The most low-key superstar

Chapter 342
Because of the European play-offs of the World Cup qualifiers, the major leagues in Europe have stopped, and the next league will not start until the play-offs are completed.

Fortunately, the international players in the Manchester United team do not account for the majority, and not many players returned to China to participate in the play-offs, but there are still several left.

The team's laboratory took this opportunity to conduct a more careful inspection of each player, and according to the physical condition of the team, put forward some suggestions for improving the training plan to the coaching staff. It can be regarded as a respite. The game some time ago really put too much pressure on the injured Manchester United team.

For this reason, Coach Ferguson also specially gave a few days off to a few players who played a lot of games to let them have a good rest, because the next game will be more intensive. Everyone knows that the FA will definitely use more intensive games. schedule to make up for this loss of time.

Of course, Nichols will not miss this opportunity to play with Angela well. Although it is only less than a week, this period of time is very precious to Nichols, and the play-offs have nothing to do with Nichols. No, he didn't have the energy to watch any play-offs.

Although there are many people with the same mentality as Nicole, the eyes of the world are still focused on Europe.

In Nicole's view, UEFA, which has always been shameless, launched the seeded team in a timely manner, and the seeded team was completely in order to prevent a few influential teams from entering the big stage of the World Cup. The stipulation that they cannot meet.Everyone knows that, in fact, UEFA protects France and Portugal overtly and secretly.

But some commentators believe that 'the best beneficiaries of UEFA's regulations are precisely Russia and Greece.Judging from the results of the draw, Portugal's encounter with Bosnia and Herzegovina is generally considered to be a top draw. '

Before the start of the game, various theories appeared one after another, and countless experts and scholars jumped out and analyzed clearly before the game.

In the author's opinion, the fact that France was forced to participate in the play-offs was completely caused by lack of success.France in the last era was definitely leading the world trend.We still clearly remember Zidane's header in the 98 World Cup final, and even more remember the scoop penalty kick and head-butt Materazzi in 2006.French football in that era was as elegant as their country, holding their heads high.

But now, after Zidane finally retired, there is no one in France who can take over Zizu's mantle.Ribery is indeed very strong, but he is always a winger.Both Gourcuff and Henry can attack cities for the club, but they seem to have lost their aura when it comes to the national team.The goalkeeper problem seems to have been criticized after Barthez.However, they are always French.

In the case of losing to Austria in the first game, they are only one point behind the top Serbia and ranked second. They still successfully locked in a play-off spot with a score higher than No.3 Austria by 7 points.How to properly use Henry, Anelka, Benzema, Franck Ribery, Gourcuff, etc. will be an urgent problem for French coach Domenech to solve.They need to get rid of their dependence on Qi Zu!

France's opponent Ireland is not having a good time.However, their play-off history is still very good. In the 2002 World Cup qualifying play-offs, they defeated the mighty Netherlands.Now, although the leader at that time, Roy Keane, has now become the coach.But the strength of Ireland still cannot be underestimated.Robbie Keane on the front line has once again shown the essence of a killer after returning to Tottenham.There are also masters like Duff in the midfield.The defense line is even more talented.Manchester United's full-back O'Shea, central defender Dunn, and goalkeeper Shay are all first-class players.Dunn scored consecutive goals in the last two rounds of the Premier League.Especially the header against Chelsea proved his strength even more.And they are the team that has never lost in the qualifiers.Don't forget that group has strong attacking teams like Italy and Bulgaria.

Although many reports say that France has gone from bad to worse.But more people believe that under the pressure of strong pressure, France's group of talented attackers will not let themselves lose their stage of performance in the World Cup.In the face of this pressure, the French have shown enough resilience, which will also be their guarantee for the World Cup.After all, the life-and-death battle in the play-offs is not just about strength, but psychology.In this regard, France obviously has more experience.But Ireland also has a chance.Coach Trapattoni will tell them how to deal with a French team without a core.No defeat in the qualifiers also gave them enough confidence.

When the Portuguese team heard that Denmark defeated Sweden, Portugal breathed a sigh of relief, at least their fate is in their own hands.Similarly, they also unambiguously won the last two games and came to the play-offs.

