The second round of the World Cup group stage is in full swing, but the injury of Li Yu, which has attracted the attention of Chinese people all over the world, has not been announced for a long time. How is it? Will he miss the next group stage?
There is no answer to everything. In the past two days, Erikson has remained silent in front of the media and refused to talk about any news about Li Yu. It is rare to be able to do this in an age where information is so developed, but Li Yu
Yu has not appeared on the training ground, which at least indicates a problem. He must be injured. What is the specific extent of the injury? That is unknown!
I have no choice but to continue watching other World Cup games.
It's the turn of the Japanese team, another Asian powerhouse. Previously, the Japan Football Association vowed to make its own ambition to enter the semi-finals. Today's game is the best template to test whether they have the strength to enter the semi-finals. The Japanese team today
The opponent is the European giants Netherlands!
In the first round of Group E, the Netherlands still performed well in the absence of Robben, defeating Denmark 2-0. Japan was also in great form, defeating the African Lion Cameroon 1-0. The two teams are currently ranked first in this group.
In the top two places, the Netherlands is temporarily ranked third due to its goal difference advantage.
1. The two sides meet in a narrow road, and whoever can win will basically lock in the right to qualify for the group. In this case, the two teams are bound to fight for victory. In history, the Netherlands and Japan have only had one confrontation record, in a friendly match in 2009
In China, the Netherlands defeated Japan 3-0.
The Netherlands still arranged a 451 formation today, with no changes compared to the previous game. The front line was led by Robin van Persie, Kuyt, Van der Vaart and Sneijder, who were ambushing behind them, with De Jong and Van Bommel partnering as a double midfielder.
On the back line, Van Bronckhorst and Van der Wiel are on the left and right, Matheson and Heitinga partner as central defenders, and the goalkeeper is Stekelenberg. In Japan, Keisuke Honda, who delivered the winning goal in the last game, is still in the center.
field.
In the final score, the Netherlands defeated Japan 1-0 at the Durban Stadium. They won the first two rounds of the group stage without conceding a goal. As Denmark defeated Cameroon 2-1 in another game in the same group, the Netherlands became the third player in this cup.
A team that advanced to the top 16. In the 53rd minute of the game, Sneijder scored the only goal of the game with a long shot.
In the history of the World Cup, the Netherlands has never won the championship, but this team has become the favorite of countless fans because of its aggressive attack and sexy football. However, in the 2010 World Cup, what people saw was a powerful team.
, a team that won but was not so sexy. The Dutch "Telegraph" said: "This is not like Dutch football! This kind of football once made cows fall asleep..." So, why did Dutch sexy football suddenly disappear?
Woolen cloth?
There are many reasons why the Netherlands is no longer sexy, but one thing is definitely the most important, and that is the coach. In fact, under the leadership of Benhak, Advocaat, Hiddink and others, the Dutch team is indeed extremely sexy, and winning will win.
Hearty and hearty (such as the 5-0 defeat of South Korea and Bergkamp's stunning victory over Argentina,
They are all rare classic battles in the history of the World Cup), and defeats are spectacular (for example, the 2-3 loss to Brazil made many fans truly appreciate the beauty of football). However, since Van Basten took over the Netherlands
After joining the team, the Netherlands began to change its style, emphasizing pragmatic football and a balance of offense and defense.
In the qualifiers before the 2006 World Cup, the Netherlands defeated the underdog Belarus 3-0. After the game, Basten said: "I would rather win 3 1-0." This is Basten's philosophy. In the 2006 World Cup
On, Basten does play pragmatic football, the Dutch team focuses on defense
On top of defense, he no longer attacked wildly, so he only conceded 2 goals in all 4 games (1-0 victory over Serbia and Montenegro, 2-1 victory over Côte d'Ivoire, 0-0 draw with Argentina, and 0-1 loss against Portugal), and only scored 3 goals. However,
Being conservative did not help the Netherlands win the championship. It stopped in the top 16 and disappointed the Dutch.
At the 2008 European Cup, Basten's coaching style began to change, and the Dutch team began to emphasize offense again. In the 3 group stage games, the Dutch team played three sexy football storms, beating Italy 3-0 and defeating Italy 4-1.
