Football irons are burning

Chapter 283 Reaching the Top 16

The 15-minute break came quickly, and the two sides came out to continue the game.

The Brazilian team replaced the teenager Kaka and Edmilson. Scolari is desperate.

After Kaka came up, the game was still controlled by the Brazilian team.

Of course, their control has become sharper.

Kaka's role is also obvious. He has a very stable ball control and a good pass. Every time he passes, he can create a certain threat.

This also allowed China's formation to be suppressed even further back.

But in this way, there is not so much space left for the opponent. The Brazilian team has been shooting long shots for a period of time after the start of the second half. This is a trial of luck.

It's a pity that facing dense defense, it's hard to find a long-range shooting angle, and An Qi's performance is also very stable, so that none of the opponent's shots hit.

On the sidelines, Scolari was walking up and down anxiously, wishing he could go up by himself.

But he can't help it, Kaka is his change move, and after going up, he has already performed well, but he still hasn't been able to create a good killing intent.

The arrangement of the long-range shot has also seen the effect, but unfortunately, it is not the coach's responsibility to fail to score.

As for the breakthrough, the Chinese team's intensive defense can't find a good breakthrough route at all, and it has no good effect.

In a blink of an eye, the time has come to 70 minutes, and the Brazilian team still has no means to break the goal.

The Chinese team replaced Ma Mingyu with veteran general Fan. Ma Mingyu was exhausted physically, so he went down to rest now. When old Fan came up, he didn't play as a central defender, but was in front.

Lei Hagel saw the other party's flaws and was about to sneak attack.

Sure enough, General Fan had an effect as soon as he came up. He launched an attack with a long pass from the backcourt. General Fan headed the ball a little. Chen Tao took the ball and saw it at the right time.

Now, the Brazilian team is gone.

Who would have thought that such a big score would be scored in this game?What about the agreed championship ahead of schedule?

Really fragrant, um, really fragrant.

Of course, this is another counterattack goal. Isn't this counterattack efficiency particularly terrifying?

At this point in the game, the Brazilian team really died down. This is only a group match, and there is no need for them to fight the Chinese team to the death.

They played against Costa Rica in the last round, and they are more likely to win, so they have to save their energy now.

In the end, the Chinese team beat Brazil 4:1. After two games, they accumulated 6 points and ranked first in the group.

In the post-match press conference, Rehhagel was full of pride. He was very satisfied with defeating the veteran team Brazil.

"We seized the opportunity to score goals. Li Tie and Qu Hanqing are players who are good at seizing opportunities. They both scored two goals. I am very satisfied. So, we won the game, this is football! The Brazilian team has better skills than us, which any team has to be willing to admit defeat, but our defense is also good. I am satisfied with the performance of goalkeeper An Qi. He has a bright future."

Scolari said: "It's a pity to lose. The progress of the Chinese team is obvious to all, especially Li Tie. He made our defense completely defeated. After returning, we will make a good summary and strive to play the last game well."

When the reporter asked Li Tie whether the Chinese team was stronger than the Brazilian team, Li Tie said: "It is actually difficult to compare this way. We just have a better ability to seize opportunities, while the Brazilian team's technology is far superior to ours. We won the game and we scored earlier. This disrupted the opponent's tactics, and our counterattack quality was relatively good. When the score expanded, the opponent had already given up the game."

The next day, the media also commented on the game, and most of the media were very surprised.

Gazzetta dello Sport: The Chinese team won by a big score, and the Brazilian team seems a bit vulnerable!
L'Equipe: The Brazilian team suffered a disastrous defeat. They still need to beat Costa Rica to qualify for the group stage. However, the strength of the Chinese team is surprising. Under the leadership of Li Tie, this young team made the veteran team Brazil suffer a lot.

Bild: Li Tie's Chinese team won again. He is an incomparable player, and he can always lead his team to win.

Later, the result of the match between Costa Rica and Turkey was surprising again. Costa Rica actually defeated Turkey 1:0!

According to the comparative analysis of strength before the game, everyone is optimistic about Turkey.

Maybe this is also forced out. If they can't win, they basically have to go home.

Wanchope, who played with an injury, scored the winning goal, while the Turkish team lost two games and was also out early.

Such a result also allowed the Chinese team to reach the top 16 one round ahead of schedule. Even if they lose in the last game, it doesn't matter. Between Brazil and Costa Rica, whoever wins will qualify. If there is a tie, Brazil will also qualify.

Reaching the last 16 is not the ultimate goal, but it must be a relief.

In the last game, it must be played as a substitute, and the main players can get at least a week's rest.

This is also the first team to reach the top 16. The Chinese team is now in a good momentum. The gambling company also adjusted the winning odds of the Chinese team to 1 to 1.9, becoming the number one favorite to win the championship.

The media is also overwhelmingly optimistic about the Chinese team. After all, the Brazilian team was defeated by the Chinese team. Who would dare to say that the Chinese team has no hope of winning the championship?

However, at this time, the Chinese team broke out a piece of gossip. Octopus and Chen Tao had a great time in a bar. Later, they were photographed by reporters as they went to the hotel with a girl in their arms.

This time, the leader was so angry that the two of them were immediately called in front of the team leader, Lao Zhu.

The two also denied this.

"You guys are quite bachelors, how are you? Are the women here interesting?" Lao Zhu slapped the table, making them both tremble in fright.

"No, no, it's not fun, ah, no, we were wrong." Octopus said hastily.

Rehhagel smoothed things over and said: "This time you are really too much. Now you have only entered the top 16. If you indulge yourself like this, if you are magnified by the media, it will affect the team. In my opinion, you must be fined. Everyone, let’s fine 100 million euros."

Both of them are core players of Arsenal, and their weekly salary is more than 15 pounds. This fine is just a drizzle.

