So that they don't have to struggle anymore.
In the 83rd minute, the Chinese team led Peru 2:0.
Although including injury time, there may still be fifteen minutes left in this game.
But it is almost impossible for Peru to score two goals in a row in these fifteen minutes.
Let's not talk about whether their attacking lineup has this strength. Even if they press hard and the whole team mobilizes, they can really score two goals... How can their empty defense guard against random mistakes?
Take the ball just now, from Hu Lai's diagonal run to catching the ball, turning around and shooting, Hu Lai did it with ease, as if it was no difficulty to score the goal.
In the last game, Iceland relied on setting up buses to restrict Hulai for most of the game.
Peru cannot set up a bus in this game, so how can it limit Hu Lai's scoring?
He has scored twice in this game and currently ranks first among the top scorers in this World Cup with three goals.
If Peru still goes out in force, Hu Lai might be able to score a hat-trick on them and become the first player to wear a hat-trick in this World Cup.
It's not that Peru doesn't want to fight. If they lose this game, they will become the first team to be eliminated early in this World Cup.
But facing Hu Lai, who scored with such a high efficiency, Peru also felt frustrated - we attacked desperately, but in the end we conceded the goal. So how can we fight?
This is why Chinese fans cheered so loudly after Hu Lai scored twice.
They know that Hu Lai's ball hit the last nail in Peru's coffin!
The cheers that erupted from the Phoenix Stadium made people suspect that the stadium had concealed its capacity when it was expanded and renovated - this was not the sound that 45,000 people could make!
The commentators from all over the world had to shout at the top of their lungs.
What He Feng and Yan Kang did not say directly, those foreign commentators did not have such scruples:
"The Chinese team is about to qualify early! They have won two games in a row and performed well, and Hu Lai is even more stable!"
"In the last World Cup, Spain failed to qualify from the group stage. In the last World Cup, Canada, one of the hosts, also failed to qualify. So there were rumors on the Internet about the 'host curse'... The Chinese team proved it with their performance
There is no such thing as a ‘magic spell’!”
"Peru performed very tenaciously and bravely, but they were still unable to save the defeat against the Chinese team... No, not against the Chinese team, but against Hu! Facing Hu, the Peruvian team was powerless!"
"The Chinese team has won! There is no suspense! It is impossible for Peru to make an effective counterattack! Let us congratulate the Chinese team for becoming the second team to successfully advance to the top 16 of this World Cup! Let us also say goodbye to Peru. They performed very well
Tenacious, but unfortunately, they were assigned to this group with the host..."
"Although the time has not yet come, the game is actually over! With the Chinese team leading by two goals at this time, it is impossible for Peru to come back! We can say that the Chinese team has qualified from the group one round in advance! The Chinese team only participated
Three World Cups, but they have reached the top 16 in the last two. This is a very remarkable achievement! Looking at the entire Asian football world, there is a team that can reach the top 16 for two consecutive years. Before them, a team has also reached the top 16.
No!"
Spanish commentator Sanchez is very familiar with the Chinese team. Not only is he familiar with it, but he also cares about it.
Because this concerns Spain's opponents in the knockout rounds.
If Spain can get first place in the group, they can be placed in the top half and then meet the Chinese team in the quarter-finals - Sanchez, with his understanding of the Chinese team, has already tacitly acknowledged that this team can definitely play
Reach the quarter-finals.
After all, the second place in Group B, neither Poland nor South Korea, is likely to threaten the Chinese team.
As a Spanish commentator, he certainly hopes that Spain can meet the Chinese team in the quarter-finals. After all, the two teams have an account to settle four years ago.
And if they want to meet, in addition to Spain's efforts to get first in the group, the Chinese team also has to be first in the group.
So Sanchez said: "I hope the Chinese team can beat Portugal, or at least not lose to Portugal."
As long as we don't lose to Portugal and draw, we can be first in the group.
However, this is somewhat related to the "private grudges" between Spain and Portugal.
The same idea as the Spanish commentator Sanchez is the English commentator Matthew Cox.
He is also an acquaintance of Hu Lai and is very familiar with the Chinese team.
He knows that the Chinese team is not weak, but he still hopes that the Chinese team can meet the England team in the quarter-finals. Because England and China also have a four-year settlement to settle.
This requires England to finish first in Group C.
It is not difficult for England to qualify from Group C, but what is difficult is competing with Spain for first place in Group C.
The final round of the group stage will be a direct dialogue between the two teams, and the fun is yet to come...
In fact, not only the commentators are calculating the matchup situation after qualifying, but many Chinese fans are not focused on the game at this time.
