23 - The dark horse of the group of death

"Do you know, I thought that in today's two games, it would be Switzerland who would be upset, and Italy would be able to win smoothly."

Another day passed, and after the two games, Liu Bo also felt quite excited, "Who would have thought that the first to confirm the qualification in Group D would be Costa Rica?" England have already been knocked out, and it will be interesting to see Uruguay and Italy battle for another place in the final game – the group of death. ”

"Indeed, the dark horse in the group of death, this plot is indeed unexpected." Lao Niu felt the same surprise. He knows a little more than Liu Bo, and he also knows that Costa Rica has players playing in Levante in La Liga, and that team is a well-known nerve knife, and even Real Madrid is so happy that he can't make a mistake, but he didn't expect that this team would be able to play such a good state in the World Cup, and cut Uruguay and Italy down one after another.

"Italy also played themselves to death, Prandelli is still too conservative, if you want to hold on to the draw and get a point, where is it so easy? Now, in the last round, they are going to fight Uruguay, this opponent is not easy to play, Prandelli himself said that he is too proud - the pride mistake, this is not the first time he has made it. ”

"It's strange not to be proud after the last win, playing so well against England, if you really take it seriously this one, you won't panic after conceding the goal, and you won't lose. It's a pity that there are no ifs. I thought that Italy would definitely qualify for the group this year, but who knew that the Italians always died on their own. You look at the team that also went out of the group of the last World Cup, how well France played this game - before the World Cup I was still worried about how France would play, now it seems that qualifying is definitely not a problem, and after qualifying, it should not be a problem to play Bosnia and Herzegovina or Nigeria, right? It's a pity, he might as well lose one game, if he goes to play Argentina, the semi-zone signing is so good, maybe he can go straight to the final. ”

"After qualifying in this semi-district, eight into four to play Germany, not necessarily lost." Lao Niu didn't say who he might face - the other opponents Germany encountered were not strong opponents, "France is doing well this time." Having lived through the turbulent years of France before it, as well as the country's peak years, Deschamps knows that unity is the most important thing for France. Not recruiting Nasri seems to be a bit stubborn, but it is actually good for the dressing room environment of the French team, the French team has a high level of talent, similar to the Netherlands, and when there is no internal friction, they will be very good. The French are different from the Italians, who managed to reach the final of the European Championship, but the French have not enjoyed praise for a long time, and they are quite expecting the title. It's just that...... It's a pity that Deschamps' tactical ability is still a little bit worse. Although he was able to get the locker room in order, he still couldn't do it with the tactical arrangement. Benzema wasted a lot of opportunities in these two games, and in the last game Mavuba and this time Koscielny, they almost pitted the goalkeeper. That is, Lloris has been trained at Tottenham in the backline, otherwise it could have been worse. ”

"Indeed, Benzema is really unlucky, the opposite defender combination is Senderos and Juru, such a combination, it is simply up to send points, and he can't even take off the hat, and the penalty kick is also missed, and the last goal is the same as Giroud......" Liu Bo suddenly remembered something, "By the way, what do you say, what would Wenger think?" Watching Campbell and Olivier Giroud score, and then watching his former defenders so bad. ”

"Be happy, your team is getting better and better, how can you not be happy?" Lao Niu didn't know what to say, he originally wanted to tease Wenger, but he remembered that in the Spanish game a few days ago, seeing Cesc Fabregas being replaced, Wenger was speechless for a short time, he still changed his tone, "He should be happy, as a master of cultivating players, how can he not be happy when he sees young people playing well?" ”
