Rebirth 1994: Football Situation

Chapter 539

When the World Cup reaches the quarter-finals, it is basically the main event, and this World Cup is no exception. Although the gold content of the quarter-finals of this World Cup is still much worse than that of the previous one-the quarter-finals of the 98 World Cup were It is Brazil, Denmark, Argentina, Netherlands, Croatia, Germany, France and Italy. The four quarter-finals are classics, and they have left countless scenes for future generations to recall. For example, Laudru Jr. in the battle between Brazil and Denmark The Sleeping Beauty shape after Pu's goal, Bergkamp's beautiful unloading shot in the battle between Argentina and the Netherlands, Sukla's elegant violin-like goal in the battle between Croatia and Germany, and even Baggiona's goal in the battle between France and Italy. The volley in the penalty area with a slight difference in feet makes people talk about it. Looking at the 72-year history of the World Cup, there are few World Cups that can have so many classic games in the four quarter-finals!

There are still quite a few highlights in the quarter-finals of this World Cup, the most eye-catching of which is the match between Brazil and England, and the match between Germany and Portugal is also full of highlights. Can Germany apply for the European Championship? Countless fans also paid attention to the revenge of the two Asian teams. Although the other two Asian teams participated in the games were not as exciting as the first two, but as Asian teams, their performance was enough for everyone to pay attention to.

South Korea VS Spain, China VS Uruguay.

The biggest highlight of the match between China and Uruguay is Uruguay's number one star Recoba.

The star who played for Inter Milan in Serie A seems to have an inseparable relationship with China-this star came to China when he was 20 years old. Although he only stayed here for one and a half seasons, his outstanding performance Left a deep impression on Chinese fans, and after transferring to Inter Milan, it is well known that his nickname is "Chinese Boy". Among the opponents in this game, Nie Fei, Zhu Guosheng, Wu Jiang, Zhang Yiming also Even Hao Dong used to be his teammate and fought side by side on the field-with this relationship, the fans will undoubtedly be more interested in this game.

Chinese reporters have also found a news digging point. Although few of them can interview Recoba, it is easier to interview Chinese players—especially after Milu has entered the quarterfinals. Reporters are no longer prohibited from filming training situations— —Now the strength of the Chinese team has been fully reflected, and there is nothing to keep secret.

"That guy Alvaro? Hehe, he is a very interesting guy. In terms of technology, he is also the top player in Serie A, especially the free kick. In my opinion, his free kick can definitely be scored. Among the top ten in the world!" Nie Fei first highly praised Recoba, and then said confidently: "Hope for the game? I hope Recoba scores and we win."

When the reporters conveyed this sentence to Recoba, Recoba smiled: "Nie Fei said it as if I am a person who puts individual performance above the team as a whole... Important, the team's victory is what I care most about, Uruguay is not the only one, if they only focus on me, Forlan and Silva will definitely teach the Chinese team a lesson."

**********************************
"Nie Fei did a good job." Looking at the report in the newspaper, Pei Wei smiled and said to the rest of the coaching staff: "At least we know that Uruguay's starting forwards will be Forlan and Da Silva."

Others of course know that Pei Wei is joking. There is no secret at all for the game to this point. Although Uruguay has brought eight strikers to the World Cup, including Recoba, the strength and effectiveness of other strikers There is a big gap between Manchester United's Forlan and Malaga's Silva, and their coach Pua will certainly not change teams casually.

"Uruguay is not easy to deal with." Tang Pengju said worriedly: "Their skills from South America are definitely not bad. In the last game, even though they were advanced by Sweden at the beginning of the game, they still passed Recoba's direct free kick in overtime. The ball eliminated Sweden, which shows that their will is very tenacious... Such an opponent is difficult to deal with."

"Especially their Recoba...Although he didn't score in the first two games of the group stage, he scored four goals in two games in the third game of the group and the quarter-finals! One penalty, Two direct free kicks and a long-range shot! The state is terrible!" Chu Guanghu's expression was not very good, and it was obvious that Recoba's performance in these two games completely shocked him.

"Alvaro is indeed in his peak state now. He has been performing very well this year, and he has not suffered any injuries. A healthy Recoba is undoubtedly the level of a world superstar." Pei Wei Nodded, Pei Wei is the most familiar with Recoba among the coaching staff of the national team, and during the year and a half of Yunjia Tianyu, both Wenger and Benitez were very familiar with Recoba. Recoba's training is very tight, and Recoba is much better than the glass man in history in terms of physical fitness and confrontation ability: "And he has played his best in these two games, we can't expect him to suddenly decline. .”

