Chapter 430: There Are No Ifs in the World
"Time is running out for Mexico!"
Huang Jianxiang was a little happy, for many years, he said this sentence "There is not much time left for the Chinese team, and now, it is given to the opponent, Mexico is behind, and the Chinese team is leading 2:1." ”
"If the Chinese team wins the game, they will qualify one round ahead of schedule, and next, their opponents may be Brazil or Switzerland, but the current situation of Brazil's group is still unclear, Brazil and Sweden are both tied on 4 points, I don't know who is the top of the group? If Brazil finish second in the group, it will be a good ......"
Huang Jianxiang imagined that if the Brazilian team is not the first team in the group, and the Chinese team is the second team in the group, then the Chinese team can avoid Brazil?
Then Germany, the first team in the group, is going to do it with Brazil in advance, and the semi-finals of the last World Cup will appear again, but neither Brazil nor Germany is willing to meet in advance, how tragic is this?
"Hey, Lippi has changed,"
"Wu Xi replaced Hao Junmin, which means that Lippi will continue to strengthen his defense."
Wu Xi has dual abilities of defense and offense, but unlike Zheng Zhi, Wu Xi's offense is a forward attack, characterized by shooting, and does not belong to Zheng Zhi's straight assist.
Replaced by Wu Xi, the intention of removing Hao Junmin is quite obvious, that is, to strengthen the defense.
Now there are three backs on the field, only Cao Yunding, Wei Shihao and Wang Dalong in front, and Cao Yunding and Wang Dalong are also shrinking very close, in fact, only Wei Shihao is in front, and the defensive formation has shrunk more compactly.
At this time, Lippi only has the tactic of placing a bus, as long as he keeps the score, he can successfully qualify.
The Mexican coach saw Lippi's move, and he could only continue to make moves, and the Chinese team retreated, and he had to boldly add another striker.
Losing one is losing, losing two is also losing, and there is no need to think about conceding any more goals.
There were less than twenty minutes left for them.
But there is more than one problem for the Mexican manager, as Mexico's fitness has also dropped significantly. There are too many veteran players in the team, the average age is too large, don't look at the number of people left in the front court of the Chinese team is only three.
Cao Yunding's speed is fast, Wei Shihao is young and powerful, Wang Dalong is a demon, once these three people rush up, they can continue to create danger.
Wang Dalong has always been a big problem in Mexico.
Wherever he appeared, they felt that he was very dangerous.
Alas!
Even the Mexican coach himself felt that God would not favor Mexico at all.
He's done his best, and he's left to his fate.
Now, the Mexicans are pressing the Chinese team to play, but the Chinese team's big penalty area is full of heads, and it is not so easy to find opportunities at all.
Except for Wei Shihao, Wang Dalong and Cao Yunding are all involved in defense, and there is no difference between other defenders.
The point is that Wang Dalong is not a vase defensively.
The interception of Dos Santos' ball just now is a good proof of this.
Gradually,
Mexico's offensive has actually weakened?
There is no way, they simply can't think of any other good way to crack the goal of the Chinese team.
"Ten minutes to go."
Huang Jianxiang kept reminding.
"Keep going, especially the defenders, and be sure to guard against the first drop and don't let the opponent grab the ball."
"If you grab the ball, get it out of the way immediately without the slightest hesitation."
"The defense against Hernandez must not be taken lightly!"
Another five minutes passed, and there was really less and less time left for Mexico.
The victory is further closer to the Chinese team.
"Dig the slot, there are still five minutes left, and the Chinese team is about to qualify!"
"Dig a slot, dig a slot, dig a slot."
In the stands, the Chinese fans looked very excited, like a dream, not real at all.
This time, my heart is particularly steady.
Although the Chinese team is now being pressed and beaten by the Mexican team, there is no such panic feeling......
They believe that the Chinese team will definitely win.
"Ninety minutes of regular time is over, three minutes of stoppage time, the last three minutes, hold on!" Huang Jianxiang stood up.
Mexico no longer has any elaborate tactics, all of them are from the wings.
