Volume 4 The Legend of the World Cup Chapter 85 The Complicated Situation of the Final Round
The Chinese team has 6 points in the second round of the group, with a goal difference of 6, as long as there is no big rout in the last round, even if the Chinese team loses by a large score, if Paraguay can't beat Turkey in the last round, the Chinese team can also qualify from the group, among all the teams that have ended, the Chinese team's qualifying situation is the second best after Chile, which greatly surprised fans, media and football experts, after the game, many people are discussing the secret of the Chinese team's success, discussing the Chinese team's tactical play, The training of the Chinese team is much more lively than before, many Brazilian fans walked to the training ground to watch the training of the Chinese team, and in just two games, the Chinese team has become one of the most eye-catching teams in this World Cup.
After the end of the second game, the Chinese fans rejoiced and celebrated in advance, but Li Huan's national team still maintained a low-key style, not lightly qualified, Li Huan said that football is round, anything can happen, the Chinese team's striker Xu Yang said that he and his teammates will wait until the end of the third round to celebrate, the young Chinese team showed maturity and calmness to surprise the entire football circle, they also have a new level of understanding of Li Huan's coaching art.
In the second round of Group G, the Dutch team remained strong, sending Switzerland back home 3-1, while Uruguay also beat Saudi Arabia 2-1 to qualify from the group one round ahead of the group with the Netherlands, and the two teams will fight for the top spot in the group in the next round.
In the final group of fixtures, Italy, who were held to a draw by Ghana in the first round, suffered another blow as they were beaten 2-1 by Russia with a one-goal lead and lost the crucial second game. Fortunately, Honduras finally showed its original form, defeated by Ghana by 3 goals, and avoided the tragedy of going out of the group in two games, but their fate is not in their own hands, because Ghana is ranked first with 4 points, Russia and Honduras are in second and third place with 3 points, and Italy is only 1 point in the last, but even if Italy can beat the weak Honduras in the last round, as long as Russia and Ghana play tacit ball, Italy may be played.
After the game, the Italian media was in an uproar, and the four-time World Cup champion actually fell to this step, which made all Italians feel disgraced, and the media were crusading against Italian coach Prandelli, believing that he was the culprit, and it was his stubbornness and incompetence that dragged Italy into the current quagmire.
In addition to the crusade against Prandelli, the Italian media also shook an olive branch to Russia, praising Russia as a team with a tradition of fair play, they have the mind of a big country, and they will definitely not play tacit football with Ghana, in addition, Italian reporters also put themselves in Russia's shoes, thinking that Russia can only qualify as the second in the group when playing tacit ball, and they will meet the first in the group, which is very likely to be the Dutch team, which is very unfavorable for Russia.
The Russian and Ghanaian media expressed their dissatisfaction with the appeal of the Italian media, believing that the actions of the Italian media would interfere with their team's preparations, and that Russia and Ghana would not play tacit ball, and they would play according to their own plans and strive to win every game.
After the end of the second round of the group, the brutal third round followed, and the teams that have not yet been determined in the second round will be completely ended in this round, whether it is a Jedi counterattack or a complete sinking, depending on the performance of this round.
On June 23, the third round of the Brazil World Cup group was fully launched, the host Brazil team faced the South African team, France and the Taiji Tiger South Korean team clashed, because France and Brazil had the same 4 points before, who had more goal difference in this game, who will win the first place in the group, because the Brazilian team defeated South Korea by 5 goals in the first game, so as long as the Brazilian team wins, France has little hope of winning the group. The biggest danger for France now is that South Korea still have hope of qualifying from the group, and the tenacious South Korean team will definitely have to fight to the death.
In the last round, for the sake of fair competition, the two games started at the same time, the Brazilian team relied on the strong strength and home factor, scored two goals in the first ten minutes to lay the victory, and the French team really met a hard bone, the South Korean team did not give up the hope of advancing because of the strength of the French team, they stubbornly launched an attack on the French team.
The French team did not put the Taiji Tiger in their eyes at first, but after the South Korean team scored a goal, the French team was anxious, they launched a fierce counterattack, the game scene once became extremely intense, the two sides were very fierce, and the yellow cards also appeared frequently, but the South Korean team is still too big a gap in strength, not mental and physical strength can make up for it, they were equalized in the tenth minute of the second half, and then the South Korean team was also sent off midfielder Li Qinglong, and finally the French team attacked like a tide, Ribery and Karim Benzema scored twice in quick succession to complete the comeback, and France finished second in the group and joined Brazil, who had won by four goals.
Group B was chaotic before, England with 4 points and Greece with 3 points, Ivory Coast with 2 points, Mexico with 1 point, all four teams are likely to qualify, and the third round is England against Mexico, Ivory Coast vs. Greece.
