Chapter 613: Keeping up with the knockout round

Bacca's long-range shot from outside the box was of good quality, Ma Junqiang saved the ball off the line, and Colombia took a corner. Rodriguez drove into the box and it was Baca again, his header flying off the crossbar.

Thirty seconds into stoppage time, Colombia had to make a substitution. The last to be substituted was Rodriguez, and it was Ramirez who came on the pitch.

The two teams used up all the substitutions, and Ramirez didn't do much other than warm up at this time, and he couldn't even touch the ball a few times. But the teammates still take care of it and try to pass the ball to him, otherwise don't end the game without the ball touching it after the ball is on the field, it will be embarrassing, you must know that this is the World Cup, and any detail can easily be transmitted to the world.

Ramirez controlled the ball, and the Chinese player didn't grab him, he was thinking about who to pass to, but the referee didn't wait any longer and blew the whistle directly.

"Toot!toot!tootβ€”"

"The game is over, in this not very important, a little boring, very friendly game, the Chinese team and Colombia are a 1:1 handshake, the two teams join hands to enter the round of 16, which can be regarded as a happy result, although the process is not so satisfactory. But considering that the two teams will have a knockout round in the future, it is not incomprehensible for the two coaches to arrange the team in this way. ”

An Rong went to find Pekerman, and Pekerman also happened to come to him, the two shook hands with a very friendly smile, and on the court, the players of the two teams also shook hands with each other, Yan Tao found Rodriguez and exchanged jerseys with him.

Zhang Shujie and Zapata exchanged jerseys, the fame of the two in world football is a world of difference, Zapata took the initiative to find him, and then Li Mu, Ma Junqiang and other players also exchanged jerseys with each other, probably because everyone was out of the line, and the mood was very good, so everyone was changing clothes, and for a while, the players on the field took off their shirts and exchanged with each other.

Zhang 6 said with a smile: "Indeed, it is very friendly. Regardless of the nature of the game, we also want to see more of the players and the friendly side of the players, football is supposed to be a very pure sport. ”

The captain of this game, Ma Junqiang and Li Muben, arranged an interview, and Zhang Shujie went directly to the locker room, although he is the team's top name, it does not mean that he has to be interviewed by the media at the end of each game.

In the dressing room, there was no crazy celebration as you had imagined - in fact, after the last round of the group, everyone had already celebrated, and today was the case. The players were just chatting with each other and seemed very happy.

Yes, they qualified unbeaten in the group stage, with as many points as Colombia, but second on goal difference, and they have plenty of reasons to be happy.

After Zhang Shujie took a shower and changed his clothes, An Rong had to take him to the post-game press conference, which had been arranged a long time ago, and after the game, he needed to attend with the head coach.

At the press conference, An Rong said: "The group stage is over, and the Chinese team has qualified. Well, I'll admit, we didn't play very well in the last game of the group stage and disappointed the fans. ”

Chen Hui suddenly asked An Rong at this time: "May I ask Director An, did you deliberately treat this game indifferently in order to avoid Colombia in the knockout round?"

Chen Hui was already very polite when he used the word "bland", and he wanted to say "negative" at first.

An Rong looked at him and said: "If a reporter friend wants to think like this, I don't care, even if you write it into the news report! It's true that my attitude towards this game is not as good as the first two games, but my biggest purpose is to try to keep my main players as strong as possible, and at the same time keep the players in an active state at all times, and if I really want to give up the game, I can send all the substitutes. ”

Chen Hui didn't ask, sat down, and another reporter asked Zhang Shujie: "May I ask Zhang Shujie what is your opinion?"

To this ambiguous question, Zhang Shujie also replied vaguely: "If you ask my opinion on this game, then I tell you, I am very satisfied, because I did not lose; if you ask about our performance in the three group games, I am also very satisfied, and the qualification for the round of 16 is proof; and if you ask about the opponent of the knockout round, I can only say that it is not bad to break into the top 16, at least in this World Cup, everyone is very good." Of course, there are some teams that are strong in their own right, but because of injuries, form, etc., they have to go home, and I feel sorry for them. ”

The press conference was not long, less than an hour, which was probably the shortest time of the World Cup, but no one cared about it anymore.

On the second day of the game, major Chinese newspapers published the points information of the Chinese team, three games, two wins and one draw, a total of seven points, the same as Colombia, but the goal difference of the Chinese team is one less. In the three games, China scored seven goals and conceded two, while Colombia scored eight goals and conceded two, so China finished second in the group.

The opponent of the Chinese team has also been determined, and it is Costa Rica, who is ranked first in Group D. Regarding this point, as An Rong said at yesterday's press conference, sure enough, a reporter wrote it into the news, and Chen Hui speculated: "It is not ruled out that the Chinese team will reduce the quality of attack in the final round of the group stage in order to meet Costa Rica, which is weaker in the overall strength, but An Rong is not wrong to arrange it this way, and any team will do this, and Colombia is not very excited to play in the game." ”

Some reporters believe that the Chinese team meets Costa Rica in the round of 16, which greatly increases the probability of advancing to the quarterfinals; but some people believe that Costa Rica's strength on paper is indeed not top-notch, but their ability to defeat Italy and Uruguay shows that this team also has something commendable, and if the Chinese team despises them, I am afraid that it will follow in the footsteps of Uruguay and Italy. The so-called "careless Jingzhou", in the World Cup, especially in the knockout round, no one can be sloppy.

A reporter listed some of the game statistics of the Chinese team: Zhang Shujie and Li Mu scored the most goals, both of whom scored two goals, and Xu Ziyi, Zhao Wenkang, and Yan Tao each scored one goal. In terms of assists, Chen Zihua twice, Zhang Shujie, Xu Ziyi, Zhao Wenkang, Huang Yu and Tang Ling each once.

There are two people who are a little surprised by these statistics, one is Li Mu, the Juventus star who is known as a good passer has no assists at present, Li Mu missed a third of the games last season due to injury, but he still scored 21 goals and assists 1o times in 25 games, and won a double-double in three consecutive seasons; 。 Fortunately, the Chinese team has at least one game to play, and fans who like Chen Zihua are also looking forward to him being "**" on the World Cup stage as soon as possible.
