Chapter 835: Heaven to Hell (Gagan)

The match between Germany and Ghana at the Johannesburg Football City Stadium ended one minute earlier than the match between China and Serbia at the Mbobella Stadium due to the absence of stoppage time.

Just as Loew turned to walk towards the players' tunnel, assistant Flick trotted after him and whispered: "Serbia equalized......"

Hearing this news, Loew instinctively frowned, he knew that if the game ended according to the current score, then the first group would be Germany, which means that Germany will meet England in the 1/8 finals, which is not good news, in Loew's heart obviously wants to play the 1/8 finals with the United States team!

"MD, China is definitely handing the ball!" Loew continued walking with an unhappy expression.

If both games end 1:0, then the German team will pass even if it advances to the round of 16 as the second in the group, and if it chooses to draw Ghana in order to bypass England in the 1/8 finals, then Loew's position is estimated to expire after the World Cup, so for Loew, the draw between China and Serbia is equivalent to forcing him to a dead end!

I can only bite the bullet and rank first in the group!

This young German team can't stand the ravages of experienced England......

The match at the Johannesburg Soccer City Stadium and Mbobella Stadium went into half-time, with commentators from both stadiums discussing the game.

The on-site commentator at the Johannesburg Football City Stadium Xi Hewei frowned and said: "Another field also entered the halftime break, Germany led Ghana 1:0, and China at the Mbobella Stadium 1:1 Serbia, that is to say, according to the current score, Germany jumped to the first place in the group, China in the second group, Serbia in the third group, and Ghana in the fourth ......."

Huang Jianxiang shook his head and smiled: "If it is really according to this score to end the two games, it will be a good thing for the Chinese team!" ”

"Oh?"

"The dust has settled on the qualification place in Group C, the United States is first, England is second, which means that we can avoid England who are second in the group by qualifying second in the group, and I think the United States is better to deal with than the strong England, which will indirectly increase our hopes of advancing to the quarterfinals!"

Many fans in front of the TV and in front of the computer were still unhappy about Serbia's equalizer a moment ago, but when they heard Huang Jianxiang's analysis, they were overjoyed.

Reluctantly want a group to be the first to have an egg?

It's better to actually pick a better American team to deal with, after all, we are not a strong team in Germany that lives on face......

And Lineker, the BBC commentator in the Mbobella commentary box, is also aware of the importance of the scoreline, and he is first and foremost an Englishman as a fan of Elo.

He said excitedly: "Although the Chinese team was equalized by Serbia in the first half, it may not be a good thing for them, if the game ends according to the current score, then the Chinese team will meet the United States team in the 1/8 finals, compared to the strong England, the United States is obviously easier to deal with......"

German TV commentator Saulstameier looked at the half-time qualifier in the I-pad against the shape shì, frowned and said: "If the game ends according to the current score, then we will meet England in the 1/8 finals, which is very unfavorable for us when we come, Michael, what do you think?" ”

Commentator Barak smiled: "Isn't the game still not over? There are still 45 full minutes, the football game is changing rapidly, now we are still leading Ghana 1:0, it does not mean that the game is still 1:0 at the end of the game, the same game between China and Serbia is now 1:1, maybe the end of the game will be 2:1, 3:1......

"Oh? Michael, why do you believe that the Chinese team will win? ”

Ballack shrugged his shoulders and said: "When you win more than a dozen trophies for a god-like team-mate from Valencia all the way to Chelsea, you also believe that the team with Ai is invincible! ”

Solstameyer did not delve into this issue, and deep down he also hoped that China would win and meet England in the 1/8 finals: "Haha...... Let's hope so, let's look forward to the second half of the game! ”

As a result, England and China want China to draw their opponents, while Germany wants China to win the game......

※※※

The fifteen-minute half-time break passed quickly, and players from both sides appeared at the Mbobella Stadium in batches.

As the captain, Iroh gathered all the team members before his teammates walked to their positions, stood in a circle with their shoulders on their shoulders, and collectively shouted: "Victory!" ”

"Victory!!"

The same can be said of their opponents, Serbia, as the 45 minutes of the second half were the fateful moment for both teams.

Now the score is 1:1, which is the ideal score for the Chinese team to advance to the round of 16, but it is Serbia's elimination score, so Serbia will definitely increase its offensive efforts in the second half, and if the Chinese team chooses to stick to defense as it did before the end of the first half, it will be likely to be breached again.

After all, Gao Hongbo is not a top defensive expert like Mourinho, and it is impossible to be leaky in defensive arrangement.

