The world's No. 1 match day, which has attracted much attention, was somewhat uneventful.
There will be three games on the next day.
The first game was the South Korean team's match against Greece.
The final example greatly exceeded all expectations. With Lee Jung-soo and Park Ji-sung’s quick goals in the first and second half, the South Korean team defeated the Greek team 2-0 and took the lead in scoring 3 points in Group B of the World Cup in South Africa. It has an extremely favorable situation.
qualifying situation.
In just 7 minutes of the first half, the South Korean team used a set piece to score a goal. Although subjectively, the whole process can be attributed to Charisteas' defensive mistakes, ignoring the defense of Lee Jung-soo at the back point; however,
From an objective analysis, this goal reflects a lot of inevitable content, from the growth of the entire Korean football players to the current
The Korean team's understanding and implementation of the tactical system is at the leading position in Asia. Park Ji-sung's goal in the second half came very quickly, and it was also scored near the 7th minute. The method of scoring was a sharper quick counterattack. Two goals.
The goal is enough to prove that the Korean team does not rely on luck and chance to play football, but there must be some internal factors worth pondering.[
There is a folk saying in South Korea, "To marry a wife, marry Dae Jang Geum, and to marry a man, marry Park Ji-sung," which fully reflects Park Ji-sung's reputation in South Korea. So is Park Ji-sung favored in South Korea because of his good looks or playing for the top European clubs?
No. There is a past incident that illustrates this point.
Three years ago, I saw a Korean football magazine from a friend. It is said to be a famous magazine in South Korea. The cover showed a right foot covered with scars. That was Park Ji-sung's foot. That issue of the magazine once set a sales volume in South Korea.
records. Koreans admire football players for their professional achievements.
The fighting experience in the career, the feet covered with scars are the most beautiful. This kind of spiritual level affects all Korean players today, regardless of whether they are younger than Park Ji-sung, including Lee Jung-soo, Park Ju-young and others.
Inspired by this spirit, they strive for their football career.
In addition to the individual fighting spirit of the Korean players, which is still worthy of praise, their understanding and application of the tactical system are also worthy of our deep thought. The Korean team did a very good job in defense in today's game. Their defense is not like that of China.
The national football team defeated France 1-0 in the warm-up match
The Korean team's tactics of intensive defense and blocking holes were adopted, but the coordination of the two defense lines was fully utilized. The two defense lines of the South Korean team advanced and retreated in an orderly manner. Their reference bodies when advancing and retreating were Tsioris and Yekas, who pinched
The Greek team started the attack with the goal, and thus took the initiative on the court.
But don’t forget that in the warm-up match before the World Cup, the Greek team defeated China Hong Kong with a big score of 3:0. According to common sense, China Hong Kong can lead the South Korean team all the way in the Asian competition.
The team was helpless in front of the Greek team. How could there be such a huge contrast in the actual game?
Even the Greek team members who participated in the game said after the game that the game was far more difficult than they prepared.
The Greeks were careless. It was not the Koreans' plan, but the Chinese Hong Kong team's plan that succeeded.
While watching South Korea celebrate their victory, some media also began to pay attention to the actual combat strength of China Hong Kong. Take the South Korean team as an example. China Hong Kong once defeated South Korea by a large score. Comparing the two, the previous performance of the China Hong Kong team
Very abnormal.
However, the doubts from the media did not attract the attention of many people. Including the Brazilian team, all eyes are now focused on the upcoming game of the Argentine team.
In the first round of Group B of the World Cup in South Africa, Argentina defeated Nigeria 1-0 at the Ellis Park Stadium in Johannesburg and won the first match. In the 6th minute, Veron took a free kick and Heinze scored with a header
The only goal in the game.
