"Senna, long pass...... On the right, Poborski got the ball. ”

On June 16, 2002, the Shijie Cup Round of 16 was eliminated. The Czech Republic are in Group B of the Shijie Cup, along with Paraguay, South Africa and Slovenia. Although the Czech Republic only won the Shijie Cup place through the play-offs in the Shijie Cup qualifiers, its strength should not be underestimated. In this group, they completely stood out from the crowd, and finally passed the group stage with two wins and one draw.

Although history has changed a lot, France, the biggest favorite before the Shijie Cup, is still sinking. The heat is going to die, and it's even more so in the shijie cup. In the past few years, the Shijie hegemon French team was wiped out in the group stage of the Shijie Cup. Of course, France is gone, which is a good thing for the Czechs. After all, France is too powerful, even more powerful than Brazil. It's just that such a strong favorite team as France was eliminated, which surprised many people.

The Czech Republic topped Group B and met Group E runners-up Ireland. It was a very good draw for the Czech Republic. Ireland were very tenacious in the group stage of this Shijie Cup, drawing with Germany and Cameroon in succession to reach the round of 16. Ireland's squad isn't too bad, with the majority of their players playing in the Premier League. Their strongest should be their forward line, which is Quinn and Robbie. Keane.

Needless to say, Quinn is the most famous centre-forward player in the Premier League. He and Kevin. Phillips' partner has once shocked the Premier League and made many Premier League defenders fearful. And Robbie. Keane is a young representative of English football, already 13 million pounds at the age of 20.

But it's famous. But their combination isn't that strong. Quinn was once the best centre-forward in the Premier League, and there are very few defenders in the Premier League who can compete with this high striker. Especially when it comes to headings, Quinn is the best, and even central defenders like Campbell, Adams and Rio Ferdinand are reluctant to face Quinn. It's a pity that it was Quinn back then, and now Quinn will soon be thirty-six years old. The body has dropped too much, and it is already the age of retirement. There is no longer the physical strength and body of the year.

As for Robbie. Keane did rise to fame at a young age, but at the age of twenty he went to Inter at a high price, and instead wasted a year there. Although he has done well recently back to Leeds United, he has not returned to that stage.

Plus Ireland's biggest and most powerful Roy. Keane did not make the Shijie Cup squad because of his discord with Ireland's head coach McCarthy. Ireland now relies on a holistic approach to play.

It's a pity for the Czech Republic. Ireland is really the most haode opponent. Ireland's players are of a similar level. This is especially true of their backline. Like O'Brien and Gary. Brin is not the best player, but he is also a Premier League-level centre-back. And Gary. Kelly and Ian. Hartko is Leeds' main full-back.

The strength is very good, but they all have their own problems. Gary. Kelly was seriously injured and in no better physical condition than he was back then. And Ian. Hart's biggest problem is that he can't do it with speed.

Ian. Hart defends well, passes the ball better and of course has a good free-kick. But his biggest problem is that he can't have explosiveness and speed. And this loophole was held right by Brückner. Pobosky is already thirty years old. At the peak of his career. The body, jishu, and experience are all at their peak.

After receiving a pass from Senna. First, stop the ball. Wait until Ian. When Hart stepped forward. Pobosky suddenly started. Although Pobosky is not as fast as Irving, Dyer and later Walcott and Bale, he is also a speedy wide player. His blistering breakthroughs on the flanks have always been his magic weapon. Compared to the small jishu, speed is his strength.

This time was no exception. When Pobosky got up to speed, Ian. Hart couldn't keep up. Ian. Hart's explosiveness and speed weren't strong suits. Now that I ran into Pobosky, of course, I was at a loss.

"Poboski, Ian. Hart couldn't keep up with Pobosky. Pobosky is already in the past, and no one can stop Pobosky. Poboski, cross. ”

Poboski is a player with a lot of interesting history. No matter how well he plays at the club, he is alive and well as soon as he arrives in the national team. And the more he gets to the shijie tournament, the better his performance becomes. As long as he can participate in the Shijie competition, he can basically enter the best team of the competition, which is not easy.

"Kohler, Jan Kohler. Jankoller, head at goal! ”

The Czechs played as a lone striker, that is, Jankole was at the front. Youngkoller, now twenty-nine, is just as good as he was a few years ago. Even better than him. Because Jan Kohler has more championships than Quinn, he surpasses him a lot in confidence.

