Before the 2002 World Cup, the Chinese Football Association had put forward three progressive requirements for the Chinese team that entered the World Cup for the first time.

"Score a goal, get a point, win a game."

In the end, the Huaguo team returned in vain, which is extremely regrettable.

Before the Chinese national team went to the tournament this time, the minimum goal under the Chinese national football agreement was to qualify from the group, and the leaders of the Football Association believed that the Chinese national team is now very strong, and it is not a problem to qualify from the group.

However, the Chinese team drew the group of death, and the weakest team in the group, Ivory Coast, will be difficult to deal with, let alone the Netherlands and England.

After the draw with Ivory Coast, the result of another match was also revealed.

The Netherlands and England had a big battle, with both teams at their best, and in the end, the Netherlands won 2-1 against England thanks to a brace from Robin van Persie. Wayne Rooney hit the post in the last minute and missed a brace to face the tragedy of defeat.

After the second round of the group stage, the qualification for Group D is still uncertain.

The Dutch, who have won both games, have already qualified from the group and are at the top of the table with six points.

England lost to the Netherlands, but they won Ivory Coast in the first round and finished second in the group with three points.

Next is Huaguo and Ivory Coast, both teams are one draw and one loss with 1 point, and with the same goal difference between the two teams, Huaguo is third in the group with the advantage of goals.

In the last group game, it is still difficult to say what the situation will be.

If the Netherlands don't lose to Ivory Coast and England don't lose to China, then England will finish second in the group.

If Ivory Coast wins in an upset, England can also qualify if they win, and if England draw with Huaguo, they will have to win on goal difference.

The situation that the Chinese team is facing now is that they must win against England, and then Ivory Coast cannot win yet, so that the Chinese team can qualify from the group.

Before the third group game, Chinese fans once again turned into mathematicians and began to analyze the situation of the Chinese team.

At the São Paulo Arena on June 25, the Chinese team ushered in a life-and-death battle with the England team.

The game was tougher than expected, as England also needed a win to secure qualification from the group.

Both teams were well-balanced today, with England fielding the standard 4-4-2 formation, which is the traditional formation for England. Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard led the way in midfield, with Wayne Rooney and Danny Welbeck starting the line-up, with Joe Hart, who has been in excellent form this season.

On the side of the Chinese team, Gao Bo once again chose conservative tactics. He also lined up 4-4-2, but this time he listened to some of Yun Sheng's advice, starting with Yu Hai and Dong Fangzhuo starting in the front, Chen Tao, Wang Chuhe, Zheng Zhi and Zhou Haibing in midfield, and Jiang Zhipeng, Zhang Linpeng, Feng Xiaoting and Zhang Chengdong in the backline.

Most of the players in both teams today are all playing in the Premier League, not to mention the England team, Chen Tao, Wang Chuhe, Jiang Zhipeng, Feng Xiaoting and many other players of the Huaguo team are playing in the Premier League, and Yu Hai and Dong Fangzhuo are Manchester United combinations. The fact that the strikers of both teams were all from Manchester United today was an interesting part of the game.

After the game started, the two teams did not press too quickly, first probing and then trying to attack. However, the midfield did not press too high to prevent the opponent's counterattack.

That didn't change until the 31st minute.

Yu Hai dribbled up front and was brought down by Manchester United team-mate Chris Smalling to win a free-kick.

At a position about 28 meters away from the goal, Chen Tao made a wonderful World Cup free kick and hung in the dead corner of the goal!

Joe Hart barely reacted at all!

1 to 0! The Huaguo team took the lead and they saw the hope of victory!

However, before the end of the first half, it was also a free kick opportunity, and Gerrard's powerful burst shot went straight to the corner of the goal! Zeng Cheng couldn't do anything about this shot......

1 to 1! England equalised!

The referee's whistle blew and the first half was over.

The players of both teams who walked off the field first asked the coaching staff.

"What was the result of the other game?"

"The Netherlands are 3-0 ahead of Ivory Coast."

Both teams breathed a sigh of relief from this result.

Can Ivory Coast score three goals in the second half?

The odds are extremely unlikely.

For England, as long as they can keep this draw until the end, they are almost certain to qualify from the group.

For the Chinese team, as long as they score another goal and regain the lead in the score, then the Chinese team will be able to overtake England and grab the group qualifiers.

At the beginning of the second half, the general Huaguo found that the England team had changed formations!

England coach Roy Hodgson turned 4-4-2 into 5-4-1 because he learned about the other game!

Veteran John Terry replaced Welbeck and the team began to retreat across the board, leaving Rooney alone!

John Terry had retired from the national team after Euro 2012 but he returned for the World Cup, earning a valuable three points with his header in the first game.

Now Hodgson has brought John Terry on the pitch in the hope that he can use his excellent experience to solidify the team's defense and ensure that he does not concede a goal in the second half.

Seeing this situation, Yun Sheng couldn't take care of it anymore, and he gave Gao Bo advice as soon as possible.

Decisively change the formation back to 4-3-3! Attack with all your might!

Gao Bo didn't change formation right away, he was thinking.

Now the situation of the Huaguo team on the field is good, and even pressed the England team to play for a time, Gao Bo hopes to maintain this state, in case the team attacks with all its might, the possibility of conceding the goal is greater, and then there is no possibility of qualifying at all.

Yun Sheng on the sidelines was in a hurry, and there was no way.

England's defense is very solid, even though Chen Tao, Dong Fangzhuo, and Yu Hai tried their best, they still failed to overtake.

It wasn't until the 75th minute of the game that Gao Bo made substitution adjustments.

replaced Feng Xiaoting and Zhou Haibing, and replaced Wu Lei and Yu Dabao.

On the England side, with Frank Lampard off and Jordan Henderson on the side, Liverpool's two generations of midfield stars formed the England defensive barrier and continued to defend with all their might.

Time has passed minute by minute, and it has now come to 85 minutes.

Wu Lei's shot was saved by Joe Hart again, and the attacking group of the Chinese team has completely fallen into the dense defense of the England team.

Time went on, and the Chinese team made a final effort.

At this time, Wang Chuhe also pressed up, in front of the penalty area, he came to a curling ball and shot a long shot, this time Joe Hart made a full save, trying to keep the goal from losing.

Although "seeing Hart come to kick", the England goalkeeper almost did not give the Chinese players any chance to score from a distance today.

Two minutes later, Zheng Zhi's burst shot was also punched out by Joe Hart, Terry cleared the ball with a big foot, and Rooney's counterattack was destroyed by Zhang Linpeng, shocking the Chinese fans in the stands in a cold sweat.

Not only did he not score, but he was almost attacked.

Now it's stoppage time.

Li Feixiang said the most helpless words bitterly.

"There is not much time left for the Chinese team......"
