Chapter 567 Top 16 Released

At the start of the game, the England team immediately increased their speed and launched a high press in the Nigerian team's half, which caught the Nigerian players a little off guard.

The conditions for the England team to take the first place in the group are not harsh. Argentina and Sweden only have 3 points.The England team has already qualified for the group ahead of schedule, and only needs to draw in the final round to ensure the first place in the group.

So the Nigerian team thought that the England team would probably focus on control. Unexpectedly, Gerrard and Bart seemed to have never won, and they would attack the players when they came up.

I lost all the first two rounds, and I didn't deliberately adjust my biological clock. Now I am in a state of wanting to sleep.It was impossible for the England team to miss such an opportunity, and they quickly got an offensive opportunity by counter-robbing in the frontcourt.

In the 13th minute, Gerrard and McManaman grabbed the Nigerian captain Okocha and sent the other side flying.

Gerrard knocked the man away, McManaman immediately passed to Bart, who adjusted and immediately passed to his future uncle.

Beckham took the ball and paused for a while, then slid the ball forward 10 meters. The defender turned around and almost suffered from hypoxia in his brain, and was thrown away by the heartthrob.

Both Husky and Vassell looked for space like crazy, and the Nigerian defenders took a slow beat as a whole and threw them away in an instant.

Both of them are very aggressive and can pass. Beckham decisively passed to Husky, and the Nigerian team's defenders have already been touched by him. Giving him is equivalent to no defense.

Beckham puts more power on his calf and the ball finds Husky precisely.

The tacit understanding formed between the two during their time at Manchester United played a huge role at this moment. The number one goalkeeper in England jumped high and made a full head shake.

The football was smashed into the bottom left corner of the goal and England quickly established their lead.

1 is better than 0!

Husky ran over with a smile and gave Beckham a wet hug.Other teammates also ran up, surrounded by heartthrobs.

Beckham patted the backs of his teammates, all sweating, and it seemed that they hadn't fished.

Although it's a bit disgusting, football is like this, at least it proves that everyone ran hard for 10 minutes.

The Nigerian players were already depressed, and they were even more confused when they were robbed at the beginning.

In the 21st minute, the England team scored another point, and Beckham sent another assist. He swept the ball down the penalty area at the moment Vassell was about to run into the neutral position, and Vassell hit the ball into the goal with his calf.

2 is better than 0!

Wasser ecstatically rushed to Beckham's side, seemingly wanting to jump into his arms, but at the last moment, his head finally came to light, and he and the heartthrob had a quick hug.

In the dressing room, the English players who held a two-goal lead were all giggling, and everyone looked like they were mentally handicapped.

You must know that in a major competition like the World Cup, it is normal for substitute players to watch the game on the bench.Half of the players worked hard for two months, in fact, they fought for a chance to watch the game in the audience.

Despite this, many players still enjoy it, as long as they are still in the World Cup, they will have opportunities.

In such a stadium, the experience of playing a ball is better than dozens of club games.

But the pressure of the World Cup is not ordinary. The experience of winning or losing is just like a roller coaster.

Take Italy as an example. They defeated Ecuador in the first game, looking like a big football country.But after losing to Croatia in the second game, the whole team was facing an abyss, and Trapattoni's face changed at the press conference.

I heard that Italian reporters have been listless for the past two days. Their national team will face Mexico, which has won both games, in the final round, while Croatia will face Ecuador, which Italy has won. The Azzurri once again entered the brink of elimination.

At the end of the first two rounds of the group stage, only Brazil, Mexico and England are basically guaranteed to qualify, and the other teams have already become a mess.

The Brazilian team defeated the Turkish team by luck, and the pass and match are nonsense. Their task now is to run the lineup, even if they rotate.

The Mexican team stepped on the face of the Croatian team and raised the banner of qualifying, but they have no foundation, and the gap between the main force and the substitute is not small.In the last round, they will encounter Italy, which is desperately trying to survive. If they lose to Italy by a big score, or Croatia beats Ecuador in an extreme situation, they may also be eliminated by 6 points.

The England team has become the only team in this World Cup that has substantially rotated its lineup.

With a big lead at halftime, the satisfaction of the substitute has reached the ceiling of the locker room, and the morale of the team has risen again.

