Chapter 366 Opponent Determination

In the next knockout match, there are some strong and weak points. People want to see how the Argentine team led by Maradona wins the final victory.

Mexico has been favored by all parties.

Argentina advanced to the top 16 in the group stage with a complete victory, while Mexico ranked second in Group A with 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss. There have been 25 confrontations between the two sides in history, with Argentina with an advantage of 11 wins, 10 draws and 4 losses. In the last World Cup, the two teams also met in the 1/8 final. As a result, Argentina defeated Mexico 2-1 in overtime and advanced to the quarterfinals.

Today, Argentina discharged the 433 formation, with Messi, Higuain and Tevez forming a frontline trident. In the midfield, Mascherano was the midfielder, with Di Maria and Maxi Rodriguez assisting on both sides. On the guard line, Demychelis and Burdiso partnered with central defenders, Heinze and Otamendi are left and right, and the goalkeeper is still Romero.

The process of the game was also as expected before the game. Argentina did not encounter much difficulty, and easily defeated Mexico to advance to the quarterfinals with a 3:1 score.

In the 25th minute, Tevez headed the ball in the offside position; in the 33rd minute, Higuain used the opponent's mistake of the defender to expand his advantage; in the 52nd minute, Tevez shot twice. Mexico scored a face-recovering point scored by Hernandez in the 71st minute.

In the quarter-finals, Argentina will repeat the scene four years ago and compete with Germany.

Two more confrontations ended in the 1/8 final of the World Cup in South Africa. Germany swept England 4-1, while Argentina won Mexico 3-1. In this way, the scene of the quarter-finals of the World Cup in Germany four years ago will be staged again, and Argentina and Germany will compete for a place in the quarter-finals.

According to FIFA's official statistics, Argentina and Germany have a total of 18 confrontations in the history of international A-level events, with Argentina gaining the upper hand with 8 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses. If only by the results of the World Cup are used, the two sides have met five times, and Germany has a slight advantage of 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss. In the 1958 World Cup in Sweden, the former Federal Republic of Germany defeated Argentina 3-1. In the 1966 World Cup in England, the two sides drew 0-0. In the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, Argentina defeated the former Federal Germany 2-2 in the final, and Maradona won the Hercules Cup. In the 1990 World Cup final in Italy, the two teams met again in the final. This time, the former Federal Germany won the cup 1-0 with Bremer's penalty kick, and Maradona shed tears at the Rome Olympic Stadium.

The last World Cup meeting between the two sides was in the World Cup in Germany four years ago, when Argentina also defeated Mexico in the 1/8 final to advance. At the Berlin Olympic Stadium, Ayala took the lead for Argentina in the 49th minute, and Klose equalized for Germany in the 80th minute. The two sides will not win or lose in 120 minutes. In the penalty shootout, Germany's Neuville, Barak, Podoruski and Borowski all hit the penalty, while Argentina's Cruz and Maxi Rodriguez missed the penalty, Ayala and Cambiaso. In the end, Germany eliminated Argentina with a total score of 5 to 3 and advanced to the quarterfinals.

Open the list of players in this year's Cup between the two sides. There are only 7 players in Germany who participated in the last match, including Friedrich, Schweinstein, Klose, Ram, Mertsack, Podolski and Jansen. There are six people in Argentina, namely Heinze, Mascherano, Tevez, Maxi Rodríguez, Messi [blog] and Bourdiso. Four years later, the two armies met again in the quarter-finals of the World Cup. Fans all over the world are paying attention to whether it is a repeat of history or Argentina's revenge.

For Argentina, Messi is still a key figure in their victory.

German central backs Friedrich and Mertsack obviously turn slowly. Once Messi tries to make a straight ball or break through in the middle, it is expected that Germany's tall defense line will be difficult to resist.

But at the same time, Argentina's defense line also has weaknesses. Demichelis, who has made many mistakes, comes from Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich, and the opponent he will face in this game will be the club's teammate Klose.

In addition, Mueller, Gomez, Ram, Schweinsteg and others are all his teammates. Another attacker, Podolski, also played for Bayern Munich. They are very familiar with the characteristics of Demikelis, which is conducive to Germany to find the weakness of Argentina's defense to score goals. Maradona must think Find a solution.

In addition, it is worth noting that four years ago, Maradona was not the head coach of Argentina, and he did not participate in the command. German coach Loef was Chrisman's assistant at that time, and he personally concocted the victory process. This kind of experience may also help him gain a psychological advantage.

The World Cup in South Africa was quite dull in the group stage, but after entering the 1/8 final, at least three goals were scored in the game, and the World Cup has gradually entered a better state. Although the war between Germany and Argentina has not yet begun, it has become the focus of public opinion and fans.

At the Greenpoint Stadium in Cape Town, South Africa, Germany and Argentina will compete at the peak. Is it a reappearance of the penalty kick four years ago, or is it the success of Argentina's revenge? Is it the handsome Loef who advanced to the top four, or did the demon-like ball king Maradona continue to advance? Let's wait patiently for the arrival of this war of the century. The two teams will definitely send out the new ** of this World Cup.

