Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 528 Evolution
On June [-]th, the third round of the group stage officially started. Starting today, in addition to the four teams that have been eliminated in advance, there are [-] other teams that will be eliminated one after another. Only those who can enter the next round Sixteen.

There is no hope that they will be eliminated, but this is not based on human will.

In Group A, although the defending champion France had the comeback Zidane, they still lost to the Danish team with two goals without temper. In the match against Uruguay, France barely kept a glimmer of vitality and died dull Now, although Zidane, who has not yet recovered from his injury, played hard, he still couldn't inject a little vitality into France's lifeless attack. Romedal and Thomasson scored one goal each in the second half to give Denmark a two-goal victory. France, with three unbeaten games, no goals scored, and only one point, the defending champion bid farewell to the 02 World Cup.

In another game, Uruguay showed amazing bloodiness. Although their defense full of flaws made the crazy Senegalese score three goals in just half the game, but in Recoba Under their leadership, they launched a Jedi counterattack.

Defender Morales recovered a point from Recoba's corner kick just a minute into the second half, when the Senegalese showed the instability of African teams, their luxury time and time again in the frontcourt He squandered his scoring opportunities, but the defense became vulnerable under the constant impact of the Uruguayans-Forlan used a world wave in No. 1 minutes to help Uruguay narrow the gap to one goal!
The Senegalese, who saw their lead shrinking sharply, began to panic. Although their coach Messou adjusted the lineup in time, Senegal still had to stick to the penalty area, struggling to support the crazy attack of the Uruguayans. .

Forlan's breakthrough in the No.808 minute of the game created a penalty kick, and Recoba scored the ball steadily-three to three draws!
The entire stadium is crazy, but the current situation is still favorable to the Senegalese. As long as they keep the tie until the end of the game, they can still qualify as second in the group!

The game entered the stoppage time period, and at this time Recoba became the savior again, and he scored a precise free kick into the dead corner of the goal!Four to three, the Uruguayans have completed self-salvation!
Uruguay, who won this game, are exactly the same as Senegal in terms of points, goal difference and goals. This is very similar to the situation between China and Denmark in the last World Cup, but the FIFA officials are relieved. , Uruguay defeated Senegal in the mutual match, so Uruguay became No.2 in the group and advanced to the top [-]!
This is another result that is inconsistent with history, but Pei Wei is very happy-he hopes that players like Recoba can play a few more times in the World Cup.

Group E, Germany's Miroslav Klose scored his fifth goal in three group games - a stunning rate and all five of his goals were headed , is the well-deserved king of headers - coupled with Bomei's goal, Germany qualified as the first in the group and also eliminated Cameroon, while Robbie Keane, Breen and Duff scored goals. Helped Ireland beat Saudi Arabia with three goals, and at the same time they qualified, they also locked in the No.30 second place in the World Cup in Saudi Arabia-the score of losing twelve goals in three games and scoring zero goals made Saudi Arabia the "worst team" reputation.

In Group B, Spain won three consecutive victories to advance. Paraguay defeated Slovenia relying on the goal of Gumpos and Cuevas's brace, and overwhelmed South Africa with a goal difference. Group F, the second world championship goal The team was out-Although Argentina relied on Crespo's goal to tie Sweden before the end of the game, it was still out of the game with a disadvantage of one point, and the group was eliminated. This is Argentina's worst result since it failed to participate in the World Cup in 1970 !You know, before the start of this World Cup, they were considered the most favorites to win the championship!

When the scene of the substituted Batistuta weeping on the bench appeared in front of the TV, countless fans of Argentina and Batty were saddened at that moment.

At 02:30 noon on June [-]th, the final round of Group C matches started simultaneously in Suwon and Seoul.

The Seoul World Cup Stadium, which can accommodate more than 4000 fans, is also one of the stadiums built by South Korea for the 2002 World Cup. It covers an area of ​​more than 20 square meters and looks like a sailboat. This is to communicate with the surrounding Mapo Ferry. It echoes the Whampoa sailboat.

As for the last round of the Chinese team's group match, after this game, they will all leave South Korea - if they are eliminated, of course they will go back to China directly, and according to the schedule, the games of the teams in this group after qualifying will be arranged To Japan, no matter where they go, the rest of the tournament will be held in Japan -- save for the three or four finalists.

"After this game, we will definitely leave South Korea." Before setting off to the stadium, Milu said to all the players: "Of course, I don't want to go back to China with you after this game. I hope to go to Japan and see the scenery there!"

"That's right." Pei Wei said with a smile beside him, "I don't even want to set foot on Japanese soil except to watch your games."

Everyone understands what they mean - we're going to qualify!Let's continue our World Cup journey!
"lets go!"

