Godfather of national football

Chapter 446
Winning both games means that the Chinese team will qualify first in the group ahead of schedule, which is the same as in previous lives, but Li Guo left the hosts with a huge problem.

After the first two rounds of the group stage, the situation in Group A was not as clear as that in Group B. South Korea and Australia also won both games.

If it was the past, the two teams would play tacitly in such a situation to mix up the game and never get red and yellow cards to affect the subsequent games, but this time is different. Whoever gets second in the group means going to play against the Chinese team.

Although the head coaches of the two countries said that it doesn't matter, the first and second in the group are the same, but they understand in their hearts that this is completely different. If they meet the Chinese team, they will lose their skin even if they don't die.

The Australian media predicted that it would be better to meet the Chinese team in the final, and it would be easier in the quarter-finals, so their national team must beat South Korea.

Coincidentally, the third game between Australia and South Korea was scheduled in Brisbane, which seemed to be destined in the dark.

Of course, Li Guo is very happy to be able to stir up the situation. In fact, he is more willing to touch the Korean team. After all, meeting the host too early will lose character, and Li Guo does not want to make too many enemies.

In the third round of the group stage, all eyes were on Brisbane, which became a sea of ​​yellow, with Australian fans flocking from all over the country.

The head coach of South Korea is a stubborn German old man-Stielike, who is very dissatisfied with the outside world's excessive attention to the quarter-finals.

"I hope the media can focus on this game. The knockout round is a matter of the future. I'm not used to this kind of speculation, and why should the Chinese team be involved?"

The South Korean team has not touched the Asian Cup championship for more than 50 years. Of course, they are very eager for it. South Korea also has great expectations for the national team, so they also know the importance of the third round of the group stage.

The Red Devils cheerleaders came back, and a large number of fans came to Brisbane, which was as lively as the early final.

Li Guo didn't go to Canberra at this time, because the third round was irrelevant to the Chinese team. Even if the Chinese team lost 100 games, they would still be first in the group, so he simply watched the Group A match in Brisbane first, and then rushed to Canberra.

Australians hate Li Guo very much, but because of his special status, he must prepare a VIP seat for Li Guo.

A reporter with good news found Li Guo before the game and asked, "Who do you want to be your next opponent?"

Li Guo shrugged, "It doesn't matter, it's all the same."

"Will you still use strange formations in the knockout round?"

"What is a strange formation? That is my latest football tactic, okay?"

The reporter blushed, "Then do you think it was successful?"

"Not yet, but I can afford it."

"Why do you always like to provoke your opponent?"

"Damn, what do you mean I provoke the opponent, the opponent bullies me, okay?" After speaking, Li Guo showed an innocent expression.

"That last question."

"Sorry, I don't want to answer you anymore, I want to watch the game."

The reporter said cautiously: "Can we continue after the game?"

"Yes, but I was in Canberra then."

The reporter was upset. After interviewing for a long time, there was no way to finish this manuscript, but Li Guo had already kicked him out of the VIP room.

*****
This game is actually quite interesting. The young and vigorous Postkoglu and the mature and prudent Stillik are fighting. I don’t know who will have the last laugh.

The last time the Chinese team met Australia in the quarter-finals, what about this time?Even Li Guo doesn't know about this problem, maybe things will change.

After the start of the game, the playing style of the two sides also carried the style of the head coach. Australia was aggressive in offense, while the South Korean team was solid in defense, like a prudent old man.

If you don’t see it, you don’t know, this Korean team made Li Guo’s eyes shine. The toughness of Korean football combined with the rigor of the Germans, after Stillik’s teaching, the Korean team seems to have stepped up to a higher level.

In the past, the South Korean team's offense was vigorous, but in fact it was very single, but now the South Korean team's offense is advancing layer by layer, with the style of German football.

Li Guo has not paid attention to Asian football for a long time. It seems that the Korean team has improved a lot, but he was careless.

Sure enough, Australia's stormy attack was like hitting cotton, with no effect. Instead, the South Korean team counterattacked and stole a goal first, and the first half ended 1-0.

During the half-time break, the scene cut to Li Guo, as if to say, our next opponent is the Chinese team.

This makes the fans of the Kangaroo Legion feel uncomfortable. To make a simple reasoning, if Australia can't beat the South Korean team, how can it beat the Chinese team?

However, the on-site commentary is very optimistic, because Australia has a lot of goal difference, that is to say, it is still the first place in the Australian group in a tie.

After the start of the second half, the Australians still bombarded indiscriminately, but perhaps because of their physical decline, they really took a chance. The South Korean defender came up in the penalty area, and Cahill volleyed directly from the back point to score.

1:1.

Cahill's set of combined boxing celebrations completely activated the atmosphere of the scene, and the fans made a crowd to celebrate.

Li Guo saw the problem. The Korean team has improved as a whole, but its personal ability is still weak, and it is still easy to make mistakes under constant pressure.

In the end, the final score was 1 to 1. Australia won the first place in the group, and the next opponent of the Chinese team was the South Korean team.

One day later in Canberra, the final round of Group B started, and the Chinese team swept the North Korean team with an absolute main force, 4-0.

But after the game, the media had something to say again, because under normal circumstances, the team will rotate when they are sure to win the first place in the group, and the Chinese team is still in a good mood, as if they are venting something.

But what everyone doesn't know is that Li Guo's plan is to use games as substitutes for training. Every game needs to be improved to a higher level. Therefore, in Li Guo's plan, this game is very important. After this game, the Chinese team will be in a [-]% state.

But this is a secret, and Li Guo won't tell it, so from the outside world, the Chinese team seems to be crazy.

The schedule is really great for the Chinese team. The quarter-finals are still in Brisbane, and the Chinese team has returned here, and the original hotel has not been returned.

After the group stage, the top eight of the Asian Cup were all produced. Group A included Australia and South Korea, Group B included China and Uzbekistan, Group C included Iran and the United Arab Emirates, and Group D included Japan and Iraq.

The encounter between the South Korean and Chinese teams is the most interesting, because there are too many grievances and grievances in the football history of the two countries, which can only increase in the future, and cannot be reduced.

The head coaches of both sides are gearing up and waiting for the quarter-finals.
