Football: start copying peak Messi attributes

Chapter 295 The Knockout Game Released (Excessive Chapter)
After Spain beat Australia to advance to the first place in the group, the hopes of the Netherlands and Chile for the first place in the group were completely shattered.

Now the two teams can only fight to the end for the last promotion spot!

As opponents in Group A, the Netherlands VS Chile game not only attracted the attention of fans from the two countries, but fans of the host Brazil team also paid special attention to the result of the game.

As the group No. 16 in Group A, Brazil's opponent in the round of [-] is the winner of this game.

In terms of strength, the uncrowned king Netherlands team must be stronger, and because of this, the Brazilians are not willing to meet them in the top 16.

Relatively speaking, the Brazilian team knows better about Chile, its old rival in South America.

巴西和智利历史曾经交手过68次之多，巴西48胜13平7负，进158球丢58球。

In addition, Brazil's home record is 15 wins and 4 draws and remains unbeaten. In the past 12 matches between the two sides, Brazil has 10 wins and 2 draws and remains unbeaten.

Judging from these data, the Brazilian team has an advantage in all aspects. If they meet Chile in the round of 16, they have a very high probability of advancing to the quarterfinals.

But if the opponent is replaced by the Netherlands, then the Brazilian team's chances of advancing are much smaller.

巴西和荷兰在历史上交战过11次，巴西队3胜5平3负，进15球失15球，一点便宜都没占到。

The most recent match between the two teams was a friendly match in June 2011. Brazil and the Netherlands drew 6:0. Moving forward, it was the quarter-finals of the 0 World Cup. The Netherlands beat Brazil 2010:2. Sent back to my hometown.

As a result, almost all the Brazilian fans who came to watch the game changed and temporarily became fans of the Chilean team.

In the name of cheering for the compatriots in South America, in fact, they have their own little calculations in their hearts.

The game between the Netherlands and Chile was very anxious, and it can be seen that the state of the Netherlands team has not yet adjusted to the best.

Chile on the opposite side has made a lot of targeted adjustments in defense after learning the lesson of being bloodbathed by Spain in the previous game.

These adjustments have effectively curbed the Dutch team's offense!
Until the 75th minute, the score was still 0:0.
The goalkeeper of the Chilean team, Bravo, really seemed to be on the hook, high and low, and saved the threatening shots of the Dutch team one by one.

This outstanding performance has completely conquered the scouts of those giants. The scouts from Barcelona have submitted a report to the club, suggesting that the club should recruit this outstanding Chilean goalkeeper after the World Cup!

If the game ends according to this score, then the Chilean team will advance to the top 2 with a goal difference of -16.

However, in the 77th minute, the first goal of the game finally came.

The Netherlands took advantage of a corner kick and Robben passed the ball to Jan Matt outside the penalty area.

The Dutch full-back, who was almost blown away by Lin Quan in the last game, made a contribution in this corner kick tactic.

He did not pass the ball immediately after stopping the ball, but waited for the opportunity for the defender to rush out, and then passed the ball into the penalty area, assisting Fer, who replaced Sneijder, to score the first goal of the Dutch team in this game!
The score became 1:0!

The goal saved the Dutch team from the brink of elimination, and now it is Chile who have fallen into the abyss.

The Chilean team had to give up the defensive counterattack and went all out to attack!

In the final stage of the game, the situation on the court turned into a situation where the Chilean team went all out to besiege the Dutch team.

However, such a siege not only failed to score a goal, but gave the Dutch team a chance to counterattack quickly.

In the 92nd minute, the 20-year-old teenager Depay scored his first goal in the World Cup, helping the Dutch team seal the victory.

In the end, the Chilean team was eliminated by the Dutch team and fell in the final round of the group stage when they could qualify for a tie.

With the elimination of the Chilean team, the promotion teams of Group A and Group B are all released.

Brazil, ranked No. [-] in Group A, and Mexico, No. [-], will face the second-ranked Netherlands in Group B and the No. [-] Spanish team in Group B in the quarter-finals.

In this confrontation, apart from the fact that the Spanish fans are aloof and feel indifferent, the fans of the remaining three teams are very dissatisfied.

Mexican fans have already wailed, feeling that their team can be carried away.

Fans of the host Brazil team and the uncrowned king Netherlands team felt very nervous. Their opponents are very strong.

However, it is not without good news for the Netherlands and Brazil. After staggering Spain, the two teams will not encounter Spain before the final.

However, apart from Spain, there are many strong teams in this World Cup. It is not an easy task to reach the final.

