The first round of the Qatar World Cup group stage ended in the early morning of November 25, and the performance of the nine strong teams was different. Brazil and Spain each defeated their opponents and showed strong dominance. France, England, the Netherlands and Portugal won respectively, but some problems were also exposed. The last third place Belgium won the thrilling victory, and Germany and Argentina lost the first round in the 2014 World Cup. These three strong teams were a little sad.
Brazil and Spain play dominant
Asia is a blessed land of Brazil, and the last time the Samba Army won the World Cup was in the South Korea-Japan World Cup twenty years ago. In the first round of the Qatar World Cup group stage, Brazil was the finale strong team. Babaylan they used their gorgeous performance to repay the fans’ expectations and began to show their championship appearance.
In this World Cup, Brazil defeated European powerhouse Serbia 2-0 in the first match, and coach Tit led his disciples to play a pleasing offensive football. In Brazil’s 4-1-2-3 attack formation, almost everyone can become the offensive explosive point. Center Richarlison scored two goals, and Neymar, one of the double midfielders, was at ease in commanding the offense. Left winger Junior continued his hot state at Real Madrid and became a sharp knife in the offense. Another midfielder, Paqueta, has excellent offense ability and has strong scoring ability.
It was not until 2-0 that Titt replaced Paqueta with the midfielder Fred, allowing Manchester United’s double midfielder Casemiro and Fred to be present together. Neymar was replaced due to a sprained ankle, which became an uncertain factor for Brazil. His injury needs to be waited for further examination results.
Brazil fully demonstrates its samba football style, and Spain also fully demonstrates its pass-by and control football. Brazil defended Serbia’s five shots in the whole game, and Spain allowed Costa Rica to fail to shoot in the whole game. However, Spain has not been truly tested by the old Costa Rica lineup, and the “Matador” turned the first round of the World Cup group stage into a training match.
In the first round, Spanish coach Enrique put center Morata on the make-up seat and sent a set of strikeouts. Real Madrid winger Asensio is at the center position, and the two wingers are OlmoCinema and Ferran Torres, three midfielders Busquets, Pedri, and Kamiks are all from Barcelona. There is no regular center in the starting lineup in Spain, but everyone can score. Whether this state can be played when facing a strong team needs to be tested in the next game against Germany.
English and French talents have produced strong firepower
England is the runner-up in Europe BabaylanCinema Cup, France is the defending champion of the World Cup, and the two traditional strong teams performed well. England defeated Iran 6-2, and France reversed Australia 4-1, but Britain and France also had their own hidden worries.
English players are known for their tall figure, tough style and strong confrontational ability. The “Three Lions” coached by Southgate also has delicate foot skills, which further improves their competitiveness. Previously, England, which had 3 draws and 3 losses, performed poorly in the European League group stage, and was considered to be a good match for the world’s Komiks Cup. Komiks. When we arrived at the World Cup, not only did Kane and Sterling of the Mesozoic generation perform stably, but newcomers born in the 2000s such as Bellingham, Saka, and Foden also staged a “youth storm”. Similar to Brazil, England’s bench depth is enviable, and Rashford, Glalish, Foden and Wilson can continue their offensive firepower after they come on as a substitute. Central defender Maguire lost his main position at Manchester United, but Southgate still trusts him very much. His header bombing is extremely threatening, but the “Malaysian aircraft carrier” turns too slowly while defending Komiks, which becomes a hidden danger on the English defense line.
France has a strong talent reserve. Although famous players such as Benzema, Pogba, Kante, Menion, and Nkunku failed to participate in this World Cup, French coach Deschamps was still in the procession.With ease. The offensive combinations Giroud, Mbappe and Griezmann, who were the main players in the last World Cup, cooperated with each other. Last season, La Liga assisted King Dembele to enrich France’s offensive methods. Rabiot is good at attacking in the midfield and is well matched with the back midfielder Joan Amei.
Live left-back Lucas withdrew from this World Cup due to injury. His younger brother Special O came on as a substitute, and his younger brother has stronger assisting ability. France now has only two authentic full-backs Teo and Paval, and Deschamps has begun to try to get midfielder Camavenga to play the left-back in training. The skills of the two central defenders Conat and Upamecano are slightly rough and need further training.
Portugal and the Netherlands each have their own shortcomings
CinemaPortuguese’s focus is still Ronaldo. In the game when Portugal narrowly defeated Ghana 3-2, Ronaldo created a slightly controversial penalty and took the penalty himself to break the deadlock for Portugal. This goal also made Ronaldo create history and became the first player to score goals in five World Cups. His bounce is still very good, but his explosive power and sprint ability have declined. Portuguese coach Santos still insists on letting Ronaldo play the starting lineup, but when the Portuguese captain is replaced and the new generation of Leon and other scorers will be tested.
The “Monster” Pepe is 39 years old. This Portuguese mastermind has been sitting on the bench for many years, but Danilo, who played for him, did not perform very well. In the future games, whether to bring Pepe back to the starting lineup or continue to run-in with the central defender combination of Dias and Danilo is worth considering.
The Netherlands beat Senegal 2-0 in the first round, and should be thanked by Senegal for his weak ability to seize the scoring opportunity. The Netherlands’ starting forward combinations of Jansen and Berwin in that game were two Tottenham’s abandoned players, and their performance was not ideal. Front midfielder Garkepo and Klasson, who came on the bench, scored goals respectively. Barcelona forward Depp’s performance on the bench was remarkable. His injury is recovering and he is expected to return to the starting lineup next.
Dricht appeared in the right center back position of the Netherlands’ three central defender formation, but he admitted that he was more suitable for dragging back or left center back, and also clearly suggested that TinberbiI am more suitable for the right center back. Whether the old coach Fan Babaylan will adjust the starting lineup be a highlight.
Germany and Argentina lose because they underestimated the enemy?
The biggest upset in the first round of the World Cup group stage was that Argentina lost to Saudi Arabia 1-2, and superstar Messi performed mediocrely. It is undeniable that Argentina was not prepared for that game, and the whole team generally lacked energy and thought victory was within reach. Saudi Arabia scored two exciting goals in a row and overtook the score 2-1, Argentina lacked the way to break intensive defense. Argentina will face its old rival Mexico in the second round, and Messi and his teammates must win.
Germany also underestimated the opponent in the game against Japan. Head coach Frick replaced two offensive organizers, Gundogan and Muller, in advance, but it was not safe to lead 1-0. Japanese coach Morikazu Mori continued to substitute and strengthened his offense. The German defense line could not withstand the continuous impact of high-pressure pressing in Japan. Doan Riori and Asano Takuma, who came on as substitutes, scored two consecutive goals for Japan.
The progress of Japanese football in recent years has been obvious. Most of the players who entered the World Cup lineup play in major European leagues. Players such as Dorae, Asano Takuma, Kamada Odigi, Yoshida Ashiya, Ichikura Kamakura, Endo Kama and other players are from the Bundesliga. Germany was taught a lesson by the Japanese team with the “German Second Team”. In the next round, facing his old opponent, Komiks, Spain must be motivated.
Apart from Argentina Cinema and Germany, the traditional strong team that won the first round is in good condition. As the third place in the last World Cup, Belgium returned to Canada, which was the World Cup finals after 36 years with a 1-0 win. Although Belgium ranked second in the world and Canada ranked only 41st in the world, Belgium played in a very embarrassed whole game, falling behind 9-21 shots. If Belgian goalkeeper Courtois had not saved the penalty from Canada’s No. 1 Babaylan star Davis, it would have been difficult for Belgium to win.
