Chapter 102 Unexpected, Reasonable

Chapter 102 Unexpected, Reasonable

After the first round of the group stage, the qualifying situation of each group is still in a fog, and the second round of the group stage will start immediately. In the second round of Group A, Uruguay, who took the lead, won 3: 0 victory over the host South Africa, the situation is very good with four points.

In the first half, Forlan's long-range shot was refracted and turned into a strange deciduous ball into the net. In the second half, South African goalkeeper Cuné uprooted Suarez and was sent off with a red card. Forlan made a penalty kick. Then, Alvaro. Pereira scored another victory in stoppage time.

The fate of South Africa was doomed as early as the end of the first game, because they unexpectedly drew with the powerful Mexico, and they were favored by the king of the ball, Pele.

"African teams will advance to the final."

After the king of the ball "disaster comes from the mouth", the African brothers began to fall one after another, especially South Africa. After the opening of the second round, they encountered a tragic situation.

In front of Uruguay, South Africa was beaten back to its original shape, with three goals conceded and a red card. The host of the World Cup has always given people a surprising image, but this time it was completely disappointing in South Africa.

After the draw with Mexico, the coach of the South African team, Pereira, was full of confidence. When interviewed by reporters, he almost booked the right to qualify for the group in advance, but in front of Uruguay, Pereira seemed to be poured cold water, 3 The score of :0 ruthlessly extinguished all his enthusiasm.

The South African players also seemed to take the victory too easily because of the draw with Mexico in the first game. Before the game, many South African players boasted that "if you win Uruguay, you will qualify."

But the reality is cruel. In front of Uruguay, South Africa could not organize an effective offense at all. South Africa only had three shots on goal in the whole game. In the first half of the game, South Africa didn't even shoot on goal once. ?? Stadium Maniac 102

The game lasted 65 minutes before South Africa made its first offensive threat to Uruguay's goal. When Forlan scored a penalty kick, many South African fans had already left the field, and the fans also lost interest in supporting their team's performance.

After two group matches, South Africa only scored one goal, and the goal difference was minus three. Now the South African team can only look at other people's faces if they want to appear. In other words, he only has a theoretical possibility based on other people's faces. First, he wants to beg Mexico and France to draw, and then beat France in the final round. Under this premise, South Africa still needs to pray Nothing could go wrong in that match between Mexico and Uruguay.

All in all, the current South African team can actually say goodbye to this game. What they leave behind may be only one goal, a goal difference of more than three losses, and of course small cards of various colors.

If France loses to Mexico next, then even if South Africa beats France in the final round, it is likely to be a situation like Spain in the 18 World Cup. The players scored goals while wiping tears, and when the game ended, they hugged and cried .

The so-called theoretical appearance may soon be ruthlessly broken by the French. As the former world champions, they were beaten in the match against Mexico. 2.

The French team's loss stemmed from their internal strife. What made coach Domenech even more embarrassing was that his team still failed to get out of the scoring drought. Two zero goals in two games was really an embarrassment for the former World Cup champion.

Before the start of the game, Domenech publicly expelled the team's striker Anelka, because Anelka made rude remarks to his old man in the locker room.

Domenech may have originally planned to scare the chickens to scare the monkeys and cheer up many big names in the team, but in the end he overestimated his weight in the hearts of the players. This time, many players chose to stand by Anelka Over there, confront him.

The general's discord, coupled with the loss in this game, made the prospects of the French team's qualifying become bleak.

But an embarrassing record for the French is continuing, that is, the consecutive winless World Series. In the 2008 European Championship, they lost 2 and drew 1 in the group. They went home embarrassingly. In the World Cup, they were unbeaten in the first two rounds of their group with 1 draw and 1 loss, and they failed to score a single goal.

If the French team is eliminated from the World Cup, fans of one country will celebrate wildly, and that is Ireland. They believe that France should not have appeared in the World Cup in South Africa. In the play-offs of the European qualifiers, France relied on Henry's handball to beat Ireland to advance. The latter had lodged a serious protest and demanded a rematch. In their view, France's World Cup qualification was stolen. Domenech's ball The team is not worthy of this seat, and if the group is out, that's what it deserves.

In fact, starting from the 2002 World Cup, the French team did not match the reputation of a strong team. The 2006 World Cup was crushed by Belgium led by Degan, and the 2008 European Championship was crushed. This shows that Domenech's team is completely incomparable with the dynastic team from around 18 to 2000. Henry, Gallas and many other veterans have already entered the end of their careers, and the new generation of players is still there. Does not have the ability to take the lead.

In this World Cup in South Africa, the French team is the worst World Cup champion team so far. Argentina and Germany are proud of it. Although Brazil has a difficult process, it has scored three points after all. In the same group, Uruguay scored 4 points with 1 win and 1 tie. Among the seven World Cup champion teams, France became the worst one.

What is puzzling is that Domenech, who was supposed to get out after the fiasco in the European Championship, was not dismissed, and he was allowed to lead the team until today. Under the leadership of this poor coach, France It can only be said that the team's performance today is a historical inevitability. If the Gallic Rooster wants to revive their reputation, they may only pin their hopes on the new coach Blanc who took office after the World Cup.

Of course, Domenech can still find excuses for his failure. This person is Abidal. The French defender suddenly lost his mind when the team fell behind and was fighting back aggressively. A valuable penalty was awarded to the opponent, and it was this penalty that ended the game. ?? Stadium Maniac 102

A similar scene also appeared in the European Championship two years ago. In the key match against Italy in the last round of the group, Abidal made a stupid foul in the penalty area. He not only sent a penalty kick, but was also sent off with a red card. Lost 0:2 against France and was eliminated from the group. This time he lost the second round of the World Cup, and Abidal made the same mistake.

