40. Top 10 routs of the World Cup
Eight to zero, the Portuguese national team slaughtered the North Korean team, and the North Korean team became the first Asian team to be eliminated in this Shijie Cup.
In the first half of this game, the North Korean team played very well, and the North Korean team performed very well at the beginning, and even occupied the top. And at the end of the first half, the North Korean team was only 0-2 behind.
At that time, no one would have imagined that this game would turn into a bloody massacre. The difference between the performance of the North Korean team in the first half was too great for people to understand.
Truth be told, this game was a bit of a big surprise. Originally, people's expectations for the North Korean team were very high, and they thought that the North Korean team was likely to become a spoiler in this group and create a big upset.
It's a pity that the North Korean team disappointed them too much in this game, and of course it also made everyone realize the reality.
The top two teams in this group only exist between Brazil, Ivory Coast and Portugal, and North Korea is the one who will give the boy.
The reason why the North Korean team lost so much in this game was actually the tactical failure of head coach Kim Jong-hoon. Former Portugal national team coach Scolari put it bluntly: "North Korea played well in the first half, but in the second half, coach Kim Jong-hoon made tactical adjustments, they wanted to play offensive football, but it didn't work." Defensively, if you look at them 20 meters away, you can see the Portuguese team shoot everywhere. ”
Yes, after conceding the goal, the North Korean team wanted to equalize too much, and directly pressed it with a big pressure, which led to the space in the back line, so that Zuihou collapsed.
North Korea's head coach Kim Jong-hoon also admitted his tactical mistake in his post-match press conference: "In today's game, I think my players have tried their best, tactically we are a failure, we can't stop the opponent's attack, that's why we have conceded so many goals. ”
Kim Jong-hoon added: "We played well before conceding the goal and created many good chances. It made me misestimate the situation, so after conceding the goal, I pressed hard and tried to equalise as quickly as possible. ”
Kim Jong-hoon said: "It turns out that I misestimated the strength of the Portuguese national team, and after pressing too much, there were too many holes in the backline. And I didn't make timely adjustments and set up more tactics as a manager, which is a remiss on our part. ”
Kim Jong-hoon took all the blame on himself: "As the game progressed, Portugal attacked more violently after scoring a goal, and my team wanted to equalize too much, which led to the final collapse. ”
When he said these words, Comrade Kim Jong-hoon was expressionless, and you could see how painful his heart was. Originally, they had the opportunity to play with Portugal, but now it was all because of his own tactical failure, which led to this big rout, and he was very painful in his heart.
However, Kim Jung-hoon did not give up on this Shijie Cup, he continued: "We will not give up, we will play our attitude in a match in Zuihou." In a match in Zuihou, I will carefully lay out my tactics and try to take away a victory on the stage of the Shijie Cup. ”
Listening to Kim Jong-hoon's words, the head coach of the Portuguese national team, Paulo 61 Bento, said: "I think the North Korean team is still very respectable, they showed great style throughout the game, there was no malicious foul on us, they can leave with their heads held high." ”
Paulo 61 Bento added: "I would also like to say to the head coach of the North Korean team, sometimes we have to face this result. That's not to say you're not good enough, it's a lot of things. You are worthy of respect, and we look forward to your good performance in the next round. ”
In the post-match press conference, Zheng Dashi also gave a brief interview, he said: "In this game, our back line was completely breached, one reason is that we conceded the goal too early and had to press it out; Another reason was that we made a lot of mistakes, which led to our big defeats. It is indeed a pity that I failed to avenge the revenge of 44 years ago. ”
As the best player in the game, Qiu Ze also attended the post-match press conference, in which he said: "The North Korean team performed very well in the first half of the game today, and he caused a lot of trouble for them. However, they did make some mistakes in the second half of the game. ”
Qiu Ze also said: "However, even so, they have to respect, this is a terrible opponent." If they are given more time, their strength will definitely reach a higher level in the future. ”
This game attracted a lot of attention after the game, the rout of the North Korean team was not expected by everyone, and the rout of the North Korean team is enough to be recorded in the history of the Shijie Cup.
And this rout of the North Korean team is enough to rank in the top ten of the major routs in the history of the Shijie Cup, and the North Korean team has become a negative teaching material.
The biggest rout in the history of the Shijie Cup was born in 1982 and was made by the Hungarian national team and the El Salvadian national team. At that time, the Hungarian national team defeated the El Salovan national team ten to 1, which is not to say how strong the Hungarian national team is, but that the El Saldoba's national team is too weak.
The second-largest defeat in the history of the Shijie Cup was in 1954, also by Hungary, which were very strong and were led by superstar Puskas, who beat Germany 8-3 in this tournament, so they beat South Korea 9-0.
The third-largest rout in the history of the Shijie Cup was in the 1974 Shijie Cup in Germany, where Yugoslavia won 9-0 against Zaire, Yugoslavia led 6-0 in the first half, and would have scored more goals had they not slowed down in the second half.
