Chapter 126: Britain and France? The opponent of the Chinese team in the final
Half of the players in the 1994 champions, Brazil, played in their home league;
In 1998, it dropped to 41% and won the runner-up;
By 2002, it had risen again to 56 per cent.
Since then, the situation has changed completely, and in 2006, only three players played in their home league, making up just 13 per cent of the squad.
In the next few World Cups, it was about the same, 3 in 2010, 4 in 2014, "up to" 17%, and now it is 3.
On the other hand, the Chinese team, except for Lu Zhuhu, all play in the Chinese Super League-
This shows that if football wants to be strong, it must develop its own league! In recent World Cups, which champion team is not strong in the domestic league!
Even the big Chinese Super League is very strong, and the AFC Champions League often falls in front of the final......
Of course, the media was still "blinded" when they came to such a conclusion, according to the actual starting lineup, except for Rong Zhixing, Gao Yu (?? Players in this specific period have basically had the experience of staying abroad or overseas trials, Zhao Junzhe and Wu Chengying are very close to staying abroad, and even the old antique Li Huitang has also played for Batavia Qunli and Arsenal (Arsenal:?? Haha, that's the case in this book, the reality only leaves the foreign too much force)
On this night, the Internet is not destined to be peaceful. Needless to say, the unexpected fiasco on the Brazilian side, the Chinese side was also unexpectedly surprised by this result, even in the past few years under the leadership of Captain Lu, just like the men's basketball team during the Yao Ming period, it can also achieve good results, but it gives people the feeling that they are very lucky, winning or losing are between the first line, even in the case of "tactical victory", they can't win big.
Today's massacre, especially Brazil, which has repeatedly humiliated the national football team, makes the people who sang about Chinese football in the past very embarrassed - just like the original Spring Festival Gala sketch was originally going to satirize the national football team, but the Chinese team won South Korea 3-0 that day, and had to temporarily change the lines and "praise a little".
In China, no matter what the results are, the black national football team has always been a politically correct thing, and basically whoever wins the World Cup will be compared with the national football team - you can compare with Spain, you can compare with Italy, and the national football team with them is a piece of, and it is not good to compare with Japan and South Korea!
Of course, the Brazilian team has the most championships, and in the heart of the "ball blind", Brazil has always been the most powerful, and it is the most used as a knife to ridicule the national football team.
In second- to third-tier cities, due to the lack of the atmosphere of watching the Super League team when they play at home, there are few football venues, and the football atmosphere is not high.
Nowadays, the self-media, which is dominated by gossip, is often used to attack domestic players, Chinese Super League teams, and national teams for the sake of traffic, and is naturally the best target for venting fire. In fact, a large part of these people are not fans, they don't care about the development of domestic football at all, they just know that the black national team is an absolutely politically correct thing.
Many people are almost indistinguishable between national teams and clubs, and even think that domestic professional players are raised by the state and spend taxpayers' money, and the psychology is very unbalanced. Why is the salary of the men's football team so high, and the girls of the women's football team don't know how good their grades are, but they only get a few thousand yuan......
However, the cruel truth is that many projects with a low degree of professionalism need to be subsidized by the income from men's football, which has been well developed in the league, including the Chinese women's football team.
Chinese football, in addition to its poor results, has actually made great contributions to Chinese sports - since the development of modern football in China in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, this has been the case.
Anyway, from tonight onwards, if you want to talk about the Brazilian team about the national football team, you will have to reconsider......
The national team won, for the players, coaches, and fans, it is worth rejoicing, and the exception at this time, except for the "brainless black" in the past, is......
The young man Guo went north......
He couldn't finish his work, but every time after the game of the Chinese team, he had to take on the key task of "live replay", and as soon as he got the script today, his scalp was numb......
What is this......
You can't shoot it at all, right......
Don't say anything else, just talk about how to let this kid Wei Shihao achieve Gao Yu's performance from the back to the front of the show of ten people in a row......
The goal is also more than one over-the-top...... Lao Tzu is no longer playing,!
……
The Chinese team was the first to reach the final, and it is natural to see what the outcome of the other game will ultimately decide. Many would like to see a "Chinese derby" between England and China, although it doesn't seem very realistic.
Of course, Britain is still not afraid of the value, although the French team is so high, but the total value of British players has also reached 800 million+, and it is worth it to have an account book......
