The strongest winger

Chapter 828 The Last Round (Addition)

The strange points and ranking after the second round of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa Group D surprised all the media who paid attention to the World Cup. This situation is really rare in decades.

Moreover, Ai Luo also attracted widespread attention with three goals. From the beginning of his career, as long as he participated in the league, he won the top scorer in all leagues.

Of course, the Premier League and Champions League in the 2009-2010 season are exceptions. He was seriously injured for half a year.

Therefore, while the Chinese team overwhelmed the German team to become No. [-] in Group D, it also aroused the media's strong interest in the top scorer of this World Cup.

Many European mainstream media and Chinese media believe that the final top scorer belongs to the fiery Aiello.

But there are also quite a few media who have expressed their doubts. There is no problem with Ai Luo's strength being among the top in world football. It's just that the average level of the Chinese team is a bit off the table. There is still a big question mark on whether he can finally get the right to qualify for the group. As for the top scorer, it is even more uncertain...

Even William Hill, Ladbrokes, and Bet365, the three major European betting companies, are not very optimistic about Aiello in terms of odds. They are more optimistic about Klose from Germany, Torres from Spain, Villa, and Van Persie and Huntelaar from the Netherlands...

However, when these words first reached the ears of Ai Luo, who had just arrived at the hotel where he stayed in Nesplite, he frowned obviously, and then said confidently: "Who said that the top scorer must participate in all the games? Maybe I only need to participate in half of the seven games to win the Golden Boot of this World Cup?"

Facing the confident Ai Luo, there are naturally many media who question his existence.

Especially on the stage of the World Cup, everyone's national pride is very strong. They don't think that Ai Luo can raise the football level of the whole China. The current Chinese team is at most a second-rate team in the world. To qualify for the group requires not only strength but also luck...

And luck is not good for the Chinese team. Ai Luo's four goalposts in the first round of the group challenged the German team is the best evidence.

In other words, in their minds, it is only theoretically possible for Ai Luo to win the World Cup Golden Boot.

Actually... not at all!
Even if Aiello is the best offensive player in the world...

Apart from his outstanding ability, his success in Valencia and Chelsea is inextricably linked to the overall strength of the team, but the current strength of the Chinese team has prevented most of the world's media from seeing the future of the Chinese team...

So Ai Luo was dissatisfied with the questioning media and said: "Since so many media have expressed deep doubts about me, does anyone dare to bet with me?"

Many reporters who came to the hotel where the Chinese team stayed instinctively wanted to agree to Ai Luo's words. In their perception, this was a win-no-lose game, but their subconscious minds remembered that Ai Luo had cashed in all the countless bets in the past, so they swallowed hard...

Isn't Juan Carlos of "World Sports Daily" the best example?
At the beginning of the 2008-2009 season, didn't many media question that it was impossible for Aiello and Mourinho to lead Chelsea to defend all the championships?

What was the result?Papapa slapped a lot of media in the face.

Therefore, it is better to be careful with Ai Luo's gambling, after all, it is a long-term boat to be careful.

So... the media who questioned Ai Luo's ability to win the World Cup Golden Boot also properly shut up.

As the crossover time between Group E and Group F approached, the attention of the media shifted to the upcoming three games. The Netherlands in Group E defeated Japan 2:0 in the second round after beating Denmark 1:0 in the first round. Therefore, they won the right to qualify ahead of schedule with Argentina, which had won two consecutive victories in Group B.

The tragedy is that after Italy was tied 1:1 by Paraguay in the first round, they were tied 1:1 by Australia in the second round of the group.

Brazil defeated Côte d'Ivoire 3:1 and achieved two consecutive victories in the group. The group qualified ahead of schedule, but Kaka's controversial red card in the game became the focus of everyone's attention after the game. At that time, he just put his arms against his body and exerted force backwards. As a result, Keita fell to the ground with his face covered in pain. The referee mistakenly thought that Kaka had swung his elbow...

Before Portugal 7-0 loudly against North Korea the next day, Kaka's wronged red card became the focus.

Because in everyone's impression, Kaka is an image of a good baby. This red card is also Kaka's first red card since he landed in European football. Numerous media who support Kaka believe that the referee on duty has added an indelible stain to Kaka's life experience, which is completely tantamount to a crime!

Spain, which lost to Switzerland in the first round, learned enough lessons and beat Honduras 3-0 with David Villa's hat-trick. At the same time, he also tied Aiello with three goals and tied for the top scorer list with three goals.

