I'm a striker

Chapter 643 Prepare for the Netherlands!

The excitement of the Chinese team's promotion has not yet dissipated, and the Chinese fans have also begun to look forward to the match between the top [-] and the Dutch team.

In fact, for many Chinese fans, the Chinese team's historic entry into the top [-] of the World Cup knockout round has completely satisfied them.

The next game is just one more game.

Because Chinese fans are used to staying up all night waiting for the Chinese team to play.

Of course, although the Chinese team advanced, it is gratifying to score nine goals in the three group matches, but people also found that the Chinese team conceded five goals in the three group matches.

Fans who are familiar with the rules of the World Cup know very well that teams with poor defense must not go far.

The main problem with the Chinese team's defense is the lack of self-control.

After all, China is now able to produce defenders, and Song Rentou is also a striker, but the midfielders, Du Yang and Zheng Zhi, are still a lot inferior when facing a truly world-class midfield combination.

"I'll go... You didn't choose an opponent? But this is a wise decision." Song Rentou received a QQ message from Messi as soon as the Chinese team's game ended.

For Messi, in addition to QQ, he recently discovered a very magical website called Taobao.

Messi bought a book called "Self-cultivation of a striker", and it was also in Spanish.

"Don't envy us!" Song Rentou replied to Messi.

"Chile is not weaker than the Netherlands. Spain's disastrous defeat was a matter of mentality. Although the Dutch counterattacked sharply, they had no way to fight. But once Chile goes crazy, it's hard to say." Messi said to Song Rentou.

"Well, instead of choosing an opponent, it's better to be yourself." Song Rentou replied again.

"As expected of a man who is going to be the king of the world!" Messi gave Song Rentou an emoji of a small steel helmet lighting a cigarette.

The Chinese team won all three games and advanced, and public opinion has already been fried...

At the press conference after the game, Croatia's coach Nick Kovac stated that he would take full responsibility for the World Cup defeat, and also announced that he would resign from the position of Croatia's head coach in this game.

At the same time, he also praised the Chinese team, thinking that they are worthy of qualifying.

The head coach of the Chinese team, Gao Hongbo, believes that the Croatian team is quite good, and the Chinese team is luckier.

Better luck?The media all over the world suddenly began to look forward to the World Cup round of [-] between the Chinese team and the Dutch team.

Because that game is going to be great.

"Song, before the start of the World Cup, you said that the goal of the Chinese team is to score one point, score one goal, and win a game. Now, you have won all three games. Now I would like to ask, what is your next plan?" What is the goal?" A French journalist asked his own question.

But this time, Song Rentou's answer caused the entire press conference to explode.

"Play seven games." Song Rentou answered cleanly.

Played seven games!

But now, none of the reporters present would find Song Rentou's words funny.

Because it is not impossible!
The Chinese team has done things that have surprised many people, so why can't they go one step further?
Football is full of suspense.

However, compared with the previous goal, this answer is too far behind, right?
"Do you really... think you can do it?" After the press conference, Sun Ya secretly looked at Song Rentou.

You must know that Song Rentou's rhetoric has been regarded by the Dutch as a humiliation to them.

Played seven games?Isn't that telling the world that the Netherlands is not China's opponent at all?

"I'm bragging." Song Rentou said what was in his heart.

"My God, do you know...we will be the target of public criticism." Sun Ya said to Song Rentou a little speechlessly.

Song Rentou waved his hand disapprovingly, "Because we should be villains from now on... Besides, they asked me about my goal, should I say the top eight? Isn't that looking down on the Dutch? You know, reaching the top four , even if they can’t make it to the finals, the third and fourth finalists will have played seven games.”

Sun Ya suddenly felt that what Song Rento said was not unreasonable.

It's just that the foreign media don't see it that way.

"French Football" said: Three games won, five-star China's declaration: play seven games!
The "Associated Press" is even more exaggerated: The Chinese sword has already pointed to the Hercules Cup!
Spain's "Marca", "Aspen", and Barcelona's "Mundo Deportivo" respectively stated that the Chinese team had reached the top [-] in history and chose the Netherlands as their team without hesitation. Such a team must not be underestimated, and it is not a lie to play seven games!

"Reuters" published an article: The king of London will be the king of the world, play seven games, and the Asian express train is determined to sail to the final stage. For a while, the whole of Europe began to discuss it.

Whether it's Twitter or Facebook, Song Rentou's declaration of playing seven games is in stark contrast to his previous declaration of scoring one point, scoring one goal, and tying one game.What everyone is more interested in is why the current gap between the Chinese team is so large...

A British netizen named James made his own guess, that is, the Chinese team had to keep a low profile as much as possible because they were going to play the host Brazil in the first mission.But now, having won all three battles, they have no reason to be afraid of any opponent.On the contrary, anyone who still thinks of them as the Chinese team from 12 years ago will suffer...

Of course, everyone also understands that James is obviously teasing Holland for being timid.

After the Chinese team ended the three group matches of Group A, Gao Hongbo also canceled the next vacation, because the Chinese team must quickly enter the rhythm of preparation for the knockout round.

After all, the Chinese team has been preparing for the three games between Brazil, Mexico and Croatia for more than a month.But for the game against the Netherlands, the Chinese team only has four days!
Countless Chinese fans can hardly restrain their excitement. What everyone cares most about every day is the training of the Chinese team, interviews with players and reports on various aspects of the state.

Fortunately, the Chinese team has its own Weibo, which can interact with fans in a timely manner.

