Football: The strongest post-zero generation.
Chapter 424: Winning streak and advancement
England's lead is an expected result. In addition to Nigeria's relatively luxurious offensive line, Ndidi is also well-known on the defensive end. The level of popularity cannot be linked to the strength of the team, but the England internationals are the main players of the major Premier League giants. Overall The strength is definitely higher than that of Nigerian defensive players who are involved in low-level competitions.
Coupled with a top monster shooter like Li Qing, how can a Nigerian player with no reputation or strength be guarded against?
If the defense cannot prevent England's offense, how can the offense put pressure on England's defense?
This is also the fundamental reason why Southgate forms a diamond position in the midfield, because Li Qing's forward taking of the ball and passing the ball can pose a huge threat to Nigeria's defense, leaving him no time to consider offense.
"aoaooaaooooooooo——"
The sky above Rostov Arena rang out with the continuous loud cheers made by England fans and Chinese fans. The number of Nigerian fans was already small, so their presence was very low.
The players on the field can't even feel the support, and their combat effectiveness will definitely be damaged a lot.
Ighalo and Iheanacho are the kind of players who need strong support from their teammates. When Mikel, Ndidi and Moses put most of their attention on defense, there is no way to switch from defense to attack. Timely participation means that the backcourt players can only adopt long passes and lobs.
Stones and Iheanacho are club teammates and they know where their younger brother's weaknesses are. However, Ighalo's ability to fight has dropped significantly after he came to Yatai to make money. He has no resistance at all when facing Maguire, who weighs up to 100 kilograms. ability.
However, after conceding the ball, Nigeria's defense did well. Until the end of the first half, Li Qing seized the opportunity and sent a scalpel-like precise pass in the midfield. Harry Kane shot the ball and the football was close to the ball. The ground rolled towards the lower right corner of the goal, and the score on the scoreboard changed to 2:0.
In the second half, Nigeria changed sides and fought again. Nigeria, which had fallen behind in two periods, had no choice. Their last round match against Argentina was definitely a life-and-death battle. In order to reduce the pressure in the final round, a draw with England in the second round was particularly important.
Nigeria tried to strengthen its offense, but the control of football was firmly controlled by England. The Nigerian players who wanted to score goals to reduce the score were very depressed.
Li Qing, who mainly plays as an attacking midfielder, is not particularly eager to score goals. He rarely attempts consecutive dribbles and long-range shots. He mostly creates opportunities by passing them to his teammates. Unfortunately, the happy boys Sterling and Rashford frequently waste opportunities.
The fanatical atmosphere in the Rostov Arena did not diminish due to the lack of goals. On the contrary, it became more and more fanatical as time went by, with deafening loud chants echoing throughout the stadium.
Of course, these voices are brought by England fans, Chinese fans and neutral fans.
As Harry Kane also missed the opportunity, Li Qing decided to finish the final blow himself.
In the 62nd minute, Li Qing suddenly accelerated in the middle and played a wonderful one-two with Henderson, Harry Kane and Rashford to break into the penalty area.
Facing goalkeeper Juanfran, he chose to very calmly push the shot into the far corner, and the score on the scoreboard became 3:0.
Nigeria, which is already three goals behind, has no choice. It finally got two goal differentials in the first round. This time it became a negative result. Let’s not talk about the results of tomorrow’s game between Argentina and Iceland. In order to qualify from the group, at least The goal difference must be reduced to 0, which means a net loss of at most two goals.
But England defended very well and the score did not change until the end of the game.
It means that England defeated Nigeria 3:0 in the group stage at the Rostov Arena with Li Qing's two shots and one pass, and qualified early with two consecutive wins in the group.
With a seven-goal difference, regardless of the outcome of the match between Iceland and Argentina tomorrow afternoon, England will almost lock in first place in the group in advance!
Nigeria, with its last group match left, has 3 points and a goal difference of -1, while England has 6 points and a 7-goal difference.
Assuming that Argentina wins the game tomorrow afternoon and Argentina wins the last round, the points are only six points. Argentina, which lost by a large margin in the first round, won two consecutive games and may not be able to turn a -4 goal difference into a +5. Goal difference, and Argentina's two consecutive wins will inevitably result in Nigeria losing. Therefore, as long as England does not lose by a large margin in the last round, it can still beat Argentina and take first place in the group with its goal difference advantage.
The second hypothesis is that Iceland defeats Argentina. With 3 points and 3 points, Argentina's two consecutive losses will mean being eliminated early, making the qualifying situation in Group D relatively stalemate. Iceland and Nigeria both have 3 points, and they will play England in the final round. Unless Iceland wins by a big score, it will not be able to defeat England and qualify, unless... Nigeria loses points in the last round.
The last assumption is that Argentina and Iceland draw in a draw tomorrow afternoon. If both teams score one point each, England's victory in the group is basically certain, because at the same time, England lost to Iceland by a big score and Nigeria beat Argentina by a big score. The possibility is almost zero.
Besides, England was humiliatingly eliminated by Iceland in the 1/8 finals of the European Cup in France two years ago. When they meet again in the World Cup group stage two years later, they must avenge the loss of two years ago, and having Iceland eliminated is the last resort. Good revenge!
The second round of the World Cup Group D match between England and Nigeria ended. Sports media and fans around the world remained highly excited and gave all their praise to Li Qing.
He contributed six goals in the two rounds of the World Cup group stage. According to the winners of the Golden Boot Award in recent World Cups, this number of goals can basically win the Golden Boot Award.
Of course, no one doubts that Li Qing will win the Golden Boot of the World Cup in Russia, because his scoring efficiency is there. There is no golden boot award in the top ten betting companies in the world. From this, we can see that Li Qing will win the Golden Boot in the World Cup. Before the start of the game, he was extremely optimistic about winning the Golden Boot award of this World Cup.
Therefore, the world's major betting companies have only one way to play Li Qing's goal, and that is how many goals he can score in the end.
According to the real-time data given by the betting company, there are almost no lottery players who buy Li Qing to score less than 6 goals. Most of them buy between 10 and 15 goals. Therefore, many fans believe that Li Qing can completely beat the French star Fontaine in 1958. In that year, he set a record of scoring 13 goals in a single World Cup.
Li Qing was too lazy to read the overwhelming reports. When the whole team took a flight to Kaliningrad, the second round of the group match between Argentina and Iceland at the Nizhny Novgod Stadium also kicked off.
Argentina, whose overall strength was significantly better, was obviously affected by the disastrous defeat in the first round and was slow to show its form. Messi even missed a penalty kick, ruining Argentina's chance of winning, and the game ended in a 1:1 draw.
As a result, after two rounds in Group D, England ranked first with 6 points, Nigeria ranked second with 3 points, and Iceland, which had 1 point, overtook Argentina for third place with its goal difference advantage.
No one expected that Argentina, the favorite to win the championship, only accumulated 1 point in two rounds.
However, because Argentina has the highest chance of qualifying against Nigeria in the last round, Argentina's domestic media and fans did not feel completely desperate, because Argentina can basically guarantee qualifying as long as it wins in the final round.
Unless, England knocks them out.
