Chapter 497: Brutal Group Final Round
After the game, Li Chuanqi did not appear in the mixed interview area again, and he and the team doctor went to the hospital for a check-up.
The reporters waiting in the mixed interview area were very sorry.
Costa said in an interview: "I have fulfilled my wish by scoring my first goal in the World Cup, and I will continue to contribute to the team. ”
Speaking about Lee, Costa said: "For him, it's just normal operation and I don't feel any surprises. ”
Speaking about Li Chuanqi's injury, he said: "I don't think it's a big problem, of course it's right to be careful, I believe he will come back soon." ”
Iniesta said: "It wasn't a tough game, we withstood the test and got the result we wanted! Lee is important to us, that's for sure! ”

Xavi said: "We played very aggressively tonight and created a lot of scoring chances and we took them. We will prepare seriously for the match against Brazil and I am sure we will go further! ”
……
Group B drama ended, the Netherlands and Spain had the last laugh, and Chile finally went out after basically locking the promotion place, which can't help but make people sigh.
The French team newspaper believes that the biggest reason for Chile's elimination is too conservative: "Chile's tactics are conservative when it only needs a draw to qualify as the top of the group, while the Netherlands and Spain, who have no way out, raise the banner of attack, and in the end Chile is out, and the Netherlands and Spain qualify."
If Chile faces the Netherlands with a decisive mentality, they may be the ones who qualify! ”
Milan Sport believes that the Netherlands and Spain can make it to the performance of the two superstars: "Sneijder broke the deadlock, Robben helped the Netherlands to secure the top spot in the group, and the Netherlands were able to qualify for the knockout stage as group winners, which is inseparable from the superstars in the team.
The same was true for Spain, who opened the scoring for Spain in the first half, but a goal did not allow them to progress, so at the fifteenth minute of the second half, Bosque replaced Lee who had just returned from injury.
Lee showed his might after five minutes on the pitch, scoring his first World Cup goal with an inverted hook pass that gave Spain hope of qualifying.
Lee then created a penalty and scored it himself, allowing Spain to overtake Chile in the rankings and secure a place in the promotion.
In stoppage time, Lee scored his second goal of the game, his fifth of the tournament, and put an end to the suspense of promotion.
In such a crucial match, the superstars of the Netherlands and Spain stepped up and proved their worth! ”
The newspaper focuses on personnel changes: "Away from Casillas, Xavi and a host of Barcelona players, Bosque has made a drastic overhaul of the Spanish squad.
Bosque's adjustments proved to be successful, not only solidifying the defense, but also making a big difference in attack.
Casillas has lost his main place at Real Madrid, and Spain's five goals conceded in the first two games have a lot to do with his irregular performance, so it is normal to put him out of the starting lineup.
With the increase of age, Xavi's reaction and physical fitness have problems, which is the main reason why Barcelona has not won in domestic and international competitions in recent years.
In the 2-0 defeat to Chile, Xavi exposed serious problems and Bosque will be on the bench.
Xavi's ability is still there, but his fitness is no longer up to the level of intensity.
Getting more youngsters on the pitch has given Spain a dynamic squad, which was one of the main reasons for the big win over Australia.
Bosque is transforming the Spanish team and making the Spanish team younger, which is the right path. ”
Many media highly praised Li Chuanqi, believing that he carried the banner of Spain alone.
The Munich Sports Weekly said: "Is it a coincidence that Spain won two of the three group games and lost one, and the one that was lost happened to be in Lee's absence?
No, it's not a coincidence.
Spain, which is based on Barcelona's style of play, has long been thoroughly studied by the whole world, and Spain's victory over the Netherlands is so difficult, as evidenced by the 0-2 loss to Chile.
And Lee does not belong to Barcelona's passing control system, he can rely on his super ability to create killing opportunities and help the team win.
The whole world has studied Barcelona thoroughly, but Lee has not studied it thoroughly.
That's the main reason why Lee scored five goals and produced seven in two matches.
How far Spain can go depends on whether Lee can stay at the top of his game in every game! ”
The Times said: "After the game, Australian boss Postecoglou exclaimed, 'Lee is omnipotent!' Yes, Lee is indeed innumerable, in just over thirty minutes of play, he scored two goals and provided one assist to help Spain qualify for the tournament.
With such a brilliant report card in a limited amount of time, the new Ballon d'Or winner told the world that he deserved it!
Spain has won the promotion place with their own efforts, which is a gratifying thing, which comes from Lee's highlight performance. ”
……
