Chapter 345 It's not difficult to compare

Almost a day has passed, and many people are concerned about Li Yu's injury. There is no definite news that what happened to Li Yu's injury?

This is not only a concern for fans around the world, but also the news that people who follow the World Cup want to know at the first time.

The Huaxia Hong Kong team has been blocking any injury news, whether it is good or bad!

I don't know, so I can only wait. The second round of the group stage is about to begin. Can Li Yu appear?

After Spain's match, it was followed by the first match in the second round of the group stage, South Africa vs. Uruguay.

South Africa was tied 1-1 by Mexico in the opening match of the World Cup. Mufera finally shot the middle post and missed a good start. Uruguay also drew 0-0 with the French team, which had no fighting spirit in the first game. At present, the four teams in Group A have only one point and are on the same starting line. This game is very critical for both sides. The two teams have played two games in history. South Africa is at a disadvantage with 1 draw and 1 loss. The latest match was in a friendly match in 2007, when South Africa shook hands with Uruguay 0-0.

In this battle, Pereira still sacrificed Mufera's single arrow. Modise and the first ball hero Shabarara swam on both wings. Pinar continued to take on the responsibility of organizing the attack. Captain Mokona sat in the defense, and Kune guarded the gate. On the Uruguay side, Fran continues to partner with Suarez, Perez sits in the midfield, Lugano leads the defense, and Muslera guards the gate.

All of them got a draw. Originally, they thought it would be a fierce game, but the final result was one-sided.

10 South Africa lost 0-3 to Uruguay. In the 24th minute, Fran scored 35 meters away. In the 80th minute, goalkeeper Cuane put down Suarez in the penalty area and was sent off with a red card. Fran calmly scored a penalty and scored twice. Uruguay scored another goal in stoppage time.

The host South Africa is on the line, and the last group match can only be played with France.

With Fran's two goals and A-Pereira's goal, Uruguay easily defeated the host South Africa 3-0. This victory also made their qualifying situation a good one, which was also Uruguay's first victory in the World Cup finals since the 1990 World Cup.

As a two-time World Cup winner, Uruguay is a veteran strong team. In the first World Cup in 1930, Uruguay defeated Argentina 4-2 in the final at home to win the cup. The 1934 World Cup was hosted by Italy. In retaliation for most European countries' refusal to participate in the first World Cup, Uruguay also voluntarily refused the World Cup, which made them lose their defending title. Military opportunity. In the 1950 World Cup came to Brazil, Uruguay and the host reached the final. Finally, under the gaze of 220,000 spectators, Uruguay defeated its opponent 2-1 and reached the top of the world for the second time.

Since winning the championship in 1950, Uruguayan football has never won the World Cup. The team in 1954 and 1970 has been their best results so far. Uruguay reached the top eight in the 1966 World Cup in England, but with the 1986 World Cup and the 1990 World Cup After entering the top 16 in a row, Uruguayan football completely fell into a dark period: they missed the finals in the 1994 and 1998 World Cups. In 2002, they were eliminated in three group matches, and the 2006 World Cup lost to Hiddink's Australia in the play-offs.

In this World Cup qualifiers, Uruguay's record was not very good, especially in the last round of competition with Argentina for direct qualifying rights. As a result, the result of 0-1 defeat allowed them to only get the fifth place in South America, and finally passed the play-offs with Costa Rica. I got a ticket to South Africa. After a 0-0 draw with France in the first round of the group stage, Uruguay finally won a 3-0 victory in the second round. Since defeating South Korea 1-0 in the 1990 World Cup group stage, Uruguay has finally won another victory in the World Cup finals.

For the current Uruguay team, they have two top scorers, Fran and Suarez, on the front line. In particular, the former has also won European gold boots and led Atletico Madrid to win the UEFA Europa League last season. In addition, Uruguay's midfield is also full of talents, including a loan from Barcelona to Juventus. Cáceres, including Fran, Suárez and Cáceres, has 14 players in the mainstream European leagues in Uruguay. Such a team should not be underestimated in terms of their personal ability and tactical literacy. It is no exaggeration to call them the strongest national team in 20 years.

Now Uruguay is also facing a big opportunity to break the 90-year World Cup record. After defeating South Africa in this round, they have scored 4 points in the first two games. Once they beat Mexico in the last round, Uruguay is likely to qualify as the top of the group, so that they can avoid the most likely to win the first place in Group B. Argentina, whether it is South Korea or Nigeria, Uruguay will have the confidence and strength to win the 1/8 final. In this way, they can at least equal the top eight record of the 1966 World Cup.

After losing 0-3 to Uruguay, the host South Africa only got 1 point in the first two rounds. Now their qualifying situation is precarious. There is only a theoretical possibility to reach the 1/8 final, especially their last opponent is France, which makes South Africa's hope of scoring even more difficult. It is the first small in the history of the World Cup. I'm afraid that the eliminated host of the group will be born.

