I am the Coach of the National Youth Team - Chapter 455
c455 Qualify early
“The game is over! In the end, the Huaxia team defeated the Algeria team 4-2!” Zeng Kan announced the result of the game.
“With the victory of this game, the Huaxia team has won two consecutive group matches.”
“It is basically confirmed that the group has appeared, and now we have to watch another game, the match between Brazil and Turkey.”
“If it doesn’t matter whether the Brazilian team wins or draws, then the Huaxia team will advance to the group stage.”
“But if Turkey wins, it might be a bit of a suspense.”
“But as long as the Huaxia team doesn’t lose the match against Brazil in the last round of the group stage, they can still qualify.”
“I think there should be no problem for the Huaxia team to qualify for the group stage.” Yang Chen continued to explain.
“Actually, I think that the next game can be given up strategically.”
“Instead of going to compete with the Brazilian team for the first place in the group, it is better to preserve our strength and prepare for the 1/8 finals.”
“What you said is indeed reasonable, but in the end it depends on Coach Li Long’s decision.” Zeng Kan continued to explain.
“Let us look forward to the performance of the Huaxia team in this World Cup!”
. . . . . .
What Zeng Kan and Yang Chen said was also what many Huaxia fans wanted to say.
You can indeed give up for the next game, and you can completely save your energy.
However, what everyone didn’t expect was that Li Long would never give up in this game.
But the outside world does not know, so most of the media have reported that Li Long will selectively give up the game.
At present, some players in the Huaxia team are full of fighting spirit, and some players are relatively disappointed.
In the World Cup four years ago, under the guidance of Lippi.
Tian Runtao is the main striker of the Huaxia team, while Cai Jian has a relatively low status in Lippi’s mind.
And Tian Runtao’s performance was indeed better.
However, four years later, the situation has changed drastically.
In Li Long’s mind, Cai Jian is undoubtedly more important.
And Cai Jian performed really well, starting two games and one as a substitute.
Both games have been scored, and the scoring efficiency is still acceptable.
On the other hand, although Tian Runtao is a starter and a substitute.
But he didn’t score a single goal, not even an assist.
Although his performance was okay, it still made Tian Runtao very frustrated.
The Huaxia team is currently preparing for the final round of the group stage, in the team’s training match.
And Tian Runtao has a premonition that he will be put on the bench in the next game.
Therefore, in the team’s training match, Tian Runtao actively expressed himself.
I hope to use my own performance to successfully conquer Li Long.
But he still had nothing to gain, and Cai Jian hit two goals instead.
Recently, Cai Jian’s condition is too good, and Cao Haoyi is also the same.
Everyone knows that in Li Long’s tactical system.
Li Long prefers double forwards, if he can’t compete with Cai Jian.
Then Tian Runtao can only compete with Cao Haoyi for the starting position, but Cao Haoyi’s performance is better.
So far, Cao Haoyi has scored two goals and has one assist.
At present, all groups have completed two rounds.
In the end, the Turkish team still lost to the Brazilian team, and the Huaxia team finally qualified ahead of the group stage.
Some group qualifying situations have become somewhat obvious, and the most surprising one is undoubtedly the former World Cup runner-up Croatia.
The Croatian team is now very similar to the Argentina team in the last World Cup.
Basically, there is only a theoretical possibility of qualifying, which many people did not expect.
On the contrary, the Senegal team in the same group performed very well.
Mane, who is already 30 years old, has shown his core role.
And there is Coulibaly in the team, as well as Guye of Paris.
This Senegalese team is definitely not weak, of course there are still some problems.
As for the last World Cup champion France team, their performance is as stable as their strength.
The host of this World Cup is Qatar, but as the host.
The Qatar team is more embarrassing. After two rounds as the host, they have won two consecutive losses.
Seeing that the group has little hope of qualifying, and the opponents in the same group are also strong.
Needless to say, the German team, although the performance of the German team in the last World Cup is regrettable.
Then the Colombian team is also a strong team, and the final Swedish team is not weak.
It is already very difficult for the Qatar team to qualify for the group stage.
Among all the Asian teams so far, the Huaxia team has performed the best.
Although the Japanese team won the last game, but in the second round, the Japanese team still lost.
It has been two rounds, and now only the Japanese team and the Huaxia team have won.
Other Asian teams either lose or draw.
Overall, the performance of Asian teams is relatively average.
There were several regrets in the last World Cup, that is, several teams missed the World Cup with regret.
Among them, the most fans are undoubtedly the Dutch and Italian teams.
This World Cup, these two teams have returned to the World Cup.
And these two teams once again competed in the World Cup, and their performance was impressive.
The two central defenders of the Dutch team, Van Dijk and De Ligt, sit on the defense line, making it impossible for the opponent to break through the defense line.
In the midfield there are Wijnaldum, Van der Beek and De Jong, and there are Depay, Belwyn and potential player Mullen on the front line.
This Dutch team is very well-rounded and there are few mysterious problems to be found.
Then there is the Italian team, and the Italian team is also very strong.
Tonali of AC Milan has also grown into an excellent midfielder.
There is also the super-class goalkeeper Donnarumma, and the veterans include Immobile and Insigne.
These two teams are currently in the group and their results are very good.
They are all the first places in their respective groups, and they all have great hopes of advancing.
In addition to these two teams, there is also an American team.
In recent years, the US team has produced many potential new stars.
Needless to say Pulisic, Dortmund’s Reina, Barcelona’s Durst and others.
The U.S. team and the Huaxia team are a bit similar in that they are both young teams.
However, it is a pity that the record of the US team is not as good as that of the Huaxia team.
In the same group as him are England and Chile, both of which are not weak teams.
Especially the England team, the performance of the last World Cup was impressive.
And recently, the England team has also appeared several good young players.
Like Sancho’s younger brother, Greenwood, Saka, Foden, and those young players from Chelsea.
Now they are all mature, and this England team is not weak either.
Although only two rounds of the World Cup have passed, there are already predictions for the champion.
Many of them believe that the French team will continue to win the World Cup.
The French team’s lineup on paper is indeed a bit strong.
Belgium are close behind as the second favorites for the World Cup title.
And then, the next opponent of the Huaxia team is the Brazilian team.
