Chapter 130 Respectable Opponents
1:3 behind, but the tenacious Mexicans did not want to give up like this. When the game restarted, they were still attacking. Aguirre also played his last card at this time, replacing Franco for a midfielder and continued to strengthen the attack.
At this time, Antiennis also made the second substitution adjustment of this game, replacing Druer with veteran Simmons in an attempt to strengthen the team's control of the midfield.
There are still ten minutes left in the game, but the fierce competition, wonderful attack and tenacious defense on the court are still going on. It can be said that although there is a big gap between the strength of the two sides in this game, the level of excitement is definitely a crime of this World Cup.
The Mexican team, which was at a disadvantage, did not defend from the beginning of the game because of its own ability, but bravely fought against Belgium.
"Even from the standpoint of Belgian fans, I have to admit that Mexico is definitely a respectable opponent. They played very tenaciously. In the case of falling behind the score, their momentum has not weakened at all, but launched a more violent counterattack!"
The Belgian commentator couldn't help but be tenaciously dormant by the Mexicans: "This is the World Cup. This is the charm of the World Cup. There is no ugly defense, no intentional consumption of game time. The two sides are engaged in a fierce confrontation every minute and every second on the court. Now I hope this match Don't end the game so soon, because I think all the fans have the same mind as me and want to keep this wonderful confrontation going on!"
Of course, this wish is destined to be unattainable. Football has its rules. Although Degan admits that this game is the hardest game he has played so far in the World Cup in South Africa, he will not be soft-hearted because of his opponent's tenaciousness.
In the whole game, under the strict defense of the Mexicans, Degan still scored two goals, increasing his total number of World Cup goals to 23, which is a number enough to look up to.
The game has entered the time of injury stoppage. It can be said that the overall situation has been decided, but the Mexicans just refuse to give up. Dos Santos, whose physical strength has been exhausted for a long time, is still attacking, stepping on his legs like lead, breaking through again and falling again and again.
Hernandez and Franco also tried their best on the forward line, but they were still unable to knock on Belgium's goal.
Finally, the whistle at the end of the game sounded. Degan crossed his waist and stood on the court. He didn't even have the strength to celebrate. Finally, it was over. He breathed a long sigh of relief.
Other Belgian players have the same expression at this moment, all of which are relieved. The Mexican team played too tenaciously in this game, especially in the more than ten minutes after they scored a goal, it can be said that the offensive was like a tide. If it hadn't for the subsequent Degan scored Belgium's third goal, one Let the Mexican team blow up so wildly, the result of this game is really not good.
When the game was over, all the Mexican players collapsed to the ground with tears in their eyes. After four years of hard work, 90 minutes, it was over.
No one will be willing!
Aguire, the head coach of the Mexican team, walked on the court and comforted his players one by one. The handsome man's eyes were also full of tears, but he didn't need to blame himself at all. He took over the mess left by Erikson halfway, which could bring Mexico, which was in a precarious qualifying situation at that time, to the stage of the World Cup in South Africa, and He beat the French team to appear second in the group, and he has done well enough.
Although it lost 1:3, the content of the Mexican team's game is definitely worthy of praise. If you don't care about the number of shots, Mexico played offensive football that made the Belgians feel horrible. Who else dares to say that Mexico is second-rate in the world after watching this game?
Especially for a period of time in the second half, Mexico obviously had a stronger desire to attack and more offensive means than Belgium. Here is a non-existent assumption: What would Mexico have happened without Degan's goal with a stable military heart?
Will this ball still be the result of this?
The answer is obviously no. This ball will be far from being played. In the perspective of rigid European football, Mexican football's offensive ideas are full of strange, dazzling foot technology, and the unique offensive method of the line. It is not too much to say that it is a strange thing in international football. Every time FIFA participates, it should be given to Messi. Brother presented a special award.
This year's Mexico is gorgeous, and there are many more magic weapons to fight against the top giants. After repeated carving, some offensive routines have been particularly mature. Salcido's long-range shot, Hernandez's middle attack, Guadaldo's left attack can be used in front of the European Red Devil Belgium. Play well.
Toledo's organizational strategy is an important axis. The Mexican team's round attack is extremely fast and resolute, and the players can always have some unexpected moves when they break through. I believe that many fans will have a deep memory of Barreira's goal in this game.
This is a real "demon force". Although the players are much less valuable than Belgium, they can't see where Mexico is weaker than Belgium in terms of the thoroughness and creativity of the attack. The Mexican team shot 16 times in the whole game, even 5 times more than the Belgian team.
Behind the data is the embodiment of absolute ability. The Mexican team's shots are not just a cumulative number of shots. The huge threat continues from the beginning of the first half to the end of the game. How can a general team compete with the Belgian team?
Before Lukaku scored the first goal, Salcido angrily shot into the post, Guadal's long-range shot came out of the post, and Hernandez' strong shot missed in the penalty area, making Belgian fans sweat a lot. However, as Lukaku received Digan's penalty area across the ball and scored, Mexico's ten thousand feet The pride suddenly turned into an urgent mood to catch up with the score.
The Mexican team is full of genius and, of course, there are also defects. This is a typical team that is far away and strong, and the emotional side is also prominent. After losing the ball, captain Marquis was completely calm and almost caused trouble.
Belgium is also a little emotional, but compared with Mexico, it is obviously much more mature and rational, and when fighting back, the side of Belgium's world's top team can be reflected more clearly, which is the gap that Mexicans must see.
Although it lost the game, Mexico is destined to leave South Africa with their heads held high in the heartfelt applause of the fans.
