Football irons are burning

Chapter 405 The defending champion's World Cup is over

The night is sultry, the two love each other wholeheartedly, and the stars are blinking in the sky, telling their blessings.

After a long time, the two leaned together to talk.

Of course, Li Tie also learned a lot of things in this year through Liu Fei. When he learned that Liu Fei sold the Clippers and Millwall, Li Tie was also a little emotional, but he didn't blame Liu Fei.

This year, it's really hard for Liu Fei, she has to worry about it inside and out.

"Starting tomorrow, I have to exercise hard, otherwise, with this body shape, playing football will be a bit troublesome. Let's continue exercising and treat it as if you helped me lose weight!"

On June 6, the Chinese team faced Trinidad and Tobago, the second opponent of this World Cup, at the Signal Iduna Park Stadium.

However, after the opening, the live broadcast camera was aimed at Li Tie in the stands, and the Chinese and German fans on the scene also cheered.

Li Tie arrived here a day ago, and he can only observe this World Cup.

Seeing the camera pointing at him, he also stood up, waved at the camera, waved at the stands, and then sat down to watch the game.

However, this scene must have been passed on to thousands of households. Li Tie's recovery has also made his fans gratified.

For the Trinidad and Tobago team, many fans may know Yorke, the former Manchester United killer. He and Cole formed the Black Wind Shuangsha, which was the famous striker combination of Manchester United in the seasons around the century.

The other striker, Stern John, is also a Premier League striker with good strength.

But after the game started, the Chinese team quickly took control of the situation.

It is estimated that Li Tie's presence on the field also encouraged his teammates, they played very smoothly.

In the 9th minute, before Sun Ji Haihai Road broke through and knocked on the goal, Dong Fangzhuo deliberately missed the first point, and then Qu Bo easily shot into the lower left corner of the goal, 1:0!

Qu Bo also rushed to the sidelines, lifted his jersey, revealing the T-shirt inside, which read: Captain, are you okay?

This was obviously planned before the game, and Qu Bo used a goal to welcome Li Tie's comeback.

In this regard, Li Tie also laughed, feeling particularly happy.

This goal also opened up the situation.

Qu Bo's state seems to be back again. Originally, he was unconvincing in training, but Zhu Huguang didn't make a temporary substitution, and let Qu Bo and Dong Fangzhuo start as partners.

This goal gave Zhu Huguang a reassurance.

Subsequently, the state of the Chinese team improved slightly, but the ability to seize opportunities in front of the goal was relatively poor.

Fortunately, the opponent's strength is also relatively poor, and their offense did not score any goals. The two sides dedicated a drowsy game later.

In the end, the score of the game was 1:0. The Chinese team defeated Trinidad and Tobago and won the first victory of this World Cup.

After the game, Zhu Huguang also mentioned Li Tie: "I am very happy that Li Tie has finally recovered. He is sitting in the stands, which is also a great encouragement to his teammates! We played well in midfield today and controlled the situation on the field very well. This is very important to win the game. Next time against England, we still have to do our best to win and avoid being out of the group."

Li Tie then also met with the national team, but he had nothing to say, after all, he is not a member of the national team.

The key point of talking to a few teammates is still the issue of defense. I hope they can change their style of play and use defensive counterattacks in the last game to deal with England. Maybe they can win the game and qualify.

In fact, at this moment, the national football players don't take it seriously. They still feel that they are still the same as before, the world champions, and the main players in the five major leagues.

This mentality is bound to go bad sooner or later.

In another game, England defeated Mexico 4:1, leading the standings with two consecutive victories.

However, in the last round of the Sino-British duel, if the Chinese team wins and the Mexican team beats Trinidad and Tobago, the three teams will all have 6 points. Whoever can qualify will have to count the small points.

Therefore, the situation of this group is not clear.

However, with the current state of the Chinese team, it is basically unrealistic to want to win the England team.

Now the England team is very strong. Gerrard, Lampard, Rooney, Beckham and others are all in excellent condition. It is still difficult for the Chinese team to win without Li Tie.

On June 6, the Sino-British War officially started.

Li Tie continued to sit in the stands to watch the game. Naturally, this game also attracted a large number of fans from both sides to watch the game. The World Cup stadium in Cologne was full of seats.

Less than a minute after the start of the game, Deco made a diagonal pass from the center, and Qu Bo took the ball from the side and cut into the penalty area and volleyed. As a result, the ball hit Terry's feet and refracted into the net, 1:1!

The Chinese team got off to a fantastic start.

Terry's state is also a bit problematic. He seems to be a little sloppy on his feet, and he also has some problems running.

England coach Fabio Capello also yelled at Terry in dissatisfaction, thinking that he should not appear in that position.

Terry naturally had nothing to say.

Three minutes later, Deco passed to Qu Bo again. Qu Bo made a breakthrough from the side, and then made a pass. Terry shoveled and tried to destroy it. As a result, the ball hit his body and bounced again. Dong Fangzhuo keenly caught the fighter at close range.

This opening is really too dreamy!

Now Deco is the only player in the Chinese team whose performance can be called world-class. Without Li Tie, Deco has gradually become the core. These two passes have demonstrated his demeanor of a world-class midfielder.

And Terry's poor performance made the England fans at the scene very dissatisfied. After he got up, he booed him.

There is no doubt that his performance was terrible.

Capello angrily asked Carragher and Campbell to warm up. In this game, he tried his best to let Terry start, but he did not expect that the gift Terry gave him would be a knife that pierced into Capello's heart.

But then, the England team took advantage of the corner kick, and Terry rushed to the goal to get back a point.

Seeing this scene, Capello also suspended substitutions. After all, Terry performed well this time and is worth looking forward to.

The England team then took the initiative on the field, while the Chinese team defended in an all-round way and was in a passive position.

Before halftime, Gerrard scored a long shot, 2:2, the two sides returned to the same starting line!
This score is acceptable to the England team. One point is enough for them to qualify first in the group, but the Chinese team is not satisfied. After all, Mexico is already 1:3 ahead of Trinidad and Tobago. With real-time points, England has 0 points, Mexico has 7 points, China has 6 points, and Trinidad and Tobago has 4 points. The Chinese team will be eliminated.

In the second half of the game, the England team retreated to the backcourt and maintained a defensive posture.

The Chinese team went all out to attack.

However, the Chinese team made more and more mistakes.

In the 59th minute, Qu Bo stopped the ball too far and was intercepted by Bridge. Bridge then passed straight to Rooney. Rooney passed Zheng Zhi through the crotch, and then broke through Zhang Heizi who came up to intercept him. Facing Li Datou, Rooney made a lateral pass with his feet.

This also made the Chinese fans extremely disappointed. In the stands, they looked lonely and sad.

Li Tie did not watch the game from the stand this time, he watched the game at home.

For this, he is mentally prepared.

Originally leading by two, if Zhu Huguang properly told the team to stop at this time, maybe they could still win.

But in the end, Zhu Huguang did not make any tactical changes to allow England to equalize or even overtake. This is nothing to do.

Zheng Zhi, Chen Tao, Qu Bo and others all suffered serious declines, all supported by Deke's single plank.

Such a national team is difficult to compete with the England team.

Not surprisingly, in this game, the Chinese team has no hope.

In the 73rd minute, Deco was injured and left the field. The last hope of the Chinese team was also shattered.

Sure enough, the Chinese team scored 2 goals later by the England team with a counterattack. In the whole game, the Chinese team lost to the England team 2:5, and the World Cup trip came to an abrupt end!

The defending champion, Momo, also officially started a cycle tour in the World Cup finals.
