Chapter 238 The Plain World Cup

The much-anticipated world No. [-] match day was somewhat uneventful.

There will be three games on the second day.

The first game was played by South Korea against Greece.

The last analogy was beyond all expectations. With Lee Jung-soo and Park Ji-sung’s quick goals in the first and second half, the South Korean team defeated the Greek team 2-0 and took the lead in scoring 3 points in Group B of the World Cup in South Africa. qualifying situation.

Only 7 minutes into the first half, the South Korean team scored a goal with a set kick.Although from a subjective point of view, the whole process can be attributed to the defensive mistakes of Charisteas, ignoring the defense of Li Zhengxiu at the back point; however, from an objective analysis, this goal reflects a lot of inevitability. The growth of Korean football players, and the understanding and implementation of the tactical system of the current Korean team are all in a leading position in Asia.And Park Ji-sung's goal in the second half came very quickly, and he also scored near the 7th point. The goal was a sharper and quick counterattack.Two goals are enough to prove that the South Korean team does not rely on luck and chance to play football, but there must be some internal factors worth pondering. [

There is a folk song in Korea, "To marry a wife, you must marry Dae Jang Geum, and to marry a man, you must marry Park Ji-sung", which fully reflects Park Ji-sung's reputation in Korea.So is Park Ji-sung favored in South Korea because of his handsome looks or playing for top European giants?no.There is a past incident that can illustrate this point.

3 years ago, I saw a Korean football magazine with a friend. It is said to be a famous magazine in Korea. The cover is a right foot covered with scars. record.Koreans admire the hard work of football players in their careers, and scarred feet are the most beautiful.This spiritual aspect affects all Korean players today, regardless of whether they are younger than Park Ji-sung or not, including Lee Jung-soo, Park Joo-young and others, are motivated by this spirit to strive for their football career.

In addition to the personal fighting spirit of Korean players is still commendable, their understanding and application of the tactical system is also worthy of our deep thinking.The South Korean team did a very good job defensively in today's game. Their defense was not like the dense defense and blocking gunhole tactics adopted by the China National Football Team when they defeated the French team 1-0 in the warm-up match. The coordination of the three lines of defense was brought into full play.The two defensive lines of the South Korean team advanced and retreated in an orderly manner. Their reference bodies when they advanced and retreated were Cioris and Yekas. They pinched the vital goal of the Greek team's attack and took the initiative on the field.

Don’t forget that in the warm-up match before the World Cup, the Greek team defeated the China Hong Kong team with a big score of 3:0. According to common sense, China Hong Kong, which can lead the South Korean team all the way in the Asian competition The team had nothing to do in front of the Greek team. How could there be such a big contrast in the actual game.

Even the Greek team members who participated in the game said after the game that the game was far more difficult than they had prepared.

The Greeks were careless, not the Koreans' strategy, but the success of the Huaxia Hong Kong team's strategy.

While watching South Korea celebrate the victory, some media also began to pay attention to the actual combat power of Huaxia Hong Kong. Take the South Korean team as an example. Very abnormal.

However, the media's voice of doubt did not attract too many people's attention, including the Brazilian team, and now all eyes are on the upcoming Argentine team game.

Argentina beat Nigeria 1-0 at Ellis Park in Johannesburg in their World Cup Group B clash in South Africa.In the 6th minute, Veron took a free kick and Heinze headed to the top to score the only goal of the game.

Under the leadership of Maradona, Argentina's promotion to South Africa was extremely difficult and dangerous.Despite this, the blue and white army is still regarded as one of the favorites to win this cup.For Maradona, how to activate the combat power of Messi, the world footballer, will be the key to Argentina's good results.Argentina and Nigeria have faced each other 3 times in history, Argentina got 2 wins and 1 draw to remain unbeaten. In the 1994 World Cup group stage, Argentina won 2-1; in the 1995 Confederations Cup group stage, Nigeria drew 0-0 with Argentina; in the 2002 World Cup group stage, Argentina defeated Nigeria 1-0.

Today Argentina has a formation of 343, with Messi, Carlos Tevez and Higuain on the front line.In the midfield, Veron became the core of the attack, Gutierrez and Di Maria played on both sides, and Mascherano served as the midfielder.On the back line, Heinze, Demichelis and Samuel lined up, and the goalkeeper was Romero.

The Argentine team has such a powerful attack, but only scored one goal.

So far, the performance of the traditional strong teams on the stage is somewhat disappointing, and there has never been a game with a big score.

Like eight years ago, Argentina captured Nigeria again in the first game, with the same opponents and the same score. The difference is that this time Maradona has the number one star in the world that Bielsa never had.