At 02:00 a.m. Beijing time on July 12, the semifinals of the World Cup in Russia continued, and the French team faced England at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow.
Earlier, the French team eliminated the host Russia, and it seemed that the people who were happy after the game were not only French, England legend Lineker said on social media:
"Tickets for the semi-finals should be easier to buy now!" After all, the fans of the host country don't care about this game. But the reality is not like this, the competition between the old capitalist empires of Britain and France is naturally a big hot spot, tickets have not become easy to buy at all, and the stadium is full of people.
Well, the old capitalist countries have money.
But if you apply the law of the Chinese team and the Brazilian team in the semifinals, the "law" is not the top. Ligue 1 is certainly far inferior to the Premier League, the first league in the universe, and many of the French players also play in foreign leagues, including the Premier League. In terms of results, Great Britain is particularly dismal.
France have lost only one of their last eight games against England, with five wins and two draws in the remaining seven games. England have won only one of their last seven away games against France in 1997, with one draw and five defeats in the remaining six games.
Of course, Great Britain seems to be at a disadvantage against strong teams right now – if you don't count the Great Britain that swept the universe before 1950.
Well, as long as you count the results of "ancestors have also been broad", England will be able to get it.
This is the 41st meeting between the two sides, after England won 16, drew 5 and lost 9 - fortunately, it was a good thing at the beginning.
Both sides greeted each other warmly before the game, as many of the players had been teammates at the club, with the English fans chanting "God Save the Queen" in support, and the French fans not to be outdone, singing "Marseillaise". Whether it is the momentum or the enthusiasm of the fans, it is better than another China-Pakistan battle.
The line-ups for both sides are:
England use a 352 formation:
Goalkeeper: No.1 Pickford
Defenders: No. 2 Walker, No. 5 Stones, No. 6 Maguire
Midfielders: No. 12 Kieran Trippier, No. 8 Henderson, No. 7 Lingard, No. 20 Alli, No. 18 Ashley Young
Forwards: No. 10 Raheem Sterling, No. 9 Kane
France uses a 4231 formation:
Goalkeeper: No. 1 Lloris
Defenders: No. 2 Pavard, No. 4 Varane, No. 5 Umtiti, No. 21 Lucas Hernandez
Defenders: No. 6 Pogba, No. 13 N'Golo Kante
Midfielders: No. 10 Mbappe, No. 7 Antoine Griezmann, No. 14 Matuidi
Striker: Olivier Giroud as no.9
However, after the start of the game, it was quite a surprise.
In the 5th minute of the opening game, England, who were not favored, got off to a dream start - Sterling crossed from the right side of the front, Alli staggered in the middle of the field and was brought down by Kante, England won a free kick!
I saw Trippier's right-footed free kick shoot directly at the goal, the ball crossed the human wall and hung directly in the corner of the goal, Lloris couldn't reach it!
France 0-1 England!
This is still quite rare for a French team who have taken the lead in every game, and it is true that they are not as quick as England to get into the groove.
Two minutes later, England crossed from the right side of the field, Henderson slotted his right foot through, Sterling cut in at high speed on the right side of the field, and the ball was confiscated by Lloris.
After that, the French team contributed their first attack of the game, in the 11th minute, Matuidi broke the ball from the outside, Pogba picked up the box, Mbappe cushioned the ball - very cleverly, but unfortunately no one at the back post answered in time, and the England defender cleared the ball.
France's mercury attack did not follow as expected, but England continued to threaten the French team with headers.
In the 14th minute, Ashley Young drove a corner from the left side of the field into the box, and Maguire nodded the ball over the crossbar.
In the 16th minute, Kieran Trippier took a corner kick from the right side, and it was Maguire's header from the middle of the penalty area, and the ball deflected off the right post.
England will tend to focus on Maguire or Kier's set-piece cooperation in this game, but the real core Kane is a little "missing", you know, he and Lu Zhuhu are quite fierce in the scorer list, Lu Zhuhu has scored another goal ahead of him, and he must show real skills to fight.
However, Kane's first appearance after more than ten minutes of "stealth" was not lucky, and he was pushed to the ground by Griezmann with the ball in front. However, after that, Pogba's pass was a little big, causing Griezmann to stop the ball and make a mistake, Sterling broke the ball in front of the field, and Kane got a single knife in the penalty area -
Towards the equalization of the land chase tiger and the seventh goal of the individual!
