Chapter 235: The Lion and the Elephant Fight the Rabbit, All with All Their Strength (Part II)

The Chinese team defeated the German team 1:0, and Dai Zhiwei's magical performance made fans all over the world crazy. For his performance, the media around the world made comments as soon as possible after the game, and "magical" became the most common adjective!

British BBC: Super Dai Zhiwei sinks Germany!

The Guardian: "Germany shredded by Dai Zhiwei's goal! ”

Daily Mail: "Magician Dai Zhiwei scored all four goals, including one of the greatest goals in football history (don't try it at home, be careful of falling on your back)!" ”

The Sun: "Dai Zhiwei's magic made Loew's team's efforts in the 90 minutes completely useless! ”

Sky Sports: "Wearing an attack, there is no suspense about this year's Ballon d'Or! ”

The Telegraph: "Dai Zhiwei show! ”

ESPN: "Dai Zhiwei flashed, Germany lost. ”

Reuters: "The highly creative Dai Zhiwei beat Germany, and the World Cup curse continues!" ”

Spanish newspaper Marca: "Super Dai Zhiwei scored a super goal and stole the limelight from Messi and Ronaldo. ”

World Sports News: "Super Dai Zhiwei!"

French "Team Daily": "Dai Zhiwei killed, Manchester United striker created a miracle." ”

Germany's "Bild": "Dai Zhiwei contributed to the top ten candidates! ”

Italy's "Milan Sports Newspaper": "Sharp weapon Dai Zhiwei buries Germany!" ”

Dutch "International Football": "Magician Dai Zhiwei thinks more and helps the Chinese team to reach the round of 16!" ”

Huaxia People's Network: "Dai Zhiwei scored a historic goal in the World Cup, worthy of the pride of the country!" ”

For Dai Zhiwei's goal, football celebrities are also full of praise, and the proudest thing is the praise from the "hostile forces".

"He actually shot there! It was definitely the most beautiful goal I've ever seen in my life and I will always remember this game! After Dai Zhiwei scored, former German coach Jurgen Klinsmann sighed.

Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard, who is Manchester United's sworn enemy, said: "Sometimes, you have to admit that somebody has special abilities, he's a world-class player with world-class skills. It was the best goal I've ever seen, the best goal I've seen before went to Wayne Rooney. This goal is very special, more than 40 meters away, only a few players can do it, and Dai Zhiwei is this special player. I have to congratulate him, it's the most outstanding solo performance I've ever seen! ”

Even Loew couldn't help but applaud Dai Zhiwei's amazing move, "99.9% of the players would not choose to shoot like this in this area, they would not even think so!" It's almost 50 meters away from the goal, Dai Zhiwei is too domineering and confident! ”

For their own children, of course, Huaxia sports people are not stingy with praise, Huang Jianxiang said: "Beautiful, too beautiful." Dai Zhiwei is divine! The goal was selected as one of the top 10 goals of the year, and Neuer helped Dai Zhiwei, who was so clever that the goal eclipsed the defending champions. No one could have imagined that he would do this, his skills were superb. This goal will be broadcast in the media all over the world! ”

Recalling the goal, Dai Zhiwei said after the game: "When I saw Manuel Neuer rushing out of the penalty area, I decided to hit the empty goal. I was still on the ground when the ball flew towards the goal, and when I turned around, the ball had already gone in. It's the perfect combination of luck and technology. It was the goal I enjoyed the most! ”

This game, for the Chinese team, is fantastic, incredible, and proud, but for the German team, it is tantamount to a bolt from the blue!

The German team was finally knocked out by the Chinese team when they had to score three points, becoming the 14th team to be eliminated from the World Cup.

In the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, defending champion Italy lost to Slovakia in the third round and was eliminated; In the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, defending champion Spain lost two games in a row, and although they won against Australia in the third round, they were still eliminated. This year, Germany seems to be in the same predicament, and even ESPN in the United States can't help but post: "Is it a championship curse?" And said "unbelievable" and accompanied by the German team's player's head-hugging movement.