After the matches of Group A and Group B, the final rounds of other groups also started.

C组中，日本队最后一轮1：4惨败给了哥伦比亚，最终以1平2负进2球丢6球的糟糕成绩结束了自己的世界杯之旅。

The Japanese team is not a traditional strong team, and their best result in the World Cup is only the top 16, so this result can only be said to be no surprise.

However, the exit of the Japanese team still made Asian fans, especially East Asian fans, wailing.

The Japanese team is considered the strongest men's football team in East Asia. Even they were beaten so badly in the World Cup. If they were to play on other teams, the result would be even worse.

Compared with the Japanese team, the Greek team, which lost to Colombia in the first game, performed a miracle instead.

After a disastrous defeat in the first round and a tie with the weak Japanese team in the second round, the Greek team defeated Côte d'Ivoire in the final round.

Côte d'Ivoire also became the second team in this World Cup to qualify after a tie, but was eliminated as a result.

In Group D, Italy lost 0:1 to Uruguay in the last round, and they were also eliminated after a tie.

As for another European team, England, they tied Costa Rica 0:0 and were out of the group with a record of 1 draw and 2 losses.

In the end, the teams that qualified in Group D were Costa Rica and Uruguay. The two South American teams had the last laugh, and the two European teams went home.

With the confirmation of the qualifying teams of the CD two groups, their matches in the knockout rounds will also be released.

In the quarter-finals, Colombia, No.1 in Group C, will face Uruguay, second in Group D.

Greece, second in Group C, will face Costa Rica, first in Group D.

It is worth mentioning that if Spain defeats Mexico to advance to the quarter-finals, their opponents in the quarter-finals will be produced among Costa Rica and Greece.

In Group E, the two teams that qualified were France and Switzerland, and two teams from the Americas, Honduras and Ecuador, were eliminated.

In Group F, Argentina defeated Nigeria 3:2 in the final round, winning all three games and qualifying for the first place in the group.

The game was dramatic and Messi scored in just three minutes.

As a result, Musa on the opposite side equalized the score in the 4th minute. Boss May scored another goal in the 45th minute, and Musa also equalized again in the 47th minute.

Messi is a little suspicious of life, who is this guy, so fierce?

Fortunately, Argentina's third goal was not scored by Messi, and Moussa on the opposite side seemed to have lost his magic and failed to equalize the score again.

Although Argentina won all three games, the outside world is even more pessimistic about them.

Before Rojo scored this goal, all goals in Argentina came from Messi.

If Spain is only a little dependent on Lin Quan, then Argentina would have been eliminated long ago without Messi!
They have a lot of shooters in the frontcourt, but the performance of these shooters is really disappointing.

Higuain, Aguero, Di Maria and others failed to score a single goal in the three games. This poor performance is completely different from their outstanding performance in their respective clubs!

Fortunately, Argentina's opponent in the top 16 is Switzerland. Switzerland is not strong, and Argentina has time to adjust its state.

Iran, another Asian team in Group E, had a final record similar to that of Japan, with the same 1 draw and 2 losses, leaving the group at the bottom of the group.

And they scored one less goal than Japan, scoring only 3 goal and conceding 1 goals in 4 games.

This huge gap once again made Asian fans feel extremely frustrated and pessimistic.

Counting the transfer student from Australia, 4 of the 3 teams in Asia have been eliminated, and only South Korea is left.

The South Korean team, with 2 draw and 1 loss in 1 rounds, theoretically still has a little hope of qualifying, as long as they beat Belgium, which is the first in the group, in the last round.

Before the game, fans of the South Korean team clamored on the Internet.

Saying that Japan and Iran are scumbags.

Only the South Korean team can defend the dignity of Asia, and the South Korean team is Asia's last hope to put gold on their faces.

They seem to really regard themselves as saviors, and they firmly believe that the Korean team will surely create a miracle in the last round and become the only Asian seedling to break out of the group stage.

However, the South Korean team failed to create a miracle. Instead, they lost 0:3 when the opponent was sent off by a red card.
This caused all the seaports under their crotch to become boomerangs before the game, which attracted the criticism of countless Asian fans.

"Koreans don't pretend to be dead, come out and take two steps!"

"The guys who shouted down on Japan and Iran before the game, are they afraid to show up?"

"Hehe, he cheated a red card with his exaggerated acting skills, played more than half of the time, and was beaten so badly in the end. What is the glory of Asia? This is clearly a shame for Asia!"

