The stage of the World Cup will never lack **, and there will never be a sense of freshness. Almost every World Cup will be a new army to come and become a member of the World Cup stage. Of course, this time is no exception.
Group F: This group is full of freshness, including defending champion Italy, South American giant Paraguay, Oceania upstart New Zealand and World Cup roone Slovakia.
Italy is the eldest parent of this group. After successfully winning the 2006 World Cup, Italy will compete in the World Cup in South Africa as the defending champion. Italy, which has won the World Cup four times, is second only to Brazil, which has reached the top five times.
In this World Cup qualifiers, Italy, which is in the same group as Ireland and Bulgaria, is quite ideal, but Italy's way out is not easy and does not create too many surprises. Italy does not have a clear advantage on the field against weak teams such as Cyprus and Georgia.
In the 2009 Intercontinental Nations Cup, the Italian team that lost to Egypt and Brazil failed to qualify, and the defeat to Brazil completely exposed the strength gap between Italy and the world's top teams.
After leading Italy to win the 2006 World Cup, Lippi handed over the head coach of the national team, but when Italy's performance in the 2008 European Cup was not satisfactory, Lippi once again became the head coach of the national team.
Lippi, nicknamed "Silver Fox", achieved great success while coaching Juventus, and after becoming the head coach of the national team, Juventus players accounted for a considerable proportion of the national team. Even if Juventus' record this season is quite bad, even if the many international players who played for Juventus are not in ideal conditions and They are old players, but Lippi still stubbornly brought them to the World Cup in South Africa.
Some people say that Lippi is nostalgic, while others say that Lippi is stubborn, but Lippi's approach to the choice of players is obviously a little biased. As a few seasons, Fiorentina, who has performed the best in world football, should have provided more international players for the Italian national team, but unfortunately Lippi turned a blind eye to it and finally only called Montolivo and Pazzini.
Others such as Ledesma, Marjo, Crixito, Lanoquia, Bonucci and others were ignored by Lippi, so that Degan couldn't help but bombard the stinky Italian old man in his first interview after arriving in South Africa.
"His head has always lived in the 1990s, so that my brothers have become nursing children in his eyes!"
At present, Italy's main lineup is still based on the players who won the 2006 World Cup. Italy's lack of contact is quite serious. The main lineup is seriously aging, young players have failed to take the lead, and a large number of veterans still have an irreplaceable role in the national team.
On the front line, the state of Yaquinta, Gilardino and other internationals is not ideal. Pacini's strength is good, but unfortunately, Pacini has always been just a substitute in Lippi's team.
The front line is not satisfactory, and it is difficult for Italy to have highlights in other positions. In the 2006 World Cup, the Italian defense led by Cannavaro is solid, but the players have always been difficult to resist the traces of the years. Cannavaro, who is about to turn 37, inevitably declined. This season Juventus and Cannavarro are unable to support the defense, but in the national team, Cannavaro, who has played the most times as the captain, will still appear in the World Cup in South Africa.
Cannavaro and his teammate Chiellini at Juventus will be Italy's first choice in the central defender position, and Chiellini's rapid growth in the year of play reflects Cannavaro's old age.
As long as there are no injuries, Buffon is still Italy's first choice in the position of goalkeeper, and many rising stars in Serie A are still difficult to replace Buffon. In the 2006 World Cup, Buffon's performance is impeccable and a key factor for Italy to finally win the championship.
Due to the downturn of Juventus this season, Buffon's performance has been much bleak, but in the national team, Buffon is still the number one goalkeeper.
As an Italian offensive organizer, Pirlo's role in the Italian formation is also difficult to replace. Pirlo, who used to play in the front waist position, retreated from AC Milan and was successfully transformed into an organized back waist. The great success of the front waist rear has benefited AC Milan a lot. Italy copied AC Milan's experience was also a great success. In the 2006 World Cup, Pirlo, who was the starting point of Italy's actual attack, shined brilliantly.
As the brain of the whole team, Pirlo controls the offensive rhythm. In the back position, Pirlo gets more opportunities to pass and catch the ball, and dispatches the team's attack with accurate long and short passes again and again.
