Chapter 359 The Complex Situation of Group G
Li Yu's injury has finally recovered. Of course, behind the magical recovery, Li Yu's points are as much as 12,000 points. Today, he is finally in the mood to watch the games of other teams.
Jenny's little bird lies on Li Yu's chest. For women, the game is absolutely not important, and the man's mind that she can rely on is the most critical.
Li Yu watched the match between the Netherlands and Cameroon. Before the first half was over, he found Jenny's even breathing, and the little girl fell asleep.
She lowered her head and kissed Jenny's forehead. These days, thanks to Jenny's care, the little girl seemed to be really tired.
If Li Yu of the Huaxia Hong Kong team is not injured, she will not have a separate hotel suite to keep them warm. Now Li Yu's injury is recognized as not too serious, and she can play in the last round of the group stage.
The match against Portugal completely proved this point. Li Yu's injury is almost healed. Some media even suspect that the mask worn by Li Yu is completely confusing the opponent, making the opponent think that he is seriously injured and taking it lightly.
Everything was said, and the Huaxia Hong Kong team did not respond again.
They haven't figured out the whole thing yet. What should they say? No one believes it even if you say it!
The game was quite wonderful, but Li Yu was afraid of waking Jenny up, so she adjusted her voice very low and tried to control herself not to be too excited.
In the 36th minute, Van Persie took the lead for the Netherlands. In the 65th minute, Van der Fart's handball in the penalty area and Eto'o's penalty equalized. In the 83rd minute, Robben hit the middle post and Huntelaar made a make-up shot.
Cameroon is still destined to be eliminated.
The Netherlands won the first place in the group after winning all three games.
Recently, there has been a lot of controversy about the "sexy" of the Netherlands. Perhaps you can say that this Netherlands is not as beautiful as the classic Netherlands in history. But in Li Yu's eyes, this Netherlands is more terrible than those in history! From the World Cup qualifiers to the World Cup group stage, the Netherlands has played with 11 wins in 11 games, scoring 22 goals and conceding only 3 goals! It is no exaggeration to say that the Dutch team has shown their blue fangs, and they are going for the championship.
In the World Cup qualifiers, the Dutch team's grouping situation was not particularly good. In the same group, there were Norway, Scotland, Macedonia and Iceland. Although the Dutch team did not raise a big score like the Netherlands when facing teams at the level of Iceland, the Netherlands is very stable with 8 wins in 8 games, scoring 17 goals and conceding only 2 goals. A philosophy that Van Malvik instilled in the Netherlands is to make sure to win first. If you can be beautiful, you will be beautiful. If you can't be beautiful, you must first make sure to win.
This philosophy of the Dutch team has been brought into the World Cup. In the three group games of the Dutch team, they did not play enthusiastically as before, but while emphasizing the balance of attack and defense, they should pay attention not giving their opponents a chance. The Netherlands defeated Denmark 2-0 in the first game and Japan 1-0 in the second game. In the last game, under the premise of no need to win, they still defeated Cameroon 2-1. Win all three battles!
In the pragmatic Netherlands, Li Yu can only summarize it in this way. It is not as gorgeous as before, but the results are better than before. The pragmatic Dutch football is quite terrible. In the same second half, Li Yu also has a purpose in watching this game. It is very likely that after advancing to the knockout stage, the following opponents may appear in the Dutch team. Now Group G is the largest qualification for the first place in Brazil and China Hong Kong, but Brazil has to kowtow to Portugal in the last round, so the qualification for the first place in China Hong Kong is the largest in the eyes of the outside world.
The first place is out, and the Huaxia Hong Kong team beats the second place over the other boy. It will face the Dutch team, that is, the 8 to 4 game.
The strength level of Dutch players is very good, and it is quite average. There are no weak links. If you have to find it, the defensive line is slightly weaker, but the gap will not be too big. When the World Cup comes to the knockout match, there is no weak team at all, and the field is a hard battle.
It is necessary to point out that historically, the Dutch team reached the World Cup finals eight times before 2010. Among them, 1934 and 1938 were eliminated in the first round. Since 1974, the Netherlands has never won all three games in the group stage in six World Cups!