Poboski and Jankole have been partners in the national team for almost five years and are very familiar with each other. Jankoller was familiar with Poboski's cross, so when Poboski crossed, Jankohler ran to the front post. Face Gary. Bryn's defense, Jankoller took the lead with a direct header on goal.

"Jankoller's header was liliang and the distance was too short. Given's couldn't save the ball! ”

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！”

"Just fourteen minutes into the first half, the Czechs took a 0-0 lead over Ireland thanks to Jankoller's header. Although the Czech Republic entered the Shijie Cup through the play-offs, they performed well in the Shijie Cup. Ireland did well in the group stage, but they were not strong enough. Once the game began, the Czech Republic had an absolute advantage. ”

The moment Jankoller scored, both Rist and Merkley stood up and applauded. The reason why Obst was ousted was because he failed to enter the European Championship, and for the young Merkley, the better the Czech Republic performs in this Shijie Cup, the better his results will be, and the more secure his position will be. Looking at the way it stands, the Czech Republic should be able to beat Ireland and reach the quarter-finals. The quarterfinals of the Shijie Cup are already very good results for the Czech Republic.

For Rist, it's a different story. The better the Czech Republic performs in the Shijie Cup, the more money Rister will be able to make. It's just that the Czech Republic has not encountered a substantial strong team so far, and the gold content of entering the quarterfinals is not very high. But it's better to be in the quarterfinals than not to be in the quarterfinals.

"Barwell, we have good luck in the Korea-Japan Shijie Cup this time."

Rist stood up and clapped as he smiled at Merkley. Merkley also nodded. It's good luck that I haven't met a strong team so far.

"Lister, any champion on Shijie is accompanied by strength. It is impossible to win any major without luck. ”

"Yes."

Rist thinks so. And just as the two of them were laughing and chatting, suddenly there was a huge cheer on the court again. Rist and Merkley were stunned for a moment, and looked down at the fact that the Czechs had scored another goal just twenty-three seconds after kick-off.

The goal was scored by Borg, who started in place of Nedved. Borg is the most talented player in the Czech '96 golden generation, surpassing the likes of Nedved, Poboski and Smitchell. It's a pity that Borg was ill-fated and came to the most powerful Dortmund, and he couldn't get any chance to play. Finally entered Liverpool with the performance of Euro 96.

He started well at Liverpool and Liverpool fans loved Borg a lot. Unfortunately, his relationship with Liverpool manager Evans soon deteriorated and he began to become a substitute again. It wasn't until Houllier arrived at Liverpool that he began to be taken seriously. Houllier has said that Borg is the most haode left midfielder in Shijie football.

Nedved also gave Borg back to the bench that year. It's a pity that such a talented Borg has had too many injuries and has not been able to achieve the desired results. This is the knockout round of the Shijie Cup, and it turns out that it is not his turn to play. However, Nedved's ankle hurt during training, and although it was not a big problem, Brückner still let Borg play for the sake of conservatism.

Borg lived up to expectations. Just after Ireland kicked off, Senna was tackled before he could advance. Senna has been the Czech international's best performer since he entered the Shijie Cup this time. From the group stage, Senna was so good in midfield that it even overshadowed Rosicky's brilliance. Of course, it is also because the opponent is too weak, which causes Senna to frequently insert forward.

Senna passed the ball straight to Borg on the left. Borg faced Kelly on the left and after a few wobbles he lifted his foot to shoot from an average angle. With a golden left foot, Borg is the most powerful left-footed player in the Czech golden generation. This heavy artillery went down, and Givens couldn't stop it.

"Two to zero, two to zero. Borg's shot left Givens helpless. Although Ireland were very tenacious in the group stage, it can be seen from this game that their strength is still very flawed. If Roy. Keane is in midfield and will not let Ireland's midfield be so passive. ”

"Coach McCarthy was wrong, he didn't take Roy. Keane, ruined this hopeful Ireland. ”

"McCarthy should be out of class."

The commentators in Ireland were very unhappy. Compared to McCarthy, for Irish football, Roy. Keane is the real star. McCarthy didn't take Roy. Keane, Irish football was in an uproar. Now seeing the Irish midfielder completely crushed by the Czechs, they miss Roy even more. Keane.

"Won. We won. ”

After Borg's goal, Rist and Merkley were both completely relaxed. Because the Czech Republic is about to be the quarterfinals of the Shijie Cup. (To be continued......)