France defeated Romania again 2-0, and the whole world was cheering, "Who can stop the Netherlands from committing violence?" However, precisely because the Netherlands consumed so much energy in this attack, the Dutch team was defeated by Russia in overtime in the first round of the knockout round.
He was defeated in the competition and missed the chance to win the championship.
This is what the Dutch team has experienced in the past four years. In 2006, Basten played conservatively and failed; in 2008, Basten played sexy and failed again. Dutch football is constantly reflecting on what should be done
Conservative or sexy? In this struggle, Van Marwijk, who shouted "offensive football" but was actually more conservative than Basten, became the coach of the Dutch team.
Who is Van Marwijk? This coach has always regarded himself as an "offensive footballer", but the whole world thinks that he is a conservative to the core. Two examples: From 2000 to 2004, he coached Feyenoord.
The team has also become the team with the fewest goals among the strong teams in the Eredivisie league, which has a lot of goals.
At most, after a season, Feyenoord scored 20 fewer goals than Ajax, PSV and other teams. In the 04-05 season, Van Marwijk dismissed get out of class, and Feyenoord
The number of goals jumped from 71 in the 2003-04 season to 90 in the 2004-05 season!
Van Marwes then went to Dortmund. In the Bundesliga, he continued his conservative football. After two seasons, Dortmund scored an average of 46 goals per season. And before he came? Dortmund scored 46 goals in the previous season.
The number of balls is 57! The comparison of these data is enough to see how conservative Van Marwijk is.
In today's Dutch team, Van Marwijk's number one striker is Kuyt. Even if Robben comes back, Kuyt's position cannot be shaken because Kuyt is willing to defend. In the midfield, Van Marwijk is
Ke never changes the configuration of double midfielders. When necessary, he will even send three midfielders to defend.201
In the 0 World Cup qualifiers, the Dutch team also followed the 1-0 doctrine when facing teams like Macedonia and Iceland. In the game against Norway, after the Dutch team took the lead, they once played with a 5-back defense! All this proves that in order to win, Fan
Marvik will never hesitate to abandon the inherent offensive tradition of the Netherlands, and he will never be afraid of getting an ugly reputation!
Sneijder said this: "We won beautifully against Italy and France in the European Cup two years ago, but what was the result? People expected us to play beautiful football. However, I never remember that there was
Which world champion or European champion won the championship after playing all 7 beautiful games?"
It can be seen that the Dutch team has set the tone. If there is only one choice between "championship" and "beautiful football", the Netherlands wants the championship. If in order to win the championship, they need to choose ugliness, then they don't care. With this kind of thinking
Mode, the Dutch game is not beautiful enough, what is it surprising?
In the subsequent game, the team was not well-known enough, and naturally there were few fans paying attention. Even the final game proved this.
Ghana and Australia ended up playing 1:1. It was a completely lackluster game. Except for two goals, there was no highlight at all. Perhaps it was because of the overly conservative attitudes of the two teams, but it was related to the qualifying places in the World Cup group.
, and how many teams don’t do this?
One person's tragedy also dominated the entire game, 1-1. With one player missing most of the time, the Australian team tenaciously held on to a precious draw. While retaining the possibility of the team qualifying for the group, it also maintained
Life warrior Kewell continues to hope to compete in the World Cup. If Australia can defeat Serbia in the subsequent group stage and the German team defeats Ghana, Australia will hope to qualify for the group, and Kewell may get a chance to play in the knockout rounds.
.
In this World Cup, Kewell suffered from the strange disease of "autoimmune hepatitis" and finally got on the last train to South Africa after many hardships. Risking his life to participate in the World Cup, for Kewell,
As long as you can appear on stage, even for one minute, it is already a great success.
In the first round of the group stage, considering Kewell's physical condition, Australia coach Welbeck did not send Kewell to play. However, Australia was sent off one man and was eventually beaten 0-4 by the German team. Witnessed from the sidelines.
Kewell, who had suffered this defeat, obviously could not accept such a result. Before the game against Ghana, he volunteered to play regardless of his own illness.
