Chapter 369 Top 8

When a 1-magnitude earthquake hit Haiti in January this year, Bossejor, who was playing football in Mexico, cried bitterly.He wept for his people, for his father, who he believed must have been among the 7.2 killed.

Although he had a quiet and indifferent relationship with his father for 26 years, his family affection was unavoidable at the time of life and death. The relationship between him and his father came from his mother. In 1984, his mother was kicked out of the house by his father with a big belly, and she ran to Santiago, Chile to take Bossejo Er was born, and his mother lives in Chile to this day.Bosse Hall flew back to the capital, Port-au-Prince, and never expected to see his father who was safe and sound, and the disaster brought the father and son back together.

One month later, Bossehauer cried again, because Chile, his final chosen nationality, had another earthquake, which was stronger, but the number of victims was reduced, only 1.At that time, he was on the phone with his Chilean national team teammates in Mexico, saying that he would present a commemorative World Cup to the Chinese people to mourn the victims of the earthquake. Chile's singing all the way in the South American qualifiers should be related to this feeling.When going to the World Cup, Chile brought a special flag to South Africa. It was a stained, damaged and incomplete flag dug out of the ruins. They used this flag to represent the pain in their hearts and the passion of the World Cup.

Bossehauer is the lucky one of the double disaster. Fortunately, he is a ranger and has no fixed place. He has played for 4 clubs in Chile and 4 clubs abroad, including Genk in Belgium. He joined Mexico America last year, which can be regarded as escaped. Disaster in his hometown, Barry in Serie A is very interested in him, because Barry focuses on wing attack, the left-footed player's diligence and tactical flexibility are what Bielsa relies on.

Bielsa admitted frankly that he began to pay attention to Bossejor when he coached the Argentine youth team and asked him to withdraw from the striker to the midfield. Bossejor scored the only goal in the first game of Honduras, his first goal in the national team, and rounded up the Chilean. He himself was very surprised by the dream of winning the World Cup in 44. "Shooting is not my strong point. I only play as a guest striker in critical moments. It seems that this is God's arrangement. It is a gift for me and the Chileans."

In this game, Bossehauer had a wonderful pass, made two corner kicks, made a breakthrough and a long shot, and ran all over the court, but it was not impressive.His characteristics are the condensation of the whole Chile: he can run, he can lead, and he can't shoot; he has ideas but no strength;This is standard Bielsa football, and it is still far from winning in the big competition.

"Crazy" Bielsa is back, with his equally crazy Chilean team.It's just that the Chilean team will struggle to move forward in the top 16 of this World Cup.In today's quarter-final match against Huaxia Hong Kong, the Chilean team is about to face the fate of being eliminated.The Chilean coach Bielsa, known as the "crazy man", also staged his last madness in the game today. He was warned three times by the fourth official and almost asked him out of the coaching bench.

Throughout the game, Bielsa's repeated actions were yelling into the field with two assistant coaches on the edge of the coach's bench.Until the third goal of the China Hong Kong team, Bielsa, who roared at the defense from the sidelines, was finally warned by the fourth official for the first time.

Just 10 minutes after conceding the goal, a Chilean team member received a yellow card for a defensive foul in the middle circle. Bielsa almost rushed into the field and stood on the sidelines to argue loudly with the referee. The assistant coach not only did not stop him, but also told him Arguing with the referee together, finally the fourth official couldn't stand it anymore, invited all three of them back to the coach's bench, and issued a second warning.

When the game entered the last 10 minutes, "Madman" finally stopped his performance, and simply squatted beside the coach's bench to watch the general situation go away.After the game, people will miss Bielsa's crazy performance.

On the other hand, on the coaching bench of the Huaxia Hong Kong team, Eriksson has always maintained a calm demeanor, without any aggressive actions, and the feeling of being confident has always made people feel at ease. Maybe the players on the field will feel the same.

The head coaches of the two teams have completely different personalities, but the deduced game is so exciting. Who said that Chile has no chance, but unfortunately they wasted many opportunities and gave the hope of qualifying to the Huaxia Hong Kong team.

Eriksson is very fortunate to have a player like Li Yu under his account. The Swedish old man has highly praised Li Yu's wonderful performance in the post-match press conference more than once. .

yes!Li Yu was still so amazing in the game, leading the scorer list with an absolute advantage. Now people are not concerned about whether Li Yu can win the final Golden Boot, but more want to know what ranking Li Yu can lead the Huaxia Hong Kong team to reach in the end.

The biggest dark horse in this World Cup is the Huaxia Hong Kong team. How far the dark horse can go will always be one of the hottest topics in the World Cup.

In one more night, all the top 8 teams will be produced. On the last night, the most notable matchup between the favorites to win the championship is the match between Brazil and Spain.

One team has to leave the World Cup and who will it be?

However, before people watch the game between the two teams, they still have to watch a relatively dull game.

Paraguay vs. Japan.

