The further the World Cup schedule goes, the more cruel it becomes.
Because those who leave at this time are actually not far away from the final success.
And there are many people leaving at the beginning, so everyone’s attention will not be on you alone.
But if you only take one team every day, you will get pity from all over the world.
That's what hurts the most.
When everyone thinks you are pitiful, even if you have an annual salary of tens of millions, a luxury car, a mansion and a happy family, you will be really pitiful.
The matchups for the World Cup quarter-finals will be announced soon.
Pampas Eagles Argentina’s opponent is the European Red Devils Belgium.
The biggest highlight of this matchup is who is the genuine one between Serie A Mateo and La Liga Incitens!
Whoever wins will have his or her name preserved in the future.
Most fans generally support Argentina.
Although Belgium also has many stars, when it comes to superstars, Belgium is still a little behind.
Moreover, Carlisle had just made a wave of presence around the world.
Liverpool's three visits to the thatched cottage, Liverpool even bought Versage at a high price for Carlisle, who obviously had a premium, Carlisle signed and then traded forcibly leaving 30 million to Fiorentina... These are all popular stories in football.
The opponent of the Gallic Rooster French team is the Golden Sun Uruguay, which has an important position in the South American football section!
Eighty-five percent of the fans in this game believed that the French team would win the final victory.
Because the French team has an advantage in almost every position, and the advantage is not small.
But Uruguay captain Roberto Leal said before the game that cup competitions have always been a hotbed of upsets, especially the World Cup.
Moreover, Uruguay's football strength is not weak, and many of its players are main players or even mainstays in the five major leagues.
So it is entirely possible for Uruguay to go further!
You know, when in good condition, Uruguay also beat Brazil.
Now that we are talking about the Brazilian team, who is the opponent of the Selecao?
Matador Legion - Spain!
At the moment when they saw the group results, the Spanish fans felt somewhat desperate.
Spain is not in good shape this year. If they play Uruguay, everyone is confident.
But play Brazil.
It's really difficult.
Finally, Azzurri Italy faced the Oranje Netherlands, also from Europe.
More than 65 percent of fans think Italy can win.
It would have been no more than 55 percent before Italy beat England.
On July 5th, the quarter-finals started one after another.
On the Italian side, Prasedes scored with a header in the 28th minute.
In the 39th minute, Italian midfielder Pellegrini shot a shocking long-range shot to help Italy score 2-0 against the Netherlands.
After returning from the intermission, the Netherlands made large-scale adjustments to their lineup.
Especially the midfield.
All five young Dutch eaglets are on the court!
Previously, only Peterke and Robin Fan had started.
In the 71st minute, Donny Kemp completed the steal and passed it back to Peterke. Peterke launched a direct attack from the backcourt. Robin Fan successfully reversed the offside and hit the ball with a diving header.
The football passed the attacking Audi and successfully scored.
The Oranje will get a goal back!
One to two!
The Netherlands is on the rise!
In the 75th minute, during the Dutch team's corner kick attack, Peterke collided with Italian goalkeeper Audi, and the former received a yellow card.
Audi fell to the ground on the spot.
The team doctor immediately took Audi away after entering the room. The initial diagnosis was that Audi had a fractured rib!
Italy's second goalkeeper Areola comes into play in times of danger.
In the 87th minute, the Dutch team got a single chance after stealing in the backcourt.
Donnie Kemp challenges Arreola on the attack.
Donny Camp shoots!
Areola, who was on the ground, raised one hand high and touched the football, which weakened the speed of the football.
Seeing that the football was about to fly into the goal, Lu Yang, who came back, volleyed upside down and cleared the football out of the penalty area, trying to keep the goal.
Rejected the Dutch team's proposal to send the game into overtime.
Two to one!
Italy won a hard-earned victory.
Although the results did not exceed most people's expectations.
But the scene is still a bit surprising.
Because everyone thought Italy would defeat the Netherlands by a big score.
But the result...
Some experts said that Italy's veteran crisis still exists.
Although these veterans are very capable, the decline in physical fitness is irreversible.
Explosive power, top speed, high-speed endurance, regular running endurance, etc. are all relatively poor.
The Dutch side was originally full offense and full defense. After replacing the five eagles, the whole game rushed.
The old Italy was completely crushed.
If Lu Yang hadn't returned to the midfielder position to help the team defend in the final stage, Italy would have been equalized!
Such a performance gives people an accurate prediction of Italy's strength.