Messi followed Tevez in a low-key way into the mixed mining area. After seeing Tevez stop in front of the first reporter, he walked 5 meters and stopped in front of the reporter. Many reporters who were interviewing Tevez immediately shifted their "position" after discovering Messi.

Messi was a little tired after winning, but he still didn't score after four games, and Messi was also depressed. Before the game, Diego (Maradona) and I promised that I would score a goal in this game, but I failed to fulfill my promise. How to make up for it? Then try to score two in the next game against Germany.

In this quarter-final with Mexico, Argentina took a 2-0 lead in the first half, but the first goal was controversial. At first, I thought the referee would invalidate the first goal. Fortunately, in the end, he admitted that the first goal was valid. Messi said.

Speaking of the performance of the Mexican team, Messi was full of praise. "The Mexican team has strong ball control, so they are very threatening. Fortunately, we scored the first goal, so it helped us win this game in the end."

When asked about the next game, Messi said that the German team is not easy to deal with. "They are difficult to play, but we will be well prepared. We still know the German team very well. After all, most of them are from the team four years ago.

In the seemingly successful game, the referee's judgment still became the focus after the game.

When the game went on to the 25th minute, with Tevez's goal, Argentina took the lead 1-0, but from the slow mirror replay, Tevez was obviously in an offside position.

At that time, Messi got the ball in the middle and went straight into the penalty area. The goalkeeper grabbed the ball out of the penalty area before Tevez, but the ball returned to Messi's feet. Messi took the opportunity to pass to Tevez, who was still in the penalty area. Tevez made a relaxed header against the empty goal to help Argentina break the deadlock.

But from the slow mirror replay, at the moment Messi picked the ball, Tevez was in an obvious offside position, but the assistant referee did not seem to see it at all. The Mexican player immediately rushed to the assistant referee to complain, but the referee Rossetti had no intention of changing the sentence.

In my impression, in addition to several "black whistles" favoring the host of South Korea in the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan, there has been no referee like this World Cup that has affected the game process and the final result in recent World Cup. Since the opening of the World Cup in South Africa, the referee on duty has performed well in the first two rounds of the group stage, but with the deepening of the game, especially after entering the life-and-death battle and the knockout match, the referee's decision errors have begun to increase, and they are all fatal.

Serbia played against Australia in the last round of the group stage. At the last minute of the game, the Australians played handball in the penalty area, but the referee on duty ignored it. It was because of this decision that Ghana, which lost another game, became the only African team to advance to the knockout stage. This judgment was considered suspected of being sent to Ghana. Please note that the referee at that time was the Uruguayan La Rionda, the main referee of the match between England and Germany! In the exciting game last night, La Lyon didn't see England's shot across the goal line, and that penalty completely changed the trend of the Anglo-German battle. Another recommended delivery?

Just over two hours later, Argentina broke the game deadlock with a clear offside ball. The referee on duty is Italian Rossetti.

Is these misjudgs a problem with business level or professional ethics? Are these misjudged referees black whistles or FIFA red whistles?

FIFA has been resisting any improvement in the work of football referees with an incredible tough attitude, and refuses any high-tech auxiliary facilities to intervene to help referees enforce the law. What do they intend to do? Is it just to maintain the tradition of football games, or to keep a means to control the results of the game? We may be able to figure it out with the worst malice.

The referee was pushed to the front line, and the referee is a man, not a god. Three people guard a huge area of nearly 10,000 square meters. They don't have the Monkey King's eyes. How can they not make mistakes? Nowadays, the attack and defense conversion speed of football games is getting faster and faster, and referees are often willing but weak. Take England's blown goal as an example. Whether it is the referee or the lineman, there is no obvious position error from their point of view. Their mistake is just because they can't keep up with the pace of the game in an instant, especially the lineman. He is passive. If he wants to hold the line of the last player in the defense, he must After that, it moved with the movement of the athletes.

I didn't see the goal, it's not his mistake. Unless the future linesman has the starting ability and speed of Bolt, such a thing cannot be fundamentally eliminated.

The referee became the finger of the outside world, and FIFA hid behind and smiled secretly. In fact, it is not the referee who should be blamed, but FIFA.

At this time, many fans naturally thought of Li Yu, because he is now a veritable Bolt on the field. The unparalleled speed makes it easy for the referee to make an offside wrong decision, especially since the referee has been pushed to the forefront of the storm.

Many media also interviewed Li Yu for this, but Li Yu disapproved. "Going a goal is the best proof. Don't speculate too much. We should choose to believe it!"

Li Yu's geneaty and trust have won the love of many fans. Just prove everything with goals without questioning!

The game of the Chinese Hong Kong team will start in one day. The game is the second game of the day. In the eyes of Chinese fans, the first game between the Netherlands and Slovakia is more like an exhibition game, but the final victory or defeat is still worthy of everyone's attention, because according to the rules of the game, the Dutch victory He will be the winner of the match against the Chinese Hong Kong team.