Many people posted enthusiastic comments on the Internet, discussing the Chinese team's road map after entering the knockout rounds.
Some people hope to play Poland, but more people support playing the South Korean team.
Because these two opponents were not very strong, everyone simply discussed the quarter-final matchup directly.
This is not as one-sided as the previous discussion about who to play in the quarter-finals.
Because there are more factors involved.
In addition to the first place in Group C, it also involves the second place in Group D.
Originally everyone thought Argentina must be first in the group.
But after Argentina lost 1:2 to Saudi Arabia in the first round, many Chinese fans felt that Argentina might be second in the group.
Taking Argentina into consideration, the situation becomes even more complicated.
Neither England nor Spain nor Argentina are easy to deal with.
Now it seems that it won't be a big problem for the Chinese team to reach the quarterfinals and equal the results of the last World Cup.
The quarter-finals are a hurdle.
If you cross this hurdle, you will see a brand new field - the World Cup semi-finals!
The Chinese fans who are having heated discussions on the Internet can't wait to skip all the links and come to the quarter-finals...
※※※
Time passed quickly in everyone's enthusiastic discussion.
Peru, which was already two goals behind, could do nothing against the powerful host country.
No matter how unwilling you are, you can only accept this result.
So in the last few minutes, the game has actually entered "garbage time".
There were eight minutes of stoppage time in this game. When the game reached the 98th minute, no matter what the situation was on the field, the referee decisively blew the whistle for the end of the game.
"Three whistles! The game is over!
The Chinese team qualified for the group stage one round ahead of schedule!"
He Feng and Yan Kang could finally cheer openly and openly.
"We have reached the top 16 in two consecutive World Cups! We are the first in Asia to do it! This national team is fulfilling their promise four years ago - they will try to do better than then!"
※※※
When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the wild cheers of the Chinese fans at the scene were transmitted to the garden of a hotel through satellite signals.
This hotel is where the Portuguese team's "camp" is located.
They were gathering on the hotel's garden lawn to watch another game of the same group through a huge projection screen.
Now the game is over and the results are out.
The Chinese team defeated Peru 2:0 and secured a qualifying spot one round in advance.
Unlike those excited Chinese fans, the Portuguese internationals were not unanimous about this result.
"I really don't know whether this result is a good thing or a bad thing for us..." someone murmured.
Before this game, some Portuguese internationals imagined that Peru could draw or simply defeat the Chinese team.
Because in this way, Peru still has hope of qualifying in the final round of the group stage, and will be able to compete with Iceland.
The so-called "snipe and clam compete for the fisherman's profit" means that both Iceland and Peru will lose, while Portugal will benefit from it.
But now with this result, Peru, which has lost two consecutive games, has been eliminated. With the last game left, what if Peru, which has no desires and desires, loses to Iceland?
If Iceland beats Peru, it will be a win, a draw and a loss, totaling four points.
Similarly, if Portugal loses to the Chinese team, it will be tied with Iceland on four points, and it is really possible that it will not qualify...
And don’t expect that the Chinese team, which qualified early, will let loose when facing Portugal in the final round of the group stage.
Because they have no reason to let go - although the Chinese team has qualified early, they still have to compete for the first place in the group. If they lose to Portugal, the first place in the group will be gone.
This way they are likely to go to the bottom half where Argentina is...
Eh?
No, Argentina may not be able to finish first in the group!
"Let's be open, guys. What if Argentina takes second place in the group and the Chinese team doesn't take first place in the group in order to avoid Argentina?"
Someone said this, it seems that they have found a bug that can be fixed.
Ballea was about to open his mouth to refute this statement, but a young voice took the lead: "It is impossible for the Chinese team to avoid Argentina. I even think they are eager to meet Argentina!"
Everyone turned their attention to the person who said this, it was Luisinho, the youngest player on the team.
When everyone saw what he said, they all laughed and did not choose to argue with him.
Because everyone knows that Luisinho regards Hu Lai as his idol.
This young genius who came out of Madeira Island has made Hu Lai's iconic celebration more than once after scoring a goal in the game.
Hu Lai and Meili are in direct competition. As a fan of Hu Lai, he is of course on Hu Lai's side.
Everyone thought that whatever he said was just out of fans' desire to protect their idols.
As the captain, Ricardo Barria also expressed his attitude at this time: "Don't place your hopes on our opponents. If we want to qualify from the group, we still have to rely on ourselves."
What he said is equivalent to a given - don't think about what other teams are doing, just go all out to play the last game.
Even if they beat the Chinese team, it won't be because they let off steam, but because Portugal's performance was indeed better!
