"...According to Italian media reports, Italian national team coach Caviglia is likely to remove Caesar from the starting lineup of @京书馆 in the second group match. This news has been confirmed by many parties and is credible.
The degree is very high. If it is true, then this will be a very sensational news, which means the end of an era..."
"... Our reporter tried to contact Caesar's agent to understand the situation. But as of press time, no response was received from his agent... In the past year, Caesar has been very silent on social media
.He himself did not respond to this matter...Only Italian head coach Caviglia refuted the rumors and said that the starting lineup of @ijingshuge has not been decided yet, and all news about @ijingshuge's starting lineup are speculation..."
"***, isn't Caesar @Jingshuge the first release?"
After the Chinese team players finished a day's training and returned to the hotel for dinner, they saw the news that Caesar might be adjusted out of Italy's starting lineup. This matter immediately became a "hot topic" for today's dinner.
topic".
"Ah? No, right? Why! Fifty-one consecutive starts for the national team at @Jingshuge. Don't you want it anymore?" Someone started to cry.
"Do you think Caesar doesn't want to be the first to @JingShuGe? It must be Cavigilia's intention..."
"If I were Caesar, I would definitely not do it. I would definitely have a good fight with Caviglia..."
"Don't they have a very good relationship? Caviglia was once a teammate of Caesar whether he was in the national team or the Turin Bulls..."
"Oh, I feel sorry for Caesar! A legend of Italian football is treated like this! He is abandoned like a pair of broken shoes!"
"Fuck, are you really complaining for Caesar? You clearly don't want Italy to reduce its burden!"
"Hahaha!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Caesar cannot start @Jingjingshuge. This is indeed not good news for the Chinese team.
After all, based on Caesar's performance after taking the field, Italy was equal to ten against eleven at the beginning, and its offensive threat was reduced by half. The Chinese team will have a much easier time playing against such an Italian team.
So when they heard that Caesar was going to be kicked out of the starting lineup, the Chinese players couldn't hide their disappointment.
Even Chen Xingyi, who had played against Kaiser in a game, exchanged jerseys after the game and even posted on social media to support Kaiser, had to admit that if Kaiser could continue to start @Jingshuge, it would indeed be of great significance to the Chinese team.
Good news.
Now...
"Isn't this good?" At the coaching staff's table, Dillon understood what his players were talking about through translator Yu Jintao, and said to the coaches. "At least we don't have to worry too much about what the team will do.
I underestimated the enemy when facing Italy..."
The coaches present all laughed.
Dillon said to them seriously: "No, I am not joking, gentlemen. I am very serious. We must be careful about the possible arrogance and underestimation of the enemy in the team. After we defeated Spain with three goals, the team
The atmosphere was upbeat and relaxed. If it was before the first game, I would be happy to see that emotion. But if it was after our first win..."
He shrugged, curled his lips, and did not continue.
But everyone understands what he means.
Qin Lin said: "I will warn them not to be too relaxed."
Dillon nodded.

There is no break between the second round and the first round of the World Cup group stage.
After the first round of the group stage, the next day was the second round of the group stage.
Portugal, which lost the first round of the group stage, is facing a last-ditch battle. They must win the second round of the group stage to have a chance to advance to the top 16. Otherwise, they may face the embarrassing situation of the host nation being unable to advance from the group.
Although it is said that in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Qatar has already regarded as the host country "the host country has no chance to win".
The jackpot of "qualifying for the group stage" has been won, and "the host country must qualify for the group stage" has become history.
Portugal does not want to compete for this "third prize" - the second host team that failed to qualify for the group is Canada, one of the hosts of the 2026 World Cup in the United States and Canada.
In this game, the Portuguese team quickly entered the state from the beginning of the game.
In the end they defeated Senegal 3:1.
Ricardo Barea scored a goal in the match.
He was very excited after scoring the goal and released all the pressure he had suffered after the failure in the first game.
As Portugal's most anticipated star, 26-year-old Ricardo Barea has entered the golden stage of his career. Naturally, he is regarded by Portuguese fans and media as someone who can carry the entire country in the World Cup.
Marching heroes.
As a result, Portugal lost the first game, and Barea also missed good opportunities and performed poorly in the game. After the game, he was scolded by the media and fans in his country.
But that’s how football is. If you don’t perform well in one game, you may fall into hell. But if you perform well in the next game, you will be immediately redeemed and go straight to heaven.
After winning this game, Portugal can successfully qualify as long as they defeat Colombia in the last round.
Norway was tied 2:2 by Colombia in the second round and failed to advance from the group.
This draw also allowed Colombia to retain the hope of advancing. They are currently tied with two points in two consecutive games. So they will definitely have to fight Portugal in the final round.
Regardless of the fact that Norway currently ranks first in the group with four points, it still has to fight against Senegal in the final round, otherwise it may be eliminated.
The situation in the entire group is complicated. No one dares to say that they will definitely qualify, and their opponents will definitely have no hope of qualifying.
In addition to Portugal's Ricardo Barea, another high-profile star is Brazil's top star Kabangca.
The Brazilian team started the second round in Group B, also following Portugal in Group A.
The situation in this group is relatively normal.
Mainly because the Brazilian team is too strong.
※※※
Dudu Carlos dribbled the ball forward in the midfield, and Kabangkara went to the wing to meet him.
This is Brazil's attack.