In 1974, the Netherlands with Cruyff was considered the strongest team in the world, but that team was only 2 wins and 1 draw in the group stage; in 1978, the Netherlands won the runner-up, but only 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss in the group stage; the Netherlands was absent twice in 1982 and 1986; Italy in 1990 In the World Cup, the Dutch team had a sluggish record in the group stage, with three draws, but it was lucky to qualify as the third place with better results, and was eliminated by the Germans in the 1/8 final. In the 1994 World Cup, the Dutch team won 2 and lost 1 in the group stage, and it was a little embarrassing to lose to Belgium in the first round. In the 1998 World Cup, the Netherlands The team's group stage was 1 win and 2 draws. Although it beat South Korea 5-0, it was forced by Mexico and Belgium. In the 2002 World Cup, the Netherlands was absent. In the 2006 World Cup, the Netherlands won 2 wins and 1 draw in the group stage. Although it defeated Serbia and Herzegovina and C. D. D. D. D. A draw with Argentina led to the second place in the group, the 1/8 final Eliminated by Portugal.
It can be seen that the three-game victory in the group stage is an achievement that the Netherlands has never achieved before in the history of the World Cup. Even in the Cruyff era, the Three Musketeers era, and the Hiddink era, the Dutch team did not do this. What's more, today's Dutch team also has a record of winning the qualifiers and group matches. It is no exaggeration to say that in terms of the World Cup record, this is the most powerful Dutch team in 76 years!
Which team can win the qualifiers and group matches? Stronger than Spain, they also lost in the group stage; stronger than Brazil, the qualifiers were not all-win! In fact, the group situation of the Dutch team is not very good. At least, compared with Italy, France and other teams, the Dutch team's group opponents Denmark, Cameroon, Japan and other teams are even stronger in terms of hard power. However, in the face of the more pragmatic and controlled football in the Netherlands, these opponents have not made a big wave, and the Dutch exit can almost be described as "bloodless". This also makes the Dutch team not consume too much strength, so the Netherlands is more worth looking forward to after entering the knockout match.
Before the World Cup, the world often ignored the Netherlands when predicting the World Cup championship. Isn't it? As of April, in the polls of European football, 220,000 people voted for the champion, and the Netherlands only got 3.72% of the votes, less than 1/3 of Italy. But now, if we do another survey, what will the support rate of the Dutch team be? Robben said well: "We don't care if people say we are beautiful or not. We came to South Africa to fight for the championship!"
In another game that started at the same time, Li Yu did not watch it. Japan defeated the Danish team 3:1 and won the right to qualify as the second in the group.
In this game, Arsenal's god Tarben Turner continued to lead the Trident. Romedall and Tomarson instigated on both wings. Carenborg replaced veteran Glenshar to start, Krolldrup replaced the suspended Kyle and Agger to defend, and Sorensen guarded the door. The lineup of the Japanese team has not changed from the previous battle. It is led by Keisuke Honda, the captain Makoto Hasebe sits in the midfield, and Nagashi Kawashima guards the gate.
Denmark defeated Cameroon 2-1 in the second game, won the first victory of the World Cup, and rekindled hope. Japan lost 0-1 to the Netherlands, with 1 win, 1 loss and 3 points in two games. Due to the advantage of goal difference, Japan can join hands with the Netherlands to qualify from this group as long as it draws with Denmark in the last round. The two teams have only played one game in history, and Denmark narrowly defeated Japan 3-2 in a friendly match in 1971.
It was supposed to be a close match, but who would have thought that there would be a big score.
In the 17th minute, Honda Keisuke scored with a free kick 30 yards away. In the 30th minute, Yasuhito Endo took a free kick 26 yards away. In the 81st minute, Tomasson scored one point. In the 87th minute, Shinji Okazaki sealed the victory.
The second Asian team to advance in the World Cup was born!
Japan defeated Denmark and advanced to the top 16, which also made Japan the second Asian team to enter the top 16 in this World Cup after South Korea. Coincidentally, the last time two Asian teams jointly advanced to the top 16, which was also completed by South Korea and Japan. In 2002, South Korea advanced to the top four and Japan advanced to the top 16. The strong promotion of the two Asian teams to the top 16 is also a powerful counterattack to FIFA's desire to reduce the number of places in the AFC World Cup.
