Chapter 102 Unexpected and reasonable

After the first round of the group stage, the qualifying situation of each group was still in a fog, followed by the second round of the group stage. In the second round of Group A, Uruguay, which took the lead in defeating the host South Africa 3-0, and the situation was very good with four points.

In the first half, Fran's long-range shot turned into a strange deciduous ball into the net. In the second half, South African goalkeeper Cunne shoveled Suarez and was sent off by a red card. Fran hit the penalty kick, and then Alvaro. Pereira made up for the next city.

South Africa's fate was doomed long after the end of the first game, because they unexpectedly tied with the powerful Mexico, and the result was favored by Pele.

"African teams will advance to the finals."

After the king's "disaster came out of the mouth", the African brothers began to fall one after another, especially in South Africa. After the opening of the second round, they encountered a sad situation.

In front of Uruguay, South Africa was returned to its original form, with three goals conceded and a red card. The World Cup host has always been a surprising image, which is completely disappointing in South Africa.

After the draw with Mexico, South African coach Pereira was full of confidence. In an interview with reporters, he almost booked the group's qualifying rights in advance, but in front of Uruguay, Pereira seemed to have been poured cold water, and the 3:0 score ruthlessly extinguished all his enthusiasm.

South African players also seem to be too easy to win because of the draw with Mexico in the first game. Before the game, many South African players said that "win Uruguay and qualify".

But the reality is very cruel. In front of Uruguay, South Africa can't organize an effective attack at all. South Africa only shot three times in the whole game. In the first half, South Africa didn't even shoot the goal.

The game lasted 65 minutes before South Africa created the first threatening attack on Uruguay's goal. After Fran scored a penalty, many South African fans have begun to exit, and fans have lost interest in their team's performance.

After two group matches, South Africa only scored one goal and lost three goals. Now if the South African team wants to appear, it can only look at other people's faces. Or, he saw that there was only a theoretical possibility left on other people's faces. First, he would beg Mexico and France to draw, and then beat France in the last round. Under this premise, South Africa also had to pray that there would be nothing wrong in the game between Mexico and Uruguay.

In a word, the current South African team can actually say goodbye to this game. What they may leave behind is only one goal, more than three winning goals, and of course, small cards of various colors.

If France loses to Mexico next, then even if South Africa beats France in the last round, it is likely to mix with Spain in the 1998 World Cup. The players scored while wiping their tears and hugged each other at the end of the game and cried together.

The so-called theoretical emergence may soon be ruthlessly broken by the French. As former world champions, they were beaten without any help in the game against Mexico and finally lost 0:2.

The loss of the French team stemmed from their internal conflict, and what made coach Domenek more embarrassed was that his team still failed to get out of the goal drought. Two zero goals was really embarrassing for the former World Cup champion.

Before the start of the game, Domenek publicly expelled the team's striker Anelka because Anelka spoke rudely to him in the locker room.

Domenek may have intended to set an example and cheer up many big players in the team, but as a result, he overestimated his weight in the hearts of the players. This time, many players chose to stand on Anelka's side and fight against him.

The loss of the coach, coupled with the defeat in this game, made the French team's qualifying prospects bleak.

A record that embarrassed the French is continuing, that is, they have not won in the World Series. In the 2008 European Championships, they lost 2 and 1 draw in the group and returned home embarrassingly. Two years later, in the World Cup, their group still lost 1 draw and 1 loss in the first two rounds, and did not score a goal.

If France is eliminated from the World Cup, the fans of one country will celebrate, which is Ireland. They believe that France should not have appeared in the World Cup in South Africa. In the European qualifier play-offs, France relied on Henry's handball to defeat Ireland to advance. The latter once protested and asked for a rematch. In their opinion, France's World Cup qualification was stolen. Domenek's team did not deserve this seat. If it was out of the group, it should be so.

In fact, starting with the 2002 World Cup, the French team has indeed not been in line with the reputation of the strong team. The 2006 World Cup was trampled on by Belgium led by Degan, the 2008 European Championship, and South Africa advanced in a scolding World Cup qualifiers, which shows that Domenek's team is completely impossible to make peace. Compared with the masters of the dynasty around 1998-2000, Henry, Garas and other veterans have already entered the end of their careers, and the new generation of players do not have the ability to take the lead.

In this World Cup in South Africa, France was the worst World Cup champion team so far. Argentina and Germany were proud. Although Brazil's process was difficult, they got three points. England and Italy did not start well, but they also scored and got points. Uruguay in the same group got 4 points with 1 win and 1 draw. Among the seven World Cup champions, France has become one of the best.

What is puzzling is that Domenek, who should have been out of here after the defeat in the European Championship, was not fired and asked him to lead the team until today. Under the leadership of the poor coach of Guizhou, the French team has achieved such a result today, which can only be said to be a historical necessity. If the Gallic rooster wants to regain its prestige, maybe I can only pin my hopes on the new coach Blank who took office after the World Cup.

Of course, Domenek can still find an excuse for his failure. This person is Abidal. The French defender suddenly lost his mind when the team fell behind and was fighting back. He fell to the ground prematurely and gave his opponent a valuable penalty. It was this penalty that ended the game.

A similar scene also appeared in the European Championship two years ago. In the final round of the group and Italy, Abidal made a stupid foul in the penalty area. He not only sent a penalty, but also was sent off by a red card. France lost 0:2 and was out of the group. This time, Abidal lost the second round of the World Cup. The same mistake.

