Midfielder Ruler - v5 Chapter 132
“Beep ~ beep ~ beep ~~”
With the three long whistle of the Turkish referee Gunet Jacquel, the third round of the Group D group match between Argentina and Nigeria was declared over, and finally Argentina scored 2: 1 with two goals from Messi and Rojo Defeat Nigeria and stand out from Group D with four points in three games.
However, at the same time, he also brought endless troubles to the Argentine fans, because Argentina will face the big champion France in the 1/8 finals.
Of course, it is very rare for Argentina to qualify from Group D. Naturally, it is no longer possible to ask for opponents in the 1/8 finals.
French players who are concerned about the two group matches of Group D are very speechless. It has been known that Argentina can kill Nigeria, and it is better to draw with Denmark. It is more important to go further than the first face of the group.
Even if fans are allowed to choose a strong team face and laugh to the end, it is estimated that 99% of fans will choose to laugh to the end.
However, French coach Deschamps and French players do not regret it. Although Argentina is also a big winner, Argentina is not Argentina four years ago. Messi in the Argentine national team is not Messi in the club. It is simply insufficient. As a basis.
According to the knockout schedule for the World Cup, the 1/8 finals of the Chinese team and Croatia are scheduled in the fourth game, which will be played at the Nizhny Novgorod Arena in Nizhny Novgorod. The time is July 1st local Russian time Nine p.m.
For the Chinese team’s second 1/8 final in the history of the World Cup, Chinese fans naturally look forward to it. Like the previous three group matches, the tickets for Chinese fans are scheduled to be sold out early, and a large number of tickets for Russia Chinese fans who are not short of money can buy it, even if the transaction price is much higher than the face value of the ticket.
The Chinese team flew from Sochi to Nizhny Novgorod at noon the next day to prepare for the 1/8 final against Croatia.
It is worth mentioning that while preparing for the 1/8 final, the Chinese team reported that FIFA President Infantino and Russian President Putin sincerely invited the two heads of state to watch the 1/8 final of the Chinese team and the Croatian team.
As for why he was invited in the first game of the knockout, it has a direct relationship with the Chinese team encountering a stronger Croatia …
However, the Chinese team really can’t run over Croatia, should it go further?
As an important propaganda and public opinion organization created in the early days of the country, it has been working under the direct leadership of the Party Central Committee since its birth, shouldering the sacred mission entrusted by the party and the people, exerting its role as a mouthpiece, ears, eyes, think tank, and information gathering, and leading the country ’s unity The ethnic people have made important contributions to the major victory of revolution, construction and reform, so the relevant reports are extremely authoritative, which means that the Chinese team will have the figure of Xi Xiu in the 1/8 final in the Nizhny Novgorod Arena.
The Chinese players preparing for the battle, while carrying great pressure, also feel the surging sense of power. Regardless of the outcome of the game, they can all see the boss Xi and even have a chance to shake hands.
For players, it is Guangzong Yaozu’s business!
It is inevitable to feel the pressure when the game comes to the knockout. After all, you will go home after losing, and everyone will have the pressure, but the players feel more of a surging power, because they know that the head of state is second to none in their own lives. Countably, if you play well, it is entirely possible to get praise from the head of state!
Thinking of this, the enthusiasm for player training has greatly increased.
The last round of the other four groups continued, and Tang Zheng in preparation was also concerned, especially in Germany and South Korea.
The surprise was that when Sweden led Mexico by three goals, the German team even conceded two goals in the injury stoppage time. They lost to Korea, who lost both games in the previous two games, and lost the promotion opportunity. It is a pity.
Tang Zheng sitting in front of the TV and watching the live TV broadcast for a long time failed to calm down the ripples in his heart. It is a normal result that the German team, which is obviously stronger, takes South Korea lightly, but many times the game cannot be measured by strength.
Throughout the game, the German team has an absolute advantage, but there are few threats to the Korean team’s goal.
Tang Zheng regrets not that Germany failed to advance, but suffered from Royce.
The 2014 World Cup in Brazil and the 2016 French European Cup were consecutively absent due to injuries, and they finally caught up with the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
The best Royce meets the worst German team.
Is a kind of sorrow.
