Chapter 485: The first big upset of the World Cup in Brazil

The top 32 were all unveiled, giving people the feeling that the strong team was always strong, except for the defeat of the strong team in the strong dialogue, the other games basically did not expose the upset.

Won't this World Cup be an upset?

The media and fans don't think so, they think Spain is the underdog.

The Netherlands were beaten 4-3 in the first round, but the media and fans thought the Dutch team was better overall.

If it weren't for Li Chuanqi's supernatural performance, many media thought that the Dutch team would have won that game.

Now that Li Chuanqi is injured, who can take on the responsibility of scoring goals in Spain?

Costa?

Iniesta?

Or other players?

And defender Pique said goodbye to the World Cup in Brazil early due to injury, who can take on the responsibility of Spain's defense?

Spain's second opponent in the group is Chile, Chile can be regarded as playing at home, against such an opponent, Spain has a chance of winning?

The Spanish media is optimistic about Spain, as long as they can beat Chile, Spain can lock in a promotion place in advance, and there is no need to fight Australia in the final round.

"Bosque and his players know how important it is to play against Chile, so they also said they will go all out to win!"

"Our correspondent interviewed a number of Spanish players, and they all said they would take Chile seriously.

Xavi said, 'We've had serious injuries since the first game, but now the morale is high and we're going to win the second game!' ’

'Chile is a team to respect, all we have to do is do our best and if we play the football we want, we can get the results we want!' ’

Costa said: 'A lot of players have scored their first World Cup goal and I'm going to score my first World Cup goal soon, so Lee's absence has had a big impact on us, but we're confident we're going to qualify early!' ’

From the words of the players, we can see their strong self-confidence.

Spain's biggest problem now is the defensive end, having been penetrated three times by the Dutch in the opening game, which has fully demonstrated that Spain's defence is very problematic.

How far Spain can go in this World Cup will depend on whether they can solve the defensive problem.

The outside world thinks that Spain will lose to Chile in an upset, and we think that this is very unlikely, and the possibility of an upset is basically zero. ”

……

After the first round, the second round will start immediately.

After the first round of competition, the second round will be more intense, and the team that has made a good start will be hoping to get another victory and secure the qualification spot early.

The team that loses in the first round will have to fight to get the win and leave a glimmer of hope for qualification, and no one wants to get out early.

Brazil and Mexico both won the first round in Group A, with both teams looking to knock out their opponents and secure their places early.

At 4 p.m. on the 17th, the two teams started at the Fortale Sacaststrang Stadium, and after 90 minutes of fierce battle, the two sides ended with a score of 0-0.

Neither side was happy with the scoreline, and neither of them was able to secure a place in advance, giving hope to the other two teams.

Croatia seized the opportunity to beat Cameroon 4-0, and the African Lions lost both games, becoming the first team to exit the tournament early.

Croatian striker Mandzukic scored twice in this game and shone brightly, and was the main contributor to the victory.

Group A is over, and Group B is staged.

Spain's opponent in this round is Chile, and both teams have won their first round of matches, and whoever wins will be able to qualify early.

Li Chuanqi hung up the exemption card, Martinez replaced Pique and Ramos to start, and Pedro replaced Li Chuanqi and Costa and Iniesta to form a forward line.

Once the game began, Spain controlled the tempo with their strong overall strength, but they were slow to find the back of the net, and Chile's defensive counter-attack was impressive.

Chile took the lead in the 20th minute, Sanchez made a direct pass to Vidal on the right side, Arangis crossed from the right side of the penalty area, Vargas stopped the ball in front of the small penalty area and flashed past Casillas, and stabbed the empty goal before Ramos!

1 to 0!

Chile leads!

Chile extended the score in the 43rd minute, Alonso fouled Sanchez in front of the penalty area, Sanchez's free kick from 25 meters in front of the goal was saved by Casillas, and Arangis shot into the net with the outside of his instep!

Two to zero!

Chile extends its lead!

Chile entered the second half with a two-goal advantage.

At the start of the second half, Spain laid siege to Chile.

But whether it was Costa's shot in the box, Iniesta's long-range shot from outside the box, Xavi's free kick, could not knock on the door of the Chilean team!

After 90 minutes, Chile won with a score of 2-0, exposing the biggest upset of this World Cup!

With six points, the Chilean team basically locked in a qualifying place.

Spain's fate hangs by a thread.

The French newspaper commented: "You only know how important it is when you lose, Lee missed the match against Chile due to injury, and Spain highlighted the 'lack of a striker', with 20 shots on goal without scoring a goal!"

In fact, in the first game, Spain exposed the phenomenon of 'weak forward', if there was no Li Chaoshen's play, Spain would have been a defeat.

In addition to the problems on the offensive end, Spain's backline can be called the 'scene of a car accident', and under the counterattack of Chile, it collapsed!

Watching Costa and others waste opportunities again and again, Spanish fans miss Lee infinitely.

In an interview after the game, several Spanish fans said that if Lee had not been injured, Spain would have won.

Bosque also spoke about the issue in his post-match press conference, 'Lee's absence has had a big impact on our attack, and Spain are used to Lee and him scoring goals to help the team win.

When Lee wasn't in the lineup, they didn't know how to play......

Speaking about qualifying, Bosque believes that Spain still have a chance of qualifying, 'Just because Chile have six points doesn't mean they will qualify, as long as we win the last game, we can beat them.

So, I'm still optimistic about qualifying.

Lee is actively recovering, and he may make an early comeback! ’

Lee has now become a lifesaver for Bosque, can he really make an early comeback? ”

Spain loses, can the Netherlands seize their chances?

It is widely believed that there is nothing wrong with the Netherlands' victory over Australia.

An hour after Spain's two-goal defeat to Chile, the Netherlands played against Australia.

After 90 minutes of fierce battle, the Dutch team won 3-0 cleanly and won the first victory of this World Cup.

In the standings, Chile occupies the top spot with six points, the Netherlands and Spain are in second and third place with three points, and Australia has lost two points, becoming the second team to bid farewell to the World Cup in Brazil.

Spain will have to beat Australia by a last-ditch score if they want to qualify.

Because the Dutch team will definitely fight Chile, once the Netherlands wins, all three teams have six points, and they will have a goal difference.

Chile now have a goal difference of four, the Netherlands have a goal difference of zero and Spain have a minus one. Please keep in mind: Lily, URL mobile version PC version, Lily free fastest update no anti-theft no anti-theft.
