Chapter 113 Honor and First Name
After the three rounds of Group A, the former world champion France bid farewell to the World Cup in embarrassment amid scandals, but the only victory for South Africa was to be able to live with this victory.
Uruguay and Mexico appeared hand in hand, and the early exit of the former world champion France and the host South Africa was indeed a little unexpected, but the result has already appeared, even if it is a vent of surprise, sigh, and messy emotions, it will not change the result.
But fortunately there was no bigger scandal, at least France did not choose to take the initiative to strike, but they chose to resist passively, and finally lost 1:2. The former favorite of heaven, the Gallic rooster, walked away in despair under the eyes of people. When they return home, what they will face will be a painful and long reconstruction period.
Of course, rebuilding has nothing to do with Domenech. From the warm-up training before the game, Domenech was like an outsider. When the French team members gathered together to encourage each other, the old coach Domenech Neke walked in the field with his hands behind his back like a normal person.
At this time, the live DJ began to broadcast the French team's appearance list. Whenever the name of a player was read, the French fans in the stands would give them thunderous cheers, but when the DJ read Domenech's name, the audience was full There was a lot of booing.
After the preparatory activities, the French team members began to pass and catch the ball. At this time, Domenech came among them and exchanged a few words with the assistant coaches around him. It can be seen that, at least in the eyes of the outside world, he Haven't completely lost control of the team yet.
After the start of the game, when Domenech saw that South Africa had an overall upper hand, he chose to return to the coaching bench. Then, the goalkeeper made a mistake and Gourcuff's stupid red card made Domenech bow his head sadly. The unlucky coach who has been pointed at his nose and scolded has become the biggest laughing stock in the history of French football.
It is meaningless to say anything now. French football is destined to be overthrown and restarted. The former World Cup champions and European Cup champions have no face to be mentioned here. The rest is just struggling during the painful period and looking forward to the future. bright.
This ~~~~~~~~ Maybe you can have it!
Immediately after that, the match in Group B will begin. Two matches will be played at the same time, one for the first place in the group and the other for honor.
In this World Cup, apart from Belgium, the most closely related to Degan is South Korea, the motherland of his girlfriend Park Ji-yeon, except for his brother Kaka's Brazil. By the end of the 1998 World Cup in France, the South Korean team had not won a game in the World Cup, let alone advance to the group.
Until the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, the South Korean team won two wins and one tie in the group stage with the advantage of the host, and successfully advanced to the top 16, but that time the Koreans' promotion was not convincing.
In the next World Cup in Germany in 2006, South Korea defeated Togo in the group stage but was still eliminated. At that time, many media revisited the old story and used the farce in 2002 to satirize Korean football. ".
This time, South Korea sent troops to South Africa, and signs of South Korea's unacceptable football conditions continued. In the first game, they lost Argentina 1:4. In the second leg, they were beaten to death and humiliated by Belgium led by South Korean son-in-law Digan under the watchful eyes of everyone. A nude version of "Little Apple".
"You are my little apple, I can never love you too much!"
However, in the last match against South Africa, the Koreans still had some gains. At least Xu Dingmao's most important striker finally scored a goal. Old Xu's monolithic expression finally relaxed. The biggest problem of the South Korean team that has troubled him for many days finally came against Nigeria today. released in the game.
As Monaco's top scorer last season, Park Joo-young's task is of course to rely on his own goals to help the South Korean team win a victory, but after the first two games, Park Joo-young only scored an own goal, which made Park Joo-young How can Yong bear it?
Moreover, the free kicks in the league are quite felt, either a little bit off, or hit people's heads. All the unsatisfactory and unlucky things disappeared after today's World War I. Park Joo-yong scored the first World Cup in the true sense. With a direct free kick, he also became the 19th player in South Korea's World Cup history to score.
Park Zhou-young's free kick reminds people of Shunsuke Nakamura, but once Nakamura-kun came to the World Cup, he couldn't get back his free kick.
Park Joo-young was able to score goals, first of all thanks to the captain, Park Ji-sung, the self-esteem of Korean football, of course, this self-esteem was almost shattered by Digan in the last game, but Park Ji-sung's performance in this game is still very good, he did a very good job Valuable tactical cover, he chose the right side of the Nigerian wall to squeeze in, allowing the Nigerian players to rush to him, in fact, it just gave Park Zhou Yong a valuable free kick channel.
