On the day when the Argentine team broke out the [inside bar incident], although the media and fans focused almost all their attention on the HPC Sports Center...... However, the remaining matches in the third round of the group stage of the World Cup in South Africa are still going on tightly!

One of the most eye-catching is undoubtedly the defending champion [Azzurri] Italy against Slovakia at Ellis Park in Johannesburg!

In the first two rounds of Group F, Lippi's team disappointingly only won two consecutive draws, while Italy's opponent, Slovakia, who participated in the World Cup for the first time as a reading country, drew one and lost one!

Both teams have been pushed to the edge of the cliff, and they both need a win to make it out of the group, or they will die without a place to bury!

This is a life-and-death battle with no way out!

The match starts at 16:00 in the afternoon of the same day. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After 90 minutes of fierce battle at Ellis Park in Johannesburg, the final result was a surprise - the defending champion Italy team lost to the weak team Slovakia with a score of 2:3, and finished at the bottom of the group and went out in disgrace!

For the defending champion [Azzurri], what was worse than the ending was the process of the game - from beginning to end, the 'underdog' Slovakia was firmly in an empty situation, striker Vitek scored a goal in each half and achieved a brace, Di Natale and Quagliarella's goals once gave the Italian team hope, but Slovakia substitute striker Koknenko received the ball from his teammate on the sideline and scored a lob in the penalty area, and the most absolutely killed the defending champion!

The star-studded Italian team has never been ahead of even a minute!!

The tears of the Italian fans soaked the stands of the Johannesburg Ellis Park Stadium, and the camera camera captured the helpless scene of the head coach [Silver Fox] Lippi praying helplessly on the sidelines, which is destined to be forever engraved in the history of the [Blue Coats]!!

It's a shame for heavy makeup!

Meanwhile, another Group F match came to an end at Paulo Guani's Peter Mocaba Stadium – South American giants Paraguay drew 0-0 with New Zealand and picked up a valuable point.

So far, all three matches in Group F have ended.

Paraguay topped the group with five points from one win and two draws, while Slovakia stepped on the corpse of defending champion Italy with one win, one draw and one loss to enter the knockout round...... The New Zealand team is undefeated in the group for three consecutive draws and ranks third, while the [Blue Coats] Italian team was completely kicked into the bottomless abyss of shame, with two draws and one loss at the bottom of the group!

The final situation of the F group made many people fall through the eyes.

Head coach [Silver Fox] Lippi is too superstitious about veterans such as Cannavaro who won the championship last year, and abandoned the selection criteria for young players, which is unanimously considered by fans and the media to be the most important reason why the team suffered a World Cup Waterloo!

The accusations that covered the sky did not stop from the moment the referee blew the final whistle in the third group game - "Gattuso: We are a shame for Italy"

"Pirlo tears in the locker room, 'brain' says goodbye to the World Cup forever"

"Italy is out of shame Lippi is the culprit, angry fans say they want to hang [Silver Fox]"

From 'National Hero' to 'Hell Sinner', the Four Years of the Famous Handsome Lippi

"The old defense line has been blown up, and this is the consequence of trusting Cannavaro"

…… The condemnation of Lippi and the players by Italian fans and media has never stopped.

The World Cup, on the other hand, is still going on vigorously - the final round of Group G of the Group of Death has begun.

The Durban Stadium attracted the attention of the world on June 28, and the five-star [Samba Army] Brazilian team and the Portuguese team met here, and this match was regarded as a direct confrontation between Kaka and C-Ronaldo in the young generation of football [Four Heavenly Kings]!

Unfortunately, despite the heat, the game ended in a 0:0 draw, and Kaka and C-Ronaldo did not perform brilliantly, and the two sides shook hands!

On the other field, [African Elephant] Ivory Coast defeated the North Korean team 3:0!

At this moment, the devilish aura of the group of death finally gradually dissipated, and the winner stood on the white bones - the Brazilian team won three games, won two and drew one, accumulated 7 points to win the group transparent, and the Portuguese team won one win and two draws in second place, and these two traditional powerhouses joined hands to qualify!

The loser loses the qualification for further - [African Elephant] Ivory Coast won in the final round, but was eliminated by 1 point, as for the North Korean team, the three battles have been vividly reflected in their true strength!

…… After the Group of Death, there are still two final matches left in the group stage of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa - June 29.

Spain vs. Chile and Switzerland vs. Honduras kick off at 16:00 p.m. local time at the same time!

