Chapter 359 The Intricate Group G Situation

Li Yu's injury has finally recovered almost. Of course, behind the miraculous recovery, Li Yu's points have dropped by as much as 12000 points. Today he is finally in the mood to watch other teams' games.

Jenny was lying on Li Yu's chest comfortably. For a woman, competition is definitely not important, but a man's heart that can be relied on is the most important thing.

Li Yu was watching the match between the Netherlands and Cameroon. Before the first half was over, he noticed Jenny's even breathing, and the little girl fell asleep.

He lowered his head and kissed Jenny's forehead. Thanks to Jenny's care these days, the little girl seemed really exhausted.

If Li Yu of the Huaxia Hong Kong team hadn't been injured, he wouldn't have had a hotel suite alone for the two of them to keep warm. Now Li Yu's injury is recognized as not too serious, and he can play in the final round of the group stage.

The last game against Portugal fully proved this point. Li Yu's injury is almost healed, and some media even suspect that the mask Li Yu wears is completely confusing the opponent, making the opponent think that he has a serious injury and take it lightly. .

He said everything, and the Huaxia Hong Kong team did not respond.

They haven't figured out the whole thing yet, how can I say?No one would believe it!

The competition was quite exciting, but Li Yu lowered his voice in order not to wake up Jenny, and tried his best not to get too excited.

In the 36th minute, Van Persie took the lead for the Netherlands. In the 65th minute, van der Vaart handballed in the penalty area and Eto'o equalized with a penalty kick.In the 83rd minute, Robben hit the post and Huntelaar made a supplementary shot.

Cameroon was still eliminated.

The Netherlands won all three games and won the group top spot.

Recently, there has been a lot of controversy about the fact that the Netherlands is no longer "sexy".Perhaps, you can say that this Netherlands is not as beautiful as the classic Netherlands in history.But in Li Yu's eyes, this Dutch team is more terrifying than those Dutch teams in history!From the World Cup qualifiers to the World Cup group stage, the Netherlands' current record is 11 wins in 11 games, scoring 22 goals and only conceding 3 goals!It is no exaggeration to say that the Dutch team has shown their blue-faced fangs, and they are aiming for the championship.

In the World Cup qualifiers, the grouping situation of the Dutch team was not particularly good. There were Norway, Scotland, Macedonia, and Iceland in the same group.Although the Dutch team did not raise a butcher's knife to kill a big score like the Netherlands in the past when facing a team of Iceland's level, the Netherlands has a very stable 8 games and 8 wins, scoring 17 goals and only conceding 2 goals. Proud record and head held high.A philosophy Van Marwijk instilled in the Netherlands is: make sure to win first, be beautiful if you can, and if you can't be beautiful, make sure to win first.

This philosophy of the Dutch team was brought into the World Cup race.In the three group matches of the Dutch team, they did not play as enthusiastically as before. Instead, while emphasizing the balance of offense and defense, they were careful not to give their opponents a chance.The Dutch team defeated Denmark 2-0 in the first game, and Japan 1-0 in the second game. In the final game, under the premise of no need to win, they made a half-strike attack and still defeated Cameroon 2-1.Victory in all three games!

Pragmatic Holland, Li Yu can only sum it up in this way. It is not as gorgeous as before, but its results are better than in the past. The pragmatic Dutch football is quite scary. It is also in the lower half. Li Yu also has a purpose in watching this game. It is very possible to advance After the knockout round, the following opponents may be the Dutch team. Now in Group G, Brazil and China Hong Kong are the most qualified to win the top spot, but Brazil will beat Portugal in the final round, so the qualification of China Hong Kong's top spot is on the outside world It appears to be the largest.

The first place qualified, the Huaxia Hong Kong team defeated the No.2 of the other kid, and they will face the Dutch team, which is an 8-to-4 match.

The players in the Netherlands are all very good, and quite average, with no weak links. If you have to look for them, the defense line is a little weaker, but the gap is not too big. In the knockout rounds of the World Cup, there are no underdogs at all. Every game is tough.

