For the various media, the most noteworthy match in the first round of the World Cup knockout stage is indeed the match between China and England.

And FIFA also made a lot of publicity for this game—what Bu Qingyun thought was similar, they really took the fact that China is the origin of ancient football and England is the origin of modern football as a gimmick...

"In fact, in theory, Cuju and modern football are completely different things, but since FIFA has always recognized this, let's just listen to it... In the world of modern football, China started very late and has a low status. Now, We have a good opportunity to show our level in front of the origin of modern football."

Gao Yuan told the players in the team that the rest time during this period was a little bit long, and it was difficult for the players to maintain a relatively high level of morale. After hearing his words, they came to more interest.

In terms of state, this game needs to be restrained a little, so that the entire team can be in an upward state.

England is by no means a weak team. Gao Yuan's choice is actually very risky.

According to the level of the Chinese team, if they play their best every game, there is no problem in entering the second round of the knockout round. If you are lucky, you may be able to go further. For the Chinese team, this is already a very remarkable achievement However, Gao Yuan will not be satisfied just because of this.

Because he knows that although Chinese football as a whole is now in an upward process, the level of Bu Qingyun and his group of players is still above the overall level of Chinese football. Although the one-in-a-million plan has damaged the entire Chinese football The vitality of the two generations has indeed cultivated a strong team like a gu!

Thinking about having such a group of players, I'm afraid it will be very difficult. The overall level of Chinese football will not be bad in the future, but at the level of the national team, it is almost impossible for players of this level to appear again in a short period of time .

Since this is the case, then this World Cup needs to achieve better results to let everyone know what is the best way to do it. status!
This is Gao Yuan's ambition, and for this, Bu Qingyun is very clear. Some Chinese team players know it, but others may not. However, they all hope to perform better in the World Cup.

For players, the future of Chinese football is beyond their grasp, while the current performance of the Chinese national team in the World Cup is something they can work hard for!
With such a mentality, they are training seriously, adjusting their state, and recovering their physical fitness-if they can reach the World Cup finals, then there will be five games, and in the next half a month or so It is of course very tiring to finish the game, but the World Cup will be very tiring.

As time goes by day by day, Chinese fans' expectations for this game are getting bigger and bigger. Finally, after the start of the knockout stage, Chinese fans' attention to the World Cup has reached a peak!

China vs England!

For England, their luck in this World Cup trip is not very good.

In the qualifying stage, they fell to the second place in the group, and were forced to pass the play-offs to qualify for the World Cup finals. However, their performance in the group stage was mediocre, and they could barely qualify as No.3. If it wasn't for the World Cup If the army is expanded, they will not be able to enter the knockout round...

In the past few years, the Premier League has become more prosperous again. In the past five years, the Champions League has been won by Premier League teams three times, and their national team has begun to struggle again. This really makes England fans very depressed. .

But it's normal to think about it carefully. As the best league in Europe, they can naturally attract the best players. Football powerhouses such as Germany, Italy, Spain, and France have many international players playing in the Premier League. Labor certification has been complained by many people, but relatively speaking, it is the easiest to operate. As long as it is qualified, it can use as many foreign players as it wants, unlike other leagues.

Spain can only have three non-EU foreign players, Germany has five, and Italy has no limit on the total number. However, the proportion of local players and youth players in the first team and the number of non-European players introduced each year are relatively strict. , This is also the reason why English players rarely play in other top leagues-since Brexit, their players are considered non-EU players in leagues of other EU countries...

These ridiculous things have indeed greatly affected the combat effectiveness of the England national team.

However, for England fans, they still have a lot of confidence in this round of [-] finals. Although the Chinese team has two core players who play in the Premier League and performed very well, in their view, the Chinese team Even if they performed well in the group stage, they are still a second-rate team. If England wants to beat them, they can still do it...

Their coach Soren is not so optimistic.