"France Football" believes that it will be difficult for Italy to defeat anyone in the next team.
In particular, it is impossible to beat France and Brazil.
Because these two teams are enhanced or perfect versions of the Dutch team.
The French team also plays full offense and defense, but its players' speed, physical fitness, technology, and coordination are better than those of the Dutch team.
Brazil's attack is fancy and stronger than the French team.
The defense is actually not weak, and their defense generals contributed many famous scenes in this World Cup. While playing, players are being bought by European teams. Basically, two people are transferred at a high price after one game.
But Italy has already begun research on its next opponent.
Even though I don’t know who my opponent is.
But wouldn’t it be enough to study all the remaining teams?
The Modern Football Information Technology Research Center headed by Lola under Lu Yang's name has provided huge help for this. This company is also an in-depth partner of the Italian national football team.
They provide a large amount of game data from the remaining seven countries, as well as game data and video materials of the players in the league.
Without their help, Manero's own team and assistant coaches alone would not be able to complete such a large amount of data analysis.
In the next two days, other games were also settled.
France defeated Uruguay 4-1 and won easily.
Argentina defeated Belgium 5-2 to bring the South American team back into the game.
In the end, Brazil beat Spain 4-0, making the matadors cry.
After the game, the losing players from each team were helpless.
Peterke of the Netherlands apologized for injuring Audi with his header, but it could be seen from his eyes that he would not change anything if it happened again.
Because that was their chance to equalize the score, and he would fight for it no matter how dangerous it was.
People who like him like him very much, and people who don't like him dislike him very much.
But whether you like it or not, you can't deny that he has a chance to become great in the future.
Robin Fan bluntly said that this grouping was the worst for him personally.
He would rather face France and Brazil than Italy.
He had never won against Lu Yang. While he admired Lu Yang, he had also been left with a deep psychological shadow by Lu Yang.
At the end of that game, Moric took the initiative to comfort Robin Fan, hoping that his future club teammate could get back on his feet.
On the Belgian side, Incittens said that the team should not attack Argentina. Argentina's ability to deliver firepower may be the strongest in the world. Coupled with super terminators like Carlisle, they are a strong contender for the Hercules Cup. By!
This sentence is an affirmation of Mateo.
Incitens knew Mateo and his Serie A nickname of Mateo and disliked it very much.
He had watched Mateo play in previous years, and he thought Mateo was inferior to him. Even if I were younger, I could beat Mateo to death.
But this time, Incitens clearly felt Mateo's transformation.
Very strong!
Even at his peak, he might only be able to compete with Mateo.
And in terms of breakthrough alone, Cittens believes that Mateo is already the number one in the world, tied with Moreira and Robery for the number one in the world!
Uruguayan star Roberto Leal, who had spoken out before, said that the French team is not human!
Zizzo's pass and Robelli's breakthrough were unsolvable.
This team even has a chance to beat Brazil!
Roberto Lyle's words still have a certain influence. After all, he was just poached from Villarreal by Atletico Madrid for 36 million and became the core of Atletico Madrid's future defense.
In the end, Spain, which was imitated by Brazil, completely collapsed because of this elimination.
Dominguez made it clear in an interview: "Everything is terrible, we are not united! It is not surprising that we did not enter the semi-finals! Our forwards received less support than Brazil, France, Argentina, and Italy. !”
And Talista, who has always only made trouble on the court, also rarely said: "We are like Brazilians who can't move forward!"
This sentence seems to be praising the Spanish team's high level of ball control, but it is actually because the team's midfielder is unable to send the football to the frontcourt.
Echoing Dominguez’s words.
The two Chelsea forwards fired shots one after another, detonating public opinion in Spanish football.
Later, Ortiz, the core midfielder of the Spanish national team, took the initiative to admit the problems in the midfield: "Our midfield and backfield are a whole, but there is a serious disconnect between us and I love you."
"We have problems, the forwards also have problems, it's due to different styles."
Hernandez, the brains of the Spanish national team and Barcelona, said something that offended people: "Domínguez is undoubtedly the best striker in Spain at this stage, and Talista is also very strong."
"But the strongest may not be the most suitable!"
"We need to have players who can adapt to nine other guys, rather than having nine players adapt to two players."
As soon as this statement came out, the Spanish national team added another controversy to the Spanish passing and control style and counterattack style in addition to the problem of Real Madrid.
One wave comes after another.