The Matadors relied on Villa's pass to beat Chile 2-1, while Switzerland drew 0-0 with Honduras...... Before the game, many people saw these two games as a contest of wisdom and courage between Bielsa, the protagonist of the Chilean team, and Heathfield, the head coach of the Swiss team, because both teams have the possibility of qualifying, and they must make a choice between defense and attack!

And the final result undoubtedly shows that [madman] Bielsa defeated the old coach Heathfield - the Chilean team was sent off, in the face of the strong opponent Spain still insisted on onslaught, and finally scored a goal, while the Swiss team, which can qualify as long as it wins, is conservative and self-contained in the face of the recognized weak team Honduras team, and pins the hope of promotion on the Spanish team to beat Chile, and the result is that the chance to qualify is lost...... As soon as this campaign passed, the ranking of Group H also came out quickly - the Spanish team won two games and lost one in three games, with 6 points and 2 winning goals, and the first place in the group.

Chile has three games, two wins and one loss, 6 points, 0 wins, and is second in the group.

The Swiss team defeated the Spanish team in the first round, but finally paid a huge price because of their conservatism, only 4 points to rank third in the group, and Honduras, who only won one draw in three games, was eliminated from the group!

…… June 29 at 17:45 p.m.

It was a watershed moment for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa – with the whistle from English referee Howard Webb, the long group stage campaign finally came to an end!

In the past 19 days, after a long 48 endless fierce fighting, 16 of the 32 princes finally lost the qualification to continue to compete for the Hercules Cup, and the remaining 16 strong, without resting, will soon catch the right pair and start fighting!

From the first second of the end of the group stage, the matchup table for the quarterfinals has been shown in front of the world - South American powerhouse Ula vs [Asian Red Devils] South Korea!

[Three Lions] England vs [African Buffalo] Ghana!

German team vs North American team American team!

[Blue and White Army] Argentina vs [Hulk] Mexico!

【Orange】Netherlands vs World Cup newcomer Slovakia!

【Five-Star Samba】Brazil vs South American powerhouse Paraguay!!

South American powerhouse Uruguay vs [Asian Brazil] said this team!!

【Matador Legion】Spain vs [Flying Wing Legion] Portugal!!

These eight games, will undoubtedly be the world's attention to the dragon and tiger fight, starting from 18:00 in the afternoon of the 30th, two games a day, the heroes will use 4 days and 8 games, to compete for the final victory of the top eight, into the quarterfinals!

The cruel breath is once again rushing towards you!

………… Of course, the media are also frantically continuing their work - with the group stage of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa completely over, the top 32 have all completed their first stage of competition, and after 48 games, there are super dark horses who have gone out of the air and super giants who have fallen on their feet!

All this has made all the media and fans in world football can't wait to start a new round of 'pointing the country' activity again, and Reuters has been too addicted to commenting on the report in the previous report.

This time, they once again continued the previous style of commentary, ahead of other media, and on the basis of the results of each team and the fan survey, they selected the 'awards' of the 2010 group stage - the [most anticlimactic award] was won by the Swiss team of the old coach Heathfield!

They defeated a strong Spanish team in the first round of the tournament and broke out the first real big upset of this World Cup, but in the final game, they only needed to win to qualify, and the weakest opponent in Group H, Honduras, only forced a draw and unfortunately lost the group stage...... The Swiss team's 2010 World Cup in South Africa had a grand start, but ended in regret and criticism, and their performance was definitely the most anticlimactic!

The winner of the [Most Humiliated Out Award] was the Gallic Roosters French team.

As the runner-up team in the last World Cup, the performance of the French team in this World Cup can only be described as shameful, with three games without victory, and a scandal broke out internally...... Scandal scandal scandal, this is the only impression that the French team left on South Africa!

The defending champions, Italy, won the "Most Lost Soul" award.

The record of three games, two draws and one defeat is not the worst among the 32 teams, but the failure to qualify from the group is indeed absolutely unbearable for a giant like the Azzurri, and the "Milan Sport" newspaper reported that the first sight of the Italian players when they stepped out of the airport on their home country was not a media reporter, but 23 black coffins carried by angry fans, with everyone's name written on them...... And the head coach [Silver Fox] Lippi was even more regarded as a sinner, and was angrily scolded and reprimanded by tourists during the vacation...... From top to bottom, there is no one in the Italian team who does not lose their souls!

The "Strongest Bounce Award" was awarded to the Three Lions England team by Reuters.

After Green Butters made a mistake in the first game and were held to a draw by the United States, the Three Lions scored a terrifying 10 goals in the next two games, and the strength of the rebound was simply appalling!

The "Most Played Soy Sauce Team" was awarded to the North Korean team, which conceded 12 goals in three games.

