Li Yu has finally recovered from his injury. Of course, behind the miraculous recovery, Li Yu's points have dropped by 12,000. Today he is finally in the mood to watch the games of other teams.
Jenny was lying on Li Yu's chest lovingly. For women, competition is definitely not important, but the heart of a man that she can rely on is the most important thing.
Li Yu was watching the match between the Netherlands and Cameroon. Before the first half was over, he noticed Jenny's even breathing and the little girl actually fell asleep.
He lowered his head and kissed Jenny on the forehead. Thanks to Jenny's care these days, little Nizi seemed really exhausted.
If Li Yu of the China Hong Kong team had not been injured, he would not have had a separate hotel suite for the two of them to coexist. Now Li Yu's injury is recognized by the outside world as not too serious, and he can definitely play in the final round of the group stage.
The last game against Portugal completely proved this point. Li Yu's injury has almost healed. Some media even suspected that the mask Li Yu put on was completely to confuse the opponent, making the opponent think how serious his injury was and take it lightly.
.
They said everything, but the China Hong Kong team did not respond.
They haven't understood the whole thing yet, so what can I say? No one believes it!
The competition was quite exciting, but Li Yu kept her voice low for fear of waking up Jenny, and tried to control herself not to get too excited.
In the 36th minute, Robin van Persie gave the Netherlands the lead. In the 65th minute, Van der Vaart had a handball in the penalty area and Eto'o equalized with a penalty kick. In the 83rd minute, Robben hit the post and Huntelaar made a supplementary shot.
Cameroon was still eliminated.
The Netherlands won all three games and topped the group.
Recently, there has been a lot of controversy about the Netherlands no longer being "sexy". Perhaps, you can say that this Netherlands is not as beautiful as the classic Netherlands in history. But in Li Yu's eyes, this Netherlands is scarier than those in history!
From the World Cup qualifiers to the World Cup group stage, the Netherlands has achieved the current record of 11 wins in 11 games, scoring 22 goals and conceding only 3 goals! It is no exaggeration to say that the Dutch team has shown their green face and fangs. They are rushing.
Go for the championship.
In the World Cup qualifiers, the Dutch team's grouping situation was not particularly good. There were Norway, Scotland, Macedonia, and Iceland in the same group. Although the Dutch team did not raise their eyebrows like the Netherlands did in the past when facing a team of Iceland's level.
Although the score was huge, the Netherlands was very stable and won 8 out of 8 games, qualifying with a proud record of scoring 17 goals and conceding only 2 goals. A philosophy that Van Marwijk instilled in the Netherlands is: make sure to win first.
If you can be beautiful, be beautiful. If you can't be beautiful, you must first make sure you win.
This philosophy of the Dutch team was carried into the World Cup. In the three group matches of the Dutch team, they did not play as enthusiastically as before. Instead, they emphasized the balance of offense and defense while being careful not to give their opponents a chance. The Netherlands
The team defeated Denmark 2-0 in the first game and Japan in the second game 1-0. In the last game, even though there was no need to win, they attacked with half strength and still defeated Cameroon 2-1. Winning all three games!
Li Yu can only summarize the pragmatic Netherlands like this. It is not as gorgeous as before, but its results are better than before. The pragmatic Dutch football is quite scary. They are also in the lower half. Li Yu watched this game with a purpose. It is very possible to advance.
After the knockout rounds, the next opponent may be the Dutch team. Now in Group G, Brazil and China Hong Kong are the most qualified to win the first place. However, Brazil is going to beat Portugal in the last round, so China Hong Kong’s first place qualification will be in the outside world.
It seems to be the largest.
The first place qualified, the China Hong Kong team defeated the second place team of another kid, and will face the Dutch team, which is an 8-to-4 game.
The strength level of Dutch players is very good, and they are quite average. There are no weak links. If you have to look for it, the defense is a little weaker, but the gap is not too big. In the knockout rounds of the World Cup, there are no weak players at all.
Every field is a tough battle.
It is necessary to point out one point: Historically, the Dutch team reached the World Cup finals a total of 8 times before 2010. Among them, they were eliminated in the first round in 1934 and 1938. Since 1974, the Dutch team has qualified for the World Cup 6 times.
There has never been a record of winning all 3 games in the group stage!
