The ninety-fourth chapter thirty-two strong tour (4)

The ninety-fourth chapter thirty-two strong tour (4)

The stage of the World Cup will never lack excitement, and it will never lack freshness. Almost every World Cup will have new troops rushing to become a member of the World Cup stage, and this time is of course no exception.

Group F: This group is full of freshness, including defending champion Italy, South American powerful Paraguay, Oceania upstart New Zealand and World Cup newcomer Slovakia.

Italy is the head of this group. After successfully winning the 2006 World Cup, Italy will compete as the defending champion in the World Cup in South Africa. Italy, which has won the World Cup four times, is second only to Brazil, which has won five times. .

In this World Cup qualifier, the group situation of Italy in the same group as Ireland and Bulgaria is quite ideal, but the road to qualifying for Italy is not easy, and there are not many surprises. , Italy did not have a clear advantage on the field.

In the 2009 Intercontinental Nations Cup, the Italian team, which lost to Egypt and Brazil, failed to qualify. Among them, the disastrous defeat to Brazil fully exposed the strength gap between Italy and the world's top teams.

After successfully leading Italy to win the 2006 World Cup, Lippi handed over the coaching seal of the national team, but when Italy's performance in the 2008 European Cup was not satisfactory, Lippi once again served as the national team coach.

Lippi, nicknamed "Silver Fox", achieved great success during his coaching of Juventus, and after becoming the head coach of the national team, Juventus players accounted for a considerable proportion of the national team, even though Juventus' record this season Quite bad, even though many international players who played for Juventus are not in ideal condition and are already senior players, Lippi still stubbornly brought them to the World Cup in South Africa.

Some people say that Lippi is nostalgic, and some people say that Lippi is stubborn, but when it comes to the selection of players, Lippi's approach is obviously a bit biased. As in recent seasons, Fiorentina, which has performed the best in world football, should have provided more for the Italian national team. Too many international players, but it's a pity that Lippi completely turned a blind eye, and in the end only Montolivo and Pacini were called in.

Others like Ledesma, Marjorie, Cristo, Ranocchia, Bonucci, etc. were all ignored by Lippi, so that Digan couldn't bear it. After arriving in South Africa, the first interview At that time, the Italian stinky old man was bombarded.

"His head always lives

In the nineties, so much so that my brothers were suckling babies in his eyes! "

At present, Italy's main lineup is still based on the players who won the 2006 World Cup. The phenomenon of Italy's underrepresentation is quite serious. The main lineup is seriously aging.

On the front line, the state of Iaquinta, Gilardino and other international players is not ideal. Pacini's strength is good, but it is a pity that in Lippi's team, Pacini has always been just a substitute role.

The front line is not satisfactory, and Italy is also difficult to have bright spots in other positions. In the 2006 World Cup, the Italian defense led by Cannavaro was impenetrable, but the players have always been difficult to resist the traces of the years. Canna, who is about to turn 37 years old Varro's state has inevitably declined. In Juventus this season, Cannavaro has been unable to support the defense, but in the national team, Cannavaro, who has played the most times, will still appear in the World Cup in South Africa as the captain. on the field.

Cannavaro and his Juventus teammate Chiellini will be Italy's first choice in the central defender position, and Chiellini's rapid growth in his prime of life reflects Cannavaro's Luo's old man.

As long as there is no injury, Buffon is still Italy's first choice for the goalkeeper position. Many rising stars in Serie A are still difficult to replace Buffon. In the 2006 World Cup, Buffon's performance was impeccable, and it was even more important for Italy to finally win the championship. key factor.

Due to the downturn of Juventus this season, Buffon's performance has dimmed a lot, but in the national team, Buffon is still the number one goalkeeper.

As Italy's offensive organizer, Pirlo's role in the Italian team is also irreplaceable. Pirlo, who originally played the midfielder position, retreated in the position of AC Milan and was successfully transformed into an organizational midfielder. The great success of the placement has benefited AC Milan a lot. Italy copied the experience of AC Milan and also achieved great success. In the 2006 World Cup, Pirlo, who was the actual starting point of Italy's attack, shined brilliantly.

