Young Football Player

The World Cup group stage is over, and among the best team in the group stage selected by FIFA, Li Chenglong successfully appeared in the forward position.

It is Arjen Robben and Benzema who appear in the forward position with Li Chenglian. There is neither Messi nor Neymar. This is a relatively controversial place.

However, there are different opinions about the best team in the group stage, and different media have different opinions.

For example, the best team in the group stage selected by the Brazilian media has no part in Li Chenglong.

After all, only three group matches have been played, and the performance of the players is still not convincing. It is really difficult to tell who is superior and who is inferior.

On June 28, the round of 16 knockout rounds of the World Cup in Brazil officially began. The first match between the hosts Brazil and Chile started.

The two sides drew 1:1 in 120 minutes, and then Brazil successfully advanced by defeating their opponents in a penalty shootout.

Although Brazil won, but they won a bit reluctantly.

The Brazilians failed to play the gorgeous offense that Samba football should have in the game. Fortunately, their defense is still solid. In addition, Cesar played bravely in the penalty shootout and saved two penalty kicks from the opponent. It is considered a successful pass.

It was also because of this game that some people began to doubt Brazil's strength. Are they really capable of winning?

After the Brazil game, there was another round of 16 match between Colombia and Costa Rica. It was a battle between the two brothers, and it was also a dark horse battle to see who is the real big brother.

In the end, Colombia defeated Costa Rica 2:1 in overtime and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.

In this case, another teammate of Li Chenglong was sent away.

It is also worth mentioning that Ronaldo scored both of Colombia's goals, so his World Cup goals have also come to 5, temporarily ranking in front of Li Chenglong.

According to the ranking rules of the World Cup Golden Boot, if the number of goals is the same, the team with more assists will have the advantage; if the number of assists is also the same, then the team with less playing time will have the advantage.

Ronaldo had 2 assists in the group stage, and Jackie Lee had no assists for the time being, so both sides have 5 goals, but Ronaldo ranked ahead of Jackie Chan.

June 29th is matchday in England.

But at 2 p.m., the game between the Netherlands and Mexico took place first.

In the end, the Netherlands reversed Mexico 2:1 after conceding a goal first. Li Chenglong's club teammate Huntelaar scored the winning penalty.

In this case, the Netherlands will take the lead in passing and will wait for the winner between England and Greece in the quarterfinals.

The largest city in Brazil is Sao Paulo, and the capital of Brazil is Brasilia, but when it comes to Brazilian cities, the most famous one is Rio de Janeiro.

Rio de Janeiro is not only the most famous city in Brazil, but also the most famous city in South America. It is the largest financial, transportation, tourism and cultural center in South America.

The most famous thing in Rio de Janeiro is their landmark building, the more than 1,000-ton Christ statue standing on Monte Cristo.

Not far from Monte Cristo, there is the most famous stadium in Brazil, the Maracana Stadium.

Now it is June, and South America should belong to winter.

However, since Brazil is located in the tropics,

This is a good season for traveling, and the Brazil World Cup is in full swing, so tourists from all over the world are flocking to Brazil, and most of them set their first stop at Rio , the central city of South America.

Like the statue of Christ on Monte Cristo, Rio is welcoming tourists from all over the world with open arms.

In the past few days at the end of June, more tourists flew to Rio from Europe.

One is that the World Cup knockout rounds have officially started. There are a total of 7 teams in Europe that have advanced to the knockout rounds. Many European fans are rushing to support their teams.

The second is that in Rio de Janeiro, the central city of Brazil, the round of 16 knockout matches between England and Greece will also start here.

England's luck is good. Originally, the team is based in Rio, and the venue for the round of 16 matches is also in Rio, which saves Lauto from running around.

However, England has been stationed in Rio for more than half a month, and this is their first time playing in Rio.

In the afternoon, many fans were heading towards the Maracana Stadium in the city.

"Playing at the Maracanã is perfect to warm up for the final."

"Yes, that's it. There is actually no difficulty in this game, but we can get familiar with the turf of the stadium first. When we reach the final, we can win the championship in one fell swoop."

"I have a hunch the Super Blues will score again tonight."

"Hey man, you don't have to doubt it, Bruce can definitely do it..."

On the street leading to the Maracanã, a group of England fans are talking.

The Maracanã Stadium where the match between England and Greece was arranged is actually the stadium where the final of this World Cup will be held, so playing a game here first is indeed a preparation for the final in advance.

Of course, the premise is to be able to reach the final.

If you fail to reach the final, you can also comfort yourself, anyway, you have been to the final venue.

"England bastards, you're going to walk out of the stadium crying tonight."

"You can only go home and watch us accept awards on TV as you did ten years ago."

Soon some Greek fans couldn't understand the arrogant Englishman and began to taunt.

Although England and Greece are both European teams, they don't actually play each other very often.

The two teams have only played against each other 9 times in history. England has 7 wins and 2 draws and remains unbeaten, so England fans are very confident and believe that their team will definitely win the opponent and advance to the quarterfinals.

During the 2002 World Cup qualifiers, Beckham's free kick tied Greece and helped England advance to the World Cup in Korea and Japan. It was the most famous confrontation in the history of the two teams.

As for the 10 years ago that the Greek fans mentioned, it naturally refers to the European Cup in 2004. In that year, Greece went all the way as a super dark horse, and finally won the championship, which made the Greek myth in the European Cup.

At that time, England was eliminated in the quarter-finals by the host Portugal in a penalty shootout, and went home early to watch TV.

In fact, England, as a European powerhouse, has never won the European Cup in team history, and has not even reached the European Cup final, which is quite embarrassing.

Now being exposed by the Greeks, the England fans immediately became upset, and soon a group of people started arguing with each other on the side of the road.

This is also the normal state of football. The players on the pitch are very passionate, and the fans off the pitch are also very passionate.

At 6 pm local time in Brazil, England's round of 16 knockout match against Greece will start at the Maracanã Stadium in Rio.

In this game, Hodgson still arranged the 4231 formation,

Goalkeeper: Joe Hart

Defenders: Leighton Bynes, Gary Cahill, Smalling, Glenn Johnson;

Defenders: Gerrard, Henderson;

Forwards: Sturridge, Rooney, Sterling;

Forward: Lee Sung-yong.

The Greek team arranged a 433 formation,

Goalkeeper: Carnesis;

Defenders: Hollebas, Manolas, Papastathopoulos, Torossidis;

Midfielders: Samaris, Karagunis, Maniatis;

Forwards: Cristo Dolopoulos, Samaras, Sarpinghidis.

Orthodox Greeks, whose names end with whats.

So far, this Greek team is very orthodox.

Before the start of the game, the England commentator was also talking about Gerrard.

"This game was Steven's 115th cap for England, which allowed him to equal David Beckham's record as the second most capped player in England's history after 125. Peter Hilton for the first time."

"Because Steven will quit the national team after the World Cup, so he has no chance to catch up with Hilton's record, but as long as Greece is eliminated and advances to the quarterfinals, Steven can continue to play games, then he can surpass Baker Ham, this second place to himself."

"Although the Greeks accidentally won the European Cup in 2004, Greece has never had any good results in the World Cup. In fact, this is the first time in their team history that they have entered the World Cup knockout stage. I believe the young man We won't let us down..."