In 1974, the Netherlands with Cruyff was considered the strongest team in the world, but the team only had 2 wins and 1 draw in the group stage; in 1978, the Netherlands won the runner-up, but only finished in the group stage.
1 win, 1 draw, 1 loss; 1
The Netherlands was absent twice in 1982 and 1986; in the 1990 World Cup in Italy, the Dutch team had a sluggish record in the group stage, drawing all 3 games. It was just lucky that it was embarrassed to qualify as the third place with better results. In the 18th final, it was scooped up by the Germans.
In the 1994 World Cup, the Dutch team had 2 wins and 1 loss in the group stage, and was a bit embarrassed to lose to Belgium; in the 1998 World Cup, the Netherlands team had 1 win and 2 draws in the group stage. Although they beat South Korea 5-0, they were defeated by Mexico and Belgium.
The Netherlands was forced to draw; in the 2002 World Cup, the Netherlands was absent; in the 2006 World Cup, the Netherlands won 2 and drew 1 in the group stage. Although they defeated Serbia and Montenegro and Cote d'Ivoire, they tied with Argentina and finished second in the group. They were eliminated by Portugal in the 18th final.
It can be seen that the Dutch team won all 3 games in the group stage, which is an achievement that has never been achieved before in the history of the World Cup. Even in the Cruyff era, the Three Musketeers era, and the Hiddink era, the Dutch team has not achieved this.
A little. What's more, today's Dutch team has a record of winning the qualifiers and the group stage. It is no exaggeration to say that in terms of World Cup record, this is the strongest Dutch team in 76 years!
In the qualifiers and the group stage, which team can achieve this? As strong as Spain, they also lost in the group stage; as strong as Brazil, they did not win the qualifiers! In fact, the group situation of the Dutch team is not the same.
Not too good, at least, compared to Italy, France and other teams. The Dutch team’s group opponents are Denmark, Cameroon and Japan.
The other teams are even stronger in terms of hard power. However, in the face of the more pragmatic and control-oriented football of the Netherlands, these opponents did not make a big splash. The Netherlands' qualifying can almost be described as "no bloodshed". This is also
The Dutch team did not consume too much energy, so after entering the knockout rounds, the Netherlands is worth looking forward to.
Before the start of the World Cup, the world often ignored the Netherlands when predicting the World Cup champion, right? As of April, in European football polls, 220,000 people voted for the champion, and the Netherlands only received 3.72% of the votes, which was not as good as Italy.
13. But now, if we do another survey, what will be the support rate of the Dutch team? Robben said it well: "We don't care if others say we are beautiful. We came to South Africa just to fight for the championship!"
In another game that started at the same time, Li Yu didn't watch it. Japan defeated Denmark 3:1 and qualified as second in the group.
In this campaign, Arsenal's towering Bendtner continued to lead the Trident, with Romedal and Thomasson instigating on the wings. Kallenborg replaced veteran Grenjaer in the starting lineup, and Kroldrup replaced the suspended Kyle.
Teaming up with Agger in defense, Sorensen guarded the gate. The Japanese team's lineup remained unchanged from the previous battle, with Keisuke Honda leading the team, captain Makoto Hasebe in the midfield, and Nagaji Kawashima guarding the gate.
In the second game, Denmark defeated Cameroon 2-1, winning their first victory in this World Cup and rekindling their hope of qualifying. Japan, with a small load of 0-1, had 1 win and 1 loss in two games and accumulated 3 points. Due to its goal difference advantage
, so Japan can join hands with the Netherlands to qualify from this group as long as they draw with Denmark in the final round. The two teams have only played once in history. In a friendly match in 1971, the Danish team narrowly defeated Japan 3-2.
It was supposed to be a close match, but who would have thought that it would result in a big score.
In the 17th minute, Keisuke Honda scored with a free kick from 30 yards out. In the 30th minute, Yasuhito Endo scored another goal with a free kick from 26 yards out. In the 81st minute, Thomason got one point back. In the 87th minute, Okazaki
Shinji sealed the victory.
The second Asian team to advance in the World Cup was born!
Japan defeated Denmark and advanced to the top 16. This also made Japan the second Asian team to advance to the top 16 of this World Cup after South Korea. Coincidentally, the last time two Asian teams advanced to the top 16, it was South Korea and
In 2002, South Korea advanced to the semi-finals and Japan advanced to the top 16. The two Asian teams' strong advancement to the top 16 was also a powerful counterattack against FIFA's attempt to reduce the number of places to participate in the AFC World Cup.
