Chapter 345 Not Difficult to Compare

Almost a day has passed, and many people are concerned about Li Yu's injury, but no definite news has come out. How is Li Yu's injury?

This is not only a matter of concern to fans around the world, but also news that people who follow the World Cup want to know as soon as possible.

The China Hong Kong team has been blocking any injury news. Is it good or bad?

I don’t know, so I can only wait. The second round of the group stage is about to begin. Will Li Yu show up?

After the game in Spain, there will be the first game of the second round of the group stage, South Africa versus Uruguay.

South Africa was held to a 1-1 draw by Mexico in the opening game of the World Cup. Mufeira missed the opening goal by shooting at the center post at the end. Uruguay also drew 0-0 in the first game with the unmotivated French team. There are currently 4 teams in Group A.

Both teams have only 1 point and are on the same starting line. This game is very crucial for both sides. The two teams have fought 2 times in history. The South African team has 1 draw and 1 loss without a win and is at a disadvantage. The most recent confrontation was in

In a friendly match in 2007, South Africa drew with Uruguay 0-0.

In this campaign, Pereira still used Mufeira's single arrow. Modise and the hero of the first goal, Shabalala, were roaming on the wings. Pienaar continued to take on the responsibility of organizing the offense. Captain Mokena was in the rear defense, and Cune was guarding

Gate. For Uruguay, Forlan continues to partner with Suarez, Perez sits in the midfield, Lugano leads the defense, and Muslera guards the gate.

They all got a draw. I originally thought it would be an intense and intense game, but the final result was one-sided.

Ten-man South Africa lost to Uruguay 0-3. In the 24th minute, Forlan scored a goal from 35 meters away. In the 80th minute, goalkeeper Cune brought down Suarez in the penalty area and was sent off with a red card. Forlan calmly scored a penalty kick.

A second goal was scored. In the stoppage time of the game, Uruguay scored another goal.

The host South Africa's life is hanging by a thread, and they can only compete with France in the final group match.

With Forlan's brace and A-Pereira's goal, Uruguay easily defeated the host South Africa 3-0. This victory also gave them a good qualifying situation. This is Uruguay's first victory in the World Cup since the 1990 World Cup.

The first victory in the World Cup finals.

As a two-time World Cup champion, Uruguay can be considered a veteran team. In the first World Cup in 1930, Uruguay defeated Argentina 4-2 in the final at home and won the cup. The 1934 World Cup was hosted by Italy. In retaliation, most European countries refused to participate.

The first World Cup, so Uruguay also took the initiative to reject this World Cup, which cost them the opportunity to defend the championship. In 1950, the World Cup came to Brazil, and Uruguay and the host country reached the finals, and finally under the watch of 220,000 spectators

, Uruguay defeated its opponent 2-1 and stood on top of the world for the second time.

Since winning the championship in 1950, Uruguayan football has never won the World Cup again. The second place in 1954 and 1970 has been their best result so far. In the 1966 World Cup in England, Uruguay broke into the top 8, but with the 1986 World Cup

After reaching the top 16 consecutively in the 1990 World Cup, Uruguayan football fell into a dark period: they missed the finals in both the 1994 and 1998 World Cups, were eliminated in the 2002 group stage after losing three games in the group stage, and were eliminated in the play-offs for the 2006 World Cup.

Lost to Australia coached by Hiddink.

Uruguay's record in this World Cup qualifier was not very good, especially in the last round of competition with Argentina for the right to directly qualify. As a result, they lost 0-1 and only finished fifth in the South American zone. In the end, they competed with Costa Rica.

Only in the play-offs did they get a ticket to South Africa. After drawing 0-0 with France in the first round of the group stage, Uruguay finally won a 3-0 victory in the second round. Since the 1990 World Cup group stage, Uruguay had a 1-0 victory.

Since defeating South Korea 0, Uruguay finally won another victory in the World Cup finals.

For the current Uruguay team, they have two top strikers, Forlan and Suarez, on the front line. Especially the former has won the European Golden Boot and led Atletico Madrid to the Europa League last season. In addition, Uruguay's

The midfield and backfield are also full of talents, including Caceres, who is on loan from Barcelona to Juventus. Counting Forlan, Suarez and Caceres, the Uruguayan team has players who play in mainstream European leagues.

With 14 players, such a team cannot be underestimated regardless of the players' personal abilities or tactical qualities. It is no exaggeration to call them the strongest national team in the past 20 years.

Now Uruguay also faces a great opportunity to break the 1990 World Cup record. After defeating South Africa in this round, they have already scored 4 points in the first two games. Once they defeat Mexico in the last round, Uruguay is entirely likely to top the group.

In this way, they can avoid Argentina, which is most likely to win the top spot in Group B. Whether their opponents in the 18th finals are South Korea or Nigeria, Uruguay will have the confidence and strength to defeat them. In this way, they can at least catch up.

Tied the quarterfinal record of the 1966 World Cup.

After losing to Uruguay 0-3, the host South Africa only scored 1 point in the first two rounds. Now their qualifying situation is in jeopardy. It is only theoretically possible to reach the 18th final, especially their last opponent is France. This makes

South Africa's hope of scoring points is even more difficult. This may lead to the first host nation being eliminated from the group stage in the history of the World Cup.