After the group stage of Group H is over, it means that the group stage of the World Cup has entered a fierce stage. Except for Nigeria, Cameroon, North Korea, and Honduras, which have lost both games, and have no hope of advancing, the other 28 teams can compete for two qualifying places in the group, especially the four groups of Group A, Group C, Group D, and Group F. All four teams have theoretical hopes of advancing.

It is worth mentioning that in Group A, France was in crisis after losing to Uruguay in the second round of the group. In the final round of Group A, Uruguay and Mexico, which had four points in the group, faced each other directly. France, which had only one point in the two games, and the host South Africa ranked third and fourth in another match. In other words, if France wants to qualify, it must beat South Africa in the final round.

And shortly after the game, an 'inner ghost' broke the news to the media that Anelka insulted coach Domenech during the halftime break, and refused to apologize. The incident became more and more troublesome, and the French Football Association had to expel him from the team.

Anelka was expelled from the team, and the other big names in the team were completely angry. It didn't take long for another "inner ghost" to break out of the French team's "dismissal incident", so that Domenech ranked the leading players who were dismissed from the starting lineup in the last game against South Africa in order to quell the civil unrest.

The result... 1:2 loss to the host South Africa, three games, one draw and two losses, only one point and tragic exit, became the laughing stock of the media all over the world.

The results of the two matches in Group B later came out. South Korea drew with Nigeria 2:2, and Argentina defeated Greece. All the South Korean teams ranked second in the group and advanced to the top [-] with four points in three games, one win, one draw and one loss.

The last round of the group match between China and Serbia and Germany and Ghana was held at 23:08 on the evening of the 30rd.

Four and a half hours before the final round of Group D is the final round of Group C.

What Aiello is most concerned about is the battle between England and Slovenia. As a player who has played in the Premier League for three seasons, he has a deep sense of substitution for the England national team, and England has a Chinese team nicknamed "Europe". In addition, teammates and friends Lampard, Ashley Cole, and Terry are the main players of England. He has countless reasons to pay attention to this game.

The whole game is undoubtedly difficult for England. Slovenia has two games, one win and one draw, and four points. As long as they draw, they can qualify, while England has two games, two draws and only two points.

In addition, the sharpness of the English media is well-known all over the world. Before the game, the team was fully pressured, hoping that the players would turn the pressure into motivation. The group beat Slovenia in the final round and won the first place in the group.

Anyway, the Chinese team is very hopeful to win the first place in the group. If you want to avoid the Chinese team with Ai Luo, you must get the first place in this group...

Under great pressure, the England team finally scored a goal...

Also won...

It just won 1:0, which was a big difference from the big victory expected. Moreover, the US team, which started at the same time in the same group, relied on Donovan to beat Algeria in stoppage time.

England ranked second in the group with a goal disadvantage!

In other words, if Group D also ends the group stage according to the current ranking, then England's opponent in the 1/8 finals will be the Chinese team!
This is a team that all British media and England national team members don't want to meet...

Ai Luo is too familiar with them! !

Of course, the British media at this time can only pray that the Chinese team will lose in the final round of the group match two hours later...

All the members of the Chinese team gathered in the hotel lobby after the two games in Group C.

Like the plot before the start of the first two group matches, the Chinese fans and some media who came to Nesplit 'watched' the members of the Chinese national team board the bus to the stadium.

The Mbobela Stadium, which can accommodate 6000 people, was nearly [-]% full two hours before the start of the game. Most of them were Chinese fans and local South African fans supporting the Chinese team, while Serbian fans only occupied a small part.

The reason why these fans entered the field two hours in advance is very simple, that is to create a fanatical game atmosphere before the start of the game and stimulate the fighting spirit of the Chinese players!

The current Chinese team ranks first in Group D with a goal advantage. For the Chinese fans who came to the scene in this game, they do not want the Chinese team to beat Serbia to secure the first place in the group, but only want to get points to get the right to qualify for the group.

Especially after South Korea drew with Nigeria yesterday to get the right to qualify for the group, the South Korean media was extremely upset, and the Chinese fans were quite upset.

In a short time, under the leadership of Jian Mangen, the president of the 'Dragon Team Fan Club', the Chinese fans quickly arranged beautiful stage decorations, including banners, slogans, and posters.

The most eye-catching thing is the huge "China Team Must Win" poster. Under the shaking of the fans, it seems to have a complete soul and come alive.