It is necessary to point out one point: Historically, before 2010, the Dutch team reached the World Cup finals a total of 8 times.Among them, 1934 and 1938 were eliminated in the first round.Since 1974, the Dutch team has never had a record of winning all 6 games in the group stage in 3 World Cup matches!

In 1974, the Netherlands with Cruyff was considered the strongest team in the world, but that team's group stage was only 2 wins and 1 tie; 1978 win, 1 draw and 1 loss; the Netherlands was absent twice in 1 and 1982; in the 1986 World Cup in Italy, the Dutch team had a sluggish record in the group stage, and all 1990 games were all tied. It was just luck that they were embarrassingly qualified as the third place with better results, 3 The final was eliminated by the Germans; in the 3 World Cup, the Dutch team had 18 wins and 1994 loss in the group stage, and it was a bit embarrassing to lose to Belgium; in the 2 World Cup, the Dutch team had 1 win and 1998 draws in the group stage. In the 1 World Cup, the Netherlands was absent; in the 2 World Cup, the Netherlands team won 5 wins and 0 draw in the group stage. Although they defeated Serbia, Montenegro and Côte d'Ivoire, they drew with Argentina and ranked second in the group. Eliminated by Portugal.

It can be seen that winning all 3 games in the group stage is an achievement that the Dutch team has never achieved before in the history of the World Cup.Even in the era of Cruyff, the era of the Three Musketeers, and the era of Guus Hiddink, the Dutch team did not do this.What's more, today's Dutch team has a record of winning both the qualifiers and the group stage.It is no exaggeration to say that in terms of World Cup record, this is the most powerful Dutch team in 76 years!

Which team can win all the qualifiers and group matches?It is as strong as Spain, and has lost in the group stage; as strong as Brazil, it is not a complete victory in the qualifiers!In fact, the group situation of the Dutch team is not very good. At least, compared with Italy, France and other teams, the Dutch team's group opponents Denmark, Cameroon, Japan and other teams are even stronger in terms of hard power Some.However, in the face of the more pragmatic and more controlled football in the Netherlands, these opponents did not make big waves, and the Netherlands' qualifying can almost be described as "without blood."This also made the Dutch team not consume too much energy, so after entering the knockout round, the Netherlands is worth looking forward to.

Before the start of the World Cup, the world often ignored the Netherlands when predicting the World Cup champion.isn't it?As of April, in European football polls, 4 people voted for the champion, and the Netherlands only got 22% of the votes, which is not as good as Italy's 3.72.But now, if we do another survey, what will the support rate of the Dutch team be?Robben said it well: "We don't care if others say we are beautiful. We came to South Africa to fight for the championship!"

In another match that started at the same time, Li Yu didn't watch it. Japan defeated Denmark 3:1 and won the right to qualify as the second place in the group.

In this campaign, Arsenal's tower Ben Turner continued to lead the trident, Romedal and Thomasson instigated on the two wings, Kahlenberg replaced the veteran Glenn Shire in the start, and Kroldrup replaced the suspended Kyle Together with Agger in defense, Sorensen guards the gate.The lineup of the Japanese team remained unchanged from the previous game, with Keisuke Honda leading the team, captain Makoto Hasebe sitting in the midfield, and Eiji Kawashima guarding the gate.

In the second game, Denmark defeated Cameroon 2-1 and won the World Cup for the first time, rekindling hopes of qualifying.Japan has a small load of 0-1, with 1 win and 1 loss in two games and 3 points. Due to the advantage of goal difference, Japan can join hands with the Netherlands to qualify from this group as long as they draw with Denmark in the final round.The two teams have only fought once in history. In a friendly match in 1, the Danish team narrowly beat Japan 1971-3.

It was supposed to be a close match, but who would have thought that there would be a big score.

In the 17th minute, Keisuke Honda scored from a free kick 30 yards away.In the 30th minute, Endo Yasuhito made another victory with a free kick from 26 yards.In the 81st minute, Thomason pulled back a point.In the 87th minute, Shinji Okazaki sealed the victory.

The second Asian team to advance to the World Cup was born!