However, it is not only the players who should really reflect, but also Domenek. Abidal was originally a left-back, so it is inevitable for him to appear as a central defender.

The first goal the French team lost in this field, Mexico succeeded in offside. It was Abidal who dragged the French defense behind. As a central defender, the requirements are naturally different from the full-back in terms of position and the caution in the penalty area. Abidal obviously cannot fully adapt to his current position.

Two years ago, the European Championships have tested that Abidal is not suitable for playing central defenders. Why is today's World Cup so useful?

It can only be said that Domenek is stubborn to the extreme. The French team fell on the same person twice, and the coach's decision is naturally responsible. They all say "take a lot of wisdom", but obviously, Domenek may have never heard of this.

In fact, France is not without anyone else. Although Sevilla's Squilach and Bordeaux's Planus are not as famous as Abidal, they are at least the right-elected central defender and have performed well in the club this season.

In addition, there is a famous Mex, who has not even been included in the World Cup list. Domenek has to guest in such an important position as a person who has never played as a central defender in the club. It is inevitable to suffer losses. The penalty given by Abidal can only be said to be a retribution for his stubbornness.

If Domenek used the wrong person for Abidar to play the central defender, then the use of Govu is to trust the wrong person.

Are there 11 people in France?

Who is on the right road?

After France lost 0:2 to Mexico, someone will definitely ask such a question. Govu, who started the game, rarely enters people's sight, and it is purely normal to forget him.

Maluda is very active on the left wing and can be regarded as the best performer in France. Ribery in the middle is limited, but at least his efforts can be seen, but Govu can hardly show any evidence that he has existed on the field. The Invisible Man is the nickname he should get after this field.

Ghu is not working hard and is also very active in running on the court, but the problem is that he did almost nothing except running. The shot was 0, the assist was 0, and the breakthrough was 0 in the whole game. No wonder the French team's right wing attack was completely paralyzed.

God knows what Govu has done in this game. Maybe his real positioning should be a "on-court audience" watching the game.

In two consecutive group matches, Govu was the starting right winger, but his performance disappeared like this game. Domenek insisted on using him and didn't know what his plan was.

Govu's best performance in the French team was the 3:1 victory over Italy in the 2008 European Championship qualifiers. He scored two goals. I don't know if that game impressed Domenek so deeply that he still valued Govu.

However, in these two rounds, Govu failed to play the whole game. In the 85th minute of the first game, Uruguay was replaced, and today is 69 minutes. The departure time is getting earlier and earlier. Domenek also seems to have some understanding of Govu's "play", but unfortunately, it seems to be a little late now.

In this game, the French team's No. 10 Zidane came to watch the game, and he must have been disappointed by the successor of his number.

In the No. 10 of the seven World Cup champions, Govu is probably the most ted one. Needless to say, Messi of Argentina, Brazil's Kaka and England's Rooney are all famous giants. Germany's Podoruski and Uruguay's Fran are all practical. Italy's Di Natale may be relatively less famous, but after all, it is also the best scorer in Serie A. Only Govu can't do anything. France's No. 10 has fallen to such a level, which is a few levels lower than the Zidane era.

After two rounds of Group A, South Africa has basically been out ahead of schedule. Although France is still struggling with its reputation, there are too many prerequisites to appear, which are almost impossible.

The former World Cup and the European Cup double champion may have really come to the point of washing and sleeping.

In the second round of Group B, which began the next day, Argentina and Nigeria took the lead. The two old enemies had the experience of fighting in the 2002 World Cup. At that time, with the goal of Batistuta, the god of war, Argentina defeated their opponents 1-0.

The result this time is surprisingly similar, or the result of 1:0. The same header scored, but this time the goal became defender Heinze.

In the first round of the group stage, Higuain, who scored a hat-trick, completely disappeared in this game. Although Messi worked hard, there were not many highlights.

A victory can already ensure the Argentine team's qualifying, but what did Argentina get behind such a victory?

The most ironic thing happened after the game. When people were guessing that Messi was still the goalkeeper Heinze, who would be the best player in the game, FIFA gave this honor to Nigeria's goalkeeper Enyeama.

A goalkeeper who avoided a big defeat almost on his own.

Facing Messi, Higuain, Tevez and Militto, an Argentine team with the world's best strikers, Enjeama received high and low blocks in the whole game and saved the whole team by almost one person. Nigeria lost only one goal, and he made great contributions.

Enyaama is currently under 28 years old and is at the beginning of the golden age of a goalkeeper, but he has been the starting goalkeeper of Nigeria as early as the 2002 World Cup and has played 55 games for the team so far.

Although Nigeria has not scored a point after two rounds and has achieved even less than the South African team, Enyeama's performance is eye-catching.

In the last game against Belgium led by Digan, Enjeama swallowed three eggs in one game, but it is not difficult to see from this game against Argentina that the defeat in the first game did not affect the psychology of the goalkeeper. His performance in today's game is also worthy of the title of the best player.

Although it was not won by Argentina, it was immersed in two games, which also made Nigeria the first team to be out of the World Cup in South Africa. Perhaps the only gain of the African Eagles in this World Cup is the best player in this game.

In the next game, it was Degan's turn to lead Belgium, and their opponent in the second game was the Asian Red Devils South Korea.

In the face of this game, the most complicated mood at this moment is probably Degan's girlfriend Park Ji-yeon.

Who should

support?

This has become a difficult problem in front of Park Ji-yeon.