The saddest team was awarded to the Australian team, and the tears of Harry Colwill, who played with illness, alone were enough to move the world.

[The most regrettable out award] awarded to the Ivory Coast team, the fame and strength of the players in the African Elephant team are first-class, and one win, one draw and one loss in the group stage is not the worst, but in the group of death, there are two giants of Brazil and Portugal to cover the sky, even if there is the courage of the monster, what can be done?

The Most Thrilling Award was awarded to the Matadors of Spain, and the favourites are still in danger of going out of the group before the final match...... From the defeat of the first upset, there have been many dangers along the way, but fortunately, the ending is still gratifying, and it is thrilling!

The [Most Decent Award] was awarded to ...... [Most Troubled Waters Fishing Award] ...... [Greatest Progress Award]...... The award won by the Blue and White Army of Crazy Lee is the [Most Perfect Award].

Reuters' comment made many fans nod their heads in agreement: "What you expected Argentina to do, Crazy Lee will make that expectation come true, 17 goals in three games, no team can do it more perfectly!" ”

Reuters' summary has won them countless eyeballs, and it has also led a wave of selection, and competitors in other media circles have set off various selections after the group stage!

All of a sudden, even FIFA and the South Africa World Cup Organizing Committee, unwilling to be lonely, announced the 18-man 3-4-3 best team list selected from 736 stars after 48 games in the past half month - [Best Goalkeeper] Neuer of the German team.

“…… The young Schalke 04 goalkeeper made eighteen effective saves in the final leg against Ghana to keep Germany's hopes of promotion firmly in place, and the best name is well deserved! ”

【Best Left Wing-Back】Argentina's Javier Zanetti.

“…… The undisputed defensive core and spiritual leader of the Argentine team, with two assists and zero turnovers, this is a perfect answer called out by a veteran! ”

[Best Central Defender] Samuel "...... the two games that the 'rock' played, the Argentine team did not concede a goal, and in the third game of his rotation, the only goal conceded by the Argentine team was precisely because of the mistakes of the central defenders, and the comparison of data is enough to explain everything. ”

【Best Right Back】Brazil's McConn.

“…… The world's best full-back, a pitch machine with excellent offense and defense, and a zero-angle goal against North Korea in the first round is enough to say it all! ”

【Best Midfielder】Riquelme, Alan Smith and Xavi "...... the goals and passes of the 'magician' Riquelme, which made the midfield passing control of the crazy Lee team dominant, and the 'macho' Alan Smith used three goals and active scrambling in the first two games to hold up the hardest waist for the Three Lions, and the 'ventilator' Xavi controlled the rhythm of the Spanish team like an engine and was the most indispensable motivation for the team! ”

【Best Striker】Messi, Diego Forlan, David Villa.

“…… The number one person who is far ahead of the scorer list, Messi's selection is undisputed...... Without a man named Diego Forlan, it will be difficult for Uruguay to qualify, let alone top the group...... As for Spain? The Matador's forward line is supported by Villa alone, because his partner, Liverpool's 'Holy Child', belongs to the role of playing soy sauce firmly in the front! ”

In addition to the eleven people who started on the field, the best seven people selected for the bench were the Spanish team [San Cassi] Casillas, the England team [Violent Bear] Andy Carroll and the [Lightning Killer] Michael Owen, the team [Rookie King] Keisuke Honda, the core of the Dutch midfield Sneijder, the new core of the German team Ozil, and the Slovak striker Vitek!

FIFA's best team may not be the case for all fans.

However, considering the importance of the players on this best list to their respective teams and the energy they showed in the first three games, most of the media and fans voted in favor!

…… When the summary is in full swing, the movement of the blue and white Argentine team has always attracted the attention of the football world, and almost all fans and media are eagerly waiting for the crazy Li to announce his newly formed coaching team!

At this time, many expert commentators have made predictions - "Judging from the criteria and tendencies of the madman Li to choose assistant coaches before, it is very likely that he will choose a large number of Chinese coaches as his assistants, and Li Bing is a typical example!" ”

The knockout rounds are just around the corner, and stability is paramount.

And the madman Lee didn't keep the media waiting too long - 20:00 p.m. on June 29.

Maniac Lee held a press conference at the University of Pretoria's HPC Sports Centre to announce his latest Argentina coaching staff, and the 15-minute press conference made the more than 200 reporters who went to the scene crazy...... And soon, the whole world knew about the choice of the madman Lee - Maradona!

Caniggia!!

Juan Verón!

Mario Kempes!!

Gabriel Batistuta!!

Fernando Redondo!!

