Chapter 442: The group qualified

After winning the first round of the World Cup, the Chinese team and the Netherlands team are tied on three points, and the Chinese team ranks second in Group B after the Dutch team because of the disadvantage of goal difference.

Despite this, Zhang Huasong, who scored a hat-trick and almost single-handedly defeated Chile's team, was voted the best player of the match and swiped the pages of the world's media.

Zhang Huasong has also become a football hero in the hearts of Chinese fans.

Moreover, after the first round of the group stage, some media and fans began to discuss the possibility of the Chinese team winning the championship and Zhang Huasong being crowned king.

As far as Zhang Huasong is concerned, he has won all the championships and honors he can win at the club except for the League Cup. Moreover, in terms of personal data in the same period, Zhang Huasong also completely overwhelmed Messi and Ronaldo with a crushing advantage.

In addition to Messi and Ronaldo surpassing Zhang Huasong in terms of accumulated honors and goals because of their long playing time, Zhang Huasong completely overwhelmed Messi and Ronaldo in terms of goals, assists, championship honors, and personal performance in a single season.

It's just that everyone didn't expect the Chinese team to win the World Cup before.

And if you want to seal the king, you will never be recognized by the world without the World Cup champion. If Zhang Huasong can lead the weak Chinese team to win the World Cup, he will fully meet all the characteristics of a king.

Just like Maradona, he almost single-handedly led Argentina to the top of the world, and only his perfect individual heroism and World Cup championship honor can be called the king of the ball.

Why can't Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo be recognized as the kings of the ball?

Why did Zidane, Ronaldo and others win the World Cup but not be recognized as the king of the ball? Because neither the club nor the national team has reached the point where they almost single-handedly lead the team to the championship.

Their championship honors, although their individual performances are also outstanding and amazing, cannot erase the credit of the team.

So, none of them are recognized as the king of the ball.

Only Zhang Huasong, whether in Atletico Madrid or the national team, is he who leads the team forward almost single-handedly. Moreover, Zhang Huasong's goals are not fed by the whole team, which can be seen from his equally dazzling assist statistics.

When his teammates have a chance, Zhang Huasong doesn't mind assisting his teammates to score, rather than using the team's offensive opportunities to pile up goal numbers for him alone.

Club honours Zhang Huasong has already won all the championships and individual honors in the competitions he can participate in, and now only the World Cup title at national team level is missing.

If Zhang Huasong can lead the weak Chinese team, ranked 60th outside the world, to win the World Cup championship and make a historic breakthrough for Asian teams, the honor of the king of the ball is well deserved.

However, the game only played the first round, and the Chinese team still won 3-2.

Therefore, the possibility of the Chinese team winning the championship is still only discussed by a small number of media and fans, and most people do not believe it and do not bother to discuss this topic.

Not to mention the champion, the Chinese should first consider how to qualify from the group of death!

For the Chinese team, they really don't need to think too much about it at the moment. The current task is indeed to consider how to qualify in the group.

After the first round of matches, the Chinese team left Cuiabá and flew to Porto Alegre, the capital of Rio Grande do Sul.

On June 18, in the second round of Group B, the Chinese team faced the Orange Shirt Netherlands at the Bellario Stadium.

This match can even be called a battle for the top spot in Group B.

Whoever wins will take the top spot in Group B and may be the first to qualify from Group B.

After the training of the first game, the players of the Chinese team played much better in this game, and there was no longer a situation of shrinking at the beginning of the first game.

However, the strength of the Dutch team is much higher than that of Chile. Although Zhang Huasong scored a free kick and assisted Gao Lin to score another goal, China also lost the second game with a score of 2-3.

Although they lost the game, Zhang Huasong still continued to rank first in the scorer list with 4 goals, while the Dutch team won both games and accumulated 6 points, almost securing a qualifying place.

In the other Group B match, Spain lost 2-0 to Chile.

After two rounds of matches, the Netherlands ranks first with 6 points and 5 goal difference after winning all two games, Chile ranks second with 3 points and 1 goal difference, China ranks third with 3 points and 0 goal difference, and Spain has been out of the World Cup in Brazil ahead of schedule with 0 points and 6 goal difference in two games.

Spain also became the first defending champion in World Cup history to go out early after just two games.

The final round of matches against the Chinese team became a war for Spain to defend its honor.

It just so happens that for the Chinese team, which is currently only ranked third, the last game is also a battle of life and death.

If you are not careful, the Chinese team may face the situation of being squeezed out of the game by Chile and the group cannot appear.

Fortunately, the current situation is not 100% for the Dutch team.

If Chile defeats the Netherlands by a large margin in the final round and the Chinese team defeats the Spanish team by a large score, the Dutch team may still be eliminated by the Chinese team and the Chilean team due to the disadvantage of goal difference.

Therefore, although the current situation in Group B is the most favorable for the Netherlands, they still dare not be careless in the final game against Chile, and they still have to fight for at least a draw, or even beat Chile to be the safest.

In this way, as long as the Chinese team defeats Spain, it will have a good chance of qualifying.

So, on June 23, at the Baisada Arena in Curitiba, the capital of Paraná, Brazil, the Chinese team that wanted to qualify and the Spanish team who wanted to defend their dignity started a bloody battle.

In this game, two players of the Chinese team were injured, and one player was sent off after accumulating two yellow cards.

Spain also had one player sent off for tackling Zhang Huasong from behind, and as many as four players were shown yellow cards.

In the end, in a goal shootout, the two sides played 3-4. Spain scored three goals and China scored four.

Another narrow win with a lead of only one goal, the Chinese team narrowly defeated Spain 4-3 to win two games in the group stage, accumulating 6 points to occupy a favorable qualifying situation.

And Zhang Huasong scored another hat-trick and assisted the remaining goal, bringing the goal to 7 and 2 assists.

You must know that sometimes the number of top scorers after the World Cup has not reached 7, and Zhang Huasong has reached it in three group games.

Such a performance can naturally be called the core and leader.

Moreover, all the goals of the Chinese team in the group stage are related to Zhang Huasong, and it is really not wrong to say that Zhang Huasong led the Chinese team forward by himself.

A few minutes later, the final result of the Netherlands vs Chile match, another Group B match that started at the same time, was also announced: the Netherlands 2-0 Chile.

So far, all the games in the group stage of Group B have ended, the Dutch team has won all three games and accumulated 9 points to qualify for the first place in the group, the Chinese team is second in the group with 6 points, and the Chilean team is out of the group with 3 points.

Defending champion Spain lost all three games and scored 0 points, setting a record for the worst record of a defending champion exit.

After the game, including Zhang Huasong, the coaches and players of the Chinese team, the fans in the stands, and the domestic fans who watched the live broadcast and the post-game news all celebrated wildly.

Chinese football has finally ushered in a glorious page!

The Chinese team not only entered the World Cup, not only scored goals and won, but also beat the defending champion Spain and the South American Red Devils Chile to fight out of the group of death and advance to the round of 16 of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

No matter what happens in the knockout round, this Chinese team has made a historic breakthrough and is definitely worth celebrating for all Chinese!
