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 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 the blessing of Brazil. The last time the Samba Legion 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, Babaylan Brazil is the finale strong team. They used their gorgeous performance to repay the fans’ expectations and began to show their championship appearance.
In this World Cup, Brazil defeated European powerhouses 2-0 in the first match. 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 one of the double midfielders Neymar pointed out that he was able to attack with ease. Left winger Junior continued his hot state at Real Madrid and became a sharp knife in the offense. Another midfielder, Paqueta, has excellent offensive ability and strong scoring ability.
It was not until 2-0 that Titt replaced Paqueta with 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 own 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, Costa Rica’s lineup is old and small, and Spain has not been truly Komiksref=”https://comicmov.com/”>Babaylan is testing, and the “Matador” turns the first round of the World Cup group stage into a training match.
In the first round, Spanish coach Enrique put the center forward Komiks on the bench and sent out a set of frontless formations. Real Madrid winger Asensio is at the center. The two wingers are Ormo and Ferran Torres, and the three midfielders Busquets, Pedri and Garvey 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 the European Cup, France is the defending champion of the World Cup, and the two traditional strong teams have performed well. England defeated Iran 6-2, and France reversed Australia 4-1, but the two strong men in 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, in the group match of the European National League, England, with 3 draws and 3 losses, performed poorly, and was considered to have “accumulated enough character” to compete in the World Cup. 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 of Cinema is extremely threatening, but the “Malaysia aircraft carrier” turns too slowly when defending, which becomes a hidden danger on the English defense line.
The French talent reserve is also strong, although BenzawaFamous players such as Marx, Pogba, Kante, Menion, and Nkunku failed to participate in this World Cup, but French coach Deschamps was still at ease when deploying troops. 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 players. RabiotKomiks can attack and defend in the midfield, and complements the back midfielder Joan Améni.
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 Babaylan with only two authentic full-backs Teo and Paval left, Deschamps began to try to let midfielder Camavenga 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
Portugal’s focus is still Ronaldo. In the game where 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 become 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 start, but when to replace the Portuguese captain and replace the new generation scorers such as Leon, it will test the coach’s courage.
The “Monk” Pepe is 39 years old. This Portugal’s main central defender has been 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 to continue to work with the central defender combination of Dias and Danilo is worth considering carefully in Portugal.
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 substitute performance is 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 TinbeI’m more suitable for the right center back than myself. Whether the old coach Van Gaal will adjust the starting lineup will also 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 the old rivals in the second round with Mexico, 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 substitution and strengthen his offense. The German defense line could not withstand the continuous impact of Japan’s high-pressure pressing. 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 CinemaBundesliga. Germany was taught a lesson by the Japanese team with the “German Second Team”. In the next round of the game, it must be twelve points against its old opponent Spain.
Apart from the fact that Argentina and Germany are a bit troublesome, Belgium, a traditional strong team that won the first round, has not been in good condition recently. 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 4th in the world, Komiks, Belgium played in a very embarrassed whole game, and the number of shots was behind Babaylan was 9-21. If Belgian goalkeeper Courtois had not saved the penalty from Canada’s top star Davis, it would have been difficult for Belgium to win.
