Chapter 239 Match Day 3
In a confrontation in the first round of Group D of the World Cup in South Africa, Germany ushered in a good start with a 4-0 victory over Australia at the Durban Stadium.It is worth noting that Germany has sent a total of 16 goals in the last three World Cup openers.In the 8th minute, Podolski scored the first goal; in the 26th minute, Klose made another victory.In the 56th minute, Australian core Cahill was sent off with a red card for a serious foul.In the 68th and 70th minutes, Muller and Cacao scored consecutive goals to help Germany win the first game.
In the warm-up match before the World Cup, Germany's performance was very eye-catching, winning all three games.In history, Germany and Australia have had two confrontation records, and they have won a good result.In the absence of the core Ballack, what kind of performance the German team will bring has become the focus of media attention.
Today Germany formed a 451 formation, with Klose on the front line.In the midfield, Podolski and Müller were active on the wings, Khedira and Ozil were in the middle, and Schweinsteiger was behind.On the back line, Friedrich and Mertesacker partnered as central defenders, Budstuber and Ram one left and one right, and Neuer was the goalkeeper.
The World Cup finally ushered in a goal feast, and the unlucky Australia can only become a spectator for others to celebrate the World Cup!
After the game, Australian team coach Welbeck seemed helpless for the loss, and even said that seeing the performance of the German team today, he believed that the German team would be the biggest favorite to win the championship.And the next game between Australia and Ghana will be a final for him, which will determine whether the team can go to the next round.
"I lost the game, of course I am very disappointed. The German team performed very well today, especially Podolski and Schweinsteiger. Originally we still had a chance. But after the second goal was lost, the team as a whole The deployment was messed up." Welbeck said that there were some changes in the team at the beginning of the second half, but the German team's offensive in the frontcourt was very good, which made them unable to defend and eventually lost the game.Compared with the German team in the 2005 Confederations Cup, today's Germany has become more terrifying. "Germany will be one of the favorites to win this World Cup, they are more integrated now and they are doing better than us."
After the game, some reporters questioned why Welbeck did not adopt a more offensive formation of 442. Welbeck also insisted that there was no problem with his tactical arrangement. "We lost in the midfield today. The midfield of the German team is too strong. If we play 442 instead, the result may not be as good as it is now."
In the next game, Australia will face Ghana. If this game cannot be won, Australia will be doomed to miss the group stage.Welbeck also said that the next game will be against Ghana just like the final.
The youngest German team in history still maintains the original flavor of the German chariot. It made its debut in South Africa and defeated Australia 4-0, continuing the tradition of winning the first match of the last three World Cups with a big score.In Germany's 17 World Cup opening matches, they scored 7 or more goals 4 times, which can be called a masterpiece in football.
慢热从来不是德国队的作风。条顿军团迄今共17次入围世界杯决赛圈,如果剔除1974年两德一同参赛时民主德国首战2-0胜澳大利亚的成绩,只计算德国(联邦德国)的17场首战,成绩是12胜3平2负,总共进47球场均2.76球,而仅失15球场均0.88球。自从在1986年墨西哥世界杯上第一场小组赛被乌拉圭1-1逼平至今,近24年来日耳曼战车已经连续六届世界杯首战告捷。
而且德国队每逢世界杯首秀,常常会打出大比分的经典战役,远的如1954年首夺雷米特金杯那年4-1痛斩土耳其、1958年3-1大胜阿根廷,近的如1990年4-1完爆实力雄厚的南斯拉夫。而近三届世界杯赛上,德国队更是势不可挡,首战进球数都达到4球以上。
There are nothing more than three points to analyze the reasons why the Germanic chariots have won consecutive big scores.First of all, the super strong psychological quality is unrivaled.Many teams are inevitably nervous and cautious when they make their debut in a major competition, but the German team has always had the most indestructible willpower. It is true that the autumn wind sweeps the fallen leaves against the underdogs such as Saudi Arabia, and it is not soft against the less powerful Costa Rica or the Kangaroos. , Even if the chances of winning are in your hands, you will continue to attack and never let go of any chance to score.Even Brazil, the five-time champion, should be ashamed of this point. It is this kind of disposition that allows the German team to take full advantage of the opportunity of World Cup expansion and continue to kill opponents in Asia and North America.