**************************************
"CCTV, CCTV, audience friends, today I am at the World Cup Stadium in Seoul to give you a live commentary on the third round of Group C of the 02 World Cup. The two sides are the Chinese team and the Turkish team! This game is almost decided Group No.2 belongs! The Chinese team only needs to tie their opponents to qualify for the group! The list of players from both sides has come out. The difference from the previous two games is that the formation of the Chinese team has changed from the traditional four-four-two to four-five One! Goalkeeper Jiang Hai, there is an adjustment in the defense today. Yunjiatianyu’s captain Zhu Guosheng replaced the veteran General Fan as the starting lineup! Milu’s substitution is probably to increase the height and header ability of the defense! The other three The defenders are still Sun Chenghai, Li Wei and Wu Jiying. The midfielders Li Gang and Deco play double midfielders, Nie Fei plays the midfielder, the left midfielder captain Ma Tian, ​​and the right midfielder uses Li Fang who plays for Serie A Perugia. The single striker is played by Adriano! Turkey's formation is three-five-two, goalkeeper Rustu, and three defenders are Galatasaray's Brent, Fenerbach's Umit and Aston Villa Alpay! The midfielder plays for AC Milan's Umit and plays for Inter Milan's Emre as the midfielder. The left midfielder is Hakan Yunsar from Blackburn, and the right midfielder is Inter Milan's Okan. Basturk from Leverkusen plays the attacking midfielder, and the two forwards are captain Hakan Suker and Hassan Sass, a typical combination of one high and one fast!"

"The situation of this group is now relatively clear. Except for Brazil, which has already qualified in advance, the other three teams have a chance to qualify. Among them, our Chinese team is in the best situation. We can almost get the right to qualify as long as we draw. , unless Costa Rica can beat Brazil by more than two goals! Turkey will have to beat China, and Costa Rica will not win against Brazil. Turkey can win with at most one goal! So basically the No.2 competition is between the Chinese team and Turkey, and we can ignore Costa Rica!" Huang Daxian, who had rested for five days, was full of energy--CCTV in order to ensure the The Chinese team's commentary is perfect and smooth, and he, the ace commentator, is specially asked to focus on explaining the Chinese team's games, and let other commentators be more responsible for other games. Although Huang Daxian is a little dissatisfied with this, he Still glad to accept this task - after all, the performance of the Chinese team since the start of the World Cup has given him a lot of confidence.

In the box, Mourinho frowned: "Milu sent a five-man midfielder—is he trying to compete with Turkey in the midfield? But this seems to be understandable, after all, as long as there is a tie, he can qualify. The number of midfielders can help defend, but isn't he afraid that the players will not adapt? After all, the Chinese team has never used such a formation in the warm-up match."

"Haven't used it doesn't mean you won't use it." Benitez said next to him: "With Milu's ability, he can't just let the players get used to one formation...Although they only played four warm-up games, but There are many training opportunities, and Milu's ability is not that bad."

"One more point." Wenger continued beside him: "Li Fang's running ability is very good. With him, the running ability of the Chinese midfielder will be improved! Against a ball with excellent physical fitness like Turkey Team, this is very important! Zhu Guosheng is deployed more to defend Hakan Suker. Although he did not score in the first two games, his presence can enrich Turkey to a great extent. Zhu Guosheng is the tallest defender in the Chinese team, and it is more suitable to use him to target Su Ke than General Fan."

No one doubts how good Wenger, Benitez and Mourinho are as coaches. Discussions like theirs can basically tell the tactics used by the Chinese team on the field-but this does not mean that they can Know all about Milu's thoughts.

It is true that removing a forward and adding a midfielder is to increase the midfielder's control ability, physical fitness and defensive ability, but he replaced Li Fang, moved Nie Fei, and removed Hao Dong...not just It's just for these points!

In terms of running, Shandong's Li Xiaopeng is not bad, and he has more experience than Li Fang, while Qingdao's Qu Tao is faster and more effective in counterattacks. In this regard, they are all better than Li Fang. Fang has an advantage, but Milu chose Li Fang. He not only valued Li Fang's running ability, but also Li Fang's ability to set the ball!
The Chinese team's midfielder does not lack good set-piece players. Deke and Nie Fei are both outstanding players, but in their respective clubs, they are not the No. 1 choice for taking set-kicks - taking set-kicks must be continuous Significantly, at this point, Li Fang, who has become Perugia's number one setter, has an advantage!
In the first two games, the Chinese team got a lot of set kicks, but they failed to create any good opportunities. As the game progressed, set kicks became more important. This is why Milu chose Li Fang to play!
Of course, whether this change can be successful depends on finding out on the field.

PS: The 110th vote... Seeing the debt getting lighter and lighter, I feel so relieved!
