Vol 6 Chapter 12: Weak Asian power


After the match between the Chinese team and the Chilean team, no one knows what happened in the dressing room, but the outside media are quite disappointed with this result and are pessimistic about the prospects of the Chinese team in this World Cup...
After the game, all major domestic media expressed regret that the Chinese team failed to win the game, and then criticized the team's performance after the opening, and of course praised the performance after two goals behind.
As for how to make the group qualify, the media and fans are also very enthusiastic to analyze and make suggestions.
But in their view, no matter which method is used, it is very difficult to defeat the Netherlands or Spain.
Spain lost to the Netherlands in a strong dialogue, everyone is not surprised, everyone unexpectedly lost so much...
The defending champion has lost a game, so to ensure the group qualify, they must win the remaining two games.
Chinese media and fans dare not think that the defending champion will be eliminated after finishing the group stage. Although the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Italy, as the defending champion, did not qualify from the group. But the situation in Italy and Spain is different, and how can two consecutive World Cups, the defending champions be eliminated?
So no matter how you look at it, it is very, very difficult for the Chinese team to qualify for the group...
But within the Chinese team, there is indeed another scene.
The players are preparing for the match with the Dutch team with great fighting spirit and confidence.
Head coach Lippi also proposed the goal of striving for the group.
First of all, they have to face the strong enemy of the Dutch team.
Lippi's goal is surprisingly consistent with Zhou Yi-if you can win, of course it is better, but if you can't win, you must fight for a tie.
With two points in hand, the last game was to fight Spain and get three points to qualify for the group qualifying with five points.

The next day, the World Cup group stage took place four more times. In the group stage, the schedule is three or four games a day.
The earliest start of the four games played on this day was Colombia against Greece, which was a match in Group C. In the end, Almero, Gutierrez and Rodriguez defeated Greece 3-0.
The second match was a match in Group D, against Uruguay against Costa Rica, which is the civil war in Latin America. Before the game, everyone is more optimistic about Uruguay. After all, Uruguay has masters such as Cavani and Suarez. And in the World Cup, Uruguay is one of the top four.
When it comes to this game, Uruguay lost 1:3 to the unknown Costa Rica. Expose the first upset of this World Cup.
Next came England and Italy. This is the game that everyone is most concerned about on this match day. Italy's last World Cup was the defending champion. As a result, the group was out of the bottom and became a laugh for many people. In this World Cup, they made a comeback and wanted to prove themselves again at the World Cup.
The first group match came against England, the "winning champion". The two teams competed. Who will die?
In the end, Italy defeated England 2-1, and the controversial talented player Balotelli scored a goal in the game and was elected the best in the game.
England's "Road to Win" has been hit hard at the beginning.
Without the World Cup, the English media will publicize the hype that this England is "the strongest England team in history" and "a hot topic to win the championship". But every World Cup, England's performance is not satisfactory. Of course, the English media will not think that they have been beaten, they will quickly find a scapegoat after the team fails.
The last game on June 14th was back in Group C, and another Asian team appeared. Japan is playing against Côte d'Ivoire. Japan is also a very ambitious team. Since they entered the World Cup knockout stage in 2002, the country has been full of self-confidence. The goal of each World Cup is in the knockout. Of course, since 1998, for teams that have never missed any World Cup finals, it is indeed time for them to go one step further. After three group matches, he returned home.
In the last World Cup in South Africa, the Japanese team won two games and one loss in the group stage, accumulated six points to get the group qualifying right, and entered the knockout again. But they stopped in the quarterfinals and lost to Paraguay in the penalty shootout.
In this World Cup, the Japanese team gathered many outstanding players both at home and abroad. The goal is still to qualify in the group, but it is not just the qualifying in the group. They hope to go further.
Despite the opening sixteen minutes of this game, the Japanese team led by Honda Keiyu as the team's first record. But then they still could not escape the fate of losing-Côte d'Ivoire scored two goals in sixty-four and sixty-six minutes, reversing the score. In the end this result remained until the end of the game.
Côte d’Ivoire defeated Japan 2-1, and the Japanese team’s group goal was hit from the start.