As the brain of the team, Pirlo has mastered the offensive rhythm. In the position of the defensive midfielder, Pirlo has gained more chances to pass and receive the ball, using precise long and short passes to control the team's offense time and time again.

Pirlo's erratic free kick is even more unique. The fallen leaf ball that suddenly falls like an elevator is his specialty, and his penalty kick skills are also quite deep. The silent and low-key Pirlo is elegant on the court. He controls the ball, but can pass the deadly ball in an instant. In the current Italian formation, it is still difficult to find a replacement for Pirlo.

Italy's biggest competitor in this group will be the mighty Paraguay from South America. This is Paraguay's fourth consecutive entry to the World Cup finals. In the 2006 World Cup, Paraguay failed to qualify for the group. In this World Cup qualifier, Paraguay, which overwhelmed Argentina, successfully qualified as the third place in South America. After 18 rounds of qualifiers, Paraguay is the second-lowest team in South America after Brazil. , solid defense is still the treasure of Paraguay's town team, in addition, sharp counterattack is Paraguay's main means of attack.

The title of Paraguay's core player deservedly belongs to Valdes. During the World Cup qualifiers, in Paraguay's home victory over Argentina, it was Valdes who scored the winning goal.

But regardless of playing for Werder Bremen or switching to Dortmund, Valdes' scoring rate is not high every season, but Valdes, who is good at playing big games, is still a player that every head coach cannot give up.

Paraguay's number one star is Santa Cruz, who became famous at a young age. Santa Cruz, who has a handsome face, has been regarded as the hope of Paraguay's striker since he became famous, and has participated in the 2002 and 2006 World Cups with Paraguay.

But in the eight years of playing for Bayern Munich, Santa Cruz has always been a marginal man on the striker line. The season he played for Blackburn in 2007/2008 was a rare season in Santa Cruz's career. , but after joining Manchester City in the following season, Santa Cruz, who was plagued by injuries, had limited playing time and even more mediocre performance. In his career, injuries have always been his enemy and have greatly affected him. However, Santa Cruz's ability to grab points in front of the goal is still quite outstanding in a healthy state.

Paraguay, which has no big-name players, wants to go further in this World Cup, mainly relying on their overall cooperation and using overall football to make up for the lack of talent.

The New Zealand team is recognized as the weakest team in this World Cup. This is New Zealand's second appearance in the World Cup. Before that, New Zealand participated in the 1982 World Cup. Thanks to Australia's joining the AFC, New Zealand won the World Cup in Oceania They easily qualified in the qualifiers. In the home and away two-round play-offs with Bahrain, New Zealand won the World Cup with a total score of 1:0.

Football is far from the number one sport in New Zealand. Rugby and cricket are obviously more popular among New Zealanders. The overall strength of New Zealand football can only be regarded as mediocre. In the 2009 Intercontinental Cup of Nations, New Zealand failed to win the three group matches. Can score.

In this World Cup, New Zealand is completely uncompetitive. The players' skills are generally rough, and the team's style of play is quite simple and straightforward. However, the players' physical fitness is quite good, and they are generally tall. Therefore, set kicks have become an important scoring method for New Zealand.

The most familiar New Zealand player is the defender Nelson who played for Blackburn. In recent seasons in the Premier League, Nelson has been the core of Blackburn's defense. While defending fiercely, Nelson also has an excellent header. Ability, which plays a prominent role in set-piece tactics, and the rich experience of Nelson, who is about to turn 33 years old, will be a valuable asset for New Zealand to compete in the World Cup.

Slovakia is a fresh element in this World Cup. Czechoslovakia used to be a strong team in world football, but this time it is the first time that Slovakia has been able to appear in the World Cup since independence. In this World Cup qualifier, Slovakia is in the same group as the Czech Republic and Slovenia. Slovakia was not favored at first, but under the leadership of coach Weiss, Slovakia finally advanced with its head high.

