future king

The second round of the World Cup group stage is in full swing, but Li Yu's injury, which Chinese people all over the world are concerned about, has not been announced for a long time. What happened?Will he miss the next group stage?

There is no answer to everything. In the past two days, Eriksson has remained silent in the face of the media, and he has kept silent about any news about Li Yu. It is rare to be able to do so in an era of advanced information. However, Li Yu Yu didn't show up on the training ground all this time, which at least explained one problem. He must be injured. What kind of injury is it?Then I don't know!

No way, let's continue to watch other World Cup games.

It's the turn of another strong Asian team, the Japanese team. Before the Japanese Football Association vowed to make a bold statement about making it to the semi-finals. Today's game is the best template to test whether they have the strength to enter the semi-finals. The Japanese team today The opponent is the European giants Netherlands!

In the first round of the Group E clash, the Netherlands still performed well in the absence of Arjen Robben, beating Denmark 2-0.Japan, on the other hand, was in the same state of bravery, beating the African lion Cameroon 1-0.At present, the two teams rank the top two in this group respectively, and the Netherlands temporarily ranks first because of the advantage of goal difference.The two sides meet on a narrow road in this game, whoever can win will basically lock the right to qualify for the group.In this case, the two teams are bound to fight for victory.The Netherlands and Japan have only had one confrontation record in history. In a friendly match in 2009, the Netherlands beat Japan 3-0.

The Netherlands still has a 451 formation today, and the lineup has not changed from the previous battle.Van Persie was at the front of the striker, with Dirk, Van der Vaart and Sneijder ambushing behind him, and De Jong and Van Bommel partnered in double midfielders.On the back line, Van Bronckhorst and Van der Veer are one on the left and one on the right, Matheisen and Heitinga are partners in the center back, and Stekelenburg is the goalkeeper.In Japan, Keisuke Honda, who sent the winning goal in the last game, still sits in the midfield.

In the final score, the Netherlands defeated Japan 1-0 at the Durban Stadium, winning the first two rounds of the group stage without conceding a goal.As Denmark defeated Cameroon 2-1 in another game in the same group, the Netherlands became the first team to advance to the round of 16 in this cup.In the 53rd minute of the game, Sneijder scored the only goal of the game with a long shot.

In the history of the World Cup, the Netherlands has never won the championship, but this team has become the love of countless fans because of the banner of attacking and playing sexy football.However, in the 2010 World Cup, what people saw was a strong and winning team, but not so sexy.The Dutch "Telegraph" said: "This is not like Dutch football! This kind of football once made cows fall asleep..." Then, why did the sexy Dutch football suddenly disappear?

There are many reasons why Holland is no longer sexy, but one thing is definitely the most important, and that is the manager.In fact, under the command of Ben Hacke, Advocaat, Hiddink and others, the Dutch team is indeed extremely sexy, and the victory is hearty (for example, the 5-0 defeat of South Korea, and Bergkamp's lore against Argentina, are all The rare classic battle in the history of the World Cup), the vigor of losing or losing (for example, the 2-3 loss to Brazil made many fans truly appreciate the beauty of football).However, since Van Basten took charge of the Dutch team, the Netherlands has begun to change its style, emphasizing pragmatic football and emphasizing the balance of offense and defense.

In the qualifiers before the 2006 World Cup, the Netherlands defeated Belarus 3-0. After the game, Basten said: "I would rather win three 3-1s." This is a philosophy of Basten.In the 0 World Cup, Basten really played pragmatic football. The Dutch team focused on defense and no longer attacked wildly, so they only conceded 06 goals in all 4 games (2-1 victory over Serbia and Montenegro, 0-2 victory over Côte d’Ivoire, 1-0 0 draw with Argentina, 0-1 loss to Portugal), and only scored 3 goals.But being conservative did not make the Netherlands win the championship and stopped at the top 16, which disappointed the Dutch.

