Chapter 1151: Another upset

The World Cup is a carnival for fans all over the world, and it is also the ultimate goal for professional footballers, especially for stars in their own careers, who are very eager to lead their national teams to the end and win the World Cup in their golden years.

Among them, the most influential in world football today is the most influential in the world of football, and Messi's desire to win the championship is the greatest, their current age is 28 and 27 years old respectively, this age can be said to be the peak of their career, and no one knows what their state is in the World Cup four years later, so this World Cup has become a moment of struggle for their power.

After the first match of their respective national teams, they all devoted themselves to training.

Of course, in the tournament system, the team does not have much technical and tactical training, more recovery training, and the physical consumption during the group stage may not be too obvious, but once it reaches the knockout stage, the physical gap will directly affect the process of the game.

For coaches with a lot of coaching experience, they naturally know the importance of physical recovery.

During this time, neither Iello nor Messi, nor Cristiano Ronaldo, who had an outstanding individual performance in the first game, were interviewed by the media, and chose to focus on the preparation for the next game.

It is worth mentioning that the form of the Argentine national team and the Portuguese national team has not yet reached their best moment, especially Messi's Argentina, if it is not for Messi's personal performance in the first game, then they are likely to draw with Dzeko's Bosnia and Herzegovina in the first round.

Although Portugal, which lost in the first round, has a gap with the Chinese team in terms of strength, the more reason is that their state is not mentioned at the highest, otherwise there will be no complete passivity in most of the game time.

The 2014 World Cup in Brazil continued, with South Korea drawing 1-1 with Russia in the other Group H match, and Brazil, who won the opening game, drew 0-0 with Mexico.

On this day, the Chinese team also took a flight from El Salvador to Fortaleza, where they will play Ghana in the second round of Group G group games of the World Cup.

China, who beat Portugal in the first round, only needs to beat Ghana in the second round to basically lock up a qualifying spot, and it is likely to be the first place in the group.

As soon as they arrived at Fortaleza International Airport, the exit was surrounded by Chinese fans and media reporters who came to the airport in advance, and the first game of the Chinese team can be said to be a homework, as long as they continue to play, there is no problem in qualifying from the group.

Especially the captain Iro, his fame and super play in the first round of the game made him the most popular Chinese player in the team.

※※※

Ghana, who lost in the first round, will be particularly important in the second round of the group stage, because if they don't win this game, they can basically say goodbye to the World Cup in Brazil......

Therefore, the captain of the Ghana team took the initiative to be interviewed by the media after the team arrived at the hotel in Fortaleza, and in the face of most of the media's optimism about the prospects of the Chinese team, he said bluntly: "I know that everyone is optimistic about the Chinese team, but I hope everyone here will not forget that the biggest feature of football games is uncertainty, and I believe that we will definitely beat the Chinese team in the group stage in three days and return to the group qualifiers......

Despite this, there are still not many media who are optimistic about the Ghana team, because there is no shortage of people in the world who speak big, and they won't break the law anyway.

Soon, attention was drawn to the two games to be played in Group B, especially Spain, who lost the first round of the group by a big margin, and faced Chile in the second round.

Chile, led by Vidal and Sanchez, showed great fighting power, leading Spain by two goals in the first half, which had been in poor form since the start of the World Cup.

However, when everyone, including Elo, thought that Spain would be eliminated from the group with two consecutive defeats, Paco, a talented striker who came on as a substitute in the second half of Valencia's academy, became the biggest contributor to Spain's comeback.

In the 67th minute, he took advantage of his speed to burst into the box and force the opposition centre-back Medel to make a mistake, and the referee awarded a penalty and Xavi Alonso converted a penalty to narrow the score.

Three minutes later, it was Paco again, with his header equalising for Spain.

In stoppage time in particular, it was he who calmly flicked the ball with his right foot and back to Cesar Azpilicueta, who scored unmarked from near the penalty spot.

Spain miraculously scored three goals in a row in the second half to reverse Chile and get three points with difficulty.

After the game, head coach Bosque had to admit that if it weren't for Paco's excellent form in this game, Spain would have been likely to go out of the group early.

It is worth mentioning that Valencia coach Carlo Ancelotti, who was watching the game at this time, had a headache, and he knew ...... Before the start of next season, one must choose between Cavani and Paco, otherwise...... There is going to be hell to pay.

※※※

On the seventh matchday, it was again a star from Valencia who dominated the game, and the core of the midfield, James Rodriguez, was the hero of Colombia's victory, and it was his love of shooting and passing to help Colombia beat Ivory Coast 2-1, winning two consecutive group games and qualifying for the group early.

If nothing else, James Rodriguez's Colombia are likely to finish top of the group.

The result of the subsequent Group D match was extremely disappointing for England fans, who lost 2-1 to Italy in the first round of the group and then lost to Uruguay in the second round of the group, which was equivalent to the result of England being eliminated from the group by one round......

However, the result of this game was not surprising, if you look at the whole process of the game, you can see that Uruguay is indeed much better than England, and the victory is won.

What is surprising is that in another game in the same group, Italy lost 0:1 to Costa Rica in the second round of the group, causing a very big upset.

It is worth mentioning that after the end of this game, many fans who bought football lottery were heartbroken, and some fans who bought Italian victory chose to commit suicide......

Even if there was a strong clash between Germany and France the next day, Italy's defeat was still the content of major media reports, because there were so many things involved in this game.

In addition, the handicap before the game was quite weird, which made the bookmaker make a lot of money after the upset loss in Italy, that is...... There are institutions in control of the game in this game.
