    "Everyone has watched this game, Qin, where do you think England lost?" Olson turned off the TV in the conference room, looked around at the players, and saw Qin Tian's thoughtful look,  asked.

    "Huh?" Qin Tian raised his head. He had actually been thinking a lot just now and straightened out his thoughts. "The first one is the chaos in the defense. The German team's offensive is very strong. Thomas Muller and Ozil are in the frontcourt.  , Klose stand on three pillars, with Xiaozhu and Podolski behind him who can both assist and deliver shells in time. Under the wild bombardment, England's goalkeeper James made a terrible mistake first, and then the defenders  Except for central defender Terry, the other defenders are full of loopholes, which is undoubtedly fatal in the knockout rounds." Seeing Olson nodding and other teammates listening seriously, Qin Tian continued.

    "The second is that the England team is under great pressure from top to bottom. Everyone, including the coach, is carrying a heavy burden. Before going to the World Cup in South Africa, the England team shouldered the expectations of the country to win the championship, and coach Capello also  He holds the title of the most expensive head coach in the world. At the same time, the English Premier League is now the top league with many foreign players. It is not surprising that he has become the target of research by various teams. In addition, not long before the game, Capello also encountered a player from the team.  There were voices of dissatisfaction among the players, and his stubborn insistence on the rigid 4-4-2 formation was also criticized by the media.

    The third thing is that compared to the youthful energy of the German team, the England team seems a bit old-fashioned.  The average age of the German players in this German team is only 25 years old, making it the youngest German national team since the 1934 World Cup.  This age difference is clearly reflected when the German team attacks aggressively.  For the aging England defense, the German team's offense was lightning-fast.  Therefore, it is not surprising that the English goalkeeper failed four times in this game.

    The last thing is the performance of the stars. In addition to the poor overall performance of the team, the lack of form of the stars in the team is also a major factor.  As the leader of the first team, Gerrard also has to shoulder corresponding responsibilities.  Captain Gerrard's performance in this game was completely different from his performance against Slovenia. Wayne Rooney, who was all-powerful in the league, failed to reflect his world star style from the beginning.  Although Terry did not make any major mistakes, he failed to organize the defense well.  As for Lampard, who missed the goal to save England's face, he also missed many good shooting opportunities.  "

    "Very good. What Qin said is very good. It seems that he really watched the game with his heart. Putting aside this game, the various problems presented by the England team require each of us.  Be careful, don't think that you have completed your mission by entering the top 16. All I can say is that the World Cup has just begun. Don't put your mind on other things, focus on the game in the remaining time.  Come on. In addition, I would like to add one point about this game, that is the referee's misjudgment.

    Some players may feel that we have no control over the referee's misjudgments, but sometimes misjudgments are enough to change the situation on the field.  The stupid referee from Uruguay disallowed Lampard's wonderful goal, which was a key morale-turning goal for England.  After this, the spirit of the English players was greatly affected. Although there were opportunities in the game, they ultimately failed to prevent the German team from winning the game.  What I want to tell you is that you may encounter various problems on the court. No matter which kind you encounter, your mentality is very important!

    "Okay, let's think about it carefully when we go back, get some rest early, and start preparing seriously for our next game tomorrow." Olson looked at his watch and saw that it was getting late, and clapped his hands.

    "Understood, boss."

    The last game before the Danish team¡¯s game was the American Civil War between Argentina and Mexico. The two teams can be regarded as knowing the basics.  Qin Tian is also very concerned about this game because he is his good friend and opponent in the Argentine team, Messi.

    In this World Cup, Argentina's performance is relatively smooth, but Messi's performance is still brilliant compared to his performance at the club, but the only regret is that he has not been able to score so far.  , this is undoubtedly a bit regretful for the Argentine team, and even more regrettable for Messi personally.

    At 20:30 on the evening of June 27, 2010, South African time, the World Cup ushered in the fourth 1/8 finals. Argentina faced Mexico at the Football City Stadium in Johannesburg. The two sides had met 25 times in history, and Argentina won 11 times.  With 10 draws and 4 losses, they have an absolute advantage. In the World Cup, the two teams met in the group stage of the 1930 World Cup and the 1/8 finals in 2006. As a result, Argentina won both games. In 2006, Argentina won 2-2 in 120 minutes.  1 After a difficult defeat of the opponent, Maxi Rodriguez scored a ground-breaking volley.  After the World Cup in Germany, Argentina defeated Mexico 3-0 in the 2007 Copa America semi-finals, and in 20In a friendly match in 2008, they won 4-1.

