Chapter 38: Miscalculation?
Yesterday, Lao Bing was not updated, and the reason ...... Hehe, Zichuan has been updated, oops, 60,000 words, the old pig finally crawled out of the coffin, and I saw Lao Bing, which was both cool and unpleasant - the cool thing was that it was updated, and the unhappy thing was that there were too few updates, so I was depressed, and I read Zichuan from beginning to end, hehe, forgive me......
----------------
The veteran Baggio's bravery saved Italy, they are the same as Mexico, they are two wins in two games, and in goal difference, Italy has one more than Mexico, that is to say, in the last game, Italy can draw to qualify for the first place in the group, so as to avoid the Chinese team as much as possible.
There is no need to introduce the Group H match, where the Netherlands came out on top, beating Russia 2-0 and already securing their right to qualify from the group.
So far, the teams that have reached the round of 16 are France, Spain, Brazil, China, Germany, Italy, Mexico and the Netherlands.
The teams that have been eliminated are Uruguay, Slovenia, Peru, Poland, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Ecuador and Tunisia.
17th World Cup, group stage, final round!
The race for life and death has officially begun!
France, who have already qualified for the tournament, did not let their guard down in this game, with Pires coming on for Darnay, Trezeguet and Wiltord coming on for Thierry Henry and Nicolas Anelka.
Zinedine Zidane did not play from start to finish, sitting on the bench watching his soon-to-be-retired teammate Laudrup Jr. score two goals, Juventus' Serie A goalscorer Trezeguet and substitute Thierry Henry scored a goal each, and France and Denmark shook hands.
In the other match played at the same time, Senegal and Uruguay drew 3-3, so that France won the group with six points and Denmark finished second with five points.
Although the Senegalese failed, but as a team participating in the World Cup for the first time, their performance is obvious to all, but unfortunately for various reasons, their dream of dark horses has been shattered, but players such as Diouf and other outstanding performances have attracted the attention of many big European clubs, and with this World Cup, they are accepted by the world.
Group B.
Spain defeated South Africa 3-2 to win all three games, scoring three goals in each game to top the group.
The South Africans' defeat disqualified them from competing against Paraguay, who beat a disheartened Slovenia 3-0 to finish second in the group.
Group C.
Brazil faced Costa Rica in the final game, and the representative team of Central and North America did not show weakness in the face of the world's strongest team, but the difference in strength was too great, and finally lost 2:5, Ronaldo scored two goals, and also improved his goals in the scorer list to five.
People are exclaiming, this is a crazy World Cup, this is a World Cup of shooters!
Ling Feng, who scored seven goals in two games, and Ronaldo, who scored five goals in three games!
This is, the battle for the shooter king!
Group D, China vs Portugal.
When the starting list of the Chinese team came out, all the reporters were wide-eyed.
The Chinese team is an absolutely main lineup!
Except for Ding Rui, who was injured and was not in the starting list, including Ling Feng, Hao Haidong, Yue Lingxiang and others, all of them were sent out to play!
In fact, Ling Feng was also very distressed before the game.
For the sake of friends, he naturally hopes that Portugal can go further, but the basic quality of a player is to try to win every game, even if it is an unimportant game, otherwise, it will be unfair to the other teams!
What's more, is this game really not important?
It's a very rare opportunity to play against a world powerhouse like Portugal, and it's still a Portugal full of fighting spirit!
Moreover, recalculated, if Portugal wins this game, then they will have the same six points as the Chinese team, but in terms of the relationship between winners and losers, Portugal is the first in the group!
Regardless of the fact that the Chinese team has nine goal difference, the relationship between victory and defeat is there, if Portugal wins, it will be Portugal's first place in the group.
To put it mildly, that is with Figo, Rui. Costa's friendship, to put it mildly, is to add exciting games to the fans, Ling Feng hopes that Portugal can qualify.
But if Portugal is sure to qualify from the group, then they must beat the Chinese team!
If there is a draw, then they will have four points with one win, one draw and one loss, and the Polish team, which has conceded a total of ten goals in the first two games, is really hard to believe that they can beat the United States, even if they are also drawn, then the United States is also four points, and Portugal will be eliminated because of the relationship between winning and losing.
Figo and Rui. Costa is both 30 years old this year, and four years later, Figo is still playing for the team. Costa has left the opportunity to the youngsters, which means that this World Cup is Costa's first and last World Cup match!
As a friend, or a good brother who has fought together, Ling Feng naturally didn't want his only World Cup to end in regret.
The 02 World Cup has changed a lot now, the French team under the leadership of Zinedine Zidane showed the strength of the last champion, Italy did not lose to Croatia, Baggio's savior should be able to make them the first place in the group, the addition of the Dutch team is equally exciting, and Argentina led by Lao Ma is undoubtedly the favorite to win this World Cup......
In short, the dark days of history are gone, the music of "Argentina Don't Cry for Me" should not sound prematurely, and Portugal should also change their fate, although they will meet a strong Italian team after the second group - but don't you think, Portugal against Italy, isn't it a pleasant thing?
But now, I can only take one step at a time, I still have to do my best, and I will never be soft if I can win, but at least, I can't fail!
When exchanging team flags, Ling Feng and Figo hugged warmly, which made the fans feel that it would be a wonderful game, but it should not be a hand-to-hand fight.
Both teams are technical teams, with Portugal ranked second in the best attack, best defense and best control in some authoritative media, while China ranked fourth.