Pirlo's erratic free kick is even more unique. The fallen ball that suddenly fell like an elevator is his specialty, and his penalty is also quite deep. The silent and low-key Pirlo elegantly controls the ball on the court, but he can pass a fatal ball in an instant. In the current Italian team, it is still It is difficult to find a replacement for Pirlo.
Italy's biggest competitor in this group will be the powerful Paraguay from South America. This is Paraguay's fourth consecutive finals of the World Cup. In the 2006 World Cup, Paraguay failed to qualify for the group. In this World Cup qualifier, it defeated Argentina's Pakistan. Laguet successfully qualified as the third place in the South American region. After 18 rounds of qualifiers, Paraguay is the second team with the second least number of goals in the South American region after Brazil. Solid defense is still the treasure of Paraguay's town team. In addition, sharp counterattack is Paraguay's main offensive means.
Paraguay's core player deserves the title of Valdes. During the World Cup qualifier, it was Valdes who scored the winning goal in Paraguay's home victory over Argentina.
However, whether he plays for Wender Bremen or to Borussia Dortmund, Valdes' goal rate is not high every season, but Valdes, who is good at playing the competition, is still a player that every head coach can't give up.
Paraguay's number one star is Santa Cruz. He became famous at a young age and has a handsome face. Since becoming famous, Santa Cruz has been regarded as the hope of Paraguay's front line and has participated in the 2002 and 2006 World Cups with Paraguay.
But during his eight years at Bayern Munich, Santa Cruz has always been a marginal man on the front line. 2007/2008 for Blackburn was a rare full-out season in Santa Cruz's career, but after joining Manchester City in the following season, he suffered injuries. Santa Cruz, who was plagued by illness, had a limited appearance and had a mediocre performance. In his career, injuries have always been his enemy and greatly affected his performance, but Santa Cruz' ability to grab points in front of the goal in a healthy state is still quite prominent.
Paraguay, without big-name stars, wants to go further in this World Cup, mainly relying on their overall cooperation to make up for their talent.
New Zealand is recognized as the weakest team in this World Cup. This is New Zealand's second appearance at the World Cup. Previously, New Zealand participated in the 1982 World Cup. Thanks to Australia's joining the AFC, New Zealand easily qualified in the World Cup Oceania qualifiers and played at home and away with Bahrain. In the two rounds of play-offs, New Zealand, which won with a total score of 1:0, was lucky to get the World Cup ticket.
Football is far from being the first sport in New Zealand. Rugby and cricket are obviously more popular with New Zealanders. The overall strength of New Zealand football can only be regarded as mediocre. In the 2009 Intercontinental Nations Cup, New Zealand failed to score goals in three group games.
In this World Cup, New Zealand is completely uncompetitive. The skills under the feet of the players are generally rough, and the team's playing style is quite simple and direct, but the players' physical quality is quite excellent and generally tall. Due to the obvious air advantage, the positioning ball has become an important scoring method in New Zealand.
The most familiar to players in New Zealand is Nelson, the defender who plays for Blackburn. In recent seasons in the Premier League, Nelson is the core of Blackburn's defense line. While the defense is fierce, Nelson also has excellent header scoring ability, which plays a prominent role in positioning tactics. Nelson's rich experience at the age of 33 will be a valuable asset for New Zealand to play in the World Cup.
Slovakia is a fresh element in this World Cup. Czechoslovakia used to be a powerful team in world football, and this is the first time that Slovakia has been able to appear in the World Cup since independence. In this World Cup qualifiers, Slovakia is in the same group with the Czech Republic and Slovenia, Slovakia Originally, it was not optimistic, but under the leadership of head coach Weiss, Slovakia finally advanced.
Although Slovakia's overall strength is not strong, there are many well-known stars in the team. Among them, Hamsik is the undisputed number one star in Slovakia. In his four seasons in Florence, Hamsik has grown rapidly. At present, Hamsik has become the most eye-catching top in Serie A. One of the midfielders, every summer, there have been continuous rumors that the rich club wants to introduce Hamsik, who is currently only 23 years old and still has considerable room for improvement in the future.
As a very modern midfielder, Hamsik does not have much control of the ball in the game, but he has an excellent running awareness and disc tape technology, and the awareness of passing the ball is also outstanding. After four seasons in Florence, Hamsik's ability to read the game has been significantly enhanced.
