With the end of the last quarter-final match of England vs Colombia, the quarterfinals of the World Cup in Russia have been seated one by one, and Uruguay, France, Brazil, Belgium, China, England, Russia, and Croatia have become the contenders for the next stage of the Russian World Cup championship.

Looking at the quarterfinals through the results, we see the theme of "Ragnarok".

Messi at the age of 31, Cristiano Ronaldo at the age of 33, Andres Iniesta at the age of 34, Mascherano at the age of 34, Pepe at the age of 35...... These names are like gods in the world of football, for future generations to look up to. However, now, they can only watch their descendants celebrate wantonly in front of them, leaving the fans with a lonely back.

The gods do not die, but the gods grow old and slowly wither. They couldn't stop dusk after all.

After dusk, there will be an endless night.

And this long night, Dai Zhiwei is like a bright moon, which is even more dazzling and bright under the embellishment of the stars!

China's quarter-final opponent is the "Three Lions" England, who also eliminated their opponents in a penalty shootout, and the match between the two teams will be played at the Samara Stadium in Russia on the evening of July 7.

As the birthplace of modern football, England is the region with the most developed football market and the strongest football economy, and England is also known as the center of professional football in the world, and is a football paradise like Brazil.

England made their mark on the World Cup for the first time in 1954 when they reached the last eight and lost to Uruguay in the quarter-finals; In 1962, England reached the last eight again, losing to future champions Brazil in the quarter-finals; England's best result at the World Cup was the 1966 World Cup on home soil, making history by winning the only World Cup to date.

In this World Cup, England won 3 and lost 1, losing to Belgium, but also entered the top 8 with Belgium.

England finally qualified for the quarter-finals through a penalty shootout, and in these World Cups, England failed to reach the semi-finals, and this time facing a strong Sweden team, England also solved the team's coordination problems. Jordan Henderson took the initiative to woo Pickford, and the two shook hands and worked together for the glory of England.

It is worth mentioning that when the Chinese team was preparing for the second closed training match with the England team, they suddenly got a confidential news from the senior management of the Football Association - the No. 1 head of Huaxia will arrive in Moscow on the 6th and officially begin his state visit to Russia, which will be the seventh visit to Russia since the No. 1 leader took office.

According to the schedule, on the 6th, the No. 1 leader will hold talks with Russian President Vladimir. The next day, the No. 1 leader will go to Samara to watch the quarter-finals between China and England and cheer for Chinese football!

Since hearing the news, the Chinese team has been like a chicken, except for Lippi and other foreign members who are quite calm, Dai Zhiwei, Zheng Zhi and other players have run two points faster in training, nervous and urgent.

After the game, no matter what the result is, the No. 1 leader will meet with the Chinese team in the locker room.

However, Dai Zhiwei preferred that the No. 1 leader would share the joy of promotion with them in the locker room rather than comfort them.

Early in the morning of the game, the Chinese team and the England team announced the starting lineups of the two teams.

Southgate continued to start the last game, Ashley Young returned to play in time with an ankle injury, and Lippi was changed back to the starting role of the first game of the World Cup.

England's starting line-up –

Goalkeeper: Jordan Pickford

Defenders: Walker, Stones, Maguire

Midfielders: Kieran Trippier, Jesse Lingard, Jordan Henderson, Alli, Ashley Young

Forwards: Raheem Sterling, Harry Kane

The starting lineup of the Chinese team——

Goalkeeper: Wang Dalei

Defenders: Li Xuepeng, Feng Xiaoting, Zhang Linpeng, Zhang Chengdong

Waist: Zheng Zhi, Hao Junmin

Midfielders: Yu Hanchao, Wu Xi, Wu Lei

Forward: Dai Zhiwei

For this England team, Dai Zhiwei is really familiar with it, either a Manchester United teammate or a Premier League opponent, and almost every player in the England team has a mobile phone number.

However, friendship is friendship, and he has no waterproof intentions - besides, the strength of the Chinese team itself is not as good as that of the Three Lions.

After the start of the game, the England team that kicked off first did not attack immediately, although the Chinese team's offensive ability was criticized by everyone, but don't forget, they have Dai Zhiwei, the sharpest weapon in world football.

It took more than 10 minutes for England to take the lead in attacking, with Ashley Young taking the ball from Stones at the back, dodging Wu Xi's scramble and passing it to Ali.