Under the leadership of Maradona, Argentina's process of advancing to South Africa was extremely difficult and dangerous. Despite this, the blue and white army is still regarded as one of the favorites to win this cup. For Maradona, how to activate the world
The fighting ability of Footballer Messi will be the key to Argentina's good results. Historically, Argentina and Niger
Nigeria has had 3 head-to-head matches. Argentina has 2 wins and 1 draw and remains unbeaten. In the 1994 World Cup group stage, Argentina won 2-1; in the 1995 Confederations Cup group stage, Nigeria drew with Argentina 0-0.
; In the 2002 World Cup group stage, Argentina defeated Nigeria 1-0.
Today Argentina arranged a 343 formation, with Messi, Tevez, and Higuain as the three forwards. In the midfield, Veron became the core of the offense, Gutierrez and Di Maria were active on both sides, and Masche
Llano serves as the defensive midfielder. On the back line, Heinze, Demichelis and Samuel line up, and the goalkeeper is Romero.
The Argentine team had such a powerful attack, but only scored one goal.
So far, the performance of the traditional strong teams has been somewhat disappointing, and there has never been a big-scoring game.
Just like eight years ago, Argentina captured Nigeria again in the first game, with the same opponent and the same score. The difference was that this time Maradona had the world's best star that Bielsa did not have.
In the season that just ended, Messi played 63 games in all competitions, but Maradona was heartbroken. "He has been playing for a year and is very tired, but he has a positive attitude and is in the best physical and technical condition. I
Try to give him a chance to stay strong", but the Barcelona king
Pai himself is eager to fight and trains well. He does not have "deep-rooted injuries" as the physical coach Signorini said. Lao Ma also said: "He has never had any physical problems. Don't forget (during training)
)He also gave me a kick."
Argentina penetrated the penalty area for the first time in this campaign, when Messi made a strong left-wing attack. Despite being flanked by four people, he still did not hesitate to cut straight in. The final cross was also in place. Unfortunately, Higuain was interfered with and his shot from close range was missed.
In the 6th minute, the little flea was in the middle again
With a breakthrough, he cut into the penalty area and suddenly shot with his left toe from the top of the arc. He didn't pursue the angle, but the victory was because of his fast speed and sudden kick. If the goalkeeper Enyeama hadn't reacted so quickly, he would have scored, and this corner kick was also a direct one.
Brought Argentina's first goal.
After Heinze scored, Argentina's formation retreated, and Messi had fewer opportunities to get the ball. Veron and others tried their best to distribute the ball to the wings, but Argentina's No. 10 was on camera again and was only one step away from scoring in the 36th minute.
, Messi took a free kick from the right, and made a very creative one-two with Mascherano. He rushed to the right rib of the penalty area and aimed at the far corner to create an arc. However, it was Enyeama's magic again.
He made a flying save and pushed the ball out of the bottom line.
The lifeblood of Argentina is not so much in the hands of Marshal Ma as it is in the hands of Messi. His every move and every gesture is of great significance to the whole team. Therefore, even if the little flea performed mediocre in the qualifiers, Diego remained steadfast.
Print the number 10 as a totem, "Argentina is a Rolls-Royce, with Messi sitting in the driver's seat." No matter how much excessive praise is used, if Messi can be truly activated, the Argentine media and the Argentinian media will no longer praise him in a disgusting and exaggerated way.
The fans won't mind either.
Judging from the situation on the spot, Messi is indeed sick, full of physical energy, running all over the field, actively participating in every attack, left, center, right, Argentina's No. 10 is everywhere. In the 59th minute, Messi started from the midline and broke through the horizontal direction at high speed.
Across the opponent's half, a powerful shot from the left side of the penalty area was blocked by two defenders. Five minutes later, the five-man frontcourt team counterattacked. Tevez hit Higuain from the left and missed, and the little flea crossed in the penalty area.
He walked around to open up a gap and shot into the far corner with his left foot but was saved by the goalkeeper.[
In the 81st minute, Messi missed another good opportunity. He cut in from the left wing and passed his right foot to Di Maria on his side. Then he suddenly stepped forward. The Benfica winger knew what to do and kicked back. The little flea had thrown away all the defenders and formed a formation.
