ball at foot

Relying on Mexico being defeated by the Brazilians, in the group stage, the Chinese team successfully upset and entered the semi-finals of the Confederations Cup.

In China, it is naturally a jubilation.Originally, before coming to this Confederations Cup, I thought that the Chinese team would not be able to qualify... In fact, if it is based on strength, it is indeed impossible to qualify.If it weren't for the Mexican team's unlucky encounter with the Brazilians, the Chinese team's final result would definitely not qualify. The final result would probably be to retain the last bit of face by defeating Greece, which has now completely degenerated.

After eliminating Mexico, the Mexican team was naturally full of complaints.They defeated the Chinese team, and they are definitely better in terms of strength.However, in the group stage, they were eliminated because of the competition system. How could they be reconciled?

However, the Brazilians lost to Mexico unreasonably and tied with China, but there is no other way.Although Mexico also implicitly accused Brazil of letting go of the Chinese team, the Brazilians didn't even bother to argue about it: so what if we let the water go?We're out, and you're out.And to put it bluntly, even for the sake of winning the championship, if the Brazilians are asked to choose a team that qualify together in the group stage, the Brazilians will definitely choose China-China is weaker after all, who would want to let a strong opponent qualify?

At the same time, in another group, the winner was also decided.The host team, Germany, entered the knockout round with South American runner-up Argentina. [

"This Confederations Cup, there are only two championship teams in the knockout stage, and one of them is the Asian champion."

This is where the media are most dissatisfied.The North American champion, the Australian champion, the African champion, and the European champion were all eliminated. On the contrary, the German team, which played as the host, and Argentina, which was added because the Brazilian won the World Cup champion and the America's Cup champion, qualified, which also made people wonder. I feel that this Confederations Cup may not be as high in quality as expected.

After qualifying in the group, the Chinese team also met their opponent - the German team.

This opponent made Zhao Yaning silent for a long time.

If we talk about the good side... Well, the German team is now at the lowest point in history, and the strength of the team can be said to have reached the worst time.Klose, Ballack, Kahn, these are all famous world-class players.Although the other players are also very good capable players, but in terms of absolute strength, there is indeed a gap in grades.And if there is anything that is more gratifying, it is at this time that their most threatening player, Klose, has missed the Confederations Cup due to injury.And Kahn also gave Lehmann the starting lineup of the national team because of various problems in the German team.

It is also unreasonable for the current German team to be unceremoniously called Ballack's "one-man team" by the media of other countries.

As for their other players, Deisler was seriously injured after all, and his recovery has not been very good.As for Schneider, Frings, Mertesacker, Lehmann, including their naturalized Brazilian striker Kuranyi, it is hard to say that they are first-class players.Podolski, Schweinsteiger and others, as young rookies, are not very satisfactory: in any European power, it is impossible to hand over the main position to a player who plays in the second division. players, but in Germany, Podolski entered the national team as the core identity of the Bundesliga champion.This situation is enough to explain their current predicament.

In fact, since the victory over England in 2000, until now, the German team has not won 14 consecutive games against the world's top teams. The results of four draws and ten losses can even be said to be a bit pitiful.

After playing against a team like Brazil, it stands to reason that the strength of the German team is nothing to the Chinese team.However, there is still a problem here.

However, if there is anything that makes the Chinese team unhappy-although Germany's record against the world's strong teams is a mess, but against the underdogs, Germany's record is hardly upset.Unlike the Brazilians who have convulsions from time to time, their football has always been stable and fully exerted their strength. They cannot beat strong teams, but they will not lose to weak teams.It is also because of never being soft when dealing with underdogs that their ff points are always very high.

And the Chinese team is just a legendary underdog...

In fact, such a team is precisely the most troublesome.Outstanding physical strength, strong execution ability, excellent coordination, and high tactical quality. Although there is no particularly outstanding speed and technique, they are not afraid of confrontation, headers, and reckless tactics. When I was in the national team, I was most afraid of meeting him.