Japan defeated Denmark and advanced to the round of 16, which also made Japan the second Asian team to enter the round of 16 in this World Cup after South Korea.Coincidentally, the last time two Asian teams advanced to the top 16 together was done by South Korea and Japan. In 2002, South Korea advanced to the top four and Japan advanced to the top 16.The strong promotion of the two Asian teams to the top 16 is also a powerful counterattack against FIFA's desire to reduce the quota for the AFC World Cup.

But they all qualify as No.2 in the group, which seems to be a little convincing. Now there is still a hope in Asia, and that is the Huaxia Hong Kong team. They have the hope of winning the first place in the group, which is recognized as the group of death. Group G No one would be optimistic about the possibility of putting South Korea or Japan in Group G for the first place in the group, but the Huaxia Hong Kong team did this, drawing with Brazil for the first time and beating Portugal for the second time.

South Korea and Japan are now celebrating nationally, so what will be the celebration waiting for the Huaxia Hong Kong team to qualify as No.1?

Asian celebration?

But that is really the celebration of Asia, the first place in the group, what a strange word, who in the Asian team can do this?

The media is still describing the greatness of Japan and South Korea. One day later, these words are completely paving the way for the Huaxia Hong Kong team.

Chinese all over the world are paying attention to the final round of Group G that will be held next.

The two games will be played at the same time, and whether the group will be the first will be announced at the same time.

Li Yu carried Jenny to the bedroom, washed himself, and went to bed early. Tomorrow's game will be very important. Li Yu is forcing himself to sleep. Whether he can sleep or not, he will also lie down and have a rest. By the way Complete the last treatment.

The special treatment plan for the optical brain was completed just the day before the last round of the competition, which was very good, and finally there was no need to wear that mask to the competition.

Closing his eyes, Li Yu started the last treatment...

The game will be played in the local afternoon in South Africa. The Huaxia Hong Kong team did not have any training in the morning. All the teams in the World Cup in South Africa are complaining about one thing. The distance between the competition venues is too far, and many teams are complaining that there is no time to rest , A lot of time is spent running back and forth.

This is very similar to the two games a week in Europe, and there are two back-to-back away games. Of course, you will be tired after rushing back and forth, and some teams still like this every game, and of course they will complain about the chaos on the field.

The Huaxia Hong Kong team played three games and came to three stadiums in South Africa. It was also one of the teams that traveled back and forth.

However, today they are in good condition and in a good mood. Li Yu took off his mask and greeted every team warmly at breakfast.

A Li Yu who has completed his recovery makes all the Huaxia Hong Kong players feel confident!

Eriksson is also the same, the miracle of God, the Swedes have completely believed that it is a miracle, the old man naturally knows what Li Yu's injury looks like, but it has only been a few days since Li Yu recovered, it is not God What is the miracle.

With such a feeling, Eriksson also believes that the team he leads will go on forever. The Swedish old man believes that the Huaxia Hong Kong team can not only win the first place in the group, but also go further. In the football field of the World Cup, a miracle can also be created.

Ghana has entered the round of 16. Will Côte d'Ivoire become the second African team in the round of 16?The British "Daily Mirror" calculated that there is only theoretical hope for Côte d'Ivoire to advance, "the probability will not exceed 1%". To win the Huaxia Hong Kong team with a huge score.

After the two games, the China Hong Kong team has scored 4 points and has a goal difference in hand, while the Ivorian has 1 point and a goal difference of -1.In order to advance, in addition to Côte d'Ivoire's victory over China Hong Kong and Brazil's victory over Portugal, so that the points are the same, they also need to equalize the goal difference of up to 2 goals with China Hong Kong.As early as after the game lost to Brazil, the head coach of Côte d'Ivoire had expected that "goal difference may become the key to qualifying for the group", but who would have thought that Portugal would lose to China Hong Kong in the next game, "The only thing left to the African elephant is a big victory over China and Hong Kong."

"There is still one more game, we will do our best and hope that the game can achieve our goal." Defender Demel insisted that "African Elephant" still has hope of advancing, "The game is not over yet." The promotion has not lost confidence, at least part of the hope of promotion is still in their own hands.