In the 08 European Cup, Basten's coaching style began to change, and the Dutch team re-emphasized offense.In the group match 3, the Dutch team played three sexy football games, beating Italy 3-0, defeating France 4-1, and defeating Romania 2-0. The whole world cheered "Who can stop the Netherlands from violence?" The Netherlands expended too much energy in this kind of attack. The Dutch team was defeated by Russia in overtime in the first round of the knockout round and missed the championship.

This is what the Dutch team has experienced in the past 4 years. In 06, Basten played conservative and failed; in 08, Basten played sexy and failed again.Dutch football is constantly reflecting on whether it should be conservative or sexy?In such a struggle, Van Marwijk, who shouted "offensive football" but was actually more conservative than Basten, became the coach of the Dutch team.

Who is Van Marwijk?This coach has always regarded himself as an "offensive football", but the whole world thinks he is a conservative person to the bone.Two examples: From 2000 to 04, he coached Feyenoord, which also became the team with the fewest goals among the strong teams in the Eredivisie with more goals.At the most time, after a season, Feyenoord scored 20 goals less than Ajax, Eindhoven and other teams. In the 04-05 season, Van Marwijk dismissed get out of class, and the number of goals scored by the Feyenoord team increased from 03 in the 04-71 season to 04 in the 05-90 season!

Van Marweis then went to Borussia Dortmund, in the Bundesliga, he continued his conservative football.After two seasons, Dortmund averaged 46 goals per season.And before he came?In the previous season of Dortmund, the number of goals was 57!The comparison of these data is enough to see how conservative Van Marwijk is.

In today's Dutch team, Van Marwijk's number one player on the front line is Dirk Dirk. Even if Robben comes back, Dirk's position will not be changed because Kuit is willing to defend.In the midfield, Van Marwijk never changed the configuration of the double midfielder, and when necessary, he would even send 3 midfielders to defend. In the 2010 World Cup qualifiers, the Dutch team faced teams like Macedonia and Iceland, and also pursued the 1-0 principle. In the first battle against Norway, the Dutch team once played 5 defenders after taking the lead!These all prove that in order to win, Van Marwijk will not hesitate to abandon the inherent offensive tradition of the Netherlands, and he will never be afraid of being ugly!

Sneijder put it this way: "Two years ago in the European Cup, we won beautifully against Italy and France, but what about the result? People expected us to play beautiful football. But, I don't remember, there was Which world champion or European champion won the championship after playing all 7 beautiful games."

It can be seen that the Dutch team has set the tone.If there is only one choice between "championship" and "beautiful football", the Netherlands wants to be the champion.If being ugly has to be chosen for the sake of being a champion, they don't care.With this mindset, why should it be any surprise that the Dutch game isn't pretty enough?

In the next game, there were not enough well-known teams in the team, and naturally there were few fans who paid attention to it. Even the final game proved this.

Ghana and Australia played 1:1 in the end. It was a lackluster match. Except for two goals, there was no bright spot at all. Perhaps it was because of the overly conservative attitude of the two teams, but it was related to the qualifying places for the World Cup group , How many teams don't do this?

The tragedy of one person also dominated the whole game, 1-1, with one player missing most of the time, the Australian team tenaciously defended a precious draw.While retaining the possibility of the team qualifying for the group stage, it also preserved the hope of the life warrior Kewell to continue to compete in the World Cup.If Australia can beat Serbia in the subsequent group stage, and the German team beats Ghana, Australia will hope to get the right to qualify for the group, and Kewell may get a chance to play in the knockout round.

In this World Cup, Kewell, suffering from the strange disease of "autoimmune hepatitis", went through hardships and finally got on the last train to South Africa.Risking his life to participate in the World Cup, for Kewell, as long as he can appear on the stage, even for 1 minute, it is already a great success.

In the first round of the group match, considering Kewell's physical condition, Australian coach Welbeck did not send Kewell to play, and Australia was sent off, and finally suffered a 0-4 bloodbath by German chariots.Kewell, who witnessed this defeat on the sidelines, obviously could not accept such a result. Before the game against Ghana, regardless of his own illness, he volunteered to play.