Li Xuepeng's somewhat reckless interception failed to put pressure on Ali, Ali deceived him into losing his defensive position with a fake pass, and then went all the way to the Chinese team's penalty area.

Zhang Linpeng quickly stepped forward to make up for the defense, blocking the angle of Ali's kick shot, Ali lightly buckled with his left foot, and quickly followed with his right foot to pass the ball to Kane.

Feng Xiaoting hurriedly grabbed the goal, Kane hurriedly hit the goal, the angle was not grasped well, Wang Dalei easily held the ball in his arms, and then quickly ran to the line of the penalty area, and threw the ball to Wu Xi hard, Wu Xi passed the ball to Dai Zhiwei in front of him as soon as possible.

After four World Cup matches, the speed of the Chinese team's offensive and defensive conversion has approached the world's second-rate level.

Henderson and Dai Zhiwei have fought too many times, and they have long been clearly aware of Dai Zhiwei's horror, and they dare not slack off to press Dai Zhiwei.

Dai Zhiwei ran close to Henderson, his feet changed direction and buttoned and changed, and he turned around at a right angle with a relaxed and freehand hand, and the figure had already passed from the corner of Henderson's eyes and quickly appeared behind him.

Henderson, who was anxious, reached out to grab Dai Zhiwei's jersey, but Dai Zhiwei accelerated at this time.

Henderson was unstable on his footing, and was almost knocked to the ground by Dai Zhiwei's sudden speed.

Dai Zhiwei glanced back and saw that the referee did not blow the whistle, and continued to attack the backfield of the England team.

"This guy is here again!"

Walker, who suffered from Dai Zhiwei in Manchester City, changed his face, stretched out his hand to Stones and pointed at Wu Lei in the penalty area, and he quickly ran to Dai Zhiwei who rushed to the penalty area.

Stones immediately filled in the defensive position that Walker had left and looked at Wu Lei.

Wu Lei did not stay in place, scurrying around in the England team's penalty area, causing chaos in the England team's penalty area.

Although Pickford is still too young for the goalkeeper position, he is not lacking in experience, and he was particularly focused in this game, and his eyes have been on Dai Zhiwei.

At this time, seeing that Dai Zhiwei had approached the penalty area with the ball, he immediately tensed his nerves.

Dai Zhiwei saw Walker running towards him, glanced at the England team's penalty area, turned slightly in the direction of progress, and rushed towards the bottom line.

Walker scolded secretly, turned around and ran to the bottom line, and gradually approached Dai Zhiwei, trying to jam the inside line and prevent him from having a chance to cross with his feet.

Walker's speed is powerful in the Premier League, but compared with Dai Zhiwei, it is still a step behind. Before he could get closer, Dai Zhiwei had already lifted his left-footed pass, and the ball drew an arc just past Walker and flew into the head of Wu Lei in the England team's penalty area.

It's a pity that Wu Lei is the opponent of a British man like Maguire, although Dai Zhiwei's landing point is good, but his sky is completely shrouded by Maguire, and he can only watch the opponent successfully clear the ball with a header again.

So far, the competition between England and China has mainly focused on the midfield.

Another attack by the England team failed, Wang Dalei kicked the ball out, Wu Xi and Ali scrambled together, the ball was pushed by the two, and continued to fly in the air.

Zheng Zhi and Ashley Young scrambled again, and the ball went to the middle of Dai Zhiwei.

Henderson rushed towards Dai Zhiwei with a fierce momentum, and when he was close to Dai Zhiwei, he stopped his pace and jumped to the flying ball first.

Dai Zhiwei was the first to come, first Henderson put the ball to Hao Junmin, and after landing, he ran to the backfield of the England team, Hao Junmin had already sent the ball over again, but Dai Zhiwei was closer to the left.

Henderson scolded frustratedly, opened his thighs and chased Dai Zhiwei, Walker had run out of the penalty area, and Henderson surrounded Dai Zhiwei one after the other.

Wu Lei quickly followed Dai Zhiwei on the side in the middle to rush to the backfield of the England team, just when he ran to the arc of the penalty area, Dai Zhiwei passed the ball with his left foot to a meter in front of him, and at this time Walker and Henderson had just run to Dai Zhiwei's side.