This head coach who has the same name as the big devil in "Lord of the Rings" is known for his bravery when he plays football. He is an excellent defender and can often play in the England national team. After retiring, he served as a coach and led I have been a professional team for many years and have rich experience.

Although the standard of England's local coaches is a bit low compared to other football powers, the top league is full of coaches from other countries, which is the same as the players - but Sauron is still a very good coach, he knows I know that now England has the airs of a strong team, but not the strength of a strong team, while the Chinese team is not considered a strong team on the surface, but actually has the strength of a strong team.

How can a team with players like Bu Qingyun be a weak team!

What's more, judging from the group stage matches, they are not a one-man team with only Bu Qingyun. Bu Qingyun scored three goals and assisted six times in the group stage. performance, can it be ignored?
Su Yuze, who scored five goals, ranked third in the scorer list, only less than Rolande and Metz who scored goals in the group stage. They all scored six goals, and they scored five goals like Su Yuze There are also Mars, Irab, Lewanski...these are the top players in the world!
In addition, Dong Lin, Xie Dongping, Luo Hao, Zhu Yucheng who scored goals in the World Cup... These players who showed their own characteristics on the field are not bad, even in a league of this level like the Premier League. It is still a bit difficult to gain a foothold, but with the right tactics, their performance can be expected!
Facing such a team, what advantage does England have at all?

Even if Sauron had confidence in his team, he would never think that England would be able to defeat the Chinese team.

Take a look at the results of their group. They tied France abruptly, defeated Sweden, and defeated Tunisia. They also scored five goals in these two victories. They scored [-] goals in three games in the group stage, the most in the entire World Cup so far. The team with the most goals so far, what about England?One win, one draw and one loss in the group stage, the goal difference is still negative, and they can only rank third and barely qualify.

How can this make him optimistic.

But the only thing that gives him confidence is that at least he is familiar with Bu Qingyun, the core of the Chinese team.

In his opinion, in the group stage of the Chinese team, although Bu Qingyun did not perform at the top level, the Chinese team also revolved around him to attack. If the team as a whole can deal with him, then it will be able to occupy more advantages.

However, dealing with Bu Qingyun... In the past two years, this has been a problem for all the strong European teams. All teams want to keep an eye on Bu Qingyun, but what happened?Bu Qingyun led Liverpool to the Triple Crown.

Sauron was very worried about this, but in the end he still came up with a solution that was not a solution, which was to cut off the connection between Bu Qingyun and the others. If he wanted to break through, let him break through, as long as he could keep an eye on the others Player, no matter how good Bu Qingyun's breakthrough ability is, how many goals can he score?

Preventing other Chinese team players from receiving the ball well can also control the Chinese team's offense very well!

This is Sauron's idea, and there is no way to do it. It is the only way to control the Chinese team's offense to a certain extent, and then use its own offense to win.

Sauron is still somewhat confident about England's offense. At least Stell and Kenyon are top-level attackers. One has excellent breakthrough ability and the other has strong scoring ability. For players with fairly good offensive abilities, England's offense is still trustworthy.

Although they scored a total of five goals in the three games of the group stage, maybe they will explode in the knockout stage...

Sauron could only pin his hopes on this.

When the day of the game came, Chinese fans began to go to the stadium, and England fans also sang and went to the stadium, but it is obvious that England is also at a disadvantage in the confrontation between the fans.

The relationship between England and Argentina is not good, it can even be said to be very bad. The Argentines have always been worried about the Falklands. Naturally, the English will not be popular in Argentina, so the England fans who came to Argentina across the ocean The number is not very large, coupled with their reputation as football hooligans, the local police in Argentina are also very wary of them...

Chinese fans are different. Chinese people don’t cause troubles outside, and there are many Chinese working in South America. Therefore, there are many more fans wearing red Chinese jerseys in the streets and alleys.

"I think this is also a sign, which means that the Chinese team will have the upper hand in this game." A CCTV commentator said confidently in front of the live camera.

Although these words seem to be a bit disrespectful, but to the Chinese fans, they feel quite cheered up!