Japan defeated Denmark 3-1 in the final game of the group stage to advance. Takeshi Okada's team showed high tactical quality. Paraguay broke out from the group where the defending champion Italy was located, and took the first place in the group. Identity qualifying.They met in the past 6 times, Japan got 1 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, being the lower hand.

In this campaign, Martino discharged the trident composed of Benitez, Santa Cruz and Barrios, Riveros was in the midfield, Alcaraz and Da Silva joined forces in the defense, and Bilal guarded the goal.The lineup of the Japanese team has not changed in any way compared with the last game. Keisuke Honda advances alone, Makoto Hasebe sits in the midfield, and King Tanaka and Yuji Nakazawa join hands in defense.

Paraguay and Japan fought 120-0 in 0 minutes. In the penalty shootout, Yumi Komano missed a penalty. Paraguay beat Japan 5-3, and the former advanced to the top 8 in history.

The first thrilling penalty shootout of the World Cup in South Africa ended with Cardoso's easy hit, and Paraguay was able to break through the top 16 threshold for the first time in history and broke into the top eight of the World Cup. Not only that, Paraguay also maintained the record that no South American team has ever lost to an Asian team Innocent and undefeated in five games to tie the team's longest undefeated record in the finals!

In the 1998 World Cup in France, Paraguay drew Bulgaria and Spain 0-0 one after another. They defeated Nigeria 3-1 in the final battle and advanced smoothly. They fought hard with the host for 120 minutes in the quarter-finals. Blanc's goal in the 113th minute made Paraguay again In the World Cup in Japan and South Korea 4 years later, Paraguay drew with South Africa 2-2, lost to Spain 1-3, defeated Slovenia 3-1 to advance to the round of 88, and almost dragged Germany into overtime in the quarter-finals. But it was killed by Neuville in the 2006th minute; in the 0 World Cup in Germany, Paraguay lost to England and Sweden 1-2 successively. Although they defeated Trinidad and Tobago 0-16 in the final battle, they still missed the qualification.Paraguay has entered the round of 1986 three times, and they all encountered the championship and runner-up of that session (Argentina won the championship in 1988 and France in 2002, and Germany finally won the runner-up in [-]), so it is reasonable to lose.

Except for the 0-3 loss to the United States in the first World Cup in the "Ancient Era", Paraguay has played 6 times against non-European and South American teams in the World Cup since then, with 3 wins and 3 draws and remains unbeaten (beating Iraq, Nigeria, Trinidad and Tobago , drew with Mexico, South Africa, New Zealand), and Asian teams have never defeated a South American team. If you don’t enter the quarter-finals, you will fail.” Argentine coach Martino denied that it was an “honor” to be shortlisted for the quarter-finals. A reporter asked, “What is glory”?Martino replied with a smile, "Maybe I can answer you in 13 days." After 13 days, it will be the World Cup final.

Paraguayan soldiers have such confidence, the reason is nothing more than the weak strength of the "Eastern Samurai". During the Paraguayan abc website group stage polls, 59% of the fans hoped to play against Japan, and the Netherlands (10%) and Denmark (31%) were clearly in the eyes of Paraguayan fans. Much harder to deal with.Although Paraguay's striker line has not yet been broken, but physical condition and strong defense are the advantages of Paraguay. The FIFA website regards Canisa, Bennett, Da Silva and Villar as the experience of Paraguay's defense, and Compared with legendary defenders such as Ayala and Gamara, Villar also admitted frankly, "This is based on traditional facts: in the past, Paraguay's stadiums did not have good conditions. You couldn't play too much ground coordination. The way to do it is to use the ball more in the air. It makes us stronger and helps our defense."

"Eastern Samurai" is also good at defensive counterattacks, and free kicks in front of the penalty area are very powerful. Martino therefore asked the team to try to avoid fouls in front of the penalty area. It was not until the 36th minute that Paraguay gave the Japanese the first opportunity to set the ball. Not good, but still so anxious that Martino jumped on the sidelines.The defense only needs to contain counterattacks and minimize fouls in front of the penalty area, but offense is Martino's headache.Winning Valdez and Cardoso, and using Benitez and Santa Cruz as the wings of the midfield is nothing more than curbing the advantage of the 5-man midfield of the "Eastern Samurai".However, there were gains and losses in this move. Although the two wings frequently advanced into the penalty area and Barrios also retreated from the center position, the effective offense and continuous cooperation formed in the frontcourt were still pitiful. In the first 45 minutes, Paraguay scored 65%. The ball possession rate but only 3 shots, but the Japanese counterattack got 5 shots.

When the halftime whistle sounded, Martino and Takeshi Okada hurried back to the waiting room, obviously dissatisfied with the team.The Argentine coach took the lead in adjusting tactics, emphasizing the forward penetration and direct pass of the midfielder in the second half, asking Benitez on the left wing to strengthen the cross pass from the side, and Santa Cruz on the right wing to approach Barrios to compete for landing points. This move really paid off , There was a turmoil in the restricted area of ​​"Eastern Samurai".At this time, Martino destroyed the Great Wall and replaced Benitez and Ortigoza who instigated the attack with Valdes and Barreto. It is true that Benitez handled the ball a few times a little rough, but Valdes Do not feel at ease to do "support work" on the side, the offensive balance is broken, and the reshuffle of midfielders leads to defensive chaos, but the Japanese gradually control the situation, and a draw is inevitable.

