Chapter 120 Mystery Revealed 3

Unlike several other groups, which need to wait for the third round to reveal the mystery, the situation in Group E is relatively clear before the third round. The Netherlands has been out early, Cameroon has been out early, and another qualifying place will be decided by direct dialogue between Denmark and Japan.

For the Danish team, there are two major tasks in the game with Japan. One is naturally to fight for victory and ensure that the team can enter the top 16, and the other is to expect the old striker Tomasson to score a goal and make him the striker with the most goals in the history of the Danish national team.

The first goal was rudely pinched by the Japanese team. The second goal was completed with great difficulty, but the process was tortuous and made people want to cry, just like a suspense film with a strong sense of drama. After so much "near", everything seemed to end in failure. At this time, the goal was scored.

Although the Japanese team played very well, today's Denmark is not without opportunities, and even a lot of opportunities, but the Danish team made a collective mistake. They can pull Bentner back and let Romedar only shoot. The purpose is to give Tomasson more opportunities to shoot.

But this paranoid approach killed Denmark and almost made Tomasson a "sinner". If you only emphasize the balls lost by Tomasen, he is actually a "sinner".

Through today's game, Tomasson became the striker who scored the most goals in the history of the Danish national team, but in the same way, he wasted too many opportunities and finally out the Danish group.

Three shots in the small penalty area, if you can hit the strength at the first time, the worst result will be high or deviation, but Tomasson is either flawed or empty, and the ball does not go into the goal at all.

Tomasson is indeed a superstar player of the current Danish national team, but the problem is that he is really old. The coordination of turning around in the penalty area is far less than before. Although he is very active, he insists to be fast and flexible in front of the Japanese, but it is easy to become a laughing stock. 34 years old Tomasson has disappointed Danish fans again and again in the face of almost readily available opportunities.

And Tomasson's iconic powerful volley has no head, either deflects or higher. Everything is developing towards such a result. Tomasson is suffering to death and score a goal without a goal.

But when the game reached the 81st minute, the opportunity finally came. Makoto Hase pushed down Agel behind the penalty area. The Danish team got a penalty opportunity. The eldest brother Tomasen was not allowed to get the penalty opportunity, but fate seemed to joke with him again. His penalty was too easy to catch the right way, and he was jumped by the little Japanese son Kawashima. Shoot it.

It seems that even God feels that there is no credit for the situation, but Tomasson, who worked hard, was too unfair and still gave him one last chance. Kawashima shot the ball. This time, Tomasson finally took action before the Japanese players. He strode up with the make-up shot and finally completed the set goal, but he tried too hard. His thigh muscles were strained, and he could only grit his teeth and persist in the last ten minutes, but it was completely useless. The Danish team basically ended up with 1011.

It can be said that for this goal, which is just a personal record, Tomasson has completely lost hope for the Danish team!

Anyway, Tomasson set a record, 52 goals, and the legendary Bohr at the beginning of the last century. Nielsen tied for the first place in Denmark, and his 112 national team appearances ranked second, 17 games less than the first Schmeichel.

It is certainly a pleasure for him to set a record that he can continuously at the end of his career, but the whole Danish team has wasted the offensive talent of other players for him. Looking back, it is really a big delay.

Denmark collectively set a record for Tomasson, while the Japanese team got the right to qualify in the group, which made the little Japanese ecstatic. After the game, Keisuke Honda, who scored the first free kick for the Japanese team, even arrogantly said: "Goal! Out of the line! I'm very happy, but not as ecstatic as I am. Our goal is still ahead. Japan's goal is to win the World Cup. That's not impossible. We just need to move forward step by step.

Defender Yuji Nakazawa was a little implicit: "I'm very happy that we have also experienced a difficult period of time, and everyone has a desire to win. It's my first time to enter the top 16 and participate in the knockout stage of the World Cup. Next, we will win one by one, hoping to enter the top 4.

Champion, the top four, obviously little Japan does not pay attention to their opponents in the first round of the next knockout, but is Italy, Slovakia, Paraguay or even New Zealand really so easy to deal with?

Okay!

