Vol 5 Chapter 130: Fight for the country

The rankings of the four qualifying places in groups A and B were determined. The two 1/8 finals were also divided into the upper and lower half, A1 Uruguay and B2 Spain were drawn to the first half, and B1 Portugal and B2 Russia were drawn to the second half. Area.
Since the winners of C1 and D2 will face the winners of Uruguay and Spain in the quarter-finals, and the winners of D1 and C2 face the winners of Portugal and Russia, the Chinese team currently ranked first in Group C Can 'choose' future quarter-final opponents.
Of course, before this, the Chinese team still needs to play well in the final round of Group C. As for the future 1/8 final opponents and 1/4 final opponents, they can only wait until the 1/8 finals and 1/4 finals. Plan again.
Everything rises to the ground, the Chinese team has not qualified from the group, so naturally it is not qualified to think about the 1/8 finals and 1/4 finals.
In order to maximize the appearance of fake football, the final round of the group stage was kicked out at the same time. The group stage of the Chinese team VS Peru and France VS Denmark was at 5 pm local time on June 26, Russia local time. It was 11 pm Beijing time.
These two games are the earliest games to open in the third round of the 2018 World Cup in Russia, and three hours later, the two games in Group D are the latest.
Before the start of the glued Group D competition, the two group matches of Group C naturally attracted the attention of the world.
No one thought that the optimistic French team even ranked second in the group before the start of the third round, and even risked being eliminated.
The Chinese team has a very high chance of scoring in the face of Peru, who is out of the game early. Even if the goal is a small loss, as long as France and Denmark do not play two or more goal difference, they hold two nets. The winning Chinese team also has a goal difference, and the Chinese team that scored five goals in the first two rounds can still advance to the top 16.
Half a day before the start of the game, Moscow and Sochi are full of fanatical football atmosphere.
Because in the near future, France and Denmark, China and Peru will start a ‘life and death battle in these two cities! ’
As the distance between the games is getting closer and closer, fans in the square near Luzhniki Stadium and Fisht Olympic Stadium are so crowded that the surrounding traffic has been paralyzed.
The traffic near the Fisht Olympic Stadium is even more congested, because the Chinese team is on the verge, and more and more Chinese fans come to Russia. They can only wait outside the stadium or near the hotel where the Chinese team stays in the case of a difficult ticket.
What they do is to look at the national team they support before the match between China and Peru.
In the past, Chinese football was unsightly, and now it is recovering perfectly. It is better than the Chinese men's football team at the peak. The leading Tang Zheng will be 29 years old this year, and the next World Cup will be 33 years old. As the age rises and declines are avoided, it can be said that this World Cup may be the last glory of the Chinese men's football team in the World Cup.
Even if there are a group of outstanding young players in the midfield and frontcourt, it is Tang Zheng who can really be regarded as a top star.
Two games, four goals and one assist.
And these data, those young players can not do it.
As Yang Wei's commentator He Wei said, players like Bailey and Maradona will make one in one hundred years, players like Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo will make one in fifty years, but players like Tang Zheng It takes only one thousand years to produce one.
The final word is that when the Chinese team arrived on the designated parking spot of the Fish Olympic Stadium by bus, no matter whether they were fans in the queue or waiting, they all paid attention and cheered towards the bus with a huge cheer: "Aoao Aoao--"
Especially for those fans who did not buy the tickets, the loud voice made was particularly alarming.
The Chinese players sitting in the bus constantly waved their hands. In this way, they thanked the fans for their support, and at the same time cheered themselves up, they must win!
Although the Peru team has been eliminated early, they have lost both games before and they will inevitably fight for the Chinese team in the final round for the glory of the country and strive to get three points, so the seemingly relaxed third round is actually very dangerous.
Of course, France and Denmark are the most dangerous. As long as China does not lose to Peru, Denmark must defeat France in order to advance to the top 16.
France is a popular champion. If you do n’t get the first in the group, it will surely become a joke in the media of various countries, so the final game will definitely be as aggressive as possible and strive to score more goals.
Under the circumstances of both sides offensive, the result is difficult to predict.
An hour before the start of the game, the Chinese team's starting list appeared on the FIFA official website.