In the just-concluded season, Messi played 63 games in all competitions, but he felt bad for Maradona, "He played for a year and was very tired, but he had a positive attitude, his physical fitness and technique were in the best condition. Try to give him a chance to save strength", but the Barcelona ace himself has a strong desire to fight and has trained well. He is not at all like the "deep-rooted injury" that the physical coach Signorini said. Any physical issues, don't forget (in training) he kicked me very hard."

The first time Argentina penetrated into the restricted area in this campaign was Messi's strong left flank. Under the attack of the four, he still did not hesitate to cut in a straight line.In the 6th minute, the little flea dribbled and broke through the middle again. Seeing that he cut into the restricted area and suddenly shot from the toe of his left foot at the top of the arc, he did not pursue the angle, but he won because of his fast speed and sudden kick. Already scored, and this corner kick directly brought Argentina's first goal.

After Heinze scored, the Argentine formation retreated, and Messi had fewer chances to get the ball. Veron and others tried to distribute the ball to the side as much as possible. , Messi sent a free kick from the right, and Mascherano made a very creative free kick two-for-one cooperation, broke into the right rib of the penalty area, aimed at the far corner and made an arc, but it was Enyeyama again. Like a flying save, the ball was pulled out of the bottom line.

The lifeblood of Argentina is not so much at the helm of Marshal Ma as it is in the hands of Messi. His every move and every gesture is of great significance to the whole team, so even though the performance of the little flea in the qualifiers was mediocre, Diego is still steadfast Print the number 10 as a totem, "Argentina is a Rolls-Royce, and Messi is in the driver's seat."Regardless of the excessive praise, if Messi can be really activated, the Argentine media and fans will not mind no matter how nasty and exaggerated the praise of the old horse is.

Judging from the on-the-spot status, Messi is indeed sick, full of physical fitness, galloping all over the court, actively participating in every attack, left, center, right wing, Argentina's No. 10 is not there.In the 59th minute, Messi started from the center line, broke through at high speed and crossed the opponent's half, and the shot from the left side of the penalty area was blocked by two defenders. After 5 minutes, the five-man combination in the frontcourt counterattacked. Carlos Tevez knocked Higuain on the left side and missed it. [

In the 81st minute, Messi missed another good opportunity. The left wing cut inward with his right foot to Di Maria on his side, and then suddenly "cut forward". Single-handed, but unfortunately the angle is still not ideal after adjustment. He wanted to hit the goalkeeper through the crotch and was blocked by Enyeyama with his legs. The audience sighed.One minute before stoppage time, Messi and Milito hit the wall on the right side in exactly the same way, but this time the ball was too high and was poked out by the opponent first.

Even so, Messi's performance is enough to satisfy Maradona: According to ff official website data, the audience made 12 shots and 4 shots on goal, 84 passes in place 65 times, and 7 passes. He succeeded 6 times, and the running distance also reached 8351 meters.After the game, the old horse hugged Messi's neck and even kissed his lover on the right cheek. "Messi plugged in, great football, moments of excitement, very close to scoring, he is still the best in the Argentine team",

The 343 formation that Maradona offered to activate Messi is actually the same as the 1986 that Bilardo tailored for himself in 3412. Today, the brilliant performance of the new Argentine king made everyone see the King II enthroned hope. The trip to Germany in 06 was just Messi's World Cup experience trip, just like the old horse in 1982, so four years later, can Messi turn Ellis Park into the Aztec 24 years ago?

Why do the Chinese media pay so much attention to Messi’s performance? Because they hope to reflect Li Yu’s performance from Messi’s state. Since Messi can perform like this, Li Yu should not be too bad. In terms of state, Li Yu this season is only better than Messi, definitely not worse than Messi, the only problem that they have in common is that they both play a lot of games in a season.

The last game of the second match day is also what people pay more attention to, England vs. the United States.

But in the game, England's performance seemed to confirm a curse of this World Cup, and all the strong teams were unsatisfactory.

In the first round of the 2010 World Cup group, England drew 1-1 with the United States.In the 4th minute, Husky made the ball, and the new captain Gerrard broke into the penalty area and scored with his right foot.In the 40th minute, Dempsey made a long shot from the outside, and Green threw the ball out of his hand and rolled into the gate.

In a series of warm-up matches before the World Cup, the England team led by Capello performed very well. They have maintained a complete victory in the last 4 games. The two teams have fought 10 games in history, and the England team 8 Wins and 2 losses dominate.The most classic confrontation between the two teams should be in the 1950 World Cup. At that time, the little-known United States defeated England, the originator of modern football, 1-0. Therefore, "England beat the United States 10-1" joke.

In this campaign, Capello selected the striker combination of Rooney and Heskey, Lampard and Gerrard in the midfield, Lennon and Milner one left and one right, Ledley King and Terry guarded the defense, and Green guarded door.In the United States, Donovan and Altidore worked together as a striker, and Howard guarded the gate.

