After the first round of the group stage, the Chinese team defeated Côte d'Ivoire 3-1, which made 1.3 billion Chinese people happy, but it was not the most topical game around the world.

The Chinese team is no longer the Chinese team four years ago. They have been in the top 30 in the FIFA ranking for a long time, and even squeezed into the top 20 for a time. Under the leadership of Long Shute, they also won the Asian Cup and Federation Cup championships. Although most players are still not very famous, the world football world no longer regards them as a bottom team.

As long as such a team is properly tactical and united, it will not be too surprising to defeat Ivory Coast. After all,... African teams seem to have nothing worth boasting about except their bodies.

What really made everyone confused was the strong competition in Group B:

The defending champion, the real overlord of the world football world in the past eight years, the Bullfighter Legion... Spain lost 1-5 to their losers, the runner-up of the last World Cup, the Tulip Legion... The Netherlands!

Spain's start was actually very smooth. They received a penalty kick based on Diego Costa's fake fall.

Xavi Alonso achieved it overnight, and the Spanish soldiers were obviously full of confidence.

The pace of the game was always firmly under the feet of Spanish players, but their advantage was not brought into the locker room at the halftime break.

In the 44th minute, the Netherlands made a long pass from the wing. Van Persie, who had not performed well, alertly counterattacked, and then used a fish jump from the penalty area line to "hang" the ball into Spain's goal!

This extremely long-distance header will undoubtedly become a classic goal in this World Cup, full of imagination, artistic beauty, and good luck. Long Shute's three goals pale in front of General Fan's wonderful header.

Although the Netherlands equalized the score, they are actually not as good as Spain in terms of overall strength and personal ability of the players. Especially the reserve force of the Tulips Army, which seems even more shabby in the face of Spain, where talented players are emerging one after another.

The starting lineup of the Bullfighters is of course very star-studded. Even the bench is sitting on the bench, Torres, Fabregas, De Gea, Reina, Mata, Pedro, Villa, and Xavi Martinez. The 11 starting players in the Netherlands... What people can recognize is nothing more than four people over 30 years old, Van Persie, Sneider, Robben and De Jong!

It was just relying on these old guys that Holland suddenly went crazy in the second half!

In the 53rd minute, Blinder (long Shute's old teammate) made a long pass from the left to the right, and Robben scored a signature inward cut shot, 2-1!

Ten minutes later, Sneider dropped a free kick into the penalty area, and Devry topped the ball into the goal net in a mess, 3-1!

In the 72nd minute, Pique passed the goalkeeper back, Casillas stopped the ball three meters away, and Van Persie accelerated the ball and successfully intercepted the ball without any politeness. He accepted the gift with a smile, 4-1!

——Reality is sometimes more unimaginable than novels. Who can believe that St. Cassi will slip without anyone disturbing her?!

The Netherlands, who led three goals, still had no intention of stopping. In the 80th minute, Sneider made a straight pass in the backcourt. Robben ran 60 meters and then broke into the penalty area. Facing the busy Casillas, the old flying man turned around and flashed a gap with an extremely slow protective ball, and then rushed into the goal without hesitation!

5-1!

Of course, some people predicted that the Netherlands could take revenge on Spain before the game, but no one could have thought that it would be such a bloody score!

After all...Xavi, Iniesta, Alonso, Busquets, Pique, Ramos and other main players are still in their prime, and Diego Costa, the Atletico Madrid striker, joined strongly. Everyone thought their offensive firepower would be further strengthened, but unexpectedly, the only goal in the game actually came from a fake fall!

When Cassie's face showed a look of despair, he knew that his time was over.

In the past two seasons, both Mourinho and Ancelotti have placed him on the bench. If he can prove that he is still the omnipotent Saint Cassi in this World Cup, perhaps after returning to the club, he can still use his remaining power to compete with the head coach, but this game has caused him to fall into the world and never have the power to turn the world back!

He suddenly began to envy the other goalkeeper.

Why can Buffon, who is old, firmly take the top spot in Juventus and the Italian national team?

He is not Juventus’ youth training yet!

Compared to the Netherlands' 5-1 massacre of Spain, the results of other games are not as shocking as the results of the United States.

Germany beat Portugal 4-0, France swept Honduras 3-0, Italy defeated England 2-1, Uruguay defeated Costa Rica 1-3, and Argentina defeated Bosnia and Herzegovina 2-1... These games cannot be compared with Jose's battle.

Perhaps the only thing that can make people slightly divert their attention is that the King of Messi scored his second goal in the World Cup after 8 years. Messi, who scored a key goal, ran all the way and roared with uncontrollable passion, exhaling his depressed spirit for many years.

According to post-match statistics, in order to win the game, Messi's running distance was as high as 8169 meters. Compared with the league championship battle against Atletico Madrid, he ran 1,300 meters more!

Oh, Long Shute is 13,208 meters, because almost all the game is defending, his data is much lower than before...

In fact, Long Shute doesn’t understand why Messi struggled to play in the national team?

You want to say they are not united?

But Mascherano, Di Maria, Aguero, Higuain, Ravic, Romero, Gago, Zabaleta, and Gare are almost all his old teammates who won the Olympic Championship in 2008, and most of them are teammates from the World Youth Championship earlier. Not only do they know each other well, but their sense of tacit understanding is difficult to compare with other teams. Why can't they feel these things in their games?

Long Shute occasionally wonders, if he leads these Argentine players himself, will he be able to win the championship in every minute?

-

Leading Argentina... that is impossible, so Long Shute still focuses more on studying the next opponent.

He has now fully fulfilled his duties as a head coach, and almost all the work of deploying troops is completed by him with the cooperation of several assistant coaches.

The second round of group stage was five days later, and the opponent was South American powerhouse Colombia.

Just like their eighth ranking in the world, Colombia has been rising rapidly in recent years. In 2011, their FIFA ranking was still around 40. By 2013, they had already reached the top ten, and for a while even ranked third, second only to Germany and Argentina.

Their head coach is Pekelman, who once coached Argentina. In this Colombian team, a group of players represented by the "tigers" Falcao, Guarin, Cuadrado, Moreno, Zapata, Zuniga, J Rodriguez and J Martinez are also gathered. Most of them play in mainstream clubs in mainstream European leagues, and are probably one level stronger than Côte d'Ivoire.

Although the main striker Falcao was unable to play, Long Shute still did not dare to be careless.

He also hopes to give the main players a few days off after defeating Colombia, and let those substitutes have a sense of presence in the third group match!