"He is a special guy, he is a hero. You know, Kewell may die for Australia." Australian team doctor Canaraga said of Kewell. Kewell's persistence made Australian coach Welbeck
Moved, he said before the game against Ghana: "I didn't bring him on vacation. Kewell is very special to us, and now it's time for him to play."
After the game started, Kewell indeed appeared in Australia's starting lineup, taking on the role of team organizer in place of Cahill who received a red card and was suspended. Australia took the lead in the 11th minute. If the score was like this
By holding on until the end of the game, Australia has a good chance of advancing to the knockout rounds.
Heroes have suffered many hardships since ancient times. In the 25th minute of the game, Kewell accidentally committed a handball foul during a defense. He was sentenced to death by the referee, received a red card, and was sent off. Australia's lead also followed the opponent's penalty kick.
They disappeared completely. Instead, they seemed passive in the competition due to their numerical disadvantage.
Kewell, who was sent off, looked very lonely on the sidelines. This was likely to be his last World Cup game. Members of the Australian coaching staff pressed Kewell's shoulders to express comfort. However, this was obviously difficult for this player.
The iron-blooded hero's mood has improved.
Obviously, the tragedy and heroism of Kewell playing while sick but being sent off infected the Australian players. In the next 60 minutes of the game, although the Australian players did not have an advantage in numbers, they relied on hard running and tenacity.
The team's defense kept the 1-1 score until the end of the game, retaining a glimmer of hope for Australia to advance to the knockout rounds.
Considering that the German team and Serbia in the same group each scored 3 points, and the Ghana team scored 4 points after this game, Australia has only 1 point. If it can beat Serbia in the next game, the German team will beat Ghana by a big score.
, Australia has a good chance of advancing to the top 16.
If this situation really happens, then even if Kewell faces suspension in the next game due to a red card, there is still hope of representing Australia in the elimination. I believe that the members of the Australian team will fight for Kewell in the next game.
Fight to the death.
Liverpool's legendary coach Shankly once said: "Football has nothing to do with life and death, but football is higher than life and death." But when faced with life and death, how many people would choose football? If he did not give up football, Kewell, who was terminally ill, might just
He has two years left to live. At the critical moment when Australia is facing elimination, the Australian fighter takes the initiative to volunteer. God can take away his health, but it can never take away his beloved football dream!
Eight full years have passed since he was diagnosed with a terminal illness in 2002. If what the unfortunate doctor said is true - he really only has 5-10 years to live without systematic treatment, then the 2010 World Cup may be his swan song.
. He came to South Africa with an almost tragic belief, but everything that happened on the field could only make people sad - people decide what to do, and what to do depends on God...
The last game of the night was less tragic and more passionate about fighting for a qualifying spot.
In the first round of Group E, both Denmark and Cameroon had a bad start. Denmark lost 0-2 to the favorite Netherlands, while Cameroon unexpectedly lost 0-1 to Japan. Currently, the two teams are tied with 0 points. Denmark is due to
The disadvantaged group with a goal difference is temporarily at the bottom. For both teams, there is no room for failure in this game. Whoever loses may be declared early.
reported that they were eliminated from the group. In this case, the two teams may bring about a wonderful offensive battle. The two sides have met twice in history, but they were both friendly matches. Before the 1998 World Cup, Cameroon defeated Cameroon 2-1.
Four years later, in the warm-up match of the World Cup between South Korea and Japan, Denmark succeeded in revenge with a score of 2-1. In terms of the past record, both sides were evenly matched.
Denmark has a 442 formation for this game, with Bendtner and Thomasson forming a forward partnership. In the midfield, Jorgensen and Romedal will become the core of offense and defense, while the defense will be led by Agger. For Cameroon, Eto'o
It is still the guarantee of the striker, and in the midfield, Arsenal star Alexander Song made his debut.
In the end, Denmark defeated Cameroon 2-1 at the Loftus Stadium in Pretoria. The latter became the first team to definitely miss the top 16 of this cup, and the Netherlands also became the first team to advance.
In the 10th minute, Eto'o opened the scoring for Cameroon; in the 33rd minute, Bendtner equalized the score; in the 61st minute, Romedal scored to seal the victory.
