Chapter 55: A Last Fight!

Time flies, and after the brutal conditions of the group stage, the round of 16 has also opened.

On June 30, the first match of the quarterfinals began.

France vs Argentina.

Two teams, one is a European powerhouse and the other is a South American powerhouse!

The collision of these two world-class teams is destined to create fierce sparks.

The match was as expected by the crowd, and it was a goal shootout.

France and Argentina are scoring crazy goals.

France scored four goals and Argentina scored three, and in the end, Argentina lost the game to France and left the World Cup stage.

This game was called 'Messi's death' by many.

In this game, they saw the cruel reality that the once invincible Messi was pulled away from his position at the first start.

Many people also call Messi old.

Kylian Mbappe was the biggest beneficiary, and he once again showed his speed in this game, disturbing the Argentine backline.

Argentina managed to reach the round of 16, but they were met by France.

Messi's departure is destined to be a regret for the World Cup, but the winner is defeated, France won the game, no matter how unfortunate it is, Argentina has no hope of staying in Russia.

After Messi's departure, more eyes were on Portugal, one of the peerless duo.

The next day, Uruguay vs Portugal.

Before the game, many people thought that Portugal could win the game, but the situation was very different.

Just seven minutes into the game, Edinson Cavani scored a goal to lay the foundation for Uruguay's victory.

Portugal then counter-attacked, and on 55 minutes of the second half, Guerrero assisted Pepe for the equaliser.

But just seven minutes after the equaliser, Edinson Cavani was in explosive form and scored twice.

So far, Uruguay 2:1 Portugal.

This is also the final score of the game!

Portugal was eliminated.

Following Messi's departure, Ronaldo also embarked on the footsteps of returning home.

The departure of the peerless duo has taken a glimmer of luster out of the World Cup, and fans are more worried that the big stars will leave the World Cup one after another.

After Ronaldo and Messi left, the most well-known are undoubtedly Neymar and Yile.

There is nothing wrong with the Samba Army being a strong team, but Brazil's performance this year has been unsatisfactory, and Neymar has been out of balance in the abuse, and his performance in the last few games has not been satisfactory.

As for Yile, it's even harder.

The overall strength of the Chinese team is a big question.

Many people are saying that this Chinese team has the best engine in the world, but the overall structure cannot carry high-power operation.

Their opponent is Sweden.

Sweden are also mid-table in the round of 16, but even so, it will be difficult for China to win against them.

Amid all the talk, the game continues.

Russia upset Spain as the hosts upset the Matadors in a penalty shoot-out.

Croatia is holding on steadily, while Switzerland has no choice but to leave.

Brazil comfortably defeated Mexico to advance to the last eight.

At this point, the competition came to the fourth day.

The matches on this day are Belgium vs. Japan at 2 p.m. and Sweden vs. China at 10 p.m.

Both Asian teams are crowded on the day.

For many, China and Japan are the last cards in Asia, but they are also likely to make it to the top eight.

Sure enough, in the noon game, Japan fought hard for 90 minutes, and finally lost to Belgium 2:3, and De Bruyne led Belgium to the top 8.

The result was not unexpected, but the process was an eye-opener for many.

Belgium, who are known as the favourites to win the title, suffered a waterloo in the first half.

Japan scored two goals in quick succession in the first half to take a 2-0 lead.

However, Belgium made adjustments and scored two goals in five minutes to equalise before completing the comeback in stoppage time.

Japan lost, but many were amazed at the technical and tactical level that Japan showed in this match.

After Japan's departure, only China was left as the Asian team.

And they will play at 10 p.m. against a strong Sweden.

Japan's departure had a great impact on Chinese fans, and a sense of gain and loss began to surge.

Many people say it's okay if they lose, but they know in their hearts that they want to win.

The Chinese team is not a strong team in football!

and even fell into a trough for a while.

They know it's going to be a tough game, but even if it's hard, they're going to grit their teeth.

The Chinese media likened this game to a 'fight against the odds'!

There is no way back for them!

With a cliff in the rear, they can only choose to move forward!

......

"CCTV Channel 5! CCTV Channel 5! Here is the scene of the second match of the fourth round of the quarterfinals of the 2018 World Cup in Russia, Sweden VS China, I am the commentator Duan Xuan! ”

Duan Xuan's voice was unprecedentedly solemn.

When they came to the scene to comment, he could feel the extremely oppressive atmosphere in the stadium.

Whether it's Swedish fans or Chinese fans!

They all know what this game represents.

If you lose, you go home!

The single-round robin World Cup is so cruel that there is no chance of making mistakes!

The camera has been pointed to the players' tunnel,

The expressions of the players of both teams were serious.

Everyone was not smiling, and many were closing their eyes as if they were praying.

The camera stays on each player's face for a moment from front to back, and finally the finale is left to Yi Le.

Chinese Commentary Desk!

"Yile's injury has always been a concern for us, but he still chose to fight in this game, and we can only hope that his injury is not so bad. It was a historic moment to get through a brutal group stage and reach the round of 16, but the game continues, the battle continues, and we know that only the winner will stay in this arena! ”

"Please remember the 22-year-old boy who has been telling us for the last three games that he is so trustworthy. And in this game, we will still firmly trust him! He is a super midfielder who belongs to China, and he is the undoubted midfield brain of the Chinese team! ”