The game hasn't started yet, let Little Japan YY first!

In another game played by this group at the same time, after defeating the African powerhouse Cameroon 2:1, the Dutch team won the first place in the group with a record of three wins, close to the 16 of the World Cup. This record is also the Netherlands's best group record in the team's history in the World Cup.

In this World Cup, the Netherlands defeated Denmark 2-0, Japan 1-0, Cameroon 2-1, and scored nine points in three games. In the previous World Cup, the Netherlands had never won the group stage. The group won the World Cup, and the Netherlands was alive. The first time in the world cup.

In this World Cup, the Dutch team abandoned the once gorgeous style of play, which seems to be not good-looking. There are no epoch-making superstars like Cruyff, Basten, Gullit and Ricard, but the overall strength is better, the style of play is mature, and it has achieved achievements that their predecessors have never achieved.

Although Van Malvik, the coach of the Dutch team, is not as famous as Basten, Edvokat, Hiddink and others, his simple style and steady style of play have allowed the Dutch team to achieve good results in a row.

In this game, the Dutch team has always controlled the rhythm of the game, while Cameroon is fighting for honor and has a stronger desire to win. On the contrary, the Dutch team is already preparing for the eighth final, but even so, the Dutch team's defense system is quite stable, comparable to Italy four years ago, where the Dutch are so heavy. Stability is not seen in previous games, and the players also seem to trust each other and cooperate very tacitly.

Van Malvik's tactical system is stable first. He abandoned the big deal in the previous Dutch team's games. After stabilizing its defense, the Netherlands did not pursue a single straight line as before, but used more lines to penetrate Cameroon's defense line.

This more pragmatic pass also allows the Dutch to ensure their achievements. It can be said that they have abandoned the gorgeous Netherlands. Although it has become a little ugly, it can make them go further.

Once the Dutch team played extremely gorgeously, but in the end, it could only be the embarrassing title of an uncrowned king. Previously, in the 2008 European Cup, Van Basten maintained gorgeousness while increasing defense and improving efficiency, although he was criticized by Cruyff, who was full and had nothing to do. But there is no doubt that in that European Cup, the Netherlands was the best team outside Belgium. **'s offense and strong defense made people see a different side of Tulip.

After Van Malvik took over, the Dutch team completed the transformation again, and this time they became more utilitarian and faster.

At the same time, what is more surprising is that the current Dutch team can still maintain unprecedented unity, which was unimaginable in the past.

Without factions and internal friction, all the players are closely united by Van Malvik's side. Such a Dutch team is undoubtedly extremely powerful.

After the game, Van Malvik also said: "Our first goal has been achieved. What we need to do next is to move forward. The Dutch team that becomes united will shock all its opponents. I firmly believe that we will complete a great World Cup, which is undoubtedly!"

Van Persie, the hero of this game, also said in an interview: "We played perfectly today. Of course, we can do better, but this is enough. We need to prepare for the knockout match. No matter who the opponent is, we are not afraid. All our players have something in common. Belief, this thought will always support us to move forward!"

The Netherlands advanced as the first in the group, and Cameroon, which was favored before the game, could only say goodbye with regret. As the greatest star Eto'ao in Cameroon's football history, the only memory of the World Cup in South Africa was the penalty scored against the Netherlands. Obviously, this report card is compared with his reputation. , the world is different.

When Cameroon's World Cup ended, it was immediately revealed by the media that Cameroon performed so badly in this World Cup because of the riots caused by Eto'o.

Just before the start of the World Cup, Eto'ao actually challenge the Cameroon Football Association because of the bonus, and even gathered several players to make a strike because of the failure to reach an agreement on the bonus.

"The world superstar's head is full of money and shit!"

This is a comment from an African mainstream media. Although it is a little extreme, the real situation is like this.

In the end, Cameroonians also paid a heavy price because of their disunity. In a relatively small group, Cameroonians can only lose all three games and out of the bottom of the group, which has to be said to be a great irony. And Eto'o's performance is obviously sorry for his title of world superstar.

Now, the most important question for Cameroonians should think about is whether they should choose a new leader in four years!