The second is the meticulous tactical deployment of the German team.The victory over Australia in this game is a textbook that has figured out the opponent's shortcomings and hit both sides of the gap.This can't help but remind people of the famous "little note" in the hands of Lehmann back then. It is also the tradition of the Germans to know oneself and the enemy, and to study every detail of the opponent.
The last point lies in the increasingly perfect whole of the German team.Compared with the Argentine team, which is also superior in strength, they will always unconsciously rely on Messi's personal ability in their advancement. Whenever the new football champion encounters difficulties on the court, the offensive of the entire Argentine team will naturally be blocked.The German team is not the case. They do not rely on individual performance, and they do not have gorgeous skills at their feet, but they play a solid and impressive ground attack.
From Klinsmann to Loew, the team's lineup has not changed much, and the style of play is the same, which ensures the team's overall style and stable performance.Even the absence of the captain and big-name star Ballack happens to be more beneficial to the German team in this regard. Compared with the traditional strong bow and hard horse, the German chariot has a bit more Latin charm.There is reason to believe that such a "starless" German team is expected to continue to write wonderful things in South Africa.
The end of the third match day finally let people see the excitement of the World Cup.
The next day there will be three more battles, the European brothers of the Netherlands and Denmark who made their debut.
The Netherlands has been unbeaten against Denmark for 43 years (within 90 minutes).The last time the Oranje lost to their opponents was in October 1967, when Denmark beat the Netherlands 10-3 in the European Cup qualifiers. With confidence, many generals of the Oranje even played twitter and online games easily before the war with Denmark.
In a series of warm-up matches before the World Cup, the Netherlands performed very well. It has been unbeaten in the last 11 warm-up matches, and has won all the last 4 games.The performance of the Danish team is unsatisfactory. The last 4 warm-up matches have lost 3 games. The two teams have only fought 27 games in history. The Dutch team has 11 wins, 10 draws and 6 losses. However, in the history of the World Cup, the two sides have not yet fought. Pass.
In this campaign, Van Marwijk formed a 451 formation. Van Persie rushed forward alone. Van der Vaart, Sneijder and Kevin Dirk were cruising behind him. Van Bommel and De Jong sat in the midfield. Robben substitute.For Denmark, the Gunner God Ta Ben Turner came back in time to lead the starting lineup, and Kahlenberg and Romedal served as the two full-backs.Jorgensen served as the captain, and Liverpool iron guard Agger guarded the defense.
In the 46th minute, Van Persie made a cross, and Simon Paulson's header was refracted on Agger's back and broke the net. The first own goal in this World Cup was born.In the 84th minute, Kurit sealed the victory for the Netherlands.
2:0, the duel between the European brothers is quite exciting.
The Dutch team ushered in a good start to this World Cup, and with the end of this 2-0 victory, the Dutch team has been unbeaten in 20 consecutive international A-level matches.This is the best result in the history of the Dutch team, and it also marks that the Netherlands will continue to set new records in every unbeaten game in the following games.
Although the Dutch won this game did not show their gorgeous style of play very well, the Dutch still proved to the world that they have the ability to win the championship, so as to remove the title of "uncrowned king".And looking at their unbeaten record of 20 consecutive games, we have to admit that this Dutch team does have a combat effectiveness that amazes opponents.During Van Gaal's coaching period, the Dutch team had achieved an unbeaten record of 17 games, but Van Marwijk has made this number a history, and Van Marwijk is also leading the team to create a new record step by step.