Hamsik, who has excellent forward insertion ability, has taken his performance this season. His football style is quite similar to that of retired Czech star Nedvede, and Hamsik is gradually approaching the height that Nedvede has achieved.
In this season's Champions League final, without Montolivo's injury, Fiorentina's head coach finally chose Hamsik as the main force. In the game, Hamsik also helped Degan take the lead with an assist, and finally Fiorentina won the championship.
Idywa also made its second appearance in the World Cup. The 2006 World Cup was the only appearance in the World Cup finals. Due to the same group with the Netherlands and Argentina, Idyva finally failed to qualify in the group, but Idyvar only lost to Argentina. Netherlands, Idyvar still shows enough competitiveness in the competition with strong teams.
This time, Idywa's team opponents also include strong teams such as Brazil and Portugal, but the strong Idyva still has enough strength to strive for a breakthrough this time.
The head coach of the team is Erikson, a Swedish old man. During his previous coaching in England, although there were a lot of English stars, they have never been able to make a difference in the competition. Erikson's conservative and monotonous style of play has been controversial.
After that, without knowing anything about Central and North American football, Eriksson took over Mexico. At the beginning of the World Cup Central and North America qualifiers, Mexico led by Erikson performed poorly. After firing Erikson in time, Mexico returned to the right track and finally qualified smoothly.
This time in a hurry to take over Ico d'Ivoire, Eriksson's understanding of IIvoire players is quite limited, and it is still unknown whether he can develop a way to play suitable for Ico d'Ivoire players.
In addition to the goalkeeper position, the players in the rest of the position in Cote d'Ivoire all play in the European League, and many players are the main players of the rich clubs. Not surprisingly, the group of players who competed in the 2006 World Cup will still form the main framework of this World Cup in C d'Ivoire.
Drogba is still the leader in this World Cup in Idyvan. As the greatest star in the history of Idymish football so far, Warcraft Drogba is still in good condition. This season, it has helped Chelsea win the Premier League and the FA Cup, and even won England this season. The title of super top scorer, excellent physical condition, strong front impact, and more comprehensive scoring means, the current Drogba is still unstoppable.
And Drogba's front-court helper Kalu will still give support to DeBarrow in the Idyvan team. Before the start of the 2006 World Cup, Kalu, who became famous in the Dutch League, almost joined the Netherlands and played for the Netherlands, but failed to make it, which also prevented Kalou from participating in the 2006 World Cup. Kalu, who has already joined the nationality of Idyva, will show his strength in the World Cup.
Colo plays for Manchester City. Toure and Yaya, who currently play for Barcelona. The two Toure brothers are also indispensable main forces in the current Idymois team, whether they have played for Arsenal for many seasons or after transferring to Manchester City this season. Toure is the main force in the team's central defender position. After training in the Premier League for many seasons, he has grown into the core of the Idyvan defense line. He is in excellent physical condition and has excellent speed and flexibility.
Brother Yaya. Toure also has excellent physical fitness, but he is taller, but he does not lose his delicate foot skills. Yaya is in charge of the back waist position. Toure is tall and has long legs. As a midfield barrier, he protects the team's defense, but he does not lose his scoring ability. He has a good ability to drive and break through. He has performed many wonderful scoring scenes after several people in a row. This season, Yaya. Although Toure is only a substitute in the Barcelona team, he is still an important member of the team.
After being kicked out of the 2008 European Cup by Digan, Portugal returned to the world stage. In this World Cup European qualifier, Portugal's start was not ideal and was suppressed by Denmark, which performed well in this group, with the last few rounds and After the counterattack, Portugal finally won the second place in the group and had to participate in the play-offs. In the two rounds of home and away play-offs against Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bosnia and Herzegovina frequently shot dangerously, and Portugal, accompanied by good luck, successfully advanced successfully.
Head coach Queiroz trained Figo and Rui during his tenure as the head coach of the Portuguese youth team in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Costa is represented by the Portuguese golden generation.
Since then, he has twice served as Ferguson's assistant coach at Manchester United, which has also been a great success. Many of Manchester United's training, technical and tactical arrangements were made by Queiroz. During this period, he also coached Real Madrid, which was full of superstars, and left early due to the team's collapse in the late league.
