Football No. 10: God's Perspective

Chapter 88 Knockout Round, Australia

Two consecutive wins in the group stage, the national football team's record is eye-catching.

Before the Asian Cup, some media joked that the national football team has three battles in each competition: the opening match, the life-and-death match, and the honor match.

Some media even used the headline "The national football team may be embarrassed by not winning in the Asian Cup", which attracted people's attention and made a thorough analysis of the three opponents in the group stage.

The current record is enough to silence all doubts.

The national football team immediately rushed to the front page of domestic media.

Whether it is related to the sports sector or not, the media rushed to report.

For a time, the public opinion environment faced by the national football team in China can be said to be the best in the past ten years.

Finally, they can be proud of themselves.

The two consecutive wins have whetted everyone's appetite, and many people have begun to have high expectations for this national football team.

Some media even wrote articles, starting to imagine the opponents after qualifying from the group, with titles such as "Three consecutive wins? Why not?" "Stepping over the Australian kangaroos, aiming for the championship"

Blind confidence and exaggeration make people fall into an impetuous atmosphere.

But calm down and think about it, does this national football team really have the strength to impact the championship?

List the opponents who have the strength to compete for the championship in this Asian Cup.

Japan and South Korea are in the same tier, with many European players. Needless to say, their personal abilities are one of the biggest favorites in this tournament with advanced strategies and tactics.

Iran is the undisputed strongest among the West Asian giants. Its height, strong body and tight defense are the most prominent features of this Persian cavalry.

Of course, another favorite to win the championship is the host Australia.

This team from Oceania that has been incorporated into the Asian Football Confederation not only has outstanding European players, but also because of its racial advantage, it is more ferocious than Iran in terms of physical strength, and its strength should not be underestimated.

Of course, it is too early to imagine the opponents in the knockout stage now. The first thing to prepare is the third round of the group stage.

The opponent of the Chinese national football team in the third round is the North Korean team.

The strength is only stronger than the opponents in the first two rounds of the group stage. After all, this is a team that participated in the World Cup finals last year. The tears of player Zheng Da Shi when the national anthem was played at the World Cup arena are still unforgettable. This is a supreme honor to represent the motherland.

Wang Po is full of respect for this. If he were to stand on the stage of the World Cup wearing the national team jersey, he would probably be unable to hold back his tears.

This sense of pride is incomparable to any honor and any temptation.

Facing such an excellent team, the Chinese national football team, which has won two consecutive victories, did not give up the pace of victory.

It was still Wang Po who stood up and decided the outcome with a free kick of unbeatable quality, knocking on the goal of the North Korean team.

The Chinese national football team finally united as one and defended the victory of this goal.

The 1-0 victory over the North Korean team achieved three consecutive victories in the group stage.

At the same time, the opponents of the national football team in the knockout stage also appeared. In the last round of the group stage, the host of another group, Australia, was defeated and finally ranked second in the group. They will compete with the national football team for a qualifying spot.

The real test is here.

The Australian team can be said to have the advantage of time, place and people.

Although the national football team won three consecutive victories in the group stage, the opponents in the knockout stage are obviously a level higher.

Moreover, looking back at the national football team's group stage journey, the three consecutive victories are watery. There are reasons for the poor state of the opponents, and there are also very good luck, such as the Saudi team's penalty kicks, and the magical no loss of the ball against the Uzbekistan team.

Looking at the three performances of the national football team, is there anything outstanding about the offensive and defensive system? In fact, there is nothing outstanding.

On the contrary, because of Wang Pei's inspiration, many teams are not familiar with this new national football player and suffered some losses. All factors led to the national football team's three consecutive victories.

Facing such a strong enemy, head coach Perrin, as usual, prepared the pre-match arrangements in an orderly manner.

Tim Cahill is an absolutely dangerous figure in the Australian team. He is the top star. He is 1.78 meters tall. He does not have outstanding physical conditions among forwards, but his core strength is extremely strong. His famous skill is his elusive header. Whether in England or Asia, he is at the top level.

This player is definitely a player that the Chinese national team must be careful of in this game.

Perrin also emphasized the defense of Tim Cahill.

An interesting scene happened at the press conference one day before the game.

When the reporter asked whether they were fully prepared for this knockout match.

The Australian coach showed a disdainful smile and said, "In the Chinese national team lineup, you only need to be careful to defend Wang Pei, and you can easily eliminate the Chinese national team. Moreover, I think the level of the Chinese national team is not enough to support them to stand on the stage of the knockout match."

As soon as this was said, there was an uproar, and the domestic media exploded.

The arrogant words of the Australian coach aroused public anger.

Arrogant and conceited old man.

The fans, who were already overwhelmed by the victory, greeted the Australian coach cordially, and the fans of both sides had a seesaw war of words on the Internet.

Later that day, the Australian coach who was at the center of the storm was interviewed again.

"If I had a player like Wang Po, I would even have the confidence to lead this Australian team to the semi-finals in the European Cup."

The words were mixed with love for Wang Po.

...

"Coach, can I be in the starting lineup for this game? After all, the Australian team is very strong and is among the best in Asia. It is not comparable to Saudi Arabia, North Korea, and Uzbekistan in the group stage."

After the preparation meeting the day before the game, Wang Po found the head coach Perlan and expressed his thoughts.

Hearing this, Perrin's brows knitted together, looking very unhappy, and said in a bad tone, "It's my head coach's decision to arrange the formation. Are you influencing me?"

"No, no, I think you misunderstood. I have always respected you." Wang Po quickly explained, "I just think that the Australian team as the host is definitely a super terrible opponent. We cannot take it lightly. Once they are opened by them, The consequences could be disastrous."

Perrin shook his head, "No, I think you are drifting now. You think you can be above the head coach after scoring a few goals in the group stage. Let me tell you, this is impossible and I will not allow it. No. Being coerced by you."

Obviously, Wang Po's meaning was misinterpreted by Peilan.

"I……"

Wang Po also wanted to say, but was interrupted by Perlan, "Okay, I might as well tell you that I put you on the bench because I don't think you are suitable for the offensive system I built, and I think you are not physically fit enough. To support the whole audience, as for the rest, you just have to obey the arrangements.”