"Then we have to pay attention in this game, not to give Uruguay too many free kicks." Milu nodded: "Their forwards are very fast, so I plan to let Zhu Guosheng rest and let General Fan play against Li Wei." The central defenders, both of them are relatively fast, suitable for dealing with strikers like Forlan and Silva."

"Also, the Uruguayans make a lot of small moves during the game, and the players should be reminded not to conflict with them." Pei Wei added.

"This game will be difficult to play, so let the players know the difficulty of this game in these few days of training... But to be honest, we don't have any pressure now, and we can make history with one step forward." Mi Lu said with a relaxed smile that the results of leading the Chinese team this time have already equaled his best result of leading the team - in 86, he once led Mexico to the quarter-finals of the World Cup. A history of Asian football and Chinese football, but also to create a history of his own.

"I believe we will play seven games." Pei Wei said confidently, his meaning was very clear - we must enter the semi-finals!

****************************************
On June 21st, the World Cup, which had been suspended for two days, was rekindled. Today's two quarter-finals are Brazil vs. England and Germany vs. Portugal.

The first thing to do is the most anticipated battle between Brazil and England in the quarter-finals. One is Brazil, the football kingdom that has won the most World Cups, and the other is the originator of modern football, England, the champion of the World Cup in 66. Fans of both teams have quite a few fans all over the world, and it is undoubtedly the most eye-catching game.

And the process of this game did not disappoint the fans. After the World Cup, almost everyone unanimously gave this game the title of "the most classic game of this World Cup"!
At the beginning, both sides played cautiously, and the game seemed relatively flat, but in the No. 204 minute, Lucio made a mistake in playing with fire in the backcourt. After stealing the ball, Owen went straight in and stabbed the ball into the empty goal before Marcos attacked. England One to zero lead!

At the same time as England scored, almost all the commentators slapped their thighs—well, there is a good show to watch—Brazil will definitely counterattack wildly, and the game will definitely be more exciting than before!

The same is true, Brazil launched a fierce attack after falling behind, while England retreated from the defense and played subtle counterattacks from time to time, using the long ball of midfielder Beckham and the speed of striker Owen to make the Brazilian defenders fearful. , but before the end of the first half, the Brazilian's perfect technique finally played a role. Rivaldo, who was defended by others, faced Seaman with a beautiful volley to equalize the score!
Just 5 minutes into the second half, Ronaldinho made the Brazilian fans go crazy again - he used an unbelievable free kick 35 meters away to directly lob the old England goalkeeper Seaman to shame!This conceded goal proved that Seaman is indeed old!

Ronaldinho performed perfectly with one pass and one shot, but after only 8 minutes, he almost changed from the biggest hero of the victory to the sinner-in the 8 minutes of the whole game, he used a stupid back shovel to make himself lead With a red card, Brazil was forced to retreat and start a defensive counterattack when it was about to continue to expand the score. If England, which lacks the ability to attack tough battles, failed to make good use of the advantage of having one more player, Brazil may not be able to advance to the semi-finals in a passive situation!

But after all, Brazil still withstood the pressure. They managed to keep the score of [-]-[-] to the end and became the first team to advance to the semi-finals!

Although there are regrets, it still does not damage the classic level of this game.

Three hours after the end of the game, the second quarter-finals also started as scheduled. Germany, which swept away the decline of the European Championship two years ago, began to deal with Portugal with terrible calmness. There are so many opportunities to show off, and they continue to launch counterattacks under a solid defense. In the first half No. 309 minutes, Ballack showed his superstar demeanor. His lightning strike in front of the goal helped Germany take the lead!

After taking the lead, the Germans still dealt with the Portuguese with sophisticated defense. This is the terrible thing about the three-time World Cup champion Germany.

The Portuguese's technology was useless under the overall cooperation of the Germans. Germany successfully maintained its one-goal lead until the end, and entered the semi-finals without bloodshed!

After the day passed, it was finally the turn of the two Asian teams.

PS: I drank too much wine yesterday...it's not good now, I can't find Bei with four bottles of beer. When I was in college, I drank up to [-] bottles at a time...

Yesterday's opening ceremony was good, the national characteristics are very good, only the national is the world.

Apart from the poor theme song and the slightly old-fashioned final ignition, everything else is pretty good.
