After sweeping Costa Rica 4:0, facing the host Qatar, the Chinese team still showed no mercy and won 3:0. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At this point, the group stage is also over, although the England team also won the last two rounds of the group stage, but due to the disadvantage of goal difference, they can only give up the first place in the group to Huaxia. And Qatar also fell into the "host curse", after losing to Costa Rica 0:2, England 0:4, and China 0:3, ending their World Cup journey happily. I have to say that their experience is quite similar to that of Huaxia in 2002.

The first opponent of the Chinese team in the knockout stage is Croatia, which is the second in Group B.

When it comes to the Croatian national team, three people have to be mentioned, central midfielders Imari and Lukas, and striker Marion. The absolute core of the Croatian national team of these three people, currently playing for Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich respectively, are also the main players of the three clubs, in addition to Lucas is a master player, Imari and Marion are also senior professional players, or the average attribute is higher.

But the interesting thing is that the Croatian national team has not been able to find a fourth high-level player other than these three, and even the average of other players, only the level of intermediate professional players. It is precisely because of the serious unevenness in the level of the team that Croatia has not achieved dazzling results in major international competitions, and the current best result is only the quarterfinals of the European Championship, and in the previous World Cups, they have never walked out of the first round of the knockout round.

This time, too, they failed to break through history.

In the face of Croatia, which is extremely strong in attack and weak in defense, Wang Shuai resolutely started an offensive battle with the opponent. In order to suppress the opponent's offensive, Zhou Aniu also adhered to his defensive duties in this game and never crossed the middle line.

Therefore, although the two sides are fighting against each other, the offensive efficiency of the Chinese team is far higher than that of the other party, because Croatia's defensive strength is too poor.

4:1, the Chinese team took another step in the World Cup.

easily broke into the quarterfinals, but there were not many smiles on the faces of all Chinese fans, because the opponent of the Chinese team in the next round was the famous Samba Army, Brazil.

……

"What the...... I can't kick it! Wang Shuai looked at the player information of the Brazilian team in the system and burst into foul language.

Juniels, a striker, currently plays for Barcelona and is a master player.

Doug, a winger, currently plays for Bayern Munich and is a master player.

Thiago, a midfielder, currently plays for Paris Saint-Germain and is a master player.

Fernando, a full-back, currently plays for Tottenham Hotspur and is a master player.

Philippe, a full-back, currently plays for Real Madrid and is a master player.

There are five master players, not to mention that the other players are also high-level professional players, or the kind with high attributes, such strength is in front of him, Wang Shuai feels that no matter how he arranges his troops, there is only one final outcome, that is, kneeling.

Wang Shuai knows that the Brazilian national team, or the football atmosphere in Brazil, is all about attacking, and the Samba Army is also the most attacking national team in the world. But Brazil have an Achilles' heel and a poor defence, as evidenced by the fact that they were beaten into a sieve by German tanks at the World Cup eight years ago.

Against this kind of team, a defensive counter-attack happens to be a weapon to restrain them, as the previous German team did.

But there is a premise for this, that is, the team's defensive counterattack must be able to defend against the opponent's attack. The German team can do it, but the Chinese team is far behind, even if Wang Shuai stays in the middle and back for the whole time.

And if the defensive counterattack is not good, there is only one way to fight against the other party, in fact, this is also Wang Shuai's plan. But Wang Shuai also knew that there was actually no way to attack, because whether it was offensive or defensive, the Huaxia team and Samba Juntun were too far apart.

Brazil defensively is fine, but that's only relative to their attack. Just look at their lineup, the defenders are all senior professional players, although this level is nothing in the world's top teams, but in front of the current Huaxia team, it is really a difficult fortress to overcome.

Don't look at the England team with a master midfielder, the Chinese team can still score two goals, that is because England's attack is far inferior to Brazil, and the Chinese team can naturally put more energy into attacking.

But in this game against Brazil, if the Chinese team still does this, the final score will ...... Gee!

Therefore, although Wang Shuai decided to fight against the attack, he was also entangled in one problem, that is, Zhou Aniu's arrangement.

Don't let him participate in the attack, the team's offensive firepower is not enough, let him participate, the defense is a big problem. Yes, Zhou Aniu's speed has reached the average level, but it is only a senior professional player, or the average level of a senior professional midfielder, compared with several master midfielders in Brazil, Zhou Aniu is still as slow as a snail.

After thinking about it, Wang Shuai didn't think about it anymore.

Just let Zhou Aniu adapt to the situation, because no matter how Wang Shuai chooses, there is only one final outcome, and that is to lose.

……

Appalling.

That's the situation in this match between China and Brazil.

In the first half alone, the Huaxia team was beaten to 1:3, and the offensive firepower of the Samba Army was too fierce.

This also made Wang Shuai have to sigh, it seems that in that game twenty years ago, don't look at Brazil won by four goals, maybe they still let the water go. You must know that the Chinese team 20 years ago, the lineup was far less "luxurious" than today, and the level of the Brazilian team has never changed, and now it can be played 3:1 in the first half, but it was only 4:0 20 years ago.

Although he was ready to lose, Wang Shuai also came to the game with the idea of losing, but it really came to this extent, and his heart was really uncomfortable.

"Wang Shuai," after returning to the locker room at halftime, head coach Lu Chang stopped Wang Shuai: "Don't think too much, you can play how you want, it doesn't matter how much you lose, we have broken through history." This is the quarterfinals, and we may be able to move forward next time. You know, you're only 24 years old now. ”

Hearing Lu Chang's words, Wang Shuai's face finally improved a little. Because what Lu Chang said is right, he is only 24 years old this year, and Wu Shi and the others are about the same age as him, and the next World Cup in four years will be at their peak. At that time, the Huaxia team with a few of them is definitely not worse than the current Brazilian team.

Thinking of this, Wang Shuai also turned his head to Zhou Aniu and said, "In the second half, don't shrink in the back." ”
