Chapter 45: Senior, I've Got You an Italian Cannon! (2nd Update)
At 23 o'clock in the evening of June 22, another match in the second round of Group D, which is "no longer" closely related to the Chinese team, was played against Iceland. The two sides exchanged blanks in the first half, Yu Yang, Zhang Linpeng's "old acquaintance" Musa scored two goals in the second half for Nigeria to take the lead, and then the Iceland team got a penalty opportunity, but unfortunately Sigurdsson missed, Iceland cool. At the end of the game, Nigeria beat Iceland 2-0 and scored all three points.
After this round of matches, Croatia is firmly at the top of Group D with 6 points, Nigeria is close behind with 3 points, Iceland is third, Argentina is only 1 point at the bottom, and the coolest thing is it.
If it weren't for Lu Zhuhu's stubble, Chinese fans would have paid close attention to the Group D match, and also supported the elimination of Argentina and Iceland. The Chinese team would prefer to play Croatia or Nigeria.
Not to mention Argentina, Iceland is tall, physically advantageous, and its technology seems to be better than that of the big country, so it is reasonable for Greater China, with a population of 1.4 billion, to be afraid of Iceland with 300,000 people.
Now it seems that Croatia is in a hot state, and it is not a very good choice, let the Chinese team choose, the Chinese team can only "reluctantly" choose the African Eagles, after all, they are the first opponent of the Chinese team in the last World Cup, and it looks like they can play two legs.
Alas! Considering all of this now seems too far away, let's hope that the big country will seek more blessings for itself!
The second game of Group E at two o'clock in the night received little attention in China, with the magical play and goals of midfield engine Xhaka and "Swiss Messi" Shaqiri, the Swiss team finally defeated Serbia 2:1 after falling behind by one goal soon after. Costa Rica have lost both games and are out of the tournament. Brazil and Switzerland both have one win and one draw, and are tied on four points. Serbia has one win and one loss, accumulating 3 points. This group of several teams is waiting to see the situation of the German team on the other side, and if they want to avoid Germany in the final round, they still have to do some maneuvers. (It didn't work in the end.) )
June 23rd.
The Chinese team devoted themselves to the preparation for the Peruvian team, except for Lu Zhuhu, who was recovering from injury, and all of them sweated on the training ground. If you don't fight this one, you are destined to not be able to wait for the return of Lu Zhuhu, and you will definitely have to go home early. With the victory over France as a foundation, it will not be particularly faceless to go home, but Chinese players are not without pursuit of honor, especially young people who have not won decent awards.
As on many occasions, no one in the team has played against Peru except for the Tigers. It's just that Lu Zhuhu's combat experience is still an old calendar, and the Chinese team also lost to the Peruvians, and it still relied on the "video" complaint to make the Peruvians abstain and go home - that may be the prototype of the use of "VAR" technology in the history of world football - "Lu Poyu" deserves to be the "father of contemporary football" haha!
Today is different from the past, the current Peruvian team is no longer the strong team in Lu Zhuhu's image at that time, it is not too much to say that it is the belly of the fish in South America, it has not appeared in the World Cup for 36 years, and it has not scored a goal in the first two games, which is even worse than the Chinese team.
The only "positive" point is that Japan just beat Colombia 2-1 on the evening of June 19, and an Asian team beat a South American team for the first time, breaking the curse of history. It's just that there is no land chasing tigers, the Chinese team and the Japanese team are not the same level teams at all, and they can't comfort themselves with Peru's inferior strength to Colombia.
Even if it is not the World Cup, the experience of Asia's victory over South America in other games is only the king of warm-up matches, the Chinese team has won Argentina a few times, Japan has won Argentina once, and Argentina has only a few games. (Argentina: Lao Tzu has a grudge against you?) )
The Peruvian team focused on the speed of the two wings in the first two games, which is very similar to Chinese football in the "heyday", but Lippi now does not have a strong explosive player, and it is unrealistic to use personal ability to score goals like Lu Zhuhu in the first two games, so the players can only be required to strengthen physical training and use all their strength to get opportunities in the game.