The disharmonious midfield and frontcourt are destined to cause offensive constipation.
However, there is a high probability that the Spanish Football Association will eventually favor Hernandez and others. One is that they are large in quantity, and the other is that players from Barcelona and Real Madrid do speak more effectively in the national team than Chelsea players.
In next year's European Cup, Spain is likely to summon several new strikers with a unique Spanish style to replace Dominguez and Talista!
Dominguez and Talista will certainly be dissatisfied with this behavior.
After this series of games, the World Cup semi-finals were born.
Brazil, France, Argentina, Italy.
So far in this tournament, Lima currently ranks first in the scoring list with eight goals and two assists.
Lu Yang had six goals and one assist, and Carlisle had six goals and one assist. The two were tied for second.
Izellet has five goals and five assists, Nerka has five goals and one assist, and Robery has five goals and four assists, tied for third.
Dominguez had four goals and zero assists, and Aveiro ranked fourth with four goals and zero assists. Since they were eliminated, they had no chance to go further.
In the assists list, Zizuo currently ranks first with three goals and seven assists.
Mateo was second with three goals and six assists.
Izellet had five goals and five assists, and Moreira was third with three goals and five assists.
Moric had one goal and four assists, Andres had zero goal and four assists, Robery had five goals and four assists, and Alpha tied for fourth with two goals and four assists.
In terms of the current assists king odds, Zizzo has the lowest odds, but the gap with Mateo, Iseret, and Moreira is not big.
On the contrary, Lima's odds for the top scorer are quite low.
Lu Yang's odds were actually higher than those of Izellet, Robery, and Carlisle.
This shows that... everyone thinks these people will score more goals than Lu Yang.
This is not to question Lu Yang's scoring ability.
But...It's the end of the Italian team.
The remaining three teams, no matter who the Italian team draws, will be difficult to win.
The eight-to-four match exposed Italy's shortcomings at a glance.
…
After the World Cup semi-final groups were released, the discussion around the world became more and more heated.
The World Cup has entered a feverish stage.
Italy VS Argentina!
France VS Brazil!
Europe VS South America!
Is the South American duo meeting in the final in line with the theme of this World Cup in South America and Brazil?
Or will Italy and France meet in the final and repeat the brutal scene of European colonization of South America?
Or maybe the Pampas eagle versus the Gallic rooster, the two birds compete to see who can fly farther?
Of course, there is also a very small possibility that the Azzurri will represent European glory against the Selecao.
Everything is possible.
"Two percent! How the hell do you think everything is possible?" Morich looked at the voting data on his phone, with prominent veins.
Among the above four possibilities, the one with the most votes is the final meeting between the South American duo.
Followed by the double flight combination of France and Argentina.
The support rate for Italy versus Brazil is only 5%.
The support rate for Italy versus France is only 2%!
This shows that everyone is currently most optimistic about Brazil.
Then there's France.
Then there is Argentina.
No more...no more.
The last one named is not considered favored.
Knowing his shame and then becoming brave, Moliqi began to read the information.
The entire Manero coaching staff, as well as Lu Yang, Moric, Praxedes, Ancarelli, Audi and others were in the hut reading information and discussing how to play against Argentina.
Yes, the Audi with two broken ribs is here.
He recovered from the hospital for one day after the operation and returned to the team.
Although he has missed the next game, he doesn't want to leave just like that.
He will accompany the team until the end.
At present, the Italian team as a whole already has some ideas.
"It's started, it's started! Do you want to watch?" Nagy rushed into the tactical research room with his mobile phone. "The match between Brazil and France has already started!"
The first game of the World Cup semi-finals has begun!
"I don't look! Whoever looks is the bastard!" Moliqi worked hard, three bets!
He was nervous.
He was afraid that after watching the game, he would lose his belief in winning.
Because Brazil and France are recognized as the two strongest teams in the world.
It's a pity that they didn't meet in the final.
"I'll go take a look." Lu Yang stood up and pulled Najib out of the tactics research room.
If you don't watch the game, you are a bastard.
There are only three games of this level in four years, so watch and cherish them.
"Fuck!"
As soon as he walked out of the door, Najib cursed: "Ruborg built a point in the penalty area! This..."
The next moment, everyone in the tactical research room gathered around.
Take a look at Hammer’s information.
Wouldn't it be good to look ahead to the opponent in the next game?
This can instead prove our confidence in defeating Argentina.