Although Slovakia's overall strength is not strong, there are many stars in the team that fans are familiar with. Among them, Hamsik is the undisputed number one star in Slovakia. He has grown rapidly during his four seasons in Fiorentina. Currently, Hamsik Hamsik has become one of the most attention-grabbing top midfielders in Serie A. Every summer, there are constant rumors about the giant club wanting to introduce Hamsik. Hamsik is only 23 years old and still has great potential in the future. Considerable upside.

As a very modern midfielder, Hamsik does not control the ball much in the game, but has excellent running awareness and dribbling skills, and the passing awareness is also outstanding. After four seasons in Florence Through training, Hamsik's ability to read the game has been significantly enhanced.

Hamsik, who has an excellent ability to advance forward, has taken his performance to a higher level this season. His football style is quite similar to the retired Czech star Nedved, and Hamsik is also gradually moving towards Nedved. The heights that Germany has achieved are constantly approaching.

In this season's Champions League final, when Montolivo was not injured, the head coach of Fiorentina finally chose Hamsik as the main force. In the game, Hamsik also helped Digan take the lead with an assist. , Florence won the championship.

The qualifying situation of this group is the most complicated. Italy is well-known, but relying on the current old guys, how far can they go? Everyone will have a question mark in their hearts. Paraguay has no stars, but the overall strength is not bad. Slovakia Although it is the first time to participate in the World Series, the existence of Hamsik also makes it possible for Slovakia to qualify for the group. As for New Zealand, the weather in South Africa is too hot, so let's go home and take a bath in the sea.

Group G: This is another recognized group of death besides Group B where Belgium is located, including five-star Brazil, North Korea with extremely strong spiritual power, African elephant Côte d'Ivoire, and Portugal with Golden Mauro alone.

This is the second time for North Korea to appear in the World Cup. As early as in the 1966 World Cup, North Korea was a blockbuster. The team defeated the star-studded Italy in the group stage, resulting in Italy failing to qualify for the group. North Korea After qualifying in the group, Portugal was almost eliminated. Although the cheetah Eusebio was finally created, the performance of the North Korean team in that World Cup still left a very deep impression on people.

North Korea's success in obtaining tickets to the World Cup this time is inseparable from the team's solid defense. North Korean players with a strong sense of collective honor are extremely tenacious in fighting on the field, but due to the lack of matches with other teams, North Korea's offense, which lacks sufficient communication with the outside world, is quite weak, and its experience in the competition is extremely lacking. The strong political color makes North Korea full of mystery.

The most known to fans in the North Korean team is the striker Zheng Dashi in the team. Although he was born and raised in Japan, and his parents are Korean, Zheng Dashi eventually joined the North Korean nationality and was selected for the North Korean national team.

Zheng Dashi, who plays for the Kawasaki forward of the Japanese j1 league team, is the main scorer of the team and has maintained a very high scoring efficiency in recent seasons.

After Zheng Dashi was recruited by the North Korean national team, the problem of North Korea's weak offensive has been alleviated to a certain extent. Zheng Dashi, who has both speed and technology, has greatly enriched North Korea's offensive methods.

Hong Yingzao is the core midfielder of North Korea. In this World Cup qualifier, Hong Yingzao, who performed well in this World Cup qualifier, is an important contributor to North Korea's success in qualifying. Hong Yingzao is currently playing for the Russian Super League team Rostov. Hong Ying, who has excellent belt skills, has mastered North Korea's offensive rhythm. In addition, he has an excellent ability to take free kicks, and he is good at scoring free kicks.

In the defense-oriented North Korean formation, Hong Young-zao and Jung Da-se are one of the few key players who can make a difference on the offensive end. How North Korea can perform in this World Cup will largely depend on Hong Young Early play with Zheng Dashi.

It is also worth noting that after arriving in South Africa, North Korea uttered bold words to win the championship early on, which really shocked the eyes of the whole world. With the strong spiritual power of the big fat, the second fat, and the third fat who is ready to take over at any time Now, North Korean players don't know what fear is at all. Their mental lines are as thick as their waists. Perhaps under the inspiration of strong mental strength, during the game, maybe the North Korean team, which almost performed miracles in England, can really Soul possession.