The next game for the Chinese team is the twentieth game of the World Cup. It will not kick off until the 18th. In between, they are training while paying attention to the performance of other teams in the World Cup.
In the two matches in Group E, Switzerland defeated Ecuador 2-1 and France won Honduras 3-1.
Argentina, the real winner of Group F, debuted. Argentina, which has many world-class stars, finally defeated Bosnia and Herzegovina for the first time in the World Cup 2-1. However, this game does not seem to be convincing, because in the game, the Argentine players scored only one goal, the other two goals were scored by Bosnia and Herzegovina players, one was an own goal... Messi scored in Argentina The only goal scored by the team was to defeat the Bosnia and Herzegovina team that took part in the World Cup for the first time with an own goal. This makes people doubt whether Argentina can really win the championship in this World Cup.
The World Cup held in South America is a good opportunity for Argentina to win the championship because they are more familiar with the environment here than European teams. If Messi wants an undisputed king, then he must win the World Cup.
Messi himself may be very clear, so he has a goal in this game.
In another game in the same group, the third Asian team debuted, and Iran and Nigeria played a 0:0 draw.
The German team in Group G showed their terrifying strength and status in the match against Portugal. They beat Portugal 4:0. This result is beyond the expectations of many people. Everyone used to think that even if Portugal had to lose, they couldn't lose so much...
At the time, Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the two strongest men in football, was able to kill the Quartet in the club, but in the national team, he could not support the entire Portuguese team by himself. , Also can not play out.
In another game, the United States defeated Ghana 2-1.
The first match of Group H was Belgium against Algeria. The Belgian team, which was full of talented players, defeated Algeria 2-1.
In another game in the same group, the last Asian team appeared.
The South Korean team faces Russia.
From the perspective of the South Korean team, Russia should be the team they must win in this group. They have the same goals as the Japanese team.
The best results of the South Korean team in the World Cup were also created in the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea. They reached the semifinals. It's just that for the South Korean team's achievements, fans from other countries except South Korea's accident are probably not very convinced.
In the last World Cup in South Africa, South Korea and Japan both entered the knockout, but their fate was the same as that of Japan. They were eliminated in the quarterfinals. They also came out as second in the group, they met Uruguay, lost 1-2, and stopped in the top 16.
This time they and the Japanese team, not only to qualify for the group, but also hope to be able to go as far as possible.
In the face of Russia, the South Korean team believes that they deserve to win. This is the only way for the group to qualify.
But the final result was disappointing, they tied 1:1 with Russia...
At this point, all four Asian teams have finished their appearances. The Chinese team, Iran and South Korea have all achieved a draw and scored one point, while the Japanese team lost.
Judging from the first round of the group stage, the performance of Asian teams is not satisfactory, because their opponents are not the most powerful in the group stage, but even so, they have not been able to get even a game victory.
If you want to rank among the four teams in Asia~EbookFREE.me~ The Chinese team is still the best performer, because they score more goals...
But this kind of rookie pecking the same comparison is meaningless.
Some experts analyzed that from the performance of each team in the first round of the group stage, if the World Cup is not successful, Asian teams will be wiped out. If that is the case, it is not a good thing for Asian football.
Because the quota for the World Cup is directly linked to the performance of teams from all continents in the World Cup.
If Asian teams always perform poorly, their qualifying places will be cut, and the number of Asian teams is large, which is obviously a great loss to the overall interest of Asian football.
For a while, the sorrow and cloudiness shrouded not only the hearts of Chinese fans, but also those of Japan, South Korea, Iran, and even those who did not participate in the World Cup, such as Australia-when they first joined the AFC, they thought that Asia was not competitive And there are a lot of qualifying places, which is profitable. When they thought of the World Cup they met the rising Chinese team, they didn't even get the right to qualify. If the Asian team in this World Cup is wiped out, it will inevitably affect Australia's future World Cup participation opportunities...