In the play-offs, their opponents are generally considered by the media to be a supporting role.The offensive power of Portugal's four wingers is really terrifying to every opponent. Ronaldo also embodies the responsibility of being the captain of the national team.He worked hard.Ledsson's timely change of nationality gave Portugal a strong centre-forward behind Gomez.This good news made many Portuguese fans excited.

Portugal's games always give people a feeling, that is, there are too many people who do fine work in the midfield, but there is a lack of those who do heavy work.There is obviously a gap between the organization of midfielder Deco and that of the golden generation.And the lack of forwards forced Queiroz to push Ronaldo forward.In this way, Ronaldo's strength cannot be brought into play.Carvalho is old on the back line, and Bosingwa is obviously strong offensively and weak defensively.There is only one Pepe who thinks about going to the opponent's penalty area to shoot every day, and he is still in his prime.Reminiscent of several main offensive players in Bosnia and Herzegovina.Had to let people sweat for them.

Bosnia and Herzegovina is a team that has absolutely no story in the football world.If it weren't for the rise of Wolfsburg, it is estimated that the understanding of Bosnia and Herzegovina will always stay at Salihamidzic.But last season Wolfsburg came.So Dzeko came, Misimovic came, Ibisevic came.It seemed pointless to discuss these people a year ago.But now, times have changed, Dzeko and Misimovic together scored [-] goals in the qualifiers. Come back, this trident is rampant in the Bundesliga...and look at which teams are trampled by them: Turkey and Belgium.They are all once sensational teams... Whether the Portuguese defenders can handle it must be a problem.The weakness of Bosnia and Herzegovina is that the defense is very weak.Portugal's attack group can be used... But if Bosnia and Herzegovina cannot be won at home, then next year's World Cup Ronaldo will have to watch live TV at home!
Russia's strength has been unanimously recognized by everyone in recent years.There are game-determining figures like Arshavin in the midfield.There are also goalkeepers like Akinfiev, who Manchester United has always favored, on the back line.Plus a character like Hiddink who can turn decay into magic.If it weren't for Germany, a team so stable that it collapsed all opponents, in the qualifiers, it is estimated that Russia would not be used for the play-offs.

With the unintentional help of UEFA, Russia successfully picked up the pie that fell from the sky, and the strength of its own team is indeed there.Opponents really don't have players who can take a threatening shot to compete with them.It is estimated that Russia should have more than [-]% chance to go to South Africa this time.

It is estimated that UEFA did not consider these two teams at all when they thought that the sub-seeded team was very unseeded.So I drew a lottery like this and let them fight for their lives...

There is only one Greek myth, and the 2004 European Cup is definitely the best memory of the Greeks.In fact, Greece has always been powerful.Do you still remember the iconic Beckham's free kick worth hundreds of millions that made thousands of fans feel excited?That is England's opponent is Greece.In any case, a team that can push England to that point is worthy of respect.

And the overall strength of Greece is indeed shocking.From a personal point of view, there are no stars (I don't know if Gkas is one).In fact, there is no strong team in their group. In the end, Switzerland was the first to qualify.But no team dared to underestimate them.

Why do the Greeks stand on the highest podium in Europe? They rely on unity and running at all costs.

Ukraine can play in the play-offs, and they have to thank England for killing their arch-enemy Croatia.The loss to Ukraine in the penultimate round is suspected of letting England go. Even if the head coach says no, the players will have such thoughts. This is what Nickel knows. Not only the players, but the fans also hope so. That's why Croatia spoke out after the game.

So Ukraine seized this last chance to see the light before dawn. In the 2006 World Cup in Germany, Ukraine made it to the round of [-].Shevchenko, the nuclear warhead at that time, was full of energy, and Voronin was still young at that time.Now Ukraine also has a rising star like Milevsky, but after all, Sheva is old, and his threat to opponents is far from that great.But as the Commonwealth of Independent States, their home court has always been very terrifying.This is also the hope for Ukraine to enter South Africa.

The strength of these two teams is very close, and it is reasonable for anyone to win.I think the key point is to look at their respective home courts.Home results will largely determine who gets to go to South Africa...