In addition, Datianchao TV Station also canceled all programs, making way for the World Cup.

Want to watch basketball, table tennis, badminton?I looked online...it's football time, it's World Cup time.

The Dutch team has a fairly fast fast break attack ability.

Their match against Spain in the group stage can be described as a classic battle of defensive counterattack.

This simple tactic of finding the striker with a kick from the midfielder or defender, and letting the players rely on their own personal abilities to quickly resolve the battle is also quite unsolvable.

The Dutch team is the team with the most crosses per game so far in the group stage.

This will greatly test the two defenders Zhang Linpeng and Huang Qijun of the Chinese team...

However, this Dutch team also has its own weaknesses, that is, the suppression and control are not so strong.

And their defense is very young, and experience will be the biggest problem for the Netherlands' defense.

Song Rentou's physical condition is the most concerned thing for the coaches of the Chinese team, and it also affects the hearts of more than one billion Chinese fans.

Because Song Rentou did not exert much strength in the game against Croatia, he still retained a lot of physical fitness. In the game against the Netherlands, he will be a 90.00% five, close to [-]% Song Rentou.

Gao Hongbo and the coaching staff of the Chinese team decided that the Chinese team should still stick to the defensive counterattack. At the same time, it is imminent to practice penalty kicks.

But Song Rentou didn't like kicking penalty kicks, which also gave Gao Hongbo a headache.

After all, if the penalty kick goes to the final round, Song Rentou must play.

But that is a small probability event after all.

Just as the Chinese team was preparing for the top 13 match against the Netherlands under the eyes of everyone, the No.[-] match day of the World Cup also began.

Today will compete for the four qualifying teams in Group C and Group D.

One of the most concerned, of course, is the D group.

Because the current situation in Group D is that Costa Rica won all two games and took six points, Uruguay and England each won one game, and Italy's two games are only theoretically possible.

Although the tragedy of Dali makes people sigh, the suspense of the death group will still be revealed in the final round of the group stage.

If the England team can beat Costa Rica and Uruguay beat Italy, then there will be three teams with six points in this group!
At present, in terms of goal difference, Costa Rica is three, Uruguay is minus one, and England is zero, but the situation of these three teams is very complicated!

Suppose England beat Costa Rica [-]-[-], then Costa Rica will lose one goal and England will add one goal.

And if the Uruguay team beats Italy [-]-[-], then Uruguay will also be one, and then the number of goals will be compared according to the rules, but the goal difference of the England team will be exactly six...

Unfortunately, Uruguay is also six!
That will compare the outcome of Uruguay and England!
"That said...England want to make sure they qualify, they need to win by at least two goals to be safe. Of course, if they beat Costa Rica [-]-[-], then they will qualify, and as long as they don't win [-]-[-] or [-]-[-] in Uruguay. Beat Italy with a score of more than zero, then England will be the first in the group..." After the training session, the Chinese players who returned to the hotel also gathered together to watch the World Cup again.

"Of course, the Italians also have a theoretical possibility of qualifying..."

Listening to Song Rentou's explanation, the players of the Chinese team nodded.

After all, Colombia in Group C is now the best. If possible, try to avoid Colombia as much as possible!
In short, the two games in Group D, except for Italy, which is a theoretical battle, the other two games can be described as a battle of life and death!

In the two games of Group C that kicked off on this World Cup match day, Colombia once again demonstrated its quicksilver-like attacking ability.

The Japanese team, which is known for its ability to control the ball, not only lost the ball this time, but was even embarrassed on the scene...

The commentators of NHK TV in Japan are very helpless, because if Japan can try to beat Colombia, they still have a good chance of qualifying...

Now, however, the opportunity is gone.

With James Rodriguez scoring twice and Cuadrado and Martinez scoring successively, Colombia also won three consecutive victories in the group stage after beating Japan four to one!

Since then, there have been three consecutive victories in the three groups of A, B, and C!
And this is unexpected by many people, China in Group A, Chile in Group B, and Colombia in Group C!

At the same time, James Rodriguez also scored five goals in the scorer list!
Same as Neymar, Song Rentou and Benzema!
The battle for the Golden Boot in the top scorer list of this World Cup is also rare and fierce!
But another match in Group C left people speechless...

Côte d'Ivoire is facing Greece, which can only qualify if Japan draws or loses, and it can only win if it wins...

And the African elephant is still one goal ahead.

However, the Ivorian only had a laugh until the No.807 minute of the game. With a kick from the outside of the Greek team to equalize the score, the Greeks completed a Jedi reversal at the last moment!

They won a penalty kick at the last moment of the game. Samaras, who created the penalty kick, made it overnight. The Greeks made history and advanced to the top [-] of the World Cup for the first time!
The Ivorian player who gave Greece a penalty kick cried bitterly. For Drogba, his last World Cup is over!
The African Elephants have always been recognized as the strongest team in Africa, but this time, they can no longer blame the poor luck in signing!

The never-say-die spirit of the Greeks seems to remind people of the iron army that created a myth and won the European Cup in [-]...

This is the World Cup, don't say you are sure to qualify until the last second.

The Greeks' reversal and qualifying made them another team that successfully advanced to the top [-] in this World Cup!
The whole of Greece was in a carnival.

However, no one thought that this was just an appetizer for the No. 13 match day of the World Cup, which was later called the Great Miracle Day!

The battle of the group of death begins!

England vs Costa Rica!
Uruguay challenge Italy!
