The football shock caused by China's elimination of Brazil lasted until the day when all the quarter-finals were selected. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The teams that reached the quarterfinals were Germany, China, Argentina, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Costa Rica, and Colombia.

Among them, China and Costa Rica are regarded as the biggest dark horses of this World Cup so far.

BBC football experts have addressed this issue in their comments on the World Cup fixtures so far.

After the expansion of the World Cup in 98, it actually helped the development of teams in those regions where football is underdeveloped, especially in Asia, where there were only two and a half places in the past, which made it very, very difficult for Asian teams to enter the World Cup.

It's like after the Champions League restructuring, those countries that couldn't have entered the Champions League, there are clubs that have entered the Champions League, they just showed their faces at first, but slowly, their performance is getting better and better.

When Blatter talked about the quarterfinals of the World Cup, he first expressed regret for the exit of the Brazilian team, and then he praised the World Cup in Brazil, which used to be said to be a matter for South American and European teams, but now it looks more like a World Cup.

In addition to the Brazilian media's mourning, in fact, most of the media think that this World Cup is still very good.

The influence of Chinese sports media in the world is not large, but in the country, the Chinese media still occupy an overwhelming advantage, CCTV as the exclusive media of the World Cup, they have a full range of coverage of the World Cup, live broadcast of the game, lace news after the game, expert analysis, all-encompassing.

But the Chinese media is generally low-key, which is related to the character of the Chinese, and when it comes to the top 8, everyone is still cautiously optimistic.

The interval between the World Cup is actually a time of media war, at this time the AFC is idle, as the flag of Asia, the performance of the Chinese team is not only a country's business, but also a matter of Asian football.

Saying that a little bit is a matter of face, and saying a little bigger is related to the direct interests of Asian football in the future, after all, in the football circle, everything depends on strength.

So the AFC wanted to do an exclusive interview with Li Guo, and the way was also very special, that is, to interact online on the official website of the AFC.

Of course, Li Guo gladly accepted this, Li Guo is a person who likes to be in the limelight, as long as there is a chance to be in the limelight, Li Guo will not let him go.

Li Guo thought to himself, now that technology is really developed, it was impossible to do an exclusive interview in front of billions of people in the past, but now it's so simple, it's OK on the official social media of the AFC.

Before the interview began, the host specially reminded Li Guo not to criticize the leaders of the AFC and FIFA.

Li Guo smiled and said that he understood, after all, Li Guo had spoken wildly at the AFC meeting in Kuala Lumpur, so this time the host took the vaccination first.

"First of all, congratulations to the Chinese team, you are the only Asian team to reach the quarterfinals, and you are also the second Asian team to reach the quarterfinals of the World Cup besides South Korea."

Li Guo smiled, I wanted to mention the matter of the South Koreans buying the referee, but in the end I held back and didn't say anything, in fact, the host made a small mistake, in fact, North Korea was the first Asian team to enter the top 8 of the World Cup, but the World Cup was not perfect at that time.

"Some people say that the success of the Chinese team is due to good luck, what do you think?"

Li Guo said bluntly: "People who say this kind of thing should not understand football, or they are not good, I think as long as people with a normal IQ can see our efforts." ”

"Well, let me ask in a different way, is luck also one of the reasons?"

"I don't see it that way."

Anyway, Li Guo didn't think it was lucky, but his own efforts.

The host changed the question, "The next opponent of the Chinese team is the German team, which is a very strong opponent, do you think it is possible for the Chinese team to beat the opponent?" ”

'The German team is a team that I respect, but it doesn't mean that the German team can't be beaten, I'll find a way, even if it's difficult.'

"Which player from the German team do you like the most?"

"There are too many, I basically like them, the German players are diligent and conscientious, I especially like that attitude, in fact, I also ask the Chinese players to do so."

"We know that after you took office in 2007, the Chinese team began to boldly use newcomers, and the Football Association did not interfere? Because as far as I know, the Chinese Football Association is relatively conservative. ”

"When I signed the contract, I made it clear that if I couldn't decide to hire people, then I wouldn't accept the job."

"It's been more than half of the World Cup in Brazil, do you have any interesting lace news to tell me."

"Want to hear the scandal?"

"No, no, no, it doesn't have to be a scandal, as long as it's interesting news."

Li Guo spoke out about the conflict with Scolari before the game.

"Really? Did he really say he was going to beat you? ”

"Hehe, it's just kidding."

"By the way, you seem to have always been open-mouthed, which is different from the Chinese we traditionally know, because your personality is still learned in Germany."

'No, I think football should be a passionate sport, footballers should be, coaches should be, like Cantona, like Alex Ferguson, if football becomes dead, what's the point.'

"But sometimes you overdo it, like you provoke the opponent and irritate the opponent."

Li Guo smiled, "Do you know that modern football originated in ancient Rome, and football was used as a way of military training at that time, so in my heart, football is a war in the era of peace, as long as it is within the rules, I will provoke the opponent." ”

"It seems that you are a really passionate manager, you mentioned Alex Ferguson, is he your idol?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"First of all, passion I have just said, and Ferguson can completely control his team and become the boss of the team, under his hands, no one dares to cause trouble, Keane, Cantona, and Xiaobei do not dare."

"And what about your control of the Chinese team?"

"I think kids want to listen to me."

Speaking of playing here, the host smiled slightly, "This should be the secret of your success, you are in complete control of your team." ”

Li Guo laughed, "You are very smart, if I were given 11 disobedient professional players or 11 obedient college students, then I would not hesitate to choose the latter." ”

"I see, the time for the interview is limited, but what I want to tell you is that we have one more chance to invite you here, provided that you make it to the semi-finals."

"Alright then, I hope to see you again, too." (To be continued.) )