It was a single shot, but unfortunately the angle was still not ideal after adjustment. He tried to hit the goalkeeper's crotch ball but Enyeyama fell to the ground and blocked it with his legs. The whole audience was in awe. One minute before stoppage time, Messi and Milito fought again on the right side.
The ball hit the wall in exactly the same way, but this time the ball bounced too high and was knocked out by the opponent first.
Even so, Messi's performance was enough to satisfy Maradona: ff official website data shows that the little flea shot 12 times and 4 were on target, passed the ball 84 times 65 times, and passed the ball 7 times.
Successful 6 times, the running distance reached 8351 meters. After the game, the old horse put his arms around Messi's neck and hugged him, and even kissed his lover's right cheek. "Messi is plugged in, excellent football, excited
moment, very close to scoring, he is still the best one in the Argentine team”,
The 343 formation that Maradona deployed to activate Messi is actually the same as the 3412 formation that Bilardo customized for himself in 1986. Today, the outstanding performance of the new Argentine king made everyone see that the second football king has ascended the throne.
The hope is that the 2006 trip to Germany was just Messi's World Cup experience trip, just like the old horse in 1982. Then four years later, Messi can turn Ellis Park into the Azteca 24 years ago.
?
Why do the Chinese media pay so much attention to Messi's performance? Because they hope that Messi's performance will reflect Li Yu's performance. Since Messi can perform like this, Li Yu should not be too bad. In terms of status,
This season Li Yu is only better than Messi, and definitely not worse than Messi. The only problem in common is that both of them play a lot of games in a season.
The last game of the second match day is also the one that people are paying more attention to, England vs. the United States.
But during the game, England's performance seemed to confirm a curse of this World Cup: all the strong teams were unsatisfactory.
In the first round of the 2010 World Cup, England drew 1-1 with the United States. In the 4th minute, Heskey made the ball, and new captain Gerrard broke into the penalty area and scored with his right foot. In the 40th minute, Dempsey shot from outside.
, Green saved the ball and rolled the ball into the door.
In a series of warm-up matches before the World Cup, the England team led by Capello performed very well and maintained complete victories in the last 4 games. The two teams have played 10 times in history, and the England team has played 8 times.
An advantage of winning and losing 2. The most classic confrontation between the two teams should be in the 1950 World Cup. At that time, the little-known United States defeated the arrogant England team, the originator of modern football, 1-0. Therefore, there was also a "England"
10 to 1 victory over the United States" joke.
In this campaign, Capello lined up a forward combination of Rooney and Heskey, with Lampard and Gerrard in the midfield, Lennon and Milner on the left and right, Ledley King and Terry in defense, and Green guarding the defense.
Gate. For the United States, Donovan and Altidore teamed up as a striker, and Howard guarded the gate.
England's goalkeeper once again had a humiliating moment in the World Cup.
Gerrard's goal in the first 4 minutes gave the English hope of victory, but then the scene that the fans least wanted to see happened. Goalkeeper Green's low-level mistake helped the opponent equalize the score. Maybe people will question it.
Why did Capello start Green? ESPN said: "Capello should be responsible for Green's gaffe." But the Italians also had no choice. Each of England's three goalkeepers has loopholes, and they may all become part of the team at some point.
timed to explode.
The details of Green's mistake need to be elaborated. After the game, the media also criticized him. "Sky Sports" condemned: "Green gave the US team a big gift." The "Football 365" website said: "Green's fingertips are missing.
England's victory." Reuters said: "Green's super gift allowed the United States to gain a point." South Africa's largest sports TV station "SuperSport" also found it difficult to understand this mistake: "Green ruined England's victory."
In fact, before this game, England's legendary goalkeeper Banks expressed concerns about the goalkeeper position. He even believed that the three goalkeepers in his team were not as good as American goalkeeper Howard: "I really appreciate Howard, I think he is better than the goalkeeper."