After everyone convinced themselves, Manero decisively changed the signal source of the projector and projected the game on the big screen.
Then the players and staff of the Italian team came over and started watching the game in the huge tactical research room.
Najib also directed Chiesa, the younger brother of the team, to move two items of beer and prepare some potato chips and popcorn.
I don’t dare to eat indiscriminately at barbecues for fear of getting upset.
At the penalty spot, Zizuo, whose head was getting more and more shiny, began to retreat and prepare for the penalty kick.
There was a whistle, and Qi Zuo helped to run.
Bang!
Brazilian goalkeeper Deda made a flying save.
But football drew a rainbow.
Spoon penalty!
Dang!
The penalty hit the crossbar and bounced into the goal. Then it bounced off the goal and hit the crossbar again before popping out of the goal again.
Qi Zuo's heart felt like he was on a roller coaster at this moment.
From being confident, to being overwhelmed, to being grateful to the God of Football for his favor.
He almost missed the free throw.
Grass!
This series of psychological fluctuations led to Zizuo not celebrating enthusiastically in the first place.
However, the major commentators mistakenly thought that this was a manifestation of Zizzo's big heart, and they all praised: "Zizotou shot Brazil! Leading the French team to take the lead! They entered the World Cup finals with half a foot!"
"Zi Zuo was calm and didn't panic even after scoring such a crucial goal."
"Some people say that Lu Yang is the player with the biggest heart in football, but now, sorry, I think it's Qi Zuo!"
The Brazilian players tried to complain that the ball did not completely enter the goal line, but Deda did not say anything because he could see clearly that the ball entered the goal range at least twenty centimeters.
Sure enough, the referee made no misjudgment and accurately stated that the goal was valid.
However, the Selecao's fighting spirit was extremely strong. In the 27th minute, Brazilian center back David Marinho, who plays for Benfica, headed past the French team's goal during a corner kick attack.
One to one!
No one expected that this score would never change again.
In the duel between masters, the opponent is not given any chance to show off his skills, and all hidden dangers are nipped in the bud.
In the overtime period, the two sides continued to fight fiercely and watched as they headed for a penalty shootout.
But in the 111th minute, the turning point occurred.
After Marinho greeted Zizzo's sister with trash talk, Zizzo ran in front of Marinho, turned around and knocked Marinho to the ground with a headbutt.
Marinho rolled on the ground in pain.
The referee immediately rushed over and showed the red card in front of the whole world, which made the French fans despair.
Even Qi Zuo woke up at this moment.
This reminded him of the Champions League final two months ago.
It is also a key event.
Also a red card.
He subconsciously looked at the court...there was no Lu.
He didn't say much.
He is a man who takes responsibility for his actions.
He never regretted anything he did on the court... except this one.
But the strong and arrogant Qi Zuo didn't show it.
He will not show his vulnerability in front of enemies and outsiders.
But there is one person who can understand his heart.
Lu Yang outside the curtain shook his head and sighed.
French team, no more!
Qi Zuo...will regret it?
Will do!
Will!
When Zizo's back disappeared from the tunnel, almost all fans around the world fell silent except for the Brazilian fans.
It was like a dream.
Zizzo, how could he make such a mistake in the World Cup semi-final against Brazil?
Midfield master has always been synonymous with weakness.
But Zizzo has never been considered a soft player.
Because he is the player who has received the most red cards among the core players with more than 100 goals and assists!
Fourteen pictures!
Messi has one red card in his life.
Iniesta, Xavi, Raul and Platini have never received a red card in their lives.
Ronaldinho one.
Ronaldo three.
Lampard three.
Seven pictures of Terry, the famous villain in the Premier League.
Serie A sweeper Gattuso has seven.
Beckham nine.
Ronaldo nine.
Fourteen pictures, no matter how you rank them, they can all be ranked among the top five in history!
This is enough to prove Qi Zuo's arrogance.
He can control his temper.
But he doesn't.
No need.
He has won a lot.
So he can afford to lose.
But when Zizuo walked into the locker room alone and took off his clothes, he fell into endless silence.
Ten minutes later, an earth-shattering sound came from outside the venue.
Lima's winning goal was playing on the TV in the locker room!
Izellet sent a key assist!
Lima kills with one blow!
He defeated his old rival Zizzo
Lead Brazil to the World Cup finals!
At this moment, Qi Zuo's world became dark.
Throughout his life, he has never been weaker than anyone.
