Chapter 817 Walk to the quarterfinals?
"But the Chinese team has to score a goal, Brazil is 3:0, and Brazil is going to take the first place in the group."
"It's not a good thing to fall to second place in the group?"
Huang Jianxiang expressed concerns about the second place in the group.
"Hehe, not necessarily. Let's see who is the first in the group in Group H. If it is the Japanese team..."
If the Chinese team appears as second in Group C, they will meet the first place in Group H in the sixteen-to-eight match. At present, the most likely top-ranked group in Group H is Japan or Belgium.
"Japan? This... sounds good? If you play with Japan, then the Chinese team has a high probability of entering the quarterfinals."
"So, it is very likely that the Chinese team has not tried their best in this game? Huh..."
Huang Jianxiang seemed to have discovered some conspiracy.
The Chinese team deliberately wanted to get second in the group, and think that the Japanese team would have a high probability of being first in the group?
...
After the change of sides, neither side made any change of players to adjust.
Türkiye still did not give up. After resting for fifteen minutes, their attack became brave again, and the overall formation was quite high.
In the first ten minutes, they were basically attacking, and the Chinese team avoided their edge and was on the defensive.
In the 50th minute, Hassan volleyed his left foot from the top of the penalty area, but was blocked by Ou Chuliang, who was quick to react. Hassan continued to run to take a corner kick, and Fatih nodded and headed the ball to the goal and was obtained by Ou Chuliang.
In the 56th minute, Hassan took a ball from the left side of the penalty area. Ou Chuliang decisively attacked and blocked the ball to the back post, but the ball was not far from the dangerous area. Yumit Davara broke away from Li Yin's defense and rushed to the top!
However, his header hit Sun Xiang, and Sun Xiang calmly handed the ball to Shao Jiayi who was in front of him. Shao Jiayi immediately rubbed the ball over the top to look for Qu Bo, but unfortunately Qu Bo was offside.
While the Turkish army was pressing forward, it also paid great attention to creating offside.
Turkey then took a set ball, and the ball was directly hung into the Chinese team's penalty area. He looked for Hakan Suk again. Hakan Suk headed the ball back to Davara. However, Zheng Zhi grabbed the ball before Davara this time, and was also knocked to the ground by Davara.
The Chinese team returned to the ball, Zheng Zhi kicked the ball back to Ou Chuliang, Hassan rushed up and actually flew towards Ou Chuliang!
As soon as Ou Chuliang kicked the ball out, Hassan was torn to the ground. Ou Chuliang held his right foot and rolled on the turf. Li Weifeng and Fan Zhiyi stopped doing it. He immediately rushed up to question Hassan who had not yet gotten up. Li Weifeng even chopped to the right side of Hassan's body, and it seemed that he really wanted to kick Hassan.
The referee ran over quickly, stopped the two of them, and immediately showed Hassan a yellow card.
The Turks are really anxious and want to get the ball back as soon as possible.
Zhang Zhi wanted to vent his anger to Ou Chuliang, but he didn't dare. He had already received a yellow card when playing against the Brazil team. He didn't dare to cause trouble. He always remembers to play the knockout round...
"Ou Chuliang must not be injured. The Chinese team only brought two goalkeepers. It is said that Zheng Zhi served as the third goalkeeper. In order to free up more places, Horton took this risk."
Fortunately, after a brief treatment, Ou Chuliang stood back in front of the goal and was not injured.
The game resumes.
The Chinese team was still not in a hurry to play in the backcourt. Zheng Zhi controlled the ball in the backcourt, and several people fell back and forth, which made Hakan Suk and Hassan very helpless. Although they fought hard, they still returned in vain.
In the end, they fouled again.
When Zheng Zhi got the ball, Yunsel kicked Zheng Zhi directly with his back, and the referee took out another yellow card.
Zheng Zhi sat on the turf covering his left ankle, but he got angry with Yunsel, but he finally chose to restrain himself.
Türkiye is anxious, but the Chinese team does not need to worry. After getting up again, Zheng Zhi kicked the ball back to Ou Chuliang, and still used the ball control in the backcourt to wipe out Türkiye.
After 70 minutes, Türkiye finally made a substitution adjustment, and Ilhan came up to replace Basturk.
"Ilhan came up, but I heard that he had a little injury, otherwise he should have started in this game. When he played against Brazil in the first round of the group stage, Ilhan passed Carlos with a rainbow move, leaving a deep impression on fans around the world."
"It's Sun Xiang who is facing him now."
After Ilhan came up, the ball was obviously biased towards him. The Chinese team's left-side defensive pressure did not decrease, but instead increased. Bastulk attacked for 70 minutes and now he changed his own person. Of course, that's the case.
So Horton immediately made a relative adjustment and immediately replaced Sun Xiang with Wu Chengying. The opponent made up for the right side, and he made up for the left side, which happened to be the corresponding one.
However, when Ilhan got the ball for the first time, he did not fight Wu Chengying alone, but chose to hand the ball over to Emre in the middle. Emre was plugging the ball to the front right, but Wu Chengying's start was faster than Ilhan, and the ball was kicked back to Ou Chuliang by him.