Since the first World Cup in 1930, there has never been a host team in history that has not qualified in the group: in 1930, the host Uruguay won the championship; in 1934, the host Italy won the championship, and France won the eighth place in 1938. Since then, due to the suspension of the World War II World Cup, since the resumption of the World Cup in 1950, Brazil, the host of the World Cup, won the runner-up in 1950, Switzerland won the fifth place in 1954, Sweden won the second place in 1958, Chile won the third place in 1962, and England won the championship in 1966. Mexico won the sixth in 1970, Germany and Argentina in 1974 and 1978 respectively, Spain won the 12th place in 1982, Mexico won the 6th place in 1986, Italy won the third place in 1990, and the United States won the 14th and 199th in 1994. France won the championship in eight years, South Korea and Japan won the fourth and ninth place respectively in 2002, and Germany won the third place in 2006.

But this time, South Africa wants to break the practice that the host of the World Cup must qualify in the group. They are likely to bid farewell to the Cup with a dismal record of three games, and the title of "weak host in history" deserves to be worthy of it. However, former President Mandela has tried several times to help South Africa win the right to host the World Cup. His main purpose is not to give the team good results, but to improve the economic development of his country and even Africa, so that the world can know more about the mysterious African continent. In fact, for South Africa, hosting the World Cup itself means success.

First of all, since the successful bid for the World Cup in 2004, the South African government has invested more than $2.7 billion in infrastructure construction. According to experts, these infrastructure can contribute nearly $700 million in GDP to South Africa this year, and Large-scale infrastructure construction has effectively driven the growth of GDP. Before the international financial crisis, South Africa's economy continued to grow for nine years, among which the infrastructure construction carried out due to the World Cup was indispensable.

Secondly, it effectively relieves the pressure of social employment. It is understood that in the three years from 2007 to 2010 alone, World Cup-related projects have provided about 130,000 jobs for the people of South Africa, which has effectively alleviated the socio-economic problems in South Africa and reduced the occurrence of crimes such as robbery and theft to a certain extent.

In addition, the World Cup has driven the development of South Africa's economy. According to the prediction of the International Monetary Fund, the World Cup will bring a 0.5% growth rate to the South African economy. In addition, a large number of fans from all over the world will pour into South Africa, which also directly drives the development of local tourism, accommodation, catering and transportation. It is reported that tourism alone can bring $3.1 billion to South Africa. Income.

In addition, this World Cup has also made the world know South Africa and the African continent. During the World Cup, about 26 billion people will watch the game on TV, which greatly improves the international image of South Africa and even Africa. People all over the world have recognized a brand-new South Africa and a brand-new Africa through this World Cup. And these are the real purpose of hosting the World Cup in South Africa.

Anyway, the second round is not as dull as the first round. At the beginning, all teams can still be conservative, but when it comes to the second round, many teams are no longer conservative.

Argentina and South Korea, the two teams that won the first round of Group B, met in the second round of the group stage. Everyone wants to qualify in advance, and the game will not be dull.

Before the first round of the confrontation between the two sides, Argentina defeated the African Eagles Nigeria 1-0, while South Korea performed well, defeating the European team Greece 2-0. Since both sides have won the first game, whoever can win this game will basically lock a place to advance to the top 16. Argentina and South Korea have had three confrontations in history, and Argentina has been unbeaten with 2 wins and 1 draw. In the 1984 friendly match, Argentina and South Korea drew 2-2. In the group stage of the 1986 World Cup, Argentina defeated South Korea 3-1. In the friendly match on June 11, 2003, Argentina defeated South Korea 1-0.

Today, Argentina still has a 343 formation, with Messi, Higuain and Tevez forming a trident on the front line. Midfielders Mascherano and Maxi Rodriguez are in the middle, while Gutierrez and Di Maria are active in the wings. On the back line, Heinze, Demikelis and Samuel are lined up, and the goalkeeper is still Romero. It is worth noting that there is only one change in Argentina's starting and first game, that is, the injured Peron was replaced by Maxi Rodriguez. South Korea also set out the 451 strongest attack today. Park Joo-yong suddenly on the front line, and the midfield is led by Manchester United star Park Jixing. In addition, overseas players such as Ji Chengyong and Li Qinglong are also aware. Count in the column. On the defensive line, Li Zhengxiu, who performed well in the last game, also made his debut without any suspense, while Che Duli was replaced by Wu Fanxi.

Argentina, who won the championship, beat South Korea 4-1 at the Football City Stadium in Johannesburg, and won two games in the group stage. In the 16th minute, Messi's cross bounced into the goal on Park Joo-yong's leg; in the 33rd minute, Higuain expanded the lead. In stoppage time, Li Qinglong took advantage of Demichelis' mistake to win back a point. In the 76th and 80th minutes, Messi and Aguero assisted respectively, and Higuain completed a hat-trick.

