In the 1st minute, the Uruguayan midfielder made a mistake in passing the ball. Park Ji-sung drove the ball straight into the penalty area, but the final ball was intercepted by Lugano not in time.
In the 4th minute, M-Pereira fouled in the backcourt. Park Zhouyong took a free kick from 25 yards and hit the goal with his right foot. The ball drew a wonderful arc around the wall and hit the outside of the post!
In the 6th minute, Forlan's low shot from the edge of the penalty area was scored by Zheng Chenglong. Uruguay took the lead in the 8th minute. Forlan attracted the defensive ball. Cavani moved his right outside instep. Forlan dunked Kim Jong-woo diagonally on the left.
Before the pass, Zheng Chenglong fell to the ground and saved without being touched. Suarez, who was unmarked, hit an empty goal from behind, 1-0.
Uruguay's multi-point offense achieved results, leading South Korea 1:0.
Li Yu discovered a problem. After the South American team Uruguay advanced to the knockout rounds, their tactics showed no sign of being conservative. On the contrary, the offense felt more powerful. Will the same be true for the Chilean team?
It wasn't until the 68th minute that the South Korean team equalized the score. Lugano fouled in the backcourt. Ki Sung-yung took a free kick into the penalty area. Victorino's header was not far away. Li Qingyong grabbed Lugano and the attacking Muss.
Laila succeeded with a header, 1-1!
Who would have thought that the leading Uruguayans would become somewhat incapable of playing football. In the second half, South Korea became more and more courageous. Under the pressure of the score, they kept suppressing the Uruguay team's attacks.
The gap between the two teams was not as big as reflected in the opening. The South Korean team was late in the game, but Uruguay was a little hung up, and was equalized at this time.
Uruguay sealed the victory in the 80th minute. Forlan took a corner kick from the right. The South Korean defender was not far away from the defense. Suarez hit a wonderful curved ball from the edge of the penalty area. The ball hit the inside of the post and bounced into the door, 2-1! Suarez!
Si scored twice, which was also his third goal in this World Cup.
The final score was fixed at 2:1. Uruguay defeated the South Korean team only with the performance of individual stars. This was the general view of all China Hong Kong team members who watched the game.
With the three long whistles of the German referee Stark, Uruguay's 2-1 victory over South Korea was settled. The rain was pouring, but the scene of the Uruguayans running wildly in the rain still shocked the world. The Uruguayans had been waiting for this day.
A full 40 years! They spent many years in humiliation, and finally on this day, 40 years of hard work finally bore fruit.
In fact, Uruguay was once the top team in the history of the World Cup. The Uruguay team has won the World Cup twice: In the first World Cup in 1930, the host Uruguay won all four games, sweeping Romania, Yugoslavia, Argentina and other teams by a huge score, and won the championship with great pride.
.Twenty years later, Uruguay once again participated in the World Cup, and successively defeated Spain and Sweden. In the final battle, it defeated Brazil 2-1 and won its second World Cup championship. After participating twice and winning twice, Uruguay football showed the world
their strength.
But in this world, there are three types of people who suffer the most: beauties who were once gorgeous, but now look old; rich men who were once rich and powerful, but now lack food and clothing; champions who were once proud of the world, but now can be bullied by everyone
.Uruguay is a two-time world champion. In terms of performance, it is only inferior to Brazil, Italy, Germany and other countries. Even the so-called football noses such as England
We need to look up to our ancestors. However, the glory of the Uruguayans is too old after all, far beyond the age of most fans! Nowadays, when great powers like England and Spain are sought after by the world, the Uruguayans can only recall
Looking at the glory of the past, silently hiding in the corner to accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity. How can such humiliation and pain be expressed in a few words?
Uruguay reached the semi-finals of the World Cup in 1954. In a group with Czechoslovakia, Austria, and Scotland, Uruguay won all and defeated England 4-2 in the finals of 18. Unfortunately, when 8 advanced to 4, Uruguay
Uruguay lost to Hungary in overtime.
In 1970, Uruguay once again competed in the World Cup. In a group with Italy, Sweden, and Israel, Uruguay ranked second and defeated the Soviet Union in the 8-to-4 match. In the semi-finals, Uruguay lost to Brazil.
