The ninety-third chapter thirty-two strong tour (3)
Since FIFA stipulates that the 2010 World Cup will be hosted by African countries, the five countries that are competing for the right to host the 2010 World Cup are all African countries, namely: Egypt, Libya, Morocco, South Africa, and Tunisia.
On May 8, 2004, Tunisia announced that it was impossible to co-host the World Cup with Libya, and announced that it would give up the right to host the World Cup. Because Libya only hopes to co-host the World Cup with Tunisia, it will not host it alone. At the same time, Libya also stated that it will not let Israel participate. World Cup competition, therefore disqualified.
On May 15, 2004, at the FIFA Executive Committee meeting held in Zurich, Switzerland, South Africa overwhelmed Morocco with 14 votes to 10 votes, and won the right to host the 2010 World Cup, becoming the 16th World Cup host country.
In fact, in 2006, South Africa was very hopeful to win the right to host the World Cup for Africa for the first time. However, in the final round of voting, South Africa lost to Germany by one vote, making South Africans have to wait for another four years. .
At the opening ceremony of the World Cup, South African anti-racism leader Nelson Mandela appeared in the form of VCR, which moved the whole world. The picture of this old man holding the World Cup is destined to become an eternal classic.
The World Cup is coming to Africa, and the enthusiastic African continent is bursting with joy. In addition to anticipation for the upcoming World Cup, African fans are also looking forward to the excellent results of African teams in the competition.
Group D: This group is also full of strong players, including the former World Cup champion Germany, Australia who joined the AFC, Serbia who inherited the football mantle of Yugoslavia, and Ghana, which is recognized as the strongest team in Africa.
German chariots are frequent visitors to the World Cup finals, and Germany and its predecessor, the Federal Republic of Germany, have a remarkable record of seven finals and three championships. In the last World Cup, Germany, as the host, won the third place.
Subsequently, Klinsmann left the team, and Loew, who was his assistant coach during the 2006 World Cup, became the new head coach of Germany. In the 2008 European Cup, Germany broke into the semi-finals, but lost to Belgium, which played better. , missed the final.
In this World Cup qualifier, the biggest competitor in Germany's group is undoubtedly Russia. In the end, Germany doubled Russia at home and away. After 10 rounds of qualifiers, the undefeated Germany advanced with its head held high.
German players are world-renowned for their rigorous and tenacious will, and their psychological quality is excellent. Although the performance of the players on the field is a bit dull and the creativity is insufficient, Germany has frequently achieved good results in the competition.
With the emphasis on the cultivation of young players, Germany has continuously emerged potential rookies in recent years. Now Germany has been led by young players. Even Digan, who once ridiculed the old German football, after the semi-finals of the European Cup Zeng said that the future of German football is worth looking forward to. The current German chariot is in stark contrast to the German team at the end of the last century that could only rely on veterans and lack young players.
Due to Ballack's absence due to injury, the German team's substitute goalkeeper Bout and forward Klose became the only members of the team that won the runner-up in the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup. The position has also been shaken, but in the national team he is still the absolute main force on the front line.
Klose was born in the 2002 World Cup. In the 2002 and 2006 World Cups, Klose scored five goals each.
This season, Klose lost his position as the main striker in Bayern Munich, and his scoring efficiency has also declined considerably. However, even in Bayern Munich's poor state, Klose is still the main striker in Loew's mind. In the national team, Klose still has an outstanding performance. In the process of successfully qualifying in Germany, Klose has repeatedly contributed key goals.
As he grows older, Klose has consciously enriched his scoring methods. From a pure shooter with outstanding header ability but a single offensive method, he has gradually grown into an offensive player with excellent passing skills and delicate skills at his feet. In this World Cup, Klose will still be the first choice for the team's striker.
The veteran is trustworthy, and there is no shortage of talents among the young people. Ozil, who is of Turkish descent, is a leader among the younger generation in Germany.