The substitute players have realized their self-worth. Everyone has worked hard for the World Cup, but the division of labor is different!
The World Cup is an extreme stage, where winners take all and losers are scandalized.If you can't achieve the expected results, being eliminated is just the beginning of the disaster.Substitutes will not be affected in their own interests.When threatening, expose all the negative events of the team.

There are many reasons for this kind of thing, but the root cause is that the substitute players do not have a sense of identity, and it is fine for the team to achieve good results.Once the team's performance is not satisfactory, what is said is naturally negative.

Today's locker room belongs to the substitute players. The substitute players who have been "well-behaved" before are bragging in the locker room. Vassell is complaining about the Nigerian central defender dozing off. McManaman is breaking down his extraordinary deeds and telling Brown.

In the locker room not far away, the spirits of the Nigerian players came up, because they had enough sleep on the court.

But everyone's mood is not high, kneeling in the first two games, and trailing by 2 goals in the last round. Are you working hard now to prepare for four years later?
Don't be ridiculous, whether you can live another four years is a problem
At the beginning of the second half of the game, the Nigerian players began to let themselves go, and they wanted to dominate the whole field with the ball.This is called the fate of not having a ball king, and suffering from a super-giant disease.

Their behavior of letting go of themselves was chased and intercepted by Gerrard and Butt, and Nigerian players who pinched the ball in England's midfield could be seen everywhere in the midfield.

Beckham's job in the second half was very simple. He took the ball and moved it to a place where no one was around, and let the passionate substitutes do the tossing.

The defensive players are also very cooperative, as long as he doesn't overpower the opponent, the opponent doesn't come to play him, and even reached a certain degree of tacit understanding.

But Beckham is a super giant who can stand up and play football. The defenders don't care about him. He can win the World Footballer of the Year.

In the 55th minute, Husky scored another goal after receiving a cross from Beckham.

3 is better than 0!

The substitute players of the England team celebrated crazily. Beckham celebrated very restrainedly. The Nigerian players were expressionless.

After 65 minutes, the coaching staff replaced Vassell with Shearer and Gerrard with Hargreaves. Beckham suddenly found that he seemed to have no one to replace.

In fact, for a long time, England's best right-wing player was McManaman. This guy was actually very slick on the right, but he also played slick on the left, which prevented him from appearing in his best position.

At that time, both the England and Liverpool teams lacked left midfielders, so Spicy could only play on the left most days.

If the coaching staff needs to replace themselves, then McManaman should be the No. 1 choice.Over the years, everyone has complained that his level has dropped too fast, but he can still do well when it comes to the national arena.

In the 71st minute, Okocha was swept down by Hargreaves in a single row outside the penalty area. He lay on the ground and passed the ball to Kanu.

3:1.

Seeing this scene, Beckham was also very speechless. Kanu's lob shot is definitely the crystallization of getting along with Seaman in Arsenal day and night.

I don't know if other teams will be inspired by this ball. Anyway, I heard from Old John that Ronaldinho hanged Seaman in this World Cup.

It can only be said that the second-generation big die is sensitive to observation, and the style of the game is also extremely flamboyant.

In fact, Beckham has long seen that Seaman's jumping ability and movement are not good enough, and he has always wanted to drown the "old man" once in the game.

But it is very dangerous to do that. If everyone has used Seaman to play lobs these years, Beckham is afraid that Seaman will retire before he can survive, and that will make the World Cup plan more difficult.

After conceding the goal, Seaman pretended nothing had happened, feeling that the goal was like a misjudgment.

The goal of the Nigerian team aroused Shearer's fighting spirit. He singled the Nigerian central defender in a row, knocked the opponent away twice, and missed the goal twice.

Beckham was also very surprised. This old boy really didn't even want face in order to score goals.

Hiller's singles moves are simply unreasonable. He uses his confrontational ability to knock his opponent away the moment he catches the ball, and then slams his kick at the landing point.

It feels like I learned from Sweden's Larbeck, and the Nigerian team's central defender can't hit him, and Shearer can be regarded as living and learning.

In the 81st minute, Shearer finally hit the defender and pulled him backhand, penalty kick!

This time Shearer didn't discuss with Beckham, and took the penalty directly to the penalty spot.

Run up, volley, goal!

Shearer scored his third goal in the World Cup, and the peasant celebration reappeared.