However, they all qualified as the second place in the group, but it seems to be a little convincing. Now there is another hope for Asia, that is, the Huaxia Hong Kong team. They have the first hope of winning the group, which is the recognized leader of Group G of the Group of Death. No one will be optimistic about putting South Korea or Japan in Group G. There is still a possibility, but the Chinese Hong Kong team did this, with a draw with Brazil in the first game and a second victory over Portugal.
South Korea and Japan are now celebrating all over the country, so what is the celebration waiting for the Chinese Hong Kong team to qualify for the first place?
Asian celebration, right?
That's really an Asian celebration. It's the first in the group. What a strange word. Who can do this in an Asian team?
The media is still describing the greatness of Japan and South Korea. A day later, these words seem to be paving the way for the Chinese Hong Kong team.
Chinese people all over the world are paying attention to the last round of Group G.
The two games will be played at the same time, and whether the first in the group will be announced at the same time.
Li Yu took Jenny to the bedroom, washed herself, and went to bed early. Tomorrow's game will be very important. Li Yu is forcing herself to sleep. Whether she can sleep or not, he also lies down and has a rest and completes the last treatment by the way.
The special treatment plan for light brain was completed just the day before the last round of the game, which is very good. Finally, there is no need to wear that mask to the game.
Closed her eyes, Li Yu began her last treatment...
The game will be held in the local afternoon in South Africa. In the morning, the Huaxia Hong Kong team did not have any training. This time, the teams of the World Cup in South Africa are complaining about one thing. The distance between the games is too far. Many teams are complaining that they have no time to rest, and a lot of time is spent on running back and forth.
This is very similar to the two games a week in Europe, and it is also two back-to-back away games. Of course, you will be tired, and some teams will still play like this. Of course, they will complain about the chaos of the field.
Huaxia Hong Kong played three games and came to three stadiums in South Africa. It is also one of the teams that go back and forth.
However, they are in good shape and in a good mood today. Li Yu took off her mask and greeted every team warmly at breakfast.
A Li Yu, who has completed the recovery, makes all the players of the Chinese Hong Kong team feel confident!
Erickson is the same. The miracle of God. The Swedes have completely believed that this is a miracle. What Li Yu's injury is like. The old man naturally knows it, but in just a few days, Li Yu has recovered. It's not God's miracle.
With this feeling, Erickson also believes that the team he leads will continue to go on. What is the first place in the group? The old Swedish man believes that the Chinese Hong Kong team can not only win the first place in the group, but also go further. In the World Cup football field, it can also create a miracle.
Ghana has reached the top 16. Will I Cote d'Ivoire become the second African team in the top 16? The British Daily Mirror calculated that there is only theoretical hope for Idywa's promotion, and the "probability will not exceed 1%". They are faced with an impossible task: first of all, Brazil will help defeat Portugal, and they will win the Huaxia Hong Kong team with a huge score.
After two games, the Huaxia Hong Kong team has scored 4 points, holding a goal difference, while the I'Ivoire has 1 point, a goal difference of -2. In order to advance, in addition to Cite d'Ivoire's victory over China Hong Kong and Brazil's victory over Portugal, so that the points are the same, they also need to equalize the goal difference of up to 3 goals with China's Hong Kong. Long after losing the game to Brazil, the head coach of IIvoire had expected that "the goal difference may become the key to the group's qualifying", but who would have thought that Portugal would lose to China Hong Kong in the next game, "the only way to defeat China Hong Kong is to the African elephants."
"There is another game, and we will try our best to achieve our goal." Defender DeMer insisted that the "African Elephant" still has the hope of promotion. "The game is not over yet." Idymois players have not lost confidence in promotion, and at least part of the hope of promotion is still in their own hands.
