Chapter 747

The results of the first match day of the quarter-finals did not exceed people's predictions before the match.

The South Korean team's exit was expected by most people. Although South Korea is considered one of the best teams in Asia, it is nothing in the world. Uruguay's strength is even more favored among the teams that have emerged from the division.

Although there were some twists and turns in the process, the final result was uneventful. Uruguay defeated South Korea 2:1 and took the lead in advancing to the quarterfinals of the World Cup.

As for the confrontation between Ghana and the United States, the strength of the two teams is evenly matched. Whoever advances may be eliminated. In the end, the Ghanaian buffalo was stronger and stronger, kicking Uncle Sam back to his hometown.The Ghana team can be regarded as the last glimmer of glory reserved for African football. They are the only remaining African team in this World Cup.

The promotion of Uruguay and Ghana did not cause much disturbance, but the confrontation in the next two match days attracted more attention.Especially the battle between Britain and Germany the next day attracted the attention of the world.

After 10 and 1 minutes of fierce fighting, the England team, known as the strongest in history, swallowed all four bombs in embarrassment in front of the fierce German chariot, and finally lost with a score of 4:[-]. A shameful defeat!

The German team advances to the quarter-finals with the strong posture of the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves!

In the next few games, Argentina defeated Mexico 3:1, the Netherlands beat Slovakia 2:1 thrillingly, Brazil swept Chile 3:0, and six seats in the World Cup quarterfinals have been taken.

In the six games that have ended, the most amazing is the German team and the Brazilian team.

Needless to say, the Brazilian team is basically no matter which World Cup, they are the favorites to win the championship, and the strength they have shown makes no team dare to underestimate them.

And the German team... In front of the 4:1 victory over the Three Lions, everyone is more aware of the strength of the German team, and it also makes more people feel that the German team is the most powerful contender for the Hercules Cup.

"4:1! An unbelievable game! Such a score in a game between a strong team and a weak team is not amazing. England is not a weak team, but the result is nothing Separately, the English gentleman is beaten to the teeth all over the place!"

"Missed the final of the 2006 World Cup held in China. After four years of precipitation and accumulation, the German team has made a comeback with a stronger posture! This time, their goal is... the championship!"

"Neuer, Ram, Ozil, Podolski...these young but outstanding youngsters are leading the team towards the road of revival!"

"There is no doubt that after the quarter-finals, the German team will become the biggest favorite to win the championship. Any opponent who meets them in the next stage will be extremely headache!"

The media and the Internet were unanimously optimistic and praised the German team, and the betting companies also "followed public opinion". The German team's winning odds rose two terms in a row, surpassing Spain and Brazil, ranking first.

This is an affirmation of their greatest strength.

……

"It's really a very good team. The overall is excellent, the style is obvious, and there are many players with good personal abilities in the team... This team has almost no shortcomings!"

In the meeting room of the hotel where they stayed, all the players of the Spanish team also watched the live broadcast of the game between England and Germany. After all, these two teams are traditional powerhouses in world football. A powerful opponent might be encountered in the next game.

After watching the entire game, all the players were silent by default. Obviously, the big guys were shocked by the comprehensive technical and tactical capabilities displayed by the German team.

In fact, Spain is not unfamiliar with the German team at all. Firstly, the opponent is the same as himself, the same European team. They often encounter each other in various competitions. They have played many times, so they naturally understand each other. Secondly, what? , In the European Cup final two years ago, the two teams really did a real game. With Torres' last-minute goal in that game, the Spanish team successfully defeated the opponent with a score of 1:0. Won the championship and reached the top of Europe.

The German team is very strong, every Spanish player knows this, but after this game, they have a new understanding of the German team - compared to two years ago, this German tank seems to have Not a small change, they emphasize the overall, but also highlight the individual abilities of the stars, their tactics are changeable, whether in offense or defense, they are extremely aggressive.

All in all, in a word, this is a stronger German team!

The players were all whispering, obviously discussing each other. After watching the German team's performance throughout the game, even though they were very confident in themselves, they were not fully sure that they could overwhelm their opponents in the game.

Of course, I believe the same is true for the German team. The two teams are similar in strength and evenly matched, and football matches are full of various factors and accidents. Therefore, which of the two teams is stronger may only be known after the match.

But everyone has a common understanding, that is, if the two teams continue to perform well, they will eventually meet in the next game, maybe the semi-finals?Or maybe the final?

Perhaps at that time, it is the time for the two teams to end the "grievances and hatred" in the European Cup final two years ago!

Of course, thinking about it now is still a bit far away. The top priority for the Spanish team is to survive Portugal in the next duel. After all, the German team has already advanced to the quarterfinals first, and Spain has not yet passed the test. Even if they want to settle their grievances, then You can only do the measurement after you have advanced.

"Okay, let's talk about tomorrow's game."

Bosque turned off the TV, stood in the middle of the conference room, clapped his hands, signaled the players to stop whispering, and then began his arrangement and explanation of tomorrow's game.

"what do you think?"

Under the stage, Casillas touched Fan Bizhuang beside him with his elbow.

"The overall strength is worse than ours, but that guy Cristiano is here, he is a variable, how he will perform in tomorrow's game, I can't say..." Fan Bizhuang smiled, " But don’t worry about him, as long as we play normally, it’s enough.”

Casillas rolled his eyes: "I mean the German team."

"Oh." Fan Bizhuang nodded suddenly, thought for a while, and said, "It's very strong, not worse than us. But don't worry, no one can say for sure how it will be on the field, and maybe you haven't met yet. They, the German team was eliminated by other teams? These things are inconclusive, but now we have not even passed the level of Portugal, just thinking about the next game, will it be too early? "

"That's right." Casillas also nodded, and smiled as he grabbed Fan Bizhuang's shoulders, "I'm not too worried about Portugal. Anyway, you're here. In the competition with that guy Cristiano, you never They all have the upper hand. Tomorrow's match depends on you."

Fan Bizhuang smiled, stopped talking, and listened carefully to the head coach's "teaching" with his teammates.

As for the European side, it occupies three seats, namely the Netherlands, Germany, and the winner between Spain and Portugal.

Because there is only the last suspense in the quarter-finals, the eyes of the whole world are almost cast on the Free State Stadium at this moment.

Due to the natural geographical proximity of the two countries, the relationship has always been very close. In addition, many players in the Portuguese team play in La Liga and are acquaintances with each other. It is also reasonable to ask warmly about the cold and warm.

Fan Bizhuang, who was still the team's starting striker in this game, shook hands with the "acquaintances" of the Portuguese team one by one, and exchanged a few words in a low voice from time to time. In this Portuguese team, there are quite a few teammates in his club. Pei, Coentrao, Ronaldo...
