Vol 4 Chapter 29: all will be good

Portugal eventually relied on Cristiano Ronaldo ’s 2-1 goal-breaker to defeat Ghana, but Germany only beat the United States with a small goal, which also means that the Portuguese goal difference of three points still lags behind the losing United States. team.
The two qualifying places in Group G appear in Germany and the United States, and the qualifying places in Group H are Belgium and Algeria.
With the end of the last four group matches, the Brazil World Cup group stage ended.
In the group stage, there were a few joys and sorrows. After half a month, the top 16 dust settled.
Among them, the European teams occupy the most seats and South America tied for the most, with five seats each. Central and North America and the Caribbean are surprising, occupying three seats, two seats in Africa and one seat in Asia.
Group A Brazil, Mexico, Group B Netherlands, Chile, Group C Colombia, China, Group D Costa Rica, Uruguay, Group E Argentina, Nigeria, Group F France, Switzerland, Group G Germany, United States, Group H Belgium, Algeria.
The match schedule for the 1/8 finals of the Brazil World Cup knockout is the same as in the past. Two adjacent teams staggered for the first round of knockout, that is, A1 vs B2, B1 vs A2, C1 vs D2, D1 vs C2, E1 vs F2, F2 For D2, G1 for H2, and H1 for G2.
In the eight 1/8 finals, each game is divided into 1-8 games, A1 vs B2 is the first game, B1 vs A2 is the second game, C1 vs D2 is the third game, D1 vs C2 is the first Four games in this round of push, until the eighth game H1 against G2.
Then set the first half in the 1/8 finals of 1-8 games, the first and third games, the fifth and seventh games are the first half, the second and fourth games, the sixth and the The eighth game is the second half.
Upper half: A1 to B2, C1 to D2, F1 to D2, G1 to H2.
Lower half: B1 to A2, D1 to C2, E1 to F2, H1 to G2.
The 1/8 final of the Chinese team and Costa Rica is in the second half, which means that the Chinese team can beat Costa Rica in the 1/8 final. The opponent they face will be the winner between the Netherlands and Mexico.
Of course, the 1/8 final has not yet arrived, and it is too early to think about the quarter final.
Costa Rica can stand out in the death group D group, and still qualify as the top of the group, except for a certain chance, the strength should not be underestimated.
In the two days before Recife's preparation for the knockout, the Chinese coach Lippi talked more about the player's mentality. Don't take it lightly because Costa Rica is not well-known, and you must maintain 100% game concentration.
Lippi's focus on the mentality is completely because the general mentality of Chinese players is very complicated and puzzling.
The opponent's weak strength is easy to cause insufficient concentration of the game, and the opponent's strength is strong, and it is easy to surrender, so the fans who watched the past games are very uneasy.
Tang Zheng had a meeting with his teammates after reversing Colombia in the first round of 3: 2. The mentality was indeed right. The second round performed well in the beginning of the face of the Greek team, but as the Greek team played one less, Chinese players were easy The generated contempt was exposed again, so there was a draw to Greece under the excellent situation.
After finishing the group stage, the Brazil World Cup won a two-day break.
Portugal was disbanded on the second day after being eliminated. Cristiano Ronaldo met with Tang Zheng in the hotel where the Chinese team stayed before leaving Recife. Many Chinese and foreign media that were ambushing around the hotel became Extremely excited, he took out the camera in his hand and kept pressing the shooting button.
In fact, Cristiano Ronaldo's purpose in finding Tang Zheng is very simple, that is, to cheer club friends in person.
Because Tang Zheng personally refueled in the match between Portugal and Ghana, Cristiano Ronaldo, the captain of Portugal, naturally wanted to thank him personally, and he was naturally encouraged and supported.
※※※
The World Cup has entered a short period of time. The atmosphere of the World Cup in China has been unprecedentedly enthusiastic, and many business venues are filled with posters about the Chinese team ’s 1/8 final in the Brazil World Cup.
Why do n’t you watch beer all night and drink it for free, go online and watch peanuts all night to get peanuts, buy one and get one free beer at the bar, etc ...
Even many merchants are engaged in pre-orders. If the Chinese team can win Costa Rica, one goal is 10% off, two goals are 20% off, three goals are 30% off, and so on. If you can win ten goals, all will be free.