20 consecutive unbeaten games proves that the Dutch team has not lost for a long time.And their last loss went back two years ago, on September 2008, 9, the Australians beat the Netherlands 6-2 in a warm-up match.However, after that defeat, whether it was in friendly matches or qualifiers, whether it was at home or in the so-called devil's away game, Van Marwijk's team never tasted the taste of defeat again.In the current World Cup qualifiers, the Oranje has achieved an impressive record of 1 victories, and is the first European team to qualify for the World Cup finals.In the World Cup budget competition in South Africa, the Matador Spanish team also achieved a record of victory, but it lost to the US team in the 8 Confederations Cup, which also brought the Spanish team's 09-game unbeaten record to an abrupt end.If you count from the time of the first European World Cup qualifier in South Africa, the Dutch team has not tasted the taste of defeat for a longer time than the Spanish team.
The Netherlands, as the favorite team to win this World Cup, was not favored by the media and experts before, but the famous Dutch legend Cruyff said: "The Netherlands will be the most underestimated giants." And the performance of the Netherlands It also proved this point. In the warm-up match, they continued their excellent state in the qualifiers and staged big-score victories many times.In the last warm-up match, they beat the Hungarian team, and the team was full of confidence.In the first game, they defeated the Danish team, which will undoubtedly make the Dutch team more confident.Because the strength of the Danish team is also very strong, it is this Nordic team that forced the powerful Portugal to play in the qualifiers, and also made Ibrahimovic and the Swedish team become spectators.
In previous World Cups, the best result of the Dutch team was the World Cup runner-up. They won two consecutive runner-ups in the two World Cups in 1974 and 1978, and they are well-deserved uncrowned kings.And this time they are also working hard to get rid of this somewhat bitter title.The Oranje Corps is constantly advancing towards the highest honor while refreshing its undefeated record step by step.
The second game is the Asian powerhouse Japan, against the African lion Cameroon led by the Cheetah.
How does the cheetah lead the lion?
Since entering the World Cup finals for the first time in 1998, Japan has appeared in the top 32 for four consecutive times.However, in the pre-match warm-up match, their performance was quite bad. After losing to their old rival South Korea 0-2, Japan lost to England and Côte d’Ivoire 1-2 and 0-2 consecutively. They lost all three warm-up matches Results put head coach Takeshi Okada under tremendous pressure.
喀麦隆在热身赛中的表现也非常糟糕,2平2负的战绩让现任主教练勒古恩非常头疼。历史上日本和喀麦隆曾经3次交手,日本2胜1平保持不败。2001年联合会杯小组赛,日本2比0获胜,2003年友谊赛,双方战成0比0平,2007年友谊赛,日本2比0再度击败喀麦隆。
In the end, the Japanese team defeated Cameroon 1-0 at the Liberty Stadium in Bloemfontein and won their first World Cup finals victory on a non-native continent.In the 39th minute, Keisuke Honda, who played for CSKA Moscow, scored the only goal of the game.
Before the first match against Japan, Cameroon's number one player, Samuel Eto'o, made a bold statement: "Cameroon will surely make history and win this World Cup championship!" Although Cheetah's strong words are a bit exaggerated, many media predicted before the game that the lineup is complete and the group Cameroon, which is under relatively less pressure, is still worth looking forward to in the group breakout.However, no one expected that in the first match against Japan, the weakest player in the same group, the African Lions ended embarrassingly with 0-1.
As a veteran powerhouse among African teams, Cameroon has a record that is enough to stand out from the crowd.In history, Cameroon has advanced to the World Cup finals 6 times, the most times among African countries.In addition, it should be pointed out that the top 90 results created by the African Lions in the 8 World Cup have not been broken by African countries so far.At the same time, in the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games in the past, Cameroon even shined brilliantly. By defeating Spain with a penalty kick in the final, Cameroon became the second African team to win the Olympic gold medal after Nigeria.It can be said that Cameroon's football history was once quite brilliant.