This is the second time that Queiroz has become the head coach of the Portuguese national team. In the World Cup qualifiers, although Portugal's offensive firepower is fierce, the situation of scoring has not been improved.
Kimuro is undoubtedly the most eye-catching star in Portugal. After joining Real Madrid at the highest price of a record player last summer, Kimuro still continued his excellent state during Manchester United. His excellent physical condition, outstanding personal ability and comprehensive scoring methods have been difficult. Delineating whether Kim Mauro is a winger or a striker may be more conducive to his free activities in the midfield, but it is undeniable that his performance in the national team is much inferior to his performance in the club.
In the winger position, there are many breakthroughs in the Portuguese array. The existence of Simão and Nani allows Portugal to still make a big deal on the sidelines.
Especially the young player Nani, the new Portuguese idol currently playing for Manchester United was introduced by Lafayette as the successor of Golden Retrius. Although his performance in the first season is only average, considering that Golden Retrius also played soy sauce for more than half a year in the first season when he joined Manchester United, Nani's future is worth looking forward to. .
In Group G, Brazil is undoubtedly the absolute king. At the same time, Brazil is also the only team that has not missed any World Cup finals, and Brazil, which has won five times, is the team that has won the most championships in the World Cup. Brazil's goal this time is bound to be the championship.
In the South American qualifier stage of this World Cup, Brazil successfully qualified as the first place in the qualifiers, and was also the team with the most goals and the least conceded goals. Under the leadership of the steady coach Dunga, Brazil changed its previous gorgeous offensive football style and replaced it with a sharp counterattack on the basis of solid defense. Although Brazil's slightly conservative tactics are controversial, the effect is quite ideal.
Brazil's mid-front court stars gathered on the 2006 World Cup, but the team failed to break through Belgium's test. In order to win the World Cup successfully, defense is indispensable. Dunga, who once helped Brazil win the 1994 World Cup as a captain, pays attention to the balance between attack and defense and picks. The selection of the national football team is not based on reputation. Many players who were far away from the national team and played for non-big clubs have been called up by Dunga, while Ronaldinho, Ronaldo and other former superstars in declining status have completely lost their hopes of participating in the World Cup in South Africa.
Positioning ball and sharp counterattack have become the main scoring methods of Deng Brazil at present. When getting a free throw or free kick, Brazil, which has a number of positioning ball players, has rich positioning ball scoring methods, and when it gets a counterattack opportunity, the midfield A good attacker with both speed and technology will launch a sharp counterattack, a fatal blow.
At present, this Brazilian team seems to be quite civilian. Many players in the main lineup do not play for European giant clubs, but this Brazilian team has much stronger tactical discipline than before.
The appearance of Cesar makes the position of Brazil's main goalkeeper no suspense, Tiago. Silva's presence also gives Brazil more security for its frontal defense. Due to the presence of the two top right-wingers, Macon and Alves, Brazil's attack on the right side is quite fierce.
The midfield is still the most anticipated part of the Brazilian team, and the offensive combination of Kaka, Fabiano and Robinho has taken on the heavy responsibility of Brazil's siege.
Kaka is undoubtedly the most anticipated star in the Brazilian team at present. After a limited time in the 2002 World Cup and a mediocre performance in the 2006 World Cup, Kaka ushered in the opportunity to prove himself again.
During his six years with AC Milan, Kaka has gradually grown into the top star in today's football world. In 2007, Kaka became the double winner of the European Golden Globe Award and the World Footballer of the Year.
After joining Real Madrid this season, Kaka's performance did not meet the expectations of the fans due to injuries and not fully adapting to the new environment. However, in Brazil, Kaka is the number one star. The long-distance attack is Kaka's specialty, and Brazil's current defensive counterattack tactics are quite considerable. Suitable for Kaka's performance, Kaka's speed advantage with excellent disk technology is also quite obvious. Kaka's iconic large-step high-speed ball, waiting for the opportunity to score the ball or scoring in person is an important scoring method on the offensive end of Brazil.
Brazil's front line has always been star-shining, but Fabiano seems to be slightly lacking in starry, but it is Denga's first choice on the front line, and Fabiano is also living up to his mission. In the national team, Fabiano maintains a fairly high scoring rate and currently has an extremely stable main position in the Brazilian team.