Due to Germany ’s loss to South Korea, even Mexico ’s three-ball defeat to Sweden will still qualify for the 16th World Cup. However, if there is no accident, Mexico, which was the first team in the group, will most likely face five-star Brazil and major gaming companies. The most promising World Cup winner!
The result was no surprise. In the two group matches that took place later, Brazil beat Serbia 2: 0 and Switzerland 2-2 against Costa Rica.
The remaining Group G and Group H qualifying situation is basically clear, especially Group G, England and Belgium have already joined hands as early as the end of the second round of the group, their third round of direct battle is more like fighting for who will be the second group To avoid the powerful upper half.
The suspense of Group H lies in the choice of two out of three. From the point of view, Japan and Senegal have the best chance to become the last two 16 teams in this World Cup.
Japan only needs a draw to guarantee advancement in the face of Poland, which is the same. Senegal, who scored four points in the two games, is also the same. Only Colombia, who lost to Japan in the first round, needs to win in the final round to advance.
After ninety minutes of fierce battle, Colombia finally defeated Senegal 1: 1, because Japan lost to Poland 0-1, and the winning Colombia topped Group H.
So, the question came. Both Japan and Senegal, who lost, scored four points, scored four goals and lost four goals, and their mutual records were all tied. Who will advance to the round of 16?
According to the relevant regulations of this World Cup, when the number of goals, the number of goals conceded and the record of each other are the same, it is not the lottery, but the number of red and yellow cards of the two teams. The advantage of taking a handful of cards and thrilling pressure over Senegal became the last team to qualify for the top 16.
The last two games of Group G are related to the group ranking and the battle of glory. In the end, Belgium won England 1-0 and Tunisia 2: 1 reversed Panama.
With the end of the two group matches of Group G, the 48 group matches of the 2018 World Cup in Russia have ended, and the 16 teams qualifying for the knockout have settled down.
Nine European teams, four South American teams, two Asian teams and one Central American and Caribbean team.
The eight matches of the 16 teams are arranged in the upper and lower half respectively. The Chinese team that Chinese fans follow is arranged in the second half together with Croatia according to the Russian World Cup knockout format.
Interestingly, the first half and the second half are completely two worlds, because the entire first half except Japan, the other teams are very strong, can be called the first half of death.
First half match: A1 Uruguay VS · B2 Spain, C1 France VS · D2 Argentina, E1 Brazil VS · F2 Mexico, G1 Belgium VS · H2 Japan.
Against the second half: B1 Portugal VS · A2 Russia, D1 Croatia VS · C2 China, F1 Sweden VS · E2 Switzerland, H1 Colombia VS · G2 England.
According to the schedule, once the Chinese team defeats Croatia to advance to the quarter-finals of the World Cup, the team will be the winner between Portugal and Russia. If they can win the winner between Portugal and Russia, the Chinese team Will enter the semi-finals of the World Cup!
Even, it is possible to reach the finals!
There are many domestic media and fans thinking about and researching, this possibility is really very likely to happen!
The entire second half, only England won the World Cup in 1966.
With the Chinese team’s weak strength and some luck, everything is possible!
Of course, since the tall buildings are on the ground, the first thing the Chinese team needs to do is beat Croatia!
※※※
Forty-eight group matches ended, and the Russian World Cup ushered in a one-day break.
Is a torment for fans, and it is even more so for the 16 teams in preparation, because in the near future they will have to struggle for 90 minutes, or even 120 minutes for their further progress.
The 1/8 finals of the Chinese team and Croatia were scheduled for the second game on the second day of the knockout stage, which is at 9 p.m. local time.
Before this, there were three contests.
France VS Argentina, Uruguay VS Spain and Portugal VS Russia.
There is no doubt that the most watched 1/8 finals are France and Argentina, the direct confrontation between the two winning teams.
The two sides have recorded eleven matches, including nine international friendly matches and two World Cup matches.
In the record of the confrontation between the two sides, Argentina wants to have an advantage, six wins, three draws and two losses, scoring 12 goals and losing 7 goals.
The last match took place in February 2009. Argentina defeated France 2-0, but it is now nine years away, so it has little reference value.
The World Cup has fought twice, and Argentina has won both games.
Considering that the last time the two teams played in the World Cup dates back to the 1978 World Cup in Argentina, it also has no reference value.