"He is a special guy, he is a hero, you know, Kewell may die for Australia." The Australian team doctor Kanalaga commented on Kewell.Kewell's persistence moved Australian coach Welbeck. Before the game against Ghana, he said: "I didn't bring him on vacation. Kewell is very special to us. Now it's time to let him play."

After the start of the game, Kewell really appeared in Australia's starting lineup, replacing Cahill, who was suspended for a red card, as the team organizer.Australia took the lead in the 11th minute. If this score is maintained until the end of the game, Australia is very likely to advance to the knockout round.

Since ancient times, heroes have suffered a lot.In the 25th minute of the game, Kewell was sentenced to death by the referee for an unintentional handball foul during a defense. He received a red card and was sent off. Australia's leading advantage also disappeared with the opponent's penalty kick.On the contrary, because of the disadvantage in numbers, he appeared passive in the game.

Kewell, who was sent off, looked very lonely on the sidelines. This is likely to be his last World Cup game. Members of the Australian coaching staff pressed Kewell's shoulders to express comfort.However, it is obviously difficult to change the mood of this iron-blooded hero.

Obviously, the tragedy and heroism of Kewell playing sick but being sent off infected the Australian players.In the next 60 minutes of the game, although the Australian players did not have an advantage in numbers, with hard work and tenacious defense, they finally kept the score of 1-1 until the end of the game, keeping a line for Australia to advance to the knockout round hope.

Considering that the German team and Serbia in the same group each scored 3 points, while the Ghana team scored 4 points after this game, Australia can beat Serbia in the next game with only 1 point, and the German team beat Ghana by a big score , Australia is very hopeful to get the chance to advance to the top 16.

If this happens, then even if Kewell faces suspension in the next game due to a red card, he still hopes to represent Australia in the elimination.I believe that the players of the Australian team will fight to the end in the next game for Kewell.

The legendary Liverpool coach Shankly once said: "Football has nothing to do with life and death, but football is higher than life and death." But how many people will choose football when they are really facing life and death?If he does not give up football, Kewell, who is terminally ill, may have only two years of life left.At a time when Australia was facing a crisis of being out, the Australian fighters volunteered.God can take away his health, but he can never take away his beloved football dream!

Eight years have passed since he was diagnosed with a terminal illness in 2002.If what the unfortunate doctor said is true—he really only has 5-10 years to live without systematic treatment—the 2010 World Cup may be his swan song.He came to South Africa with an almost tragic belief, but everything that happened on the court can only make people feel sad-it is up to people to plan, and it is up to God...

In the last game of the night, there was less sadness and more passion to fight for the qualifying places.

In the first round of competition in Group E, both Denmark and Cameroon got off to a bad start.Denmark lost 0-2 to title favorites Netherlands, while Cameroon unexpectedly lost 0-1 to Japan.At present, the two teams have 0 points, and Denmark is temporarily at the bottom of the group because of the disadvantaged goal difference.For the two teams, there is no room for loss in this game. Whoever loses may be declared out of the group in advance. In this case, the two teams may bring a wonderful confrontation.There have been two confrontations between the two sides in history, but both were friendly matches. Before the 1998 World Cup, Cameroon defeated Denmark 2-1. Four years later, in the warm-up match of the World Cup in Korea and Japan, Denmark succeeded in revenge 2-1.

Denmark has a 442 formation in this field, and Bendtner and Thomasson form a striker partner.In the midfield, Jorgensen and Romedal will become the core of offense and defense, while the defense will be led by Agger.In Cameroon, Eto'o is still the guarantee of the striker, while in the midfield, Arsenal star Alexander - Song debut.

In the end, Denmark defeated Cameroon 2-1 at the Loftus Stadium in Pretoria. The latter became the first team to definitely miss the round of 16 in this cup, while the Netherlands also became the first team to advance.In the 10th minute, Eto'o opened the scoring for Cameroon; in the 33rd minute, Bendtner equalized the score; in the 61st minute, Romedal scored to seal the victory.