Ozil's performance at Werder Bremen this season can be described as brilliant. Ozil, who has exquisite foot skills, is good at dribbling and has obvious advantages in speed. He also performed well on the wing. In Bremen, or in the national team, Ozil's powerful assist ability is impressive.
Although he is only 21 years old, Ozil has a maturity and calmness that does not match his age on the court, which makes Ozil's future in the national team quite promising.
In addition to Ozil, striker Muller is also worth looking forward to. The surname Muller seems to be synonymous with super forwards in Germany. Although Muller, who plays for Bayern Munich, can only be trained as a potential rookie in the club, he is in the national team. , He has gradually replaced Klose's absolute main position. The World Cup in South Africa will become a stage for Muller to show himself to the world.
Captain Ballack's absence from this World Cup due to injury is a big blow to the German team. Since the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan, Ballack has been the leader of German football. Score some great goals.
Considering the age issue, this World Cup will definitely be Ballack's last international competition on behalf of the national team, but unfortunately, the German hero lost this opportunity due to injuries.
The absence of Ballack, a leader with a stable military spirit, also cast a shadow over the German team's World Cup trip. How to solve the psychological problems of the players will also become a difficult problem that coach Loew urgently needs to solve.
The German team is strong, and qualifying should not be a problem. Australia, the Oceania team from the AFC, is also not to be underestimated. The Australian Kangaroos have only participated in the World Cup once before. In the 2006 World Cup, Australia successfully won The right to qualify for the group stage. In the round of 16 knockout rounds, Australia only lost to the final champion Italy because of a controversial penalty kick. In the four games they participated in, Australia contributed wonderful football.
Since Oceania had only half of the World Cup places before, Australia repeatedly lost the right to qualify in the World Cup play-offs. In the end, Australia chose to join the AFC. When it comes to World Cup tickets, the team's solid defense makes it difficult for other Asian teams to find a way to score.
There are many Australian players playing in major European leagues. The players are generally tall and strong, with obvious physical and aerial advantages. In addition, there are also many skilled players in the Australian team to revitalize the team's offense.
Cahill, the number one star in the team, quickly became an indispensable member of the Everton team after he joined Everton in the sky. A pure striker, but Cahill scored a considerable number of goals every season.
It is especially worth mentioning that although he is not tall, Cahill has an extremely terrifying header ability. Cahill, who has amazing jumping and waist strength, has a keen judgment on the landing point, which makes him able to hit the ball every time. It is Cahill's signature goal celebration action to compete successfully in the surrounding area surrounded by the tall defenders of the opponent, and to rush to the corner flag area to perform a set of combined punches after scoring a goal.
There is one more person in Australian football that must be mentioned, and that is Kewell. This player became famous at a young age. From the late 1990s to the beginning of this century, Kewell, who played for the powerful Leeds United at that time, experienced the peak of his career. In the early days, Kewell, who was able to pass, lead and score goals, had an outstanding performance in the Premier League at that time, which attracted the attention of many wealthy clubs.
After Leeds United declined due to a serious financial deficit, Kewell moved to Liverpool, but frequent injuries made Kewell's experience in Liverpool not successful. Although he played for Liverpool for five seasons, Kewell's appearances Quite limited.
In the summer of 2008, Kovill joined the Turkish powerhouse Galatasaray. After 30 years, Kovill still maintained an excellent state, but the injury did not stay away from Kovill. Because of the injury, Kovill failed to play in the national team Established more feats, and now Kewell has been difficult to reproduce the sharp wing breakthrough, but the experienced Kewell is still an important member of Australia's World Cup.
The performance of Australia in the last World Cup shocked the world football world. For the second time participating, the Australians still want to continue the glory of the last time.
Going one step further will be their primary goal.
The last World Cup also participated in the name of Serbia and Montenegro, and now it has become Serbia. Strictly speaking, this World Cup is the first time that Serbia has participated in the World Cup finals after independence.
Although Serbia and Montenegro have become independent in June 2006, they still participated in the 2006 World Cup under the name of Serbia and Montenegro. Serbia and Montenegro, whose military morale was unstable and unwilling to fight, were eventually eliminated early in the group stage, but this was not the case. A reflection of the true level of the team.
