Chapter 294 All three battles won, the first place in the group advances!
On June 6, the final round of the group stage kicked off.
The Brazilian team withstood the pressure. When they faced Cameroon in the last round, they beat their opponents 4:1 and successfully advanced to the knockout round as the first in the group.
Although Mexico also defeated Croatia, their goal difference was 2 less than that of Brazil, and they had to advance as the second place in the group.
As for Modric's Croatia, after three games, one win and two losses, the third place in the group was unfortunately out.
Cameroon from Africa lost all three games, scoring 1 goal and conceding 9 goals, and was humiliated.
After the qualifying teams in Group A are confirmed, the two qualifying teams are paying special attention to the final results of Group B.
Since Spain has already qualified ahead of schedule, Bosque arranged a lot of substitutes for the last game.
De Gea, Cork, Martinez, Juanfran, Villa, Mata, Fabregas, Pedro and others started the game for the first time.
However, in order to ensure a stable victory in the game, Bosque still kept some main players on the field, and the three main players of Xiaobai Iniesta, Lin Quan and Alonso continued to play.
The team's main central defender Ramos accumulated two yellow cards and was suspended. Harvey, David Silva and others all sat on the bench to watch the game.
In this game, all the Spanish soldiers were relatively relaxed, and there was basically no pressure.
But they still have to fight to win this game!
Although Spain has qualified ahead of schedule, it has not completely secured the first place in the group.
If they lose to Australia by a big margin in the last round, it is theoretically possible to lose the first place in the group.
It's just that this possibility is relatively small, because Spain's current goal difference is as high as 8, leading the Netherlands by 11 goals and Chile by 10 goals.
Such a big gap, to recover unless they can get a big victory, and pray that Spain loses to Australia.
The former is still possible, but the latter is almost impossible.
Australia lost both battles, and the strength group is at the bottom. If you expect them to fight a tragedy in Spain, then you might as well expect to buy lottery tickets to win the jackpot!
The situation of the game also developed according to expectations.
Facing the weak Australian team, although Spain has most of the substitutes, their substitute lineup is still much stronger than Australia's lineup.
In the 16th minute of the first half, Villa scored a goal to help the team lead the opponent 1:0.
The Australian players played fairly tenaciously. They have been eliminated in advance. This game is completely fighting for honor.
In this case, they did not hide in their own half and blindly defend, but bravely pulled out to fight against Spain.
For Australia, winning is impossible, but if they can score a few goals against Spain, it will be worth it. After Spain wins the championship, they can also brag to others after returning home: We have broken the world championship Spain's goal!
It's just that Australia's choice made them a little overwhelmed in the face of Spain's fierce attack.
In the 36th minute of the first half, Spain scored again.
After Lin Quan, Mata, Iniesta, Fabregas and others completed multiple consecutive passes, the football was almost kicked into Australia's goal by Lin Quan in the form of a pass.
Only at this moment did the Australian players feel the suffocation and powerlessness of facing the world's most powerful team, and they were able to keep up with the opponent's players at the beginning.
Later, after Spain made multiple consecutive passes, they all fainted. A large number of players almost subconsciously ran with the ball. There were huge loopholes in the entire defense line, allowing Spanish players to intersperse and shoot at will.
In this case, it is not surprising to concede the ball at all, it is a miracle not to concede the ball!
After leading by two goals, Australia was finally woken up.
They didn't dare to attack anymore, and began to shrink their defenses, putting on a defensive posture.
The huge gap in strength between the two teams made them realize the reality. It is really difficult to score goals from Spain.
It is as strong as the Dutch team and only scored one goal, and the Chilean team did not score a single goal. That is still the case of Spain with one less player!
Facts have proved that the shuttle bus really works.
The 2:0 score was maintained until halftime.
In the second half, they changed sides and fought again, and Spain made personnel adjustments.
Iniesta was replaced, Torres played, and Spain played a double striker tactic.
