1257th Qualifying Situation

If Situ Yunbing pinned his hope of defeating Belgium on the 18-year-old Guo Xuantu, then he must be crazy!

Going to Guo Xuantu was to intimidate Belgium. On the one hand, Wu Lei really couldn’t run anymore. On the other hand, Belgium’s offensive continued to rise before then. Taking all factors into account, the Chinese team wanted to give Belgium some threatening signals.

Martinez has lost to Situ Yunbing many times, so he is naturally a bit apprehensive. You must know that the meaning of Belgium not winning this game is completely different from Belgium losing the game.

Proceeding from reality, if they lose this game, Belgium will still have a chance to qualify in the last game, but it will inevitably lose the advantage of the strategic commanding heights.

But if there is a tie, the last round of the game with Nigeria is basically unbeaten and they can advance to the top 16.

The same is true for the Chinese team!

Therefore, the best result of this game for the two teams is of course victory, but the minimum realistic benefit that can be accepted without taking risks is a draw.

After Belgium slowed down, Martinez never saw Guo Xuantu's ability. The key is that the Chinese team basically did not create opportunities for Guo Xuantu. Zhao Fenghua and Huang Bozhou controlled the midfield and never looked forward unless they passed the ball forward. Take a look.

However, Guo Xuantu's running position is ready for anti-offside at any time, but it can also suppress the Belgian formation's retracement.

The tempo dropped, and so did the confrontation. The physical fitness of some Belgian veterans who were over 30 years old also declined significantly. Martinez carefully made substitutions, and the time continued to pass by every minute and every second.

The atmosphere in the Sports City Stadium is gradually being dominated by the fans of the Chinese team!

Of course, Belgian fans are not satisfied with a draw, but Chinese fans are satisfied with the current score.

While not ahead of Belgium, they are not behind either.

When the game entered stoppage time, Martinez looked depressed.

He finally understood that Guo Xuantu was just a cover, not some ultimate move of the Chinese team at all, but a chess piece used by Situ Yunbing to deter Belgium.

Guo Xuantu on the field was even more depressed. He ran hard for more than ten minutes, but he didn't even touch the ball twice, to be exact, only once, and then he was intercepted.

It wasn't the World Cup debut he'd dreamed of.

The whistle sounded for the end of the game.

Although Situ Yunbing didn't smile like he did when he defeated Nigeria in the last match, he looked much more relaxed.

He walked up to Martinez for a post-match handshake, and when their eyes met, there was mutual understanding.

"The second round of the Qatar World Cup Group C match between the Chinese team and Belgium ended. After 90 minutes of fighting, the Chinese team and Belgium ended in a 1:1 draw. The Chinese team took the lead in the first half by Luo Chengjiang , In the middle of the second half, Belgian midfielder De Bruyne scored a direct free kick to equalize the score for Belgium.

The Chinese team was under the test of Belgium's offense for most of the game, but our defense did not give the opponent many chances!

Although the Chinese team conceded goals in two consecutive World Cup group matches, we conceded two goals in the first game, and today we conceded one goal, but this is the World Cup, and we were able to create a record of zero conceded goals in the Copa America , We were also able to set a record of zero goals in the world preliminaries, but in the World Cup, no matter whether it is pressure or the opponent becomes stronger, our defense is not impeccable!

But at the same time, there is also a positive side. We were able to score against a world-class team like Belgium today. There are not many opportunities. It can even be said that there was only one chance in the game, but we scored. There is no more convincing performance than this!

We cannot be overly optimistic about the future, but there is no need to be pessimistic either.

Now the Chinese team and Belgium have the same 4 points. Regardless of the result of Nigeria and Peru in the other game, the Chinese team will still be the first in the group before the final round!

In the next round, we will play against the Peruvian team. What awaits us may be a battle of life and death!

I have full confidence in the Chinese team, because the team's temperament on the field makes us full of hope for the future! "

The players of the Chinese team shook hands with the Belgian players after the game, and some players exchanged jerseys with each other.

Situ Yunbing was smiling when he attended the post-match interview, and he was not at all depressed because of a draw.

When the reporter asked him if he was satisfied with the result, Situ Yunbing smiled and said: "We had a lead of nearly 30 minutes in the game, but in the end we got a draw. I think the Chinese team can accept and be satisfied with this result. We did not create many chances in front of Belgium, which must be admitted, but at the same time we also restricted Belgium for most of the time.

