football career from scratch

Chapter 704 It's Our Turn

FIFA's restructuring of the World Cup is nothing more than reflected in the expansion of the army. In the earliest World Cup, there were only thirteen teams participating, and anyone who could sign up could come. From the second session, it was fixed at sixteen teams, and at the same time, qualifiers were adopted. The system, the second World Cup, is the World Cup that really started to have a system.

And this system has been maintained for a full eleven sessions. It was not until the No.1982 World Cup in Spain in 12 that the participating teams expanded to 24. This number was also maintained until the World Cup in the United States. In 1998, the World Cup in France expanded to 32 teams.

There have also been changes in the competition system, and there have been some inexplicable rules, such as knockout rounds all the way, such as the second round of the group stage after the first round of the group stage, and only No.1 can qualify—it was not determined until the 1986 World Cup in Mexico After the group stage, at least two teams will qualify, and then there will be a knockout round. This system has been used until today, with some small changes, but not too big.

Therefore, looking at the history of the entire World Cup, it is nothing more than a history of continuous military expansion and continuous expansion of influence. From the first World Cup, only 100 countries participated, and now more than 48 countries and regions around the world have participated, and there are [-] countries. Being able to appear in the World Cup will also expand the influence of football to the world.

There is no other sport in the world that can have such a wide influence, the world's number one sport football - well deserved.

After the expansion of the World Cup, it has once again returned to the competition system where No.3 has a chance to qualify.

This kind of competition system, of course, has advantages and disadvantages-this allows most teams to have a chance to qualify from the group stage. In the past, half of them were eliminated, but now they are eliminated by one-third. There are fewer eliminated teams. Focus on the elimination stage. There will be more people.

At the same time, many more games will increase the income a lot. The World Cup has regained its vitality and increased its attractiveness. Although it will make the players more tired, as a representative of the high-income group, it is worthwhile to be a little tired .

This is not only a profit for FIFA, but also for the national team and players.

However, the downside is that for the strong teams, the pressure on them in the knockout stage has become even greater. In the past, it was possible to win the World Cup with four consecutive victories, but now it needs five consecutive victories-in such a high-level competition , One more game, one more game in a row is to add more pressure.

The group stage is okay, because there are many games in the group stage, basically you can rest for four to five days after a game, but in the knockout stage, you can basically only rest for two to three days, and the game is still going on. Intensive, it is a great pressure for any player.

That is to say, the current players have greatly enhanced their physical fitness, so they can persist in such games. It is precisely because the World Cup schedule has been lengthened. In the World Cup year, the intermission period of national leagues will also become longer.

For fans all over the world, there is no doubt that this summer will be another major event in world football.

Although the influence of the Champions Cup has gradually approached the World Cup, the World Cup still has its unique charm-every team represents the country, which itself has a special meaning!
No matter how high the level of the Champions League is, there are many stars, but it only represents the competition between clubs. If there are always supporters of a club, how can there be so many supporters of a country?

Even for the top clubs, I am afraid it is difficult to compare with a national team like the Chinese team with good performance. After all, it has a population base of one billion...

The World Cup has the charm of the World Cup, and the Champions Cup has the charm of the Champions Cup.

On June [-], the World Cup officially begins.

In Buenos Aires, a grand opening ceremony was held at the Monument Stadium. Leaders from more than 30 countries and regions came to the scene, crowned and magnificent.

And after the opening ceremony, the opening game of the World Cup will follow!

The Argentine national team, which finished second in the Confederations Cup, played.

The defeat in the Confederations Cup final last year obviously did not affect the performance of the hosts. They have a strong lineup and a lot of players. In this year, they have optimized and adjusted the overall lineup, which is the same as a year ago. In comparison, this Argentine team is more balanced and better.

Metz's performance in Barcelona last season was not particularly good, but this also means that he will focus more on the World Cup. For a top player, he has no shortage of honors in the club. What is missing is the honor of the national team!

Amid the shouts of more than 6 crazy Argentine fans, Argentina beat Costa Rica in the half court at their home court. Now Argentina's lineup has changed again. On the bench, he was replaced by a center. After adding a high point and a player who can grab points in the frontcourt, Metz played even better.

