Chapter 206 The French Trident
On December 12, the third round of the group stage of Group E and Group F also started fighting.
Brazil narrowly beat Iran 3:2, and Russia, which lost 1:2 to Colombia, called it a fluke.
In the end, Brazil qualified first in the group with 9 points, and Russia, which also scored 3 points, beat Iran to qualify because it had one more goal difference than Iran.
The moment the referee blew the game whistle, the Iranian players all stood on the court dumbfounded after learning the score of another game.
Many Iranian players couldn't help covering their faces and crying.
This is the sixth time that Iran has entered the World Cup since it entered the World Cup for the first time in 1978.
But no one was able to break out of the group stage.
I don't know when the Iranian team's knockout dream will come true.
The two games in Group F were also brilliant.
England's 5-0 thrashing of Australia discredited the Kangaroos in Oceania.
In another game, Switzerland beat German tanks 2-0.
The German team has not broken out of the group stage in two consecutive World Cups.
The German team feels as if it has embarked on the old path of the Spanish team. After prosperity, it quickly declined.
England has 9 points and is first in the group, while Switzerland is second in the group.
In the knockout round, Brazil VS Switzerland, England VS Russia.
On December 12, the closing match of the last two groups attracted more attention.
Croatia 3:0 Paraguay.
Italy 2:0 Nigeria.
In the end, Croatia and Italy qualified together.
Both teams have two wins and one tie with 7 points, and the goal difference is four goals. In the end, Croatia won the first place in the group with one more goal, and Italy can only rank second.
The final match of Group H.
Portugal did not relax in the face of Nigeria, which gave it a go. Ronaldo made the game lose suspense in the first half.
Unwilling to be lonely, Ronaldo completed his first hat-trick in the World Cup in 10 minutes in the first half, catching up with Li Mingyu, Messi, and Neymar.
In the end, Portugal slaughtered Nigeria 5-0.
In the life-and-death battle with Senegal, Denmark burst out with a strong fighting spirit and beat its opponent 2:0.
In the end, Portugal qualified first in the group, and Denmark, which was originally ranked fourth in the group, finally made a comeback and jumped to the second position in the group.
Croatia VS Denmark, Portugal VS Italy.
The group stage is all over, and the lineup for the knockout round has all come out.
The grouping of the two halves has also been clearly defined.
The upper half is composed of No.1 from the four groups A, C, E, and G and No.2 from the four groups B, D, F, and H.
The lower half is composed of No.1 from the four groups B, D, F, and H and No.2 from the four groups A, C, E, and G.
Since the time of this World Cup is shorter than that of the past World Cup, after the end of the group stage, there is no rest, and the knockout match will be played directly.
The game on December 12rd, at 3:18, was the first place in Group A against the second place in Group B, that is, Uruguay VS Japan.
At 22:00, it was the highlight of Spain VS France.
Two days of rest time should be enough for Spain. After all, Spain did not pay too much for the challenge of Syria in the last round.
Li Mingyu was replaced after 45 minutes of playing.
But France is different. They tried their best to defeat South Africa, and many players played the whole game.
Therefore, before this game, the media were very optimistic about Spain.
The first knockout match was held at the Khalifa International Stadium, which is also the venue for the last three or four finalists.
Uruguay VS Japan.
A battle between the powerhouses of South America and the top names in Asia.
The Japanese team has always been based on the South American style of the Brazilian team, so when facing Uruguay, they will not feel awkward at all.
The performance of the two teams on the court is also impressive.
The delicate footwork of the Japanese team made Uruguay feel a lot of pressure.
In the No. 20 minute, the Japanese team played for the Bundesliga Bremen team Isamu Osako also helped the Japanese team open the scoring.
After the goal, the Japanese team played more freely.
Although Suarez is still strong, he is about to be 36 years old, and his physical fitness has declined very obviously.
In the first three games, Suarez played the whole game. Such a high-intensity game has basically exhausted his physical strength.
Facing the tough defense of the Japanese team, Suarez faltered and couldn't get the support of the midfielder at all.
Amidst the cheering roar of the Japanese fans in the stands, the Japanese team scored another goal in the second half and finally defeated the mighty Uruguay team 2:0.
The first team to advance to 8 goals was born, the Japanese team.
Their opponents in the quarter-finals will be the winners of Spain and France.
This is also the first time that the Japanese team has entered the quarter-finals of the World Cup since they entered the World Cup for the first time in 1998.
After the game, the eyes of the excited fans turned to the Al-Jarafa Stadium.
Here, both Spain and France are ready.
Catherine and Bella arrived at the Al-Jarafa Stadium early, waiting for the game to start.
After the group stage, what pleased Catherine the most was that the England team and the Spain team were divided into two different halves. In other words, she didn't have to worry about which side she should stand in if her home team England and Li Mingyu's Spain team faced off before the final.
Both Catherine and Bella were wearing Li Mingyu's No. 10 jersey, and their good figures made the jersey very attractive.
Bella was also dragged by Catherine to watch the game for so many days, and she also developed a lot of interest in football.
That's the beauty of football.
When you are integrated into this intoxicating atmosphere, you will fall in love with this sport deeply.
Bella and Catherine have now become the focus of the fans. Before the start of the game, the shots of the two frequently appeared on the big screen at the scene.
Bella's "Victory Smile" has become a magical story.
In the six group matches between England and Spain, both Bella and Catherine were on the scene, leaving rumors that Bella's smile can bring victory to the team.
Believe it or not, many fans in Spain and England believe this anyway.
So, when the Spanish fans saw Bella's alluring smile on the big screen again, they all clamored excitedly.
The goddess of victory is smiling, we are sure to win!
Players from both sides began to warm up on the court, and the referee also led his team to check the equipment on the court.