The commentators in the commentary box praised:
"Although they are already two goals ahead and there is not much time left before the end of the game, after the Brazilian team got the opportunity to attack, everyone is still very active in attacking forward! This is Samba football! Always pursue beautiful offensive football!"
"The Brazilian team's offense is coming again! They want to score a third goal! Kabangka is raising his hand to ask for the ball. Does he have a chance to score twice?"
"Facing such an opponent, the Japanese team may only feel desperate!"
While the Brazilian team is advancing as a whole, the Japanese team does not have many players who can participate in the return defense.
On the one hand, it is because the game has reached the final moment. Most of the Japanese team players have been running for more than 90 minutes and are exhausted.
On the other hand, it is because returning to defense has become meaningless. Losing two goals and losing three goals are both losses. Before this game, Croatia, which had a 0:0 draw with Japan in the first round, had just won 4:0.
The score beat Mali, the weakest team in the group. The goal difference between the two teams was widened to six goals. Even if they conceded another goal... what is the big difference between the goal difference of six goals and seven goals?
?
Of course, not all Japanese team players have this mentality, there are always some who are desperately trying to defend.
For example, Junpei Morikawa.
He was running all the way from the front court to chase back, running towards Dudu Carlos who was carrying the ball.
Originally, Tatsuya Sugiyama was also actively returning to defense, but halfway through, he saw Junpei Morikawa getting closer and closer to Dedu Carlos, and he immediately changed his mind.
Slow down and start observing the situation around you left and right.
Then he slowly moved towards the space he thought he had.
Dudu Carlos is still dribbling the ball, but his dribbling speed is not fast. Because he is not a fast player himself, and he also has to observe the situation in front.
As a result, his ability to perceive what was behind him was significantly weakened.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Junpei Morikawa quickly approached Dudu Carlos and tackled him with his feet!
He didn't simply shovel the football away. He suddenly accelerated and chased it from behind to the side. Then, after getting a little ahead, he decisively shoveled it across with his feet.
Played against Dudu Carlos and kept the football!
The Brazilian midfielder fell forward due to inertia and lost the ball!
Morikawa Junpei followed the inertia and got up from the ground, took the football under his feet a step forward, then looked up and saw Sugiyama Tatsuya in front of him, who was raising his arms to signal him, and made a diagonal pass!
"Morikawa! Beautiful tackle to save the ball! He blocked the Brazilian team's counterattack! Now it's the Japanese team's turn to counterattack!"
The Japanese commentator in the commentary box was particularly excited.
Even if the goal was scored, it would be difficult to change the result.
But that’s no reason to give up!
Sugiyama Tatsuya received a pass from Morikawa Junpei in the open space, turned around and led forward.
Facing the Brazilian defender Jose Amorim who stepped forward to steal the ball, Sugiyama Tatsuya relied on changes in the rhythm of his footsteps and shoulder shakes to deceive his old opponent in the Bundesliga, and then went straight to the penalty area.
!
But unfortunately, at the front of the penalty area, he faced Tavares Cao, another central defender of the Brazilian team, but failed to break through, and was instead blocked by Cao.
Originally, Tatsuya Sugiyama was not as good as Kao in terms of physical strength. In addition, after running for more than ninety minutes, his physical energy was exhausted, making it difficult to support the pillar in the physical confrontation.
After struggling to protect the football, Sugiyama Tatsuya could only take a shot, and then missed the goal post without any suspense...
"Sugiyama! Ah!!!"
The Japanese commentator held his head in his hands in the commentary box and shouted to the sky.
"This shot missed! What a pity! This may be our last chance to attack!"
The game time was displayed on the big screen at the scene, and the game was 97 minutes in total.
"This shot missed! What a pity! This may be our last chance to attack!" The game time was displayed on the big screen at the scene, which was the 97th minute of the game.
There is less than a minute left before the end of the game.
The ball is still with the Brazilian team and nothing can be changed.
I don’t know if I was frightened by Junpei Morikawa’s steal just now. When the Brazilian team kicked off again this time, they did not advance forward as unscrupulously as before, but began to kick in the backcourt. They were two goals ahead.
They only need to delay the final time to get all three points, so why take that risk?
One minute later, the referee blew the whistle to end the game!
"The game is over! Congratulations to the Brazilian team! They became the first team to qualify from the group in this World Cup! The Japanese team that lost this game has very slim hope of qualifying from the group, unless they can win in the final round.
Defeat Mali with an extremely exaggerated score, and hope that Brazil, which has already qualified early, can defeat Croatia by the same majority..."
Morikawa Junpei sat on his knees on the turf, with his hands on his hips, looking straight into the distance. His back looked like a samurai who wanted to have his belly disemboweled...
Sugiyama Tatsuya raised his head, unable to conceal his pain and frustration, and tears overflowed from his eyes.
In the last World Cup, he and Junpei Morikawa were just ordinary national team rotation players and did not sit firmly as the main force. At that time, the Japanese team broke out of the siege and was the only team in Asian football to reach the top 16. And four years later,
The two of them became the core of the Japanese team, but unexpectedly they were not as good as the previous one...
It's so difficult to qualify from the group stage!
Thinking about the neighboring country's 3-0 victory over Spain in the first round of the group stage and the excellent qualifying situation, Tatsuya Sugiyama couldn't help but want to cry.