The two games were very dramatic, starting with Mexico leading England by one goal, Greece scoring a goal against Ivory Coast, advancing to Greece and Mexico, and half an hour later, England equalized and it became Greece and England to qualify; At the end of the first half, the Ivorians scored two goals in a row to overtake Greece and advance to Côte d'Ivoire and England.
However, at the end of the final game, the Greek team, which was the least favored before the game, scored another goal in Ivory Coast, equalized the score, and joined hands with England to qualify.
There was not much suspense in the final round of the group, and the slow-burning Argentina were getting better and better, easily beating Australia 3-0, but the Czech Republic was knocked over by the African eagles Nigeria by two goals, and lost the right to qualify, Argentina and Nigeria qualified first and second in the group.
Chile in Group D of the Group of Death has won two consecutive victories out of hell and won the group, they faced Portugal in the last round just to cope with the errand, and finally lost to Portugal with Ronaldo by 1 goal, but Croatia shook hands with the Americans, Portugal and the United States team have 4 points, because the United States team defeated Portugal by one goal before, leading each other, the United States and Chile team joined hands to qualify, while the two European teams that are not weak were eliminated.
Portugal with superstar Rowe was eliminated from the competition, causing a shock in the Portuguese domestic media and European media, the European media were surprised by the abnormal performance of the European powerhouse in the American continent, and the Portuguese domestic media thought that the performance of the Portuguese team was very humiliating, and it was eliminated by the United States, which does not like football, and they thought that the whole Portuguese team should apologize to the national fans.
The first four groups have people crying and laughing, salted fish turning over, strong to the end, and success and failure, witnessing the tragicomedy of 16 teams, and the Chinese team, which is in a very good qualifying situation, also feels nervous, because they are about to welcome a strong Spain. Now Spain must win to qualify from the group, but after Spain wins, if Paraguay also wins, then a series of sets will be formed between Spain, Paraguay and the Chinese team with 6 points, the Chinese team wins Paraguay, Paraguay wins Spain, Spain wins the Chinese team, and finally can only look at the goal difference of the three teams, so the Chinese team can't at least lose too badly if they want to qualify, if they are slaughtered by Spain, and Paraguay beats Turkey, the Chinese team will be eliminated, Because Spain defeated the Chinese team by 4 goals in the warm-up match, the Chinese team has a fear of Spain, and it is not impossible for them to be slaughtered.
As early as after the second round of the group stage of Group E, the Spanish media targeted the Chinese team, because the Chinese team, including superstar Li Huan, had five players playing in Spain, which was regarded as a civil war by the Spanish media. "World Sports" believes that this is a disadvantage for Spain, because the Chinese team must be very familiar with the Spanish players, and is also familiar with Spain's style of play, Spain is based on Barcelona, and without Messi's Spain's ability to break the dense defense, if the Chinese team sacrifices the iron bucket formation, Spain will definitely play very hard.
However, Le Monde Sport believes that hard is hard and that in the end Spain will definitely win, because the technical and tactical ability of the two teams is not on the same level, as the results in the warm-up matches illustrate.
Marca are even more optimistic, believing that Spain have now found their form from a big win over Turkey after a slow start, and that beating China is not a problem at all, as long as Spain can score the crucial first goal, the next goal will be in the pipeline.
The Spanish boss is also confident in the game, insisting that Spain's goal is still to go straight to the title, with Spain's best national team at the end of its game and he must seize his chance to win the World Cup in Brazil.
China's domestic media are also not optimistic about the Chinese team winning or drawing, after all, Spain is too strong, and the style of play also restrains the Chinese team, but the domestic media have also supported the Chinese team, according to FIFA's group ranking rules, if two or more teams have the same points, they will be compared in the following order to determine the ranking order:
, the one with the highest score is ranked high
b. Compare the scores of teams with equal points playing against each other. If it is still equal, then:
, compare the goal difference between teams with equal points playing against each other. If it is still equal, then:
d. Compare the number of goals scored by teams with equal points in each other's matches. If it is still equal, then:
e. Compare the total goal difference in the entire group stage. If it is still equal, then:
f. Compare the total number of goals scored in the entire group stage. If it is still equal, then:
g. Drawing lots.
If Paraguay beats Turkey and Spain beats the Chinese team, China must not lose more than 3, if it exceeds 3, according to the rules, the Chinese team will be eliminated, and as long as there are no more than 3, the Chinese team still has hope to match Paraguay with a goal difference in the group stage, of course, if the loss can be controlled within two goals, the Chinese team can join hands with Spain to qualify. Therefore, even if the Chinese team is scored by Spain, it cannot panic, and persevering until the end is a victory.
