. Pihak penyelenggara mampu memfasilitasi segala kebutuhan dan segala yang menyangkut pertandingan. Salah satunya adalah venue (stadion) tempat berlangsungnya pertandingan-pertandingan Piala Dunia. 32 tim nasional peserta Piala Dunia akan bertanding di 12 stadion berbeda yang ditentukan oleh pihak penyelenggara. Semua venue tersebut telah disiapkan jauh-jauh hari sebelum perhelatan akbar tersebut, bahkan ada beberapa stadion yang dibangun khusus untuk Piala Dunia.

Dari 12 stadion yang digunakan, Kazan Arena Stadium patut mendapat perhatian khusus. Kenapa? Bukankah semua stadion layak dan telah memenuhi standar kompetisi yang dilaksanakan badan olahraga sepakbola terbesar, FIFA. Iya, Kazan Arena, sebuah stadion yang berada diwilayah Kazan Rusia ini rampung dibangun pada tahun 2013 dan telah melangsungkan pertandingan-pertandingan Liga Utama Rusia dan juga Piala Konfederasi FIFA 2017. Stadion ini juga menjadi kandangnya FC Rubin Kazan. Stadion dengan kapasitas 45.379 tempat duduk ini menjadi momok besar bagi beberapa tim nasional unggulan. Tiga timnas raksasa harus menelan pil pahit saat bertanding di Kazan Arena di Piala Dunia dan tersingkir dari turnamen akbar lima tahuhan tersebut. Tim nasional mana saja yang kalah saat bertanding di Kazan Arena Stadium?

Berstatus juara bertahan. Jerman dipaksa pulang lebih cepat dari Rusia saat laga pamungkas fase grup melawan Korea Selatan di Stadion Kazan Arena, Kazan. Penampilan Die Mannschaft yang begitu buruk sudah terlihat saat kalah tipis 1-0 dari Meksiko matchday pertama. Asa timnas Jerman membumbung tinggi kala berhasil menang dramatis melawan Swedia. Tendangan bebas Toni Kross di injury time berhasil memberi 3 poin penting bagi Jerman setelah dipaksa bermain terbuka oleh Swedia selama 90 menit.

Kazan Arena Stadium benar-benar memberi pukulan telak bagi armada Joachim Loew, alih-alih menang demi menjaga asa lolos kebabak 16 besar. Jerman dipaksa mengakui kehebatan Korea Selatan berkat dua gol yang dicetak Young-Gwon Kim dan Heung-Min Son saat babak kedua memasuki menit injury time. Mereka bukan hanya tersingkir, Jerman pun harus puas menghuni posisi juru kunci Grup F. Sebuah kenyataan yang harus diterima, karena sebelumnya Jerman tidak pernah tersingkir di fase grup.

Nasib Lionel Messi dkk sedikit lebih baik, meski sempat tertatih karena ditahan imbang Islandia dan kemudian kalah telak dari Kroasia. Laga melawan Nigeria pun menjadi laga penentu alias laga hidup mati. Mereka wajib menang jika ingin lolos ke babak selanjutnya. Yang dinanti publik Argentina pun terjadi, Lionel Messi berhasil membuat Argentina unggul berkat golnya dimenit-menit awal, sekaligus membuka peluang mereka untuk lolos. Pinalti John Obi Mikel tidak memberi pengaruh apapun karena Marcos Rojo mampu membalikkan keadaan dan membawa Argentina lolos.

Lagi, Kazan Arena menjadi kuburan bagi tim raksasa. Laga babak 16 besar melawan Perancis pun ibarat dua sisi mata uang, magis Lionel Messi tak terlihat setelah Jorge Sampaoli memplot Messi sebagai penyerang, bukan posisi ideal Messi yang biasanya bermain sebagai gelandang serang bersifat free rule atau false nine. Sempat berbalik unggul berkat gol Angel Di Maria dan Gabriel Mercado, Argentina lantas dibuat hancur-hancuran oleh Perancis melalui Kylian Mbappe yang pada laga tersebut mencetak 2 gol dengan penampilan yang luar biasa. Akhirnya, Perancis pun berhasil melaju ke babak selanjutnya setelah menang dengan skor ketat 4-3.

Membicarakan Brazil, tentu publik akan langsung teringat Neymar. Pemain bintang yang bermain di klub Perancis, PSG tersebut adalah satu dari sekian banyak pemain bintang yang dinanti penampilannya di Piala Dunia 2018. Bukan hanya masyarakat Brazil, penduduk Rusia selaku tuan rumah sekalipun tentu terhipnotis dengan kebintangan Neymar. Kenyataan yang terjadi ternyata jauh dari ekspektasi publik, di matchday pertama melawan Swiss, Neymar lebih banyak terjatuh dan terguling ketimbang memperagakan gaya khas Samba milik Brazil. Terbukti, dilaga tersebut Brazil hanya mampu bermain imbang melawan Swiss.

Baru pada laga kedua melawan Kosta Rika, Neymar berhasil mencetak gol mudah hasil reborn penjaga gawang Kosta Rika, Keylor Navas. Menang melawan tim nasional yang secara kualitas bak langit dan bumi itu pun memberi pekerjaan rumah bagi pelatih Tite agar dilaga selanjutnya mampu meraih hasil dan permainan yang lebih atraktif. Meski secara persaingan di grup E tidak lah sesengit grup lain, Serbia menjadi ujian terakhir Countiho cs di matchday ketiga dan mereka berhasil menang berkat gol Paulinho dan Thiago Silva. Neymar lagi-lagi belum menunjukkan penampilan yang selama ini diperagakannnya saat bermain bagi Barcelona dan PSG.

Lolos dari hadangan Meksiko dibabak 16 besar, Brazil bertemu lawan tangguh dengan komposisi pemain yang komplit, Belgia. Kazan Arena benar-benar tidak ramah terhadap tim raksasa, Brazil dipaksa pulang dari Rusia dengan kekalahan tipis 1-2 melawan Belgia. Sejarah baru pun tercipta, Belgia untuk pertama kalinya berhasil melaju ke semifinal Piala Dunia dan itu didapat dengan mengalahkan Brazil selaku timnas raksasa dengan segudang prestasi. Neymar pun menangis bersama jutaan masyarakat Brazil lainnya.