Côte d'Ivoire is also making its second appearance in the World Cup. The 2006 World Cup was Côte d'Ivoire's only appearance in the World Cup finals before. Because it was in the same group as the Netherlands and Argentina, Côte d'Ivoire failed to qualify for the group stage, but Côte d'Ivoire only lost to Argentina and the Netherlands. Playing against strong teams, Côte d'Ivoire still showed enough competitiveness.

This time Côte d'Ivoire's group opponents also include strong teams such as Brazil and Portugal, but the strong Ivory Coast still has enough strength to strive for a breakthrough this time.

The head coach of the team is Eriksson, an old man from Sweden. During his previous coaching in England, although there were many stars in England, he still failed to make a difference in the competition. Eriksson was full of conservative and monotonous style of play. subject to controversy.

Since then, without knowing much about North American football, Eriksson took over Mexico. In the early stage of the World Cup qualifiers in North America, Eriksson led Mexico to perform poorly and dismissed Eriksson in time. After that, Mexico got back on track and eventually qualified.

This time he hastily took over Côte d'Ivoire, Eriksson's understanding of Ivorian players is quite limited, and it is still unknown whether he can formulate a style of play suitable for Côte d'Ivoire players.

Except for the goalkeeper position, the players in other positions in Côte d'Ivoire all play in the European League, and many players are the main players of the rich clubs. Not surprisingly, the players who played in the 2006 World Cup will still form the main players of Côte d'Ivoire in this World Cup frame.

Drogba is still the leader of the Côte d'Ivoire team in this World Cup. As the greatest star in the history of Côte d'Ivoire football, "Warcraft" Drogba is still in good condition. This season, he helped Chelsea win the Premier League and the FA Cup Drogba won the title of top scorer in the Premier League in one fell swoop. With excellent physical condition, strong impact in front of goal, and more comprehensive scoring methods, the current Drogba is still unstoppable.

Drogba's frontcourt assistant Kalou in Chelsea will still support Debarro in the Côte d'Ivoire team. Before the start of the 2006 World Cup, Kalou, who became famous in the Eredivisie, almost joined the Dutch nationality and played on behalf of the Netherlands, but failed to make the trip. , It also made Kalou unable to participate in the 2006 World Cup. Kalou, who has joined the nationality of Côte d'Ivoire, will flex his muscles in the World Cup.

Kolo Toure, who played for Manchester City, and Yaya Toure, who is currently playing for Barcelona, ​​are also the indispensable main players in the current Ivorian team. Whether it is the previous seasons of playing for Arsenal or this season after switching to Manchester City , Kolo Toure is the main force in the team's central defender position. After training in the Premier League for many seasons, he has grown into the core of Ivory Coast's defense line. He has excellent physical condition, speed and flexibility. good.

The younger brother Yaya Toure also has excellent physical fitness, but he is taller, but he still has delicate foot skills. Yaya Toure, who plays the midfielder position, is tall and long-legged, and serves as a midfield barrier to protect the team's back He has excellent dribbling and breakthrough abilities, and has repeatedly staged wonderful scoring scenes after passing several players. Although Yaya Toure is only a substitute in the Barcelona team this season, he is still an excellent player. An important member of the team.

After being kicked out of Euro 2008 by Degan, Portugal has returned to the world stage. In this World Cup European qualifier, Portugal did not start well. Suppressed, with the timely counterattack in the last few rounds, Portugal finally won the second place in the group and had to participate in the play-offs. In the home and away rounds of the play-offs against Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bosnia and Herzegovina made many threatening shots. Good luck Accompanying Portugal successfully advanced without any risk.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, when the head coach Queiroz served as the head coach of the Portuguese youth team, he cultivated the golden generation of Portugal represented by Figo and Rui Costa.

Since then, he has served as Ferguson's assistant coach at Manchester United twice and has also achieved great success. Many of Manchester United's training, technical and tactical arrangements came from the hands of Queiroz. During the 2003/2004 season, he coached the star-studded Real Madrid. The team collapsed late in the league and dismissed early.