It must be said that as the Chinese men's football team advances further in the World Cup in Brazil, the domestic economy has also risen by a quarter.
Although it doesn't seem obvious, it makes many businesses earn a lot of money.
You need to know that from the beginning of the Chinese men ’s football team to the World Cup, until now, Yang 1 to Yang 5 are constantly reporting on the preparation of the Chinese team, and as the Chinese team becomes the only team in Asia to advance to the top 16, China The domestic fanatical football atmosphere has become unprecedented.
At this time, the domestic media of Japan and South Korea, which symbolize the peak strength of Asian football, are embarrassed, especially the Korean media.
In the past, the tails of the Korean media and Japanese media were very high, saying that their respective domestic players are top in Asia and can play an absolute main role in the five major leagues in Europe.
But now it seems useless.
Australia, who joined the AFC in 2006, has gradually become easier to qualify for the World Cup, but Australia still has a big gap with the world's top football. The first two rounds have lost to Chile and the Netherlands and were eliminated in advance.
Iran and Japan will not be eliminated early, but only delayed the time of death.
The Chinese team is different. One win and one draw in the first two rounds basically laid the tone for the group's appearance. If it were not for the second round draw with Greece in a good situation, it would have been ahead of the seed team Colombia one round ahead of the group.
After so many years of ridicule and satire by the Japanese and South Korean media, it is now finally coming to light that the Chinese media will inevitably be exaggerated.
Therefore, in the days when the Chinese team was preparing for the 1/8 finals, many Japanese and Korean international students had conflicts with Chinese domestic students, and the fundamental reason was that Chinese fans used the Chinese team ’s excellent results as a show off, which led to the dissatisfaction of Japanese and Korean international students, and then there was a spat Until physical conflict.
In the end, while Chinese players are actively preparing for the 1/8 final, Lippi and his coaching team are also studying Costa Rica.
In fact, Costa Rica ’s ability to qualify from Central and North America is directly related to the three players. The first one is naturally the team ’s number one star, currently playing for the No. 10 Ruiz of Premier League Fulham, and then the La Livant. The goalkeeper Navas, the last one is Arsenal's out-of-90 player Campbell.
The three players happened to form a central axis, plus they played very well and showed the best of themselves. Except for luck, the promotion to the top 16 is largely because they have this strength.
So Lippi communicated with Chinese assistant Li Tie more than once, asking him to ring the alarm every day to avoid the situation that happened in the second round of the group stage.
Tang Zheng is the first star in China. He has a high influence in the team. He often cooperates with the Chinese assistant Li Tie to instill the meaning of concentration in the game.
Moreover, Costa Rica is not a rabbit, and the Chinese team is not a lion.
Although Costa Rica ’s personal reputation ca n’t be compared to Tang Zheng ’s, but it ’s not much different than many players ’strengths. With the addition of three more famous players, Ruiz, Navas and Campbell, they played the best Strong strength.
Suddenly, the two-day gap between the World Cup in Brazil passed and the battle was rekindled.
There were two 1/8 finals on the first match day of the knockout stage. The first match was hosted by Brazil and the opponent was Chile.
However, due to time constraints, Tang Zheng did not have time to pay attention to this game, because the game time is two o'clock in the Brazilian local time, the Chinese team has an outdoor training plan, he can only watch the short live broadcast of the game through the training break.
Both teams played very cautiously in the first 1/8 finals, and coming to the knockout stage meant that no one could afford to lose!
Especially in the ten minutes before the opening, both sides did not invest too much force into the offense, and the focus was more on the defensive end.
Until the nineteenth minute of the game, Neymar took the left corner and grabbed the header of Tiago Silva. After his header, his partner David Luiz scored and scored the goal.
The Chilean team behind the score consciously strengthened the offense. Scolari, who coached the Brazil team, is a defensive expert. He is particularly related to the team's defense.
But there are many accidents everywhere. In the 32nd minute of the game, Brazil's left-back Marcelo threw a backside line. The Hulk Hulk was intercepted by Vargas and the latter was passed into the penalty area. Sanchez The ball scored calmly at the far rib of the penalty area and shot at a low angle.
Since then, both sides have made no achievements and entered overtime.
It's a pity that both sides did not break through each other's gates in overtime and had to enter a cruel penalty shootout.