Only finished fourth.
These two semi-final experiences turned out to be the best results of Uruguay's declining aristocracy in so many years! Since 1970, the top eight has been an unattainable dream for Uruguay. In 1974, Uruguay went to the World Cup.
Loadland, lost to Sweden, tied with Bulgaria, was at the bottom of the group and missed the qualification; in 1978 and 1982, Uruguay was unable to participate. In 1986 in Mexico, although Uruguay qualified from a difficult group (the opponents in the same group were Denmark, Germany, and Scotland), but in 18
Lost to Argentina in the final. In 1990, Uruguay once again qualified in the group (tied with Spain, lost to Belgium, and defeated South Korea), but lost to Italy in the 18th final.
Starting from the 1990s, the Uruguay team entered a 16-year historical downturn. In 1994, Uruguay missed the World Cup; in 1998, Uruguay missed it again. In 2002, the Uruguay team was forced into the World Cup qualifying play-offs.
They barely defeated Australia to enter the World Cup, but in the main group stage, they had 2 draws and 1 loss and missed the qualification. They lost to Denmark, tied with France, and tied with Senegal. In the 2006 World Cup, Australia once again entered the World Cup qualifying play-offs, but this time, Uruguay
Lost to Australia...
In the past 16 years, Uruguay has missed the main matches of the World Cup three times and failed to qualify for the group stage once. It can be said that Uruguayan football has reached the lowest point in history. This is mainly because there is a gap in Uruguay's football talents: the old batch of stars
Players such as Francescoli are getting old one after another, the new batch of players such as Forlan and others are immature, and the players of the Mesozoic era such as Recoba are suffering from injuries.
But it is precisely because of these 16 years of humiliation that Uruguayan players have accumulated their own strength. Players such as Forlan, Suarez, Cavani, and Muslera have received sufficient training in leagues such as Spain, the Netherlands, and Italy.
Exercise and become more mature. It can be said that it was the humiliation of the past 16 years that inspired the Uruguayans to work hard and endure hardships, and finally found hope of reviving the team.
Judging from the division situation, after Uruguay advances, it will meet the winner between the United States and Ghana in the 8-to-4 match. Uruguay is fully capable of fighting it. If it can enter the top 4 again, Uruguay will not only tie 60
The best record in the past year. The opponent at that time may be Brazil or the Netherlands. This not only proves the status of Uruguayan football in the international football world, but also an opportunity, an opportunity to reproduce its past glory!
There was a burst of boasting after the game, but the China Hong Kong team ignored it completely. However, the heavy rain reminded the China Hong Kong team that the weather of the game was a big factor that affected the final outcome. Eriksson told the players to do
I was mentally prepared for the rain battle, and also made corresponding training content during the training the next day.
In the subsequent game between Ghana and the United States, there were many fewer spectators.
In the end, the Americans failed to perform another miracle and were eliminated by the Ghanaians 2:1. The Ghanaian team also defended the honor of the African team and advanced to the top 8 knockout rounds.
Ghana has reached the top 8. Although this record is not a record for European, South American and even Asian teams. But for Africa, this result is already tied with the best in history. As we all know,
, African football has never lacked stars, but previously, the African team’s best World Cup record was not
It's just the top eight. Cameroon in 1990 and Senegal in 2002 did this. Now, Ghana's name must be written in the history books - and don't forget that Ghana still has the opportunity to continue to refresh history. After all, their 14th
Uruguay, their opponent in the final, is a team that gives them "ideas".
The world is asking, why can Ghana win this honor? Why can Ghana become the best team in Africa? To understand this question, we must first understand one thing: What are the strengths and weaknesses of African teams?
The advantages of African teams are obvious: each team generally has excellent physical fitness, specifically, extremely fast speed (such as Eto'o), super physical confrontation ability (Drogba), jumping ability and explosive power.
Superior (such as Chabalala)
.Moreover, almost every African team has some stars playing in Europe's top leagues and top clubs, such as the two-time Triple Crown winner Eto'o, such as the new Premier League double winner Drogba, such as Yaya.