This is the second time that Queiroz has become the head coach of the Portuguese national team. In the World Cup qualifiers, although Portugal's offensive firepower is fierce, the situation of gaining momentum and not scoring has not changed.

Golden Mauro is undoubtedly the most attention-grabbing star in the Portuguese team. After joining Real Madrid with a record player transfer and the highest value last summer, Golden Mauro still continued his excellent state during his time at Manchester United. With his excellent personal ability and comprehensive scoring methods, it is already difficult to define whether Jin Maoluo is a winger or a striker. It may be more beneficial for Jin Maoluo to play freely in the midfield, but it is undeniable that in the national team His performance in China is much inferior to his performance in the club.

As for the winger position, the Portuguese team has many breakthrough players. The existence of Simao and Nani makes Portugal still able to make a big fuss on the wing.

Especially the teenager Nani, the new Portuguese idol who is currently playing for Manchester United, was introduced by Lafayette as the successor of Jin Maoluo. The season has also been soy sauce for more than half a year, and Nani's future is worth looking forward to.

In Group G, Brazil is undoubtedly the absolute king. At the same time, the five-star Brazil is also the only team that has not missed any World Cup finals. Brazil, which has won five championships, is the team that has won the most championships in the World Cup. Team, Brazil's goal this time must and can only be the championship.

In the South American qualifiers for the World Cup, Brazil successfully qualified as the top player in the qualifiers. It is also the team with the most goals and the fewest goals conceded. The gorgeous offensive football style is replaced by a sharp counterattack based on a solid defensive foundation. Although Brazil's slightly conservative tactic has been controversial, the effect is quite satisfactory.

In the 2006 World Cup, Brazil was full of star-studded midfielders, but the team failed to break through Belgium. To successfully win the World Cup, a solid defense is indispensable. He helped Brazil in the 1994 World Cup as a captain. Dunga, who successfully won the championship on the field, pays attention to the balance of offense and defense. He does not rely on fame when he chooses the national team. Many players who have been away from the national team and played for non-rich clubs have been recruited by Dunga, while Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, etc. The hope of participating in the World Cup in South Africa has been completely shattered for the former superstar who is in decline.

Set kicks and sharp counterattacks have become the main scoring means of the current Deng's Brazil team. When they get a corner kick or a free kick, Brazil, which has many good set kick shooters in the team, has a wealth of set kick scoring means. When given the opportunity to counterattack, the offensive player with both speed and technology in the midfield will launch a sharp counterattack, which is fatal.

The current Brazilian team seems to be quite civilian. Many players in the main lineup are not playing for European giants clubs, but this Brazilian team is much more disciplined than before.

The appearance of Cesar has made the position of Brazil's main goalkeeper no suspense. The existence of Thiago Silva also makes Brazil's frontal defense a little more secure. Because Maicon and Alves, the two top right-wingers With the existence of Brazil's right wing attack is quite fierce.

The midfield is still the most anticipated part of the Brazilian team. The offensive combination composed of Kaka, Fabiano and Robinho has taken on the important task of Brazil's siege.

Kaka is undoubtedly the most anticipated star in the current Brazilian team. After limited playing time in the 2002 World Cup and a mediocre performance in the 2006 World Cup, Kaka ushered in a chance to prove himself again.

During the six years of playing for AC Milan, Kaka has gradually grown into a top football star today. In 2007, Kaka became the double winner of the European Ballon d'Or and World Footballer of the Year.

After joining Real Madrid this season, due to injuries and not fully adapting to the new environment, Kaka's performance did not meet the expectations of the fans, but in the Brazilian team, Kaka is the number one star doing his part. Kaka is good at it, and Brazil's current defensive counterattack tactics are quite suitable for Kaka's performance. Kaka's speed advantage with excellent dribbling skills is also quite obvious. Scoring goals in person is an important scoring method for Brazil on the offensive end.

Brazil's striker has always been star-studded, but Fabiano seems to be a little less star-studded, but he is Dunga's first choice on the striker, and Fabiano has not disgraceful mission. In the national team, Fabiano Maintaining a very high scoring rate, the current main position in the Brazilian team has been extremely stable.