However, the double-forward tactics seem to be useless. Facing the opponent's intensive defense, neither Villa nor Torres can find a good chance to score.
Bosque continued to make personnel adjustments. In the 65th minute, he replaced Harvey Alonso and replaced Harvey.
This substitution quickly achieved results. In the 69th minute, Harvey instigated an attack in the midfield. After the ball was passed by Lin Quan, it was handed over to Torres.
Relying on his strong physical fitness, Torres carried the pull of the opponent's defender, broke into the penalty area, suddenly kicked and shot, and scored the ball!
This is Torres's second personal goal in this World Cup. Both goals came from Lin Quan's assists!
Torres was very excited after the goal, and ran to the sidelines to celebrate with an elegant little slip.
Playing football with this group of teammates in the national team is so damn happy. There are always a group of selfless and powerful teammates here who are keen to pass the ball to him. As long as he runs out of opportunities, the ball will definitely be delivered to him. All he has to do is to send the ball into the goal!
Scoring 3 goals in 2 games, and still on the stage of the World Cup, this makes him feel like he is back to the top!
Torres' best performance in the World Cup was the 2006 World Cup in Germany. At that time, he scored 4 goals in 3 games, including a brace once.
It is a pity that Spain met the powerful French team in the quarter-finals and ended its World Cup journey early. Otherwise, with the fiery state of Torres at the time, he would definitely score more goals.
Eight years have passed in a blink of an eye, and Torres is 8 years old. After experiencing the sinking of the club and the national team, I thought it would be difficult for him to make achievements on such an international stage.
Unexpectedly, because of Lin Quan's appearance, he had a second spring!
For the few balls Lin Quan passed to him, he could have hit the goal by himself, but Lin Quan still passed them selflessly!
It would be great if such a good teammate could be brought to the club!
It's a pity that I can't take it away, and Manchester City won't sell it either!
Besides, let Lin Quan always treat him as a green leaf, Torres can't say such a thing!
After Torres scored, Bosque continued to make substitutions.
He replaced David Silva and replaced Lin Quan.
Although Lin Quan only scored one goal in this game, his role on the field is obvious to all fans.
So, when seeing Lin Quan being replaced, the fans at the scene stood up and gave him applause.
Lin Quan also responded by clapping towards the four sides of the court, thanking the fans for their support.
Seeing this scene, Bosque showed a satisfied smile.
He specially reserved the last substitution spot for Lin Quan. The purpose was to make up for the lack of a substitution spot in the last game, allowing Lin Quan to enjoy the applause and cheers of the fans alone.
"Good job!"
After Lin Quan walked to the sidelines and gave David Silva a high five, Bosque opened his arms and gave him a warm hug.
"Lin, you must be thirsty, hurry up, drink some water to replenish your energy!"
Just as Lin Quan sat down on the bench, Coach Tony immediately handed over a bottle of energy drink for Lin Quan to rehydrate.
Lin Quan thanked him politely, took it and drank it in big gulps.
He was indeed a little thirsty, and the drink was chilled. Under the scorching sun, he drank it in one gulp, and felt refreshed all over his body!
The other players on the side looked at Lin Quan enviously. The two coaches really preferred him!
"Coach Tony, I'm also a little thirsty, can you give me a bottle of drink!"
Pique reached out to ask for a drink, but did not receive an enthusiastic reply from Coach Tony.
"Don't you have long legs? It's over there, take it yourself!"
Tony replied bluntly.
That attitude seemed to say: You are a substitute, you haven't kicked for a minute, you haven't sweated a drop, and you drink a fart drink, do you deserve it?
Even the main players like Pique were beaten back, and the remaining players who were eager to try gave up their thoughts.
The qualifications of the club are of no use to the national team, and it is not easy to play big names here.
If they leave a bad impression on the coaching staff, their names may not be included in the next squad!
After Lin Quan left the field, Spain's offense seemed to have returned to the old problem before.
The team has a lot of attackers in the frontcourt. Pedro, Mata, Fabregas, David Silva, Villa and Torres are not weak.