To be realistic, the Chinese team has finished two rounds of the group stage, and we are actually the top of the group. I think there is no better result than this. It is unrealistic to expect to advance to the top 16 in advance. "

The reporter then asked him how he commented on Belgium's performance. Situ Yun still kept smiling and said, "If you look at the statistics, Belgium has the upper hand.

However, in terms of technology, comprehensive team creativity, team confrontation, etc., it is obvious that Belgium has a very strong strength.

Even if they were tied by the Chinese team today, Belgium is still the favorite to win the championship, there is no doubt about it! "

Situ Yunbing is still very low-key, he does not want the media to pay special attention to the Chinese team now.

Looking forward to the last group match, Situ Yunbing said seriously: "We are at least one draw away from qualifying for the group, so we have no reason or room to relax. Now we need to go back to the hotel for team recovery, and then have a good time." Get ready for the next match against Peru."

In comparison, Martinez's tone in the interview after the game was slightly bitter.

"We missed the chance to win the game. I must admit that we played a little cautiously in this game, but this is something we can't help. The opponent is the Chinese team, a team that doesn't sound strong, a traditional team. The strong teams are all teams that should score 3 points on them, but when their coach is Situ Yunbing, you can't be careless.

Compared with the regret of the draw, I don't want to taste the pain of losing.

As far as I know, Situ Yunbing has not lost a key battle in the main game since he coached the Chinese team.

Even the Brazilian team, which has the advantage of home court, failed to beat the Chinese team in the Copa America final. Instead, it was lore by the Chinese team, so I think the draw is an uncomfortable but not painful result.

At the same time, I think the positive meaning of this game is that it will make us raise our vigilance earlier!

This game will have a lot of experience that we need to sum up, which will help us improve. "

Anyway, Martinez's tone is not tough, he gave himself a step down first, and even used the scandal of Brazil's loss of the America's Cup at home as a backstop, which really left the media with nothing to say.

The Chinese team's draw with Belgium made fans all over the country look forward to the team's smooth advancement to the top 16 of the World Cup!

The Chinese team has broken through history, and the two games have set many new records for the Chinese national team in the World Cup.

Most goals in a single game!

First win!

Highest score!

The player with the most goals in the World Cup and more.

And every small step forward will be a big step in the history of Chinese football in the World Cup!

Situ Yunbing led the team back to the hotel and let the team rest earlier, but the players applied to watch the match between Peru and Nigeria together.

After Situ Yunbing thought about it, since everyone was enthusiastic, there was no need to be too rigid.

So I organized everyone to watch the game together at a later time.

The Nigerian team and the Peruvian team are fighting to the death!

The side that loses the game will bid farewell to the World Cup one round in advance, and only the winner will have a chance to break out of the encirclement and advance to the top 16.

Three years ago, Situ Yunbing led his team to play against the Peruvian team in the Copa America. The coach of the Peruvian team is still Gareca. The latter's team has matured a lot in these years, but compared to the increase rate, it is definitely not enough. The Chinese team is big, and it is no exaggeration to say that in the past four years, the improvement rate of the Chinese team is the largest in the world!

Therefore, Situ Yunbing was actually not that nervous about the last round of the match against Peru, and he would not scare himself.

In particular, the Chinese team definitely has the strategic commanding heights.

If the Peruvian team loses to Nigeria today, the Peruvian team will be out early, and the Chinese team can make a fuss about it in the last round. If the Peruvian team wins, then the Peruvian team must beat the Chinese team in the final round to advance. Can hit the opponent's backhand!

So Situ Yunbing himself didn't pay much attention to this game, but since the team is in high spirits, let's watch the game with them.

Nigeria and Peru played an absolutely desperate game, both teams were overloaded, trying to beat their opponents for a glimmer of hope of qualifying.

It turned out to be counterproductive. After 90 minutes of fierce fighting, the score was 2:2.

This is a bit of a lose-lose taste.

Things get really interesting with this group.

The Chinese team has 4 points, 2 goal difference and 5 goals.

Belgium, 4 points, 2 goal difference, 3 goals.

Nigeria team, 1 point, goal difference -2, 4 goals.

Peru, 1 point, goal difference -2, 2 goals.

This means that the final round of this group's qualifying situation will be very strange.

In theory, both the Chinese team and the Belgian team may be eliminated!

Because once the Peruvian and Nigerian teams defeat the Chinese and Belgian teams in the group stage finale, the points for the 4 teams will be the same 4 points!

At that time, it will become a scalp-numbing and brain-exploding arithmetic problem!

However, Situ Yunbing is not worried about this. Anyway, the Chinese team still has the advantage of qualifying, and the match between the Peruvian team and the Nigerian team is very expensive!
