Chapter 792 Boss Mei Is so Panicked
( ) Everyone should know that Russia is by no means a happy place for Germans. When "Katyusha" is sung, the hearts of Germans can be caught in their throats.
So, is it any wonder that Germany lost on the soil of the former Soviet Union?
In fact, Group F, which Germany is in, is not easy to play. Germany, Sweden, and Mexico are not good opponents. Relatively speaking, South Korea looks like a money-giving boy.
South Korea did suffer in the first two rounds, losing to Sweden and Mexico respectively, while Germany lost to Mexico and won against Sweden in the first two rounds. Before the last round, except for South Korea who was dead and burning paper, Mexico did not qualify in advance.
Because they faced South Korea in the last round, it was generally believed that Germany was in control, just like Denmark, and Sweden was hanging on.
As a result, the Swedes lived up to their reputation as the 'Vikings' and defeated Mexico 3-0 cleanly and clearly, so smoothly that it was suspected of being a match-fixing.
The Germans at the Kazan Athletic Stadium were as aggressive as their ancestors seventy years ago, suppressing the Koreans and attacking for 90 minutes.
However, in this game, the Koreans somewhat vindicated their dirty 2002. They relied on their strong and unyielding defense to withstand the indiscriminate bombardment, and entered stoppage time, + the Germans went home naked. .
One is the defending champion, and the other is the team with odds of winning. The biggest upset of the Russian World Cup has occurred.
Rui people admire the last one. Let's not talk about anything else. The German team's logistics brought tons of beer, red sausage, and potatoes. The original plan was to eat it for a month. Now it's less than two weeks. There is so much left. Who should I give it to?
Anyway, it can't be given to France, because most of the people are musilin and don't drink alcohol or eat the kind of meat in the intestines, and the other half don't dare.
Koreans don't care, they just throw away the kimchi and cold noodles.
In any case, the Koreans are worthy of praise for this game. They were able to force the Germans to physical collapse in the last few rounds, and 11 Koreans gained 30 lungs.
Loew's obsession with pass-and-control play has led the German team into a dead end. After the technical reform of German football in recent years, Germans' footwork has generally increased, but they are obviously still not as sophisticated as those in southern Europe. They stubbornly pursue passing and controlling, and they will either live like summer flowers or die like autumn leaves.
With a blind eye, Loew made passing control the goal, but lost the tenacity and discipline that German football relies on. The team had physical problems after only three games, which shows the mistakes in preparation.
In the second half of the game, after Germany was unable to attack for a long time, Loew replaced Xiaozhu and Grandpa Mo, and replaced the troll Gomez and Erba Muller to attack hard.
In fact, before the game, the German media called for the restart of the Erba + Troll striker combination. However, ten years later, especially after becoming the world champion coach four years ago, Loew became too stubborn, and the German team became his one-stop shop.
Veterans such as Grandpa and Mr. Zhu actually have a estrangement from Loew, and it is quite deep, but they have always maintained the dignity of the championship team.
But in this game, the captain and deputy captain were replaced successively during the "blame time", and the contradiction was revealed. Grandpa and Mr. Pig ignored each other when they left the game.
Except for Brazil, the defending champions of the World Cup in recent years have all had miserable results. France in 2002, Italy in 2010, Spain in 2014, and even Germany this year all failed in the group stage. This may be fate, so I can't blame Loew either.
However, football has always been about success and failure. The day after the game, Grandpa Mo and Mr. Zhu publicly announced in the media that they were withdrawing from the national team for the reasons of "being ashamed of the German people" and "ageing should give way to talents."
He did not make excuses, nor did he accuse Loew of being stubborn. It was the responsibility and decency of two veterans who have been playing German football for 15 years.
Grandpa Mo and Xiaozhu are both 34 years old. When they were still in Madiburg, they were called into the national team by the previous coach Rudy Worrell.
Joachim Loew is 58 years old this year, which is not yet old, so he has not taken the blame and resigned. Moreover, the German team has never had a tradition of changing coaches due to performance, unless they really can't stand it or resign themselves.
The departure of the German team will at least make the appearance of the Russian World Cup drop a notch. From this perspective, it is actually a sin for the French team to advance.
.
It was also a life and death battle, but Argentina survived.
After two rounds in Group D, Argentina lost to Croatia 0:3 in the second round, leaving Argentina squatting on the edge of the cliff. Fortunately, in the last round they met Nigeria, their very own 'wealth boy'.
Nigeria has never had a good life whenever it meets Argentina in the World Cup, but this time it was just a little bit worse.
In the 14th minute of the game, Boss Mei scored a goal after breaking through with his personal ability, which was quite good. But Argentina's whole game was also about 'personal ability'.
In good conscience, Nigeria should win this game. They played very well, especially in the second half, when the Argentine team headed by boss Mei was overwhelmed by them.
In the 51st minute, Ma Ma pulled down Balogun while defending in the penalty area. Chinese referee Ma Ning awarded a penalty kick after a VAR ruling.
Leon Balogun is a central defender from Mainz who has dual nationality of Nigeria and Germany. Although he was suspected of forcing the ball into Mascherano's arms to seek a foul, Balogun is 1.5 meters tall and Argentina was so misplaced when defending the set ball, which shows how ridiculous it is.
Moses from Chelsea easily scored a penalty kick. Boss Mei lay on the green grass and looked at the sky: I am Messi, and I am panicking now.
Nigeria will qualify if they draw, and Argentina will die.
Di Maria came to throw flags at his house, Higuain came to rub the flowing water mat, Aguero came to break the basin, and Mao Zedong personally wedged the nails in the coffin lid.
Marco Rojo! A man who rose up with the football champion on his back, a man who carried the coffin and sang songs for Argentina. He also saved the club champion in the 8th Argentina.
2:1, Croatia, Nigeria, 3 points, Iceland, 1 point.
After the game, referee Ma Ning and the penalty call caused controversy, specifically VAR. Ma Ning spent three or four minutes just watching the video analysis.
Do football matches need to be so detailed? Is the gain outweighed by the video intervention that makes the game fragmented?
Zhuoyang used the Eiffel Tower as an example.
When the Eiffel Tower was first completed, it faced opposition from all French people because its grotesque steel shape was a betrayal of Paris's classical and romantic urban tradition. Nowadays, the Eiffel Tower is perfectly integrated into the urban temperament and culture of Paris, and this is generally the case in the world. The same is true for the adoption of VAR technology in football matches. People who oppose it are just because they are unwilling to change, or think that only nostalgia is the best. There are also quite a few people who oppose it for the sake of opposition, because opposing it will make them appear to have depth.
Who knows, football today is completely different from a hundred years ago.
