king of world football

Chapter 482: Unpopular

All the matchups of the quarterfinals are released: Netherlands VS Brazil, Uruguay VS Germany, China VS Argentina, Paraguay VS Spain.

In the confrontation between Europe and South America, the Chinese team became the only odd number, which made the Japanese and Korean media who were eliminated miserably envious.

Japan's "Sports Knowledge Daily" believes that currently only the Chinese team in Asia has the possibility to compete for the World Cup. "I have to admit that Wang Feng is too important for the improvement of the entire team's strength, not only limited to the club, but also to the national team."

"As he is about to turn 27, he is also ushering in his golden years as an athlete. His physical condition and skills are at the top level. Numerous experiences have proved that he is the key figure who can determine the outcome of the game!"

However, "Sports Zhibao" also stated that the world-class competitiveness of the Chinese team is likely to be short-lived. Japan's overall football and youth training development is far better than that of China, and it is also healthier.

As the Chinese superstar ages, his technical and tactical level will definitely decline gradually. At that time, the team without a systematic talent reserve will inevitably decline. Only one or two stars will not be able to support it. "Wang Feng is unique. "

"Japan has already set its sights on the future! After a few decades of development, European countries will be full of Japanese players, and a strong reserve force will help the national team win the World Cup!"

The South Korean media is even more envious of the appearance of a world-renowned football star like Wang Feng in China. They are extremely concerned about their "face" in the world.

"Seoul Sports Daily" believes that South Korea should also actively cultivate local superstars. Park Ji-sung is the most successful case, but in the future, both in quantity and quality must surpass him.

1/4决赛首场战斗在南非当地时间7月2日下午16点准时打响,对阵双方是荷兰与巴西。

The Selecao took the lead in the 10th minute, Melo made a direct pass, the Dutch central defender had a deadly gap, and Robinho scored with a single-handed shot from the edge of the penalty area.

It was not until the 53rd minute of the second half that the Dutch team equalized the score. Sneijder made a pass from the right. Cesar made a mistake and collided with teammate Melo. The ball was pushed into his own goal by Melo.

After 15 minutes, Robben took a corner kick on the right, Dirk Didier headed back, and Sneijder scored with a header from 4 yards, helping the Oranje to reverse the situation. Wang Feng's two Real Madrid teammates were the key forces for the Dutch team to win.

The lagging Brazil team was very anxious. In the 74th minute, Melo kicked down Robben and then trampled on the opponent very badly. The referee Nishimura Yuichi decisively sent him off with a red card.

Since then, the two sides have intensified their confrontational actions, conflicts continued on and off the field, and the whistle sounded one after another. The most interesting thing was the 76th minute. Dutch defender Aoyer interfered with the opponent and took a quick throw-in. Yuichi Nishimura consciously drew a red card Mistake, and took out a yellow card to explain.

At the end of the game, the score did not change again, and the ten-man Samba Corps was eliminated tragically, creating the biggest upset in the quarter-finals of the World Cup.

Brazil is the number one favorite to win the World Cup, followed by Argentina and Spain. Among all the eight teams, China ranks seventh in the prospect of winning the championship, only higher than Paraguay.

The famous "crow's mouth" Pele said before the game: "Brazil will definitely win. They are the most stable of all teams. I think the future of other teams is unpredictable. Only Brazil has no suspense in the final."

Unexpectedly, the result is just the opposite. In fact, this is not the first time he has "made a contribution" in this World Cup. Pele had previously said that the African teams would perform well, and they were wiped out in the group stage.

Brazil coach Dunga said after the game that he may not be the coach of the Brazil team again. "This is a sad and unexpected result. We played well in the first half, but we couldn't maintain the same rhythm in the second half. .”

"It was a lack of concentration. There are 90 minutes in a World Cup game. The details make the difference. Unfortunately, when you are behind, everyone is impatient."

Although Dunga did not accuse anyone, the media still believed that Melo, who received a red card, was the team's biggest culprit. He not only created an own goal to equalize the score, but also made malicious fouls when he was behind 1:2 and was punished by a red card. Under this situation, the Samba Army will have one less person to fight, and completely lose the chance of reversal.

In fact, this Brazilian midfielder also has bad records in the club. When he played for Fiorentina in the 08-09 season, he had a conflict with Cagliari captain Lopez in the player channel. As a result, his opponent's wrist was broken, and he was also suspended. Five executions.

After moving to Juventus, Melo received the most yellow cards in the team, and even had a face-to-face quarrel with coach Zaccheroni, so the club is planning to deal with him at a low price.

Many Brazilian celebrities expressed their dissatisfaction with Melo after the game. Ronaldo even wrote on Twitter: "Really, Felipe should not return to Brazil for vacation at this time." I don't know if he is worried about Melo's safety. I still don't think he deserves to go home.

Of course, in addition to this culprit, coach Dunga's national team roster is also controversial. Ronaldinho, Adriano, Pato, and Marcelo all lost.

There are rumors that Dunga will choose some unknown players in Brazil to enter the national team, and these players will "gild" through the national team to increase their worth and annual salary, and then "honour" to the head coach.

This is why there are always some strange figures in Dunga's previous national teams, and even if some players perform very well, they can only often sit on the bench.

.........

Compared with the turbulent and chaotic Selecao, the Netherlands showed lofty ambitions. Coach Van Marwijk said that the team played a gorgeous game, which silenced those who laughed.

"Being behind 0:1 in the first half, I believe everyone will be very worried, but I will not. I told the players during the halftime break that you can do better. It is true in the second half. To be honest, if you have a better ability to grasp opportunities, Maybe Holland can beat Brazil by four or five!"

"It goes without saying that our goal is the Hercules Cup!"

Sneijder, who won the best player of the game, said in an interview that all the players are excellent, and everyone works together to eliminate powerful enemies, and they will not be afraid of any opponent.

Although the Oranje is full of confidence and the prospect of winning the championship has risen sharply, some media pointed out that from the perspective of World Cup history, most of the most popular teams eliminated will only win the runner-up.

For example, in 1986, France was the most popular team recognized by the outside world, but they were defeated by Germany 2:0 in the semi-finals, and the German chariots lost to Argentina 2:3 in the final.

And in 1990, the host Italy was the biggest favorite, but the team lost to Argentina on penalties.Then the Pampas Eagles lost 0:1 to Germany in the final.