An old man is aspiring to a thousand miles; a martyr is still ambitious in his old age. Cao Cao's famous saying has been used by later generations to praise those veterans who can continue to exert their remaining energy for the collective. In this wonderful game where the Vikings reversed and defeated the African Lions, twice
Thomassen, who wasted an excellent goal scoring opportunity, experienced the bitterness of "Lian Po is old", and the former Milan star regretfully missed the opportunity to become the top scorer in the history of the Danish national team.
Thomasson, who wears the captain's armband, has a high reputation in the Danish national team, and head coach Olsen also chose to trust this veteran in the life-and-death battle with Cameroon. Before this game, Thomasson represented the Danish national team in the
In 109 official games, he has contributed 51 goals, which is only 1 goal away from the goal record of Denmark's top scorer Nielsen. In this context, the juniors of the Danish team are willing to be the captain's wedding dress.
to help him achieve this great goal.
In the 19th minute of the game, Thomasson was focused by the TV camera for the first time. Jacobson got the ball on the right and decisively crossed the ball into the penalty area. Thomasson, who was outflanking in the middle, was pressed by Cameroon defender Nkulu.
Under the pressure of the defense, he did not make a tackle in time. Jacobson's pass was very comfortable. If Thomasson had been in his prime, he would have easily completed this rare forward tackle.
There was an obvious loophole in the Cameroon team's defense on the left, and there was a lot of space behind Tottenham full-back Ekotto. In the 41st minute of the game, the Danish team launched a quick counterattack, and Romedal penetrated the Cameroon penalty area like a sharp blade.
After a clever dunk past the opponent's defender, Romedal selflessly passed the ball back to the unmarked Thomason. Thomason actually hit the ball to the opponent's defender Basson when he was almost facing an empty goal.
body, and then his follow-up shot went over the crossbar.
Coincidentally, in the 70th minute of the game, Thomason once again had an excellent opportunity to tie Nelson's scoring record. This time, he was assisted by the selfless Romedal, who successfully countered offside.
The ball was knocked to Tomasson from close range. This time the former Milan striker once again failed to live up to the good intentions of his teammates. Cameroon goalkeeper Suleimano easily resolved the shot from a wrong angle.
Thomason's self-confidence was greatly affected by not wearing the wedding clothes made by his teammates for two consecutive times. In the 81st minute of the game, Thomason received a pass from his teammate in front of the penalty area and did not break into the penalty area to shoot in time.
The opponent's defender regained his footing and passed the ball back to Bendtner. Even though the opportunity was not good, the Arsenal forward's shot also seemed weak. Olsen on the sidelines finally couldn't bear it anymore, and the TV camera clearly captured the Danish master's shot.
Footage of the coach yelling at Thomason after the play.
According to the technical statistics after the game of Tencent Data Analysis Master, Thomason completed a total of 3 shots in this game. Although they all hit the goal frame, two wasted excellent opportunities were failed for a penalty area killer.
His performance. Thomason, who is getting older, is also at a disadvantage in terms of physical confrontation and header competition. He failed in 6 confrontations and only succeeded in getting a header once.
After defeating Cameroon, the Vikings sent the African Lions home and also laid a solid foundation for qualifying from the group. However, only a win in the next game with the Japanese team can ensure entry into the knockout rounds. Considering Thomason's poor performance in this game
Performance, Olsen will most likely put the Danish captain on the bench in the next Tennozan battle with the Japanese team.
Thomasson's poor state in this game is a microcosm of his continued slump in the national team in recent years. The former Milan marksman's goal drought for the national team has lasted for more than 2 years. The last time Thomasson made a contribution for the Danish team, he still failed to score goals.
It dates back to February 6, 2008. In that match between Denmark and Slovenia, Thomassen scored a penalty kick. Since then, he has never scored a goal with the national team.
If the Danish team makes any mistakes in the final group match with Japan, Thomassen, who is about to turn 34, is likely to lose the opportunity to surpass Nelson and become the top scorer in Danish history. If that is the case, the former Milan
The star will definitely regret for the rest of his life that he missed two must-goal opportunities in this game.