Chinese fans have reason to believe that the Netherlands and Huaxia Hong Kong play an 8-to-4 game.

The Netherlands won three games in the group stage and advanced, with a very steady performance, while Slovakia beat the defending champion Italy to qualify and became a big dark horse. The two teams (including the former Czechoslovakia) have played 9 games in history. The Netherlands is at a disadvantage with 2 wins, 1 draw and 6 losses. In the 1938 World Cup, the Netherlands lost 0-3 to Czechoslovakia after overtime. However, after Slovakia's independence, this was the first meeting between the two sides.

In this game, Van Malvik formed the strongest lineup of the Netherlands, with numbers from 1 to 11. Robben started for the first time in this World Cup. Van Persie led the front line, Van Bommer and Sneid sat in the midfield, and Steckremberg guarded the gate. There is only one change in Slovakia's lineup compared with the battle. Weiss Jr. replaced the injured Steba, Vitke and Yandrisek.

In the 18th minute, Sneed's long pass launched a counterattack, and Robben pulled out the gap in front of the penalty area and shot vigorously with his left foot. In the 84th minute, Sneed scored. At the last minute of stoppage time, Witke scored a penalty and pulled back a goal.

In the end, the Netherlands defeated Slovakia 2-1 and advanced to the top 8.

Sneed's accurate counterattack pass, Robben's internal shot, these two "bug-like killing moves" help the Netherlands open the door to victory. After defeating Slovakia, the Netherlands successfully advanced to the top 8 and quietly expanded countless records. From the beginning of the qualifiers, 12 consecutive wins; the longest World Cup winning streak in the history of the Dutch team; nearly 40 orange attacks 39 unbeaten... The Dutch team has shown their blue fangs!

People often call the Dutch team the "Orange Storm". But in the past few decades, the Oranges have been regarded as a guarantee of wonderful football, but not a guarantee of victory. In recent years, the Dutch football world has begun to reflect. Under the premise of the continuous decline of the Dutch Division and the fluctuating results of the Dutch team, Dutch football has made important changes: it no longer pursues wonderful football at all costs, but pursues results through more pragmatic playing methods. This change made the orange of the Dutch team the color of victory. There is a set of data: counting today, the Dutch team has been unbeaten in 39 times in orange clothes for 40 times. The only game they lost was the quarter-finals of Euro 2008, losing to Russia under Hiddink.

Since the start of the European qualifiers of the World Cup in September 2008, the Netherlands has set off a terrible winning streak. In the qualifiers, there are "hard bones" such as Norway and Scotland. However, the Netherlands won 8 games and 8 games in the qualifiers, scoring 17 goals and conceding only 2 goals. Although the Dutch team did not wash their opponents when facing a team of Iceland's level, the stability of the record is amazing.

After entering the World Cup, the Dutch team became more fierce. When the World Cup draw was just announced, many people marveled that the Netherlands was in a "death group". After all, Denmark, Cameroon and Japan have good fighting power. However, the Netherlands defeated Denmark 2-0 and defeated Japan 1-0. In the last battle, they still defeated Cameroon and won all three games. Even if the Dutch team has not done their best, Sneed and others deliberately kept their strength. Robben has been recovering for insurance... It was not until this time that the world's mainstream media began to exclaim: Do people underestimate the Dutch team? You know, Robben and Sneid's performance in the past season is not inferior to Messi [blog] Cristiano Ronaldo!

In the 1/8 final, the opponents faced by the Netherlands are still difficult to deal with. Although Slovakia is participating in the World Cup for the first time, it is not a good kind to defeat Italy and advance to the top 16. However, in the face of such an opponent, although the Netherlands did not play particularly unrestrained, it still steadily won the opponent and won 4 consecutive wins in the World Cup and 12 consecutive victories in the qualifiers!

What is the concept of winning the World Cup 4 times in a row? In history, the longest winning streak of the Dutch team was 1974, and that era was also considered to be the era of the real rise of Dutch football. The Netherlands with Cruyff was considered the strongest team in the world at that time and the strongest Dutch team in history. Starting from the third round of the group stage, the Netherlands won four games in a row and reached the finals, but at that time, the Netherlands lost 1-2 to Germany in the final and was the runner-up.

Of course, it is difficult for the Netherlands to enter the finals. The opponents in the quarter-finals are the winners of China Hong Kong and Chile, and it is likely to be the China Hong Kong team.

Huaxia Hong Kong team has become the largest dark horse in the World Cup. How far can Li Yu lead this dark horse? After Chile, she will be baptized by the Netherlands. After the group qualifying, in fact, the Huaxia Hong Kong team has taken off unnecessary burdens. Can the light Huaxia Hong Kong team go further? Question mark

First of all, the Chilean team is in front of it. In the later game, the final answer will be revealed. Every next game is a life-and-death battle. What kind of miracle will Li Yu perform? This is the hope of all Chinese fans and the guarantee of the promotion of the Chinese Hong Kong team.
