Golden Greenery

( ) "Comrade, do you know where Leningrad and Stalingrad are? I can't find them on the map."

"No more, never again. We have failed, and the white bandits, landowners and capitalists are once again riding on our heads. If you want to follow the red star, go to the east. Cross the Dnieper River, climb over the Ural Mountains, Siberia At the end of the plain, to the south, on the eastern shore of the legendary ocean, there is still a spark of fire. Comrade, only there, the red star still shines."

This is a time-travel story about a Soviet Red Army soldier lost in modern Russia. Stalingrad is now Volgograd, where the Chinese team defeated Denmark half a month ago.

Leningrad is now the second largest city in Russia, her name is St. Petersburg, and the Chinese team will usher in the World Cup semi-finals here.

Zhuoyang has played five games. In the World Cup, teams will only play 3 games in total, 8 teams will play 4 games, and 4 teams will play 5 games. The four teams entering the semi-finals will all play a full 7 games.

The goal of the Chinese team is naturally Luzhniki in Moscow, which will be the venue for the final.

If the dream comes true, the Chinese team will play seven games in seven cities. This is good news for travelers, but it is indeed a hassle for the team. This is especially true for the vast army of expedition fans. They use various means of transportation to make the transition, which is really hard and expensive.

But this kind of toss and hard work is based on happiness. The 28 teams and their fans who want to be comfortable have all gone home.

As the Chinese team moved to St. Petersburg, the answers to all 14 games in the four World Cup games in Russia were revealed.

The Chinese team was not the only team to advance through penalty kicks in the four games. Two teams that entered the top 8 in 1st round, Croatia and the host Russia met on a narrow road.

Goals from Cheryshev and Kramaric tied the two teams at 1, and goals from Russian full-back and Brazilian naturalized player Mario Fernandez and Croatian center back Vida tied the game again in overtime.

In the penalty shootout, Monaco goalkeeper Subasic fished out Smolov's push shot with one hand, and Akinfeev also blocked Kovacic's shot. Mario Fernandez kicked away, finally allowing Croatia to defeat the host 4:3 with difficulty, and entered the semi-finals as a dark horse.

In two consecutive penalty shootouts, Croatia was much more difficult than the Chinese team. Although it was difficult for Magic Flute and his team, they did a great thing, because before this, the host country's penalty kick failure in the World Cup could be traced back to 1 Tingoyechea's save.

England reached the quarterfinals after knocking out ambitious Colombia on penalties.

Then he met his old rival Sweden. Kane, who had already scored six goals, was misfired, but England still advanced to the semi-finals 2:0 with two headers from Maguire and Alli.

The two teams played the song "City in the Sky" together. It was difficult for the football to roll quietly on the turf for a while, and the director's panoramic shots were not enough for both of them.

After reaching the semi-finals of the World Cup 24 years later, the Queen may actually consider knighting Southgate. Anyway, I have no salary and no land, so I can just play with it.

While the people of England were excitedly shouting "Football finally comes home", they also did not forget to denounce the main winger Sterling. This guy once again performed a happy football without scoring in this game. Lingard and Ashley Young took the lead. Even if the cake is chewed first and then put into his mouth, he will spit it out.

In fact, the hero of this game was goalkeeper Pickford. He made at least four divine saves, otherwise the Swedes would have missed the British guy.

Before the start of the World Cup, the battle for the 'best goalkeeper in the world' was also a hot topic, but the performances of Neuer, De Gea, Courtois, Alisson and other protagonists, including Lloris, were not very convincing. There have been some mistakes one after another.

On the contrary, Subasic and Pickford, who were not optimistic about it, have performed bravely since the start of the game. They are low-key but their contribution to the team is no less than that of Magic Flute and Kane.

In another 14 minutes, the French team, which had recovered its form, met Belgium, which had won the first four games. 14 in four games, this one is another focus after the China-Pakistan war.