The former Yugoslavia is a fertile ground for football, and superstars familiar to fans have emerged in history. However, the political instability and the impact of war have seriously hindered the greater achievements of football in the former Yugoslavia.
As an emerging country after independence, with a desire for honor and a strong team, Serbia's performance in the European qualifiers for this World Cup is quite eye-catching. After beating Romania 5-0 at home, Serbia won the World Cup one round ahead of schedule Tickets forced France in the same group to participate in the play-offs.
Now Serbian players are active in major European leagues. The current team can easily be reminiscent of Croatia, which was a blockbuster in the 1998 World Cup. It is also a republic of the former Yugoslavia. The players are equally talented. Participated in the World Cup for the first time.
In the midfield, Serbia has a star-studded team and is also the most powerful part of Serbia. Ivanovic, Vidic, Subotic and other players are all very popular in European football. The Serbian midfielder guarded by them The defense is quite solid, and there are many well-known stars like Jovanovic, Krasic and the experienced Stankovic in the midfield.
Head coach Antić led the team out of the trough step by step and made Serbia unprecedentedly united. Antić, who had coached Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, brought Serbia back to life this time.
One of the highlights of Serbia's style of play is the two wings flying together. The left wing is Jovanovic, and the right wing is Krasic. The 25-year-old Krasic is currently in the golden age of his career. He joined Central Moscow in 2004. The outstanding performance of Army's Krasic in recent seasons has attracted the attention of more and more wealthy clubs. In this season's Champions League group stage, Krasic scored four goals.
In the national team, the right flank composed of Krasic and Ivanovic is the main starting point of the team's offense. Krasic, who has obvious advantages in speed and delicate technique, is quite sharp in breakthroughs and inside cuts on the flanks. The unique skill of a long-range shot, when the team can't start the situation, Krasic can often use his super personal ability to break the deadlock on the field.
Vidic in the defense is the leader of Serbia. Currently playing for Manchester United, Vidic is recognized as one of the best central defenders in Europe. Vidic, who has performed well in the club, is now on the stage of the World Cup , will continue to play the role of the team's Dinghaishenzhen.
Stankovic is another big star in Serbia. Although he is getting older, Stankovic's performance on the court has not declined at all. His frontal assault in the middle and long-range shots are his forte.
During his time at Inter Milan, Stankovic was always firmly in the main position in the face of many competitors. Whether it was Mancini or Mourinho, Stankovic was always the absolute leader of Inter Milan. main force.
This World Cup will also be the third time for Stankovic to participate in the World Cup, and it is also the last time to show his skills on the stage of the World Cup. In the last World Cup in Germany, Stankovic, who participated in the war on behalf of Serbia and Montenegro, won three group matches. Afterwards, it was a huge regret for him to go back home early. This time, the last international competition, will be the best opportunity for Stankovic to make up for his regrets.
Ghana, another team in this group, is recognized as the African team most likely to perform miracles in this World Cup, but this World Cup is only the second time Ghana has entered the World Cup finals. In the 2018 World Cup, Ghana became the only African team to qualify for the group stage. In this World Cup qualifier, Ghana became the first team to qualify in the African qualifier.
In the 2010 African Cup, despite the lack of the absolute midfielder Essien and Muntari, Ghana still broke into the final, showing a strong competitiveness, but in the end Ghana lost to Egypt and finished second. People can imagine , if the two stars return to the team, Garner will be the best candidate for the championship.
It is worth mentioning that Ghana has been quite successful in cultivating young players, which has also enabled Ghana to have a very eye-catching performance in the World Youth Championship. Young players with potential continue to emerge, and the Ghana national team has also benefited a lot from this. The average age of the current Ghanaian main lineup is quite young. The main players in the Ghanaian team have all played in major European leagues, and the midfield led by Muntari and Essien is the most powerful part of the team.
