Football: start copying peak Messi attributes

The eight games in the top 2 are moving forward at the rate of two games per day.

Before July 7, the results of all eight games have been released.

Judging from the list of those who have advanced to the quarter-finals, this year is another year of great success for European teams.

Including defending champion Spain, a total of 6 European teams have advanced to the quarterfinals.

All African teams have been eliminated in the group stage. Japan, the only Asian team, also lost to the European red devil Belgium 2:3.

At this point, there are only 6 European teams and 2 Latin American teams left on the World Cup stage.

Although the remaining two teams in Latin America, Brazil and Colombia, are traditional strong teams with good strength.

But the outside world is generally not very optimistic about them, because in this World Cup, the teams in Europe are generally very strong.

Not to mention the defending champion Spain, none of the four teams that have suddenly emerged are the Gallic Roosters, Three Lions, European Red Devils and Plaid Legion are not easy to mess with.

Among the top eight, the weakest European team is probably the Swedish team.

However, according to the rules of the World Cup, Sweden's opponent in the next round is England, and the Latin American duo failed to pick up this soft persimmon.

The Uruguayans were the most unlucky. Their next opponent was the advancing French team.

With the French team's current momentum, the outside world is generally more optimistic about them. Including football commentators and football celebrities, more than 80% of people are optimistic about the French team's victory over Uruguay.

The French team did not disappoint. With Griezmann's pass and shot, they easily defeated Uruguay 2:0 and became the first team to advance to the semi-finals of this World Cup.

The Brazilian team had slightly better luck. Their opponent was the European red devil Belgium.

The Brazilian team is stronger than Uruguay, and the Belgian team is weaker than the French team.

In this way, the Brazilian team's hope of defeating the Belgian team is at least much higher than that of Uruguay.

After the game started, five-star Brazil quickly launched a fierce attack on Belgium.

Neymar, Jesus, Coutinho, Paulinho, Willian and others took turns to attack the opponent's defense.

The Brazilian team's offensive was very fierce, and it once formed an absolute suppression of Belgium on the scene.

In the 8th minute of the game, Thiago Silva's shot hit the post, and the Brazilian team got closer and closer to the goal.

Just when Brazilian fans were looking forward to their first goal, reality hit them hard.

In the 12th minute of the game, the Belgian team took advantage of a corner kick and caused Brazilian midfielder Fernandinho to score an own goal, taking the lead in scoring.

The score became 1:0.

This result left Brazilians stunned!
After reacting, the Samba Army launched a more ferocious counterattack.

But unfortunately, they had the upper hand but couldn't score.

Sora had dozens of shots, but could not score.

In the 30th minute of the first half, after Belgium successfully resolved the opponent's corner kick, Lukaku quickly advanced with the ball in the middle.

Later generations of fans jokingly called Inter Milan's forward combination of Lautaro and Lukaku a combination of one high and one fast.

Lautaro, who is only 1.74 meters tall, is responsible for height, and Lukaku, who is over 1.9 meters tall, is responsible for speed.

But one thing is that for this long-distance run with the ball, Lukaku was indeed very fast. The Brazilian midfielder could not effectively intercept him. He rushed into the frontcourt and passed the ball to Germany on the right. Browne.

De Bruyne continued to take a few steps forward, and then suddenly kicked off and shot.

This shot was not only sudden, but also at an extremely tricky angle. The most fatal thing was that the ball was also very fast.

Although Brazil's goalkeeper Alisson had already reacted to the save immediately, he was still half a beat too slow. The football hit the Brazilian team's goal like a heavy artillery shot.

The score became 2:0.
What's worse than this score is that Belgium played the effect they wanted.

The Brazilian team proved by conceding the ball this time that their defense could not stop the opponent's quick counterattack.

And this undoubtedly caused trouble for the Brazilian team's offense, as they no longer dared to attack their opponents with large numbers of troops.

The Brazilian team took a lot of shots in this game, but most of them were long shots from the outside. Although they looked threatening, they did not score any goals.