What makes Côte d'Ivoire even more troublesome is that only 1 goal was scored in the first two games, which shows that there is a problem with the attack power of the "African Elephant".Despite scoring a goal against Brazil, top striker Didier Drogba's arm injury has had a considerable impact on his performances, while his strike partners Kalou, Gervinho and Tyndane are clearly all out. Didn't help much.Defender Kolo Toure said: "In the first two games we didn't seize the opportunity and even made too many mistakes on the offensive line. In the game against the Hong Kong team, we can't make mistakes again. Every chance to score."

Maybe the African Elephant thought well, but there was one thing they forgot, is the Huaxia Hong Kong team, which tied Brazil and defeated Portugal, so easy to beat?

The media didn't even say it, and now the weakest team in Group G is none other than Côte d'Ivoire.

The life of another team, Portugal, is not much better. If the Brazilians want to advance, it seems that they must get at least 1 point to be safe. Will Brazil let it go?

It is obviously unlikely. The Portuguese want to win, but the Brazilians want at least a draw. The final round of Group G is already a deadlock. No one can relax. Everyone has the hope of advancing. Death The group is also the most chaotic group.

The match between Brazil and Portugal has not yet started, and the war of words between the two sides has already started. Ronaldo said that he would "beat Brazil to death", and the captain of the Brazilian team Lucio also showed a fearless attitude: "C Ronaldo is not terrible Forwards, I don’t even think there is anything scary at all. We are a team that has experienced many battles. We are not afraid of our opponents, and we are not worried about Portugal’s captain Ronaldo. 16 months of scoring drought for the national team, so we don't worry about how powerful he is, from this time on, we will keep a clean sheet. Brazil will still play this game in a 'samba style' .”

Lucio said that the Brazilian team will not send special personnel to mark Ronaldo. "As we all know, Ronaldo is a great star. There have been many brilliant moments in his career. He has an extraordinary talent as a shooter and a keen sense of smell in front of the goal. Scored a lot of goals. But I don't believe there is a need to send special attention to him. Portugal is fighting as a team, not alone. Football games are not won by you staring at the opponent's striker. It is important It’s about the whole team working together to win the game.”

"Focus on me" is the theme that Lucio has repeatedly emphasized. He said: "No matter who I face, I don't want to change the way I play. No matter whether the opponent is Ronaldo or any great star, I will still do well. Everything I do, being able to play against a strong team is always motivated because it will be a great game and I think Brazil should stay true to their style so that they can beat those Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal team is even more powerful."

Why is the smell of gunpowder so strong before the match between the two teams?

Needless to say, the strength of Brazil, the five-time champion, is not much to say, as is Portugal, the "European Brazil". The same language makes the two countries look like brothers facing each other across the ocean, but the history of bloody and tearful colonialism makes them love and hate intertwined. In the 1966 England World Cup group match, Eusebio's Portugal defeated Pele's Brazil 3-1. 2008 Portugal, which swept Ronaldo, is a new hatred.The two heroes of Brazil and Portugal are sharpening their swords and guns, and a battle of revenge is about to start!

Counting from the 1994 World Cup, the Brazilian team entered the finals three times and won the championship twice, entering its second heyday after the Pele era.Portuguese football has also entered a golden period in this century. The "golden generation" led Portugal to the finals of major competitions in a row, and won the runner-up of the 2004 European Cup and the 2006 World Cup runner-up.The Brazil-Portugal battle has attracted much attention. Who will win the first and third original Samba in the world and Brazil in Europe will be exciting.

Eusebio, the protagonist who brewed a feud 44 years ago, stood up and heated up the battle. "I can't say that Portugal is stronger than Brazil. Brazil has won five world championships and has excellent players. But who is better?" , This is also very difficult. Brazil and Portugal are difficult to compare, and unexpected things may happen.” The Durban Stadium can accommodate 7 spectators. The tickets for the Brazil-Portugal World War I were sold out 4 months ago. Has risen to 1200 euros.The Brazil-Portugal battle will be broadcast in 3D in some cinemas of the two countries. Before the match, the generals of both sides were cautious in their words and avoided predicting the result. The media of the two countries also believed that no one had a clear advantage.