Among the eight teams that have entered the quarterfinals, only Belgium, which ranked second in FIFA rankings before the four games, was the invisible favorite to win this time.

But France has really woken up. With no advantage in possession of the ball throughout the game, Scar and his team played extremely efficiently, and the offensive threat was greater than Belgium's.

In this battle, the center backs and goalkeepers of both teams played at a high level, so that the game had a wonderful process, but there were no wonderful goals.

In the first match against the Chinese team in the group stage, Umtiti made a mistake in the penalty area and gave a handball gift. The key package directly allowed Zhuoyang to expand the score to 3:0.

After that battle, France's central defenders became Varane and Kimpembe, making do with each other. After the elimination of Spain in 18, Kim Pembela injured his back during training, and Deschamps put Umtiti, who was released from the ban, back into the starting lineup.

In the 51st minute of the second half against Belgium, Mbappe broke through and won a corner kick. Scar drove to the front post. Umtiti beat Fellaini, who is known as the "world's best header", and smashed the ball into the net.

With this goal, France eliminated Belgium 1:0.

Now it seems that Mourinho still understands Fellaini. He can only be domineering when he comes off the bench, and he is just a genius when he starts.

China, France, England and Croatia, the semi-finals are launched, and there are only the last four games left in the 2018 World Cup. Looking at all the wonderful things before, everyone has to admit that football is still dominated by old guys. The 33-year-old Zhuo Yang, the 33-year-old Magic Flute, and the 35-year-old Scar are the three best performers.

Zall, Mbappe, De Bruyne, Kane, etc., who have high hopes, all have occasional wonderful performances, but they cannot be compared with the three old players.

Especially for Zhuoyang, after Brazil was eliminated, football king Pele said without hesitation: "Neymar needs to learn too many things from Zhuoyang, less performance and more football accumulation."

Bailey said: "There is only one star in this World Cup, and that is Zhuoyang. I don't mean to belittle the excellence of others, but Zhuoyang is the only superstar."

His Majesty the King of Football said this, perhaps because he hates Neymar as much as iron. In this World Cup, Neymar lay on the ground for a total of 14 minutes and rolled a total of 27 and a half times.

Snow was flying all over the sky, and his eyes were filled with pear blossoms in the garden. Neymar wiped the similarity from the corners of his eyes, and murmured in loneliness: We promised to be together in all kinds of splendor, but in the blink of an eye, I was left alone in this spring breeze, as lonely as smoke, without you to praise me. Singing lightly, even if I wear the crown of the mortal world, whose city can I conquer?

Withered leaf butterflies flying over the cliff, Neymar closed his sad eyes. There are vague words on the wings of the butterfly - We are at the bottom of the heartless valley.

Signed: Mei and Luo.

.

In fact, France's ability to reach the semi-finals is quite surprising to the outside world. After all, they performed so well in the group stage. Without Zhuoyang's loyalty against Denmark in the last group stage, the French team's grave would have been covered with pavilions at this time. .

Perhaps as the saying goes, if you survive a disaster, you will be blessed later, but it is still surprising that France entered the knockout round with two different teams.

Zhuoyang was no longer sure whether he was acting blindly or not. Many Chinese and foreign stories such as Mr. Dongguo, the farmer and the snake appeared in his mind.

Not counting early extra games and rematches, the story of two teams meeting twice in the same World Cup has only happened five times in the 88-year history. After the expansion of the World Cup, there was only one.

In the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, in Group C where the Chinese team was located, Brazil defeated Turkey 2:1 in the group stage. The two teams later met again in the semifinals. Brazil defeated Turkey 1:0 with Ronaldo's goal.

In Russia in 2018, the national team will compete for the right to the finals in St. Petersburg and France.

Kou Kou smiled and rolled her eyes: "Brother Zhuoyang, do you regret it?"

For the sake of a man's self-esteem, Zhuo Yang would definitely have to be tougher at this time.