But there is no way to continue to score. Spain's ball possession advantage is very obvious, and the offensive seems to be wave after wave, but they just gain momentum and fail to score, and they cannot continue to expand the score for a long time.
This scene gave Bosque a headache again!
The team on the field is a little familiar and a little strange. What is strange is that he has not seen such a Spanish team for a long time.
What is familiar is that a few years ago, before Lin Quan joined the Spanish team, Spain under him was like this.
At that time, they couldn't even win a low-level Georgia, and they were almost tied in the face of the national football team.
Thinking of this, Bosque sighed.
What if Lin Quan is injured or suspended one day?
But it's not all bad news. The good news is that Lin Quan has not had any major injuries so far, and his physical condition is still very good, and he has not received a yellow card, so there is no need to worry about these problems for the time being.
Moreover, in order to solve the problem of Spain's weak striker, he specially recruited Diego Costa into the team.
Although this kid is injured now, he is still unable to play for the team.
But after he returns from injury, Spain may have a try. In the absence of Lin Quan, use Diego Costa to see if he can replace Lin Quan!
Just as Bosque was thinking about these issues, Spain scored again.
In the 88th minute, Mata scored directly with a free kick to help Spain rewrite the score to 4:0.
Australia was unable to recover, and the last game of the World Cup still failed to win, but was slaughtered by a big score.
But they didn't feel frustrated or anything. After the game, the Australian players ran to the Spanish players to exchange jerseys.
Some people even ran to the sidelines to get paper, pens and cameras prepared in advance, and asked their favorite players for autographs and group photos.
Seeing the Australian players taking photos with Spanish players everywhere on the field, the fans at the scene had a strange feeling:
These people feel that they are not here to play football, but to chase stars!
But even so, fans can't criticize Australian players.
"It's normal. The moment the draw ceremony ended, the Australians should have given up. After all, whoever is assigned to the same group as the world champion and the world runner-up is numb!"
"Yeah, apart from the champion and runner-up of the last World Cup, there is also a strong South American team Chile in the group. None of these three teams can be dealt with by Australia. They come to participate in this World Cup. Fight for honor."
Australia belongs to the AFC, and the AFC is recognized as the weakest region.
In this World Cup, the performances of several Asian teams in the group stage were very poor. Not only could they not see any hope of advancing to the knockout rounds, they could not even win a single victory. Worst record yet!
This made the proposal on the Internet to reduce the AFC World Cup quota once again turned over.
Many fans from Europe said that instead of giving up the World Cup places to regions with relatively backward football levels such as Asia and Africa, it is better to allocate more to Europe.
Because there are a lot of good teams in Europe, but because of the quota limit, there is no way to make it to the World Cup.
Of course, this proposal will definitely not be adopted.
In order to encourage the development of areas with relatively backward football levels, FIFA will not only not compress the World Cup places in Asia, but even wants to allocate more places to them.
After all, on a stage like the World Cup, it is hoped that all countries in the world will participate together.
Even if not every country can send a team to play, it must be as balanced as possible to benefit all regions of the five continents.
Otherwise, it is easy for the World Cup to change from a worldwide football event to a carnival in a certain region.
This is completely contrary to their original idea!
Therefore, FIFA is currently discussing the expansion of the World Cup, and wants to expand the current 32 participating teams to 48.
In this case, a certain men's football team that has been absent from the World Cup consecutively due to its performance and quota may have a chance to play in the World Cup again!
FIFA is very greedy for the huge market of 14 billion people in this country. After all, even if their own national football team fails to break into the World Cup, they can send so much sponsorship fees to the National Football Federation.
If their national team can enter the World Cup, the commercial income it will bring is unimaginable!
Of course, with the current situation of a certain national football team gradually sinking, it seems that even if it expands the army, it seems to be useless.
After all, even Thailand can lose 1:5, so it seems impossible to lose to Vietnam and Myanmar next, right?
