Vol 3 Chapter 70: Playoffs

"Ronaldo, you liar."
"so bad!"
After the game, Dong Fangzhuo ran to the Portuguese dressing room and caught Ronaldo.
With a punch on Ronaldo's chest, he grinned.
"Congratulations, you are promoted."
C Luo is sorry, a bit hiding from Dong Fangzhuo.
"Uh, you know,"
"China is stronger than Portugal, we want to go to the second half..." Ronaldo expressed his thoughts.
"The second half should go further, hahaha."
"Just laugh... can't you see this year's game? No one is good at playing, you have to be careful, don't be as careless as your teammates, you will die!"
"I am serious."
Ronaldo stopped his smile.
"Ok, I know."
"This is really a strange World Cup, I always feel very different from before." Ronaldo said that he recognized, of course, he also felt that this cup is different.
And two days later, when all the teams' games were over and the event organizers counted the group games, many records were incredible.
Because of the intervention of VAR technology, penalty kicks have increased.
The record of 18 penalties held in the 2002 World Cup was created through 64 games, and the current World Cup broke the record of 18 goals in just 36 games. Ever since FIFA announced the introduction of VAR in this World Cup, there has been controversy. The controversy over VAR is more concentrated on the result of a penalty kick-this is also the direct reason for the sharp increase in the number of penalties so far in this World Cup. 48 games in the group stage, resulting in 23 penalty kicks and 18 penalties. From the current trend, the number of penalties will continue to rise.
The second point is that there are so many non-goals!
In this Russia’s World Cup, there were 36 games without 0:0, and it was not until the third round of the group stage that France 0:0 Denmark was ended, thus breaking the 1954 Swiss World Cup 26 games without 0:0 record, successfully creating a record in the history of the World Cup. No records at most 0:0 in the session.
In the third point, the score of 1:0 is as much as a feather.
1:0 in the group stage of this World Cup has become a dazzling phenomenon. With Belgium defeating England 1:0 in the final group match, the 13th game with a score of 1:0 was born in this World Cup. It is important to know that in the last Brazil World Cup in 2014, the entire event was only 1:0 in 12 games, and the 2018 Russian knockout has exceeded this value before the start.
The next step is the elimination match.
China VS Uruguay, this was known at the end of Group B, but it was not known at the time that there were those teams in the first half.
Now everything is clear.
Russia World Cup 16 strong list: Argentina, France, China, Uruguay, Brazil, Mexico, Belgium and Japan in the first half; Portugal, Russia, Croatia, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, England and Colombia in the second half.
Indeed, Ronaldo and his Portuguese bet on the right, they bet on the second half, and then the second half is obviously much simpler than the first half, at least from the name, the first half is really scary.
It’s surprising, not surprising that the Power 16 is out of Germany. The German chariot can’t run, but it was an accident in Argentina... Messi’s fate in the national team doesn’t look too bad...
But Argentina's opponent is France, and life seems to be no better. Few people really optimistic about them, even if Argentina has Messi, more powerful France is more optimistic. Of course, France’s group stage is actually not very good. In the first round of the group stage, France beat Australia 2-1, in the second round of the group stage France 1:1 victory over Peru, and in the final round of the group stage France 0-0 Denmark. Three group matches scored three goals, including a penalty kick, an own goal, and only one sports goal. France relied on these three goals to score 2 wins, 1 draw and 7 points, and took the top spot in Group C.
Argentina is even worse. Argentina and the first game 1-1 draw with Iceland for the first time in the World Cup, Croatia beat Argentina 3:0 in the second round, Argentina 2-1 Nigeria in the third round, Argentina bumped in the group stage On the verge of death, he was pulled back by the group's big brother Croatia to successfully qualify for the group's second thrill.
Other matches are Brazil VS Mexico, Belgium VS Japan. Portugal VS Russia, Croatia VS Denmark, Sweden VS Switzerland, Colombia VS England.
As for China vs Uruguay?
The Chinese team also played against Uruguay in the last World Cup. In the end, the Chinese team defeated Uruguay 3:2. At that time, the game was controversial. Uruguay believed that China won’t win. The two teams met again this year. Uruguay has Opportunities for revenge, as long as they have the ability.
The team's ace Suarez believes, "Luck can't always be on the Chinese side, we should win this year."
"However, the strength of the Chinese team is still very strong, Spain has been defeated by them, I think we must come up with 200% strength."
"They have the best players in the world. This is their most special place. ~EbookFREE.me~ After Messi is no longer a teammate, Suarez did not speak as carefully as before. He used to open his mouth and shut his mouth. Messi is the best player in the world, and now he has changed his mind.
The media also carefully captured the highlight of Suarez's sentence.
"Louis, did you not say that Messi is the best player in the world? How did he become Dong?"
"Oh, in some years, Messi is indeed, but this year's Dong is indeed the best player, and most of the time he is..."
"But I think it's mainly Dong who didn't show up on the front line. If he shows up on the front line, I believe he has always been." Suarez said nothing hypocritical at all. In fact, his answer did not offend Messi, but he did not have a high opinion of Dong Fangzhuo.
"How do you plan to beat the Chinese team?"
"Defense,"
"Use the best defense."
"We are going to threaten them with a stronger attack, so that Dong can't get close to our big penalty zone and let him return to the midfield. I think that after reaching the knockout stage, Dong will not play the striker again, if he doesn't return to the midfield There is a big problem with the Chinese team's midfield. They used to do this before, and this time it is estimated to be no exception."
"Do you mean that everyone except Dong is not a threat?"
"It can be said that the Chinese team has many excellent players, but they are not enough to pose a threat to us. Thank goodness, they did not bring the few Brazilians in the end, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with."
"You mean naturalized player?"
"Yes, naturalization, that Elkson's threat is still quite big. If he is on the front line, then Dong can concentrate on playing in the midfield."
