Chapter 1021 Three rounds of attack

As soon as the third round of the World Cup started, it was already in a hot state.

After all, it is for the promotion places, so every team fights hard for this.

Especially those teams with only a glimmer of hope, they are constantly striving to create miracles.

However, miracles are still not so easy to appear.

The third round of Group B will start at the same time.

Spain VS Morocco.

Portugal VS Iran.

After the game started, it fell into a weird atmosphere.

Portugal scored early in the first half, and then showed possession and defense as a whole. They were not in a hurry to score, as if they were waiting for something.

On the other side of the game, Morocco looked extremely unrestrained after being eliminated.

After taking off the pressure, they played better.

In the first half, facing the Spanish bombardment, they not only kept the score, but also scored the first goal.

Although Spain equalized the score in less than five minutes, the overall form is not particularly favorable for Spain.

And it can be seen from the process of the game that Spain does not seem to be in the same state.

The real weird atmosphere began to appear in the second half of the game between the two sides.

First of all, Morocco crazily attacked the Spanish goal. Even ten minutes after the start of the second half, Morocco performed even better.

Here does not rule out the fact that Morocco performed better without pressure.

In another game, Portugal as a whole seemed a little leisurely.

Although they have won the promotion places and can play games with confidence, they played too casually.

Especially in 70 minutes, Iran used a defensive counterattack to break through Portugal's goal and equalize the score.

Now, the whole arena is blown up.

Both the Portuguese fans and the Iranian fans looked unbelievable.

"Portugal wants to get rid of Spain!"

Chen slowly grinned.

It is not difficult to see from Portugal's game state that they are waterproofing.

Although it is not blatantly released, the defensive pressure on some Iranian players is not great, and it even seems to be cooperating with them to score goals.

A draw has little effect on Portugal.

On the contrary, the qualifying situation for Spain will present an extremely severe state.

If Spain loses the game, they will completely lose their chance to qualify.

Portugal and Iran qualify together.

Spain draws, then they have to decide the qualifying issue with Iran by goal difference.

Unless Spain can win the game.

And it is precisely based on this that during the half-time break, Portugal definitely heard Spain's current score and status. For this reason, they are releasing water, in order to send Spain home early in the group stage, and take the lead in killing a threatening player. opponent.

This situation is not difficult to see in the World Cup.

Especially for those teams that have already qualified for qualifying, they can strive for more vested interests on the premise of ensuring their stable qualifying.

"Portugal dare not release water anymore." Le Kai said; "Currently, even if Spain and Iran are equal in points, Spain's goal difference will be one more, unless Portugal takes the risk of qualifying for the second place in the group on the premise of losing the game. to be waterproof, but these few books are impossible!"

Other Chinese players also nodded.

Sure enough, with the passage of time, Spain continued to attack fiercely, and Morocco also launched sharp counterattacks again and again.

The end of the final 90-minute game.

The score between the two sides was actually a tie.

Spain 2:2 Morocco.

Portugal 1:1 Iran.

Group B points ranking:

First: Portugal, 2-1-0, 7 points.

Second: Spain, 1-1-1, 4 points (goal difference).

Third: Iran, 1-1-1, 4 points.

Fourth: Morocco, 0-1-2, 1 point.

Portugal racked their brains to get rid of Spain, but failed in the end.

Two teams advanced to the quarter-finals of the World Cup.

Russia, Kazan.

The Chinese team arrived in the city of the third round and has already started training.

After entering the third round, the schedule of the game was accelerated, and the four teams in the same group played at the same time, leaving little time for the Chinese team to prepare.

Only three days after the last game, the Chinese team will prepare for the third game.

Germany is undoubtedly a tough opponent.

There is almost no specific way to win.

Of course, Lippi would not say that, but during this period of training almost all focused on chain defense and high-position pressing.

is to meet the German transmission and control model.

Lippi believes that the German team still adopted pass-and-control tactics in the final round.

Love is a stubborn person.

Although so far, the German team has a record of one win and one loss in the World Cup, it also shows that half of his tactics are feasible.

Just adjust on this basis.

For this reason, Lippi's training during this period was almost all defensive counterattacks.

Many of them are tactics and playing methods for pass control.

At the same time, the Chinese team is also paying attention to the current qualifying situation.

On the 26th, the qualifying battle of Group D will be held.

At present, three groups of qualifying teams have been determined, a total of six teams, namely

Group A: Uruguay, Russia.

Group B: Portugal, Spain.

Group C: France, Denmark.

Tonight, Group D will be played, which is the group where Argentina, Croatia, Nigeria and Iceland are located.

As Messi's group, today's game also attracted a lot of attention.

Approaching After being tied by Iceland, Argentina's qualifying situation is also in an uncertain state.

And there is also the question of whether Croatia will release water like Portugal.

After the first two rounds of competition, Argentina is currently 0-1-1, and a victory is hard to come by.

It can be said that if Messi and Argentina want to advance, everything depends on whether this game can be won.

It can be said that between Nigeria and Argentina, whoever wins will be able to advance.

Especially for Argentina, they can't even draw.

After all, Nigeria has a victory in hand.

In the evening, after the Chinese players washed up, they gathered in the conference room again.

Currently their life is very simple and regular.

In addition to playing football during the day, there is only watching football at night.

Lippi encouraged the players to watch the game, on the one hand to let the players fully feel the tense atmosphere, and on the other hand to let them enter the state of the game early.

Before the game started, the Chinese players had already felt the suffocating pressure.

Especially looking at the expressions of the Argentine players looking at death like home, they all became a little nervous.

After all, it's their turn tomorrow.

For the Chinese team, this is a battle of life and death.

After all, the form of Group F is too complicated, and they try their best to get a draw or even win.

"You said, can Argentina advance?"

Chen Slow asked nervously.

Lucky shook his head.

He dare not say that Argentina can advance. Over there, Portugal has qualified first in the group. There are too many variables.

Although so far, the teams that have advanced to the top sixteen of the World Cup are the same, but there may not be variables.

And Argentina's game is very hanging!

"Damn it! No way?"

Just 9 minutes into the game, the Nigerian player was violated and fell to the ground in Argentina's penalty area.

The referee showed Argentina player Mascherano a yellow card and awarded Nigeria a penalty.

Now, Argentina, which was originally passive, became even worse.

Nigerian player Moses takes the penalty kick.

When he sent the ball firmly into the lower left corner, it also represented that Argentina was officially pushed to the edge of the cliff.

Taking a step back would be a point of no return.

And this penalty hit the Argentine players very hard.

It can be felt that the expressions of the Argentine players have become a little panicked one by one.

Even Messi frowned.

The form is extremely unfavorable to Argentina, and the Chinese players have also calmed down one by one.

They can feel the complex emotions of panic, sadness, hope, helplessness and so on flowing among Argentine players and fans.

Throughout the first half, Argentina was in an extremely passive situation.

And Messi failed to bring absolute help to Argentina.

In Nigeria's strict defense against Messi, Messi also feels a little lost.

Argentina is facing a cliff line!