Compared with playing Sweden, there are two changes in personnel. Hao Junmin, who has accumulated two yellow cards, was replaced by 19-year-old striker Ye Erfan who has not played before. However, Ye Erfan did not play the front waist, but Lu Liang served. Ye Erfan replaced Zhang Yuzheng as the center, Wu Sanshi served as the left forward, and Sun Jingbo was still on the right.
The Chinese team played Danish in the last round of Denmark, but it seems that they were affected by injuries and did not meet the expectations that Lippi hoped to see, so this game tried to train better Ye Erfan.
The Chinese domestic media that got the Chinese team's starting lineup was not too surprised. Ye Erfan was very good in the state, but was limited to the national team's qualifications that were not as good as Zhang Yuzheng and failed to debut in the last two rounds.
It is worth mentioning that Ye Erfan scored a shocking four-level upside down gold hook in the Panda Cup against Hungary in May last year, which is impressive, so many domestic fans want to see Ye Erfan Able to replicate that classic goal on the stage of the World Cup.
Peru ’s number one star Farfan continues to be absent due to injury. The starting lineup has only two position adjustments compared to the previous round of 0: 1 loss to France. Tapia and Santa Maria replaced Pedro who has suspended two yellow cards. Aquino and Alvito Rodriguez, respectively, are midfielders and midfielders.
Obviously, Peru, who was eliminated in advance, did not make a large-scale rotation of the lineup to fight for glory in the final round, so after returning to the locker room, Chinese coach Lippi focused on reminding players that they must not underestimate the enemy, otherwise welcome Is likely to be a big score loss.
The early elimination of Peru does not mean that they are not strong. After all, they are overwhelming Chile to become the fifth place in South America to qualify for the play-offs, and FIFA ranks 11th.
The FIFA ranking may not indicate that Peru is strong, but it can indicate that they are not weak.
There are no weak players in the World Cup, and the Chinese team does not have any capital to despise opponents, so this matter is related to the team's right to qualify.
※※※
Five o'clock local time in Russia, the last round of the World Cup Group C match between the Chinese team and the Peru team kicked off at the Fisht Olympic Stadium.
The Fisht Olympic Stadium, which can accommodate 44,000 fans, is full. Among them, the fans who support the Chinese team account for the vast majority. Because there are too many Chinese fans pouring into Russia, the organizing committee officially leaves the neutral fans with extra votes. Fans of the 'Dragon Team' will meet the fans, and there are many rich people in China after the rapid development. In addition to the regular channels to buy neutral tickets, more rich people buy tickets from neutral fans.
Of course, the price is very high, several times higher than the face value of the ticket, or even ten times ...
But being able to see the World Cup group stage of the Chinese team is not a big deal for these fans who have come to a foreign country.
Sprinkle water.
Looking at it, almost 2/3 of the entire stadium is occupied by Chinese fans.
"Beep ~"
With the long whistle of Russian referee Sergey Karasov, the final round of the World Cup group match between China and Peru officially began!
The Peruvian team wearing a white shirt and white pants urgently needed a victory to play the shame of the two-game losing streak of the previous group, so the Peru team with the kick-off advantage took the lead in attacking the Chinese team at halftime.
At the beginning of the game, as the Chinese team coach Lippi predicted before the game, the Peru team took the lead in the difficulty.
However, the Chinese team was clearly prepared, and at the beginning stage a defensive posture was put forward, allowing the Peru team to attack.
In the blink of an eye, five minutes passed in the first half, and the score on the scoreboard was still 0: 0.
Yang 5 commentator He Wei nodded his head and smiled, "The Lippi-led tactical layout is very targeted. The current Chinese team ranked first in the group only needs a tie to get the group's qualifying rights, there is no need to consume too much More energy to attack, after all, this Chinese team has a very fast counterattack ability. Lu Liang, Wu Sanshi, Sun Jingbo and Ye Erfan who appeared in the front waist position of this game have a very fast speed ... "
In another game that was going on at the same time, the French team striving for the first place in the group launched a fierce offensive against the Danish team from the beginning of the game.
Although the third round of the Group D group match has not yet started, the basic situation is clear. The Croatian group has a pinch on the first board. As for the second group, the variables are a bit big. Nigeria, Argentina and Iceland all have opportunities to qualify.