What is even more troublesome for Idymois is that it only scored one goal in the first two games, which shows that there is a problem with the attack power of "African elephants". Despite scoring a goal against Brazil, the number one striker Drogba's arm injury still had a considerable impact on his performance, and his forward partners Kalou, Gourvigno and Dindane obviously did not help. Defender Colo Toure said: "We didn't seize the opportunity in the first two games, and even made too many mistakes on the attack line. In the game against Hong Kong, we can't make any more mistakes. First of all, we have to seize every opportunity to score."
Maybe the African elephants thought it was quite good, but they forgot one. Is it so easy to win against Brazil and the Hong Kong team of China over Portugal?
The media didn't say anything. Nowadays, the weakest team in Group G is nothing else, but Cote d'Ivoire.
The life of another team, Portugal, is not much better. If Brazilians want to advance, now it seems that they have to get at least 1 point to be insured. Will Brazil still release water like this?
Obviously, it is unlikely. If the Portuguese want to win, the Brazilians will at least have a draw. The situation of each other in the last round of Group G is already obvious. No one can relax. Everyone has the hope of promotion. Group of Death is also the most chaotic group.
The match between Brazil and Portugal has not yet begun, and the war of words between the two sides has begun. Cristiano Ronaldo said that he would "fight to death" Brazil. Brazilian captain Lucio also showed a fearless attitude: "C Ronaldo is not a terrible striker, and he even feels that there is nothing terrible at all. We are a team that has experienced hundreds of battles. We are not afraid of our opponents, and we are not worried about Portugal's captain Cristiano Ronaldo. He has just ended the 16-month national team goal shortage in the game against the Chinese Hong Kong team, so we are not worried about how powerful he is. From this time on, we will not lose the ball. Brazil will still play the game in the 'samba style'.
Lucio said that the Brazilian team will not send someone to guard Cristiano Ronaldo. As we all know, Cristiano Ronaldo is a great star. He has had many brilliant moments in his career. He has an extraordinary talent as a striker and a keen sense of smell in front of the goal, and has scored a lot of goals. But I believe that there is no need to send someone to take special care of him. Portugal is a team fighting, not alone. In a football match, you can't win by staring at an opponent's striker. The important thing is that the whole team has to work together to win the game.
"I-oriented" is the theme repeatedly emphasized by Lucio. He said: "No matter who I face, I don't want to change the way I play. No matter whether the opponent is Cristiano Ronaldo or a great star, I will still do everything I should do. Being able to play with a strong team on the court is always full of motivation, because this It will be a great game. I think the Brazilian team should be faithful to its own style, so that it can defeat the Portuguese team with Cristiano Ronaldo and even more powerful teams.
Why is the smell of gunpowder so strong before the two teams start the game?
There is no need to say much about the strength of Brazil, "European Brazil" Portugal. The same language makes the two countries look like brothers from each other, but the history of bloody and tearful colonization makes them love and hate intertwined. In the 1966 World Cup in England group stage, Eusibio's Portugal defeated Pele's Brazil 3-1, and the defending Samba Legion was out of the game, which was the old enemy. In the warm-up match in November 2008, Kaka's Brazil swept Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal 6-2, which was a new hatred. The two heroes of Brazil and Portugal sharpen their knives and guns, and a revenge war is imminent!
Since the 1994 World Cup, Brazil has won the final three times and twice, and entered its second heyday after the Pele era. Portuguese football in this century has also entered the golden age. The "Golden Generation" led Portugal to the final week of the competition and won the runner-up in the 2004 European Cup and the 2006 World Cup. The battle between Brazil and Portugal has attracted a lot of attention. Who is the winner of the world's first and third original samba and European Brazil?
Eusebio, the protagonist who brewed a feud 44 years ago, stood up for the war. "I can't say that this Portugal is stronger than Brazil now. Brazil has won five world championships and has excellent players. But it is also difficult to say who is better. It is difficult to compare between Brazil and Portugal, and something unexpected is likely to happen. The Durban Stadium can accommodate 70,000 spectators. The tickets for the first match between Brazil and Portugal were sold out four months ago, and now the black market price of tickets has risen to 1,200 euros. The battle between Brazil and Portugal will be broadcast in 3D in some cinemas of the two countries. Before the game, the generals of both sides spoke cautiously and avoided predicting the results. The media of the two countries also believed that neither of them had a clear advantage.