An old man has aspirations for thousands of miles; a martyr is full of ambition in his old age.Cao Cao's famous line through the ages is used by later generations to praise those veterans who can continue to exert their residual heat for the collective.In this exciting game where the Vikings reversed and won the African Lions, Thomason, who wasted two excellent scoring opportunities, realized the bitterness of "cheap old". The former Milan star also regretted missing the Danish The chance of the top scorer in the history of the national team.

Thomason, who wears the captain's armband, has a very high reputation in the Danish national team, and the head coach Olsen of the life-and-death battle with Cameroon also chose to trust this veteran player.Before this game, Thomasson had contributed 109 goals in 51 official games on behalf of the Danish national team, which was only 1 goal behind the scoring record of the top scorer in Danish history, Nelson.In this context, the juniors of the Danish team are willing to make a wedding dress for the captain to help him achieve this great goal.

In the 19th minute of the game, Thomason was focused by the TV cameras for the first time.After Jacobsen got the ball on the right side, he decisively crossed the ball into the penalty area. Thomason, who was outflanking in the middle, did not make a tackle in time under the tight defense of Cameroon defender Nkuru.Jacobson's pass is very comfortable. If Thomasson was in his heyday, it would be easy to complete this rare forward tackle.

There are obvious loopholes in Cameroon's defense on the left, and there is a lot of space behind Tottenham full-back Ekto.In the 41st minute of the game, the Danish team played a quick counterattack, and Romedal went straight into the Cameroon penalty area like a sharp knife.After deftly dunking past the opposing defender, Romedal unselfishly passed the ball back to Thomasson, who was unmarked.In the case of almost facing an empty goal, Thomason actually hit the ball on the opponent's defender Basson, and then his supplementary shot was also over the crossbar.

Coincidentally, in the 70th minute of the game, Thomason once again had an excellent opportunity to tie Nelson's scoring record.This time, it was the selfless Romedal who provided the assist for him. The latter successfully knocked the ball to Thomasson from close range after a clever counter-offside. This time, the former Milan striker once again failed his teammate. Manno easily parried the angled shot.

Not wearing the wedding dress made by his teammates twice in a row, Thomason's self-confidence was hit hard.In the 81st minute of the game, after receiving a wonderful pass from his teammate in front of the penalty area, Thomason did not break into the penalty area to shoot in time. Instead, he returned the ball to Bendtner after the opponent's defender gained a foothold. In the case of bad opportunities, the Arsenal striker His shot also looked weak.Olsen on the sidelines finally couldn't bear it anymore, and the TV camera clearly captured the picture of the Danish coach roaring at Thomasson after the attack.

According to the technical statistics after the Tencent Data Analysis Masters, Thomason completed a total of 3 shots in this game.Although both shots were within the range of the goal frame, wasting two excellent opportunities is a failing performance for a penalty area killer.Thomason, who is getting older, is also at a disadvantage in terms of physical confrontation and headers. He failed 6 confrontations and only succeeded in 1 header.

After defeating Cameroon, the Vikings sent the African Lions home while also laying a solid foundation for qualifying in the group.However, in the next game against Japan, only by winning can we ensure that we enter the knockout round. Considering Thomasson's poor performance in this game, Olsen is very likely to put the Danish captain on the bench in the next battle against Japan. .

Thomasson's poor state in this game is a microcosm of his continued downturn in the national team in recent years. The former Milan marksman's national team scoring drought has lasted for more than 2 years. The last time Thomason made contributions to the Danish team It goes back to February 2008, 2.In that Denmark-Slovenia game, Thomasson scored a penalty kick, and since then he has never scored with the national team.

If the Danish team has any mistakes in the last group match against Japan, Thomasson, who is about to turn 34, will most likely lose his chance to surpass Nelson as the top scorer in Denmark's history.If that's the case, the former Milan star will regret for the rest of his life that he missed two must-goal opportunities in this game.