"It seems that Ilhan is still a little injured? Otherwise, Wu Chengying would have taken the lead in such an easy way."
"The ball is now on Sun Jihai's side. Sun Jihai took two steps to make a wall-to-wall cooperation with Qu Bo, and passes directly!"
"Yang Chen was carried over by Tujiayi! The Chinese team got a chance to set the ball in the frontcourt, and the position was quite good. Zheng Zhi could hit a kick."
"See if Zheng Zhi can use this set ball to score?"
"The Chinese team's offense in this game was tepid and was not excited at all. Are you worried about being injured?"
"Zheng Zhi rarely rushes to the front to attack."
Zheng Zhi walked up slowly, put the ball on the foul spot, and after standing on the position, he kept observing the Turkish man-wall standing.
There are only 6 people invested, and in Zheng Zhi's opinion, there is still a lot of room for shooting.
I guess they all want to fight back, otherwise how could the walls be arranged like this?
When the whistle sounded, Zheng Zhi rushed towards the ball. After swinging his right leg straight, he felt like he was flying.
Right instep!
boom--
Ilhan, who was standing on the far right, instantly shrank, and the ball rushed towards his head like a cannonball, hanging straight to the upper right corner of the goal.
Looking at the fans in the sky, they only felt a flash in front of them, and the ball was already turning in the goal.
"The ball has entered!"
"The ball has entered!"
"The ball has entered!"
"Sure enough! Zheng Zhi!"
"This is just a thunderbolt. The goalkeeper has no reaction at all. No one can do anything. He can only watch the ball fly into the goal."
"The ball speed is amazing. Even I haven't seen the ball's flight route clearly! This speed should be comparable to Carlos."
“1:0!”
"The Chinese team has finally taken the lead, which also means that Türkiye has only theoretical hope. How easy is it for them to score five goals in a row?"
"It can basically be announced that Türkiye is out. Brazil has also been crazy, and it has been 6:0. Kaka, Adriano and Juninho scored three goals in the second half. Brazil has full firepower."
After a long period of time, he was added by the Chinese team. Turkey's enthusiasm was completely lost this time.
Although the Turkish coach kept yelling on the sidelines, his players no longer had the belief to win. Even if there were, no one would think that they could score so many goals?
The trend is over.
For the next ten minutes, they were no longer interested in fighting.
In the end, the Chinese team defeated Türkiye 1-0 at the Seoul Stadium with Zheng Zhi's goal.
The five-star red flag fluttered at the Seoul Stadium, and the Chinese team made another history. It participated in the World Cup for the first time and reached the quarterfinals of the World Cup for the first time.
In the three-game match, two wins and one draw were 7 points, and Brazil also won two wins and one draw, and 7 points were also 7 points, but both the goal difference and the number of goals scored were higher than that of the Chinese team, so the Chinese team could only rank second in the group.
Next, it depends on the results of the H Group match...
Two hours later, the Japanese team lived up to expectations and defeated Tunisia 2-0 at home, while Belgium won Russia 3-2 in the other game.
In this way, the Japanese team successfully won the first place in the group, while Belgium could only rank second in the group.
There is joy in China.
"China VS Japan? Hahaha, there is no better opponent than this. Japan hasn't beat us in 4 years. This is the weakest opponent in the top 16!"
"This is the rhythm of directly leading to the quarterfinals!"
"Brazil probably didn't expect the Chinese team to meet Japan, right? Ahhaha..."
"It's still the Chinese team who has vision, but they just resolutely win second place in the group! Brazil was stunned and thought he could meet Japan, but he didn't expect that he would meet Belgium!"
Although Japan is helpless, I have to admit that this is the result they want. If they don’t take the first place in the group, will they take the second place in the group? So there is no doubt that they work hard to win the first place in the group. They think Brazil must be the first in the group, so they can only compete in the first place in the group and then face China in Asia...
As for another host, South Korea?
The game was quite dramatic. They beat Portugal 1-0 at home, eliminated Portugal and entered the quarterfinals.
Portugal followed the footsteps of France and Argentina and was squeezed out of the World Cup quarterfinals, although they are also one of the hottest teams in the World Cup.
The referee became the most important factor in deciding the game because they actually had two players sent off with red cards.
The golden generation of Portugal is just so jealous of the 2002 World Cup...
The head star Figo criticized the referee mercilessly in front of the media: "If the referee wants to be a star in this game, then he will succeed. We will not make any comments on the referee's performance. I have the same view as head coach Oliveira, that is, we do not agree with the referee's penalty."
Captain Pinto also said angrily, "Look, Italy will also be treated like this! The referee will definitely try to help the South Korean team advance to the quarterfinals!"
However, Italy has not been alerted by Portugal's defeat. They are still immersed in the joy of advancing to the top 16.
After the three-round team battle, the World Cup quarterfinals also surfaced: England, South Korea, Denmark, Brazil, Germany, Belgium, Paraguay, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Ireland, Senegal, the United States, Mexico, Japan, and China.