Fabiano, who has played for Sevilla for five seasons, is a late-blooming player. It was not until recent seasons that he was able to gain a firm foothold in the national team by virtue of his outstanding performance in La Liga. It was quite rough Fabiano's career has made Fabiano, who is about to turn 30, truly mature.

Fabiano's ability to seize opportunities in front of goal is quite outstanding, and this is exactly the type of striker that Brazil desperately needs.

Robinho became famous at a young age. After Santos became famous in one fell swoop, Robinho was able to join Real Madrid. After playing for Real Madrid for several seasons, Robinho unexpectedly joined the newly rising Manchester City, but Robinho's performance in the Premier League has been hit and miss, lacking continuity. Halfway through the season, Robinho returned to Santos in order to get more playing time.

Robinho, who has an excellent sense of the ball, has excellent dribbling skills, but it is a bit fancy, lacks practicality, and lacks stability in his state, but his talent is unquestionable, outstanding personal ability and highly spiritual improvisation , making Robinho occupy a place in Brazil's main lineup.

In this group, Brazil will undoubtedly be the final favorite. Portugal is in the leading position in the competition for the second qualifying place, but the existence of North Korea and Côte d'Ivoire cannot be ignored. It is also true that this group is a death group. Well deserved.

Group h: This group includes European Cup runner-up Spain, professional showrunner Switzerland, civilian team Honduras and re-emerging Chile.

After missing the 2006 World Cup, Spain finally came back. After Calagones left the team, the newly appointed Bosque completely inherited the mantle of Calagones. The pursuit of the perfect unity of technology and record is now the gorgeous Spanish team The ultimate goal is not only to win the game, but also to play beautiful football, but the gap between ideal and reality is quite large. Spain, which has entered the World Cup finals 11 times before, has never entered the World Cup final. The record on the field is tragic. Although there are many stars, they can easily qualify in the World Cup qualifiers, and they are frequently regarded as favorites to win the championship, Spain has never achieved an ideal record in the World Cup. Getting out became the norm.

In the 2006 World Cup qualifiers, Belgium, which appeared in advance, was ruthlessly blocked from the final circle. The matador could only watch other people compete on the World Cup stage that summer, and they had nothing to do.

In the 2008 European Cup, Spain successfully reached the final with a convincing performance, and was taken away by the old enemy Belgium.

However, the experience in the European Cup has greatly changed Spain's fragile psychology before. The team played more calmly and confidently. At present, Spain is the most popular team in world football. In the match, Spain and Belgium were in a group, but they lost both games and ranked second in the group. They could only qualify for the World Cup after defeating Greece in the play-offs.

However, in the next series of warm-up matches, Spain, which advocates offense and ball control, frequently won easily. Now Spain is playing the most pleasing and beautiful football, and at the same time it is constantly winning.

As Barcelona, ​​Sevilla, Valencia and many other clubs have paid attention to the cultivation of young players for many years, and with the emergence of a large number of excellent players of the right age, Spain is now really at the harvest season. The current tactics and styles of play in Spain It has a deep imprint of Barcelona and Valencia, and Barcelona and Valencia players constitute the main framework of the current Spanish team. Dexterity, delicacy, and focus on ball control are the obvious characteristics of the current Spanish team.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the current team is the most outstanding Spanish national team in history. This time Spain also ushered in the best chance to win the World Cup.

The current Spanish team is full of stars on all lines. The main positions of Torres and Villa on the front line are unshakable. Spain is lucky to have Torres and Villa, two of the hottest top forwards in today's football, but others Team misfortune.

In the midfield, Spain is even more powerful. The existence of passing masters such as Xavi, Iniesta, and Silva allows Spain to control the ball as they like. Even Fabregas is difficult to squeeze into the starting lineup. It can be seen The superior strength of the Spanish midfielder.

As long as they don't meet their old enemy Belgium early, Spain should be able to go further in this World Cup.

The Swiss team played a disruptive role in several major competitions they participated in. In the 2006 World Cup, Switzerland and France were in the same group. In the end, Switzerland beat France. Against Ukraine, Switzerland failed to break into the quarterfinals.