…… That's the choice of Crazy Lee!!

The world doesn't know how many people have gritted their teeth, crushed their tongues, dropped their glasses, and accidentally dislocated their jaws at this moment...... How can this be true?

Putting aside the experience, identity and ability of these people, the number of people alone is incredible!! The newly formed coach of the Blue and White Army, plus the madman Li himself and the assistant coach Li Bing, there are only 8 people in total?

There are only 8 people, what kind of concept is this?

Not to mention that compared with the huge coaching team of 35 people of the Argentine team before, even compared with the average number of coaching staff in South Africa's top 32 of 25 according to the media, Crazy Lee's '8-person coaching staff' seems to be exaggeratedly small!

is such a new Argentina team coaching staff lineup, in an instant, like a terrifying, huge and inexplicable beast that suddenly emerged from the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, in the already noisy and noisy world football, once set off endless waves like a tsunami of heavenly rage.

The media, in an explosive manner of cramping and frenzy, are carrying out crazy reports -- "...... I think the madman Lee must be playing a children's game called 'Stamp Collecting of Past Superstars' or 'The Great Collection of Old Stars', Maradona and Kempes are barely coaching, but Redondo and Batistuta have never been in front of us as coaches, as for Juan Verón? Oh my God, he's just a player! ”

Excerpt from the Catalan newspaper Sport.

“…… Maradona's dedication to physical training? Kempes directs the offense? Batistuta trains goalkeepers? Redondo training set-pieces? Belon with training props? My God...... Crazy Lee turned Argentina's World Cup into a farce, and it is impossible to imagine how an eight-man coaching staff must be busy to ensure that the whole team does not mess around on the training ground? ”

Italy's "Milan Sport" also lamented.

“…… The Argentine team is finished! In the dream situation of winning all three games in the group stage, the madman Li first publicly bombarded the original coaching staff and caused a huge sensation, and then formed such an incredible ridiculous pocket coaching staff, the huge morale accumulated from the previous three consecutive wins was completely consumed, and the people in the team were panicked, whether they could cross the hurdle of Mexico in the quarterfinals, it is still an unknown number! ”

The latest review by the French newspaper Le Teams.

There is not only one media outlet that holds this view - "Argentina is finished!! ”

"Mad Lee destroys Argentine ......"

"The real purpose of the madman Lee coaching Argentina: to help the English destroy their old enemy Argentina, the most incredible undercover agent in the ages!"

"Maradona will not be willing to succumb to the madman Lee, and the two madmen will soon have a conflict......"

"The new coaching staff is a big-name celebrity who is not convinced by the Chinese assistant coach, and the madman Li is in a dilemma!"

"The Argentine Football Federation has bought the madman Lee, and Grondona is looking for a successor to the madman......"

“……”

Li Tongfan's series of behaviors made many people feel incomprehensible.

Most football experts unanimously predict that the huge changes in the team's coaching staff will have an immeasurable impact on the future results of the blue and whites, and if Argentina fail to win the next game - that is, reach the top four - the madman Li will become the most unforgivable sinner in the history of the Argentine team!

However, it is very strange that, according to the investigation of the two most influential newspapers in Argentina, "Reading Force" and "El Nacional", it seems that because the lawless behavior of Crazy Lee is in line with the casual and adventurous mentality of the fans, the support of Crazy Lee among the fans has not decreased but increased!

"The media always suspects him with the worst intentions, but, as an ordinary football fan, I would like to ask: Compared with those so-called stable and low-key world coaches, when did the madman Lee disappoint his supporters?"

"What is the coaching staff organized by the Football Association, we fans all know that now the madman Lee has put together a fantasy team for us, from the players to the coaches is the most incredible choice, and we support him unconditionally!"

"This is the most typical and veritable Argentine team!!"

"We need passion, football needs passion, and only the madman Lee did it!"

Facing the microphone and camera lens of the reporter, almost all the fans expressed the same meaning in different languages.

It's a strange phenomenon that the media is almost one-sided with the black maniac Lee, while the fans are overwhelmingly supporting the madman Lee, and it's hard to say which heartstring the fans touched by the madness of the madness...... However, there was a time when he won what he wanted!

Everyone understands that in such a mixed situation, if the madman Lee finally succeeds in leading the Argentine team to the top of the World Cup in South Africa, then from now on, he will become another real god of Pampas football after Maradona!

…… Time passes.

Just when the outside world was disturbing and discussing, Argentina's eight-member coaching staff was in the process of its first coaching staff meeting since its formation.

The HPC meeting seemed empty at this moment.

However, the atmosphere in the room was very relaxed.
