Chapter 39: Qualifying From the Group Stage and Transfer Window
The Chinese team beat Mexico, which became the biggest highlight of this week's game.
Especially after the Chinese team won the game, it jumped to the top of Group F.
For any Asian team, it is difficult to qualify for the group, let alone win the first place in the group.
The current ranking of Group F is as follows:
First: China, 1-1-0, 4 points.
Second: Germany, 1-0-1, 3 points.
Third: Mexico, 1-0-1, 3 points.
Fourth: Sweden, 0-1-1, 1 point.
After winning the game, the probability of the Chinese team advancing to the World Cup finals has greatly increased.
Following the last World Cup, the Chinese team may enter the World Cup finals again.
This is extremely exciting news for any Chinese fan.
Of course, Chinese fans at this time are probably celebrating wildly.
After the Chinese team beat Mexico, the whole Chinese land has been boiling.
In the neon-lit city, fireworks and firecrackers bloomed, as lively as the New Year.
The Internet and the media are all full of news about the Chinese team's victory over Mexico.
Even non-fans have started to pay attention to the remaining World Cup matches and rewatch this game.
Chinese fans are still not satisfied, and they are talking about the future with relish.
Of course, although the Chinese team is currently in the lead, it does not mean that they can celebrate wantonly.
After all, the last game is also crucial.
Once Germany beats the Chinese team and Mexico beats Sweden, the Chinese team will still be eliminated.
For this reason, the Chinese team must maintain a draw and win in the next game.
And the next round of the game is also the most challenging game for the Chinese team in the group stage.
Although the German team suddenly lost to Mexico in the first round of the group.
But this does not mean that the German team is really not good.
Once they are given enough time to adjust, and after two rounds, no one knows how the German team will adjust.
In the last game, although the German team still played the rhythm of passing and controlling.
But no one can guarantee that Loew will suddenly play defensive counterattacks and Germany will resume the rhythm of playing with big moves in the past.
And even if Germany passes and controls, the Chinese team needs to defend carefully.
On the return bus, the Chinese players who had played a game had fallen asleep.
Winning this game was a pleasant surprise, but the process was also extremely difficult.
The players spent a lot of energy to win the victory.
The good news is that with this game, the Chinese team's running-in seems to have become more perfect.
At night, the Russian media was basically about China's 2:1 Mexico.
Mexico became the background board today.
And the Chinese team became the protagonist tonight with this victory.
Following Iceland's Viking war cry, the Chinese team, representing the Eastern country, also shouted a shocking dragon roar on the Russian stage.
And compared to Iceland, the Chinese team is more thorough.
They not only defeated Mexico, but also became the first in the group.
It can be said that the current qualifying situation of Group F is the most difficult to predict.
Of course, even if the Chinese team wins this game, the media reporters still do not think that the Chinese team can successfully advance.
After all, the next game, the German tank will stand in front of them.
Although the German team lost in the first game, they found a chance to return to the top of the group with China's victory over Mexico.
As long as the German team beats the Chinese team, they are likely to qualify as the first in the group.
For this reason, the German team is also preparing intensively.
On June 25, with Colombia's 3:0 victory over Poland, the second round of the World Cup group stage was over.
After completing two rounds of games, the teams that qualified and were eliminated from the group advanced one after another.
Portugal in Group B, France in Group C, Croatia in Group D, Brazil in Group E, and Belgium in Group G.
All these players won a qualifying spot with a record of two wins.
And they are likely to qualify as the first in the group.
At the same time, Morocco from Group B became the first national team to be eliminated in this group stage.
With two consecutive losses, Morocco has no possibility of qualifying.
Even winning the last game will not help him qualify.
Iceland in Group D drew with Argentina, creating a big upset in the first round, but was suppressed by Nigeria in the second round and failed to continue its dark horse posture.
It can be said that the biggest dark horse of this World Cup so far is undoubtedly the Chinese team, which ranks first in Group F.
With its performance, the Chinese team has also received great attention.
For this reason, many media also said that they ignored the attention to the Chinese team, and the strength of the Chinese team is not as weak as it seems.
Despite the chaos in Group F, if you want to fight for hope in the chaos, you also need the addition of strength.
Just like the Chinese team's victory over Mexico, those two goals were not luck.
Especially the ability to adjust at the last minute, which also ushered in the second goal for the Chinese team.
It can be said that after two rounds, the Chinese team is the national team with the greatest improvement in this World Cup.
As for the media's remarks, Lippi's answer is also very simple.
He said that the Chinese team itself has enough strength. Their lack of running-in before the game became a key factor that hindered them, but now they have gradually adapted to the rhythm of the World Cup and can achieve great growth after each game.
When facing reporters' questions about Le Kai and Chen Man, Lippi's answer was very simple.
'Chen is our offensive arrow, and Kai is our absolute core! This is beyond doubt! '
At the same time, Lippi also praised Chen Man's performance.
In this regard, the reporters also agreed.
Chen Man has scored three goals in this World Cup, three goals in two rounds of games, and such performance is already the best.
At present, Chen Man and C Ronaldo are both second in the scorer list.
Harry Kane, who ranked first, scored four goals in two rounds of games.
Chen Man also attracted great attention with his performance.
In particular, Bayern Munich, which was interested in Chen Man before, once again made a transfer offer to Liverpool.
But Liverpool rejected it very directly.
At the same time, Liverpool is also negotiating a contract extension with Chen Man in full swing.
Although so far, due to the World Cup, they have not been able to communicate too much with Chen Man.
But the two sides have basically finalized their intentions.
In the next season, Chen Man will receive better treatment and more team resources, and Chen Man will continue to play for Liverpool.
As for Lucky, who also performed well, no one is interested.
It is a simple reason that Arsenal will not agree to Lucky's transfer offer, and even if Lucky agrees to transfer, his liquidated damages are a huge amount of money that many giants cannot afford.
For this reason, except for the rich like Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City, no one dares to contact Lucky.
Of course, the core of the transfer so far is not Lucky.
But Cristiano Ronaldo!
After the second round of the World Cup, Cristiano Ronaldo's excellent performance once again made him a topic of conversation.
At the same time, whether intentionally or not, Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer news was also exposed.
From the news, Cristiano Ronaldo may leave Real Madrid, where he has played for a long time.
Once the news was exposed, the world was shocked.
After all, for everyone, Ronaldo's relationship with Real Madrid is equivalent to Messi's relationship with Barcelona.
Especially Real Madrid fans, they never thought that one day they would lose Ronaldo.
For this reason, the entire Real Madrid fan team fell into a more panic stage.
At present, the only one who has contacted Ronaldo is Juventus.
Compared with the panicked Real Madrid fans, Juventus fans are extremely excited.
They are even starting to calculate how much money is needed to bring Ronaldo to Turin.
Even many fans are willing to donate spontaneously for this.
Yes!
They all want Ronaldo.
For Juventus fans, they may usher in the greatest shooter of this century.
At the same time, the World Cup fever is still going on vigorously.
The third round of the group stage is seamlessly connected.
The third round will completely determine the group's qualifying places.
For any team with the hope of qualifying, this is an extremely critical game.
And on June 26, after the third round of the game, the ranking of Group A and the qualifying situation were determined.
First: Uruguay, 2-1-0, 7 points.
Second: Russia, 2-0-1, 6 points.
Third: Saudi Arabia, 1-0-2, 3 points.
Fourth: Egypt, 0-1-2, 1 point.
Uruguay and host Russia advance to the quarter-finals of the 2018 World Cup!