Muntari became famous in the 2001 World Youth Championship. In that World Youth Championship, Ghana broke into the final, but eventually lost to the host Argentina. Subsequently, Muntari joined Udinese and did not transfer until the summer of 2007. Will go to Portsmouth, but after only playing for one season in Portsmouth, Muntari returned to Serie A and joined Inter Milan.
Muntari, who is of excellent stature, is excellent in offense and defense in the midfield, but this season Muntari has limited opportunities to play in the Inter Milan team, and is more of a substitute. In the national team, due to repeated violations of discipline, Muntari There was friction with the Ghanaian Football Association, but Muntari is still an important member of the Ghanaian team.
Essien is undoubtedly the star most familiar to fans in Ghana. Like Muntari, Essien also became famous in the 2001 World Youth Championship. After two seasons in Lyon, Essien joined Chelsea at a high price in the summer of 2005. , also ushered in a new pinnacle of his personal career.
Essien, who has amazing physical fitness, has extremely good explosive power and running ability. Essien, who has a huge range of running, is in excellent physical condition. overwhelming.
As a barrier in the midfield, Essien is an indispensable key player in both Chelsea and Ghana. The almighty Essien is currently the top midfielder in football.
In the 2006 World Cup, as the core of the team, Essien led Ghana to the top 16. The 27-year-old Essien is still the undisputed leader of the Ghana team.
In Group D, Germany is undoubtedly the strongest team, and it is reasonable to get the right to qualify. The remaining one will be competed by the other three teams. Ghana, with the right time and place, obviously has a better chance to go further.
If the Ghana team in Group D is the African team most likely to create miracles in this World Cup, then Japan in Group E is the Asian team most likely to create the best results.
Group e: This group includes the uncrowned king Holland, the fairy tale kingdom Denmark, the African cheetah Cameroon, and Japan, the country of origin of a film.
If you want to find a leader for each group, the leader of Group E is undoubtedly the Netherlands. At present, in world football, the Netherlands and Spain are the two most powerful teams that have failed to win the World Cup. A traditional strong team, the Netherlands is called the uncrowned king by the fans.
In the World Cup, the famous Dutch football often dies prematurely, making the Netherlands shrouded in grief. The Netherlands entered the World Cup finals twice, but both ended in defeat. In the 2006 World Cup, the Netherlands, which was in the same group as Argentina, Serbia and Montenegro, and Côte d'Ivoire, successfully broke through the group stage, but in the knockout round of 16, the Netherlands eventually lost to Portugal.
In the 2008 European Cup, the Netherlands dominated the group stage, sweeping Italy, France, and Romania. However, in the quarter-finals, the momentum of the Netherlands, which was in the limelight, came to an abrupt end. Can advance to the semi-finals.
In this World Cup qualifier, the only teams worth mentioning in the same group of the Netherlands are Norway and Scotland. After all 8 qualifying rounds, the Netherlands, which conceded only two goals, easily qualified with a complete victory.
Although the strength is strong, Dutch football has always felt like Belgium from the beginning, and it has never been kneaded into a whole.
Since most of the players in the Dutch team have played for the three giants of the Eredivisie, Ajax, Feyenoord and PSV Eindhoven, the internal strife among the various factions is quite serious. There is also a considerable gap between the descendants of Linan and the native Dutch players.
Conflicts between the head coach and the players are even more frequent. Many internal frictions have greatly reduced the combat effectiveness of the Netherlands in many previous competitions, and these problems need to be solved by the head coach Van Marwijk.
Under the leadership of Van Marwijk, the Netherlands has become more focused on the balance of offense and defense, and has played more stably. The Netherlands has never lacked creative offensive players, but on the defensive end, the current Netherlands still has many hidden dangers. The weak defense of the Eredivisie is now a paradise for forwards. When facing strong teams, the Dutch defense is always palpitating. Although the Eredivisie is quite successful in cultivating young players, in recent years, the Eredivisie's local excellent Linebackers haven't emerged as well as offensive players.
However, due to the continuous emergence of talented offensive players, the performance of the Netherlands on the offensive end is still quite a point to watch. Several of the focus stars who play for the giant clubs in major European leagues are the pillars of the Netherlands on the offensive line.