Mexicans also have regrets, because since 1994, in five World Cup matches in 16 years, Mexico has successfully qualified from the group and entered the top 16. This dazzling honor is only comparable to Brazil and Germany, and Argentina, England, the Netherlands, France and even Italy have not completed this. Belgium has a glorious record, not to mention Belgium.
However, for Mexico, there is its own sadness behind this record. They have entered the top 16 five times in a row, but they have also been blocked from the top 8 five times in a row. One-eighth final has become the biggest obstacle for the Chinese and American giants to go further.
In 1994, Mexico's group included the runner-up Italy and Ireland and Norway in the same group. In the end, although Mexico lost 0:1 to Norway in the first round, it defeated Ireland in the next two games and drew Italy. In the end, the group successfully qualified. In the eighth final, Mexico They drew 1:1 with Bulgaria in 90 minutes, but lost 1:3 in the penalty shootout.
In 1998, Mexico was in a group with the uncrowned king of Europe, the Netherlands, the Red Devils Belgium and South Korea. In the end, Mexico qualified with 1 win and 2 draws with the second place in the group. In 16-8, Mexico met Germany, and finally Mexico lost 1:2 to the German chariot and bid farewell to the French World Cup.
In 2002, Mexico, Italy, Croatia and Ecuador were divided into one group. In the end, Mexico won 2 and 1 draw, leading the first place in the unbeaten group. However, Mexico lost 0-2 to its compatriots in Central and North America in the competition for the second place United States in another group. Under his feet, he fell on the barrier of 16 to 8 again.
In 2006, although Mexico qualified from the group of Portugal, Iran and Angola, it was pushed out of the top 8 by Argentina. In that game, Mexico scored in the first 5 minutes, and Crespo equalized 4 minutes later. Mexico tenaciously tied Argentina in 90 minutes, but However, he was defeated by Rodrigues' shocking long-range shot in overtime.
In 2016, in the 5th World Cup, Blanco has grown old, but Hernandez has shown new hope for Mexican football. Fans have reason to look forward to the World Cup in Brazil four years later. Maybe Mexicans can go further in 2014.
With Mexico's elimination, Hernandez can go to Manchester to complete the joining ceremony. With the failure of the national team, Hernandez will have some days to slowly dilute the pain. However, in terms of his personal achievements, the performance of this World Cup has strengthened Ferguson's idea: to acquire the Mexican genius striker, which is worth it. Buying and selling!
In today's game against Belgium, Mexico lost miserably, but it let the world see the American wizards who may become a figure in the Premier League in the future.
It is a rare role to play such a wonderful world wave in front of the Belgians. It is estimated that Digan will also tremble after seeing this goal. The team's main defense line has been played by Hernandez.
When Hernandez got the ball, he was facing Compani. The best central defender in Europe was confident to stick him, but before Hernandez got the ball, he had decided to turn to the right and had already decided to do this move. The defender was very passive at this time. When he was still thinking about what to do next, the attacker had already taken the lead. Action.
Hernandez easily got rid of Compani, which was the first step, because there was a Vermaren on the side, Hernandez was windy, and then accelerated. Vermaren was embarrassed to cope with it, but almost bumped into Compani. Hernandez dumped two people in a row. , his left foot shot angrily near the upper corner of the goal, and the speed was so fast that even if Curtua judged the direction of Hernandez' shot in advance, he had no time to spread his body to save this near-dead goal.
This is one of the best quality solo fights in the penalty area since the start of this World Cup. This goal has greatly boosted the Mexican team, which has not had much spiritual fighting spirit, and started to fight against Belgium at the last moment.
Hernandez, the starting player in this game, has a strong personal attack in the face of the experienced Belgian defense, which makes Digan and Lukaku on the other side feel very stressful.
In this World Cup, Hernandez gradually changed from a substitute to the absolute main force of the starting lineup. In the process of command, Aguirès also quickly realized that Hernandez had personal combat effectiveness that other strikers did not match. The trust of the coach also made Hernandez make the world aware of his power in advance.
This game is over for Mexico, but for Hernandez, it is the beginning of his journey to the world stage. This can be described as "success". He scored a goal against France and contributed such a wonderful goal to Belgium. This is the best strength appraisal.
It can be seen that in the next year of the Premier League, as long as Hernandez doesn't mind the spicy defense of the Premier League, he has some useful land. Some people say that his characteristics are like Solskja, which are not similar in terms of height conditions, but both of them are sprint strikers. They suddenly sprint at short distances. Generally, the general defenders can't defend themselves and enter The treatment after the penalty area is often bold and unexpected. Ferguson's use of him is unexpected. Judging from this World Cup, Hernandez should be ready.
Back on the court, the Belgian players took the initiative to come to the Mexican players after a simple celebration. They are worthy of respect for this opponent. Although the game is hard, the World Cup is only attractive.
Degan went straight to Marquis, and the hands of the two captains held together for the second time today: "Very wonderful game!"
Marquez and Degan have also met several times before. He has never seen Digan so friendly and can't help but be stunned: "It's just a pity!"
Degan smiled: "Yes! If today's game is another result and normal, that boy is really good!"
Digan said and looked at Hernandez, who was crying under the comfort of his teammates.
Marquis nodded: "That's right! He is the future of Mexican football! Good luck in the next game!"
Digan smiled and said, "Thank you!"
Then the two exchanged jerseys and said goodbye with high-fives!
Digan will definitely give enough respect to opponents like Mexico.
