Uruguay is of course a strong opponent, the South American champion, what is the concept? Those who can step on the shoulders of Brazil and Argentina to ascend to the throne are all strong teams. [point e]
Although Chen Long is not here, Prandelli is still very grateful to him. Without him, there would be no Kaka, Jordan, Shell Bang, Chopper and others, and even Shalawi's level would not be as high. .
Before the start of the war in Italy, England in Group D had taken the lead in a game and defeated Bahrain 2-1. Yes, England even had difficulty winning the Asian team Bahrain. At the same time, Sweden in the same group defeated Bahrain 2-2. The score was tied with Argentina.
Yes, England's group is also like the group of death, at least according to the English.
Don’t forget, Sweden defeated England with a score of 4 to 2 last year, and all four goals were scored by Swedish ball tyrant Ibrahimovic, including a shocking overhead kick outside the penalty area. ... Ibrahimovic, who is lamented as 'Fengxian', is definitely one of the most terrifying forwards on the planet, and he is not among the top five.
The English can even beat Bahrain so badly. What will be the result if they play against Sweden or even Argentina
Argentina is the seeded team player, and England can only be the second seed. Unfortunately, it is with Argentina, its enemy.
It’s not that enemies don’t get together, this is the most realistic portrayal. In the past, they only competed in the knockout rounds, but now they compete in the group stage. The media paid more attention to this pair of enemies than whether Chen Long appeared in the Italian national team.
Of course, the peak showdown between Messi and Ibrahimovic brought Sweden and Argentina to a 2-2 tie, and also paved the way for an even more exciting super showdown between Argentina and England in the final round.
This atmosphere also allowed Prandelli to relax his nerves a little.
Sure enough, when the game against Uruguay started, Chen Long really didn't show up.
But on Italy's substitute list, Chen Long's name is still strangely filled in. It can be seen how much Prandelli is looking forward to Chen Long's return.
However, there is always a gap between reality and ideals...
The Uruguay team with Suarez does pose a threat to Italy, but Uruguay with only Suarez is actually not much different from Liverpool with only him. (Just read the novel--)
According to Prandelli's own idea, that is to despise them strategically and value them tactically...
If Suarez is killed, Uruguay will be dealt with.
There was no danger in front of Italy's goal until the 84th minute of the game, and Suarez completed four shots in the game.
Just when people thought the score would end with a score of 1-0, at the last moment, Barzagli received a yellow card for pulling Suarez and was awarded a penalty kick.
Suarez scored with one touch and turned the score into one to one...
Barzagli chased Suarez after the game and reasoned, which meant that the opponent dived, but Suarez showed a smile as good as Ronaldinho's and didn't say a word.
The meat in the mouth was taken away again, and the poor Italian team could only start with a draw.
This is almost the same as previous World Cup journeys.
Italy has always been a slow team, but the current situation is actually not a big deal...
But subsequent opponents may give them even more headaches.
The competition ended in the first round over the next three days.
France in the top half, Germany, Spain, Netherlands, etc. in the bottom half all got three points as expected and had a good start.
At the beginning of the second round of the group stage, I don’t know if it was agreed upon collectively, but as a result, the strong teams all had draws. This seemed to be very similar to the betting rumors circulating on the Internet.
Many fans began to shout that the second round of the group stage was the most difficult game to buy. If you don't want to die, just buy the ball. As a result, in those days, there were complaints and curses on the Internet every day.
Even the Brazilian team playing at home can get a draw? Thinking about it makes people angry. You know, the opponent of the Brazilian team is South Africa...
Among the players in the same group, Denmark defeated South Korea, and South Korea became the first team to be eliminated. [point e]
Match-fixing! The Brazilian team is cheating! Brazilian players were scolded miserably. Public opinion across Brazil and fans unanimously believed that this was a complete match-fixing!
For a time, Brazil became a team that was likely to be eliminated.
If they lose to Denmark in the final round, it is indeed possible, because if the South Korean team sells balls to the South African team, then everything is possible...
This kind of thing has not happened before on the football field. Italy is a habitual victim of this. Of course, the current host country is Brazil.
Of course, this is all hypothetical.
Italy's opponent in the second round is Japan.
Japan was narrowly defeated by Cristiano Ronaldo's goal in the last round, and now they have no reason to cry defeat against Italy.
As the media said, Japan is now a little Spain, or even a little Brazil. It is not afraid of anyone. But in terms of the national team rankings, Japan's ranking of 29th has scared many countries into cold sweats. Come.