Park Joo-young also knew that the opportunity was rare, rubbing the outer instep of his right foot to the far corner, and a very wonderful round moon scimitar drawn from the left, directly drilled into the Nigeria goal.
After the game, people didn't quite understand why FIFA gave Park Ji-sung the best player on the spot. Did the relevant personnel know this Korean player?
Not to mention that compared with Park Joo-young, Ki Sung-yong also feels better than Park Ji-sung. There is no doubt that Park Joo-young is the most active in the team in terms of offensive enthusiasm. This is the case in all three games, and today he is in great form. There were five shots in the audience, all of them slamming, three of which posed a major threat and scored a goal.
During the game, Park Joo-yong even broke into the penalty area many times, singled out the opponent's double central defenders, it's easy to say, but actually thinking about it, Park Joo-young really sweats.
Yabo, the veteran defender of Everton, was in the team when the Chinese Shuangli joined the team. Now he has been the absolute main force in the Toffees for many years. Park Zhouyong, who is 182cm tall, is not ranked in East Asia. He is not a powerful center forward either, and compared to Nigeria's double central defenders, his body is even smaller.
But the desperate stubbornness of the Koreans is very enjoyable in today's Park Zhou-young. He has a solid confrontation with the opponent's defender again and again, not simply knocking them down, but constantly in the confrontation. Look for opportunities to distribute the ball to teammates, and try to tear apart the opponent's defense.
I have to feel that, if shamelessness is put aside, the bloodiness of Korean football and the wisdom hidden under bravery are indeed worthy of admiration.
It's a pity that the scores of Park Joo-young and Lee Jung-soo failed to help the South Korean team win a victory for honor in the end, and they tied with Nigeria. This honor and self-esteem may only be half of a family.
At the same time, the other game is the contest between Belgium and Argentina. Both sides have won the two games before. This game will directly affect who will become the first in the group.
Judging from before the game, Belgium obviously has a better chance. As long as they draw, they will be the first in the group. Although this first is meaningless, there is basically no difference between Uruguay and Mexico.
But for the core players of the two sides, Messi and Digan, that is different. The two have played against each other many times before. Whether it is the Champions League or the Olympics, Messi has never won even once. This time it is the World Cup. In the first contest, both of them were full of energy. Messi wanted to overthrow the mountain called Digan that was pressing on his head, and Digan was going to continue to defend his advantage over Messi. win this game.
Although Maradona once said that Digan is the number one in the world, when it comes to the World Cup, as the head coach of Argentina, he has no reason not to help his own people. Although this game has nothing to do with the right to qualify, he Still lined up all the elite soldiers and generals, just to help Messi reach the top smoothly.
The goalkeeper is Romero, the defense is Gutierrez, Samuel, Demichelis, Heinze, the midfielder Mascherano, Veron, Di Maria, the forward Tevez, Ivan Guaine, Messi.
The Belgian side seemed to be more relaxed. The goalkeeper chose Mignolet, the defense line Van Buyten, Vertonghen, Kompany and Poconioli, the midfielder Fellaini, Simmons and De Blau Inside, the midfielder Dembele, and Digan's partner Miralas on the striker.
It can be said that Belgium basically regarded this game as a training exercise, but after the announcement of the starting lineup, it even attracted the football king Maradona into a rage.
"The Belgians obviously don't have enough respect for the World Cup. Looking at their starting lineup, you can see that they regard the supreme World Cup as a training ground. This is simply unforgivable!"
Mr. Maradona's reaction was a bit extreme, and it was also a bit inexplicable. Who they want to send on the field is their own business. You old man is so excited!
Is it possible that you have to let all the main forces of others fight against you, so that you are happy?
Moreover, the game has not yet started, even with this lineup, Belgium is not doomed to lose, you are so happy now, once the game loses, will these nonsense now be taken as a slap in the face by those unscrupulous reporters important evidence?
All right!
In any case, coach Antiiennis did not change his starting lineup because of Mr. Maradona's anger. Just as South Korea and Nigeria started another game for honor, the battle for the top spot in the group between Belgium and Argentina The battle also started.
When the players of the two teams entered the field, played the national anthem, and shook hands when the two players shook hands, people found an interesting scene. When Degan walked up to Messi, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he stretched out his hand and took the initiative to talk to Messi. Xi's hands were held together, and it was clearly shown on the screen that when the two shook hands, Digan was indeed smiling.
This picture is also in the future. When the dust settles on something, it will be regarded as a decisive evidence, and it will be repeatedly hyped up by the media for a long time.
