For the Chinese team, the schedule may be a little unfair.

Because Argentina and Uruguay can get six days of rest after the quarterfinals, while the Chinese team only has four days.

But even the Chinese media, which has always been fond of promoting pathos, did not list such things as a disadvantage.

Because Long Shute has set the strongest flag:

"Four years ago, I had to leave the second group game because of an unexpected injury.

If it weren't for that injury, I would have made it to the quarterfinals with the Chinese team at least.

Based on the efficiency of two goals per game, I can at least increase my goal tally to 12.

Yes, Colombia owe me at least 6 goals and I will get them back in two days! ”

July 7th.

By the time the quarter-finals between China and Colombia began, the winners had already been decided in the other three matches.

In the duel between the two South American teams, the stronger Argentina still had the last laugh, and although Messi did not score directly, he changed the game with two assists.

On the Uruguayan side, although Suarez scored a goal, his striker partner Cavani missed three opportunities in a row, so angry that Bucktooth Su wanted to bite off Cardazo's head!

The price of failing to seize the opportunity is to be eliminated.

Of course, because this World Cup has had a number of tragedies in a row, compared with before, Uruguay's 1-2 one-goal loss to Argentina is not a "tragedy" at all......

And in the match between Germany and Poland, the situation was just as fierce.

Although Germany and Poland are geographically close to each other, there is also a constant friendship between the people, and there are many relatives between the two teams, such as their assistant coaches Klose and Podolski were born in Poland, and as international players Bayern and Borussia Dortmund have a number of Polish stars - such as Lewandowski, Kuba, Piszczek - for them, the two countries players can be said to have a very close relationship in private.

But the long-standing historical grievances, especially the two world wars, have made the two countries politically never close to each other, and as a war in peacetime, football has become a stage for them to vent their emotions.

As early as the eve of the 2008 European Championship between the two teams, the Polish media published a photo of Polish coach Benhak grabbing the heads of German coach Loew and captain Ballack with both hands, and accompanied by the caption "The German team comes to see you", the intention of insulting and scandalizing is obvious, and the hostile feelings of the two sides can be seen......

Although Poland's overall strength is far from being comparable to Germany's, strength is not everything in a decisive football match.

Poland defended with a tenacious counter-attack and used the few set-pieces to create a couple of threats in front of the German goal.

However, the Germans were arguably the most consistent of the pack and did not let their neighbours take advantage of them too much, with goals from Reuss, Muller, Timo Werner and Boateng setting the score at 4-0.

Lewandowski was certainly one of the best strikers in the world, but with a lack of support in midfield, he struggled to show his courage and could only sit back and watch the team lose to the most reluctant opponents.

The third game ended just an hour before the start of the warm-up for the Chinese team.

If Croatia, which has a bunch of "odds", is still a second-rate team in Europe, then Egypt, which is located at the junction of Asia and Africa, can only be regarded as an out-and-out third-rate team, even in Africa, they are not called a middle and upper team, whether it is the number of stars, or the overall strength, the Plaid Army has a solid advantage.

But the result was hard for Croatia to accept:

They scored three goals in a row in the first half, and the 3-0 score almost killed the suspense, and the fans of Croatia were probably celebrating their national team's entry into the last four.

But...... For the Liverpool players, they were never afraid to be 3-0 down in the first half!

In the second half, Salah scored a hat-trick in six minutes, bringing the two sides back to the same running line, which made all the TV commentators on the broadcast exclaim again and again:

"Worthy of Liverpool's No. 2 thigh!"

The red-eyed Egyptian pharaohs were not willing to let the game go to extra time, as their squad was relatively thin.

God said, "Score a goal."

As a result, Salah scored his fourth goal of the game in the 83rd minute, and he kicked Croatia out of the semi-finals with a super lob shot of more than 30 meters!

4-3, there is also a big reversal in the World Cup!

-

"Our next opponent is Egypt, another big package."

Assistant coach Chang Sheng shook his head.

Jiang Hua also regretted it:

"Don't talk about you, even we don't recognize the main players of the Egyptian team......"

Yang Cheng was a little cautious:

"The opponents in the knockout rounds are too weak, will the players be underestimated? You must know that the opponents in the final are either Argentina or Germany, and they are not at the same level as Egypt at all! ”

Gao Han patted him on the shoulder:

"Lao Yang, you still said that the players underestimate the enemy, and you yourself are very floating, right? The quarter-finals haven't even started and you're already dreaming about the finals? ”

Yang Cheng shrugged his shoulders and looked at several colleagues with a sincere expression:

"Could it be...... Isn't that the truth what I'm talking about? ”

Li Bing, who was not far away, turned his head to look at Gao Hongbo:

"Lao Gao, I think I ...... Colombia and Egypt are no match for us at all! ”

Gao Hongbo puffed up his chest:

"I'm coming to the World Cup, not to show how great I am as a manager, but to show ......

As long as there are these players, even if I don't do anything, even if I sit in the coach's seat with a dog, the Chinese team can sweep the world! ”

Li Bing couldn't help but roll his eyes:

"Lao Gao, on the spirit of sacrifice, Chinese football ...... I'm just going to serve you alone! ”

-

While the coaches chatted, the players were making final preparations.

"Brother Long, the brothers will definitely help you score six goals!"

Chu Zhongtianzheng assured the captain on behalf of the whole team.

Li Huan and Qin Gude said in unison:

"That's right, you're just waiting for our assist!"

Back Monnan also patted his chest:

"Captain, you can rest assured to attack in this game, and it is enough for me to defend and intercept!"

Long Shute was moved in his heart, and he was about to say that he would live up to his expectations, but he heard Chen Yingying unceremoniously patted him on the shoulder:

"You try to score six goals in the first half, and then it's my turn to kill in the second half!"

Long Shute laughed:

"Xiao Chen, don't be too public!

Do you want to experience the horror of not being able to get a single pass for the whole game?

I grabbed the ball, and even I was scared! ”