As many expected before the game, the battle between the two teams in the midfield was particularly fierce in this game!
The same team with midfield control as the main tactic, also has a strong and almost luxurious midfielder, the former Portuguese golden generation, now the rising sun of China's golden generation, what sparks will be sparked in the clash between the two? !
It can be seen that although the two sides have possession for roughly equal time, China is still higher than their opponents in terms of creating a threat to attack.
Portugal lack good strikers.
Ling Feng and Figo are very similar in style now, both of them are organizing attacks while being ready to insert assists or score goals at any time.
But Pauletta's performance at the World Cup was really not good.
Pauletta is an excellent striker, but Hao Haidong is not worse than him after training, coupled with the state factor of the two, it is obvious that Portugal's offensive ability is much worse than that of the Chinese team.
In the opening 20 minutes, the Chinese team had four shots on goal, twice within the range of the goal frame, and one of them even hit the goal post and went out of the bottom line.
Portugal had just two shots on goal, with Figo's shot flying over the crossbar and Pauletta's header on the scoresheet. Costa's brilliant pass is wasted.
Poor Pauletta, in fact, his strength is not bad, judging by the goals in the league, Pauleta is definitely the first striker in Portugal.
It's a pity that in the World Cup, he seems to be a different person - like the Polish team in the qualifiers.
In the first half of the game, there were not many threatening shots on goal on both sides, which can be said to be more than intense and not exciting, after all, the football game is mainly about goals, both sides are beautiful in possession, but they are both because they pay too much attention to ball control, which leads to some constraints on offense.
But just as the first half was about to end, the unexpected happened.
Hao Haidong picked up the ball in the penalty area, and Kuto behind him gently bumped him while defending - this would have been a very reasonable defensive move, and in the game, especially at a high level, this kind of behavior of using the physical advantage to jam the opponent's position is very common.
Even Hao Haidong himself didn't realize that the opponent was a foul, but immediately adjusted the movement of his body and protected the ball again.
If it weren't for what happened next, this little collision would have been remembered at all like the usual game, but then, the referee blew the whistle.
At the moment when the referee blew the whistle, Hao Haidong even thought that he had committed a foul!
The referee's decision in the penalty area can be said to be strict to the point of harshness, because once the defender is fouled, it is a penalty, which is equivalent to giving the attacker a chance to score!
And it is also commonplace to rush into fouls in the attack, so Hao Haidong was stunned for a moment and let the ball go out of the bottom line.
It can be said that at the moment when the referee did not raise his hand, everyone thought that Hao Haidong had fouled.
But before the whistle fell, people watched the referee run all the way to the penalty spot in the penalty area, a very clean and neat hand shake action, and the finger pointed to the penalty!
At this moment, not only the Portuguese players, but even the Chinese players were blinded!
Why did the referee award a penalty to himself for no reason?!
The Portuguese players struggled to accept this fact, and even captain Figo rushed up to reason with the referee at this time - and Figo received a yellow card.
The other Portuguese players hurriedly pulled Figo away, and Ling Feng also walked up to the referee curiously at this time, put on a very innocent face and asked, "They didn't foul just now, right?" ”
Referee Angel from Uruguay. Sanchez glanced at Ling Feng, that means, aren't you typical of being cheap and good?
Seeing the Portuguese players staring at him angrily one by one, Ling Feng's heart was full of grievances, he couldn't blame himself, the referee misjudged...... Wait, the referee misjudged?
Ling Feng squinted at Sanchez, who was copying the names of the card-eaters on the paper, and a chill suddenly passed through his heart.
Could it be that someone made him do this?!
Fools know that if the Chinese team loses in this game, it is very likely that they will meet the world's top powerhouse Italy in the quarterfinals!
This is China's territory, and it should have been thought of a long time ago!
Ling Feng turned to Zhu Guanglu on the side, but when he saw that his face was full of joy, and he was still celebrating with the substitute players, he suddenly understood in his heart.
I'm afraid that even Zhu Guanglu has bypassed these things.
Go directly to the referee, there's no need to let yourself know.
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, it is really a miscalculation.
But this is the World Cup, and the referees are all world-class, how can he easily give a penalty for such a ball?!
Even if China is the host and there are a lot of spectators present, it won't make the referee confused for a while, right?!
"What are they when I am?" Ling Feng pinched his waist and sneered, he didn't want this kind of victory, he didn't want the Chinese team and the South Korean team to get a ranking, and as a result, he was despised by the whole world.
Winning the championship depends on strength, not such a conspiracy!
The Chinese team's penalty kick must have been taken by Ling Feng, who wanted to see him break Fontaine's world record of 13 goals in a World Cup.
Ling Feng stood in front of the ball, looking at Baiya, who was staring at him, and made a decision in his heart.
The referee's whistle sounded, Ling Feng ran and shot!
The ball goes over the crossbar!
The fans of the Chinese team erupted into a neat sigh, Ling Feng, Ling Feng didn't even score a penalty?!
In Ling Feng's seven-year career, he has only failed to score a penalty once, and that was in the UEFA Cup against Inter Milan in Hamburg, a last-minute penalty.
But that penalty kick was also scored by Ling Feng, that is, it was still scored.
But in this World Cup, Ling Feng didn't score this penalty?!
Ling Feng walked back a little frustrated, and when he passed by Sanchez's side, he whispered something in English that only the two of them could hear: "Don't release the water......"