Before the start of this World Cup, through the analysis of all aspects of the six African teams, the media once believed that Cameroon was most likely to break through the group.Especially in the last warm-up match, although Cameroon lost 6-3 to Serbia, compared to the Eastern European iron cavalry, Cameroon’s No. 4 goalkeeper Kameni, midfielder Song and striker Eto’o were all absent. .However, the African Lions are still only a formidable opponent who lost at home by 1 goal. No wonder the authoritative media "Guardian" said that Cameroon will represent the African team to take the lead in breaking through the group.
However, what is surprising is that Cameroon lost 0-1 against the weakest Japanese team in the same group in the first game.In fact, in this game, Cameroon was not without opportunities, especially in the final period of the second half, including several very threatening attacks that hit the lintel, which almost rewritten the score.What is very puzzling here is that neither the No. [-] goalkeeper Kameni nor the absolute core of the midfielder Song appeared in this game.Cameroon coach Le Guin is known for dethroning big names. I don't know if the two main players of Xuezang this time came from this.
After defeating Japan in the first match, Cameroon's qualifying situation is in jeopardy.After all, the other two opponents in the group, Denmark and the Netherlands, are far superior to Japan, which has never won a World Cup match outside its home country before.This time the African Lions want to break through the group, the difficulty is self-evident.
Although the Japanese team won a small victory in the first game, the pre-match rhetoric of the head coach Takeshi Okada is probably as unconvincing as Eto'o's winning rhetoric.Okada Takeshi once said: This World Cup Japan will advance to the semi-finals.Although this time the first battle was successful, if the Japanese want to replicate the Asian history created by the Koreans in 02, let alone abroad, even in Japan, it has proved difficult to achieve.
In fact, apart from Cameroon, the performances of several other African teams that have already appeared are quite mediocre.Among them, South Africa drew 1-1 with Mexico in the opening game, Nigeria lost 0-1 to Argentina, Algeria lost 0-1 to Slovenia, although Ghana beat Serbia by 1 goal yesterday, Essien, Muntari and others were absent The prospect of qualifying for the African youth army is still worrying. The only one of the six African teams that has not yet appeared is Côte d'Ivoire, but the African elephants, who were once again assigned to the death group, are also not optimistic about qualifying for the group.Generally speaking, the African Legion fighting locally is already in danger.
The following will be the defending champion Azzurri, their opponent is Paraguay from South America.
The Italian still continued the old tradition of a bad start in the competition, only scoring 1 point on Paraguay, and the two teams finally drew 1:1.
In 2010, when Italy went to war, it faced serious problems.The core of the team is seriously aging. Pirlo, Buffon, Cannavaro and others are all over 30 years old, and their status has declined a lot; the players in multiple positions of the team are not from traditional giants, such as Pepe of Udinese , Genoa Cristo.The most important reason is that, as the foundation of the Italian national team, the Serie A has been in an alarming decline in recent years. Not only the league teams suffer from financial problems, but also the loss of league stars is serious. These make the Italian team underestimated and neglected , Be despised.
But even so, Italy cannot be ignored.The Italian team has always been like this. The more difficult it is, the more powerful it can explode.isn't it? In the 1994 World Cup 18 finals, Nigeria led Italy to 88 minutes, but Baggio's lore helped Italy turn defeat into victory. In the 2006 World Cup, Australia once led by 89 minutes, but was defeated by Italy's magical lore.All this proves that the Italian team is such a team: they do not have the most luxurious lineup, the best stars, and even the Italian team does not have the most powerful strength.However, the more difficult it is, the more terrifying this team will be!With strong fighting spirit and extraordinary tenacity, the Italian team can always create miracles.
In the warm-up match before the World Cup, Germany's performance was very eye-catching, winning all three games.In history, Germany and Australia have had two confrontation records, and they have won a good result.In the absence of the core Ballack, what kind of performance the German team will bring has become the focus of media attention.