However, they all qualified as the second place in the group, which seems to have little convincing. Now there is another hope in Asia, and that is the China Hong Kong team. They have the hope of winning the first place in the group, which is recognized as the death group of Group G.
As the top spot in the group, no one would be optimistic about the possibility of South Korea or Japan being placed in Group G. However, the China Hong Kong team did this, drawing with Brazil in the first time and defeating Portugal for the first time.
Both South Korea and Japan are celebrating nationwide, so what will be the celebration waiting for the China Hong Kong team to qualify in first place?
Asian celebration?
But that is the real celebration of Asia, first place in the group, what a rare word, who among the Asian teams can achieve this?
The media is still describing the greatness of Japan and South Korea. One day later, these words seem to be paving the way for the China Hong Kong team.
Chinese people all over the world are paying attention to the final round of Group G that will be played next.
The two games will be played at the same time, and whether the group leader is ranked first will be announced at the same time.
Li Yu carried Jenny to the bedroom, washed himself, and went to bed early. Tomorrow's game will be very important. Li Yu is forcing himself to sleep. Regardless of whether he can sleep or not, he also lies down and has a rest.
Complete the last treatment.
The special treatment plan for the optical brain was completed just one day before the last round of competition, which was good. Finally, I no longer had to wear the mask to compete.
Closing her eyes, Li Yu began the last treatment...
The game will be held in the afternoon in South Africa. The China Hong Kong team did not have any training in the morning. Every team in the World Cup in South Africa is complaining about one thing. The distance between the competition venues is too far. Many teams are complaining that they have no time to rest.
, a lot of time is spent traveling back and forth.
This is very similar to the two games a week in Europe, and they are two back-to-back away games. Of course, you will be tired after rushing back and forth. Moreover, some teams still do this every game, and of course they will complain about the chaos on the field.
The China Hong Kong team played three games and visited three stadiums in South Africa. It was also one of the teams that traveled back and forth.
However, today they were in good condition and in a good mood. Li Yu took off his mask and greeted every team member warmly at breakfast.
A Li Yu who has completed his recovery makes all China Hong Kong team players feel confident!
Eriksson is the same, it is a miracle of God. The Swedes have completely believed that this is a miracle. The old man naturally knows what Li Yu's injury looks like, but it has only been a few days since Li Yu recovered. It is not God.
What is the miracle of.
With this feeling, Eriksen also believes that the team he leads will continue to go on to win the first place in the group. The old Swedish man believes that the China Hong Kong team can not only win the first place in the group, but also go further.
A miracle can also be created in the World Cup football field.
Ghana has already entered the top 16. Will Cote d'Ivoire become the second African team in the top 16? The British "Daily Mirror" calculated that Cote d'Ivoire only has a theoretical hope of advancing, and "the probability will not exceed 1%."
, they are facing an impossible task: first they need Brazil to help defeat Portugal, and then they have to win the China Hong Kong team with a huge score.
After two games, the China Hong Kong team has scored 4 points and has a goal difference, while the Ivorians have 1 point and a goal difference of -2. In order to advance, in addition to Cote d'Ivoire beating the China Hong Kong team, Brazil beat Portugal
, so that in addition to having the same points, they also need to equalize the 3-goal difference between them and China Hong Kong.
Goal difference. As early as the loss to Brazil, the head coach of Côte d'Ivoire had already predicted that "goal difference may become the key to qualifying for the group." But who would have thought that Portugal would lose in the next game?
China Hong Kong team, "The only thing left to the African elephant is a big victory over China Hong Kong."
"There is still one game. We will try our best and hope that the game can achieve our goal." Defender Demel insisted that the "African Elephants" still have hope of advancing. "The game is not over yet." The Ivory Coast player said about
They have not lost confidence in advancing, at least part of their hope of advancement is still in their own hands.
