Chapter 526

After the South Korean team advanced, the quarter-finals of this World Cup have all been produced.Although many upsets broke out in this World Cup, France, Argentina, and Italy were all eliminated one after another.But the advancement of China, South Korea and Senegal also made the top eight teams more diverse.

The quarterfinals of this World Cup are: Europe: Germany, Spain, England, Portugal; South America: Brazil; Asia: China, South Korea; Africa: Senegal.

This is also the first time that two Asian teams have advanced to the quarter-finals. Many Asian media frantically printed reports such as "The Rise of Asian Football" and "Asian Teams Win the Championship".

In their view, two Asian teams mean a quarter chance of winning the championship, and no matter who wins the championship, they will follow suit.

The South Korean media also happily reported that China and South Korea joined forces to qualify, celebrating the long-lasting friendship between the two countries, making progress and developing together.

Even "Seoul Sports" also threatened that the South Korean team will join forces with the Chinese team in the final and jointly win the championship and runner-up of this World Cup.Of course, as for who won the championship and who won the runner-up, they did not explain.

For Chinese fans and players, they are ashamed to be with South Korea.Even with repeated orders from the Football Association, the words of the players are full of contempt for the South Korean team.

"I think we rushed here with our strength, South Korea? South Korea's promotion has nothing to do with us! Rather than saying that they are excellent in strength, it is better to say that they borrowed the light of the host. And everyone watched the game against Italy. If you ask me, the South Korean team really has nothing to beat Italy!" Facing the camera, *** said so.

"In my opinion, Italy's elimination was a complete accident! If FIFA hadn't found such a low-level referee, the outcome would have been unknown!" Although Ma Mingyu spoke relatively restrainedly, it could be seen from his eyes how much he despised the referee of that match.

In the end, the Football Association could only issue a ban, asking the players to practice more and appear less in front of the camera.

After the quarter-finals, each team rested for three days.The fans' current situation and analysis of this World Cup are also summarized here.

Xinhua News Agency: The "grave" of second-rate strong teams - a summary of the quarter-finals of the World Cup.

"The top eight teams in this World Cup are either "first-rate" or "third-rate". The eighth-finals of the World Cup football match have become the grave of "second-rate" teams."

"Brazil, England, Germany, Spain, Portugal vs Senegal, China, South Korea. Half sea water, half fire."

"China, South Korea, and Senegal all appeared in upsets, and the Italian team became the only first-class team that lost in the quarter-finals."

"The victories of the Chinese team and the South Korean team enabled the Asian team to achieve the best results in the history of the World Cup (the North Korean team reached the top 1966 in 8, but there were only 16 participating teams at that time)."

"In this World Cup, three Asian teams broke into the top [-] of the World Cup, and two teams broke into the quarterfinals of the World Cup. The East Asian plate has suddenly risen in world football."

"Of course there is a host factor in this, but the great progress of these three teams is obvious to all. Their overall strength has climbed to the second-tier level in the world, and they have no advantage in the confrontation with European and American teams. They just lack experience and the ability to seize opportunities."

"Propelled by strong economic strength, East Asian football has begun to dominate Asian football and occupy a certain position in the world. This is also the biggest change in this World Cup."

"The Nordic duo Denmark and Sweden are out, as well as Belgium, Mexico, Paraguay, Ireland and Japan, the second-rate teams that made up the source of upsets in the group stage, but fell victim to stronger or weaker teams in the quarter-finals."

"There has never been a World Cup as average as this one, which is also the main reason why the second-tier teams failed in the second round."

"Except for England and Brazil, the super two teams that won the game, the other six round-of-6 games were won by one goal, and there were three games where the winner could not be decided within 90 minutes. This also fully demonstrates the closeness of the teams in this World Cup."

"The Senegal team, another "lion" from Africa roared into the quarter-finals. Like the "invincible lion" Cameroon, they also had the best results of an African team-entering the quarter-finals of the World Cup. Since they will face the Portuguese team, which is stronger but short of major generals, in the next game, they are likely to write a new magnificent chapter for African football."

"Tai Chi Tiger also played their own style. Under the leadership of Holland coach Guus Hiddink, the South Korean team has historically reached the quarter-finals of the World Cup. Although many European media clamored for Spain to give them a little bit of suffering, the optimistic Koreans still expressed their willingness to wrestle with the matador. After all, they almost squeezed out Portugal in the group stage and eliminated Italy in the knockout round."

"This is the first World Cup for the Chinese team. In this World Cup, [-] Chinese players are still writing history. The first goal, the second, the third. Scored twice, hat-trick, defeat, draw, victory, top [-], quarter-finals. These honors are won by many countries through entering the World Cup finals several times. But for China Dragon, they did it for the first time. points."

"It can be said that there are three dark horses emerging in this World Cup, and no World Cup has more dark horses than this one."

"Of course, from the numerical analysis, the traditional strong teams and the dark polo teams are evenly divided. Considering the situation of upsets in the group stage, the traditional strong teams gradually began to regain lost ground."

"But the magnitude of the recovery hasn't brought them back to the level of complete control they had in the past. Or, they are also paying off the debt for the poor performance in the group stage."

"The traditional strong teams represented by Brazil and England began to exert their strength. In fact, these two teams are also the easiest to win in the quarter-finals."

"Unfortunately, the two super giants in the quarter-finals are about to stage an "England-Pakistan battle" in the next game. For these two football giants, only one can survive. This also increases the chances of the dark horses getting better results in disguise."

"Perhaps, in the quarter-finals, Hao Qiang will have a direct dialogue with the dark horse. This dialogue will to some extent determine the direction of world football for a period of time."

"Is the traditional strong team continuing to rule the world? Or is the weak team accumulating? I think the results of the next game will give us the best answer."