Wu Lei ran two steps tightly, and lifted his right leg to make a violent shot, and the oncoming Stones just wanted to stretch his leg to intercept, and the ball had already flown quickly from his side to the goal.

Pickford's heart tightened, and he suddenly flew to his feet, stretched out his arm to block up, and the ball hit his palm, grazing the crossbar and flying off the line.

The long-range shot sent Pickford out in a cold sweat, and the sound of England fans inhaling neatly was heard from the stands.

Wu Lei's indignant hands on his waist, he has always been a jerking off in this World Cup, just now he had the feeling of shooting, and the angle was very good, but unfortunately it was resolved by Pickford, who was like God.

Although Wu Lei did not score a goal this year, the outside world's evaluation of him was not low, and the value of him in the "Team Daily" was adjusted from 5 million euros before the World Cup to 8 million euros.

Of course, Wu Lei must not be compared with Dai Zhiwei, and the current "Team Daily" estimates Dai Zhiwei's worth of a full 300 million euros, and he deserves to be the first value in world football!

However, even if any local tycoon can come up with 300 million euros, Manchester United's Sandezi will definitely not make a move.

Seeing that England's Walker and Henderson were unable to stop Dai Zhiwei's breakthrough, England fans were nervous and scratched their heads, they had fully appreciated Dai Zhiwei's horror in the Premier League, and no club's defense had ever been able to block this killer!

England coach Gareth Southgate couldn't help frowning, although England's strength is superior to the Chinese team, but if you can't choke Dai Zhiwei's threat, defeat is inevitable.

The previous German and Swiss teams have proven this!

Back on the pitch, Lingard controlled the ball in the midfield, and Wu Xi immediately wrapped up it. Lingard quickly split the side to Ali, who played a ball to Raheem Sterling in front.

Raheem Sterling took the ball and chased after him again.

Li Xuepeng pounced on it, Sterling made a simple bicycle action, shook off Li Xuepeng, who was running quickly and unsteadily, and then lightly buckled his feet, and cut the ball inward into the periphery of the Chinese team's penalty area, without waiting for Zhang Linpeng to make up for it, he had already sent the ball into the feet of Kane in the penalty area.

Feng Xiaoting hurriedly wrapped himself around Kane, but the dance steps of the British top brand were already dancing in front of him, the ball left Kane's feet, and the next moment, it had appeared in Wang Dalei's sight.

Wang Dalei's eyes tightened, and he rushed towards the ball, but he still couldn't prevent the ball from falling into the net.

“goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal！ Fantastic goal! This is our Three Lions! The defenders of the Chinese team are like a stake in front of us! Of course, Raheem Sterling, who assisted Kane, was the biggest contributor to this goal, and his breakthrough played the entire defense of the Chinese team! The England commentator roared excitedly in the commentary camera.

The Chinese team is behind!

The England fans in the stands let out a shaking cheer, the team scored first, and the team scored first in the match against the Chinese team with Dai Zhiwei!

Although this is only the first half, it does not hinder their excitement, you know, although the two teams are similar on the field, but every time they see Dai Zhiwei get the ball, their hearts are always tight, for fear that Dai Zhiwei will score in the next second.

Fortunately, several chances for the Chinese team were wasted, while their Kane did not waste Sterling's assist, what a wonderful thing!

The England team in the stands began to shout the names of the players on the pitch over and over again, thanking every player who fought the pitch for always bringing joy to the fans!

The Chinese fans at the scene held their heads in frustration, and now they were actually scored first by the opponent.

However, they are still not discouraged, because in the most dangerous times of the team, Dai Zhiwei will always step up to help the team tide over the difficulties, and it is only the first half, and there is still a lot of time to turn it around.

Wang Dalei, who made his debut in the World Cup, picked up the ball from the goal in annoyance and kicked it to the midfield.

Dai Zhiwei jumped up in the middle of the field and held the falling football with both hands, and then ran quickly to the center circle.

The game has just started and being down by one goal means nothing.

Lippi stood on the sidelines and watched Dai Zhiwei put the ball on the halfway line, the Chinese team has fallen behind too much in the past five games, and he is not worried.

In fact, the Chinese team has created a miracle at this point, even if the game is lost to the England team, the Chinese team is still the hero of the country when they return home.

It's just that no one wants to wake up from a sweet dream.

So what other options are there besides fighting?