What makes Cote d'Ivoire even more troublesome is that they only scored 1 goal in the first two games, which shows that there is a problem with the offensive power of the "African Elephant". Although he scored a goal in the game against Brazil, top striker Drogba's
The arm injury still has a considerable impact on his performance, and his strike partners Kalou and Heat
Ervinho and Dindane obviously did not help. Defender Kolo Toure said: "In the first two games, we did not seize the opportunity and even made too many mistakes on the offensive line. Against the Hong Kong team
In the game, we can’t make any more mistakes. First of all, we must seize every opportunity to score goals.”
Maybe the African elephants thought well, but they forgot one thing: is the China and Hong Kong team that tied with Brazil and beat Portugal so easy to beat?
The media didn't even say that the weakest team in Group G now is none other than Cote d'Ivoire.
Another team, Portugal, is not doing much better. If the Brazilians want to advance, it seems that they have to get at least 1 point to be safe. Will Brazil let go?
Obviously it's impossible. The Portuguese want to win, and the Brazilians want at least a draw. The situation of the final round of Group G is already obvious. No one can relax. Everyone has the hope of advancing. Death
This group is also the most chaotic group.
The match between Brazil and Portugal has not yet started, but the war of words between the two sides has already begun. Cristiano Ronaldo said that he would "beat Brazil to death." Brazilian team captain Lucio also showed a fearless attitude: "Cristiano Ronaldo is not terrible.
Forward, I even feel that there is nothing to fear at all. We are a team that has experienced many battles, and we don’t
We are afraid of our opponents, and we are not even worried about Portugal's captain Ronaldo. He has just ended a 16-month scoring drought for the national team in the game against China Hong Kong, so we are not even worried about how powerful he is.
At the beginning of this game, we will keep a clean sheet. Brazil will still use the 'Samba style' to play this game."
Lucio said that the Brazilian team will not send someone to mark Ronaldo. "As we all know, Ronaldo is a great star. He has had many glorious moments in his career. He has extraordinary talent as a shooter and a keen sense of smell in front of the goal.
He has scored many goals. But I believe there is no need to send someone to take special care of him. Portugal is fighting as a team, not alone. Football matches cannot be won by focusing on one of the opponent's forwards. The important thing is
The key is that the whole team has to work together to win the game.”
"It's me first" is a theme that Lucio has repeatedly emphasized. He said: "No matter who I face, I don't want to change the way I play. No matter whether the opponent is Cristiano Ronaldo or any great star, I will still do a good job."
Everything I have to do, I am always motivated to play against a strong team because it will be a great game. I think the Brazilian team should be true to their style so that they can beat the team.
Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal team is even more powerful."
Why is there such a strong smell of gunpowder before the game between the two teams begins?
Needless to say, the strength of Brazil, the five-time champion, is no less impressive than Portugal, the "Brazil of Europe". The same language makes the two countries like brothers across the ocean, but their colonial history of blood and tears makes them intertwined with love and hate. In the 1966 England World Cup group stage,
Eusebio's Portugal 3
Brazil beat Pele 1-1, and the Selecao, who aspired to defend their title, were eliminated miserably. They were old enemies; in the warm-up match in November 2008, Kaká's Brazil swept Ronaldo's Portugal 6-2. This was a new hatred. Brazil and Portugal
The two heroes sharpen their swords and guns, and a revenge battle is about to begin!
Counting from the 1994 World Cup, the Brazilian team has reached three finals and won twice, entering its second heyday after Pele's era. Portuguese football has also entered a golden period in this century, and the "golden generation" has led Portugal to consecutive finals weeks of major competitions.
, and won the runner-up in the 2004 European Cup and the runner-up in the 2006 World Cup. The battle between Brazil and Portugal has attracted much attention. It is exciting to see who will win, the original Samba, ranked first and third in the world, and the European Brazil.
Eusebio, the protagonist of the feud 44 years ago, stood up to heat up the war, "I can't say that Portugal is stronger than Brazil now. Brazil has won five world championships and has outstanding players. But I want to say who is better.
, this is also difficult. It is difficult to compare Brazil and Portugal, and unexpected things may happen." Durban
The stadium can accommodate 70,000 spectators. Tickets for the match between Brazil and Portugal were sold out 4 months ago. Now the black market price of the tickets has risen to 1,200 euros. The match between Brazil and Portugal will be broadcast in 3D in some theaters in the two countries. Before the game, the two sides
The generals spoke cautiously and avoided predicting the outcome, and the media from both countries believed that neither had a clear advantage.