    Both sides are very familiar with their opponents. Messi will directly talk to his Barcelona teammate Max, and the Mexican team's center Franco is actually an Argentinian. Mexican head coach Aguirre once worked with Argentina when he coached Atletico Madrid.  Players Maxi Rodriguez and Aguero work together.  Compared with Maradona's team in the group stage, there have been three changes. One is that Gutierrez was replaced by Otamendi, who has a stronger defensive ability. The other is that due to Samuel's Achilles tendon injury, Roma defender Burr  Disso will take his place, while Maxi Rodriguez will start in place of Veron.

    After the opening, the Mexican team caused a lot of trouble for the Argentinians. The Argentine team did not have its first shot until the 7th minute. Messi stole the ball in the frontcourt and passed two opponent defenders before hitting the goal from the outside of the penalty area and was blocked.  The Mexican team sounded the alarm for Argentina's defense at the very beginning. Salcido suddenly shot a long-range shot from 35 meters away from the left and hit the crossbar of the Argentine team and then popped up, shocking Romero into a cold sweat.  In the 8th minute, Guardado shot from outside the penalty area, and the ball just missed the left post of the goal.

    As the game progressed, the Argentine team gradually stabilized its position and Messi began to exert his strength. In the 11th minute, Messi dribbled the ball from the center and under the marking of Marquez, the goalkeeper Perez got the ball.  In the 25th minute, Messi scored the ball from the front of the penalty area. Tevez came in at high speed. The opponent's goalkeeper destroyed the ball first, but Messi intercepted the ball and tipped it towards the goal. Tevez in front of the goal shook his head and succeeded.  1-0, this is Tevez's first goal in this World Cup.  Slow-motion replay showed that Tevez was in an offside position, but the referee upheld the original decision after discussing with the linesman and deemed the goal valid.

    The emotionally affected Mexican team lost the ball again in the 32nd minute. Mexican defender Osario made a mistake in passing the ball in the backcourt. Higuain stole the ball and successfully passed the opponent's goalkeeper Perez and scored easily, 2-0, "Little  "Smoking Gun" has scored 4 World Cup goals, leading the scorer list.  Two minutes later, the Mexican team launched a crazy counterattack. Salcido's long shot went straight to the upper right corner of the Argentine goal. Romero flew to save the ball.  In the 41st minute, Otamendi made a pass from the right. Higuain shook his head and missed the goal slightly, missing the opportunity.

    After midfield adjustments, Mexico continued to strengthen its attack. In the 47th minute, Torado's corner kick from the right was blocked by an Argentine player. Salcido, who followed up in time, missed the left post with a long shot.  However, it is the Argentine team that is more efficient offensively.  In the 52nd minute, Tevez's long-range shot from 25 meters away flew into the upper right corner of the goal. The opponent's goalkeeper Perez couldn't save it, 3-0.

    The Mexican team, which was three goals behind, continued to launch a fierce attack. In the 59th minute, Varela passed Otamendi and Maxi Rodriguez on the left and cut into the penalty area. Unfortunately, the final shot hit the side netting.  Three minutes later, Barrera made a pass from the left, and Hernandez shook his head and missed the goal slightly.  In the 70th minute, Mexico formed a siege. Torado sent a through ball. Hernandez stopped the ball, turned around, got rid of Demichelis's defense, and volleyed to score, 3-1.  In the 91st minute, Messi dribbled the ball through the penalty area and volleyed, but Perez held it out with one palm.

    In the end, with Tevez's brace and Higuain's goal, Argentina defeated Mexico 3-1 in the 1/8 finals and entered the quarterfinals. Maradona's team will compete in the 1/8 finals.  4 against the German team in the finals.  Messi still didn't score a goal in this game. Qin Tian, ??who was sitting in front of the TV, looked at Messi's somewhat lonely face and was very clear about what his friend longed for most at the moment.

    At the press conference after the game, many reporters indeed mentioned this issue, "Messi, your performance was as wonderful as when you were at the club, but it seems that you missed one goal. May I ask, will it be the next one?"  ?"

    ¡°I am an offensive player, and like other frontcourt players, of course I hope to score again in the next game,¡± Messi smiled.

    "Your good friend Qin Tian is already killing everyone on the World Cup stage. Is there anything you want to say?"

    Messi was silent for a while, "Congratulations to him for continuing to score goals on the World Cup stage, but if our Argentina team can go all the way to the end, then it won't mean much whether I score or not. But for me personally  I won¡¯t be lazy and I will continue to work hard in the next game.¡±

    "So what do you think of the German team in the next game?"

    "The opponent is a respectable opponent and very strong. But we are not afraid of any team. After all, no team that can come to South Africa is a weak team. It is our obligation to strive to win every game."

    ¡­¡­

    After the first half of the competition, the first to enter the top 8 are Uruguay, Ghana, Argentina and Germany.  And time passed quickly, and the day of the Danish team's first knockout match came.
