In the game against Argentina, the Hong Kong team, which played with an all-substitute lineup, lost without any suspense, and lost with a score of 0:3.

But judging by the scoreline, it should be a complete victory, but in fact it is not.

Argentina's first goal came in first-half stoppage time, when Gago met Gabimilito's long-range shot saved by goalkeeper Liang Xingjie and Aguero fired into the net.

Judging from the slow motion, this goal Aguero was fouled first, and it was scored after forcibly knocking down the Hong Kong team's starting lagging central defender So Weiquan, and the referee ruled that the goal was valid, which seemed to be suspected of favoritism.

Argentina's second goal came in the 30th minute of the second half, when Gago flicked it to Messi, who gave the ball to Sergio Aguero, who fired a powerful shot into the net.

The last goal came two minutes after the second goal, when Messi broke through the middle and then crossed the ball and Di Maria fired a powerful shot into the net from inside the box.

It is obvious to all that the Hong Kong team stubbornly persevered until the full game lasted more than 70 minutes, and there was a situation of physical exhaustion, and the opponent continued to penetrate the door.

With an all-bench lineup to be able to play like this, the Hong Kong team is enough to win respect.

By July 14, after the end of all the group stages, all the seats in the group stage will also be scheduled.

In the last round of Group A, Colombia defeated Bolivia 2:0, with Argentina both 1 win and 2 draws, Argentina became the first in the group with one more goal difference, Colombia second, and Hong Kong, China team 1 win, 1 loss and 1 draw ranked third, with a goal difference of minus 2.

In the last round of Group B, Brazil defeated Ecuador 4-2 and became the first in Group B with 1 win and 2 draws, while Venezuela defeated Ecuador 1-0 and drew Brazil and Paraguay in a row, also with 1 win and 2 draws, with a goal difference of 1, ranking second in the group, and Paraguay with three games and three draws. Finish third in the group with three points.

In the last round of Group C, Uruguay and Chile both defeated their opponents Mexico and Peru, Chile won 2 wins and 1 draw and accumulated 7 points to win the group, Uruguay won 1 win and 2 draws to finish second in the group, Peru won 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss accumulated 4 points and finished third in the group, with a goal difference of 0.

In the end, the two best third-place finishers were Hong Kong in Group A and Peru in Group C, with Paraguay unfortunately exiting.

According to the pre-match regulations, the results of the quarterfinals were finally discharged, and the final results were:

Argentina vs. Uruguay. Chile vs. Venezuela. Peru vs. Colombia. Hong Kong, China vs. Brazil.

Basically, after seeing the results of the match, the media all over the world thought that Hong Kong, China was dead, mainly depending on how many goals were conceded and when the final goal was conceded.

The quarter-finals are divided into two days. On July 17, Colombia will play Peru at 2 p.m., Argentina will play Uruguay at 6 p.m., Hong Kong, China will play Brazil in the afternoon of the next day, and Venezuela will play Chile in the evening.

The time is scheduled at two o'clock in the afternoon, which is not embarrassing or embarrassing, mainly to facilitate the jet-lag European live broadcast, for higher ratings and commercial value.

"Bang Bang!" Baggio clapped his hands, beckoned the players who had been resting for a while, and said, "It's still good to be complaining about it." In the 1994 World Cup in the United States, due to the time difference between the east and west coasts, several games were scheduled to be played at 12 o'clock at noon, which is like a joke, but in the face of commercial interests, many things need to be compromised! ”

There was a pause. Baggio said: "However, I tell you from the experience of a player who played in the '94 World Cup and experienced the kind of prime-time games that went against the body's biological clock, and it is precisely because of this kind of event arrangement that it will be more beneficial for us!" Think for yourselves about the science behind what I'm talking about! ”

After thinking about it, Chen Zhuo raised his hand to signal, and after getting Baggio's consent, he said: "The general principle I remember Rebecca told me, saying that first of all, if the sugar and fat content in people's lunches is too high, they will stimulate insulin and bile secretion, overwhelm the internal organs of the human body, and reduce the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood, resulting in a decrease in the oxygen content of the brain, making people easily tired, and over time, people will form a conditioned reflex, probably for this reason......"

“ok！ That's right! That's actually the real reason why people get sleepy after lunchtime! Why do I say it's better for us? Like saying, South American players have lived here for a long time, and they have formed a reflex for this time period, but for those of us who are not from South America, we will also have a small number of reflexes, but it is not insurmountable! ”

"Mmmm, that's right, don't eat potatoes, potatoes are high in starch, eating them at night will help you sleep, and eating them at noon will make you sleepy!" Rebecca said as she circled and sketched the recipe that Baggio had written.

"Chicken, fish and seafood contain tyrosine, which plays a decisive role in keeping the brain sharp in thinking, recalling and wakefulness, and these are the main side dishes, and green high-fiber vegetables such as peppers, carrots, spinach, etc., ensure that brain cells get enough oxygen to keep people energized all afternoon, these should also be paired......"

