In the third round of the group stage, the qualifying situation for Groups A and B is basically clear, and the host of Group A, Russia, qualified ahead of schedule but did not lock up the top spot in the group. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In Group B, the Chinese team has also qualified, but Portugal and Croatia drew in the second round, so if the Chinese team loses to Croatia in the third round, the Chinese team will qualify second in the group.

This situation means that even if the Chinese team and the host country want to avoid it, it is impossible for either side to know how they will end up in the group.

The Russian media was particularly interested in this question, and Li Guo's answer to the question was strong - the hosts could not get past the Chinese team.

As soon as this remark came out, the host media was shocked, some found it amusing, and many more were dismissive.

At this time, many people think of the most famous curse in the history of football - the Benfica curse.

Benfica's curse, also known as Gutmann's curse, in 1962, Hungarian coach Gutmann led Benfica to win the European Champions Cup, after winning the championship, Gutmann asked Benfica club executives for a salary increase, not only was refused, but was fired after leading the team to win the championship for more than 1 month.

Gutmann was so angry that he left with something that sent chills down the hearts of Benfica fans: "In 100 years, Benfica won't win another European title." ”

More than 50 years later, Benfica has reached many European finals, but has never won the title again.

So sometimes you really can't blame the superstition of people in the football circle, there are indeed a lot of things like magic in this circle.

And in the Bundesliga, Bayer Leverkusen also suffered from the curse of runners-up, and this Bundesliga powerhouse has never won the Bundesliga title.

When Li Guo said the sentence "The host can't cross the Chinese team" domineeringly, he immediately swiped the screen on the Internet.

The host fans feel that it is better to avoid the Chinese team, there is no need to worry about the mad dog, in the hearts of Russian fans, Li Guo has a bit of a mad dog spirit, this is not a slander, it is a kind of fear.

After the defeat in Euro 2016, Russia invited Italian coach Fabio Capello, so it was Capello who led Russia to this World Cup.

He scoffed at what kind of curse, Capello, who was mixed with many giants, had never seen anything, and the championship was even softer.

"Enchantments? Just by the Chinese team? ”

In fact, what really worries Capello is the Russian team itself, and now the players in this Russian team are old, small, and have no core, unlike in the Hiddink era, Russia had a leader like Arshavin.

In the current Russia, the only thing that can make Capello look at is the high school striker Dzyuba.

In between training, Capello took a bottle of water and handed it to Dyuba, who was stunned for a moment before taking it.

Jiuba knew that the boss must have something to do with him, "Boss, if you have something to do with me, just say a word, I'll go to you after training." ”

"No, there's something I want to talk to you about on the pitch."

Gyuba nodded.

Capello went straight to the point: "You're actually good at everything, but ......"

Gyuba chuckled in his heart, "Are you going to abandon me?" ”

Jiuba remembered his evil ex-girlfriend, and usually when they want to dump themselves, they will start with this sentence - Jiuba, in fact, you are good at everything, but.

So Jiuba trembled and said: "Boss, although I haven't scored in two games, I have an assist, don't you abandon me, okay." ”

Capello was confused, what is this!

"No, no, no, I don't blame you, not only that, but I also have an idea to establish you as the core of the team."

"Core?"

"Yes, it's like Arshavin."

The manager is so serious, it stands to reason that the players should be happy, but Dzyuba is not, and the first thing that comes to his mind is that Arshavin is not something that everyone can do.

"Boss, I'm not suitable."

"Why?"

Dyuba didn't know what to say, but he knew that the leader on the court had the character of a leader, and he didn't have such a character for the time being.

"Don't you really want to?" Capello looked at Dzyuba with an aggressive look in his eyes, and soon Capello was disappointed, and he found that Dzyuba did not dare to look at him.

"Okay, let's go."

Dyuba was pardoned and ran back to the court, Capello shook his head, he remembered Cassano, although the bad boy was unruly, but when that guy was in Rome, he dared to scold himself, how Capello wished Dyuba would have such a temper.

Capello is also not confident about how far this Russian team can go, the group stage is too weak opponents, and it is the knockout stage...... Capello didn't think any further.

Croatian coach Tsacic was angry and funny in the face of this situation, he thought: "The next opponent of the Chinese team is Croatia, why should everyone care about the Chinese team and Russia in the knockout round, this is a bit too disrespectful." ”

So in the pre-match press conference, Çacic expressed his dissatisfaction, "Croatia is a strong team, we should not be treated like this, I think Russia should be afraid of not the Chinese team, but our Croatia." ”

Croatia and Russia are located in the same Eastern Europe, and for historical reasons, football between the two countries has always been in competition.

When Tsacic said this, the Russian reporters at the scene remembered, yes, Croatia and Russian football are also derby.

Zacic thought that in this way, the media should always give his team the respect it deserved, but he didn't expect that the subsequent questions from the media almost made him spurt blood.

"Then do you have the confidence to beat the Chinese team and let us Russia avoid the Chinese team in the quarterfinals."

"It's the Chinese team again, hehe," Chačić thought to himself, he was a little depressed, and spread his hands, "Since you care so much about the Chinese team, I can end the press conference early and leave time for Li Guo, what do you think?" ”

"Okay!"

Chačić was completely speechless, anyway, he didn't bother to pay attention to these reporters, even if it was a favor.

Li Guo appeared, and the first sentence was, "I don't accept questions about the quarterfinals, not a single one, of course, according to FIFA regulations, even if I am sitting, I will finish the press conference, so don't try to harm me." ”

"Li Guo, what do you think of Capello?"

"There is nothing to say."

"What about the goals after the group stage?"

"No comment."

"And what about Tsacic?"

Li Guo shook his head.

The reporter was stunned, "I didn't ask about the quarterfinals, can't I ask about Croatia?" ”

"No, I did it on purpose for the first two questions, but I really don't know about the third question, I don't know much about Tsacic."

Poof, the audience burst out laughing.