On the contrary, it was Belgium's counterattack. With De Bruyne, a very creative passer, he could accurately find his teammates in the shortest time every time, making the Brazilians frightened.

Coupled with the high-quality free kicks taken by De Bruyne from time to time, the Brazilian team's goal was frequently tested.

In the 75th minute of the game, Neymar's supplementary shot in the penalty area was saved again.

The score was still 2:0, and some female fans of the Brazilian team in the stands could not help covering their faces and crying.

Even Neymar failed to step up and save the team, who else can they count on?
But just when the Brazilian felt that the future was bleak, Coutinho found a gap in the opponent's defense on the left wing and hoisted the ball into the penalty area with a long pass.

Augusto, who plays for Beijing Guoan, used a wonderful header to help the Selecao regain a victory.

This goal greatly boosted the Brazilians' morale, and they launched an even fiercer attack on Belgium in the following period.

I have to say that the Brazilians' offensive ability is really strong. Under their crazy attack, they created many opportunities.

However, Coutinho, Augusto and others wasted good scoring opportunities again and again, making the Brazilian team's offense in vain.

In the end, the Brazilians were unable to recover and lost to Belgium 1:2 and were eliminated.

The result of this game was unacceptable to the Brazilians. Neymar was very dissatisfied with several controversial decisions made by the referee.

He believed that the opponent had fouled him in the penalty area at least three times. If the head coach awarded a penalty kick, the outcome of the game might have been completely different.

But I don’t know if it was a bad impression left by his love for diving. The referee was indifferent to his fall in the penalty area.

And it has to be said that Neymar's several falls, although the opponent was indeed suspected of fouling, the traces of his own performance were too obvious. For a person with a diving record, this kind of performance will make the referee more hesitant.

It can only be said that Neymar succeeds and Neymar fails!

With Brazil's elimination, this World Cup has completely turned into a European civil war.

The Swedish team then played and lost to England 0:2 as expected.

After the Three Lions failed to win a game in the last World Cup and were humiliatingly eliminated, this World Cup can be said to have changed their minds. Not only did they play wonderfully, but the mental outlook of the players also took on a new look.

The most frightening thing is that this England team is not in full shape yet, and they still have a lot of room for growth.

On July 7, the last game of the quarter-finals was held at Luzhniki Stadium. The two teams in this game are Spain and Croatia.

The most recent meeting between the two teams was in the 2016 European Cup group stage in France.

That time, Croatia reversed course and defeated Spain, but Lin Quan did not play at that time. This result did not truly reflect the true strength of both sides.

This time, both sides played with almost their entire main lineup without any reservations.

Who is stronger or weaker depends on the final result of this game.

Since Spain's quarter-final match ended earlier, they had one more day to rest than Croatia.

This gives them more time to rest, and also allows the coaching team enough time to study the opponent's information and find ways to target the opponent.

As for Croatia, as their opponents are the favorites to win this World Cup, they naturally do not dare to slack off. They have already started collecting game information about Spain a long time ago.

So even if the preparation time is one day less than Spain, it will not affect them at all.

Seven days have passed since the last game between the two teams. At this time, both sides have recharged their batteries and adjusted their physical and mental state to the best.

At nine o'clock in the evening, with the referee's whistle, this highly anticipated battle officially started.

Since the two teams were very familiar with each other, the two sides immediately skipped the testing phase after the game started and started fighting each other as soon as they started.

While the CCTV commentator was still introducing the starting lineups of both sides step by step, Spain's offensive had already reached the front of Croatia's penalty area.

Lin Quan passed the opponent's midfielder and knocked it across to Iniesta in the middle. He continued to rush forward. Iniesta passed the ball before the opponent's pressing players could get into position, completing a textbook move. The hit-the-wall coordination.

Lin Quan broke into the penalty area. Croatia defenders Vida and Lorenv tried to close the door on him, but Lin Quan anticipated the opponent's response and stopped the ball before the opponent closed the door. The ball was shot out from the gap between them.

Subasic, who performed brilliantly in the penalty shootout with Denmark in the last game, continued his excellent form in this game.