"In terms of staple food, you had better eat whole-wheat bread, eat pineapple, orange, lemon and other fruits with a lot of vitamins after a meal, you can also eliminate nervous system fatigue, bananas and sunflower seeds should not be eaten, these have the effect of inhibiting brain thinking, easy to cause drowsiness......"

"In the order of eating, eat meat first, then vegetables, and finally eat staple food, don't eat too much, before and between the game, in addition to eating fruit, you can also eat some whole wheat bread or chocolate to replenish energy......

Baggio said with satisfaction: "Very good! Also, Rebecca, remember the task I gave you, to find someone to print a huge banner to be placed in the stands of the two teams facing the goal in the name of protesting the impact on the good game for commercial gain, and also to put a ...... behind the bench of the Brazilian team."

The huge picture that Baggio is talking about is a huge portrait of yawning, hung up in the name of protesting the impact of a good game for commercial gain, which further stimulates the conditioned reflexes of Brazilian players and makes them have a physiological reaction, although I don't know what the reason is, but yawning is indeed contagious......

Hehe, this is also an important part of peripheral tactics!

In the two quarter-finals on the first day, Colombia was held to a 0-0 draw by Peru in 120 minutes, and Argentina and Uruguay played 1-1 in the final penalty kick. Group A: Colombia and Argentina both lost!

Seeing the huge protest image in the stands, Brazilian coach Menezes couldn't help but cover his mouth and yawn, for the sake of business interests, he can really give up anything!

Seeing the head coach's action, the players on the bench also yawned and stretched.

In Brazil's final squad for the Copa America, Santos, AC Milan and Inter Milan each have three players, the most of any club, while Barcelona and Chelsea have two players each.

Against the Hong Kong team, Menezes was not too careless, and the main players who were not injured were also all on the field.

The No. 1 goalkeeper is Cesar, who plays for Inter Milan. The back four are Inter Milan's McCone and Lucio. Thiago Silva, a centre-back with a minor injury, also started. Then there's Fenerbahce's Andre Santos, all of whom are big stars in big teams.

Among the midfielders, in addition to the "dream quartet" of Santos' Ganso and Neymar, AC Milan's Pato and Robinho, the two midfielders are Chelsea's Ramires and Liverpool's Lucas Leva.

Against Hong Kong. Menezes used a 4-2-3-1 attacking formation up front, with McCone and Andre Santos frequently providing assists from both flanks.

Of the 11 players, Pato, Robinho and Silva were Chen Zhuo's teammates at AC Milan, while Cesar, McCone and Lucio were also acquaintances who had played more than once on the pitch, with only Ganso, Neymar, Andre Santos, Ramirez and Lucas Leva meeting for the first time.

"Hi, welcome to the Premier League!" Lucas Leva exchanged pleasantries as he shook hands with Chen Zhuo.

"Don't get hurt, we'll deal with him together in the Premier League!" Ramirez, who immediately shook hands with Chen Zhuo, welcomed his new teammates.

"Don't rush back to China, wait for us to get together together!" Pato said with a smile.

"That's it! It's hard to make a trip. Let your coach go first, you wait for us for a few days......" Robinho also teased.

The words are like welcome, but they are actually full of provocations, and the relationship is also a relatively familiar reason.

"You went to play last night, your eyes are bloodshot!" Chen Zhuo whispered to Robinho.

"Really?" Apparently Robinho wasn't idle the night before the game. Otherwise he wouldn't have been stunned.

"Hey, hey! Don't be soft on your feet! Chen Zhuo had already shaken hands with the next player, still turning his head and teasing Robinho.

"Boy! Be careful! Lucio snorted viciously, he had been hit hard by Chen Zhuo with a ball in the Serie A field, and this arrow revenge has not yet been avenged.

"That's right, I actually ran away, what a coward!" McCone is also helping.

After shaking hands, Chen Zhuo turned his head to look at the players of the Brazilian team, and suddenly covered his mouth and yawned......

(g)

Affected by Chen Zhuo, players kept yawning one after another, and even the referee had the urge to yawn.

After forcing his bearing, the referee signaled to his assistant on the sidelines, and then blew the whistle to announce the start of the game.

Brazil kicked off first, perhaps due to the effect of the yawn before the kick-off, and the players were slow to get into the groove, and in the second minute, Marr's shot from 35 yards from the goal was weak and was broken out of the touchline by Rong Aping's big foot.

In the 5th minute, Robinho cut inside with the ball on the left side, and touched the ball to Ramirez, a defender inserted in the back row, who shot coldly in front of the penalty area, and the ball hit the plane again.

In the 7th minute, Pato burst into the left side of the penalty area and calmly knocked horizontally, Neymar fired a left-footed shot on the line of the penalty area, and the ball flew out above the lintel. In the 16th minute, Neymar's corner kick was blocked by goalkeeper Liang Xingjie's fists, and Thiago Silva's right-footed volley in front of the penalty area was blocked by Chen Zhuo and Lin Zhijian with his body.

Twenty minutes on, Brazil had just five shots on goal, but the midfield had made eight misguided passes, and it would not be too much to describe them as sleepwalking.