One of the biggest highlights of the 2010 World Cup is: under Maradona, can Messi play like Maradona? This question can also be asked in another way: Can Messi change from a simple No. 9 to a No. 10 that can condense the team and lead the whole team? After two World Cup games, people found that Messi is more and more like a real No. 10. This is not only because he wears No. 10 and hits his waist, but also because he has become a leader.

In the history of the World Cup, No. 9 and No. 10 are the two most attractive numbers. No. 9, scored a goal and killed the enemy. Countless great stars have written legends against this number. In Argentine history, Batistuta is recognized as the greatest number 9 in nearly 20 years. However, although Barty has performed extremely well (he is the only player who has scored a hat-trick in two consecutive World Cups), Argentina's two World Cups in 1994 and 1998 were mediocre, one in the top 16 and one in the top 8.

It's not that No. 9 is useless, but that a team needs No. 9 and more No. 10. Kempes and Maradona, wearing No. 10 jerseys, led Argentina to win the championship, because they can not only score, but also become the team's commander. In fact, the above two people are not very productive in the World Cup. Maradona scored only 8 goals in 21 World Cup games, and Kempes scored only 6 goals in 18 games. They are far inferior to Batty's record of 10 goals in 12 games. It's just that they are leaders, and they can unite Argentina around themselves as a whole. Therefore, as heroes, they will always be recorded in the annals of history.

In the past season, Messi was No. 9. In Barcelona, he scored 34 league goals, 8 Champions League goals and 3 other goals in a season. The score rate is so high that it is jaw-dropping. But in Argentina, people want Messi not only to score goals, but also to be the leader. Argentina has Higuain, Tevez, Aguero and Milito, and has a lot of good scores. But what Argentina lacks is the leader, the descendant of Maradona. Only Messi is qualified to be this leader!

Maradona knows this, so in 433 miles in Argentina, Messi is a nominal striker, actually a front midfielder. Milan Sport invited the legendary coach Saki to analyze. Saki pointed out that Argentina's 433 is actually 4312, and Messi appeared in the front waist position, mainly responsible for connecting the whole team and creating opportunities.

A No. 10 needs to have a spirit of sacrifice. Maradona's "assisive of the century" is a clear proof. Now Messi also understands this. He no longer rushes wildly in the face of six people, but knows how to attract everyone to his side, pass the ball out and let his teammates make contributions. Who can deny that today, he intercepted Aguero's pass against six defenders, which is far better than any goal?

A No. 10 needs to be brave and firm, tough and tolerant. Maradona was knocked down as usual at the World Cup. But the old horse never got angry, but got up and continued the game. Messi encountered logging tactics today, and his opponent overturned it with a fierce shovel twice in half an hour. But he did not shrink, but continued to fight bravely in front of his opponents. In the 44th minute, although the ball he shot with three left foot came out of the goal, it was as wonderful as any goal.

A No. 10 needs to be favored and humiliated, and the team is paramount. The scene of Maradona singing in tears in the locker room was touching. Today's Messi has not scored a goal in the World Cup in two games, and even the assist data has not fallen behind. But whenever his teammates break the door, he is always the first to rush to celebrate. After the game, he laughed happily like the boy next door. He has already passed the era of brushing data, and he has already known one thing: if the team wins, you are the hero; even if you score 100 goals and the team loses, everything is meaningless!

A No. 10 needs to avoid controversy and remember everyone who has paid for his motherland football. In an interview, Messi said a sentence that touched fans all over the world. Messi said, "I hope to win the World Cup for Sanetti!"

Such a Messi is the Argentine and the Messi that fans all over the world want to see. As Messi said in an interview with Tencent Sports, his dream is not to become the protagonist of a one-man show, and his expectation is not to conquer the world on his own. The only evaluation he hopes for is "He plays well, has a good character, is caring, and he is an Argentine."

Fans who see all this will consciously make a simple comparison between Messi and Li Yu. Messi and Li Yu, who is stronger? Whether it is the 9th or the 10th, in the hearts of world fans, after watching Li Yu's World Cup premiere, they all feel that Li Yu is a team leader. He is on the court. It was the most terrible No. 9 player, and then he was injured and came off the field, but he became the real No. 10. The spiritual core of the team. Without his last entrustment, perhaps the Chinese Hong Kong team would not finally draw with the powerful Brazil to get one point.

Li Yu, C Ronaldo and Messi are the most eye-catching names before the World Cup. Now, although it is not the end yet, Li Yu is undoubtedly the best player among the three.

Excellentness is excellent, but his injury is still heart-pounding.
