Chapter 830: The Last Round (Plus Update)

The bizarre points and rankings at the end of the second round of Group D at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa surprised all the media who followed the World Cup, a situation that has not been seen in decades.

And Iroh has also attracted a lot of attention with three goals, and since the beginning of his career, he has been the top scorer in every league he has played in.

Of course, the 2009-2010 season in the Premier League and Champions League was an exception, and he was seriously injured for half a year.

Therefore, while the Chinese team beat the German team to become the first in Group D, it also aroused strong interest in the media for the top scorer of this World Cup.

Many mainstream European and Chinese media believe that the final top scorer should belong to the hot Ayro.

But there are also many media who have expressed their doubts, there is no problem with Ailuo's strength being at the top of world football, but the average level of the Chinese team is a little out of the table, and there is a big question mark over whether it can finally get the right to qualify for the group, and the top scorer is even more uncertain......

Even the three major European bookmakers William Hill, Ladbrokes, and Bet365 are not very optimistic about Iello in terms of odds, and they are more optimistic about Germany's Klose, Spain's Torres, Villa, and the Netherlands' Van Persie, Huntelaar and others......

However, when these words reached the ears of Ello, who had just arrived at the hotel where Nestit was staying, he frowned visibly, and then said confidently: "Who said that the top scorer has to play all the games?" Maybe I only need to play half of the seven games to win the Golden Boot at this World Cup? ”

In the face of the confident Iro, there are naturally many media who question him.

Especially on the stage of the World Cup, everyone's national self-esteem is very strong, they don't think that one Ailo can raise the level of football in the whole of China, and the current Chinese team is at most a second-rate team in the world......

And luck didn't go well for the Chinese either, as evidenced by Elo's four goalposts in the first round of the group against Germany.

In other words, in their minds, there is only a theoretical possibility for Ailo to win the World Cup Golden Boot.

As a matter of fact...... Not at all!

Even if Iello is the best offensive player in the world......

In addition to his outstanding ability, the success of Valencia and Chelsea is inextricably linked to the overall strength of the team, and the current strength of the Chinese team has made most of the world's media unable to see the future of the Chinese team......

So Iroh said disgruntled to the skeptical media: "Since so many media have expressed deep doubts about me, does anyone dare to bet with me?" ”

Many reporters who came to the hotel where the Chinese team stayed instinctively wanted to agree when they heard Iro's words, in their cognition, this was a gamble with no wins and no losses, but their subconscious remembered that Iroh had cashed out in countless bets in the past, so they swallowed it back......

Isn't Juan Carlos of Le Monde Sports the best example of this?

Didn't the early start of the 2008-2009 season raise questions about the inability of Ello and Jose Mourinho to lead Chelsea to defend all the titles?

The result? Bang Bang slapped a lot of media in the face.

Therefore, it is better to be careful with Iroh's gamble, after all, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years.

Thereupon...... The media that questioned Iello for winning the World Cup Golden Boot also appropriately kept their mouths shut.

As the crossover time between Group E and Group F approached, the media's attention shifted to the upcoming three matches, with the Netherlands beating Denmark 2-0 in the first round and Japan 1-0 in the second round, so they qualified for the group ahead of Argentina, who have won two consecutive games in Group B.

The tragedy is that Italy was forced to draw 1:1 by Paraguay in the first round, and then was forced to draw 1:1 by Australia in the second round of the group, and the qualification of the group is worrying......

Brazil won 3-1 against Ivory Coast to win two consecutive group games to qualify early, but Kaka's controversial red card in the game became the focus of everyone's attention after the game, when he just pressed his arm against his body to exert force backwards, as a result, Keita covered his face and fell to the ground in pain, and the referee mistakenly thought that Kaka had an elbow swing......

Before Portugal shouted 7-0 at North Korea the next day, Kaka's red card was in focus.

Because in everyone's impression Kaka is a good baby image, this red card is also the first red card since Kaka landed in European football, and countless media supporting Kaka believe that the referee on duty has added an indelible stain to Kaka's life experience, which is completely tantamount to a crime!

Spain, who suffered a shock defeat to Switzerland in the first round, learned enough to thrash Honduras 3-0 thanks to David Villa's hat-trick, while he also tied with Iello for three goals and tied for top scorer with three goals.