"What do you know? In the parallel universe, the South Korean team has already punched Germany, kicked Spain, and reached the top of the world!"

"Hehe, it is indeed the country of origin of the universe!"

With the disastrous defeat of the South Korean team, the Asian team participating in this World Cup was wiped out, becoming the first continent to be wiped out.

Moreover, in all 12 games, they had a dismal record of 3 draws and 9 losses, scoring 6 goals and conceding 27 goals.

This is definitely the darkest moment for Asian teams in the World Cup!

With the disastrous defeat of Asian teams in the World Cup, many Asian countries have been awakened and realized the gap between them and the football powers. As a result, more and more young Asian players have begun to study abroad.

And their choice of studying abroad is no longer limited to the five major leagues, such as the Portuguese Super League, the Russian Super League, the Eredivisie League, and the Belgian League. The faces of Asian players have begun to appear.

It is worth mentioning that in this game, De Bruyne played very well. He scored one goal and sent two assists, and he scored all the goals alone!
De Bruyne also won the MVP of the game, and was praised by the Belgian national team coach Mark Wilmots after the game.

"Kevin is a very good player. I am amazed by his creativity on the field. At his feet, football seems to have countless possibilities!"

Mark Wilmots himself is a coach who plays an attacking midfielder, so he is very partial to players like De Bruyne who play in the same position as himself.

After training in the Bundesliga and the Premier League, De Bruyne has grown rapidly and has become the core of Belgium's midfielder early.

With him, the European Red Devils look strong and strong, and they seem to be able to compete with other favorites for the title of this World Cup!

Moreover, Belgium's opponent in the round of 16 is the US team, which is not very strong, and their probability of advancing to the quarterfinals is very high.

As for the semi-finals, it depends on whether they can get past Argentina!

If they can get past Argentina, then Belgium will meet Spain in the semi-finals.

Lin Quan and De Bruyne are likely to appear on the field as opponents for the first time!
……

After the game against Australia, Spain began preparations for the knockout stage.

Although the outside world generally believes that Mexico cannot cause too much hindrance to Spain, Spain itself does not dare to be so careless.

There are at least 3 games in the group stage, and after losing one game, it is enough to catch up in the next two games.

But the knockout round is a game to determine the outcome. If the car overturns, it will really be a disaster.

Gui is the number one favorite to win this World Cup. If Mexico capsizes in the gutter, then they must be scolded to death by the fans.

"Mexico's strength is not weak, and we can't face them with the mentality of looking down on them because their world rankings are not as good as ours!"

During the pre-match preparations, Bosque gathered the players together and did a lot of ideological work.

He feels that the team's consecutive victories can easily make the players feel proud and underestimate the enemy, so it is necessary to beat them.

Especially the main central defender Ramos, this guy, as a defender, has actually dreamed of a forward.

He ran forward boldly every time he attacked, and the idea of ​​scoring a goal was almost written on his face.

Bosque could see that Ramos was excited.

This guy has scored 2 goals so far and is the second top scorer in the Spanish team, second only to Lin Quan in goals.

For a defender, there is indeed reason to be excited to score so many goals.

However, the defender's job is to defend, and the goal is left to the striker. If everyone goes to attack, who will guard the goal?

After being scolded, Ramos was a little embarrassed.

The mood seemed to be depressed a lot, but fortunately Bosque did not kill them all. He allowed Ramos to leave his own half and go to the opponent's penalty area to participate in the attack when the team implemented set-piece tactics.

Although Ramos' height is not very high, his header ability is abnormal. Such excellent header ability really needs to be used well.

After all, there are not many tall players in the Spanish team. Although Pique is tall, his header level is average, far inferior to Ramos.

Therefore, when implementing set-piece tactics, allowing Ramos to participate in the header competition can effectively improve the threat of the Spanish team's header.

Lin Quan did not participate in the header training. With his height, it is too difficult for him to compete for the top in the penalty area.

Bosque arranged for him and several shooters to conduct special penalty kick training.

Because of the conservative tactics and the high defensive intensity, penalty shootouts often occur in the knockout rounds of the World Cup.

If you don't practice penalty kick tactics in a targeted manner, if you are dragged to a penalty shootout, you really can only rely on luck.

The strikers have no objection to Bosque's arrangement, but they have a lot of opinion on the goalkeeper who is arranged for them to practice with.

"David, do you have a habit of attacking penalty kicks in only one direction?"

After scoring 10 penalty kicks in a row, Lin Quan stopped the ball and asked De Gea with some doubts.
