Chapter 1203
The World Cup is a process of overturning and defending the order. In the 02 Korea-Japan World Cup, dark horses ran rampant, and strong teams fell one after another. The World Cup has changed beyond recognition since the quarterfinals. In the 06 World Cup in Germany, the order of football returned. The strong teams were calm and everything was safe; In the 10 World Cup in South Africa, the football order was subverted again, but this time it was not a dark horse, but the restoration of the traditional declining nobles. In the semi-finals, the World Cup has gone through a process from subversion to defense and then to subversion.

The World Cup returned to Brazil, the kingdom of free football. In the wild atmosphere of South America, the order and rationality of Europeans no longer existed, and football was subverted again.

In addition to Brazil's bloodbath in South Korea as the host and five-star champion on the first day, the French team, the 98 World Cup champion, only narrowly escaped 1-0 against South Africa.And then the 66 World Cup champion England was tied 1:1 by Côte d'Ivoire, Mexico, a frequent visitor to the quarterfinals, was defeated 1:0 by Greece, the two-time World Cup champion Argentina was proudly tied by the African eagle Nigeria at the last moment, and the three-time World Cup winner Germany team Technological reform is not enough, and duck eggs are eaten in front of the iron barrels of the Swedes.In Group D, which is known as the group of death, the US team and the Chilean team, which are slightly less powerful, played aggressively at home, overturning the two European teams Portugal and Croatia to the ground.

The first round of the group stage hadn't ended yet, and the media couldn't even understand it. They didn't know how the wealthy team suddenly became incapable of playing football after they came to South America.However, in the face of the cold wind blowing the World Cup, the media has two completely different opinions.One group thinks that a World Cup without upsets is nothing to watch, a World Cup without dark horses is boring, and a World Cup without newcomers is nothing to write home about. Watching the World Cup is not to watch those teams win the championship repeatedly.The other faction believes that although the unpopularity is exciting, the advancement of the strong team is in line with the aesthetics and appreciation of more people.I believe that more fans hope that the strong teams can join forces as much as possible, and then fight against each other.At such a "feast of giants" like the World Cup, only masters can sweep the eyeballs and leave lasting memories. Greek myths like the European Cup can at most arouse amazement in a short period of time. "On a par.

No matter how the reporters make irresponsible remarks about the game, the World Cup is still advancing according to its own rules. On the sixth day of the World Cup, Spain, which had already prepared itself, still failed to break through the Paraguayan iron barrel formation, and was finally attacked by Paraguay. , lost 0:1.

The Paraguayans in the Americas are like a giant Antai stepping on the ground, showing their bravery. Although Spain takes the initiative and besieges Paraguay, in fact Paraguay has more chances to score goals. To be precise, Spain should not be unconvinced when it loses, although They are stronger, but judging from this game, they shouldn't have won. After all, a football game is not a comparison of strength on paper, but a real performance of strength on the field.

According to the forecast of the media, the situation in Group F should be that Spain is thriving. Paraguay, China, and Turkey compete for another place to qualify. However, Paraguay beat Spain in an upset, making the situation in this group suddenly chaotic.

In the meeting room of the Massoud Hotel, Li Huan turned off the sound of the live TV broadcast with a serious expression. Two hours later, the match between the Chinese team and Turkey will be played. Spain's loss forced the Chinese team to adjust their tactical arrangements.

In a tournament system like the World Cup, unless you are as strong as Brazil, you can completely ignore any tactics, gods block and kill gods, magic block and kill demons, otherwise flexible tactical arrangements will determine a team to a large extent fate.

In the 06 World Cup, Argentina's situation was very good. They could have chosen second place in the group to avoid the host Germany, but they chose to fight against the German team. In the end, they lost and were eliminated.Back then, the Germans played tactical deception in the group stage in Bern, Switzerland, and lost to the mighty Hungary by a big score, and finally defeated Hungary in the final to win the championship.Football is a war in peacetime, flexible tactics can completely defeat the strong with the weak, of course, the premise is not too weak.

Because the Chinese team met Spain in the last round, the original tactical arrangement of the Chinese team was: avoid Spain, preserve their strength, remain unbeaten against Paraguay, and then fight off Turkey. Assuming that Spain wins the first two games, then the Chinese team will have 4 points. It is expected to qualify. If Spain qualify early, the Chinese team may even hope to get points from Spain in the final round, so that five points will ensure qualifying.

In fact, this is very close to the goal of the Chinese team in the 02 Korea-Japan World Cup, but the difference is that the Chinese team at that time was a fantasy without any basis in reality, while the current Chinese team has the magical Li Huan.