In this World Cup qualifier, Switzerland did not have a strong team in the group, but Switzerland did not start well. Then Switzerland made timely adjustments, and finally beat Greece in the same group. Switzerland won the qualifier group Successfully qualified as the first name.

The head coach of Switzerland, Hitzfeld, can be described as famous. During the period of coaching Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich, Hitzfeld has won the Champions League, and in the Bundesliga, Hitzfeld has led Dortmund and Bayern Munich 7 times. Won the Bundesliga championship and has extremely rich coaching experience.

In the midfield of Switzerland, there are many strong stars gathered. Due to its proximity to Germany, many players in the Swiss team have the experience of playing in the Bundesliga. They are also active in other leagues such as Serie A, Premier League, and Eredivisie. Watching the Swiss players, there are many stars familiar to the fans.

In the 2006 World Cup, Senderos, who served as the main central defender, performed well. In the European qualifiers for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Senderos was still the main central defender in the Swiss team.

The physically strong Senderos has obvious advantages in the air, but his shortcomings are also quite prominent. His turning speed is slow, his feet are rough, he is a little reckless and makes frequent mistakes. He can often be seen being played by the opponent's offensive players. It was difficult for Senderos to play the main force at Arsenal, and then he was loaned to AC Milan to play for Everton. The experience was also unsuccessful. Due to injuries and the impact of his own poor state, Senderos played very little this season. But it can't affect his position in the national team.

This is the second time that Honduras has entered the World Cup finals. The last time Honduras participated in the World Cup in Spain dates back to the 1982 World Cup in Spain. In the second half of the poor performance, in the final round of qualifiers, Costa Rica failed to win, so that Costa Rica could only give up the World Cup ticket to Honduras, and finally lost to Uruguay in the play-offs. Costa Rica missed the World Cup in South Africa.

In the current Honduras team, many players have become famous in the European League. These stars who played in the European League form the main framework of Honduras.

At present, the most familiar player in the Honduras team is undoubtedly Palacios. After only playing for Wigan Athletic for one year, Palacios quickly conquered the Premier League and attracted the attention of many wealthy clubs such as Manchester United. Eventually Palacios joined Tottenham Hotspur.

Palacios' physical condition is quite good, he runs very actively on the field, has a fierce style of play, and has excellent stealing ability. At the same time, Palacios also has a good ability to advance and participate in the offense. , Palacios can provide considerable help to his team.

Chile can be regarded as a strong team in the world football. After experiencing the analgesia after the retirement of Shuangsa, Chile finally returned to the stage of the World Cup. Not surprising, but it is quite surprising that Chile is ranked second. After all 18 qualifying rounds, Chile scored only one goal less than Brazil, which scored the most goals. It is not difficult to explain why Chile Can successfully qualify.

After the lunatic coach Bielsa became the head coach of Chile, coupled with the emergence of a group of outstanding players of the right age, Chile became a new look. After appearing in the 1998 World Cup, Chile missed the 2002 and 2006 World Cups consecutively. Under the leadership of Bielsa, Chile successfully qualified this time with a convincing performance.

It is worth mentioning that due to the generally short stature of Chilean players, especially in the back line, Chile has a lot of hidden dangers in defense against high-altitude balls. With the presence of players who have gained a foothold in the middle, Chile's offensive performance is still quite worth looking forward to.

Among them, Sanchez, who is short in stature, is the most favored. This short-legged tiger is very flexible and good at using his skillful feet and outstanding speed to break through the opponent's defense. He has excellent dribbling and explosive power. In the team, the importance of Sanchez has become increasingly prominent. In the South American qualifiers for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Sanchez won a lot of opportunities to play and scored three goals. In the Chilean team, Sanchez was mainly active in the winger position. At only 21 years old, Sanchez, who has already attracted the attention of many wealthy clubs, still has a lot of room for improvement in the future.

The curtain of the World Cup has been drawn, and the giants from all walks of life have completed their final assembly, and the game is about to start. People are waiting to see who will become the new generation of overlord in world football.
