While Italy and South Korea are still arguing over what happened in the just-concluded quarterfinals, the eight teams that successfully advanced to the quarterfinals have begun a new round of fighting!
The first thing to be held is the showdown between England and Brazil. This strong showdown can be said to be the highlight of the quarterfinals. All fans want to know whether the Samba Legion, led by the 3R combination, goes further in the direction of the Hercules Cup, or the Three Lions Legion, known as the "strongest England in history", can continue to move forward and reach the semi-finals of the World Cup again after twelve years.
It has to be said that the combat effectiveness of this English national team built with the 192 generation of Manchester United is still very considerable. Facing the Brazilian team led by stars such as Ronaldo, Rivaldo and Carlos, they can at least have offense and defense with the Samba Legion after the opening, and are not completely suppressed by the Brazilian on the court like Belgium.
Since this game is related to a seat in the semi-finals, after the start of the game, both teams played very cautiously and did not dare to invest too much force when attacking. Although both players on both sides created some good scoring opportunities and posed a certain threat to the opponent's goal, they were difficult to achieve a goal under the interference of defensive players.
However, in the 24th minute of the game, the storm on the court suddenly changed. The Brazilian player's carelessness in defense gave the Englishman an excellent opportunity. Husky received Scholes' straight pass and made a cross. Lucio tried to intercept at the front of the penalty area but made a serious stop-off mistake. Irving seized this opportunity and cut the ball, broke into the penalty area and fought Marcos alone, helping the England team to score the first record!
This is the first time that the Brazilian team, which has been smooth sailing since the start of the World Cup, was led by their opponents. Brazilian players who are used to playing a tailwind seem a little panicked in the face of the situation of being behind in the score. They are eager to win back the score and start to use more direct passes and breakthroughs in the middle in the offense. This direct and unconcealed offensive approach hits the Englishmen's thoughts, resulting in most of Brazil's offensives being blocked by the Great Wall of Human Flesh composed of English players, and it is difficult to achieve satisfactory results.
The offensive end can basically rely on the personal performance of star players. The so-called offensive tactics are also formed based on the personal abilities of these stars. This is a major hidden danger that the Brazilian team in the Scolari era has always had. It is true that Ronaldo and Rivaldo have unparalleled personal abilities. The 3R combination in the frontcourt, plus Carlos and Carfoy's assistance to the wing wings, is enough to tear open the defense lines of most teams. But unfortunately, this time, facing the defense of Ferdinand and Campbell, the Brazilians are proud of it, it is difficult to fully utilize their technical advantages, because there is still a big gap in physical fitness. A tactical foul by English players or ordinary physical confrontation can effectively interrupt the attack that Brazilian players have finally organized.
The current situation of being unable to equalize the score has made the Brazilian more impatient, while the Englishman has made good use of the opponent's impatient mood, using the large space exposed by the opponent after the attack to launch a frequent counterattack, and almost further expanded the score in the 32nd minute.
At this extremely critical moment, Ronaldinho, the least famous and youngest in the 3R combination, stood up. He dribbled the ball in the first half and broke through the defense of several English players in a row, and then assisted Rivaldo to score, helping Brazil tie the score. Then, five minutes after the second half, Ronaldo took advantage of the opportunity of a set piece in the frontcourt and broke through the English goalkeeper David Siman's ten fingers with a super hanging shot of 35 meters away!
In the end, with Ronaldinho's assist and a world-class lob shot, Brazil successfully reversed England while falling behind with one goal and sent the Three Lions away from the battlefield of the World Cup!
Ronaldinho, who gave a one pass and one shot in the game, is naturally the biggest contributor to Brazil's reversal victory. This young midfielder with cute buck teeth became famous with his outstanding performance in this game, completely establishing his position in the Brazilian national team and making himself the target of competition for many teams. For example, Barcelona where Rivaldo is planning to rebuild, AC Milan, who lacks a midfield organizer after Albertini grows old, and Ferguson, who tirelessly seeks technical possibilities, have all developed a strong interest in it.
However, if these clubs want to introduce Ronaldo, they must first pass the Paris Saint-Germain level. Although Paris Saint-Germain was not the super rich man who spent money on the transfer market every year after Qatar capital took over, as a capital team located in the traditional wealthy area of Paris, this Ligue 1 club is not short of money. What they value more is the championship honor and the position of the French Ligue 1 overlord who was trapped by the frequent financial sales of main players and lost their strength.
Therefore, unless Paris Saint-Germain's record in the new season is poor and Ronaldo can't see the hope of winning honors, these managers will never have the opportunity to bring this Brazilian midfielder with superstar potential to their team.
After Brazil became the first national team to advance to the World Cup semi-finals, Germany also relied on the midfield core Barack to score a header in the penalty area and Kahn's outstanding performance, defeated the United States one-to-zero and eliminated the dark horse team!
Although in the group stage, Kahn and Barack, the core members of the German national team, were completely covered by the brilliance of Klose, the brightness of the new recruit, as the game deepened, the importance of the two began to show. After all, without Kahn's high connection and low stop and Barack's central dispatch, the German team, which was widely regarded as a pre-match, would not have entered the World Cup semi-finals!
Compared with Barack and Kahn, who are more and more outstanding in their predecessors, Klose, who is just a newcomer to the national team, in the knockout stage, is really unsatisfactory. He scored five goals in the group stage and failed to score in two consecutive games after entering the knockout stage. He only contributed a threatening shot against the United States, which made many people begin to doubt that this forward star is the kind of forward who bullies the weak and is afraid of the tough one?
With the emergence and spread of this view, Klose's market in the transfer market began to decline all the time. The giants began to turn their attention to Diouf and Ronaldo, who performed better. Only some mid- and upper-level teams in the four major leagues still had a certain interest in them.