The England goalkeeper once again staged the embarrassing time of the butter hand in the World Cup.

Gerrard's goal in the opening 4 minutes gave the English hope of winning, but then the last scene fans wanted to see happened when goalkeeper Green made a low-level mistake to help the opponent equalize the score.Perhaps people will question why Capello let Green start. ESPN said: "Capello should be responsible for Green's gaffe." Moment becomes the team's timing bomb.

The details of Green's mistakes need to be repeated. After the game, the media also shouted at him. "Sky Sports" condemned: "Green gave a big gift to the US team." "Football 365" website stated: "Green's fingertips mourn England's victory." Reuters said: "Green's super gift gave the United States a point." South Africa's largest sports TV station "Super Sports" also found it difficult to understand this mistake: "Green ruined England's victory."

In fact, before this game, England's legendary goalkeeper Banks expressed concern about the position of the goalkeeper. He even thought that the three goalkeepers of the team were not as good as the American goalkeeper Howard: "I really appreciate Howard. I think he is better than the goalkeeper. England's three goalkeepers must be better." And the fact is just as Banks said, Howard made 7 effective saves in this game, Rooney and Lampard's several threatening shots He successfully resolved all of them, while Green only made 3 saves in the game, especially when he missed Dempsey's threatening shot directly into the net, which became the funniest scene of the game.

After Green made a low-level mistake, the TV broadcast turned to Joe Hart on the bench meaningfully. The latter performed very well in Birmingham last season. A good lineup, in terms of stability, Joe Hart is completely stronger than Green and veteran James, but Capello is worried that he has too little experience in international competitions, and he may also make low-level mistakes in this kind of competition, and Although James, who has played 50 times in the national team, has rich experience, his 39-year-old age is too old.After weighing again and again, Capello finally chose the more compromised Green, but the latter gave the Italian a blow to the head.

In fact, England's goalkeeper crisis is an old problem. In the 2002 World Cup, Seaman missed Ronaldinho's free kick directly into the net. In the main match of the European Championship in 2008, James’ performance was often referred to as “David-Disaster-James”. Robinson also had an embarrassing scene where he kicked the ball directly and caused an own goal. Although it was the embarrassing scene today Green, but switching to the other two goalkeepers may not be able to keep the gate clean.

After the game, the American "Star and Telegraph" said enthusiastically that if Banks, Ray Clemens or Pete Hilton were the goalkeepers for England today, they would certainly not let the American team reap such a surprise. goal.It's a pity that the hero is old, and now England can no longer find a world-class goalkeeper like it was back then.

Another interesting news was also disclosed by the media.

Hours before the game, the two leaders had a special phone call to place bets on their respective countries' first game in South Africa.The White House spokesperson said that Obama is very confident in the team's victory, because the United States defeated the powerful England 1950-1 in the 0 World Cup, and he believes that the team still has the opportunity to perform the same scene 60 years ago this time.

Although football is not the most popular sport in the United States, events of the World Cup level still attract a lot of attention.When he was invited to the opening ceremony in South Africa, Obama originally planned to attend, but the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico forced him to give up the opportunity to Vice President Biden.In this regard, Obama also joked that he felt very sorry.

Unable to rush to the scene like Biden, Obama could only call David Cameron, who was also unable to go to the scene to watch the game, and the other party readily agreed to his request for a bet.The Associated Press stated that Obama's bet was the best beer, but the White House did not specify exactly what brand it was.

Originally, Gerrard's goal in 4 minutes made Obama almost lose the beer. Fortunately, Green's buttery hand helped the US team regain a victory, and the gamble between the British and American leaders finally ended in a draw.

The second match day was also uneventful, only the performance of the South Korean team can make people shine, and there are few bright spots for other teams. [

On the third day, the style of the previous two days was still continued, and it will be dull to the end.

Ghana beat 1 Serbia 0-10 and represented the African team to win the World Cup for the first time.In the 74th minute, Lukovic accumulated two yellow cards and was sent off with a red card.In the 83rd minute, Kuzmanovic handballed in the penalty area and Asamoah Gyan made a penalty kick.It is worth mentioning that this is the first penalty kick in this World Cup.

1 goal, or a penalty kick, the World Cup games so far are a bit too dull.

The next game continued the style of 1:0. Slovenia defeated Algeria 1-0 at Paul Guani's Mokaba Stadium and won the team's first victory in the history of the World Cup finals.

The North African powerhouse Algeria was able to reach the South African World Cup finals again after 24 years, which made fans all over the country rejoice.Due to the good grouping situation, the Algerian domestic media are looking forward to the team's ability to qualify from the group.

Even Zizu made it to the stands to cheer for his hometown team, but Algeria still lost the game.

It was a mediocre game. I hope that the German team that will play soon will not continue the previous style and bring a little vitality to the World Cup!