The fourth-largest defeat in the history of the Shijie Cup was in the 1938 Shijie Cup in France, where Sweden defeated Cuba 8-0.
The fifth-largest defeat in the history of the Shijie Cup was in the 1950 Shijie Cup in Brazil, this Shijie Cup can be described as a miracle, Group D due to the temporary abstention of the team, so there are only two teams in this group, Uruguay and Bolivia, this game also attracted only 5,000 people, but the Uruguayan team was 8-0 to kill the opponent, creating a tragedy.
The sixth-largest rout in the history of the Shijie Cup came in the 2002 Shijie Cup in South Korea and Japan, when Germany defeated Saudi Arabia 8-0, and in this game, German striker Klose scored an unprecedented hat-trick of headers.
The seventh-largest rout in the history of the Shijie Cup was the Portuguese national team's 8-0 defeat of North Korea in this Shijie Cup, in which Qiu Ze scored a hat-trick and provided a number of assists.
The eighth-largest defeat in the history of the Shijie Cup was in the 1974 Shijie Cup in Germany, where Poland defeated the Haitian national team 7-0.
The ninth-ranked defeat in the history of the Shijie Cup was in the 1954 Shijie Cup in Switzerland, when Turkey defeated South Korea 7-0, and the South Korean team became another tragedy.
The 10th largest defeat in the history of the Shijie Cup was also in the 1954 Shijie Cup in Switzerland, when Uruguay defeated Scotland 7-0.
Seeing this, whether it is South Koreans or North Koreans, they will definitely not feel comfortable in their hearts, they have appeared on this not-so-honorable list a total of three times, what a tragic existence.
The North Koreans have already been eliminated from the tournament after losing this game, but they said that they will definitely not give up in the Zuihou round and they will show their momentum in the Zuihou game.
The Portuguese national team is of course very happy to see North Korea and the Ivory Coast national team go to the death, so that their chances of qualifying will be one point higher.
Now the situation is still good for the Portuguese national team, and now after two rounds of matches, the top of this group is naturally the Brazilian national team, who are now at the top of the table with six points from two games.
The Portuguese national team has four points from two games, one win and one draw, ranking second in the group. The Ivory Coast national team has two games, one draw and one loss, accumulating one point and ranking third in this group. North Korea, on the other hand, lost both games and scored zero points, ranking last in the group.
Among them, the North Korean team has been eliminated, and the Brazilian team has already qualified from this group in advance. The rest of the Portuguese and Ivory Coast teams are battling it out for a place in the group, which is the same as everyone predicted before the game.
However, the Portuguese national team may not be without a chance to compete for the top spot in the group. As long as the Portuguese national team wins against Brazil in the first round of matches in Zuihou, the Portuguese national team will be at the top of the group with two wins and one draw and seven points.
And in such a situation, regardless of the situation of the Ivorian national team Zuihou in the first round and the North Korean team, the Ivorian national team will be eliminated.
If the Portuguese national team and the Brazilian national team draw in the first round of the match, the Brazilian team will live to win the group and directly qualify. The Portuguese national team will also qualify as the second place in the group regardless of the Ivory Coast national team and the North Korean team.
If the Portuguese national team loses to Brazil in another round of matches, and the Ivory Coast national team wins against North Korea, then the two teams will have to compete on goal difference to see who is Zuihou.
Now the Portuguese national team has an advantage of eight goal difference, and it is really too difficult for the Ivory Coast national team to fight with the Portuguese national team on goal difference.
Therefore, the current situation is very clear for the Portuguese national team, their advantage is very large, and it can be seen that the two teams that will finally qualify for this group should be Brazil and the Portuguese national team.
Of course, the Ivorian national team is not without opportunities. But the chances are so slim. Even the Ivory Coast national team itself is not particularly confident, especially after they saw the Portuguese national team beat North Korea 8-0.
If the Ivory Coast national team wants to beat Portugal to qualify, they must first guarantee that they can beat North Korea by a score of more than 8-0, and then pray that Brazil can beat the Portuguese national team by a score of more than 3-1.
This seems very impossible, after the tragic match between the North Korean team and the Portuguese national team, they will definitely use their strength to eat, they will definitely not let the tragedy happen again, they can't afford to lose that person.
Therefore, the prospect of qualifying for the Ivory Coast national team is really particularly sad, so sad that almost everyone does not believe it. Yes, it's just too hard to convince people. Moreover, the Kaka of the Brazilian team in the first round of Zuihou is still suspended and cannot play, which will inevitably affect the strength of the Brazilian team.
The Brazilian team has already qualified from the group, and in this round of Zuihou, people say that they have to keep it, and they will stay in the knockout round, and the chances of the Ivory Coast national team will be one less point.