However, their strikers are watched so hard that they don't have any chances at all, and the penalty area is full of heads, densely packed, and it will not be so easy to find space to shoot.
Their hero, Hernandez, seemed to have disappeared, and since that goal, there has been no performance, as if one goal had consumed all his abilities.
hero
Where are you?
Mexicans are calling out their heroes.
But
Over time,
He seems to have disappeared faster than the Mexican team.
"Less than a minute left!"
“……”
"The Mexicans got a corner."
"This should be their last chance to attack, absolutely no more."
"Mark, find someone to watch, don't miss a single Mexican player."
Even goalkeeper Ochoa rushed up.
At the last moment, there is no point in guarding the goal, so it is better to rush up and gamble.
However, Ochoa's height is only 1.85 meters, which does not have any advantage, and it can only be said that there is one more player competing for the header.
The big penalty area was a mess and packed with almost all the players.
Only one Mexican player stood outside the big penalty area.
It's up to you to win or lose.
Dos Santos takes a corner kick and the quality is quite good.
The ball raced towards the middle of the penalty area.
Almost everyone jumped.
In an instant, people in the big forbidden area turned on their backs.
Ochoa really got the ball, but he and Zhang Linpeng took one side!
Didn't quite grab it.
The ball bounces high!
However, after Zhang Linpeng landed, he didn't jump again, but Ochoa jumped!
As a goalkeeper, it's a primitive instinctive reaction!
Because they are always going to make a second save after the first save.
Apparently Ochoa did just that!
He's got the ball!
In such a situation, he can still calmly push the ball back.
"Fuck me!" Wang Dalong could see it clearly.
That ball!
Specially,
Flew to the feet of Hernandez!
"Dangerous!"
"Ahh Almost everyone in the audience was screaming.
Hernandez came out of the crowd like a gloomy wind.
He didn't stop the ball, just stretched out his left foot and lightly paddled it!
There was no one to stop him from shooting.
When Feng Xiaoting rushed over and stretched his legs, the ball had already flown towards the goal.
"Ahh
BI!
The referee's whistle was so timely!
The ball is in!
"Countdown...... Equalize ............" Huang Jianxiang was stunned on the spot, speechless at all.
It hurts so much!
Pain!
Pain!
Pain!
It took him a long time to regain a little strength,
Then, anger burned.
He began to look for the culprit.
"It's okay to let Ochoa hit anything, why don't you take a fancy to him!"
"They all said they were going to target Hernandez, and let him score again!"
"Feng Xiaoting and Zhang Linpeng can be pulled and shot, what's the use!"
"Why didn't there be a second scramble immediately after the first scramble! Why can Ochoa do it, Zhang Linpeng can't do it, why Feng Xiaoting relaxed his defense against Hernandez in the back! “
"Amateur! It's so amateurish! “
Weng –
Whether it is the scene or the Chinese fans in front of the TV, it feels dark at the moment.
Just a dozen seconds away, the Chinese team can qualify ahead of schedule.
However, it was this last defense that buried the good future of the Chinese team. Want to qualify? I'm going to have to ask the German team!
Bibibi!
The referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and it was still a 2:2 draw after all.
The hero does not belong to Wang Dalong, but to Hernandez.
It seems that Wang Dalong lost the most undeserved victory in the entire 2018 season.
The goal conceded at the last moment was too bitter.
Although a draw is not the end of the world, no one can accept ending the game in this way.
Alas!
Wang Dalong shook his head, he didn't know what to say, and he didn't want to say anything.
I'm so tired!
The Mexicans were already celebrating wildly, and everyone rushed into the stadium and threw Hernandez high into the air.
One point, just make them so crazy.
After all, keeping one point means keeping the hope of qualifying, and there is no difference between one point and three points.
Football is what makes people crazy.