Indeed, Serbia took advantage of the kick-off advantage to quickly go into attack, and Stankovic, who also played the No. 4 position in the first half, mentioned the No. 10 position, and the team's formation also changed from 451 to the mainstream 4231 formation in football.

"It seems that Serbia is really going to move seriously in the second half, Stankovic's position is very high, standing behind Jovanovic, which is of great help to their attack, Stankovic as a simple midfielder of the old generation of Serbia, can attack and retreat, can defend, pass and shoot have their own unique insights, the Chinese team is going to be in trouble......"

Just two minutes into the game, Serbia had a good chance to score, said the Italian national television commentator.

Gao Hongbo, who was standing on the sidelines, was very depressed, thinking that everything was under his control, but he realized that he was just a porter of fate......

The Chinese team was very passive at the beginning of the second half, Zheng Zhi and Wu Xi did not have many opportunities to take the ball forward, basically in a defensive state, as for Ailuo's chance to get the ball even less, only touched the ball twice in five minutes, one of which was a sideline ball near the center circle by fullback Sun Xiang.

This shows how serious the trouble is for the Chinese team......

Lineker realized that the current situation was leaning towards Serbia, which was more dominant in overall strength, and he began to worry about whether the Chinese team could withstand continuous attacks: "Serbia's offensive is getting more and more fierce, and I don't know if the Chinese team can withstand it during this time, as the head coach of the Chinese team, Gao must adjust the team, and it is very dangerous to be in a passive defense all the time......

Gao Hongbo only asked the team to pay attention to defense in the second half at halftime, and did not expect Serbia to attack like a tide, so it will take time to break the game......

Serbia took the initiative in an all-round way, almost overwhelming the Chinese team's defensive players, and time passed quickly.

Antici looked up at the match time: 59'24.

That said, almost fifteen minutes had passed in the second half before I knew it, and it was time to make the first substitution!

※※※

Two minutes later, Serbia took the lead in making a substitution, replacing Lazovic with a two-meter-tall Nikic to increase the height of the forward line.

When Zhikic entered the Chinese team's penalty area, Wang Xiaolei, who was 1.92 meters tall, felt tremendous pressure, and he stood more than half a head taller than Feng Xiaoting or Du Wei, how could this be?

As Valencia's teammate, Wang Xiaolei knows Zhikic very well, his shooting skills are very good, the header ferry and direct header attack are very high, after Valencia's three seasons of tempering, he also has a certain ability to cooperate on the ground, but the shortcomings are also obvious - the action rate is slow.

However, Antich's substitution of him was the right substitution according to the situation on the field, and he played to his strengths and avoided his weaknesses.

Serbia, who have the overall advantage, are fully equipped with the ability to play the ball frequently on both flanks, giving Nikic, who is extremely good at heading, a chance.

When the game reached the 68th minute, Serbia finally took advantage of Zhikic's height advantage to beat Feng Xiaoting and Du Wei to smash the ball towards the goal.

At the same time, the Serbian national team commentator shouted hoarsely: "Goooooooooooooal!" Nikolai Zhikic!! Wonderful violent header to score!! Antic's substitution was immediate, helping the team to overtake the score in the sixth minute of the substitution! If we finish the game with the current scoreline, then we will advance to the round of 16! Banzai!! ”

Zhan Jun half-opened his mouth, his tone was obviously affected by the score, and said in a low voice: "It's really not the time to lose a goal in this time period, just half of the second half, if you hold on for a few more minutes, you can consume more physical energy of the Serbian national team, but now the goal is fatal!" ”

"This ...... The ball was lost, it shouldn't have been! China's left-back Sun's fitness has dropped significantly, so why didn't Gao decisively replace him with the younger Rong? Krasic took advantage of Sun's physical drop to easily shake off the angle and pass a precise cross, and 'Giant' Zhikic only needed to jump up and lightly head the ball into the goal. ”

Head coach Gao Hongbo stood on the sidelines and watched the Serbian players celebrating wildly, and the whole person was stunned......

What is Heaven to Hell?

It's called heaven to hell!

But...... Little did he know that the goal was just the beginning.

Three minutes later, Branislav Ivanovic crossed at 45 degrees from the right, and Zhikic again ate Feng Xiaoting and Du Wei raw, and the header was crossed to the path of captain Stankovic.

Wu Xi subconsciously fell to the ground to block, but Stankovic still decisively chose to shoot, and the football went straight to the upper right corner of the goal under the gaze of the fans, and Wang Xiaolei did not react......

1:3

Serbia scored three goals in a row after falling behind by one goal!