This time the main referee is from the Asian referee group. The main referee Shah Demirdasi is an international referee from Saudi Arabia, two assistant referees are from Iran and Uzbekistan, the fourth official is from the United Arab Emirates, and three VAR referees are from South Korea, Bahrain and Japan.
In 2021, there were reports that the 2022 World Cup in Qatar might introduce Chinese international referees into the World Cup law enforcement, which immediately attracted a lot of criticism.
What embarrasses the Chinese people the most is that the famous international referee in Egypt, Gerheid Gresha, explicitly rejected the invitation to enforce the law in the Super League.
Gheide-Gresha's reply was, I hope to be able to referee the 2022 World Cup!
Heartbroken old man!
This year, thanks to Gerheid Gresha's law enforcement experience in last year's Africa Cup of Nations, he has obtained the law enforcement qualifications for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
In the group stage, he officiated two games, England vs Switzerland and France vs South Africa.
In these two games, he showed very good ability.
Today's referee Shah Demirdasi also blew two group games, this is his third game.
After warming up, the players on both sides returned to the locker room to make final preparations.
The bell rang and the game began immediately.
The players came out of the locker room respectively and came to the player tunnel.
Many players in these two teams are old acquaintances.
Griezmann and Bailey are both Li Mingyu's teammates in Barcelona. Mbappe and Li Mingyu have played against each other in the Champions League, and the two also cherish each other.
Benzema and Li Mingyu, who played for Real Madrid, also hugged cordially.
The French team's lineup this time is actually very luxurious.
Mbappe, Benzema, and Griesmann's forward line are daunting.
Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid, Barcelona, the front line composed of the main strikers of the three top teams, just ask you if you are afraid!
Kanter, Pogba, and Rabiot's luxurious midfielders also make people drool.
The combination of Lucas, Kimpembe, Varane, and Pawar are also the core of their respective teams' defense.
Although goalkeeper Lloris is 35 years old, his good condition has allowed him to secure his position as the starting goalkeeper of the French team.
According to the strength on paper, the French team will never lose to the Spanish team.
According to the French media, if the French team can pass the Spanish team, it is estimated that they are very likely to defend their title.
What a huge temptation to be the defending World Cup champion.
Many of the French team's World Cup squad this time are old players from 2018.
If they can successfully defend their title, these men will surely become the most famous figures in the history of the World Cup.
Looking at the high-spirited French team, Li Mingyu had a solemn expression on his face.
This game, I must win!
The referee standing in front also felt the strong fighting spirit behind him, and couldn't help but glance back.
This is the World Cup!
The referee shouted in English, "Hey guys, it's time to play!"
The players from both sides held their caddies, followed the pace of the referee, and slowly walked into the court.
Seeing the players enter the stadium, the atmosphere in the stadium reached a climax all of a sudden.
Catherine shouted Li Mingyu's name loudly. Although she was quickly drowned by other people's voices, she still shouted happily.
Bella sat there, quiet like a fan, and seemed out of place with the surrounding environment.
But the anticipation in Bella's eyes showed that she was no longer the Bella who wanted to go home and read a book a few days ago!
Cousin, come on!
Bella said secretly in her heart.
Li Mingyu seemed to feel the support from the two beauties, so he couldn't help but look at where they were, and smiled slightly.
Immediately afterwards, Li Mingyu suppressed the smile on his face, and focused all his attention on the upcoming one-eighth knockout round.
The enthusiasm of the fans made the atmosphere of the whole stadium more and more high.
Li Mingyu's heart could beat rapidly.
Excitement, unprecedented excitement.
What a fascinating moment in the knockout round of the World Cup!
Players from both sides came to their own half, waiting for the start of the game.
The referee looked at his watch and blew the whistle to start the first half on time.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully signing in to the Al-Garafa Stadium, and obtaining the classic shooting skills of the famous French star Zidane, Flying Immortal. 】
Li Mingyu couldn't help but his eyes lit up. This is a masterpiece of Zidane's career.
That was born in the 2002 Champions League final.
Roberto Carlos made a pass from the wing. However, due to the interference of the opponent's defensive player, Carlos passed the ball high and floating.
Faced with such a difficult ball, Zidane's approach made everyone admire it.
In his penalty area, he raised his left foot, and when the football fell, he slammed it fiercely.
Football is really like a fairy flying from the sky, flying directly into the gate of AC Milan.
At that time, this kick shocked everyone.
The most shocking thing is that Zidane scored with his own reverse foot, volleying with his left foot.
In this world, there are many players who have had wonderful volleys, but who has scored such a wonderful volley with their own inverted foot?
Moreover, this shot is also known as the first of the most exciting goals in the history of the Champions League.
Needless to say.
This shot is not only difficult, but also highly entertaining.
Li Mingyu glanced at the introduction of this skill, and was a little dumbfounded.
[Flying Immortal Outside the Sky: Due to the extreme viewing and difficulty, it can only be activated in specific games, such as the finals of the World Cup, the finals of the Champions League, and the finals of the European Cup, and only when there is a suitable pass can it be activated. 】
[Note: Once activated, this skill has an unstoppable nature, that is to say, it is a must-goal! 】
Li Mingyu couldn't help cursing inwardly, fuck, what kind of shit must score, with so many requirements, it has to be the final, and there has to be such a pass, it's too difficult!
Seeing that the opponent had kicked off, Li Mingyu immediately gathered his mind and put all his attention on the game.
Mbappé, Griesmann, and Benzema's trident are definitely the strongest frontcourt trio in this World Cup, not one of them.
From the very beginning, the two sides fell into the scramble between the midfield and the frontcourt. The goal of the French team was very simple. With sufficient physical strength at the beginning of the game, they broke through Spain's midfield defense and won the first goal.
Because they know that their physical strength has already had a big problem.