Fabiano, who has played for five seasons in Seville, is a late player. It was not until recent seasons that he was able to gain a foothold in the national team with his excellent performance in La Liga. His rough career has made Fabiano, who is about to turn 30 years old, really mature.
Fabiano's ability to seize opportunities in front of the door is quite outstanding, which is exactly the type of forward that Brazil urgently needs.
Robinio became famous at a young age. After Santos became famous, Robinio was able to join Real Madrid. After several seasons at Real Madrid, Robinio unexpectedly joined the newly rising Manchester City, but Robinio's performance in the Premier League was good and bad, lacking continuity. In order to get more playing time, Robinho returned to Santos in the middle of the season.
Robinho's disc tape technique with an excellent sense is excellent, but it is slightly fancy, lacks practicality, and the state lacks stability, but his talent is unquestionable. His outstanding personal ability and extremely spiritual improvisation make Robinho occupy a place in the Brazilian main lineup.
In this group, Brazil will undoubtedly be a big hit in the end. Portugal is in the lead in the competition for the second qualifying place, but it cannot ignore the existence of North Korea and Cote d'Ivoire, saying that this group is a dead group, which is well-deable.
Group H: This group includes the European Cup runner-up Spain, professional spoiler Switzerland, civilian team Honduras and the re-emerging Chile.
After missing the 2006 World Cup, Spain finally returned. After Caragones left the team, the new Bosc completely inherited the mantel of Caragones. Pursuing the perfect unity of technology and record is the ultimate goal of this gorgeous Spain. In addition to winning the game, he also hopes to play Beautiful football, but the gap between ideal and reality is quite large. Spain, which has reached the World Cup finals 11 times before, has never entered the World Cup finals. Spain's record on the World Cup field is tragic, although the star Jiji often easily qualified in the World Cup qualifiers is also frequently regarded as winning The championship is popular, but Spain has never achieved an ideal record in the World Cup, and it has become a common practice for **'s Bullring to leave early.
The 2006 World Cup qualifiers were ruthlessly blocked from the finals by Belgium, which appeared in advance. The matadors could only watch others compete on the stage of the World Cup that summer, and nothing happened to them.
In Euro 2008, Spain successfully reached the final with a convincing performance and was won the championship by its old enemy Belgium.
However, the experience in the European Cup has greatly changed Spain's previous fragile psychology. The team plays more calmly and confidently. At present, Spain is the most popular team in the world football. In the European qualifiers of the World Cup, Spain and Belgium were divided into a group and lost two games. Ranks second in the group, and can only advance to the World Cup after defeating Greece through the play-offs.
However, in the following series of warm-up games, Spain, which advocates offense and focuses on ball control, frequently wins easily. Now Spain plays the most pleasing and beautiful football, and is also constantly winning.
Because Barcelona, Seville, Valencia and other clubs have been paying attention to the training of young players for many years, with the emergence of a large number of excellent players of the right age, Spain is now really in the harvest season. At present, Spain's tactics and playing methods have a deep impression of Barcelona and Valencia. However, Barcelona and Valencia players constitute the main framework of the current Spain. Dexterity, delicacy and focus on ball control are the obvious characteristics of the current Spain.
It is not an overstatement to say that the current team is the best Spanish national team in history, and Spain has also ushered in the best opportunity to win the World Cup.
At present, Spain is full of stars on all lines, and the main positions of Torres and Villa are unshakable on the front line. It is the luck of Spain to have Torres and Villa, two hot top strikers in today's football, but it is the misfortune of other teams.
In the midfield, Spain is even more powerful. The presence of Harvey, Iniesta, Silva and other passing masters allows Spain to control the ball at will, and even Fabregas is difficult to squeeze into the starting lineup, which shows the superior strength of Spain's midfield.
As long as you don't meet your old enemy Belgium early, Spain should be able to go further in this World Cup.
The Swiss team played a disruptor in several competitions they participated in. In the 2006 World Cup, Switzerland and France were in the same group. In the end, Switzerland beat France. Switzerland, which qualified as the top of the group, lost to Ukraine, and Switzerland failed to break into the quarterfinals.
