Green Destroyer

Chapter 151
With the withdrawal of Spain, the top four of the World Cup are all seated.

There are China, the founding country of Cuju, France, the World Cup champion 20 years ago, England, the birthplace of modern football, and Belgium, which has never won any championship (except for the Olympic men's football champion in 1900...).

When the World Cup is played, even a blind person can see that the Chinese team's championship is almost a certainty. The major bookmakers have already closed the odds for the Chinese team to win the championship. All reached above 1-100.

At this time, only the purest patriots will resolutely invest their hard-earned money to their national team!

France coach Didier Deschamps, who has always been considered the favorite to win the championship, said very modestly in an interview:

"We came to the semi-finals, which has proved that French football is on the right path to revival. As for the championship, that is not something we consider."

Belgian star Hazard also said:

"As long as you can stand on the stage of the final, that is the biggest victory in Belgian football."

Whether it is true or not, the French and Belgian teams have already made winning the runner-up the ultimate goal. From the coaches, to the players, to the media, to the fans, no one dares to announce in public that they want to win the championship!
Of course they can say that, because their opponent in the semifinals...is not the Chinese team!
But what about England?
Do you want them to raise their hands and surrender here?
Three Lions coach Southgate looked sad in the pre-match press conference:
"There is nothing perfect in this world. God never creates perfect things. In fact, I have already discovered that both the Chinese team and Chen Hao have obvious weaknesses."

The reporters couldn't help but cheer up.

If it is said that three years ago, there were often head coaches or players who provoked Chen Hao, and then the latter staged a scene of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, then in 2018, when the historical status has been established, No one has dared to put his old face in front of Chen Ritian's slap for a long time...

Even Chen Hao became interested.

I only heard Southgate say slowly:

"The weakness of the Chinese team is very obvious, that is, most of their players are amateurs. As for Chen Hao's weakness...that is the lack of protection for the midfield."

The reporters laughed dismissively.

Even Chen Hao shook his head.

Southgate shrugged:

"I heard your ridicule and felt your disdain, yes, I am not the only one who discovered this weakness, but what's the use?
We know that the Chinese team is not monolithic, but what can we do? !

The Chinese team is the champion!Chen Hao alone can make a team invincible!
Even if he leads ten pigs, he can easily lift the Hercules Cup! "
-
Southgate's remarks caused a commotion.

After careful scientific analysis, some experts came to a terrible conclusion:

"This is England's psychological tactics!"

England has no way to defeat the powerful China head-on, and can only rely on sowing dissension to divide the opponent!

It is true that Chen Hao is an invincible and peerless overlord, but if the ten teammates who started the game are alienated from him, what can he do alone?
No matter how strong he is, can he stop his teammates from kicking into his own goal? ! -
It has to be said that if it is a normal football world, if the opponent's head coach touts the role of a player so much, it will more or less arouse the resentment of other players, and it may indeed cause cracks in the opponent's team.

But...how does the current Chinese team have anything to do with the word "normal"?
All the players here have undergone strict political and ideological education. Almost everyone can carry a pack of explosives and rush into the crowd to die generously. How can Southgate's words of sowing dissension shake their steel-like strength? will?

Not only did Chen Hao not prohibit the players from making comments, but he took the opportunity to give some guidance:
"I don't deny that I am the absolute core of this team, and I am also the most critical factor for this team to get to where it is today, but I never think that I can get everything by myself, otherwise I There is no need to carry out such a large-scale cleaning and reform in the national team.

You are my strongest teammates, but our opponent, England coach Southgate, looks down on you, and he will definitely pay the price! "

Southgate must not have known that the words he used to divide the enemy army were actually used by the opposing commander to motivate the soldiers!
He will definitely regret it! -
7 month 10 day.

Four days after the quarter-finals, the first semi-finals of this World Cup officially started.

The French team and Belgium fought desperately for the glory of the World Cup runner-up, and the scene was once extremely tragic.

The Gallic rooster is full of talents: Griezmann, Pogba, Mbappé, Kante, Dembele, Giroud, Matuidi, Varane, Umtiti, Lemar, Fekir, Kimpembe, Tolisso, Mendy, Lucas Hernandez, Lloris...Every player is enough to be alone, Benzema, Martial, Lacazette, Koeman, Rabbi Players like Ott, Bakayoko, and Moussa Sissoko can all be abandoned by Deschamps without hesitation.

But the European Red Devils are not vegetarian: Hazard, Lukaku, De Bruyne, Mertens, Batshuayi, Carrasco, Fellaini, Witsel, Moussa Dembele , Kompany, Vertonghen, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Courtois... If you only look at the reputation, it will not be inferior to any team!
Almost all players from both sides played in the top two leagues - La Liga and the Premier League. They had played against each other countless times, so they knew each other well. Therefore, when the game started, they had the most intense confrontation without any trial. attack.

But in a big game like the World Cup, every team is extremely cautious. No one really dares to give up defense and attack aggressively. The French team is wary of Eden Hazard and De Bruyne, and Belgium is even staring at Griezmann. With Mbappe, the main players of the two teams can hardly get enough space.

It is not that the two sides did not attack and shoot, but the score in the first half was still 0-0.

After the game entered the second half, as the players' physical energy was exhausted, their attention could not be as concentrated as it was at the beginning of the game, and mistakes and opportunities occasionally appeared.

But it is still not the most famous superstars who solve the game, but those seemingly inconspicuous defensive players.

In the 63rd minute, Griezmann took a corner kick, French defender Umtiti grabbed the front point among the crowd, and an unexpected header broke Courtois' ten fingers!
Hazard, who was one goal behind, led Belgium to launch a counterattack, but they were unable to break through the defensive line formed by Kanter and Matuidi, and could only helplessly watch France advance to the final!

Hazard can only comfort himself with one sentence:
"Bless the French team, they won the 2018 World Cup runner-up ahead of schedule."