Portugal played Uruguay first, and the score was 2-1.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice, not only leading the scorer list, but also qualifying first as the group leader... The Portuguese team, which played so miserably in the qualifiers, will actually be the first national team to qualify for the World Cup? The bookmakers laughed.
However, the Italian team, which lacks Chen Long, continues to be in a slow and sluggish state...
They really dared to tie Japan one to one...
In this way, after the first two rounds, except for Portugal, which directly qualified, the other three teams have the possibility of qualifying.
After the game, the media spread the rumors again.
"With the deep friendship between Chen Long and Ronaldo, the probability of Portugal letting Italy go in the third round is too, too big..."
Ronaldo immediately responded at the press conference, unless he had a seizure, would he let Italy go? Wouldn't that leave you with the most terrifying opponent for the title? ! No, take advantage of his illness to kill him!
Cristiano Ronaldo waved his captain's armband, talked and sharpened his sword at the press conference.
The later battle between England and Sweden was as expected. England was in a tough fight. After ninety minutes, the team only focused on defending Ibrahimovic. In the end, there was no winner. Zero-to-zero collection, while Argentina reaped the benefits. Messi also scored twice, surpassing Ronaldo by one goal in the scorer list.
The next five group matches continued to maintain this fierce qualifying situation.
After the second round, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, France, Portugal, Mexico, the Czech Republic, Russia, and Belgium have taken the lead...
In the third round, Brazil did not let the upset continue and simply defeated Denmark. Denmark, with a goal difference advantage, joined Brazil in qualifying as second in the group.
Then came the life-and-death battle between Italy and Portugal, but Chen Long still didn't show up...
However, all Italians' mobile phones received his text messages.
"Qualify with your head held high, and see you when you are eliminated!" It's just eight characters, no more, no less.
A text message sent by Chen Long before the war started.
This information was so sudden that it injected the most powerful psychological medicine into the Italians.
In the three weeks since his disappearance, Chen Long finally communicated for the first time, even though it was just a text message.
Sigh... It's not that I don't want to participate in the competition, but... Chen Long checked into a hotel in Brazil just in time for the start of the competition in Italy. At this time, his heart was still filled with ups and downs.
I continued to recuperate in China for two weeks, but I didn't see any improvement.
But Xing Lei has never been called out, as if Xing Lei has never appeared.
Surprisingly, my physical strength is still declining.
Compared with the previous seven minutes, it has now dropped to five and a half minutes. What makes Chen Long even more confused is that Maung seems to have been gradually declining in terms of ball feel in the past few days
If it weren't for the instigation of several ladies, he wouldn't have dared to appear at the World Cup in Brazil.
In the end, under the strong persuasion of Ariel, a relatively high-minded lady, Chenlong still took the overall situation into consideration and came to Brazil, and then there was the previous text message.
Cristiano Ronaldo's idea was beautiful, but it just hit the point of a gun.
The Italian team, which had regained its morale, did not take Portugal seriously at all.
In fact, Portugal rarely takes advantage of the Italians in major competitions.
With a score of 2.0, Italy finally qualified as second in the group. It was quite thrilling to qualify with a goal difference and did not repeat the mistake of being eliminated.
Ronaldo tried hard enough, but still couldn't stop Italy. After the game, he even yelled at the organizing committee to check whether the Italians had taken doping.
He was also quite unlucky. After one game, he actually kicked three goalposts. As long as he kicked this random kick in, he could at least tie Messi's goal, right? The result was no... that's all, Italy actually qualified. Everyone knows what Italy's appearance means.
After the game, Messi, Ronaldo and Neymar also sent special text messages to Ronaldo. The content of the text messages was nothing more than blaming and ridiculing Ronaldo for not killing the Italian team without Chen Long...
Of course he was wronged, you know the goalposts of his three religions...
However, Messi's ridicule did not last long, and the ensuing war between Britain and Afghanistan became a new topic.
Whoever wins will qualify! A draw means elimination…
Of course, this is just a prediction.
No one wants to entrust their fate to their opponents.
Rooney and Messi don't believe that Ibrahimovic's Swedish team will not be able to win Bahrain, unless there is a collective convulsion...
So, in fact, you have to win to qualify!
Both Rooney and Messi are tragic figures.
It’s hard to make a difference in the club, but it’s been hard to make any achievements in the national team for so many years. It’s hard to wait until this World Cup to kick off and score three or four goals, but in the end, you still have to struggle to qualify...
To paraphrase Cristiano Ronaldo's joke, this is all fate...