"Accidentally losing two points is too undeserved for the Chinese team, and the next group stage final round against Germany can't lose by a big score, if you lose too much, it is very likely to lose the right to qualify. The match between Germany and Sweden was over before that, with them beating Sweden 2-0 and Sweden eliminated early. Mexico is still our only opponent, and a draw between the two sides means that if Mexico wins Sweden in the third round and China loses to Germany, then they will have to fight China for goals and goal difference. “
"Although China now has five goals and Mexico only two, who knows what will happen in the third round? Just like this year's Champions League, it looks terrifying, and it is not surprising if Mexico plays 4-0. “
The rules for qualifying for the group stage of the World Cup are as follows:
a. The one with the highest score is ranked high
b. The player with the highest total goal difference in the group is ranked high
c. The player with the highest total number of goals in the group is ranked high
If there are still two or more teams tied according to the above rules, they will be compared in the following order to determine the ranking order:
d. Compare the goal difference between the tied teams. If it is still equal, then:
e. Compare the win-loss relationship between the tied teams. If it is still equal, then:
f. Compare the total number of goals scored between tied teams. If it is still equal, then:
g. FIFA organizes the lottery to decide.
The top two teams from each group qualify for the knockout stage. Of these, the last two matches of each group must be kicked off at the same time.
So, in fact, it is not as exaggerated as Huang Jianxiang said, Mexico does not necessarily need to play Sweden 4:0 to have any hope.
Maybe 1:0 will do.
Because the first thing to compete is the total goal difference!
If the Chinese team loses to Germany, then really everything will happen.
So
Lippi went berserk at the press conference.
He knew that the Chinese team had fallen into a whirlpool of unpredictable futures.
If the German team bloodbathes the Chinese team, then the Chinese team will say goodbye to the World Cup.
"I snooze for the last ten seconds!"
"I really don't know what they think, they can't concentrate for just a dozen seconds. They may still not quite know what a dozen seconds mean. ”
"But do I need to reassert this?"
"The next game against Germany is going to be a do-or-die battle for us, Sweden are eliminated, they will definitely fight for glory, or they don't want to ...... anything"
The Chinese team has already gone to the initiative, and it depends on Sweden's face.
The Swedes have a good face for the Chinese, and if the first leg is like this, they will definitely not want to see the Chinese team qualify, and it is not surprising to do something out of the ordinary.
On the contrary, they do not have any hatred with Mexico......
It's not like the World Series hasn't had a tacit game......
Of course, the Chinese team only needs a draw to qualify, but playing Germany for a draw?
People all over the world won't believe it!
"Can the Chinese team draw with the German team?"
Chinese media soon conducted a questionnaire online.
"I don't believe it." Ninety-nine percent of the fans who chose this answer reached the point.
Even the team has Wang Dalong, and they don't believe that the Chinese team can draw the German team. In front of the powerful German tanks, the Chinese team was nothing.
The German team is too strong! It is impossible to defeat at all, they can easily crush the Chinese team, it depends on how much combat power they have to play.
For Mexico, the Chinese team only has a goal difference advantage of three goals for the time being.
Three goal difference, not insurance at all.
Because once Germany wins against China and Mexico wins against Sweden, then this advantage is likely to become one!
"It's all about blaming Zhang Linpeng and Feng Xiaoting!"
"Two fools!"
Zhang Linpeng and Feng Xiaoting must have become sinners, and it is impossible to escape the fate of being scolded.
Unless the Chinese team finally qualifys, it may be scolded by all Chinese fans in this life.
It's not a league, it's a World Cup! It's not surprising that you're saddled with an ageless reputation.
Spinach also immediately adjusted the odds of the Chinese team qualifying, and the odds tripled directly compared with before, which means that the Chinese team is less and less optimistic about qualifying.
Sometimes, some mistakes are fatal.
If Zhang Linpeng could have jumped one more time, he might not have let Ochoa hit the ball again.
If Feng Xiaoting could continue to keep an eye on Hernandez, then there would not be this goal.
It's a pity that there are no ifs in the world.
Only the result,
As a result, the Chinese team, which was supposed to qualify early, needed to fight a life-and-death battle with the German team, and the fate was still in the hands of the Germans and the Swedes.
Moreover, the situation is quite not optimistic! There is a good chance that we will say goodbye to the World Cup......