But it's not just the players who really need to reflect. Domenech is also to blame. Abidal is originally a left-back, so it is inevitable that he will be a cameo as a central defender.

For the first goal the French team conceded in this field, Mexico succeeded in countering offside. It was Abidal who was behind the French defense. As a central defender, he naturally had different requirements from the fullbacks in terms of position sense and caution in the penalty area. Abidal obviously can't fully adapt to his current position.

The European Championship two years ago has already tested that Abidal is not suitable for playing as a central defender. Why is it used like this in the World Cup today?

It can only be said that Domenech was extremely stubborn. The French team fell on the same person twice. Naturally, the head coach must be responsible for his decision-making. They all said that "a fall into a trap will make you wiser", but it is obvious that Domenech K probably never heard of it.

In fact, France is not without other candidates. Although Squillacci from Seville and Planus from Bordeaux are not as famous as Abidal, they are the central defenders who have been selected anyway, and they have performed well in the club this season. .

In addition, there is also the famous Mex, who was not even selected for the World Cup list. Domenech chose to use a player who has never played a central defender in the club to play such an important position. It is inevitable that he will suffer. Abidal sent The penalty kick can only be said to be retribution for his stubbornness.

If it is said that Domenech used the wrong person for Abidal to play the central defender, then the use of Govou is to believe in the wrong person.

Did France send eleven people?

Who's on the right?

After France's 0:2 loss to Mexico, someone will definitely ask such a question. Govou, who started the game on the right wing, rarely even comes into people's attention. It is normal to forget him.

Malouda is very active on the left wing and can be called the best performer in France. Ribery in the center is limited, but at least his efforts can be seen, but Govou has little to prove his presence on the field. Evidence, The Invisible Man is the nickname he deserves after this field.

It can be said that Gewu does not work hard, and he is also very active in running on the court, but the problem is that he hardly does anything except running. The whole game has 0 shots, 0 assists, and 0 breakthroughs. No wonder the right-wing attack of the French team was completely paralyzed.

God knows what Ge Wu did in this game, maybe his real position should be a "spectator" watching the game.

For two consecutive group matches, Govou was the starting right winger, but his performance was the same as in this game, and Domenech insisted on using him without knowing why.

Govou's best performance in the French team was the 3-1 victory over Italy in the 2008 European Championship qualifiers. He scored two goals personally. I don't know if that game impressed Domenech so much that he So far, Ge Wu is highly valued.

However, in these two rounds, Govou failed to play the whole game. Uruguay was replaced in the 85th minute of the first game, and today it was 6 minutes. The "function" has been gradually realized, but unfortunately it seems a bit late now.

In this game, Zidane, the former number 10 of the French team, came to watch the game. He must be disappointed with the successor of his number.

Among the number 10 of the seven World Cup champion teams, Govou is probably the most fake one. Needless to say, Argentina's Messi, Brazil's Kaka and England's Wayne Rooney are all famous superstars. Germany's Podols Kei and Uruguay's Forlan are all practical players. Italy's Di Natale may be relatively less famous, but he is also the top scorer in Serie A after all. Only Govou can't shoot anything, and France's No. 10 is reduced. At this point, it is a few grades lower than Zidane's era.

After two rounds in Group A, South Africa has basically been eliminated ahead of schedule. Although France is still lingering due to its reputation, there are too many prerequisites for it to appear, so many that it is almost impossible.

The former World Cup and the European Cup double crown may really have reached the point where it is time to wash up and go to sleep.

In the second round of Group B that started the next day, Argentina and Nigeria took the lead. This pair of old enemies had played against each other in the 2002 World Cup. At that time, with the goal of the God of War Batistuta, Argentina 1: 0 small victory over the opponent.

The result this time was surprisingly similar, still a 1:0 result, the same header scored, but this time the goal was turned into defender Heinze.

In the first round of the group stage, Higuain, who scored a hat-trick, completely disappeared in this game. Although Messi worked hard, there were not many bright spots.

However, a victory can already ensure that Argentina will qualify for the group, but behind such a victory, what exactly does Argentina get?

The most ironic thing happened after the game, when people were guessing who would be the best player of the game, Messi or Heinze, but FIFA gave this honor to the goalkeeper of the Nigerian team Enyeyama.

A goalkeeper who almost single-handedly avoided a big defeat.

Facing Messi, Higuain, Tevez, Milito, the Argentine team with the world's best forward group, Enyeyama almost saved the entire team by himself. Nigeria only lost One goal, he contributed the most.

Enyeyama is not yet 28 years old, which is the beginning of the golden period of a goalkeeper, but he was already the starting goalkeeper of the Nigerian team in the 2002 World Cup and has played 55 games on behalf of the team so far.

Although after the two rounds, Nigeria has not yet scored a point, and its results are not even as good as the South African team, but Enyeyama's performance can't help but shine.

In the last game against Belgium led by Degan, Enyeyama scored three goals in one game, but it is not difficult to see from this game against Argentina that the disastrous defeat in the first game did not affect the mentality of the goalkeeper , His performance in today's game is also worthy of the title of best player.

Although it was not defeated by the Argentine team, the immersion in the two games also made Nigeria the first team to be out of the World Cup in South Africa. Perhaps the only gain for the African Eagles in this World Cup is the game of Enyeyama best player.

In the next game, it will be the turn of Belgium led by Digan. Their opponent in the second game will be the Asian Red Devils South Korea.

Facing this match, the one with the most complicated mood at the moment is probably Digan's girlfriend, Pu Zhiyan.

Who should be supported?

This became a difficult problem for Pu Zhiyan.