Since joining Arsenal in the summer of 2004, Van Persie's growth has been obvious to all. The technically delicate Van Persie has outstanding passing and dribbling abilities. This season, Van Persie, who switched to the center position at Arsenal, still has a very good performance. When there is no suitable candidate for the center position in the Netherlands, Van Persie can change from a winger to a center forward.
In the 2006 World Cup and the 2008 European Cup, Van Persie performed well. Now Van Persie has become more mature, and his hot temper has also restrained.
Peter Pan Robben became famous in the European Cup in 2004, and then after Chelsea and Real Madrid, Robben joined Bayern Munich this season.
Due to his outstanding skills and speed, Robben has caused headaches for many defenders in the Premier League and La Liga. After joining Bayern Munich this season, Robben ushered in a new peak in his career, whether in the Bundesliga or the Champions League On the field, Robben saved Bayern Munich with his miraculous performance time and time again.
Injuries have always been Robben's biggest enemy. Frequent injuries have made Robben unable to perform continuously. This season, Robben's injuries have improved, which also makes people realize that a healthy Robben is So overwhelming.
Robben's dribbling changes and fake moves are very confusing, and his breakthrough on the wing is quite sharp. While being able to pass deadly threats, Robben, who has outstanding personal skills, also has outstanding scoring ability.
Sneijder, who was born in the youth training of Ajax, also became famous at a young age. After playing for Real Madrid for two seasons, Sneijder had no choice but to leave Inter Milan last summer, but Sneijder played very well in Inter Milan this season. , With his steady performance, Sneijder firmly occupies the core position of Inter Milan's midfielder. In addition to his outstanding offensive organization ability, Sneijder has a deep foundation in taking free kicks and long-range shots.
In the national team, in the 2004 European Cup qualifier against Scotland, Sneijder, who was still a newcomer to the national team at the time, became a blockbuster. midfield core. Although short in stature, Snes has quite high attainments in passing, shooting, ball control, running and many other links.
The prospects of the Dutch team, which has many talented attacking players, are also widely optimistic in this World Cup. Although there are still many hidden dangers in defense, the Dutch with strong attacking strength still have unlimited possibilities.
As the top power in Asian football, this is the fourth time in a row that Japan has entered the World Cup finals. They are also looking forward to creating the best record of an Asian team on the stage of the World Cup. Of course, this is regardless of South Korea's 2002 The case of that shameless fourth place.
This time, in the World Cup Asian qualifiers, the Japanese team had an easy process of qualifying, winning consecutive battles and becoming the first team to enter the World Cup finals except for the host South Africa.
(For this, Chinese football should draw 13,000 big mouths!)
Japan's head coach Takeshi Okada had previously led Japan to the World Cup for the first time in the 1998 World Cup, but Japan's first World Cup experience ended in three defeats. After the experience of the previous three World Cups, Japan's goal this time is to The group qualified.
Similar to the lineups of the previous three World Cups, Japan's striker is still its shortcoming. Most of the strikers in the Japanese team have delicate foot skills and are good at dribbling breakthroughs. However, due to physical limitations, their impact is generally insufficient.
The midfield is still the most prominent part of Japan's strength. Japan, which has many set-piece masters in the formation, relies heavily on set-pieces to score goals.
Since Japan has been unswervingly learning Brazilian football style for 20 years, Japan's passing and cutting cooperation and players' foot skills have been quite formed. In addition, Japan is still learning from Samba football and adding its own players. An inherent specialty of alertness and active running.
Shunsuke Nakamura is the absolute main midfielder that is indispensable in the current Japanese team. After leaving Reggina in Serie A, Shunsuke Nakamura has achieved considerable success in the Celtics of the Soviet Super League. As the core of the midfielder, Nakamura Shunsuke not only helped the Celtics to win the Scottish Super League championship consecutively, but also Shunsuke Nakamura had an eye-catching performance in the Champions League. In both home and away games, he used free kicks to break Manchester United's goal, which left a deep impression on the fans. impression.
