Chapter 0127 02 World Cup
"it!" Zhuo Cunzhi looked at the TV and couldn't help shouting.
On May 31, 2002, the XVII World Cup officially began, and the first game was the group stage between France and Senegal.
In the previous 1998 World Cup and Euro 2000, the French team won the championship, which can be said to be in the limelight.
Zinedine Zidane, Thierry, Trezeguet, Makellele, Vieira, Thuram......
If Bayern now has ten stars, then the French team has ten superstars!
Sadly, Zidane suffered a left thigh strain against South Korea on May 26 and was unable to play in the group stage.
Without Zidane, France would still be a star-studded team, and it would be easy to play against a Senegalese team.
Then France lost 0-1......
What's even worse is still to come, the second game of the French team Uruguay, Uruguay is not a strong team, and then the French team drew 0:0......
Zidane can't sit still, the whole French people are going to roar, he must turn the tide with his injured leg! Then France lost 0-2 to Denmark......
The defending champion, who has not won one of the three games and is eliminated in the group stage, is also rare.
France are in Group A of the group stage, while the other favourite, Brazil, are in Group C.
When it comes to Group C, Zhuo Cunzhi's family is more interested in the Chinese national team.
It is said that the Chinese media previously put forward a strategy of "one win, one draw and one loss", trying to break through Group C, a group with only one strong team.
It is also appropriate to win against Costa Rica, draw with Turkey, and then lose to Brazil, and accumulate four points to enter the knockout round!
Then, he lost 0:2 to Costa Rica, 0:4 to Brazil, and 0:3 to Turkey, losing all three games and not scoring a goal!
The Huaguo team finally saw itself clearly, and the world also saw Huaguo football clearly.
On the other hand, Zida was unhappy in his heart. Youfigo was not much more happy.
Now Portugal is in the golden generation, he Figo is an epoch-making winger who has developed a style of play, Rui Costa is a world-class midfielder, one of the four central midfielders, Paulo. Sosa, Ligue 1 player of the year......
In the eyes of the Portuguese, this Portugal is even stronger than Eusebio's Portugal!
They are more than qualified to compete for the World Cup title!
They were then eliminated in the group stage of Group D......
Compared with Zidane's depression, Figo is more aggrieved, because in the last group game, the opponent won the disgraceful, this opponent is called the origin of the universe.
If you take a look at the Group E game, the Chinese people may not be so angry and aggrieved.
Because Saudi Arabia, whose strength is not under China, was killed 8:0 by Germany.
The Germans have always been merciless, and the German tanks have once again proved that they are able to steadily crush the weak team into dogs.
Upset? Inexistent!
There are also highlights in Group F, heartthrob Xiaobei once again faces actor Simeone, England faces Argentina again, vowing to avenge the hatred of 98 years.
Beckham, who has matured and become stronger, deceived the Argentine goalkeeper with a feint, successfully scored a penalty, and successfully atoned for the sin of impulsiveness in 98.
South Korea and Japan are the hosts of this World Cup, and both teams managed to break through the group stage.
Japan's luck was better, as they faced Belgium, Tunisia and Russia in the group stage, and in the end, Japan won two and drew one, and advanced to the knockout stage with the first place in the group!
The Great Cosmic Origin Empire also managed to break out of the group of Poland, Portugal, and the United States.
Of course, Figo has reason to be unhappy with this result.
In the subsequent knockout rounds, the biggest highlight is the Great Universe Origin Empire.
It should be said that their highlights are so dazzling that they overshadow the brilliance of other teams.
Even if the god-level performance of Ballack and Kahn led the weak Germany all the way, even if the Brazilian 3R combination played amazingly and entered the final, it was overshadowed by the Great Universe Origin Empire.
In the quarterfinals against Italy, Vieri, the strongest super center, was violated again and again and fell to the ground, and every single chance was not even a foul blow, and only a sound of offside lingered in his ears.
As a result, Super Bobo could only show a helpless expression.
Zheng Mengjun, the leader of the Origin of the Universe Football Association, and Blatter, the leader of FIFA, talked and laughed in the private room, and the so-called justice was really just a joke.
When the game was near the end, Wolves Totti was violated and fell in the penalty area, and when all the fans were expecting a penalty, Moreno, the referee named Moreno, gave Wolves a second yellow card for faking a fall.
Maldini was very bitter in his heart, as a legend of a generation, he was forced to score a header by An Jung-hwan, an unknown guy.
But no one blames him, because they are facing the Empire of Cosmic Origin, and Italy is doomed.
In the quarter-finals, the Spanish team, which was about to face the Universe Empire, was decisive, and they chose to keep their mouths shut, tie their hands, and do nothing but kick.
Unfortunately, their opponents do everything but kick the ball.
If every goal can be blown offside, how can a game be won?
Prince Raul couldn't think of an answer, Morientes could only kneel on the ground in pain, and Hierro, Casillas, and Puyol could only watch.
When Germany faced South Korea in the semi-finals, football emperor Beckenbauer personally called FIFA and successfully replaced the referee that FIFA had prepared at the beginning.
In the end, Germany managed to reach the World Cup final.
To be honest, this year's German team is not good, there are only two people in the whole team, Ballack and Kahn, who can stand firmly at the level of superstars.
To add insult to injury, Ballack, who scored three goals and four assists in the previous six games and was the only superstar in Germany's non-goalkeeper position, dragged the German team to the final, had to sacrifice himself because he was hindered in front of the Great Universe Origin Empire.
In the end, Germany won the whole universe, but Ballack had to miss the final due to suspension.
Rivaldo, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Cafu, Carlos, Lucio, Dida......
Don't count the injured Emerson, don't count the still growing Kaka and Adriano, the Brazilian squad is scary enough.
Especially the 3R combination composed of Rivaldo, Ronaldo and Ronaldinho in the midfield, there is a kind of spirit to block and kill gods!
Karn could only hold on to the stormy attacks one by one, and he looked at the back line in front of him.
Metzelde, Link, Schneider, LaMelo ......
Yes, in the Bundesliga they are all star-level figures, but in the World Cup, what are they?
Who can help him?
Karn decided to rely on himself, and it wasn't difficult for him to make this decision, as he had only one choice.
In front of the world, the alien Ronaldo scored twice in the contest against Kahn.
Seeing this young man show his rabbit teeth again and smile happily, all football people were moved!
He used to be the idol of the whole football world!
On the other side, Zhuo Cunzhi sat in front of the TV and inadvertently swept Carlos's figure.
Inexplicably, he felt that Carlos was a pity.
In this year, he has been a semi-core of club and national team, and has also won the Champions League and the World Cup at the same time, and no one can achieve better results and performances than him.
It's just that in the club, Zidane, who has not performed well for most of the season, proved his existence with a kick out of the sky, and Ronaldo, who was injured for almost the entire season, was reborn in the World Cup and scored a full eight goals!
No matter how good Carlos is and how good he is, he is just a full-back.
Beckenbauer won the World Cup and the Champions League as the absolute core in 1974, and only finished second in the Ballon d'Or.
He lost to Cruyff, who played beautifully but sadly, very sadly.
And Carlos, presumably, is no exception.
It's a shame......