Martino sent five forwards in turn, but still failed to score the most important "first goal" in his opinion. The two teams recorded a draw in 120 minutes, and the technical statistics were not biased. Paraguay shot 2 times in 13 hours (Japan team 12 times) 7 shots on target, 26 fouls less than Japan's 29 times, 6 corner kicks more than Japan once, and the two duck eggs are just the record of the game.The draw allowed Paraguay to tie the team's longest unbeaten record in the finals (1958 games) created by the joint efforts of the 1986 and 5 World Cups.

The two teams are both the best defensive teams in the World Cup. The draw is expected. Japan and Paraguay decided the winner with a penalty shootout. There were no losers this night!Paraguay entered the quarter-finals for the first time in history. Morel regarded this move as breaking through the Iron Curtain of Brazil and Argentina. "When people think of South American football, they can only think of Brazil and Argentina. We must use our strength to prove that everyone is on the same level." Card Serres believes that the top 16 is just the beginning, "the current results are just qualified", whether it can record excellent results, the winner of Paraguay's quarterfinals against Spain and Brazil will be a big test!

No matter who it is, waiting for Paraguay is a tough battle.

西班牙在小组赛中2胜1负获得h组第一晋级,而巴西则取得1胜2平的战绩排名g组第二出线。历史上双方共有32次交锋记录。

Today, Spain has a 442 formation, with Villa and Torres partnering up front, midfielder Harvey organizing, Busquets and Alonso partnering in the midfielder, and Iniesta on the wing.On the back line, Pique and Puyol are partnered as central defenders, Capdevila and Ramos are on the left and right, and Casillas is the goalkeeper.In Brazil, Dunga also made his debut as the main force.

After picking sides, the game started, and Spain kicked off first.Spain got a good chance in just 59 seconds, but Torres' shot on the left was bravely saved by Cesar. After 1 minute, Villa's long-range shot was also very threatening, but was saved again by Cesar.In the 6th minute, Torres tried to pass the ball on the right, and then fell in the penalty area, but the referee refused to award a penalty. After 1 minute, Harvey divided the ball to the left, Villa took the ball horizontally and then shot, the ball was saved by Cesar.

People would never have imagined that Cesar's performance a few minutes before the opening turned out to be a microcosm of the entire Brazilian team. The Brazilian team was in a sluggish state in this game, and only goalkeeper Cesar's performance was brave.

In the 63rd minute of the game, Iniesta sent a through pass, and Harvey immediately made a heel pass in the middle. Villa's shot was saved by Eduardo, and then he made another shot. The ball hit the lower edge of the crossbar and bounced into the goal. , Spain led Brazil 1-0. This is Villa's fourth goal in this cup and his 4nd goal for the Spanish national team.But the goal was controversial. Xavi returned Iniesta's pass from an offside position, and Villa was also in an offside position when Xavi's heel knocked the ball to Villa.

Fans who watched the whole game also felt sorry for the sluggish performance of the Brazilian team.

1:0, a controversial goal also decided the final team in the end.

The Brazilian left very sadly, but he didn't complain. Looking at the whole game, it seems that the final score will not be too surprising.

The Spaniard performed better and the promotion seemed to be a matter of course.

It's just that the game is far from what people imagined. What happened to the Brazilian team?

It is also a technical team, but people are horrified to find that Spain's technical control of the ball has made the Brazilians lose their temper and fighting spirit. It reflects that Brazil does not have the key control of the game on the field. Lost clearly.

At the final press conference, Brazil head coach Dunga also seemed to admit that the Brazilian team should be the loser today. He did not mention the controversial goal at the press conference. Facing reporters' questioning, he did not answer.

Even Brazil admits that their skills are not as good as others. The Spanish team has become a well-deserved favorite to win the championship overnight. The next schedule is also very favorable. Next, the Spaniard will face Paraguay. Spanish.

At least the semifinals.

It is worth mentioning that at the beginning of this World Cup, Pele once said that he was very optimistic about Brazil: "Since the opening of the World Cup, I think Brazil and Spain should be the most optimistic, and I believe that Brazil has an advantage over Spain, because In the World Cup, Brazil is more traditional. I think in the final it will be Brazil and an African team."

The two strong teams were hacked by Pele's crow's mouth in the quarter-finals.

After the Brazil team is out, the next thing to worry about is Spain and Ghana, because in Pele's prediction, Spain and Brazil are the favorites to win the championship. In addition, he also believes that Brazil will meet an African team in the final. Only Ghana is left among the top players. Does this mean that they will not be able to cross Uruguay in the 14 finals?
