Chapter 1193 The limit of the Chinese team
Relying on Yang Yang's world wave lore at the last moment, the Chinese team narrowly beat Greece 2-[-], and then with a record of [-] wins and [-] loss in three group matches, followed by Colombia, they qualified as No.[-] in the group.
This has aroused heated discussions and praises at home and abroad, especially for Yang Yang's performance in the group stage.
Three goals and one assist in three games, Yang Yang created all the goals of the Chinese team in the group stage, so that some media believed that Yang Yang was alone dragging the train of the Chinese team on the track of the World Cup.
Even the media in Greece generally only mentioned the defense of the Chinese team after the game, pointing to two players, one is Zheng Zhi with a red card, thinking that if Zheng Zhi's red card foul at a critical moment, the Chinese team might have lost the game long ago.
The other player is Yang Yang. At the critical moment, he played a [-]v[-] lore and played very beautifully, fully reflecting the strength and value of the world's top superstars. Even Greece, the opponent, had to feel admiration.
As the only team in Asia that won the World Cup group stage and also qualified from the group stage, the AFC highly praised the Chinese team on its official website, believing that the Chinese team played the highest level of competition in Asia in the World Cup.
Domestic public opinion is also boiling. The media and fans are basically satisfied with the performance of the national team in this World Cup. They think that it is really not easy to stand out from the group stage.
Needless to say Colombia's strength, Greece and Côte d'Ivoire are also very strong teams. Although these three opponents are not particularly well-known, they are not considered traditional strong teams, but their abilities are beyond doubt.
It is really impressive that the Chinese team can stand out from the encirclement of these three teams.
Yang Yang is undoubtedly the player who has received the most praise. He alone created all the goals of the Chinese team and is definitely the undoubted hero of the national team.

When the Chinese team defeated Greece with difficulty and successfully advanced to the top [-], the World Cup group stage also ended one after another.
Brazil, the host of Group A, performed well. Although they drew with Mexico [-]-[-] in the second match, they defeated Croatia [-]-[-] and Cameroon [-]-[-]. Both victories brought Brazil acclaim. The core player Neymar received rave reviews and was hailed as the number one favorite to win the World Cup.
If Brazil is hot, Spain is cold.
Before the game, no one would have imagined that Spain, which has won three international championships in a row, would encounter such humiliation in the World Cup in Brazil. It lost [-]-[-] to Louis van Gaal's Dutch team in the first game, and lost [-]-[-] to Chile in the second game. The defending champion was criticized in two defeats.
In the last battle, although Spain defeated Australia [-]-[-] and saved a little face, everyone could see that the old Spanish control dynasty had long since faded away.
On the contrary, Van Gaal's Dutch team, with three victories and three victories in the group stage, made it to the top [-] all the way. Chile also won two and lost one, and reached the top [-] with the second place in the group.
The tragic elimination of Spain has once again triggered heated discussions among the media and fans around the world. There has been heated discussion outside the world about whether ball control football is obsolete.
On the contrary, like Real Madrid, they have stronger adaptability, more diverse tactical methods, coupled with strong financial backing, and the club's excellent signing ability, enabling the team to maintain a strong competitiveness.
Therefore, what should really be discussed is not whether transmission control is outdated, but how to combine its own characteristics and make good use of transmission control.
To put it bluntly, the essence of football is passing and controlling the ball.
……
There is another eye-popping upset in this World Cup group stage, and that is Group D.
The four teams in Group D are Italy, England, Uruguay and Costa Rica.
According to the pre-match guesses, Costa Rica is undoubtedly a team that can be slaughtered, and this team does not seem to want to perform, so the pre-match warm-up match arrangement is not targeted, including a game against the Chinese team, and lost to the Chinese team without Yang Yang.
Surprisingly, in the first match of the group stage, Costa Rica scored three goals in a row after conceding one goal first, and reversed Uruguay [-]-[-].
The second game was another upset, with Ruiz scoring near the end of the first half, beating Italy [-]-[-].
In the final battle, Costa Rica drew [-]-[-] with England.
In the three group matches, they had two wins and one tie to remain unbeaten. Their record was quite amazing, and they even won the first place in the group and advanced.
This shocked the whole world. Goalkeeper Keylor Navas is the most outstanding and eye-catching player in Costa Rica, but what everyone is more concerned about is that Uruguay, Italy and England, the three traditional strong teams, performed so sluggishly.
Especially England, with three games, one draw and two losses, such a result is really a bit underwhelming.