However, his right-footed shot went wide and the referee signalled that Kane was offside......
Bai was excited......
In the 22nd minute, Pogba took a free kick into the penalty area, Giroud was barely saved by Pickford from 10 yards, and Mbappe shot into the net empty, 1-1!
After that, France gradually seized the initiative on the field, even with a header - in the 31st minute, Ashley Young tripped Mbappe, France won a set-piece opportunity in front, Griezmann drove the ball into the box, Giroud flicked the header, the ball almost went in, only slightly wide.
Pogba then passed the ball and Mbappe burst into the right side of the box and fired wide of the near corner, while N'Golo Kante and Paul Pogba fired wide from distance. Scared the British fans in the stands.
Finally, in the 43rd minute, England couldn't resist, and was overtaken by the French team, and the direct pass was intercepted by the French team, Mbappe's shot into the right rib of the penalty area was barely saved by Pickford, but Griezmann shot into the net on the edge of the small penalty area, 2-1! The French players gathered in a corner of the arena to celebrate wildly, as if they had seen the ticket to the final beckoning, and they could go to revenge the Chinese team.
But the English players were also quite cunning and did not want to be left behind - while the French team celebrated, the English players came to the center circle and prepared to kick off. They pushed all the way to the French goal, narrowly missing the door once, much to Lloris' dismay.
The TV camera didn't capture it, but a fan's footage captured the scene.
At the end of the first half, England were behind. Prominent England transfer journalist Duncan Charles retweeted the video and wrote:
'When France celebrated, England kicked off and tried to score? He's really good at creating. ”
Well, England has always been very good at creating, otherwise it wouldn't have been so happy......
At half-time, based on the situation on the pitch, most of them felt that England was out of play, which was also in line with a famous prediction.
Sometimes I have to admire the vast power of the motherland's Chinese characters, and I predicted the World Cup process through homophony:
1/8 finals: Siban is dumb, Agen is stopped, Messi is cut, Ruidian is gone, Billy is lost, Columbi is dumb, Crowdi is dumb;
1/4 finals: Ula is back, Riben is gone, Russia is dead, Rui is lost......
Semi-finals: Ba is out, Inge is rotten
According to this line of thinking, who should be the winner of the next final?
It's really hard to compare this time, because of France and China, they are all "over" in the end!
Although England said that they could still salvage it......
England saved themselves at the start of the second half, leveling the score in the 48th minute, Raheem Sterling burst into the box and fell under Varane's pursuit of defense......
Penalty kick!
Raphael Varane also received a yellow card, Harry Kane took the penalty!
One hit hit, 2-2!
It can only be said that England is really good at using penalty tactics, and Kane is really very stable in penalty kicks.
It's time to catch up with the tiger!
Before that, Raheem Sterling went down in the box under Umtiti and Varane in the defensive team, but the referee refused to award a penalty - you just want Kane to score, think I don't know?
Pogba takes a free-kick into the box and Griezmann heads wide.
After that, Mbappe shook off Professor Yang at high speed and burst into the penalty area, but Pique was responsible for making timely save.
In the 71st minute, N'Golo Kante passed the ball, Mbappe's shot from inside the box hit the crossbar, and Pogba's follow-up shot was made a key block by Stones.
Just when everyone thought that this game might go to extra time, the French team suddenly ushered in a stunner!
In the 78th minute, Pogba passed, and Mbappe shot into the far corner from 12 yards on the right side of the penalty area, 3-2!
In the 93rd minute, Griezmann made a direct pass, and Mbappe's shot from the right side of the penalty area was saved by Pickford, after which the referee blew the final whistle!
It's game over! France eliminated England to advance to the final!
It will once again have a fierce confrontation with the Chinese team, the opponent of the group stage!
It is no surprise that Mbappe was elected the best player of the match, and he was still average before the group stage, but now he is getting better and better, and he is already about to show his edge!
Is world football about to change?
Mbappe also spoke about his performance after the game: "We did it together. I scored the goal, but everyone defended together. The hard work of everyone finally paid off in this game, and we made it to the finals, and we did our job. “
"With 11 hounds on the pitch and the whole game going on, we're going to have the same mentality and shape to win the last game."
"Chinese team, we're coming!"
