Chapter 1029: Inside and Outside (2)
PS1: I continue to ask for recommendation votes here, saying that free books don’t require everyone to spend money, so it should be fine to give more recommendation votes? Thank you here~
PS2: Let me talk about the book friends group here. The group numbers are three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, and the verification answer is NTR Knight, well, that's it.
PS3: Here I would like to thank the book friend for his reward for "reluctance is not in vain".
After the referee blew the opening whistle, as time passed, the game was indeed as expected before the game. Kahn and Chilavit became the two most eye-catching players in the stadium!
As the most legendary player in Paraguay football history and the most famous player in the Paraguay national team, Chilavit performed very well in this game. When Boulder and Schneider and others were all resolved by Chilavit, Neuville's volleyball shot from 22 meters away from the goal was also confiscated by him. At the same time, the 37-year-old legendary goalkeeper also showed his excellent free kick footing method in front of the fans, and tested Kahn's reflex nerves with a beautiful arc ball.
However, although Chilavitt's performance was outstanding enough that afternoon, Lions Kahn's performance was not inferior. Although this goalkeeper who played for Bayern Munich did not have the superb free kick style as the former and could help the team break the deadlock on the offensive end, Kahn contributed a wonderful save that was not inferior to the former at all, becoming the well-deserved decisive needle on the German team's defense!
With their respective goalkeepers' outstanding performance in the game, the two teams were so hard to solve on the court. Although they created some good scoring opportunities, whenever they faced Kahn and Chilavit who were guarding the goal, they were unable to break through the defense of the two goalkeepers and send the ball into the goal in front of them.
The deadlock lasted until the 89th minute of the game, and it was concluded by Neuville's goalkeepers seven meters in front of the goal, and it also made the match between the top goalkeepers decide the outcome.
In the end, relying on Neuville's close volley before injury time, the German team was able to defeat Paraguay in the quarterfinals, becoming the first team to advance to the quarterfinals in this World Cup!
It has to be said that compared with the unpopular group stages, there were basically no big upsets in these eighth-finals. Ferdinand, Irving and Husky each scored a goal, helping England win Denmark, led by Thomason and Jorgensen, three to zero; Spain experienced a cruel penalty shootout, relying on the brave performance of young goalkeeper Casillas, and difficultly eliminated Ireland, which lost the captain before the World Cup but still showed strong cohesion (Note: Before the World Cup, Roy Keane, the captain of the national team, had a fierce quarrel with head coach McCarthy, and announced his withdrawal from the national team in anger, resulting in Ireland losing.
Their captain and midfield core); the Star Moon Army Turkey eliminated Japan with Mit Davara's goal, killing the host who was preparing to show his fists in the World Cup; Brazil, which has a 3R combination, easily solved the old Belgian team in three or five, and the goals of Rivaldo and Ronaldo made the European Red Devils, who had finally obtained the qualification to qualify, fall outside the goal of the quarterfinals; facing their old rival Mexico, who is on the same continent as them, the United States seems to be quite at ease, and the goals of forward star Donovan and midfielder McBride make the Mexican proud skills look more like a fancy flirting that is not good...
It can be said that, in addition to Senegal's reliance on a golden ball in overtime to defeat Sweden, which has stars such as Lungberg and Larson, fans were quite surprised, before the start of Italy's match against South Korea, most of the results in the quarterfinals were still expected.
After the dust settled in the first seven games, the last game of the quarterfinals is next, which is a direct confrontation between another host of this World Cup, South Korea and defending champion Italy!
"I said, Mr. Zoff, is there something wrong with the starting lineup for tomorrow's game?" On the night before the game, Veljoward, who came to the World Cup as an assistant coach of the national team, reminded with some concern, "I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among the players if I put Pierro in the starting lineup like this..."
To be honest, when he saw Zov's starting list, Verjoward's heart skipped a beat. Because in this list, he saw the name of Del Pierro!
Damn, I wasn't dazzled, how could this guy appear in the starting lineup? This was Villejoward's first reaction at that time. He really couldn't think of why Tonzofu made such a decision. Did the head coach realize that Pierro had been excluded by most players in the national team because of that matter?
"What? Pietro, do you have any objections to this?" Zov asked with a cold face in response to the question raised by Veljoward, "I made a decision after careful consideration. After all, except Vieri, he is the only one in the team who has scored goals in this World Cup. If he doesn't need him, do you still have to use Inzagi who has only the goal in his eyes and has not scored a single goal?"
By the way, Zoff invited Villejoward as an assistant coach not because of his excellent tactical skills or coaching skills, but because this former Serie A first-time central defender has good personal relationships with many players in the national team. Both Maldini and Vieri have to buy his face, which can help him stabilize the atmosphere in the locker room well, so as not to decline in the team's combat effectiveness due to internal friction between players.
However, it is precisely for this reason that Zoff only regards him as a key figure in a stable locker room rather than his assistant, and does not attach great importance to Wiljoward's opinions on some professional issues.
What's more, at this time, Zov was just because of Pierro's affairs and the substitution that had a conflict with Vieri and the others. In order to demonstrate his authority as the head coach, he specially replaced Da Inzaghi with Pierro. How could he go back on his word and compromise with these players who don't take him seriously?
"Okay, since you're so persistent, I have nothing to say." It seemed that I could see what Zov thought about him, or what Zov's words made him speechless, or Zov's stubbornness made him unwilling to make another attempt. In short, Veljoward gave up his plan to persuade Zov to take back his life, but just sighed silently, praying in his heart, hoping that there would be no trouble in tomorrow's game.
Chapter completed!