Compared to the unfortunate German team, the lucky Brazilian team did not miss the ticket to the round of 16, beating Serbia 2-0 to advance. Before the match, Fox Sports, a local Brazilian team, posted a series of "hahahahaha" on Facebook and Twitter as soon as they heard that the German team was losing, which received 17,000 likes and 100,000 retweets respectively.

It seems that Brazil still remembers being kicked 7:1 by the German team in the last World Cup!

The Chinese team won the upset, and Mexican netizens praised "China and Mexico are friendly!" ”

and Mexican netizens posted: "I suddenly fell in love with Dai Zhiwei and Lippi!" And attached the legendary "China-Mexico Friendship" flag.

After the German team lost 0:1 to the Chinese team, in addition to the Mexican fans who were already crazy with joy, the England fans were probably going crazy.

So, how much enmity and resentment are there between England and Germany?

Don't worry, the British "Sun" on June 28 has listed it all for you, and the taunt skills are fully opened.

The cover image reads: "Schadenfreude" (Schadenfreude), a noun derived from the German word meaning to base one's own happiness on the misery of others.

"The Sun" posted the World Cup Group F standings in the sports section, especially marking the German team at the bottom of the group, and drawing a dotted line to the standings: "Cut it out and save it, and take it out when you are lost can make you laugh." ”

What's worse is that the England fans, who don't think much of it to watch the excitement, also took out the "Lampard goal-line tragedy" of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa when the German fans were wailing, and said that the revenge has been avenged.

Coincidentally, it's all June 27th.

After the match between China and Germany, Group F ushered in the finale - Mexico against Sweden.

In the first half, Sweden had more chances, but Marcus Berry missed a series of good chances to give the Vikings the lead.

In the second half, the situation changed abruptly, and the Swedish team won 2 consecutive cities by Augustinsson and Granqvist, and Alvarez presented an own gift!

In the end, the Swedish team broke out in the second half and defeated the Mexican team 3:0!

In this way, after three rounds of battles, the Chinese team in Group F won the first place in the group with 1 win, 2 draws and 5 points, the Swedish team and Mexico have the same record - 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss and 4 points, the Swedish team was able to enter the World Cup round of 16 with the Chinese team with a goal difference, while the defending champion Germany team ranked last in the group with 1 win and 2 losses and 3 points, and was eliminated together with the Mexican team!

One day later, the group stage of the World Cup in Russia finally ended successfully yesterday, and the teams that qualified from each group have also been decided.

Group A: Uruguay won all three games, did not concede a goal, and won the group with a perfect record. The host Russia, on the other hand, rotated some of the main players in the final round to ensure qualification, and finally lost 0:3 to Uruguay, with two games and one loss, scoring 8 goals and conceding 4 goals, and the second group appeared with Uruguay. However, looking at the relative weakness of the other teams in Group A, Uruguay's real challenge against the hosts may have only just begun in the knockout stages.

Group B: Portugal and Spain did not qualify until they drew with Iran and Morocco in the final round of the group stage. Spain topped the group by one more goal than Portugal. The Portugal vs Spain match in the first round of Group B can be said to be the most heart-wrenching group stage of this World Cup. In this typical one-man match against one team, Portugal relied on Cristiano Ronaldo's hat-trick to draw 3-3 with Spain in the final moments.

Group C: As the seeded team of Group C, the French team did not encounter any resistance in the group stage, and played a 0:0 match with the Danish team in the final round of the game, and the two sides drew and finally both advanced, the French team won the group with 2 wins and 1 draw and 7 points, and Denmark ranked second in the group with 1 win and 2 draws and 5 points.

Group D: The most eye-catching performance in Group D is Croatia, with three wins in three games, scoring 7 goals and conceding only 1 goal, ranking first in the group with 9 points. There was also a 3-0 win over Argentina.

The most disappointing is Argentina, as a seeded team in Group D, Argentina was forced to draw 1:1 by Iceland in the first round, and Croatia was 0:3 in the second round, and was almost eliminated. It wasn't until the final round that they defeated Nigeria 2:1 and Croatia helped Iceland succeed in sniping Iceland to qualify second in the group.

The most regrettable thing about Group D is Iceland, a team sent by a small country with a population of only 330,000 and some amateur players in it, played their spirit in this World Cup, and the kind of hard work and not giving up made people see the culture and hope of Icelandic football.

