Vol 4 Chapter 50: End of the group stage

France's draw with Denmark means that Denmark has completely lost hope of promotion.
The standings of Group C are as follows:
First: France, 2 wins, 1 draw, 0 losses, 7 points.
Second: China, 2 wins, 0 draws and 1 loss, 6 points.
Third: Denmark, 1 win, 1 draw, 1 loss, 4 points.
Fourth, Peru, 0 wins, 0 draws and 3 losses, 0 points.
According to FIFA, World Cup group qualifying rules, Group C qualifying places are France in the first group and China in the second group.
The Chinese team advanced to the round of 16, which can be described as unprecedented and encountered a lot of public opinion.
Some people think the Chinese team is too lucky.
Some people feel that Denmark and Peru in the same group are in poor condition.
Some people say Lippi's tactics are used very well.
Someone blows Yi Le into a god!
But no one thinks that the promotion of the Chinese team is related to strength. After all, no matter from what point of view, the Chinese team's lineup is still the bottom of the World Cup, and the player's quality is also the tail of the crane.
In this case, the Chinese team advanced and most people attributed their advancement to luck and other third-party factors.
But no matter what, the promotion of the Chinese team is an iron fact.
It can be said that the Chinese team is the darkest black horse in the group stage. She almost broke everyone's imagination of the World Cup.
Of course, it is not unacceptable for the Chinese team to advance to the fans, at least they can take another look at Yi Le.
Sometimes, the star effect has to be said to be a good thing.
Foreign countries are spreading so wildly, it goes without saying that in China.
The moment the match between Denmark and France ended, the carnival began.
The roar of the fans!
People's fanatical cry!
The 1.4 billion Chinese people's feelings of pride and excitement suddenly broke out at this moment.
The whole street was a fiery piece.
It was a phalanx composed of personal streams, they shuttled through the downtown area, venting their excitement crazy.
A flag was inserted on the top of the Yellow Crane Tower in Wuhan.
The LCD panel of the Beijing CBD skyscraper is engraved with ‘Congratulations! The Chinese team made the top 16!
Banners were hung overnight at the Bird's Nest Stadium. From top to bottom, 16 banners correspond to the Chinese team marching into the top 16!
In the Bund of Magic City, in the bright red wine, you can also see the hot Chinese red and the surging masses below.
Heading to Central Avenue, the heads are full of praise.
This is destined to be a sleepless night, the fans trembling at that moment can not calm down, they also do not want to be quiet!
They want to make trouble! They want to make a noise!
They want to tell the world that the Chinese team has reached the top 16!
Fireworks burst into the sky, illuminating the whole sky.
The land of China is very lively. This great country with 1.4 billion people is boiling at this moment.
Pride fills their hearts!
A sense of national belonging is bursting!
They love this land, they love their identity, so when someone fights for their honor, the feeling that the excited heart is bursting makes them hard to release for a long time.
Now, the Chinese team has reached the top 16, the news is very unexpected, but it is an iron fact.
In the carnival night, while fans share their joy with each other, the biggest talk is the opponent in the next game!
The next game is the World Cup quarter-finals. Who will be their opponent?
Chinese fans have begun to make suggestions for the national team.
First of all, the opponent cannot be too strong. As can be seen from the group stage, the Chinese team is in a very good state, but if you want to meet the real world top team, should you pull the span?
Secondly, the striker should not be too strong. The English-style playing method of Denmark made the Chinese team suffer enough.
Combining these characteristics, fans began to speak freely.
Even some official networks are launching the next round of opponent prediction activities, and there are all kinds of messages in the message area.
"Germany! The German tank was pulled this year! It is very likely that they will win if they meet!"
"Forget it, Germany is hard to guarantee by itself now. Despite playing one less round, judging from the current situation, it is difficult for them to advance to the top 16!"
"Then Brazil, Neymar was stupid by the fans sprayed by Paris fans, what did they play in the group stage, and other people's performance is not good. I want to say that the current Brazil is no longer the five-star Brazil. After that, they will be useless! And we met them, and we can just take revenge on the World Cup in 2002! "
"Resume upstairs, dare to kick Brazil? Brazil is not weak, we can't break it. They have a strong team. This kind of thing can't be touched, but it can play a huge role at a critical moment!"
"Brazil is not good, what do you say about Russia?"
"Host? Are you afraid of the referee wearing shoes?"
"Even if you don't wear small shoes, one thing is said, this World Cup, Russia is a bit strong!"
"That is Group A is too weak!"
This comment made many people silent. Lao Tzu is floating. There is also Saudi Arabia in Group A. In the past in Asia, they played Saudi Arabia very hard. Now they call it weak.
"What do you say about Croatia? It's not very strong! It doesn't have that kind of dominance in the group stage, it looks mediocre, and on midfield, let's finish Modric!"
"Yeah! Croatia is playing in the midfield, we are also watching the midfield play, then fight to fight who is the best midfielder!"
"Just him, him!"
Some fans shook their heads helplessly after watching a group of people clamoring for Croatia.
Is Croatia really weak?
...
In the conference room of the Chinese team, Lippi and other coaching staff are also conducting lottery predictions and preparations.
Lippi has two options in front, one for England and the other for Croatia.
The two national teams were placed on the side of "absolutely not to meet". Apparently Lippi was very vigilant about this national team when the outside world was not optimistic about Croatia.
"Top 16, these two teams must avoid!"
The England team has not yet finished playing. It is not yet decided who will be the first team in Belgium or England.
The Belgian group first is okay to say that if the English group first, it is really difficult.
Although England has evolved from the "Three Lions Legion" to the current "Three Meows Legion", their playing style is very restrained by the Chinese team, especially with a top striker like Harry Kane, against England, that It was properly discarded.
As for Croatia, from the performance point of view, Croatia is not too outstanding, and there is no dominance of other strong teams.
But Lippi felt that this team had a problem, and their upper limit is definitely much higher than this level.
And this is an extremely resilient team.
Lippi once talked to Yi Le about Croatia, and Yi Le's evaluation made him entangled.
"This Croatian midfielder, I have no confidence to suppress!"
Yes ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Even Yi Le has no confidence to suppress, once the anti-suppression, the Chinese team is really finished.
In Lippi ’s vision, when meeting other teams, let ’s touch it and see who can just pass it.
Anyway, the Chinese team scored in the round of 16, their task has been completed, barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes, their goal is not to hold the Hercules Cup, that is too vague.
If you can win, you can win.
Lippi thought very barely.
As for the encounter with Croatia and England, Lippi is very uncomfortable.
He really couldn't think of a way to deal with the two teams. Perhaps it was really about to happen. It is estimated that he would surrender.
