Chapter 778 Caballero is lonely
( ) The Chinese team is not the first team to qualify for the 2018 World Cup in Russia. Russia and Uruguay in Group A are. In the first round, Russia and Ukraine defeated Saudi Arabia and Egypt respectively, and in the second round they defeated Egypt and Saudi Arabia respectively, both scoring 6 points.
Group B has clear strengths and weaknesses but the situation is unclear. The Chinese team in Group C has two teams. The value of qualifying early for the Death Group is much higher than that of Group A.
The African teams did not have the "wealth boy" in previous years, but they went unexpectedly smoothly. In South Africa and Brazil, they had to play until the last second of the group stage to get the results, but they rode the wind and waves on the vast plains of Russia.
When coach Ricardo Gareca, who looks exactly like Inspector Mahon in "Prison Break", gave a post-match press conference, the game between France and Denmark had just started, and Peru had not yet been completely eliminated.
If France beats Denmark and Peru beats France in the last round, and the Chinese team wins Denmark and becomes the dominant team, the Secret Magic Pill will form a three-point chain.
Gareca said: "The Chinese team is very experienced. They controlled the rhythm of the game and made it difficult for Peru to attack."
A head coach from a powerful European and American team said that the Chinese team has more competition experience than them, and it is no longer against the rules to say so now.
"The Chinese team has the most outstanding players today, and Zhuo Yang is worth more than the entire Peruvian team combined."
In fact, Zhuoyang didn't play outstandingly today. Being named the best on the spot was just a habitual move in the game, and it was also because he was the captain of the winning Chinese team. And now Zhuo Yang is worth zero, but his salary does exceed the total of Peru.
"I'm very happy that Peru can score 3 goals. Congratulations to Carrillo and Guerrero. Peru still has a chance. We will work hard until the last minute. May God bless Peru."
There was no chance. Two hours later, France and Denmark ended in a goalless draw 0:0. Peru, which was drawn by the Chinese team, was the first to be eliminated from Group C and became the fourth team to be eliminated after Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Morocco in Group B.
Peru was a thing of the past, but France was in trouble. With just one point from two games, Scar and his team were pushed to the edge of a cliff with one foot still hanging out.
Compared with the first game against the Chinese team, France made certain adjustments in this game. Kimpembe, Debich, and Giroud started, replacing the red card of Umtiti, as well as Pavard and Tolisso.
Moreover, France's state and performance are much better, firmly controlling the game, with twice the ball possession rate and three times the number of shots than Denmark.
But I just can't score a goal.
Did you bite him?
Denmark's defensive organization is indeed very good, absolutely top-notch in Europe. It stood firm in the stormy waves and won a crucial draw.
In the last round, Denmark only needs to tie with the Chinese team that has already qualified to settle the matter, and there is really no need for the two teams to compete for the first place in the group, because 1/8 of the opponents in the knockout round are from Group B, and there is a high probability that Spain and Portugal, is there a toss-up between the two teams?
Even Denmark didn't need to draw with the Chinese team.
What is most uncomfortable for the French is that they have 1 point and a goal difference of -3, while Denmark has 4 points and a goal difference of +2. This is a gap of 5 goals. Even if France beat Peru and Denmark lost to the Chinese team in the last round, it would take another miracle to erase these five goals.
It can even be said that the possibility of France qualifying only exists in theory. France's predicament is reminiscent of their performances in South Korea and Japan in 2002 and South Africa in 2010. No one could have any luck if they were determined to go bad.
After the game, Scar told the truth. "Don't think too much. We'll wait until we win against Peru in the last game."
.
A few days later, the second round of all eight groups ended.
Group A host Russia defeated Egypt 3:1, gaining an important position. Salah, who returned from injury, scored a penalty kick, which was regarded as an excuse for his "hero order".
Uruguay 1:0 Saudi Arabia is also a goal scored by Suarez, affordable male.
Group B Portugal 1:0 Morocco, Spain 1:0 Iran, Ronaldo and Beauty
Something big happened in Group D. Argentina lost 0:3 to Croatia. Maradona was wiping tears in the stands.
On the surface, Argentina's defeat stemmed from a low-level mistake by goalkeeper Willy Caballero.
The 37-year-old Willy Caballero left Manchester City on a free transfer last year just to catch this year's World Cup. He got his wish, and because Manchester United's second goalkeeper and Argentina's first goalkeeper Romero were suddenly injured on the eve of the opening, he was lucky enough to become the main goalkeeper.
Caballero's goal line is good, but in the last game between Argentina and Iceland, he made people on tenterhooks with his several attacks.
In the 58th minute of the game, Argentina right center back Gabriel Mercado, under pressure from the opponent's winger Ante Rebic, brought it back and passed it to goalkeeper Caballero.
The veteran's mentality was very good, but his footwork was lacking. Caballero wanted to pass the ball over the top to Mercado, but he passed the ball lightly, and was lonely. Rebic from Frankfurt turned around and volleyed. It's like scoring a goal for free.
Argentina, which was forced into a desperate situation, had no choice but to come out in full force and was defeated by a long-range shot from the Magic Flute in the 80th minute and a stoppage-time goal by Rakitic, the "best club player in the world". Especially the last goal, which was passed into the goal by Croatia during a counterattack. It was 100% humiliating.
Argentina, which aims to win the championship, and France, which has the same ambition, have reached the same cliff.
On the surface, Caballero hurt the team because of his disrespect, but in fact Argentina played very badly, both games were bad. The tactics are chaotic, personnel changes are random, the midfield is unorganized, and the frontcourt is stacked with offensive players, especially Messi without support.
Messi only had one shot in the game, can you believe it? The bearded Mei Zhen already looked old. After the game, the boss Mei, who had a grimace on his face, looked 80 years old.
But Argentina is still better than France, because Nigeria in the same group defeated Iceland 2:0. Croatia has already qualified, with Nigeria 3, Argentina 1, Ice 1. Argentina can still control its own destiny as long as it defeats Nigeria in the last game.
Argentina and Nigeria cannot afford to lose anymore. They met four times in the World Cup, and Argentina won four times. Boss Mei's last World Cup goal was scored against Nigeria in the group stage four years ago.
Nigeria’s hero in this round was ‘Hero Order’ Musa, who scored two goals.
Messi hasn't fired yet, but Neymar has. Brazil's victory in this round is very high.
In the match against Costa Rica, it was not until the stoppage time that Brazil won 2-0 with two goals from Coutinho and Neymar. Jesus, who had returned from injury, had previously scored an offside goal that did not count.
In another match in Group E, Switzerland and Serbia's heroes Ling, Shaqiri and Mitrovic all scored, but Switzerland won 2:1.
Not only did Zhuoyang not score in this round, his number of goals was also surpassed by other heroes.