Of course, for Chinese fans, the Chinese team and Croatia’s 1/8 final is the real focus.
Team preparations, do not want to miss.
Although several players in the Chinese team’s frontcourt are only in their twenties, and their careers are still long, fans know that the peak period of the Chinese team may only be this one, because … Tang Zheng is 28 years old this year, four years later The Qatar World Cup is thirty-two years old, and the state of competition at that time is unpredictable.
Was at the peak of his career in Tang Zheng, and it was the best moment for the Chinese team to achieve the best result in the World Cup.
Otherwise … why only Tang Zheng can be called the world’s top superstar?
The one-day World Cup gap was fleeting, with France VS Argentina and Uruguay VS Spain 1/8 finals close at hand.
The football atmosphere of the cities Kazan and Sochi, which hosted the two 1/8 finals, has become fanatical again. No matter which national team fans, they are venting the indescribable excitement and surging feeling in their hearts.
However, what Chinese fans are most concerned about on this day is not the two 1/8 finals, but the head of state Xi Xi, who was jointly invited by FIFA President Infantino and Russian President Putin, will visit the Chinese team and Croatia Russia in person The fourth 1/8 final of the World Cup.
※※※
On the day of the game between France VS Argentina and Uruguay VS Spain, the Chinese team and the Croatian team staggered the time to come to the Nizhny Novgorod Arena to adapt to the game attempt, also known as the stepping on the field.
Croatia is arranged by the organizing committee in the afternoon to adapt to the venue, while the Chinese team is arranged in the morning.
Chinese players know that the Xi Lao General Assembly who arrived in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, was very excited to meet everyone. The training atmosphere was very good. The 23 players on the shortlist were all eager to try and were in a hot state.
When the whole Chinese team entered the state of joint training, I didn’t know who shouted: “Look ~ it’s Xi Bo and Mrs. Xi, and Putin and Infantino!”
I saw Mr. Xi and Mrs. Xi who were smiling and accompanied by Russian President Vladimir Putin and FIFA President Infantino from the player channel into the Nizhny Novgorod Arena. It was exactly the sight of Tang Zheng and others. match.
In addition to coach Lippi seeing no big mood swings, the team captain Tang Zheng reacted fastest.
As China’s number one sports star, Tang Zheng was summoned by the boss Xi in Germany, Spain, and China, so the surprised expression was replaced by a smile, and then he took the initiative to welcome him behind the head coach Lippi.
The entire Chinese team, except Tang Zheng’s natural-looking conversation with Xi Boss, Mrs. Xi, Putin and Infantino, the other players are in a state of coercion.
They are not even as good as Tang Zheng ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ has received limited attention, but as the head of state * apparently did some homework before coming, he can call out the names of each player, And shake hands one by one, making these players in a state of coercion return to reality.
Although they have been psychologically prepared for a long time, when they actually face the head of state, they will be a little nervous, even those old players who participated in the Brazil World Cup four years ago can not be avoided.
Of course, after the simple inspiration of Xi Bo, these players changed back to the first team, leaving only captain Tang Zheng to talk with Xi Bo, Putin and Infantino.
Lu Liang, who had been untrained not far away, looked at Tang Zheng and said enviously: “Zheng’s heart is not really big. He can even talk to and laugh at boss Xi, Putin and Infantino. Said! “
Sun Jingbo tapped his head and enviously said, “Yeah, I don’t know if I will have the achievements of Brother Zheng in the future!”
The other players did not speak, but the envious eyes were enough to explain everything.
At this moment, Ye Erfan, who scored the only goal of the Chinese team in the third group game, suddenly shouted: “Look! Brother Zheng is taking a group photo with Xi Bo and Putin! No, it’s a selfie!”
Everyone turned their heads to see that Tang Zheng was standing in the middle with his mobile phone. Xi Bo and Putin were standing on both sides with smiles. Tang Zheng’s left thumb kept pressing the camera button on the phone screen.
In October 2015, Mr. Xi visited the United Kingdom. Aguero issued a selfie on his personal social network with Mr. Cameron and Mr. Xi, the prime minister of the United Kingdom, and then the selfie was called the most powerful selfie by fans of various countries.
If this photo is published, do you want to say the most cow selfie?
