China's match against Costa Rica was the latest of the four quarterfinals. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This match was supposed to be the least competitive of all - after all, compared to the pinnacle battles between France and Germany, Argentina and Belgium, the two rookie teams outside the top 20 in the world rankings really didn't have much fun.

What's more, although there is Qin Goode, the world's top superstar, but whether it is China or Costa Rica, it is all a group of unknown third-rate players, while Lippi and Pinto are both coaches who started on defense, and the duel between them has set the tone from the beginning.

But when the game was over, the attention of this game was no less than that of the other three games.

The reason for this...... Of course, it's still Qin Gude.

"Another super big four! The Chinese god is in full swing! ”

"Fourteen goals in four games! Fontaine is history! The record belongs to the Chinese! ”

"The fourteenth goal is here! Will the fifteenth goal be late?! ”

"Ronaldo is in danger! Klose is in danger! ”

"Who's the flower? The battle for the top scorer in the World Cup! ”

……

Costa Rica's head coach and players said after the game that the quarterfinals were already a very good result, and they had nothing to say about the result of the defeat to the Chinese team, but this interview will hardly occupy a position the size of a fingernail in the major media, at least in the print newspapers and magazines are Qin Goode and Klose who can break Ronaldo's record as the World Cup top scorer for many years.

The 36-year-old Klose is definitely an out-and-out veteran, and when German coach Loew announced the German squad before the World Cup, even some domestic media questioned why he chose an old guy - you know, the young talents of the German team after 90 are full of talent, and there is no need to bring him to the battlefield.

Much of the media euphemistically expressed the same opinion: while Klose is a good and respectable professional and the closest to Ronaldo's goalscoring record, the youthful German tank doesn't seem to need him too much.

And then...... The silent Klose silenced everyone who questioned him with a lightning goal.

It was Germany's second game of the group stage, and they faced African side Ghana.

The German tank, with a strikerless lineup, completely controlled the tempo, but Ghana, who had their backs to the ground, were completely unfazed and even more efficient in attack. In the 51st minute, the German team was led by the teenager Gotze, but the Ghana team then scored two goals in 10 minutes to make the score 2-1, and the German team was pushed to the edge of the cliff in an instant.

They had 65 per cent of the possession and twice as many passes as their opponents, but they had half as many shots on goal!

The Spanish commentator's assessment may have reflected the embarrassment of the German team: "They thought they were Spain or Barcelona!" They thought they had learned our technique, they thought they could pass the ball to the goal, but they forgot how long it took Spain's golden generation to form a tacit understanding! The Germans should go and fight their high-altitude bombing! ”

When the clock ticked into the 70th minute, Loew patted Klose on the back and pushed the 36-year-old onto the battlefield.

Just a minute and a half later, Klose snatched the back of the net!

A draw allowed the German team to qualify safely, and a goal also allowed Klose to tie Ronaldo's record of 15 World Cup goals, for a while, countless words full of feelings sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and countless eyes were also on Klose, countless pairs of eyes wanted to witness whether he could break Ronaldo's record, and even Ronaldo himself was interviewed about this issue.

But Klose was silent, and he didn't get much of a chance to play in the games that followed: he was only a substitute in the third round of the group stage and the quarter-finals of the quarter-finals, only starting in the quarter-finals against France, but he didn't score again.

So everyone shook their heads and sighed again, and countless experts began to study again: why didn't Klose score again?

Then someone said: The German team has long been accustomed to the tactical play without a fixed center, and the presence of Klose will make Muller, Gotze, Schurrle, Ozil, and other attackers who like to move freely be fixed in a more uncomfortable position, so that the whole team lacks enough offensive firepower......

What these people don't know is...... The loudest slap in the face of this World Cup is coming.

-

In the "Feast of the Wealthy" program on July 7, the list of the top four appeared on the big screen behind the host Zhang Bin.

"This World Cup has reached the semi-finals, and the four teams that remain on this stage are......

hosts, Samba Army, Brazil;

favourites, Deutsche Chariots, Germany;

The favorite, the Pampas Eagles, Argentina;

And...... The biggest dark horse of this World Cup, the Chinese team! ”

"Before the World Cup, head coach Lippi and team captain Qin Gude both said that the goal of the Chinese team is to keep eight and fight for four, and now this goal has been achieved," the hostess Liu Yuxi is wearing an Argentine blue and white sword stripe shirt today, with wide stripes faintly setting off the delicate figure below, "But I believe that all fans hope that the national football team can go further." ”

Special guest Nangong Lei looked at another special guest: "Zhang Zhi, what the world is discussing now is not which team can win the World Cup, but who can break Ronaldo's 15-goal record between Qin Gude and Klose, what do you think?" ”

"Hehe," Zhang Lu smiled, "Things like scoring goals can't be packed in the first place, goals in the World Cup are even more unattainable, whether it's Klose or Qin Goode, they are very good players, no matter who breaks Ronaldo's record, it's the progress of modern football, I won't be surprised." ”

Nangong Lei laughed: "Is Zhang Zhi saving character for idols again?" ”

"Hehe," Zhang Lu waved his hand, "low-key, low-key." ”

The four teams on the big screen unknowingly form two groups.

"According to the schedule, the two semi-finals will be played two days after tomorrow, the first is Brazil vs. Germany, and the second is the Chinese team against Argentina," Zhang Bin turned slightly sideways, so that the audience could see the matchup map clearly, "Two coaches, comment on them separately?" ”

Nangong Lei took a look at the old-timers who were still accumulating character, and first opened his mouth: "The game has reached the semi-finals, and both of them are focus matchups, and they are both exciting games that are rare to watch."

Brazil and Germany are undoubtedly the pinnacle of football skills and tactics. It is undeniable that the stars of this year's five-star Brazil team have been slightly dimmed, with Kaka and Ronaldinho not being selected in the squad, while new captain Neymar withdrew due to injury, and defensive stalwart Thiago Silva was unable to play due to suspension, all of which cast a shadow over Brazil's promotion.

Germany, on the other hand, may have been influenced by Pep Guardiola at Bayern, Loew also intended to change to possession in the past two years, but perhaps orange born in Huainan is orange, born in Huaibei is orange, German players do not seem to be so comfortable with the tactical play of control flow, at least their performance and dominance are far from the peak level of Spain during 2008-2012, they seem to be a little stumbling in the qualification process of the group stage and the knockout round, and they have a very serious shortcoming like Spain... … They don't have a super scoring point.

So, the match between Brazil and Germany is very interesting. As for the game of the Chinese team, please come on, right? ”

"Hey, okay." Zhang Lu was disrespectful and took over the task that he couldn't ask for - maybe he was more worried that Nangong Lei would lose his hard-earned character.

"The match between Argentina and China is known as the pinnacle matchup between two superstars, Messi and Qin Goode, but I would say that it is very unfair to Goode because the overall level of Argentina and China is obviously not at the same level.

In the past, it was often said that Messi was both a father and a mother in the national team, and he said that his teammates CBA and the king of the ball could not be moved, anyway, it meant that Argentina's teammates dragged Messi's hind legs, and I was not happy when I heard it......"

Zhang Lu raised his head slightly, and his smile seemed to be bitter: "At least this sentence should not be given in front of the Chinese team." ”

Yes, in terms of being both a father and a mother, in front of Qin Goode, Messi and Ronaldo are rubbish.

On dragging his feet and pig teammates, in front of the Chinese team, Argentina and Portugal players...... Each of them is a superstar!
