1257 Qualifying situation

If Situ Yunbing pinned his hope of defeating Belgium on Guo Xuantu, who was just 18 years old, then he must be crazy!

The purpose of Guo Xuantu is to deter Belgium. On the one hand, Wu Lei really can't run anymore, and on the other hand, Belgium's offensive has continued to rise before that. Based on all factors, the Chinese team wants to give Belgium some threat signals.

Martinez has lost to Situ Yunbing many times, so he is naturally a little afraid. You should know that Belgium cannot win this game and Belgium's loss has a completely different meaning.

From reality, if you lose this game, Belgium will have a chance to qualify in the last game, but it will inevitably lose the advantage of the strategic commanding heights.

But if the draw is tied, the final round of the match against Nigeria will basically be unbeaten and can advance to the top 16.

The Chinese team is actually the same!

Therefore, the best result for this game against the two teams is certainly a victory, but the actual interests that can be accepted without taking risks is the minimum draw.

After Belgium slowed down, Martinez never saw what Guo Xuantu had. The key point was that the Chinese team basically did not create opportunities for Guo Xuantu. Zhao Fenghua and Huang Bozhou controlled the midfield and would never look at the frontcourt without passing the ball forward.

Guo Xuantu is ready to perform offside at any time, but he can also suppress the Belgian formation retracement.

The rhythm has dropped, and the confrontation has also dropped. The physical fitness of some veterans in Belgium who are over 30 years old has also declined significantly. Martinez carefully made substitutions, and time has been passing by minute by minute.

The atmosphere in the Sports City Stadium is gradually dominated by Chinese fans!

Of course, Belgian fans are not satisfied with a draw, but Chinese fans are satisfied with the current score.

Although he did not lead Belgium, he did not fall behind.

When the game entered injury stoppage time, Martinez looked depressed.

He finally understood that Guo Xuantu was just a cover, not a killer move from the Chinese team, but a chess piece used by Situ Yunbing to intimidate Belgium.

Guo Xuantu was even more depressed on the court and ran hard for more than ten minutes. But he didn't even touch the ball twice, to be precise, just once, and then he was intercepted.

This is not his dream World Cup debut.

The whistle sounded at the end of the game. Although Situ Yunbing did not smile as much as he had in the previous game, his face was much more relaxed.

He walked to shake hands with Martinez after the match, and when the two looked at each other, they were tacitly informed.

"The second round of the Qatar World Cup Group C group stage Chinese team matched Belgium. After 90 minutes of battle, the Chinese team tied with Belgium with a 1-1 draw. The Chinese team won the lead in the first half by Luo Cheng, and Belgian midfielder De Bruyne scored a direct free kick in the middle of the second half to tie the score for Belgium.

Most of the time of the game, the Chinese team is facing the test of Belgian offense, but our defense does not give our opponents much chance!

Although the Chinese team conceded goals in two consecutive World Cup group matches, we conceded two goals in the first game and we conceded one goal today, this is the World Cup. We can set a record of zero conceded goals in the Copa America and also set a record of zero conceded goals in the World Cup qualifiers. But in the World Cup, whether it is pressure or the opponent becomes stronger, our defense is not impeccable!

But at the same time, there is also a positive side. Today, we can also break through the opponent's goal against a world-class team like Belgium. There are not many opportunities. It can even be said that there is only one chance in the whole game, and there is only one chance, but we scored a goal, and there is no more convincing performance than this!

We cannot be overly optimistic about the future, but there is no need to be pessimistic.

Now the Chinese team has 4 points with Belgium. No matter what the result is in Nigeria and Peru in another game, the Chinese team is still the first in the group before the last round!

In the next round, we will play Peru, and what awaits us may be a life-and-death battle!

I am full of confidence in the Chinese team because the team's temperament on the field makes us full of hope for the future!”

Chinese players shook hands with Belgian players after the game, and some players exchanged jerseys.

Situ Yunbing smiled when attending the post-match interview, not depressed at all by a draw.

When the reporter asked him if he was satisfied with the result, Situ Yunbing smiled and said, "We led the game for about 30 minutes, but finally got a draw. I think this result is acceptable and satisfied by the Chinese team. We did not create many opportunities in front of Belgium, which must be admitted, but at the same time we also restricted Belgium for most of the time.

To be realistic, after the Chinese team played two rounds of group stage, we were actually the top of this group. I think there is no better result than this. It is not realistic to expect to win all the two games to advance to the top 16 early."

