794、The Confidence of the Heart
For the Chinese team, the schedule may be a bit unfair.
Because Argentina and Uruguay can get 6 days off after the quarterfinals, while the Chinese team only has 4 days.
However, even the Chinese media, which has always liked to promote tragic colors, did not list this kind of thing as a disadvantage.
Because Long Shute has set the strongest flag:
“Four years ago, due to an accidental injury, I had to leave the game in the second group stage.
If there was no such injury, I and the Chinese team could have reached the quarterfinals at least.
Based on the efficiency of guaranteeing two goals per game, I can at least increase my goals to 12 goals.
Yes, Colombia owes me at least 6 goals, and I will get it back in two days!"

July 7.
Before the quarterfinals between China and Colombia began, the winners were decided in the other three games.
In the duel between two South American teams, Argentina, who was stronger, still had the last laugh. Although Messi did not score directly, he rewritten the situation with two assists.
In Uruguay, although Suarez scored a goal, his forward partner Cavani missed the opportunity three times in a row, so angry that he wanted to bite Colonel Ka's head!
The price of not seizing opportunities is to be eliminated.
Of course, since there have been many tragedies in this World Cup, compared with the previous one, Uruguay lost 1-2 to Argentina, it is not considered a "tragedy" at all...

And in the match between Germany and Poland, the situation was also fierce.
Although Germany and Poland are closely adjacent geographically, there are constant friendships between the people, and there are many relatives between the two teams, such as their assistant coaches Klose and Podolski, both born in Poland, and as international players, there have been many Polish stars in Bayern and Dortmund - such as Lewandowski, Kuba and Piszczek. The relationship between the two players in private can be said to be very close.
But the long-standing historical grievances, especially the two world wars, have made the two countries never politically close as brothers. As wars in peacetime, football has become a stage for them to vent their emotions.
As early as the eve of the two teams in the 2008 European Cup, the Polish media published a photo of Polish coach Ben Hack grabbing German coach Loew with both hands and captain Barack, and the title "German team came to see each other". The intention of insulting and ugliness is obvious, and the hostility between the two sides can be seen...
Although Poland's overall strength is far from comparable to Germany, in a football game that determines the outcome, strength and weakness cannot determine everything.
Poland's defensive counterattack was very tenacious, and it also used one of the few set pieces to create several threats that cannot be ignored in front of the German team's goal.
But the German team is worthy of being the most stable tank. They did not let their neighbors take too much advantage. With Reus, Muller, Werner and Boateng scoring one after another, the final score was frozen at 4-0.
Although Lewandowski is one of the best forwards in the world, he has difficulty in exercising his courage when midfield support is insufficient, so he can only watch the team lose to the opponent who is least willing to lose.

The third game just ended an hour before the Chinese team's warm-up began.
If Croatia, which has a bunch of "strange" people, is still a second-rate team in Europe, then Egypt, located at the junction of Asia and Africa, can only be regarded as an absolute third-rate team. Even in Africa, they cannot be called a mid-to-upstream team. Whether it is the number of stars or overall strength, the Grid Army has a strong advantage.
But the results of the game are hard to accept:
They scored three goals in the first half, and the 3-0 score almost completely killed the suspense. Fans of Croatia are probably celebrating their national team's entry into the semi-finals.
But... for Liverpool players, they are never afraid of falling behind 0-3 in the first half!
In the second half, Salah completed a hat-trick within 6 minutes, pulling both sides back to the same starting line, causing all the broadcasted TV commentators to exclaim:
"It's worthy of being Liverpool's No. 2 thigh!"
Egyptian pharaohs, who had red eyes, were not willing to let the game enter overtime because their lineup was relatively thin.
God said, I want to score a goal.
So, Salah scored his fourth goal in the 83rd minute. He kicked Croatia out of the semi-finals with a super hanging shot of more than 30 meters!
4-3, there was also a big reversal in the World Cup!

"Our next opponent is Egypt, another big gift package."
Assistant coach Chang Sheng shook his head.
Jiang Hua also looked regretful:
"Don't talk about you, even we don't recognize the main players of the Egyptian team..."
Yang Cheng was a little cautious:
"The opponents in the knockout stage are too weak. Will the players underestimate the opponent? You know, the opponents in the finals are either Argentina or Germany, and they are not at the same level as Egypt, right?"
Gao Han patted his shoulder:
"Old Yang, you said that the players underestimate the enemy, you are very arrogant, right? Before the quarter-finals start, you are already imagining the final?"
Yang Cheng shrugged his shoulders and looked at his colleagues with a sincere look:
"Are I... not what I'm telling the truth?"
Li Bing, not far away, turned his head to see Gao Hongbo:
"Lao Gao, I also think... Colombia and Egypt are not our opponents at all!"
Gao Hongbo straightened his chest:
"I came to the World Cup not to prove how great I am as a head coach, but to prove...
As long as there are these players, even if I don’t do anything, even if I tie a dog to sit on the coach’s seat, the Chinese team can sweep the whole world!”
Li Bing couldn't help rolling his eyes:
"Lao Gao, in terms of sacrifice, Chinese football... I only accept you!"
-
While the coaches were chatting, the players were also making final preparations.
"Brother Long, brothers will definitely score six goals for you!"
Chu Zhongtian is representing the whole team assured the captain.
Li Huan and Qin Gude said in unison:
"Yes, just wait for our assists!"
Meng Nan also patted his chest:
"Captain, you can attack in this game with confidence. It's enough to have me alone in defense and interception!"
Long Shute was moved. He was about to express that he would live up to expectations, but he heard Chen Yingxiong pat his shoulder without hesitation:
"You try to score six goals in the first half, and then it's my turn to kill all sides in the second half!"
Long Shute laughed:
"Xiao Chen, don't be too ostentatious in life!
Do you want to experience the horror of not receiving a pass in the entire game?
Chapter completed!