However, after switching to the Spaniard in the summer of 2009, Shunsuke Nakamura, who had limited playing opportunities, performed mediocrely, and finally returned to the starting point of his career in the middle of the season for the Yokohama Mariners in the Japanese J-League.
Shunsuke Nakamura has an excellent field vision on the court, and his ability to take free kicks is even more outstanding. In addition to being able to accurately pass the ball to teammates in the penalty area, Shunsuke Nakamura is also frequently able to take free kicks No matter in the national team or in various clubs, Shunsuke Nakamura has left a large number of wonderful scenes of free kicks.
Another noteworthy player in the midfield of the Japanese team is Keisuke Honda, who will play for AC Milan in the future. In the second round against Sevilla, Keisuke Honda scored the winning goal to help CSKA Moscow advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
Keisuke Honda also has the unique skill of taking a free kick, his scoring ability is quite outstanding, and his long-range shooting ability is good. Since he is only 24 years old, Keisuke Honda will be a key player in the Japanese national team for many years to come.
Although the striker strength of the Japanese team is weak, Shinji Okazaki is worth looking forward to. In the past 2009, as the main striker of the Japanese team, Shinji Okazaki maintained a very high scoring rate in the national team. In this season's Japanese j1 league , Shinji Okazaki continued his excellent state in the national team.
The 24-year-old Okazaki Shinji will be Japan's important attacking arrow in the World Cup in South Africa. Although his impact in the penalty area is average due to his stature, the flexible Okazaki Shinji has excellent dribbling ability. It's good at it.
Group E also includes Denmark, which created the first myth in the history of world football. Denmark has only participated in three World Cups before, but Denmark has performed well in these three World Cups. Among them, Denmark is in the same group as Portugal, Sweden, Hungary and other powerful teams. It is convincing and convincing enough for Denmark to qualify directly as the top player in the group.
The head coach Olsen has taken over the Danish national team since the European Cup in 2000, and has been in the position of head coach of the Danish national team for ten years. In the 2002 World Cup, Olsen led Denmark in the Breakthrough in the group stage made France out of the same group early.
Olsen, who dares to use young players, attaches great importance to the training of young players, which also makes the young players in the Danish team gradually provoke the mainstay, which is very different from the traditional Nordic teams that are accustomed to long balls and long balls. What's more, Denmark attaches great importance to ground cooperation, pays attention to technology, and pays attention to teamwork.
The current Danish team puts a lot of emphasis on the combination of passing and cutting and flying on both wings. The offensive from the side and the center can both pose threats to the opponent. In addition, Danish players are generally tall and have excellent physical fitness, which makes the team in physical confrontation and technical The advantages of both aspects are quite prominent.
The number one star in the team is still the striker Thomason. As early as in the 2002 World Cup, Thomason shined brightly. As the main scorer in the Danish team, Thomason who scored four goals is the key to Denmark's success in the group. A key player in line rights.
Thomason, who played for Newcastle in the Premier League briefly, became famous in the Eredivisie Feyenoord. After the 2002 World Cup, he joined AC Milan and played for three seasons. Thomasson, who was a substitute most of the time, has always been able to maintain Quite high breaking efficiency.
But since then, the experiences of Stuttgart and Villarreal have been unspeakably successful. Thomasson returned to Feyenoord in the summer of 2008 and has played so far.
Thomasson is one of the few players who has played in the Eredivisie, Premier League, Serie A, Bundesliga, and La Liga. The experience of La Liga was not successful.
Although he maintained a fairly high goal scoring efficiency in the national team at the peak of his career, Thomasson, who is about to turn 34, has declined a lot in his current state, and it is difficult to be the main shooter in the Danish team.
Replacing Thomasson, it was Bendtner, who was only 22 years old, who took on the task of attacking the Danish city. Although he was young, Bendtner was already the number one striker in the Danish team. After transferring to Arsenal, Bendtner already has rich playing experience in the Premier League, and Bendtner's growth every season is obvious to all.