England's three goalkeepers are all better." And the fact is just as Banks said. Howard made a total of 7 effective saves in this game, and Rooney and Lampard made several threatening shots.
He successfully resolved all of them, while Green only made 3 saves in the game, especially when he missed Dempsey's non-threatening shot directly into the net, which became the most comical scene in the game.
After Green made a low-level mistake, the TV camera turned to Joe Hart on the bench. The latter performed very well in Birmingham last season. He was also selected as the best player of the season by the English Professional Footballers Association.
In terms of stability, Joe Hart is completely better than Green and veteran James. However, Capello is worried that he has too little experience in international competitions and may make low-level mistakes in such competitions.
Although James, who has played 50 times for the national team, is experienced, his 39-year-old age is too old. After careful consideration, Capello finally chose the more compromise Green, but the latter gave the Italian a head-on blow.
In fact, England's goalkeeper crisis is an old problem. In the 2002 World Cup, Seaman missed Ronaldinho's free kick directly into the net. In the qualifiers of the 2008 European Championship, Carlson caught the ball and let England lose 08.
In the main game of the 2016 European Championship, James' performance was often called "David-Disaster-James". Robinson also once had an embarrassing scene where he directly kicked the ball in the air and caused an own goal. Although the one who made a fool of himself today is
Green, but the other two goalkeepers may not be able to keep the goal clean.
After the game, the American "Star Telegraph" said enthusiastically that if the goalkeeper for England today were Banks, Ray Clemens or Pete Hilton, they would definitely not let the United States team suffer such a surprise.
Goal. It's a pity that the hero is old, and now England can no longer find a world-class goalkeeper like he did back then.
Another interesting news was also disclosed by the media.
A few hours before the game, the two leaders had a special phone call to place bets on their respective teams' first games in South Africa. A White House spokesman said Obama was confident the team would win because the United States had won in 1950.
Having defeated the powerful England with a score of 1-0 in the World Cup, he believes that the team still has a chance to perform the same scene as 60 years ago this time.
Although football is not the most popular sport in the United States, events of the World Cup level still attract a lot of attention. When he was invited to the opening ceremony in South Africa, Obama originally planned to attend, but the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico made him
He had to give up this opportunity to Vice President Biden. In this regard, Obama also joked that he felt very sorry.
Unable to rush to the scene like Biden, Obama could only call David Cameron, who was also unable to go to the scene to watch the game. The other party readily agreed to his request for a bet. The Associated Press said that the bet Obama placed was the best beer.
, but the White House did not clearly state what brand it was.
Originally, Gerrard's goal in 4 minutes almost cost Obama a beer. Fortunately, Green's buttery hand helped the American team regain a victory, and the bet between the British and American leaders finally ended in a draw.
The second match day was also uneventful. Only the South Korean team's performance was eye-catching, while other teams had few bright spots.[
On the third day, the style of the previous two days will still be continued, and it will be dull to the end.
Ghana defeated 10-man Serbia 1-0 and won its first victory in this World Cup on behalf of an African team. In the 74th minute, Lukovic accumulated two yellow cards and was sent off with a red card. In the 83rd minute, Kuzmanovic was in the penalty area.
Handball, Asamoah-Gyan's penalty kick was the winner. It is worth mentioning that this is the first penalty kick in this World Cup.
One goal or one penalty, the World Cup games so far have been a little too dull.
The next game continued the 1:0 style. Slovenia defeated Algeria 1-0 at Paulo Guani's Mokaba Stadium and achieved the team's first victory in the history of the World Cup finals.
The North African powerhouse Algeria can once again reach the World Cup finals in South Africa after 24 years, which makes fans across the country rejoice. Due to the good grouping situation, the domestic media in Algeria are very much looking forward to the team being able to qualify from the group.
Even Zizou went to the stands to cheer for his hometown team, but Algeria still lost the game.
It’s a mediocre game. I hope that the German team that will appear soon will not continue its previous style and bring a bit of vitality to the World Cup!
