PS2: Let's talk about the book friend group here, the group number is three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, nine, verifies that the answer is NTR knight, well, that's it.

PS3: Here, I would like to thank the book friend for the reward of "frivolity and youth".

With the end of the group stage, this World Cup has officially entered the knockout stage, and the sixteen national teams that stood out in the group stage will fight each other in the next time to attack the Hercules Cup on the podium!

"Haha, I'm so lucky, I didn't expect our opponent in the round of 16 to be the Korean team!" After Portugal was eliminated from the competition, early the next morning, Totti, who was sitting at the table eating breakfast, said to Vieri and Inzaghi, who were dining at the same table with him, "With the defensive quality of the Korean team, they will never be able to prevent our attack...... Christian, your chance to break the record has come~"

"Don't underestimate it, Francisco." Because he is often divided into a group in national team training, Vieri and Totti are also very familiar, and he knows that he should be more cautious at this time, so he kindly reminded, "You know, even Portugal has fallen at their feet, which proves that they still have some strength." If Portugal's opponent at that time was replaced by a team like Saudi Arabia, they would have three fewer people, and Saudi Arabia might not be able to win against Portugal. ”

"Of course I know this~ That's right, the level of the South Korean team is indeed the first-class level in Asia, although their Football Association is a little shameless, but in terms of strength, it is much higher than Saudi Arabia and the like. But they did win Portugal by numbers, you can't deny that, right? ”

Totti said nonchalantly, waving a fork with a half-eaten foie gras sandwich stuck in it, "So, didn't they win Portugal by having two more players, what's so great about such a team?" Portugal is also really a waste, it can't hold without two people. If this is replaced by our Italy, let alone two less people to fight, even if it is three less, with the ability of the Koreans, it is simply whimsical to break our goal! ”

If Zhuang Mingge was here now, he would definitely tell Sù Totti very solemnly, you kid is right, under normal circumstances, South Korea is indeed not Italy's opponent, but people didn't plan to play well with you within the rules from the beginning, and there is such a referee as the eleventh person to save zài,

"I said you......" Vieri was about to use the example of the first group stage defeat to Croatia to correct Totti's somewhat overconfident attitude, but Inzaghi's sudden interjection interrupted his unspoken sermon, "Hey! Francisco, put your forks away for me! If you keep throwing it like this, half of your sandwich will fly into my cup! ”

"Ahaha, sorry, sorry......" Seeing that Inzaghi was right, Totti quickly stuffed the crumbling half of the sandwich into his mouth and said vaguely, "Well, Philip, I'm really sorry that I forgot to hold something in my hand when I was so excited." ”

"By the way, then again, after this breakfast, we are going to leave the city and move the training location to South Korea." Seeing that the original topic of discussion was interrupted by Inzaghi, Vieri, although he did not know his intention to do so, did not intend to bring the topic back to the discussion again, but brought up another matter.

"That's right, I think in a little while, someone should tell us to pack up and get ready to move positions." Inzaghi said, putting a piece of Kobe beef in his mouth, "The task now is to get enough nutrition, I heard that meat in South Korea is super expensive, and ordinary people even regard eating meat as a very luxurious thing...... I don't know if after we got there, we could only eat kimchi every day to live. ”

"Haha, Philip, you're really kidding." Vieri, who was laughing, slapped Inzaghi on the back, almost choking the latter who was tasting the delicious taste of authentic Kobe beef, "As far as I know, South Korea is a high-income country, with a per capita annual income of nearly $10,000, how can it not even afford to eat meat?" ”

"Tsk, you still don't believe it, but when you get there, you'll know if what I'm saying is true or not." Inzaghi swallowed the beef into his stomach and rolled his eyes at Vieri in disdain before moving on to another steak. After all, Kobe beef is famous, but it is produced in very small quantities, so it is almost always sold only in Japan. Therefore, if you don't take this opportunity to eat more, Inzaghi, as a high-end foodie, will regret it for the rest of his life.

It wasn't until Vieri arrived in South Korea and found that a pound of beef could be sold for nearly $20, and a bowl of noodles without a few pieces of meat could sell for a pound of beef, that he no longer bothered with Inzaghi about the issue.

Then, Vieri and others complained about the organizer's schedule. They didn't understand why the organizers would arrange the schedule in such a way that a team that had played three group games in Japan would go to South Korea to play the next knockout round......

I don't know if the organizers deliberately arranged the schedule, after entering the knockout stage, if Italy can win consistently, then almost all of their next matches will be played in South Korea. As a result, it was not so suitable for the Football Association to place the national team's training ground in Osaka, so it had to choose to move to Seoul in order to prepare for the next games.

After all, South Korea and Japan are two countries after all, and they are not as close as Belgium and the Netherlands, and a 180-kilometre-wide Korean Strait is enough for the players to taste what it means to be tired.

As a result, the Italian internationals had to reluctantly bid farewell to the enthusiastic Japanese fans and their camp in Osaka, and went to Seoul, the capital of South Korea (renamed Seoul in 05), where they re-found a training and accommodation venue to prepare logistics for the team's next knockout stage, so as not to affect the state of the players due to long-distance travel.

Just as Italy moved their position from Osaka to Seoul, the World Cup quarterfinals were also burning under the watchful eyes of the fans!

The match between Germany and Paraguay will be played at 2:30 p.m. on June 15, and the highlight will be the direct dialogue between Kahn and Chilavert, and the performance of these two legendary goalkeepers in the game will have a direct impact on the final result!

In other words, who emerges victorious after 90 minutes between Germany and Paraguay will largely depend on who can play better this afternoon!
