In the first game of the World Cup semifinals, the Chinese team relied on Dong Fangzhuo's hat trick and Zheng Zhi's goal to eliminate Belgium 4:2 to advance to the final. Global media commented that the Chinese team did not play wonderful offensive football, but the iron-blooded army was the division that competed for the championship of the competition.

Team Newspaper: Making history

After 4 years, the Chinese team reached the World Cup final again. China made history by reaching the World Cup final for the second time since 2014.

French media commented that the Chinese team's victory relied on an ugly, conservative, but very solid style of play. Media comment: "Can you count how many people in the Chinese team took the initiative to retreat and hold on?" Can you count how many attacking passes the Chinese team cleared in their own box? Can you count how many counterattack opportunities the Chinese team gave up in order to consume game time after the score was ahead? The Chinese team did not show the best offensive level in the 90 minutes, especially in the opening stage. But they locked up the space and made Lukaku vaporize......"

Post: This game has contributed a lot

British media comment: This is a game that is highly anticipated by the world, and the two sides also contributed a wonderful offensive and defensive battle to determine a place in the World Cup final.

The British media still pointed out: "This wonderful sports battle offensive and defensive, more exciting and enterprising football game." Belgium lost very unjustly, leading one person for more than ten minutes, but there was no way to score, but the Chinese team scored another goal. ”

Belgian Die Zeitung: A fatalistic failure

"Just like in the 1986 World Cup, the Red Devils reached the last four of the World Cup again, but lost the semi-finals again," the Belgian media noted. In 1986, the Belgian team performed well but met the unstoppable Argentine magician Diego Maradona. This time, the Chinese team did not have Maradona, but he had a solid defense and Dong Fangzhuo, who was as good as Maradona, and beat Belgium".

The Belgian media is optimistic about the Chinese team's eventual victory: the Chinese team won the championship in Brazil in 2014, and this time they reached the final of the World Cup, marking a new peak cycle for the Chinese team.

Italian newspaper "Milan Sport": Magicians lose to the army

The Italian media sighed: Magician, lost to the Iron Army. The commentary noted: "Martinez is the best tactical wizard at the World Cup, but this night belongs to Dong Fangzhuo. Dong Fangzhuo killed an extremely complicated match, as China eliminated Belgium, and it looked like they were very close to winning the World Cup again since 2014. ”

The Italian media also believes that the Chinese team is not a talented team, but an army: "The Spanish coach of Belgium tried his best, but failed to stop Dong Fangzhuo's iron-blooded army. Dong's team has not really been able to show their attacking talent to this day, but they have been able to knock out one big team after another at the World Cup. Such a Chinese team is not a team suitable for the striker players to play, but it is enough for them to knock out three strong teams in a row to reach the final, because only one Dong Fangzhuo is enough, as long as he stands on the court, China is the biggest favorite. ”

Reims Sport: The king of the ball decides everything.

Dong Fangzhuo has undoubtedly become the third ball king.

The Brazilian media did not particularly care about the game itself, but emphasized: with Brazil, Argentina, Germany, Spain and many other teams out, the heat of the World Cup is fading at a high speed. In the stadium in St. Petersburg, there are many Chinese and Belgian fans. This is perhaps the World Cup that Russia needs the most.

Argentine newspaper Ole: On the importance of the king of the ball

What Messi couldn't do, Dong Fangzhuo did it again, because he was the king of the ball, and Messi was not. This is the sadness of Argentina and Messi.

Messi is lying down, in front of Dong Fangzhuo, he is an uncompetitive child......

Of course, there is no need to ask Messi to be so harsh, after all, Messi is just a human, he is not a god, Dong Fangzhuo is, how can you compare people with gods?

The Argentine media finally commented: It's time for us to give up on Messi, he is 31 years old, it is impossible to surprise us again, and he has never surprised us.