In the Arsenal team, the tall Bendtner is more often used as a winger due to his exquisite foot skills, and occasionally has the opportunity to serve as the striker in the middle. In the Danish national team, Bendtner is the striker. Bendtner, who has the skills at his feet and has obvious air superiority, is currently the most important shooter in the Danish formation, and his tactical role in the Danish formation is quite prominent.
Compared with the performance of repeatedly wasting good opportunities in front of the goal when he was playing for Arsenal, Bendtner's performance in the Danish national team is much better. Due to his long career, Bendtner still has considerable potential to tap. big.
In addition to Bendtner, there is another young man worth looking forward to, that is the defender Agger who played for Liverpool. When he first arrived in Liverpool, due to the fierce competition for the central defender position, the young Agger had limited opportunities to play. , Since then, due to frequent injuries, the number of appearances of Agger has been greatly restricted, but the performance of Agger with excellent physical fitness in the defense line is still affirmed, and the air defense advantage is quite obvious. In addition, Agger even has a long-range shot.
In the Danish national team, Agger and Kjaer, who plays for Palermo and has received much attention from the giants, are the first choice for the central defender position. Due to their good complementarity, Agger and the younger Kjaer Er's pairing at the central defender position was quite successful.
Another team in this group is the Cheetah Cameroon from Africa. In the 2006 World Cup African qualifiers, Cameroon lost the right to qualify for the World Cup because it failed to score the crucial 12-yard penalty at the last moment. Cameroon did not start well in the World Cup qualifiers this time. In the qualifying stage of the top twenty, Cameroon's record after the first two rounds was only 1 draw and 1 loss. When the qualifying situation was critical, he once coached Lyon The successful French coach Le Guin took over Cameroon, and then Le Guin led Cameroon to successfully get the World Cup ticket with a wave of four consecutive victories.
Cameroon, nicknamed the "African Lion", is a traditional strong team in Africa. As early as the 1990 World Cup, Cameroon defeated the defending champion Argentina in the opening game. In the end, Cameroon broke into the quarterfinals of that World Cup. Created the best record of an African team in World Cup history.
At present, Cameroon has a large number of players playing in the European league, and the team also has the strength to hit the top eight of the World Cup again.
In the current Cameroon team, Eto'o is undoubtedly the most appealing number one star in the team. Eto'o became famous at a young age and was signed by Real Madrid early, but he has never been able to get enough playing opportunities in Real Madrid. , Eto'o was able to join Barcelona in the summer of 2004 after becoming an efficient shooter in La Liga during his time at Mallorca.
Playing for Barcelona for five seasons, Eto'o has truly become a world-class star. Eto'o, who has maintained a high scoring rate, is the key player for Barcelona to dominate in La Liga.
Previously, Eto'o participated in the 1998 and 2002 World Cups. Among them, Eto'o was only 17 years old when he participated in the 1998 World Cup. He has a very keen sense of smell in front of the goal. Eto'o, who is now 29 years old, is in his prime, and his performance will be directly related to whether Cameroon can appear in the team.
Eto'o is in charge on the front line, and the key to defense is the young player Alexander Song. After five seasons in the Premier League, Alexander Song, who has gradually gained a foothold in Arsenal's formation, still has a lot of room for improvement.
The qualifying situation in Group E is also unclear. Of course, the strength of the Netherlands is much stronger than the other three opponents. However, whether the Dutch team's unstable performance in the competition can be overcome this time will be the key.
Japan and Cameroon are equally strong, and Denmark can't be ignored either, and they can perform exceptionally well in every major competition. In the end, those two teams will qualify in Group E. It seems that they still need to wait for the test of the game.
As half of the host, Cameroon's performance is worth looking forward to, and they will definitely get the support of more fans in the game.
However, the support of the fans is only one aspect. The most important thing is to see how Eto'o's performance is. If the African Cheetah can continue his performance in Barcelona and Inter Milan, the appearance of the Cameroon team should not be a problem.