According to the strength of the match, Argentina, who is reborn in desperation, is more likely to beat Nigeria to obtain the group qualifying rights, but Nigeria, which has accumulated three points, only needs a tie to obtain the group qualifying rights.
Argentina also defeated Croatia in the second round with three goals. In addition to recent news that coach Sambali and striker Aguero had a conflict, causing Sambali to lose control of the locker room. Considering the infighting of the French team in the 2010 South Africa World Cup, many The media is optimistic that Nigeria will advance to the top 16 of the World Cup as the second group.
Iceland with a chance to continue life will only have the chance to become second in the group as long as it beats Croatia in the final round.
Compared with the rainbow-like Croatia, Nigeria and Iceland deal better, so the French team coached by Deschamps must get more goal difference in order to get the first place in the group, so as to overpower the Chinese team.
In the eighteenth minute of the game, the scores of the Chinese team and the Peru team have not changed. The scores of the French team and the Danish team have changed first. Thanks to Gretzman's grab in the penalty area, the French team leads 1: 0 Denmark.
The score at Luzhniki Stadium has just changed, and Chinese assistant coach Madaloni came to the command area for the first time to inform Lippi of the latest score change.
Immediately, Lippi raised his eyebrows. If the match is ended according to the existing score, France will win the group first and the Chinese team will retreat to the group second.
If the second group D is Nigeria or Iceland, the Chinese team will naturally go all out to get the group first, but Argentina is not the optimistic Argentina to beat Nigeria and Iceland cannot beat Croatia, then Argentina is the second group ...
So Lippi didn't know how to make a choice. After thinking for a long time, he sighed, let's just let it happen.
Before choosing opponents in the 1/8 finals, it is more important to qualify for the group.
There are more than seventy minutes from the end of the game. The defense is very large. There is no need to go to Peru for the so-called first team.
There are too many stories about killing a snake but not killing it. Perhaps ... the second team may not be a bad thing.
Unconsciously, the Chinese team became a little confused.
Fortunately, the player's tactical execution is very good. The score did not change until the end of the first half. The two sides entered the locker room with a score of 0: 0.
If the two games are based on the existing score technique, the French team will stand out from Group C as the first team and the Chinese team will be second.
During the halftime break, Lippi did not explain the tactical changes for the second half of the game in the locker room, but asked the players if they wanted to compete for the first team.
Players frowned, and could not make up their minds, so they looked at captain Tang Zheng.
According to their inertial thinking, Tang Zheng took the idea.
Tang Zheng's eyes on his teammates are very helpless ~ EbookFREE.me ~ But he knows that as a captain at this time, he must take his mind, so he looked at his teammates and coach Lippi, from Shen Sheng to shouting: "1/8 The opponents in the final are naturally trying to avoid stronger opponents, but we should come up with our best level. If we can beat Peru and get more goals, why should we keep it? We are not representing ourselves, but Entire country!"
With captain Tang Zheng's statement, other Chinese players have expressed their support. After all ... the game is to fight for the country.
It is good to select opponents in the knockout, but it must not damage the national sportsmanship. If you can win and score many goals, you must win and score many goals!
The fifteen-minute intermission time passed quickly, and the second half changed sides again. Both sides did not make adjustments to the lineup. It is very burning that the head coaches of both sides are quite satisfied with the performance of their players.
The Chinese team with the kick-off advantage did not retreat to half-court defense as in the first half, but boldly participated in the offensive, which was very surprising.
The Peru team apparently did not expect the Chinese team to increase their offensive in the second half. They were insufficiently prepared. It was too late to strengthen the defense. In the 49th minute, Tang Zheng received Lu Liang ’s horizontal pass without any adjustment. Passing to attack the right side of the side, Zhang Linpeng plugged in at a high speed. Left-back Tronco was attracted by Sun Jingbo's internal exposure and exposed a huge empty space. The left-back forward Flores did not recover enough, giving Zhang Linpeng a great deal of ball space.
Forced Lichsteiner to become Juventus' main right back Zhang Linpeng made a slight adjustment during the run and directly passed it.
The first-class olfactory Ye Erfan grabbed the dive and rushed to the top before Santa Maria, pushing the ball towards the goal. Goalkeeper Galese did not respond.
