Group G of the World Cup kicked off, but a dull game poured out the hearts of the fans before the game, and Portugal and Ivory Coast ended 0-0, a result that made the prospect of qualifying for the Group of Death even more uncertain.

Portugal, which was originally considered to be more advantageous, suffered a lot of setbacks on the African continent, and the Ivory Coast team dominated the whole game, and the individual ability of the players, whether it was physical fitness or individual skills, completely overwhelmed Portugal's stars, and the attack on the two flanks completely suppressed the Portuguese.

Unfortunately, Ivory Coast's weaknesses are also a common problem for African teams, with players who are capable of individual but more expressive, often falling into a one-man situation in the attacking front, which can only be resolved by the Portuguese.

Throughout the game, the Ivorian attacking players showed their good skills to break through and pass people, but they lacked ideas and ways to tear apart the opponent's defense in the attack, and could not play effective tactical cooperation, so they only blossomed and failed to score. Although Drogba played an obvious role after coming on the field, he also could not receive the pass from his teammates in the penalty area and could not exert his maximum energy.

On the other hand, the Portuguese team, their team and style of play are also unformed, attacking the opponent's front, still lacking transmission and tactical coordination, facing the fierce up-and-coming Ivory Coast defenders, who have excellent judgment of the landing point, the Portuguese can't find a good way to threaten the opponent's goal.

A draw, the Ivorians should be satisfied, but there is one person who seems very disappointed, and that person is Ivorian coach Eriksen.

Before the start of the match between Ivory Coast and Portugal, Eriksen likened the match to a "final", and the reason for this is that when he was in charge of England, Eriksen was blocked by Portugal at Euro 2004 and the 2006 World Cup, losing twice in a row.

This time Eriksen fell again in front of fate, and Ivory Coast unfortunately drew 0:0 with Portugal in the case of a last-minute siege, so that Eriksen, who is a world famous coach, has been tripped by the same stone for the third time.

Looking back at the record of the confrontation between Eriksen and the Portuguese team when he was in charge, it can indeed only be described as "embarrassing". In the 2004 European Championship, Portugal and England played 2:2 in 120 minutes, who expected that Beckham missed the first round of penalties in the penalty shootout, and then Portugal goalkeeper Ricardo took off his gloves in the seventh round of penalty shootouts and saved Vassell penalty kick to help Portugal win 6:5.

In 2006, the two teams met again in the World Cup, as a result, Rooney was sent off in the game, the two sides drew within 120 minutes, and in the penalty shootout, the "England nemesis" Ricciardo once again concocted the same method, saving Lampard, Gerrard and Carragher's penalty kicks successively, and England bitterly "two out of the palace" in tears.

This time it has long been different, the original Portuguese coach Scolari has already changed his name to Queiroz, and the goalkeeper also has a "bitter hand" Ricardo has become Eduardo.

And Eriksen also left the England coach, to Mexico "a trip", into the star-studded African elephant Ivory Coast team, the number one star from the impulsive Rooney, to the violent aesthetic striker Drogba, who expected, Eriksen's invincible Portugal fate continued.

Truth be told, Ivory Coast performed better than the strong team Portugal, and dominated the whole game, and at the last moment, under the leadership of Drogba, the African elephants once formed a siege, but the luck was too bad.

The other match in the group features world champions Brazil taking on Asian newcomers North Korea, marking the first meeting between the two sides at the World Cup.

The North Korean team waited 44 years for this match, and in 1966 at Middlesbrough, North Korean player Park Doo-yi scored a goal to help the team defeat Italy and advance to the last eight, which is still in front of every North Korean player's eyes.

As a striker who also destroyed the city for the North Korean team, Zheng Dae-se's sense of mission drove him to stand on the World Cup field, and before the game, he also said in an interview that he would let the world know the real North Korea through the World Cup, and their goal in this game is to beat Brazil.

Perhaps it was infected by this great goal, when the two sides raised the national flag and played the national anthem before the game, the "people's Rooney" Zheng Dashi burst into tears when singing the national anthem, and this scene was also captured by TV.

As the most "seen in the world" player in the team, Zheng Dashi, who frequently broke the news before the game, was so excited that it was really dumbfounded, and perhaps he also became the most fierce person who cried when raising the national flag in the 70-year history of the World Cup.

I don't know if the Brazilian defenders on the side have seen this unprecedented scene in the history of the World Cup, for the Brazilian team, there is no opponent worthy of their fear in the World Cup, but now standing in front of them is a fighter who has ignited the entire small universe.

The score was 0-0 at half-time, and before the start of the game, who would have thought that after the first 45 minutes, it would be this result?

This is not the first time North Korea have participated in the World Cup, but their players cherish the opportunity to show themselves to the world, and the actions of the North Korean players on the field also show that they are willing to do their best for the bright red jersey on their bodies.

The world was amazed by the scramble, and time passed little by little in the insistence of the North Koreans, and Brazil coach Dunga began to become impatient.

In the first 45 minutes, although the North Korean team was inferior, it was not completely suppressed, and it also formed a few dangerous shots, which proved that against Brazil, North Korea really did not really lend much.

This can't help but recall the scene of the 2002 World Cup, when the Chinese team met the Brazilian team, Milou's national team was one of the best in the history of national football, but in front of the Brazilian team, they only held up for 16 minutes before being pierced by Carlos' free kick.

Of course, Brazil's attacking power was hard to match Dunga's side, but even so, North Korea's performance was enough to earn respect.