- Touré, Muntari, etc.
But the weaknesses of African teams lie in three points: First, they play too unrestrainedly and attack with passion, but they do not pay attention to defense (for example, South Africa, Nigeria and other teams have scored more goals than Ghana, but their defense is disorganized.
). Furthermore, within the team
It is not coordinated and often causes internal strife and scandals (for example, in the Cameroon team, gangs broke up in the locker room and a mutiny broke out before the life-and-death showdown). The third point is that the game strategy was chosen incorrectly. It was too conservative when it was time to be aggressive, and it was too conservative when it should be aggressive.
It's time to be too aggressive.
Strong offense and weak defense, internal discord, and improper strategies are common problems of African teams. Six African teams attacked. South Africa, Nigeria, Cameroon, Algeria, and Cote d'Ivoire were all eliminated in the group stage and made many mistakes.
It’s these three points. And these three points are exactly what Ghana does best!
Ghana's offensive power is not strong. They only scored 2 goals in 3 games in the group stage. This number is not even as good as many teams that did not qualify. However, Ghana's defense is very good. They only conceded 2 goals in 3 games in the group stage, especially against Australia.
When Serbia and the United States were the third team, Ghana relied on solid defense and sharp counterattacks to find victory.
Ghana is also relatively united internally. As we all know, before this World Cup, three teams including Cote d'Ivoire, South Africa, and Nigeria changed coaches before the match, which led to some internal problems. The Ghana team has no doubts about its personnel, and Rajevac has been stable in the coaching position for two years.
Discipline, including big names like Muntari, have been punished by team rules. This has resulted in the military discipline of the Ghana team being among the best among African powers.
Of course, the most successful part of the Ghana team lies in tactics. Rajvac chose to defend solidly, quickly pass the midfield counterattack tactics, emphasize the fierce interception in the midfield, and emphasize line selection in the counterattack. Against Serbia, the United States, and Ghana, all
It takes the initiative to choose the defensive position and relies on clear lines and quick counterattacks to attack the opponent with a bloody blow. The effect is extremely good.
Paying attention to internal unity, establishing strict military discipline, solid defense, and emphasizing counterattacks... these are the basis for Inter Milan's success in the past season. Now, Ghana uses the same team building method to defend the bottom line dignity of the African Army in the World Cup
.
The first day of the World Cup knockout rounds has passed, and the participating teams are not very attractive to neutral fans.
The next day was different, England and Germany were fighting, and Argentina was playing against Mexico.
Every scene is exciting and attracts attention.
In particular, how much attention was paid to the war between Britain and Germany?
"The media are requested to cooperate with the police and appeal to the fans who did not come not to come to Bloemfontein again." This is what Brudley, the commander-in-chief of the Bloemfontein Police District of the World Cup, emphasized in an interview last night.
Although Bloemfontein is the judicial capital of South Africa, it has a population of only 500,000. For a world-famous Anglo-German war, it is indeed difficult to bear.
To see how big a city is, just look at how wide the road leading to it is. The road leading to Bloemfontein from all directions has only two lanes in both directions. The black drivers laughed and said, in fact, in South Africa, Bloemfontein is
Longfontein is known as the "country capital".
With more than 30 hours left before the Great War between Britain and Germany, the road from Johannesburg to Bloemfontein is already bustling with people, and cars flying the German and English flags can be seen everywhere. From the ID on the driver's chest, we can see that there are
Many reporters from various countries drove their own cars to Bloemfontein. As a result, cars going to Bloemfontein often ran into the opposite lane, which was really dangerous.
Just after entering the border of Bloemfontein, a dark green tank parked conspicuously on the roadside, and the grim scene before the war began.
Entering the city, you can see British and German fans everywhere, waving their own flags and singing songs that disparage each other. If you listen carefully, you will know which country this group belongs to.
On the road leading to the stadium, there are isolation iron bars and cement barriers used by the police. With the World Cup interview pass, the reporter's car was able to successfully enter the Free State Stadium despite repeated police inquiries.
Outside the stadium, Police District Commander Brudelli accepted an interview with reporters. "Due to work regulations, we cannot disclose how many police personnel will be present in this game, but what can be said is that it will definitely exceed the number of police personnel held here before.