Since the first World Cup in 1930, there has never been a host team in history that has not qualified for the group stage: in 1930, the host Uruguay won the championship; in 1934, the host Italy won the championship, and in 1938, France finished 8th. Since then, due to the suspension of the World War II, the World Cup has been suspended since 1950.

Since the resumption of the World Cup in 1950, Brazil, the host of the World Cup, won the runner-up, Switzerland in 1954, Sweden in 1958, Chile in 1962, England in 1966, and Mexico in 1970.

Finished sixth, Germany and Argentina won the championship in 1974 and 1978 respectively, Spain in 1982 finished 12th, Mexico in 1986 finished sixth, Italy in 1990 finished third, the United States in 1994 finished 14th, and in 1998

France won the championship in 2002, South Korea and Japan, which co-hosted the event in 2002, finished 4th and 9th respectively, and Germany in 2006 finished third.

But this time, South Africa wants to break the convention that the World Cup host must qualify for the group stage. They are likely to bid farewell to this cup with a dismal record of three games without a win. They deserve the title of "the weakest host in history". However, former President Nelson Mandela several times

The main purpose of trying to help South Africa win the right to host the World Cup is not to help the team achieve good results, but to improve the economic development of the country and even Africa, so that the world can better understand this mysterious African continent. In fact, for South Africa, hosting the World Cup itself

It means success.

First of all, since the successful bid to host the World Cup in 2004, the South African government has invested more than 2.7 billion US dollars in infrastructure construction. According to expert estimates, these infrastructures can contribute nearly 700 million US dollars to South Africa's GDP this year, and

Large-scale infrastructure construction has effectively boosted the growth of GDP. Before the international financial crisis, South Africa's economy continued to grow for nine years. The infrastructure construction carried out due to the World Cup was indispensable.

Secondly, it has effectively alleviated social employment pressure. It is understood that in the three years from 2007 to 2010 alone, World Cup-related projects provided approximately 130,000 jobs for the South African people, which effectively alleviated South Africa's socioeconomic problems.

To a certain extent, the occurrence of crimes such as robbery and theft has been reduced.

Furthermore, the World Cup has driven the development of South Africa's economy. According to the International Monetary Fund's forecast, the World Cup will bring a growth rate of 0.5% to South Africa's economy. In addition, a large number of fans from all over the world have poured into South Africa, which has also directly boosted local tourism.

, the development of accommodation, catering and transportation industries. It is reported that tourism alone can bring revenue of US$3.1 billion to South Africa.

In addition, this World Cup has also allowed the world to get to know South Africa and the African continent. During the entire World Cup, approximately 26 billion people will watch the game on TV, which has greatly enhanced the international image of South Africa and Africa. People all over the world are watching the game through this

This World Cup recognizes a new South Africa and a new Africa. And these are the real purposes of South Africa hosting the World Cup.

In any case, the second round was not as dull as the first round. At the beginning, all teams could be conservative, but when the second round was about the right to qualify, many teams were no longer conservative.

The two teams in Group B, Argentina and South Korea, who both won the first round, met in the second round of the group stage. Everyone wants to qualify early, and the game will no longer be dull.

Before the first round clash between the two sides, Argentina defeated the African Eagle Nigeria 1-0, while South Korea performed well and defeated the European team Greece 2-0. Since both sides won the first game, who can win this game?

Whoever wins will basically lock in a place to advance to the top 16. Historically

Argentina and South Korea have met 3 times. Argentina has 2 wins and 1 draw and remains unbeaten. In the 1984 friendly match, Argentina and South Korea drew 2-2. In the 1986 World Cup group stage, Argentina defeated South Korea 3-1. 2003

In a friendly match on June 11, 2016, Argentina defeated South Korea 1-0.

Today Argentina still arranges a 343 formation, with Messi, Higuain and Tevez forming a trident on the front. Mascherano and Maxi Rodriguez are in the center of the midfield, with Gutierrez and Di Maria moving on the wings.

On the back line, Heinze, Demichelis and Samuel lined up, and the goalkeeper was still Romero. It is worth noting that Argentina only had one goalkeeper in their first start and first game.

There is a change, that is, the injured Veron was replaced by Maxi Rodriguez. South Korea also arranged a 451 strongest formation to attack today. Park Joo-young stepped forward at the front, and the midfielder was led by Manchester United star Park Ji-sung. In addition, Ki Sung-yong and Lee Ching-yong

All overseas players have also joined the team. On the defensive line, Lee Jung-soo, who performed well in the last game, also started the game without any suspense, while Cha Du-ri was replaced by Oh Beom-seok.

Argentina, the favorite to win the championship, beat South Korea 4-1 at the Soccer City Stadium in Johannesburg. They won both group matches and basically secured their place in the group. In the 16th minute, Messi's cross hit Park Ju-young's leg and bounced into the goal; in the 33rd minute

, Higuain expanded the lead. In stoppage time, Li Qinglong took advantage of Demichelis' mistake to regain a point. In the 76th and 80th minutes, Messi and Aguero assisted respectively, and Higuain completed a hat trick.

