Football irons are burning

Chapter 81 Poor Yugoslavia Team

The referee's whistle blew, penalty kick!

The German players hugged each other excitedly to celebrate the penalty.

General Fan was a little helpless, this player was sometimes quite helpless.

After complaining to the referee, General Fan also walked away, and the penalty cannot be changed.

Bierhoff personally operated the knife and shot a burst to rewrite the score to 2:2.

Just 10 minutes into the second half, the German team equalized the score.

At this time, the German fans in the stands finally started to cheer.

This score is very safe. Even if the Yugoslavia team over there plays 100:0, it will not help. The German team will still qualify.

Li Tie is also a little helpless. The tenacity of the German team is really not for bragging.

The Chinese team did not let the water go, but they just couldn't prevent Bierhoff.

This golden retriever seems to be really powerful, and his header skills are really nothing to say.

Zhang Heizi couldn't restrain Bierhoff at all, and General Fan was not so lucky, he actually touched the ball with his hand.

I don't know if Bierhoff headed the ball like this on purpose.

After equalizing the score, the rhythm of the German team also slowed down. The goal has been achieved, and of course they will not be in a hurry.

Because they have one less person, it is right to be cautious at this time.

After the re-kick-off, the scene quickly stalemate.

The defense of the German team has become more tenacious, and the offense of the national football team also lacks slack. It is obviously difficult to knock on the door of the German team just relying on Zhang Xiaorui's dribbling and Li Jinyu's running position.

Li Ming and Wu Chengying on both sides were quickly restricted by their opponents and could not pass the threatening ball. Sometimes even if they broke through, but there was only Li Jinyu in the middle, it was difficult to form a threat.

However, Li Jinyu still had two shots, which shocked the German goalkeeper Kopke into a cold sweat.

It's a pity that the two shots on goal slipped out.

If there is still pursuit at this time, a striker must be sent to strengthen the attack. If someone supports him, the chance of Li Jinyu scoring must be greater.

But it's a pity that Rehhagel has no desires and desires. This game is to train the team, and he will definitely not send forwards.

Therefore, the scene became very dull.

On the other side, Yugoslavia scored two goals in a row, pulling the score to 6:0.
The US team was completely powerless to resist.

It's a pity that their efforts can only be judged by the faces of others.

The game time runs out quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it's 80 minutes.

The German team replaced Kirsten with Talaat and began to defend with all their strength.

The Chinese team also replaced Zhang Xiaorui and Li Jinyu. In this regard, the result of the game is actually not much expected, and it will definitely not change.

The Chinese team also has no desire to win. After all, it has already qualified. This is the way any team will choose in this state.

Who wants to exhaust their energy for another team?Isn't that a fool?

Therefore, the Yugoslav team can only lament the ill-fated fate.

This talented team is destined to miss the round of 16.

The 90-minute game was full, and there was almost no stoppage time on both sides, and the whistle was blown quickly.

In the end, the Chinese team drew with the German team 2:2, ranked first with 7 points from two wins and one draw, and ranked second with 5 points from the German team with one win and two draws. The two teams joined hands to qualify from Group F.

Although the Yugoslavia team beat the US team 6:0, they still only ranked third in the group and bid farewell to this World Cup with regret.

"It's a pity that the team is out. We played beautiful football, which is enough to comfort the Yugoslav fans. I will be responsible for the team's exit and I will resign as the head coach of the Yugoslavia team."

Santrazzi was exhausted after the game. Although he was unwilling, he decided to resign to express his sincerity.

On the other hand, Vogts felt relieved: "The Chinese team is a force that cannot be ignored. They almost made us despair. I think everyone can see Otto's coaching ability, and the success of the Chinese team is also the success of German football. I wish both teams good luck."

On the second day, the media from various countries gave very good comments on Group F, and also affirmed the spirit of fairness of the Chinese team.

L'Equipe: The lack of Li Tie's Chinese team almost knocked out the German team, and two penalty kicks made the game a dramatic scene, but obviously Germany's penalty kick was more far-fetched, but this is football, and the referee's decision may be correct.