Seeing Shearer jumping around happily, Beckham could only smile helplessly.He only scored 3 goal in 1 group games, and 2 penalty kicks were taken away by Shearer.

Fortunately, with 6 assists, the World Footballer's signature can still stand up.

The England team finally defeated the Nigeria team 4-1, won all 3 games in the group stage, and qualified first in the group.

England scored 3 goals in 10 games and conceded 2 goals.Both data are good, but neither is No.1.

In terms of offense, Germany ranks No. 8 among all 11 teams with 32 goals, thanks to 1 goals against Saudi Arabia.But they only scored 3 goals against Ireland and Cameroon, which is a typical example of bullying.

The Brazilian team has 2 big players and scored 3 goals in 11 games, but like the German team, it doesn't have much reference value.

On the contrary, the efficiency of the England team averaging more than 3 goals per game in the death group is really amazing.You must know that the Swedish team is notoriously tough, and few people can take advantage of them.

Not to mention the Argentine team, a two-star world-class team, is the favorite to win every competition.

The Nigerian team is also very strong. They sent the Matador home in the last World Cup group stage. The main lineup of this game is the wave of players who won the Olympic champions in 96. Their strength has increased compared with four years ago.

With such a strong lineup, there is still nothing to say about losing against the England team.

In terms of goals conceded, Germany, Denmark, Bangzi and Benzi only conceded 1 goal, which is not bad.

The group stage came to an end one after another. The French team lost 0-2 to the Danish team in the last round of life-and-death battle.

Denmark has 2 wins and 1 draw with 7 points, Senegal has 1 win and 2 draws with 5 points, and together they qualify from Group A, making France the first defending champion who cannot qualify for the group stage since the World Cup. The humiliation reveals a little black romance.

In Group B, the Spanish team won all three games and continued the momentum of the qualifiers to the group stage. The Matador Legion is looking for a way to the world championship, but it is still at the stage of the foolish boy bumping his head into the urinal.

Paraguay squeezed out the South African team with a goal difference advantage, and entered the knockout round for two consecutive World Cups.

In Group C, the Brazilian team won all three games and won No.1 in the group, but it really doesn't look like a champion.In the last round of the group stage, they played against the Costa Rica team and won 5-2 only by virtue of the star's ability to seize the opportunity.What is intriguing is that the Costa Rica team got several good scoring opportunities on them.

As long as Costa Rica has a decent striker, the Brazilian team may be disappointed.

The Turkish team edged out the Costa Rica team by virtue of the goal difference advantage.If the latter can play more wretchedly when facing Brazil, the dark horse may have become a dead horse.

Group D is the most suspenseful group. The US team defeated the Portuguese team by virtue of their ability, drew with Bangzi, and then lost to the Polish team by their ability. Their strength system is completely chaotic.

Bangzi started to play tricks from the third round. They fouled frequently against Portugal. The referee turned a blind eye, but the Portuguese team had to get a card if they dared to foul.

After the stick player tackled the Portuguese player twice in a row, Joao Pinto tackled Park Ji-sung directly from behind, and the referee decisively showed a red card.

The referee sent off another Portuguese player in the second half, and Bangzi took the opportunity to score a goal.

Afterwards, the Portuguese team, which had only 9 players, still played against the stick. It was a pity that Pauletta was really stretched and missed scoring opportunities in a row.

The Portuguese team is the big enemy of this competition. They even lost to the US team in the first round, which broke the big upset of this cup.

Although they beat the Polish team in the second round, in the last round they were able to qualify after a tie, and two people were knocked out by the stick.

Of course, they themselves did not live up to expectations.The main striker Pauletta is simply a tailwind. He would rather die than score in a life-and-death battle. The opportunities he wasted can completely allow Shearer to get the top scorer.

The group is eliminated, and they themselves bear most of the responsibility. The golden generation has nothing to do with it.

Bangzi and the US team joined hands to qualify from Group D.

The German team and the Irish team joined hands to qualify from Group D. The Irish team has basically never lost a fight.This team, which has not entered the World Cup for many years, has performed very calmly, and Keane has shown his potential as a head coach in terms of tactics.

Croatia lost to Ecuador in the final round and watched as Italy made it to the knockout round, followed by Mexico in Group G.

Benzi and the Belgian team emerged from Group H, and the top 16 of the World Cup were all released.