Just when the training session of the Chinese team came to an end, Tang Zheng was able to watch the penalty shootout with his mobile phone.
In the first round of penalty shootout, Brazil sent central defender Luis. He vigorously scored the goalkeeper goal, and then Chilean player Pinilla, who took the penalty kick, was saved by goalkeeper Cesar.
Brazilian player William, who took the penalty in the second round, tricked goalkeeper Bravo, but his penalty kick missed the goal post.
The next player to take the second penalty on behalf of Chile was Tang Zheng's friend Sanchez, so Tang Zheng holding the phone frame in both hands felt a little nervous.
Sanchez is the number one star in Chile. The pressure on his body is very large. As long as the ball is scored, the penalty score will become 1: 1.
I don't know if it was due to excessive pressure. His penalty kick was also rejected by Brazilian goalkeeper Cesar.
Sanchez in the broadcast picture looks very regretful and painful, holding his head in both hands, it seems that it is hard to believe that his penalty was even saved by Cesar.
The third round of penalties continued, with Marcelo and Alangis representing their respective teams playing the penalty kicks. In the past three rounds, the penalty score was 2: 1, with Brazil leading.
The fourth round can be said to be the turning point of the penalty shootout. Hulk's penalty was blocked by Bravo with a leg. Midfielder Dias withstood the pressure and penalized the penalty kick to equalize the score.
The fifth player in the Brazilian penalty shootout was Neymar, who withstood the pressure and hit the ball in the lower left corner of the goal.
Although the fifth leading player on behalf of Chile, Hara, had deceived goalkeeper Cesar, but his penalty was rejected by the crossbar ...
As a result, Brazil eliminated Chile by a total score of 4: 3 and became the first team to advance to the quarter-finals of the World Cup.
The 1/8 final held two hours later is still a South American derby, with Colombia playing against Uruguay at the Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro.
It is worth mentioning that in the final round of the life and death battle between Uruguay and Italy, the striker Suarez had an obvious action to bite Chiellini during the game. Although the game was not seen by the referee, it was difficult to escape after the game responsibility.
The FIFA Disciplinary Committee made a decision to Suarez to ban nine games. The first ban was the 1/8 final between Colombia and Uruguay.
The remaining eight bans are the remaining games of Uruguay ’s World Cup. If the 1/8 finals are eliminated, the remaining eight games will naturally extend to the World Cup qualifiers.
At the same time, he cannot participate in football-related activities within four months and is fined 100,000 Swiss francs.
The most beneficial for Colombia is undoubtedly that Suarez missed the 1/8 final, so Colombia will have much less pressure on the defensive end.
Cavani's ability is also outstanding ~ EbookFREE.me ~ But if Suarez is not in the frontcourt, Cavani is also difficult to find opportunities.
The 1/8 finals of Colombia and Uruguay started at 8 p.m. local time in Brazil. Tang Zheng, as usual, watched the live broadcast in the hotel room with his better teammates.
I have to say that Hames Rodriguez is in a very good state. He took the national team's offensive flag when Falcao missed the World Cup finals due to injury. He was in the 28th half of the first half. Minute scored a skill and shocked the left foot of the four-seater volley.
Unsolved world wave!
It was only five minutes from the second half, and it was Hames Rodriguez. He received Quadrado's header in the penalty area and struck directly with his foot. He scored twice and scored in the personal World Cup. The sixth goal.
In the subsequent game, there was no success. Colombia finally defeated Uruguay twice with the popular fried chicken Hames Rodriguez scored 2-0 and advanced to the quarterfinals. The quarter-finals will face host Brazil.
Tang Zheng was very envious of Hames Rodriguez, who saw the spring breeze in the broadcast.
Despite the loss of Falcao, Colombia ’s biggest card star, Seon lost all knowledge, and the younger Hames Rodriguez shined, leading the national team to the quarterfinals.
So Tang Zheng was wondering if the fourth 1/8 final at the Pernambuco Arena tomorrow night would lead the national team to beat Costa Rica and advance to the quarterfinals like Colombia.
At the end of the game, teammates left, Tang Zheng still thinking about the 1/8 finals tomorrow night.
Not knowing how long it had passed, he came to the window and looked at the city night view of Recife through the glass window, and his mind gradually became firmer.
The 1/8 finals only, do you need to worry so much?
all will be good!