In the end, Argentina defeated Costa Rica [-]-[-] in the opening game, showing excellent state and strong fighting spirit. Metz scored twice in the game, making a good start for his World Cup journey.

He performed well, and his opponent, naturally, couldn't be content to be left behind.

Portugal, like the Chinese team, has not been able to squeeze into the first-tier teams. After all, there are only twelve first-tier teams. The hosts are Argentina, Brazil, Germany, Spain, France, the Netherlands, Italy, and England. Accounting for two-thirds of the quota, plus Belgium, which has recently achieved outstanding results, Mexico, which dominates Central and North America, Poland, which performed extremely well in the World Cup qualifiers, and Chile, which ranked among the top in the South American World Cup qualifiers-these international teams. The AFC ranking is higher than that of the Chinese team and Portugal!

It can be seen that there are indeed too many top players in world football.

There are seven of the top players plus Bu Qingyun, but compared with them, there are a lot of top players whose performance is only one-tier. Basically, the strong teams in the World Cup can come up with a set of top players. With the lineup, the strength of the club is improving, and the strength of the national team is also improving, but the international players of these strong teams are basically scattered among the major giants, and the cooperation between them is not as familiar as in the club.

However, at the top level, cooperation is actually a small problem. After a few days of grinding, basic tactical coordination can definitely be played out.

In the case that the overall cooperation may not be very tacit, the coach's ability to knead the team and the personal abilities of the players will play a greater role.

This makes the World Cup games often appear less severe, but more beautiful.

The overall level of Portugal is not as good as that of Argentina. Although they have many good players now, the Portuguese national team has always had a problem, that is, except for Rolande, other offensive players always seem a bit It makes people feel unreliable. When facing weaker opponents, their performance can be very good, but when facing strong opponents, their attackers cannot perform very well.

Under such circumstances, Portugal often can only rely on the performance of Rolande to attack alone. The terrible thing is that Rolande is a standard shooter. He is the most threatening within 30 meters from the goal. He can score with all means, but someone needs to pass the ball to him!
Otherwise, he can only continue to create opportunities through personal breakthroughs. Under such circumstances, his relatively average ball distribution ability will be exposed more, which will affect Portugal's results.

However, in this World Cup, Portugal's performance is somewhat different.

They still lack top offensive players other than Rolande, but they have a lot of midfield organizers. Under such circumstances, Rolande has received enough support, and his scoring ability has also begun to improve. It exploded!

The Japanese team, the Chinese team's neighbor, became a victim. They were crushed by Rolande in the game. The Japanese team's defense line, which is relatively short in stature, seemed to have a huge gap in front of Rolande's jumping ability. Rolande With two headers and a penalty, Portugal beat Japan with a surprising [-]-[-] score, not only winning their first group stage victory, but also gaining enough margin ball.

Under the current competition system, such a big victory can almost give Portugal a chance to qualify two rounds ahead of schedule.

These two top players obviously vented their frustration at not winning the Champions League on the World Cup - which makes everyone very happy, because seeing a good player perform equally well in the World Cup is very important to everyone. It's a treat for everyone!
What's more, Metz and Rolande have performed well. Can other top players not perform well?

So Mars scored twice in Brazil's first group game, Ruben assisted twice in Netherlands' first group game, Haza scored a pass and shot in Belgium's first group game ...

In addition to these top players, other top players with slightly less fame and strength have also shown their own standards in the World Cup.

For the fans, this is a gluttonous feast about football.

The excellent performance of the players made them feel mesmerized even more.

The fans of the Chinese team are extremely looking forward to their Bu Qingyun, who can also show his own level on the court like these top players.

As for the Chinese team, the first match was against France.

It may not be a good thing to meet the biggest opponent in the group stage in the first game, but the Chinese team has been looking forward to this game for a long time.

"Okay, now it's our turn to play."

Before setting off from the hotel to the venue, Gao Yuan smiled and said to all the players of the national team.

"Yes, now it's our turn to play!"

The players of the Chinese team suddenly agreed.