The reporter then asked him how he evaluated Belgium's performance. Situ Yun still kept smiling and said: "If you look at the data, Belgium has the advantage in the whole game. They are indeed not lucky if they failed to meet the game today.

However, in terms of technology, comprehensive team creativity, team confrontation, etc., it is obvious that Belgium has very strong strength.

Even if they were tied by the Chinese team today, Belgium is still a favorite to win the championship, and there is no doubt about this!”

Situ Yunbing is still very low-key. He doesn't want the media to pay special attention to the Chinese team now.

Looking ahead to the last group match, Situ Yunbing said seriously: "We are at least one draw away from qualifying in the group, so we have no reason or room to relax. Now we need to go back to the hotel for team recovery and then prepare for the next game against Peru."

In comparison, Martinez's tone was a little bitter when he was interviewed after the game.

"We missed the opportunity to win the game. I must admit that we performed a little cautiously in this game, but there is nothing we can do about it. The opponent is the Chinese team, a team that doesn't sound strong, and a traditional strong team should get three points on them, but when their coach is Situ Yunbing, you can't be careless.

Compared to the regret of the draw, I don’t want to taste the pain of losing.

As far as I know, Situ Yunbing has never lost a key battle in the main competition since coaching the Chinese team.

Even if Brazil has the advantage of home, it has not been able to defeat the Chinese team in the Copa America final. Instead, it was defeated by the Chinese team, so I think the draw is an uncomfortable but not painful result.

At the same time, I think the positive significance of this game is that it will make us more alert earlier!

There will be a lot of experience we need to summarize in this game, which will help us improve.”

Martinez was not strong anyway, so he gave himself a step first and gave the scandal of Brazil losing the Copa America championship at home, which really left the media with nothing to say.

The Chinese team's draw in Belgium has made fans across the country look forward to the team's successful advance to the top 16 of the World Cup!

The Chinese team has broken through history and set new records for many Chinese national teams in the World Cup in two games.

The most goals scored in a single game!

First win!

The highest points!

The players who scored the most goals in the World Cup, etc.

And every small step forward will be a big step for Chinese football in the history of the World Cup!

After Situ Yunbing led the team back to the hotel, he asked the team to rest early, but the players applied to watch the game between Peru and Nigeria together.

Situ Yunbing thought about it and since everyone was very enthusiastic, there was no need to be too rigid.

We organized everyone to watch the game later.

The Nigerian team and Peru team are fighting a life-and-death battle!

The losing side will bid farewell to the World Cup one round ahead of schedule, and only the winners have the chance to break through the siege and advance to the top 16.

Three years ago, Situ Yunbing led his team to fight Peru in the Copa America. The Peru team coach is still Gareca. The latter team has matured a lot in recent years, but if it is more than the increase, it is definitely not as big as the Chinese team. It is no exaggeration to say that in the past four years, the Chinese team's improvement has been the largest in the world!

Therefore, Situ Yunbing is actually not so nervous about the last round of Peru, and he will not scare himself.

In particular, the Chinese team definitely has a strategic commanding height.

If Peru loses to Nigeria today, then Peru is eliminated early, and the Chinese team can make a fuss in the last round. If Peru wins, then Peru must defeat the Chinese team in the last round to advance, and the Chinese team can still play the opponent's backhand!

So Situ Yunbing himself was not very concerned about this game, but since the team was in high spirits, I would like to watch the game with them.

Nigeria and Peru played a game that was absolutely thrust into their best efforts. Both teams were running overloaded, striving to defeat their opponents and gain a glimmer of hope to qualify.

The result was contrary to expectations. After 90 minutes of fierce fighting, the score was 2:2.

This is a bit like losing both sides.

The situation in this group became very interesting.

The Chinese team, 4 points, 2 goals, and 5 goals.

Belgium, with 4 points, 2 goals, and 3 goals.

Nigeria, 1 point, goal difference -2, and 4 goals.

Peru, 1 point, goal difference -2, and 2 goals.

This means that the situation of qualifying in the last round of this group will be very strange.

Theoretically, both the Chinese and Belgian teams may be eliminated!

Because once Peru and Nigeria defeated China and Belgium in the final group stage, the points of the four teams will be the same 4 points!

At that time, it will become an arithmetic problem that makes the scalp numb and brain-exploding!