When watching his teammates train, Lu Zhuhu couldn't help but shake his head again and again, before going abroad, the strategy of the Chinese team was to lose to France, strive to win Denmark and draw Peru, but the current situation requires that the final round must be won, and the offensive formation is too weak, and he can even imagine that Wu Lei's "weak" body will roll around under the Peruvian rude foul three days later. Old Xiao Zhi? I don't know how much energy there will be at that time.
No wonder China has been criticizing, and even Lu Zhuhu wants to mention it to the old man of the silver fox in person:
For Mao not to take Gao Lin? For Mao not to take Gao Lin? For Mao not to take Gao Lin?
Regret not? Regret not? Regret not?
If you regret it, you will eat it-
Uh, it's another one......
What kind of offensive formation and forward combination Lippi will arrange in the final battle is not clear from the current training content, and Lu Zhuhu went back to rest early when he saw the halfway in order to maintain the health of his heart. Although Lu Zhuhu is now being kept in captivity like a giant panda, he is still very active on the domestic screen, and new advertisements are emerging one after another. For example, the advertisement of Lu Zhuhu "Not Born Mighty" launched by Mengwu Milk followed the trend and added new content - the reason why the catastrophe did not die was because after drinking Mengwu Milk, it replenished sufficient calcium, and the bones were so hard that the knife could not penetrate it.
However, because the advertisement hurt the feelings of Lu Zhuhu's fans, and did not increase Lu Zhuhu's advertising fee, it was taken down before the protest did not arrive a day......
The background of the "Young Assassin" was also all eight out in two days, after all, his father Wang, as a generation of gambling kings, finally committed suicide because of the failure to block the ball, and many people remember the news. The young man has an extreme idea, thinking that the assassination of Lu Zhuhu is "avenging his father", which seems understandable. It's just that there are still many doubts about this vicious case, the origin of the murder weapon, the family of the young man surnamed Wang has obviously gone bankrupt in debt four years ago, and he relies on relatives to help him get by, where did he get the money to live in a luxury hotel in Russia and buy tickets with the best location in the stands...... It's not that simple.
What's even more bizarre is that the boy also bought the sports lottery ticket between China and France before coming to Russia, because in the end it was a big upset, and countless people were recruited, but the boy surnamed Wang seemed to be sure that the Chinese team would win, and he would make a small profit - people can see his father's style back then.
Lu Zhuhu also received an invitation from the Russian police to confront the murderer, but he did not go. Since he is in no big trouble for the time being, the murderer will not be able to run away for a while, he still wants to focus on the World Cup, and wait for the dust to settle (the Chinese team is out), and then deal with this very headache.
In the Group G group stage in Moscow on the same day, Belgium won 5-2 against Tunisia to get another big victory. Later, in the match between Group F South Korea and Mexico, Son Heung-min and Sun Qiuwang appeared again, but their luck was still not good. Mexico sealed the win thanks to Vela's penalty in the first half and Hernandez's counter-attack in the second half. Elenno, a Mexican-American girl watching the game, could only witness her old father put on a hot stripping show again.
In stoppage time, Son scored a goal for South Korea with a long-range shot, proving that he was indeed more than one step ahead of his other teammates in the South Korean team, but it had no impact on the overall situation.
In the end, Mexico defeated South Korea 2-1.
Lu Zhuhu recuperated from his injury, lying on the hotel bed and watching the full game of his rivals, thinking about it and feeling very fortunate - Son Heung-min's goal was almost the same as his first goal for the French team, but it is conceivable that there will still be Korean fans throwing rotten eggs at him after Son Heung-min returns home. In contrast, it is still the fans of my country's football team who are the most tolerant.
Scolding and scolding, biological and chemical weapons are generally not used......
While pondering, Guo Bei called:
"Senior, the biological weapon you wanted, ah no, the 'Italian cannon', I sent you ......"
Lu Zhuhu turned over and got up, the boss of the momentum.
Damn, is the hanging of this World Cup finally coming?!