As strong as Brazil, there are also times when the state is not good, and the big-name strikers are weak and shooting.After all, the Chinese team is an underdog. When you meet such a team, you can still gamble on luck. But when you meet a team like Germany, which is used to minimizing luck and relying on strength to determine the outcome, the result will be It is inevitable that people will be disappointed.

As the host, Germany has the home court advantage, and although the Germans faced an underdog like China, they didn't say anything too much.

Although the pass was not bad, Hao Dapao was old after all, and his speed could not keep up, and Lehmann's attack was very timely, holding the ball in his arms.

The Chinese team almost scored a goal in the opening game, and the Germans immediately realized how powerful Zhao Yaning was.When Zhao Yaning got the ball again, Barack immediately posted it, and Frings also began to pay attention to Zhao Yaning, for fear that he would eat the back line raw.

This kind of treatment is reasonable, Zhao Yaning said in his heart.In the entire world of football, few dare to defend him one-on-one.Except for Lyon's Essien, Chelsea's Makelele mostly relies on his own ability to defend Zhao Yaning, and the others rely more on teamwork to defend him.It is absolutely impossible to defend him one-on-one without any ability against the sky.Although the Germans are strong, most of the players are all playing with comprehensive strength. In terms of defensive ability alone, none of the current German midfielders can defend Zhao Yaning alone.

But although the Germans focused on defense, Zhao Yaning didn't care too much.Ballack restrained a lot of energy because of defending Zhao Yaning, which was enough to make the German team's attack collapse in half.Although Deisler still has a considerable technical advantage on the wing, because there is no Klose header on the front line, it will be difficult for Germany's advantage to be converted into goals for a while.

At this time, Zhao Yaning thought more about how to rely on his own organization to break through the opponent's tight defense.

The German team is very strong, but there are still problems on the back line.One of their biggest problems is that the speed of the defense is seriously insufficient.

This can be said to be a problem that has always existed in the German team. The physical conditions of the Germans are limited, and there are very few fast players.The German defenders focus on tall stature and confrontation, and their speed is even worse.And their main central defender, Mertesacker, can be said to be the person with the most serious problems.

If it is a frontal confrontation, his strength is not weak.Not to mention his tall stature, his frontal defense is also extremely good, and there are not many people who can beat him head-on one-on-one.But his turning speed is really a tragedy.Hyypia of Liverpool, where Zhao Yaning works, is a defender who turns very slowly, but when Zhao Yaning saw the current Mertesacker, he suddenly felt that Hyypia was still very flexible...

As for the Chinese team, facing an opponent like Germany, Hao Dapao was extremely guarded by the opponent's tactics, and he couldn't play the role of grabbing points. The strongest header is useless when it meets Germany.However, Qu Bo's speed might still be worth a try.

He has played in Ligue 20 for three years. Although Ajaccio has always been a relegation team, he has always played more than [-] games every year, with an efficiency of four or five goals.But when it comes to physical strength, speed and assault ability, he definitely has a set.He is a player with obvious characteristics, and his speed is the only thing he can rely on in this kind of game.

Well, let's try, if my pass is good enough, his speed, plus Mertesacker's turn...

When he got the ball again, Zhao Yaning directly smashed the ball to get rid of Ballack, and then gave the ball to Shao Jiayi.Shao Jiayi did not hesitate and passed the ball back. Zhao Yaning rushed forward two steps. Just when Mertesacker moved forward to the penalty area line, Zhao Yaning suddenly hooked his left foot behind his right foot while running and passed the ball. out.

The ball was a half-high ball, and Mertesacker wanted to block it with a header, but when he realized that the ball could not be caught, he wanted to turn around, but it was too late.

Qu Bo rushed behind him, and when Mertesacker turned around, he was already three meters away from him.

Facing Lehmann, Qu Bo knocked across, Hao Dapao received the ball and directly kicked the ball into the goal.

"The Chinese team scored a goal!!! The Chinese team scored the first goal!!! The wonderful cooperation in the frontcourt gave the Chinese team a 1-0 lead!"

That's it!Zhao Yaning clenched his fists, you are indeed very strong, but don’t let me seize the opportunity, as long as I seize the opportunity, I will never let it go easily!