Although he didn't choose his position well, he reacted very quickly. After seeing Lin Quan's lob, he quickly jumped in to save the ball and pushed the ball over the crossbar in a thrilling manner.

In just 13 seconds, the Spanish team completed a very threatening shot.

The audience at the scene was not ready yet, and before they even had time to see the entire attack clearly, the attack was over.

The fans who had witnessed the entire attack also reacted and excitedly applauded and cheered.

With such excitement from the beginning, this game will definitely be exciting.

As the teams of Messi and Ronaldo were eliminated one after another, Lin Quan naturally became the only super giant in this World Cup.

The huge influence brought by one World Cup, one European Cup, four leagues and four Champions League trophies has allowed him to accumulate a large number of fans around the world.

In this game, many fans made a special trip to watch the game live for him.

These people are not even fans of Spain. They wear a variety of jerseys, including the jerseys Lin Quan wore when he was at Werder Bremen, and more of the jerseys he wore at Manchester City.

There are also some fans from Asia wearing red jerseys. At first glance, they thought they were Spanish uniforms. But upon closer inspection, they seemed to be the national football uniforms?

This is ridiculous!

These people don't care about winning or losing the game, they only care about Lin Quan's performance.

After seeing Lin Quan and his teammates complete such a wonderful offensive cooperation, these people shouted excitedly. Some fans even picked up their mobile phones and cameras and started taking pictures. After taking the pictures, they couldn't help but say Show off to the fans:

"Brothers, the front row seats have a unique view. You can enjoy all the wonderful performances of the players from both sides, especially Lin Huang, at close range. How about it? Are you envious or not?"

"It's so far away that you can't see the players' movements clearly, right?"

"There's no close-up, right?"

"There's no slow-motion replay, right?"

"The noise at the venue is so loud, it must be noisy, right?"

"It's better to be at home. We are lying comfortably on the sofa at home, eating melon seeds, drinking Coke, and blowing on the air conditioner. Not to mention how comfortable it is!"

“That’s right, the most important thing is to save money!”

"With this location, you can see that you have spent a lot of money. With this money, it's better to buy something, food, drink, clothes, or if you don't have enough money, go and have fun. By the way, brothers, who will win this time?"

"Needless to say, of course it's Spain. According to Lin Lin's law, when Lin Lin is around, buying his team is guaranteed to win."

Because Lin Quan has a very high winning rate in leading games whether he is in the club or the national team, so over time fans have concluded something like Lin Huang's Law, which can be summed up in one sentence, just buy Lin Quan and win without any thought!

"But the Croatian team is very strong, and Modric is also there. I think Spain's midfielders may not be as luxurious as their opponents."

"Those who win the midfield win the world. Croatia's midfielder is a bit strong. I am optimistic about their upset victory over Spain!"

"That may not be the case. Lin Huang is playing in the midfield today. With Lin Huang here, Spain will not suffer any loss in the midfield."

"If Spain really loses to Croatia, then all the three giants in football will be eliminated!"

"If this is really the case, FIFA and the tournament organizers will probably faint in the toilet from crying!"

A game without top stars will definitely not be as eye-catching as a game with top stars on the field.

The number of eyeballs the competition attracts is directly related to the organizer's income.

The World Cup is one of the few large-scale sporting events in the world that can still bring profits to the organizers.

Comprehensive events such as the Olympics have long ceased to be popular because they cost too much money and cannot be earned back at all.

Naturally, no one is willing to do a business that is losing money.

"Damn, you guys must have done it on purpose!"

The person who first noticed that the photos at the scene were awkward, became angry when he saw that his photos did not arouse the shock and envy of the group friends.

In fact, he didn't know that although the group friends said they were not envious on the surface, they were actually envious for a long time.

If you can go to watch the game live, who would want to stay at home?

Just because of the crazy football atmosphere and the opportunity to ask for autographs and photos with their favorite players, they were eager to take their place.

But the cost of going to the World Cup to watch the games is really high. In addition, everyone is just a social worker, so we really don’t have that much time and energy to go there.

At this time, on the court, the match between the two sides was still going on intensely. (End of chapter)