He understands that he is the only person in the world who dares to take the initiative to receive a red card during the stalemate in the World Cup semi-finals for behavior that has nothing to do with the game.
Even if it's the World Cup final, he dares!
Isn’t it the Hercules Cup?
He got it!
There will never be another person like him in the world.
This is where he is proud or arrogant.
Before, he had never felt ashamed. People who understand will understand this unique pride.
He also thought that he would always hold this pride.
Until he saw the Brazilians celebrating wildly on the court and said to the camera the words "Hercules Cup, here we come."
Qi Zuo felt a throbbing pain in his heart.
It turns out...he didn't jump out of these five elements!
He still can't get rid of this worldly fame and fortune!
He is still unwilling!
At this moment, tears of regret overflowed from Qi Zuo's eyes.
This veteran, who is in his thirties but is still the world's number one midfielder, shed such tears of regret for the first time in his career.
If he could do it over again, he vowed that he would never do something so reckless on the court.
God had obviously warned him!
Obviously God made him feel the feeling of leaving the field with a red card in this year's Champions League final!
But Lu Yang saved Qi Zuo.
It also harmed Qi Zuo!
Bang bang bang!
Zizo went crazy and smashed everything in the locker room.
Then he poured cold water over his head.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
Finally, when Qi Zuo raised his head, an unprecedented light appeared in his eyes.
He remained calm, as if he had never been in love before.
But at this time, he was no longer the same person as before.
The prodigal son returns with gold.
Is it too late for a man in his thirties to look back...?
Maybe it's too late.
Because he has passed his physical peak, he has forever lost the opportunity to reach the peak of history, compete with many superstars across time and space, and eventually become a generational football king!
But... maybe it's not too late.
Because his new peak is about to come.
It may be difficult to break history, but it is enough to make him proud of an era again!
…
"Ding! Yadez Zizo has broken through the limits of the times and been promoted to a legendary superstar again! He has become the only player in the legendary superstar stage at this stage, with an overall rating of 101!"
"The legendary superstar section is open, and the list of current legendary players is announced!"
"Name, current overall rating, highest career overall rating"
"Yadez Zizo, 101, 104"
"Nazario Lima, 99, 105"
"Assis Moreira, 99, 104"
"Robery, 99, 103"
"Carlisle, 97, 102"
"Ancarelli, 95, 102"
"Perrotta, 95, 102"
"Igor Luis, 97, 101"
"Gianluigi Audi, 95, 101"
"Plascedes, 94, 101"
"Patrick Platsa, 97, 100"
"Claude Joseph, 97, 100"
"Daniela Madeira, 97, 100"
"Robert Junior, 97, 100"
"Andy Ludwig, 97, 100"
"Oliver Stiepelmann, 96, 100"
"Michael Sauber, 87, 100"
"Ding! Lima has started his own legendary journey, and the current overall rating is 99!"
"Ding! Moreira has started his legendary journey, and the current overall rating is 99!"
"Ding! Robberry has started his own legendary journey, and the current overall rating is 99!"
"Ding! Izellet has started her own legendary journey, and the current overall rating is 99!"
"Ding! Gutierrez has started his own legendary journey, and the current overall rating is 98!"

"Ding! Joseph has started his own legendary journey, and the current overall rating is 97!"
"Ding! Pracha has started his own legendary journey, and the current overall rating is 97!"
…
"Ding! Mateo has started his own legendary journey, and the current overall rating is 96!"
"Ding! Moliqi has started his legendary journey, and the current overall rating is 96!"
A series of data jumped in front of Lu Yang's eyes.
He saw familiar names one by one, and also discovered the strength ratings of these players.
Starting from a 95-year-old superstar, there is a chance to start your own legendary road.
Only when you complete the road of legend can you become a legend.
When the young Michael Sauber had just reached the level of 95, he was astonishing in European football. He followed the World Cup, won the Ballon d'Or, and was promoted to the ranks of legendary superstars.
Although he fell too fast later and is now a second-rate star, wandering in teams such as Manchester United and Liverpool, he has shined after all.
Lu Yang checked it carefully, but unfortunately, he didn't find himself in it.
He has long been aware of this.
Behind the strength beyond ordinary people, one must go through hardships that are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
The World Cup, which is enough to complete the legendary road of each superstar, may be just the first step to start this road for Lu Yang.
There was something in Lu Yang's eyes, as if he had seen a brand new world!
But the premise is that you must first pass Argentina!