But now with Spain's defeat, the situation in Group F has been disrupted. Spain will definitely fight the Chinese team in the final round. The Chinese team's goal of qualifying with 4 or 5 points has no basis for realization.Because both Paraguay and Spain may qualify with two wins and six points.

Assistant coach Chu Fu held the teacup tightly, his face sinking like water, and said: "Spain lost."

This is a declarative sentence, but it contains disappointment, helplessness and doubts. Everyone present, including the players, can understand what he means. Spain lost, what should we do?Do we still have hope of qualifying?
"The sky is not falling." Li Huan sneered.

"Yeah, principal...ah no, with the coach here, the sky will never fall." Yu Tong shouted loudly. He worshiped Li Huan blindly, thinking that as long as Li Huan was around, there would be no flaming mountains that he couldn't get past. .

"That's right, if we win against Turkey and then Paraguay, we will definitely qualify." Xu Yang shouted.

"Shut up! You don't have the right to speak here, listen to the coach." Chu Fu scolded.

Facing the electronic tactical screen, Li Huan pondered for a long while before saying in an unquestionable tone: "The situation is completely different from what we thought. No one knows what will happen in the future. The previous groups have become chaotic. Now we can only try our best to win and try to fish in troubled waters."

Speaking of this, Li Huan showed his habitual smile again, "It's good to fish in troubled waters, maybe we will make it to the top eight."

Chu Fu and the members of the Chinese and German coaching staff couldn't help but wry smiles. Even qualifying for the group has become extremely dangerous, and Li Huan is still thinking about the quarterfinals.

While everyone was discussing the game against Turkey, suddenly a staff member of the national team hurried in and said to Li Huan in surprise and joy: "Coach Li, the chairman is here to visit us."

Li Huan heard that Yao Xiangyang said that Brother Yi was going to watch their game, but he didn't expect Brother Yi to visit them in the hotel before the game.Li Huan was taken aback immediately. Before he could reflect on himself, brother one walked into the conference room accompanied by seven or eight guards.

The first brother held Li Huan's hand and said: "I often watch you play football on TV. I am your fan. I am very happy to watch you play football on behalf of our country now. Play hard. I believe you will bring the Chinese to the world." The team works miracles."

Li Huan was a little unnatural by Brother Yi's sudden attack. He scratched his head, quickly regained his composure, and said, "Thank you, Chairman, for your concern. I will work hard."

Brother Yi smiled and continued: "I don't know much about football, but I also know that not every game can be won. The key is to take it seriously once you play, don't think about anything, as long as you put in your best effort is enough .”

"The chairman said that what is rare is a normal heart, but if you come to see us now, our normal heart must be gone, and the game is definitely played with passion." Li Huan looked at the excited faces of the players. I couldn't help but said.

Brother Yi was taken aback. He had never heard of such words, and he couldn't even figure out whether Li Huan was blaming him for coming to visit the players.

It was Chu Fu who reacted quickly, and he immediately said with a smile: "Yes, football is a sport of passion. Our ability to play so well in the previous qualifiers means that passion has come up."

Brother Yi nodded happily, "Yes, normality is important, passion is even more important, play hard, and I will celebrate your achievements after returning home."

Then Brother Yi shook hands with each coach and player one by one, talked with them cordially, and told them that he would be watching the Chinese team's game on the spot. Brother Yi stayed in the hotel for about 10 minutes before leaving with the guards.

At the same time, at the Homeland Hotel, the Turkish team is also making emergency tactical arrangements before the match. Spain's unexpected defeat also disrupted Turkey's plan. They also have to fight the Chinese team with all their strength to qualify.

The head coach of Turkey is Guus Hiddink, who is known as a magical coach. He once led Eindhoven to win the triple crown, led South Korea to the top four of the World Cup, led Australia to the top 16, and led Russia to the top four of the European Championship. In the World Cup in Brazil, Hiddink has a magical team like Turkey under him, so he naturally wants to be brilliant again.

"Spain lost. This may also be an opportunity for us. Since Paraguay can beat Spain, so can we. As long as we play our own characteristics and courage, it is not impossible to beat Spain's technical flow. Of course, our current The goal is the Chinese team. Don't be intimidated by the results of the Chinese team's qualifiers. I have coached in South Korea. I understand what the Chinese are like. They are disorganized, lack courage at critical moments, and their leaders are even more stupid. Just put pressure on them. Give it to them, they will collapse themselves." Hiddink encouraged his players.

Turan, who was with Li Huan at Atletico Madrid, frowned and said, "Coach, Li Huan can't be underestimated."

Hiddink said solemnly: "Of course Li Huan should not be underestimated. He is well-deserved No. 1, but he alone cannot support the Chinese team. Believe me, if we put pressure on them with the spirit of a soldier, we will definitely win the game."
