Chapter 1154 - This Is Called a Bench Lineup?
Bosque's goals for the team are perfect for Spain right now, from the lack of confidence in the first round of the group to the desperate survival in the second round, allowing them to regain their lost confidence, and with Australia being far inferior to Spain as a whole, developing this strategy will help the team find their best form.
In fact, Bosque made the right choice, as the Spanish players who had fought hard in the first round of the defeat were playing Australia as if they were the Netherlands, with Spain leading Australia 3-1 at the end of the first half.
Throughout the first half, Spain, who had the advantage of both technique and individual ability, were in perfect control of the game, and Paco, who replaced Diego Costa as the starting striker, was still in hot form, and he was directly involved in two of the three goals.
The only thing Australia could praise was their striker Gary Cahill's earth-shattering striker, which was the impression the Australians made on the television throughout the first half.
In the other stadium that kicked off at the same time, it was still 0:0 at the end of the first half
If the two games end with the score of the first half, the Netherlands and Spain will be the two teams to qualify from this group, one or two places apart.
The 2014 Brazil World Cup 1/8 finals are Brazil vs Spain, Netherlands vs Mexico.
This result is undesirable for Spanish fans, because Brazil has the advantage of being at home, and the team is very competitive under the leadership of young talents such as Oscar and Neymar, so Brazil is not an ideal opponent in the quarterfinals.
But Spain's loss to the Netherlands in the first round already means that they have lost the initiative, and if they want to avoid the mighty Brazil in the 1/8 finals, they must count on the Netherlands to drop the chain at a critical time, just ...... The chances are a bit low.
Obviously, the experienced coach Louis van Gaal is not going to let the team have such an opportunity, and the team's excellent intelligence has been to report on the continuation of the game at the other stadium, and Van Gaal highlighted the unexpected results during the break to make the players aware of the ...... Qualifying isn't just about qualifying.
The fifteen-minute half-time break passed quickly, and the game on both courts kicked off again at the same time.
Bosque looked at the striking scoreboard in the northeast, and his mind had already flown to another field to cheer for Chile.
However, there is still a certain gap between the strength of Chile and the Netherlands, Van Gaal hid some of the main forces in the first half, so that the first half of the game was equal, with Robben and Sneijder coming on one after another, the balance of victory began to tilt in favor of the Netherlands.
The game finally opened up in the 73rd minute, Sneijder launched an attack in midfield, captain Robben used his super individual ability to break through on the left in succession, and passed a high-quality cross, and the key youngster Fell stepped in to head the ball into the goal.
Before the end of the game, it was Robben again, whose long-range shot after his breakthrough caused Bravo to get out of his hands, and it was also the post-90s youngster Depay who made a supplementary shot.
In the end, the Netherlands won Chile by two goals, won three consecutive wins in the group, accumulated nine points, and advanced to the round of 16 as the group leader, while their 1/8 final opponent was Mexico.
So even if Spain beat Australia 5-1 in the final round of the group stage, they will have to accept the reality that they will meet Brazil again in the knockout rounds after a year's absence.
※※※
The third round of the final group stage between the Chinese team and the United States team was held at 2 p.m. local time in Brazil on the 26th, that is, at 12 a.m. Beijing time on the 27th, which is more in line with the time for Chinese fans to watch the game.
Prior to this, Group C and Group D and Group E and Group F also had a total of eight group games, which were divided into two days, which means that the matches between China vs the United States and Portugal vs Ghana will be played two days later.
Of the eight matches, only one was a high-profile match - Italy vs Uruguay.
Italy, the 2006 World Cup champions in Germany, failed to qualify after a good start in 2010, and it is unlikely that Italy will be able to repeat the 2010 World Cup in South Africa four years later.
A hard-fought 2-1 win over England in the first round of the group would have been a good start, and a win against Costa Rica, the weakest side in the group, would have been a good start to qualify, but ...... But the chain fell when it was critical.
0:1
They were beaten by Costa Rica, who were considered the weakest in the group, and gave them three points in the precarious situation of qualifying, giving them a good chance to qualify.
This result also reminded many media of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa......
Similarly, Uruguay, who suffered a shock first-round defeat to Costa Rica, are in danger of qualifying, with one win and one defeat in two rounds to accumulate three points, and only a last-round win over Italy will secure the right to qualify from the group.
However, Italy's qualifying situation is better, both teams are 1 win and 1 loss in the first two rounds, Italy has a goal difference of 0, and Uruguay is -1, which means that Italy can lock up the second place in the group with a draw, and Uruguay must win!
However, it is precisely the fact that a draw can qualify that makes many Italian fans panic, and four years ago the World Cup in South Africa was lost to Slovakia with a draw and was eliminated.
I don't know if it's the end of Italy's four-year cycle, they held on for almost 80 minutes and Godin took advantage of a corner kick to head the ball into the back of the net......
In the other group game played at the same time, England and Costa Rica drew 0-0, which means that the little-known Costa Rica won two and drew one, accumulating seven points to qualify for the first place in the group.
It has to be said that this was a surprising result.
Soon, the time came for the third round of Group G between China and the United States, and Guardiola took into account that the team had won two consecutive games and basically locked the first place in the group, and there were several positions in the rotation of the game with the United States in the third round.
Of course, the core players in the main framework are not in the rotation, especially the captain Aillo, because he is the basis for the Chinese team to gain the advantage of the game.
Although the Chinese team played the United States team in the last game with a substitute lineup, it still became the target of media ridicule, because the media believes that the substitute lineup without Iroh is the one who has Iro, and the one with Iroh will always be the main lineup.
In fact, the media also has their reasons for saying this, even if the Chinese team chooses the teenager Zhang Yu in the center position, and the Chinese team led by Ailo has an advantage from the first minute of the game......
Therefore, from the first minute of the game, the head coach of the American team, Klinsmann, kept walking around his coaching command area to relieve the pressure.
