Friday, June 27, Beijing time.

São Paulo Arena, a match in Group H, South Korea lost to Belgium O:1, only one point from three games, one draw and two losses, and was dismal from the bottom of the group;

So far, the group stage of this World Cup has all ended, and the list of the top 16 has also been released. Brazil and Mexico in Group A, the Netherlands and Chile in Group B, Colombia and China in Group C, Costa Rica and Uruguay in Group D, France and Switzerland in Group E, Argentina and Nigeria in Group F, Germany and the United States in Group G, and Belgium and Algeria in Group H.

The matchup situation is as follows: Group A first vs. Group B second, Group A second vs. Group B first, and so on. Brazil vs. Chile, Netherlands vs. Mexico, Colombia vs. Uruguay, Costa Rica vs. China, France vs. Nigeria, Argentina vs. Switzerland, Germany vs. Algeria, Belgium vs. United States.

Among these 16 teams, the "home game" of the Americas 6 has become the biggest winner, with eight teams from the Americas 6, accounting for half of the top 16 places, namely Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Uruguay, Mexico, Costa Rica and the United States, only Ecuador and Honduras missed the round of 16.

Compared to previous World Cups, the overall performance of European teams has been a little worse, with eight of the thirteen teams eliminated, including England, Italy, Spain, Portugal and other traditional giants, especially the defending champion Spain, who went out in a way that bordered on shame, which is embarrassing.

The remaining five teams are the Netherlands, France, Switzerland, Germany and Belgium, only Switzerland is slightly weaker than the other five, the other three teams are very strong, the Netherlands, France and Germany have always been the top teams, and Germany is one of the biggest favorites to win the title, Belgium is the team that has risen in recent years, and the team with Hazard is very young and promising.

Africa has Nigeria and Algeria in the round of 16, but if nothing else, they are likely not to be seen in the quarter-finals. But reaching the round of 16 is already a big step forward for these two teams.

The worst thing in Asia is that only one team of the Chinese team advanced, and the other three teams all returned to their hometowns, and they all went home with the bottom of the group, without winning a single game. For this reason, the Chinese team, as the only pearl in the top 16, also shouted the slogan of "fighting for the honor of Asia".

In the scorer list, Germany's Muller, Argentina's Messi and Brazil's Neymar are all temporarily at the top of the scorer list with four goals, Rodriguez, Benzema, Van Persie and Robben have scored three goals, and China's two major forwards Zhang Shujie and Li Mu have scored two goals, all of which have at least one game to play, and they are all likely to expand their goals.

************************

An Rong just watched the video of Costa Rica's game with Song Weifeng in the room, and several players have left a deep impact on them, judging from the performance of many players on the video, Costa Rica was able to counterattack Italy and England in the group of death, and surpassed Uruguay to advance to the round of 16 as the first in the group, which is no accident.

An Rong held a stack of materials in his hand, frowned and glanced at them a few times, and said: "The information says that Costa Rica has as many as eleven players playing in Europe, and I think four of them are the most critical four according to the game video. ”

An Rong said and looked at Song Weifeng, Song Weifeng took the information in his hand and said: "It should be Levante's Navas, Mainz's Dias, and Arsenal's Campbell on loan in the Greek League and Fulham on loan in the Eredivisie Ruiz." ”

An Rong nodded and said, "That's right, these four people are the key to Costa Rica's ability to advance to the round of 16." Especially goalkeeper Keylor Navas, I heard a small rumor that Real Madrid is said to have taken a fancy to him and are ready to bring him in. ”

"I also pay attention to him, to be honest, Costa Rica's central defenders are actually very average, several of the main central defenders have had problems in each of the three group stage games, such as misplacement and leakage, but Keylor Navas saved Costa Rica several times, without him, Costa Rica would not have conceded only one goal in the group stage, let alone have a chance to compete in the round of 16. ”

'He's not yet 28 years old, he's at the peak of his career, and he's been particularly quick to react from the goal line, with a couple of close-range shots on target. However, he also has weaknesses, he is a little shorter, as a goalkeeper, he is only 1.85 meters tall, and he is a little difficult to parry with high-altitude balls. Although the bounce force can be used as a certain compensation, the problem of 'arm length' cannot be solved by bounce, which is an inherent advantage. ”

"What do you mean, we can start from this aspect and launch an attack?"

"That's what I thought at first, but I decided to think of something else first. ”

Song Weifeng was stunned for a moment and said, "Since I know Navas's weakness, why don't I take advantage of his weakness?"

An Rong smiled and said, "Old Song, you have to believe that we are studying Costa Rica, and their head coach is also studying us, and while he is showing our weaknesses, he will also find ways to protect the weaknesses exposed by his team. I was thinking that they must know that we have seen the shortcomings of their goalkeepers, so they should also be guessing what kind of tactics we might use. ”

Song Weifeng understood: "So, are we going to attack it unprepared?"

"Not bad. Our disciples are very comprehensive and can adapt to almost any tactics, Costa Rica as a South American team, the players are doing a good job at their feet, you look at their formation, they are used to 541 or 451, which shows that they like to focus on defense and wait for opportunities to counterattack. ”

An Rong's words were not finished, and Song Weifeng did not ask, there are some things that do not need to be asked too thoroughly. What's more, Costa Rica's defensive counterattack may not necessarily be used in the knockout round, and Anrong's arrangement will largely be adjusted according to the situation on the field.

Song Weifeng just asked: "An Zhi, then do you think the opponent can show the weakness of our defense in a short period of time? ”

"You know our defenders like to attack, except for Liang Xiran, once you attack, the back is inevitably hollow, and Costa Rica's defensive counter-attack can come in handy. But I'm not very worried about this personally, our two fullbacks are very fast, Yan Tao is also very fast, most of the time can return to defense in time, and the midfielder's return strength is enough, and there is generally no break. Unless ......"

"Unless what?"

An Rong waved his hand and said, "Forget it, Costa Rica shouldn't be able to do this, don't think about it so much for the time being." It's not too late to think about it on the 26th (local time in Brazil). ”