After the end of the group stage of Group H, it also means that the group stage of the World Cup has entered the white-hot stage, except for Nigeria, Cameroon, North Korea and Honduras, which lost both games, and lost the hope of qualifying, the other 28 teams can compete for two qualifying places in the group, especially the four groups of Group A, Group C, Group D and Group F, all four teams have theoretical hopes of qualifying.

It is worth mentioning that Group A France lost to Uruguay in the second round of the group after the promotion crisis, the last round of Group A is the group with four points Uruguay and Mexico directly faced, and the two games only one point France and the host South Africa are in three or four places respectively for another game, which means that France must beat South Africa in the final round if it wants to qualify, and Uruguay and Mexico must also split the winner to have a chance to advance to the round of 16.

And soon after the game, there was a 'ghost' who broke the news to the media that Anelka insulted coach Domenech at halftime and refused to apologize, and the matter became bigger and bigger, and the French Football Federation had to expel him from the team.

Anelka was expelled from the team, the other big names in the team were completely angry, and it didn't take long for the 'internal ghosts' to break out of the French team's 'boycott' incident, so that Domenech put the leading players of the strike out of the starting lineup in the final game against South Africa in order to calm the civil unrest.

Outcome...... 1:2 lost to the host South Africa, three games, one draw and two losses, only one point was tragically eliminated, and became the laughing stock of the media all over the world.

The results of the two matches in Group B later also came out, South Korea drew 2:2 with Nigeria, while Argentina defeated Greece, and all South Korean teams ranked second in the group with four points from three games, one win, one draw and one loss, and advanced to the round of 16.

The final round of the group stage between the Chinese team and Serbia and Germany and Ghana was played at half past eight in the evening on the 23rd.

The four-and-a-half-hour before the final round of Group D is the final round of Group C.

As a player who has played in the Premier League for three seasons, he has a deep sense of substitution for the England national team, and England has a nickname for the 'Chinese team in Europe', plus team-mate and friend Frank Lampard, Ashley Cole, and John Terry are all England's main players, he has countless reasons to follow this game.

The whole game is undoubtedly tough for England, Slovenia has four points from two games, one win and one draw, and only needs a draw to qualify, while England has only two points from two games and two draws, and only a win can ensure qualification from the group, so there is no way back for England.

Coupled with the sharpness of the English media, which is well-known all over the world, the team was put under sufficient pressure before the game, hoping that the players would turn the pressure into motivation and win the group by beating Slovenia in the final round of the group to win the group.

Anyway, the Chinese team has a good chance of winning the group, and if they want to avoid the Chinese team with Ailuo, they must win the first place in this group......

England finally scored under pressure......

Won too......

It's just that it won 1:0, which is a big difference from the imaginary big win, and the United States team, which started another game at the same time in the same group, beat Algeria in stoppage time with Donovan, which means that the United States team has the same points as England, both of which are five points, so the next two teams are compared to goal difference, and the goal difference between the two teams is also a goal, and finally they have to compete for the number of goals to have a specific ranking.

England finished second in the group by one goal!

In other words, if Group D also ends the group stage according to the current ranking, then England's opponent in the 1/8 finals is the Chinese team!

It's a team that all the English media and members of the England national team don't want to meet......

Iroh is too familiar with them!!

Of course, the British media at this time can only pray that the Chinese team will lose in the final round of the group stage in two hours......

All the members of the Chinese team gathered in the lobby of the hotel after two matches in Group C.

As in the previous two group games, Chinese fans and some media in Nestit watched the Chinese national team members board the bus to the stadium.

The 46,000-seat Mbobella Stadium was nearly 80 percent filled two hours before the start of the game, with most of them being Chinese and South African fans supporting the Chinese team, while Serbian fans made up only a small part.

The reason why these fans entered the stadium two hours early is very simple, that is, to create a frenetic atmosphere before the start of the game and stimulate the fighting spirit of the Chinese players!

The current Chinese team is the first in Group D with a goal advantage, and for the Chinese fans who came to the scene, they do not want the Chinese team to beat Serbia to win the first place in the group, but only to get points to qualify for the group.

Especially after South Korea drew with Nigeria yesterday and won the right to qualify from the group, the South Korean media was extremely embarrassed and made Chinese fans quite unhappy.

After a while, the Chinese fans, under the leadership of Jian Mangen, the president of the 'Dragon Team Fan Association', quickly set up a beautiful table decoration, with banners, slogans, and posters.

Among them, the most eye-catching is the huge poster of 'Chinese team must win', which seems to have a complete soul and comes to life under the shaking of the fans.