Any game. Moreover, for this important event, the police will allocate an additional 3,000 police personnel to support. We will strictly follow the security regulations of the World Cup, close the martial law 24 hours in advance, and conduct strict security searches to ensure that nothing is missed."
At various venues of the World Cup in South Africa, fans can freely purchase beer and other beverages from on-site shops. However, this time around the England-Germany war, no alcoholic beverages will be sold inside the venue.
Brudley said: "We know very well that British and German fans like to drink beer and watch football, and we also know that drunkenness can easily lead to accidents. In order to ensure the progress of this game and the flow of people after the game, we will take strict measures
Measures to ban fans from drinking before and during games."
As the judicial capital, Bloemfontein has one of the lowest crime rates in South Africa. However, local residents are already very worried about whether the fans singing and dancing in the streets will cause trouble under the stimulation of alcohol. They live close to the stadium.
Residents nearby have put up some eye-catching signs outside their houses to persuade fans not to break the law.
This quiet little town is looking forward to the war, but also worried about the war.
The war is about to begin, and there is always a scene of rain and wind. As the most eye-catching battle since the start of the World Cup in South Africa, although the British and German teams have not officially played against each other, they have already "collided" into a dazzling battle.
Sparks, even the leaders of the two countries showed a clear line of demarcation.
From Ballack turning into an "intelligence spy", to whether Bastian Schweinsteiger will play, to reports of "internal strife" between Capello and Pierce in England, the war between England and Germany has not yet begun, and various rumors are already dark.
It was densely covered, and it felt quite like the intelligence war that the Allied forces fought before the Normandy landing. However, this time the Germans obviously had more methods.
Just after it was confirmed that England and Germany would meet in the quarter-finals, "Little Pig" Bastian Schweinsteiger was once reported to be unable to play due to injury. However, according to the latest news from the German team's training camp, "
"Little Pig" participated in the German team's training session on the eve of the England-Germany war. Judging from the training situation, Schweinsteiger's thigh injury is no longer serious.
If the news of Piglet's comeback was not enough to shock England, then Loew's "disappearance" was insidious enough. At the German team's regular pre-match press conference yesterday local time, head coach Loew
He was actually absent, and this disrespectful act also aroused the anger of the English reporters present.
Regarding the negligent behavior of the German team's coaching staff, a British reporter criticized: "Our England team coach just flew from Rustenburg to the competition venue and attended the press conference non-stop and patiently accepted our questions.
Where is he?" When several British reporters saw goalkeeper coach Koepke attending in place of Loew, they asked him why Loew didn't come.
Koepke shifted the responsibility to FIFA, claiming that it was because of improper arrangements by FIFA that Loew was unable to balance attending press conferences and leading team training. However, imagine the faces of the English reporters.
Angry, Loew may be having fun at the training ground at this moment.
The war between Britain and Germany not only excited the fans of the two countries, but also the heads of state of the two countries were involved. German Chancellor Merkel and British Prime Minister Cameron, who are attending the G20 Summit in Toronto, expressed their views on this "British-German War"
expressed their respective opinions.
As the number one fan of the German team, Merkel met with the players immediately to express her respect when the German team was eliminated by Italy and finished third in the last World Cup. Even before the German team went to this World Cup, Merkel
She also went to the base to express her visit. Although she was busy with official duties during this cup, Merkel still expressed her expectations for the German team's performance in the World Cup at a press conference in Toronto. She said that she would watch the German team's performance on live TV.
Play the game and cheer for the team.
If Merkel wants to watch the game, Cameron, as the British Prime Minister, will naturally not be left behind. And because the leaders of the two countries are in Toronto, it has also triggered speculation about whether the two leaders will watch the game together. Faced with
British Prime Minister Cameron politely declined this proposal.
In an interview with state television, he said that it would be better for him and Merkel to watch the game separately. This kind of occasion is really not suitable for the two leaders to watch the game together, thus suppressing their respective emotions. It seems that even as important politicians,
In the face of the war between Britain and Germany, it is difficult to maintain enough rationality and posture.