Group E: Brazil got off to a bad start and finished first in the group with 7 points from 2 wins and 1 draw. Switzerland won the group second with 1 win and 2 draws, and the Swiss team will also be the opponent of the Chinese team in the quarterfinals!

Group G: There is really no suspense in this group, England and Belgium are the strongest teams in the group. After four big wins in two rounds, both accumulated 6 points and locked the right to qualify early. In the final round of the game to decide the second place in the group, the two sides rotated a total of 17 substitutes, and in the end, Belgium beat England 1-0 to win the group.

Group H: Poland, as a seeded team in the group, played abnormally in this World Cup, losing two games and losing two games, and was the first to go out. Japan, on the other hand, were unlucky in the first round against Colombia, winning a ruby card plus a penalty in the opening six minutes. The whole game was 11 and 10, and finally won 2:1 against Colombia. After that, in the second round against Senegal, they fell behind twice and tied twice, and finally drew 2:2 with Senegal and won the initiative to qualify from the group. However, in the final round of the group stage against Poland, the Japanese team played the most ugly game of this World Cup, and after falling behind 0:1, they actually gave up the attack and fell in the backfield, and played the game in the face of boos from the audience. Putting the hope of advancing on someone else's body, Colombia defeated Senegal 3-0 on the other side of the group, Japan and Senegal had four points, and with exactly the same goal and win, Japan became second in the group with a slight advantage of two fewer yellow cards and advanced to the knockout round.

On July 3, the Chinese team will play the knockout round of the World Cup with the Swiss team.

The Chinese team led by Dai Zhiwei has eliminated too many strong teams along the way, and the Swiss team, as the top ten team in the world, will they be the next target of the Chinese team?

The Swiss team is currently ranked 6th in the FIFA rankings, with a total value of 218 million euros, an average age of 27.2 players, an average of 39 appearances for the national team, and an average of 4.5 goals scored by the national team.

Among them, Shaqiri, the core player of the Swiss team who participated in the World Cup in Russia, scored 1 goal, 1 assist, 6 threatening passes, and ran an average distance of 9,210 meters per game.

Switzerland had 35 shots in the three group stage matches, 45 of which were on target, 10 in the middle, nine on the wing, and nine in individual contributions.

In general, the Swiss team's frontcourt attack is diverse, "can be side-to-middle", and the combination of side-to-center is the characteristic of this team.

The Swiss team and the Chinese team have the same tactical design, that is, they are mainly defensive counterattacks, so both teams will line up heavy troops in the midfield and backfield, wait for the opponent to attack when seizing the gap left by their backfield, and create opportunities for the ball behind the opponent's back line with long passes or high-speed cooperation of 2 to 3 players in the front court, forming a situation of playing more and less to threaten the opponent's goal.

But when two teams that focus on defense and counter-attack meet, the game will be very boring, just like two chippers in a table tennis match, no one will take the initiative to attack.

The outside world is also very unanimous, that is, although this game has Dai Zhiwei, who is the top scorer in this World Cup, this game is likely to be the "most boring" game in the knockout stage of the World Cup in Russia.

However, the Swiss team's backline lost Lichtsteiner and Schell, which is good news for the Chinese team. There will be a lack of tacit understanding among the new replacements, and this will also be a hidden danger for the Swiss team, and if the Chinese team seizes this opportunity to attack, the game may develop in a different direction.

However, the Chinese team's defense is also a big problem, including Feng Xiaoting, Zhang Linpeng, Zhang Chengdong and many other defensive backbones will be suspended due to accumulation of yellow cards, and the main lineup is even more incomplete.

Of these two teams, the most famous player is Dai Zhiwei. In the group stage, he scored all five goals for the Chinese team and helped the team successfully reach the round of 16.

Against the Swiss team this time, the outside world unanimously believes that he will play the key man again, and his performance is also related to the success or failure of the team.

The most interesting thing about the two teams is that in the warm-up match half a month before the start of the World Cup, the two teams had played each other, and the Chinese team and the Swiss team played a 0:0 draw in that game.

However, in this knockout round, the winner must be decided, and there is no possibility of a handshake.

As the saying goes: you die or I die!