The British media is also wailing, and the talk about the excessive strength of the Premier League and the dragging down of the national team has also begun to blare, but the reason is that English football is now a bit weak.
The older generation of players such as Beckham, Lampard, Gerrard and Ferdinand are getting old, but the new generation of players has not yet been able to take over, or their performance is not satisfactory, meeting the expectations of the outside world for this team.
The Premier League is indeed running in a hurry, but the level of English football, especially the level of youth training, is indeed still insufficient.
It is worth mentioning that Portugal, led by Cristiano Ronaldo, also suffered a serious blow in this World Cup. In the first game, they lost to the German team [-]-[-], followed by a [-]-[-] draw with the United States. Although they defeated Ghana [-]-[-] in the final game, they still failed to qualify for the group stage.
In fact, Cristiano Ronaldo's performance was not bad. Although he suffered a disastrous defeat in the first game, he gave an excellent assist in the second game, and he performed very well in the third game.
However, Portugal's overall downturn, especially the [-]-[-] defeat to Germany in the first game, even depleted the team's morale, and ultimately failed to stay on the stage of the World Cup.
……
Analyzing the group stage of this World Cup, all the media generally believe that the individual talents of the stars, especially the individual performance of the core players, completely dominate the game, and the most typical ones are Yang Yang of the Chinese team, Lionel Messi of Argentina and Neymar of Brazil.
The German Kicker magazine concluded and analyzed that the land of Brazil has always attached great importance to the individual talents of players, focusing on the ornamental performance of stars, and the same is true in this World Cup, that is, the importance of players' personal brilliance exceeds the team tactics itself.
The German magazine believes that Yang Yang alone created four goals for the Chinese team, three shots and one pass, leading this underdog from Asia to the round of [-], and may even go one step further, because according to the rules formulated before the game, their opponent in the round of [-] is Costa Rica.
"In the warm-up match before the World Cup, the Chinese team without Yang Yang defeated Costa Rica [-]-[-], which made people see that the Chinese team has the potential to beat this North American dark horse."
The reason why Costa Rica was able to meet the second-ranked Chinese team in the group is that the stars of Uruguay, Italy and England were all in a collective downturn, which allowed Costa Rica to take advantage of the trend and take the first place in the group.
"Even God is helping the Chinese team, helping Yang Yang!" the German magazine lamented.
Kicker magazine believes that there is another statistic that can reflect the effect of a player's personal ability on the game, and that is the number of goals scored.
So far in this World Cup, each team has played three games, but Argentina's Messi and Brazil's Neymar scored four goals in three games. Among them, Messi also had a world wave lore in the final stoppage time.
Yang Yang of the Chinese team also scored three goals in three games, two of which were also very beautiful world waves.
Kicker magazine also believes that since the beginning of the new century, especially after Greece miraculously won the European Cup in [-], overall football has been increasingly valued. Even after Guardiola's Barcelona set off a pass control storm, due to the extremely high implementation threshold, it cannot be popularized at all. All European teams still attach importance to integrity.
But in this World Cup, several strong European teams have reached a point where they put too much emphasis on the whole and seriously lack the individual performance of the players, such as Spain. Without the flashes of individual talents of the players to change the situation in the local area and bring about changes in the overall situation, even against weaker opponents, it is difficult to win.
Kicker magazine also focused on Queiroz's transformation of the Chinese team. He believes that the Portuguese has inherited the foundation left by the Dutchman Alihan in the past four years, further consolidated the overall football of the Chinese team, and paid close attention to defense. On the offensive end, Queiroz relies heavily on the performance of core player Yang Yang.
"Without Yang Yang, the Chinese team is an Asian team, but with Yang Yang, the Chinese team has completely transformed."
As for the Chinese team that advanced to the top [-], Kicker magazine believes that as long as Yang Yang plays normally, it is very hopeful to lead the team to defeat Costa Rica.
"Yang Yang made his debut in the Netherlands. His friends Sneijder, Robben, van der Vaart and others are all in the current Dutch national team, and they also met in the World Youth Championship. The head coach Van Gaal and Yang Yang are old friends. If the Chinese team can really advance to the quarter-finals and meet the Netherlands, it will be quite interesting."
As for the collision between Yang Yang and Messi, which is widely concerned by the outside world, it will have to wait until the semi-finals. Kicker magazine believes that this is basically unlikely to happen, because the overall strength of the Dutch team is better than that of the Chinese team.
"The top eight should be the limit of this Chinese team!"