One of the biggest highlights of the 2010 World Cup is: Under Maradona, can Messi play like Maradona? This question can also be asked another way: Can Messi transform from a simple football player to a football player?

Has No. 9 turned into a No. 10 who can unite the team and lead the team? After the two World Cups, people found that Messi now looks more and more like a real No. 10. This is not just because of the clothes he wears

No. 10, played as an attacking midfielder, especially because he became a leader.

In the history of the World Cup, No. 9 and No. 10 are the two most charming numbers. No. 9 is used to score goals and kill enemies. Countless great stars have written legends with this number. In the history of Argentina, Batistu

Ta is recognized as the greatest No. 9 in the past 20 years

.However, although Batty has performed extremely well (he is the only player to score hat tricks in two consecutive World Cups), Argentina's performance in the two World Cups in 1994 and 1998 was mediocre, once in the top 16 and once in the top 8.

.

It’s not that the number 9 is useless, but that a team needs the number 9, and even more so the number 10. Kempes and Maradona wearing the number 10 jersey led Argentina to win the championship, because they can not only score, but also become the ball.

The captain of the team. In fact, the above two people were not very productive in the World Cup.

Ladona only scored 8 goals in 21 World Cup games, and Kempes only scored 6 goals in 18 games. They are both far inferior to Batty's record of 10 goals in 12 games. However, they are leaders, and they can unite Argentina as one around them.

Overall. Therefore, they will be forever recorded in history as heroes.

In the past season, Messi was No. 9. In Barcelona, ​​he scored 34 league goals, 8 Champions League goals, and 3 goals in other competitions in one season. The scoring rate is astonishingly high.

But in the Argentina team, people’s requirements for Messi are not

It’s just about asking him to score goals, but asking him to be a leader. Argentina has Higuain, Tevez, Aguero, and Milito, and there are a lot of good scorers. But what Argentina lacks is a leader.

The descendant of Ladona. Only Messi is qualified to be this leader!

Maradona knew this, so in Argentina's 433, Messi played as a nominal forward, but actually as an attacking midfielder. "Gazzetta dello Sport" invited the legendary coach Sacchi to analyze. Sacchi pointed out that Argentina's

433 is actually 4312. Messi appears in the attacking midfielder position, mainly responsible for connecting the whole team and creating opportunities.

A No. 10 needs to have a spirit of sacrifice. Maradona's "Assist of the Century" is proof of this. Today's Messi also understands this. He no longer makes crazy attacks when facing 6 people, but knows how to attract everyone to himself.

After passing the ball, he passed the ball out and let his teammates make contributions. Who can deny that today, he faced 6 defenders to intercept and passed Aguero's pass, which was far more beautiful than any goal?

A No. 10 needs to be brave and determined, and needs to be tough and tolerant. Maradona was knocked down as a common occurrence in the World Cup. But the old horse never got angry, but got up and continued to play. Messi encountered lumberjack tactics today, and his opponent

Within half an hour, he was overthrown by two ferocious tackles. However, he did not flinch, but continued to fight bravely in front of many opponents. In the 44th minute, he passed three people and shot the ball with his left foot, although it missed the goal.

It came out, but its excitement is no less than any goal.

A No. 10 needs to be patient and put the team first. The scene of Maradona crying and singing in the locker room was touching. Today, Messi has not scored a goal in two World Cups, and he has not even dropped one assist. But every time

When his teammates score, he is always first

He rushed forward to celebrate. After the game, he was even more cheerful and laughing like the boy next door. He has long passed the era of collecting statistics, and he already knows one thing: when the team wins, you are the hero; even if you bomb

Score 100 goals and the team loses, everything is meaningless!

A No. 10 needs to avoid controversy and remember everyone who has contributed to the football of his motherland. When Messi was interviewed, he said something that touched fans all over the world. Messi said: "I hope to play for Sane."

TI wins the World Cup!”

This kind of Messi is Argentinian, and he is the Messi that fans around the world want to see. As Messi said in an interview with Tencent Sports, his dream is not to be the protagonist of a one-man show, and his expectations are not based on

Conquering the world by himself. All he hopes to receive is "He plays football very well, has a good character, is caring, and is an Argentinian."

Fans who see all this will consciously make a simple comparison between Messi and Li Yu. Who is better, Messi or Li Yu? Whether it is No. 9 or No. 10, in the hearts of fans around the world, after watching Li Yu

After Yu’s World Cup debut, everyone felt that Li Yucai was a current

The leader of the team, he was the most terrifying No. 9 player on the court. Then he was injured and got off the field, but he became the real No. 10, the spiritual core of the team. Without his final instructions, the China Hong Kong team might not have

Nor will it draw with the powerful Brazil and get 1 point in the end.

Li Yu, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Messi were the names that attracted the most attention before the World Cup. Looking back now, although it has not yet reached the end, Li Yu is undoubtedly the most outstanding player among the three.

Outstanding is outstanding, but his injury is still worrying.