Old Zhu said: "Otto, isn't it? Is it only a fine? I think the team will be suspended for one game?"

The last group match was a formality, and Lao Zhu didn't say anything about it.

Rehhagel smiled and said: "Okay, then the team will be suspended for one game, and the next time you commit another offense, you will be directly expelled from the national team."

"Thank you leader!"

If the two were granted amnesty, they said quickly.

Walking out of the leadership room, Li Tie suddenly appeared, scaring the two of them!
"Tiezi, don't you know that people are scary, scary to death? Why are you here?" Octopus complained.

Li Tie smiled and said, "Aren't I afraid that you won't have a long memory? I'll give you a long memory!"

After finishing speaking, he kicked Octopus in the chest, kicking him upside down.

Afterwards, Li Tie slapped Chen Tao on the face again, cursing: "Okay, you two, let's start to indulge yourself now, are you all world superstars? No need to work hard anymore?"

Indulging yourself at this time is definitely a red light for your career.

Korean girls are indeed pretty, but that's not the reason for their mistakes.

It's no wonder Li Tie didn't lose his temper!
Chen Tao covered his face, so hot that he dared not make a sound.

Octopus murmured, "Tiezi, is it too late? What's the big deal for us to find a woman? Other teams, they are more indulgent than us!"

Li Tie said angrily: "This is your reason? Well, I don't care about you anymore, you can do whatever you want. If there is a problem in your career in the future, don't blame me for not reminding you today. How about you, Taozi?"

Chen Tao hurriedly said: "Brother Tie, I was wrong, and I will never dare again."

Li Tie nodded, Chen Tao was quite obedient, and the octopus twisted like this, it was clear that he would not listen to him, so there was no need to train him anymore.

Li Tie immediately removed Octopus from the second perspective. Without Vieri's fusion ability bonus, how long can Octopus stay in Arsenal?
This is a lesson, a negative teaching material, for others to see in the future, the price of indulging oneself is a plummet.

The system randomly added players from the second perspective. This time, the young player Dong Fangzhuo was favored, and his fit with Vieri was as high as 60%, and he got 60% of Vieri's abilities.

Now, Dong Fangzhuo's future will become brighter. A Vieri with fast speed will definitely surprise people by then.

The turmoil of the Chinese team has gradually passed. During training, the state of the octopus began to plummet, and Rehhagel was directly excluded from the main lineup.

Fortunately, Li Jinyu and Qu Bo's injuries have basically recovered, and they may play in the last game against Turkey.

Look for the status first, and lay the foundation for the future.

In a blink of an eye, the final round of the group stage was also in full swing.

The eye-catching battle between the French team and the Danish team finally ended 2:2. The defending champion bid farewell to the World Cup. The group failed to qualify. This is the first big upset of this World Cup.

Zidane played with an injury, but he went down again before halftime. His injury seriously affected his performance. The game was always stumbling, and he played a bit uncomfortable.

However, after Ribery came up, he gave the French team a good organization, and Henry also scored twice.

It's a pity that their defense is also full of loopholes, especially Butters' buttery hand, which was staged again this time. Three minutes before the end, Thomason's shot was weak. Unfortunately, Butters missed the ball and gave Thomason a chance to make a follow-up shot. This ultimately ruined the French team's World Cup prospects.

With Butters like this, Ferguson will definitely be kicked out, right?
In another game, Senegal also drew with Uruguay, and joined hands with Denmark to qualify with 5 points. Senegal also surprised the fans by participating in the World Cup for the first time.

Now, slapped in the face again?Those bookmakers are afraid that they will adjust their odds again.

The French team was not alone. A day later, Argentina was also drawn by Sweden, while England defeated Nigeria. The two European teams joined hands to reach the round of 16. Argentina also ended their group and went home.

Subsequently, the competitions of each group also ended one after another.

Brazil drew with Costa Rica and won a seat in the top 16. This game was not as simple as it seemed. Brazil evened the score at the last moment. If it wasn't for Kaka's long-range shot, Brazil would have followed in the footsteps of France and Argentina.

The Chinese team played as a substitute and drew with Turkey 1:1. The group won two wins and one draw with 7 points to advance unbeaten.

Several wounded players appeared on the stage, looking for their feelings, the young player Qu Bo used his speed to break into the penalty area and score a goal in the 49th minute, scoring the only goal for the Chinese team.

Qu Bo's state was adjusted well, and his speed made the opponent suffer a lot.

Li Jinyu is still a little sleepwalking, his condition is not very good, and he missed several shots in front of the goal. However, don't worry about it. A point-grabbing shooter, his condition comes very quickly. Once he enters the condition, it will be the opponent's nightmare moment.

The defense formed by Xu Yunlong and Zhang Yaokun also made Rehagel's eyes shine. These two are young and energetic, and a little impulsive, but their overall strength is good.

Li Tie immediately removed Wei Daxia from the second perspective, and the system added Xu Yunlong. His compatibility with Thuram also reached 60%, and he got 60% of Thuram's abilities.

The old international players will gradually fade out of the stage of history, and these young players are the future.

World Cup upsets continue.

Portugal failed to hold on in the end. In the last game of the group, they lost 0:1 to the host South Korea team and became another strong team that was eliminated early.

The performance of the referee in this game was once again questionable. The Portuguese team fell into offside penalties many times. In fact, at least three penalties were questionable.

The South Korean team also got a questionable penalty. Ahn Jung-hwan and Carvalho fell to the ground in the confrontation. This can also award a penalty. It seems that this referee is a bit interesting.

Unfortunately, Portugal's golden generation also bid farewell to the World Cup stage.

The top 16 were finally released, and the matchup situation also came out accordingly.