In this World Cup qualifiers, Switzerland did not have a strong team in the group, but Switzerland's start was not ideal. Then Switzerland made timely adjustments and finally beat Greece in the same group. Switzerland successfully qualified as the first place in the qualifier group.
Swiss head coach Heathfield can be said to be famous. During his coaching Dortmund and Bayern Munich, Heathfield has won the Champions League. In the Bundesliga, Heathfield has led Dortmund and Bayern Munich to win the Bundesliga championship seven times, with extremely rich Teaching experience.
In the middle and frontcourt of Switzerland, there are many powerful stars. Due to their proximity to Germany, many Swiss players have played in the Bundesliga. Swiss players are also active in Serie A, Premier League, Dutch League and other leagues, including many of whom are well known by fans.
In the 2006 World Cup, Senderos, the main centre-back, performed well. In the 2010 World Cup European qualifiers, Senderos was still the main central defender in Switzerland.
The strong Sendros has obvious air advantages, but its shortcomings are also quite prominent. He turns slowly, has rough feet, is slightly reckless and makes frequent mistakes. He can often see scenes of him being teased by the opponent's attacking players. The unstable performance makes it difficult for Sendros to play the main force in Arsenal, and then loaned The experience of playing with AC Milan and Everton is also unsuccessful. Due to injuries and his own bad state, Senderos has little playing time this season, but it can't affect his position in the national team.
This is the second time that Honduras has been shortlisted for the World Cup finals. Honduras' last participation dates back to the 1982 Spanish World Cup. In the North American qualifiers of the World Cup, Honduras's qualifying process was quite thrilling. Due to the ideal opening of Costa Rica's poor performance in the second half, finally Costa failed to win in a round of qualifiers, so Costa Rica had to give up its World Cup tickets to Honduras, and finally lost to Uruguay's Costa Rica in the play-offs to miss the World Cup in South Africa.
In the current Honduran team, a number of players have become famous in the European League, and these stars who play in the European league form the main framework of Honduras.
At present, the most familiar player among fans in Honduras is undoubtedly Palacios. After only one year of playing for Wigan Athletic, Palacios quickly conquered the Premier League and attracted the attention of Manchester United and many other big clubs, but in the end Palacios joined Tottenham Hotspur.
Palacios is in excellent physical condition. He is quite active in running on the court. He has a fierce ball style and excellent steal ability. At the same time, Palacios also has a good ability to participate in the attack. In the midfield, Palacios can provide considerable help to his team.
Chile can be called a powerful team in world football. After the pain after the retirement of Susa, Chile finally returned to the stage of the World Cup. In the South American qualifiers of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, it is not surprising that Brazil qualified as the first place, but ranked second. Chile is quite unexpected. After all 18 rounds of qualifiers, Chile scored only one goal less than Brazil, which scored the most goals, which is not difficult to explain why Chile successfully qualified.
After the mad coach Berta became the head coach of Chile and the emergence of a group of excellent age-age players, Chile has taken on a new look. After appearing in the 1998 World Cup, Chile was absent from the 2002 and 2006 World Cups in a row, but under the leadership of Bersa, Chile was convincing Successfully qualified.
It is worth mentioning that due to the generally short height of Chilean players, especially on the defensive line, Chile has a lot of hidden dangers in preventing high-altitude balls. However, in the midfield and frontcourt, due to the presence of many talented players who have gained a firm foothold in the European League, Chile's performance on the offensive end is still quite valuable. Looking forward to it.
Among them, the most favored is the short Sanchez. This short-footed tiger is very flexible and is good at breaking through the opponent's defense line with skilled foot technology and outstanding speed. The coiling and explosive power are quite excellent. In the Udinese array, the importance of Sanchez is becoming increasingly prominent, and in the south of 2010 In the non-World Cup South American qualifiers, Sanchez got a lot of opportunities and scored three goals. In Chile, Sanchez's main activity is in the winger position. Since he is only 21 years old, Sanchez's future growth space, which has attracted the attention of many big clubs, is still quite worthy of being optimistic.
The curtain of the World Cup has been opened, the giants have completed the final assembly, and the game is about to begin. People are waiting to see who will become the new generation of hegemon in world football.