But in the second half, the difference in strength was finally revealed, McCone broke the deadlock in the 55th minute, then Elano extended the score in the 73rd minute, and the North Korean team pulled a goal back in the final moments of the game by Ji Yoon-nam, and despite the loss, after 44 years, the 45 minutes of the North Korean team's appearance in the World Cup still left a deep impression, and the mysterious division was unveiled, which really surprised the world.

The next day, the Group H match was also in full swing, with Chile convincingly beating Honduras 1-0 to give Bielsa the back of the World Cup after eight years.

In the 2002 South American qualifiers for the World Cup in South Korea and Japan, Bielsa led Argentina to the first place and qualified from the South American zone, and Argentina was also regarded as the biggest favorite to win the World Cup.

However, in the group stage, Argentina defeated Nigeria 1:0, lost 0:1 to England, and drew 1:1 with Sweden, and finally failed to qualify from the group.

In 2007, Bielsa took over the Chilean team, and in the South American qualifiers for this World Cup, the Chilean team beat Paraguay, Argentina and Uruguay to qualify for the second place in South America, and there is no doubt that Bielsa played a decisive role in this.

Bielsa's coaching style has always been to hold high the banner of attacking football, and his style of play is very good, and his six years in charge of Argentina, Argentina has insisted on playing gorgeous football for six years, which has attracted countless fans.

On the battlefield in South Africa, the Chilean team, led by Bielsa, delivered a gorgeous offensive football to fans all over the world, and Bielsa finally proved himself in the World Cup.

The Chilean team played an impassioned pure attack in this game, Bielsa's crazy attacking concept was continued here, and the passionate era of Salas and Zamorano reappeared, of course, it is now replaced by a new generation of young kings Sanchez and Bocejour, especially Sanchez's right breakthrough, once his breakthrough power explodes, it is enough to stir up the left side of Honduras to falter.

Although the result of the game was a narrow one-goal victory, Chile proved to the world that they are also capable of conquering the world.

Next up is Spain and Switzerland, from the perspective of personnel strength and value, it is a completely unequal duel, but football is not only players, but also tactics, at the level of the head coach, Swiss coach Heathfield and Spain's Bosque competition, is also amazing, and the winner, this time Heathfield.

It was Heathfield's first time coaching the national team and his first time standing on the World Cup stage as a coach.

During his tenure at the club, Heathfield led Borussia Dortmund to Champions League glory in 1997 and Bayern Munich to another Champions League title in 2001. After Euro 2008, Heathfield opted to coach Switzerland, which eventually helped them qualify for the World Cup.

In the first match of the World Cup, Switzerland met the European runners-up Spain, and finally the Swiss team defeated Spain on the African continent far from Europe, and the hero of the game was not only the 11 Swiss fighters on the field, but also Heathfield off the field.

Heathfield's side defended well throughout the game, leaving Spain helpless, unable to penetrate the middle or attack from the wings, unable to break through the Swiss defence.

Spain used their strong midfield ability to control the ball but were unable to create plenty of clear chances from 30 yards away from the Swiss goal.

In attack, Heathfield let his players avoid the Spanish midfield, attacking the Spanish goal in the most direct way, and finally an accidental, or inevitable, long ball attack, tore open the central defensive line of Pique and Puyol, and finally broke the door of Casillas in the chaos.

Heathfield's first World Cup performance was the biggest upset since this World Cup, and the German iron coach added passion and magic to the dull World Cup.

It is safe to expect that Heathfield and his young, fearless Swiss team will bring even greater magic to the fans in the following games.

Spain's debut on South African soil failed, and there was an element of inevitability, and the most fatal point of the loss was that Xavi was controlled by the Swiss.

In the Spanish national team, there is no clearer thing than who is at the heart of the national team, and despite the star-studded Spanish team and its emphasis on collectivism, there is only one leader in the Spanish team when the ball appears, and that leader is Xavi.

Aragonés builds the team around Xavi, and once Xavi gets the ball, the opponent has to surrender. Bosque came, but the idea of the national team's tactics with Xavi at the core not only did not change, but in fact deepened, and now, Xavi's leadership position in the Spanish team is becoming more and more obvious.

If Xavi plays at his level, Spain can play at his level, which is why Bosque constantly emphasises Xavi's importance in the team.

Bosque asked the team to rally around Xavi, and the Spanish players were willing to focus on Xavi to help him, protect him and enjoy his contribution at the same time.

But it's one thing to be willing, it's another thing to be able to do it, in this game, as Xavi's "bodyguard" Busquets, didn't do enough to protect Xavi, Heathfield copied the tactics used in the 2008 European Cup Belgium vs. Spain final in the game, the back midfield, staring at Xavi, Belgium was only half the success at that time, because Xavi was protected by Senna and Alonso at that time, this time there was less Senna, and instead of Busquez, he obviously failed to complete the task well, And he also bears some responsibility for the goals conceded by the team.

Due to Busquets's lack of protection for Xavi, the latter was targeted by the Swiss team's tight defense, so that the responsibility of the Spanish team's midfield organization fell more to Alonso alone, which is also one of the reasons for the poor performance of the Spanish team.

At Euro 2008, Senna, Xavi and Alonso kept Spain's midfield in order, but due to age injuries, Senna was replaced by Sergio Busquets, but the lack of experience of the Barcelona youngster was also a major flaw in the Spanish squad.

Sergio Busquets' World Cup debut ended in failure, and his lack of decisiveness led to Spain's goal conceded, and he was not as good as he could have been in defence and attack, and now Spanish fans may be starting to miss Senna.