The Times: The last fig leaf of the German team was torn away. Facing the second Chinese team, they almost lost.The Yugoslavia team won a big victory. I don’t know what the name of this country will be in the next World Cup. Bless them!
Yomiuri Shimbun: The Chinese team defended the honor of Asian football. They almost made the Germans desperate, and the penalty kick was puzzling.

Lens Airport.

Li Tie is saying goodbye to Stankovic.

Stankovic's contract has been basically finalized, with an annual salary of 80 marks. Next season, he will fight for Kaiserslautern.

So, Li Tie came to bid farewell to his new brother.

For Stankovic, he naturally attaches great importance to it.Even if the team already has Deco, Stankovic is obviously more adaptable to European football than Deco.

The most important thing is Li Tie's own position. Now that he has integrated Pepe's ability, his position next season can be arranged more flexibly. Therefore, there is still no problem with one more Stankovic.

Li Tie's series of efforts have paid off, and next season's Kaiserslautern will be extremely strong.

"Brother, don't be sad, you will lead Yugoslavia to a higher level in the future. Relax, let's fight side by side next season and win the Champions League." Li Tie said with his arms around Stankovic's shoulders.

Stankovic sighed and said: "The sorrow will last for a few days. We played well, but unfortunately we were eliminated in the end. Don't worry, I will not be so fragile. Next season, let us create brilliance together, and I wish you all go further."

Li Tie smiled wryly and said: "It doesn't matter much to me if we go far. No matter how far we go, can we still make it to the finals? Okay, take a good vacation and see you in Kaiserslautern then!"

Coming out of the airport, Li Tie also felt a little emotional. To a large extent, Yugoslavia was sent away by himself. The first game became a big reason.

Of course, if they can beat the German team in the second game, then they will also control their own destiny.

It's a pity that there is no if in the football field, everything is fate.

The World Cup group stage will soon be over, and the top 16 will be produced one after another.

Europe occupies 9 seats, which is still very strong.The traditional strong teams Germany, England, Italy, France, and the Netherlands have all entered the top 16. Although the Yugoslavia team was eliminated, his little brother Croatia made it to the top 16.

South America has 4 seats. The South American teams are also very good. Except for Colombia, all of them have reached the top 16.

The favorites, Brazil and Argentina, also passed easily, but in the next duel, Brazil will fight Chile desperately, Salas and Zamorano's teams are not easy to mess with, and Argentina will also compete with England.

As we all know, the Falklands War made the two countries enemies.

On the football field, the Argentine team can always win face for the Chinese and take revenge in this field.Maradona's hand of God shocked God back then, and I don't know whether the England team will be able to avenge their shame in this World Cup.

One team each from Asia, Africa and North and Central America.

It seems that the sport of football is still a battle between Europe and America.

And the opponent of the Chinese team in the quarter-finals is also the Mexican team, a team with a high level of skills and tactics!
One advantage is that there is no need to move the place. The quarter-finals will be held in Lens.

Li Tie is still unable to play, and against the Mexican team, he also feels that the national football team is not easy to play.

Fortunately, the current state of the Chinese team is also good. Generally speaking, there is always a [-]-[-] split, right?

After a rest day, the team began to resume training.

Li Tie also insisted on training with his teammates. However, he took the initiative to fade out, and the team trained in groups, and did not make do with it, trying to make these teammates have a chemical reaction.

The main job is to guide Zheng Zhi. Although this kid is young now, he already has a strong sense of the overall situation. It feels different to let him kick the back.

Zheng Zhi prefers to pass the ball in a wide range and mobilize the opponent, which is different from Li Tie.

However, his defense is still a bit weak. Although he is also very active in running, he is more superstitious about his own foot skills.

It's no wonder that he is not yet 18 years old and immature.

Therefore, Li Tie continued to teach Zheng Zhi his own experience, and Zheng Zhi did not refuse Li Tie's kindness, and learned very seriously.
