Chapter 330 First place in Group C (thanks to Wandering Dada's monthly pass)

At 6:26 on June 22 (the two matches in the final round of Group C of the World Cup will start at the same time, and the match between Huaguo and Peru will be played in Sochi.

With 4 points before the game, China can securely qualify by defeating or drawing Peru, which has already been eliminated. The key is to see the results of the competition between France and Denmark to determine the top spot in the group.

It is expected that France will beat Denmark by a big score, and Huaguo may avoid Argentina after the promotion. Huaguo had no eggs in the World Cup group match with South American teams before.

Zhang Mai and Zhang Yulin still started, Wu Lei and Wu Xi replaced, and the other positions were the same as last round.

It is also the first time for Peru to play against the Hua Guo team in the World Cup. Before that, it had not won 8 consecutive World Cup games (2 draws and 6 losses). Forward Farfan was injured in the head during training and was sent to the hospital. Captain Guerrero still served as the arrow.

1- Zeng Cheng;

2-Bi Jinhao, 6-Cai Huikang, 5-Zhang Linfan, 3-Feng Xiaoting;
10-Zheng Zhi, 4-Liu Jianye, 13-Zhang Mai, 15-Wu Xi;

13- Tapia, 19- Yotong;

It is impossible to manipulate the final ranking of Group C, but Lippi and the coaching staff are still paying attention to the competition between France and Denmark.

In the 12th minute, Peru took the lead with its first shot!Cai Huikang failed to intercept a long pass from Peru's backcourt. Guerrero unloaded the ball and broke into the left side of the penalty area.

The number of goals scored by English League players in this World Cup reached 28, surpassing the number of goals scored by Spanish League players (27 goals).

The game time of the first half passed minute by minute, and the players of the lagging Huaguo team gradually became a little impatient, while Peru defended their learning like an iron bucket.

Except for the "two cards", the other Huaguo players were a little confused by Peru's second goal. The team's thinking was no longer unified, and the performance on the field was a bit out of touch.

In the 55th minute, Lippi started to make substitutions. Li Xuepeng and Zheng Long came on to replace Bi Jinhao and Liu Jianye, and at the same time gave Zhang Mai an order for the whole army to attack.

okay!Zhang Mai immediately called all the frontcourt players over to rearrange, Wu Xi suddenly turned into a three-forward, and the two wings, Li Xuepeng and Zheng Long, also kept pressing on.
