Chapter 26: Unpopularity! From Three Lions to Three Cats!

The third day of the World Cup begins.

The fiery atmosphere is still there.

The third day is the competition between Group C and Group D.

The focus is naturally Group D of the second group of death.

Three teams from England, Italy, Uruguay and Costa Rica gathered together.

The first game is Uruguay against Costa Rica.

Uruguay, which owns Suarez, Cavani and other stars, is much better than Costa Rica in terms of lineup.

Even if Suarez is unable to play due to injury, he still has a huge advantage.

But it’s the same old saying!

The World Cup never lacks for upsets!

At the end of the 90-minute game, Uruguay beat Costa Rica 1:3!

This is an ending that no one expected.

Costa Rica defeated Uruguay, known as the "Green Butcher", and once again caused a big upset.

For two consecutive days, the appearance of two big upsets directly shocked everyone's attention, and no one knows how many people walked onto the rooftop tonight.

This time the upset was even worse than the match between the Netherlands and Spain.

The Netherlands and Spain are similar in strength. Even if they are massacred, there is still a certain probability.

But the situation between Uruguay and Costa Rica was almost one-sided, but Costa Rica unexpectedly changed its fate and defeated Uruguay and won its first victory.

This is an extremely surprising start for the whole of Costa Rica.

Throughout the game, with Cavani taking the lead in scoring from a penalty kick, Costa Rica pulled back three goals in a row, reversing the score in one fell swoop and directly pushing Uruguay into the abyss.

In 90 minutes, Costa Rica forward Hoel Campbell received a high score of 2 and was named the best player of the game.

After the game, Campbell made an intriguing statement in an interview.

"The reason why I performed well in this game should be that my club captain inspired me. In yesterday's game, China 2:0 Chile, I was greatly shocked and inspired by Kai's performance throughout the game. I am very grateful to him! I also hope to play alongside him in club competitions!”

Campbell is using his performance in the World Cup to shout out to Lucky and Wenger.

Campbell joined Arsenal in 2011, but has been loaned out to play games since then and has never been recalled to the team.

Therefore, he wanted to take this opportunity to deepen his relationship with Lucky and at the same time shout out to Wenger.

'look! I beat Uruguay! I defeated Suarez, should I be recalled? ’

Campbell's shout-out supported the big upset and became the focus.

Lucky was cueed, and he himself was very confused.

Because he didn't even know that he had a teammate named Campbell.

Clearly, Campbell was trying to get close.

However, Lucky did not respond because Wenger had already responded.

Shortly after Campbell's call, Wenger took to social media to respond.

He said Arsenal will recall Campbell next season.

In other words, Campbell will officially enter the Emirates Stadium next season.

Of course, even after defeating Uruguay, he was still Suarez's substitute.

But Campbell doesn't care about these things, as long as he returns to Arsenal.

After all, Arsenal is already very popular now. With their performance last season, many people predict that Arsenal will once again compete in the Champions League in recent years.

The match between Uruguay and Costa Rica comes to an end.

But the upset doesn't stop there.

In the next game between England and Italy.

When the British media frantically promoted the strength of the 'Three Lions', they lost to Italy 1:2.

The Three Lions, who had a top-notch lineup, suffered a defeat at the hands of Italy, which made the world's media laugh out loud.

As for the English media, no matter how hard they brag before the game, their faces will hurt after the game.

This even gave rise to the nickname ‘Three Meow Legion’.

From a distance it looks like a lion, but up close there are two or three big cats and kittens!

All major media are mocking the English media, saying that they like to promote players and lineups, and England is far from being as strong as imagined.

The strength of the players is just a gimmick promoted.

'England Hype Team', 'Three Cats Army' and other derisive terms have been used.

Lucky also watched this game, and he shook his head at England's performance.

There was a lot of slack in the lineup, and although they had double virtues, the two of them were pros and cons. Although only one Gerrard was played to partner Henderson, and they moved out of Liverpool's midfield system, the effect was very little.

Rooney still works hard, but how much of what he sees in his eyes is the shadow of his youth in Juma?

After this game, the dissatisfaction of the angry English fans also broke out.

The first to bear the brunt is the combination of Gerrard and Henderson.

In the first two games, the Chinese team's Lucai told the world what it means to control the overall situation!

Costa Rica's Tejeda explains what it means to be an iron waist.

In comparison, the performance of Gerrard and Henderson was a bit too bad.

Some extreme British fans even put up slogans calling for Lucky to be recruited into the England team to criticize England's midfield problems.

Of course, this is only a small fermentation and has not received much attention.

At least Lucky doesn't know.

The continuous upsets have made this World Cup full of suspense.

For most fans, they were so happy. Without the participation of the home team, they felt that the more chaotic the World Cup was, the better.

This would be more exciting!

But in the end, it was shown that the chaos only existed between Group B and Group D.

The next few games were all carried out step by step.

France 3:0 Honduras, winning the game without bloodshed.

Argentina 2:1 Borussia, boss Mei performed amazingly, and Argentina showed amazing offensive ability.

After a little stability, another big battle came.

Germany vs. Portugal.

The seeded team Germany and Portugal led by C Ronaldo fought a big battle.

This was a game that everyone was looking forward to.

But the game was somewhat unsatisfactory.

In the 12th minute, Thomas Muller scored a goal with a penalty kick, which brought some unusual atmosphere.

In the 32nd minute, Kroos assisted Hummels to head the ball and scored the second goal.

This became the turning point of the game and also the fuse.

In the 37th minute, Pepe was sent off with a red card.

This is undoubtedly a double whammy for Portugal, which was already lagging behind.

Portugal had no choice but to play with 10 players.

In this case, facing the powerful German team, even Ronaldo could not change his fate.

When the 90 minutes were over, the German team had scored four goals, while Portugal had no goals.

After the game, Ronaldo's eyes revealed fatigue and helplessness.

In this game, Ronaldo played with injuries. With his physical problems, he could not help the team complete the counterattack.

This made him both self-blame and helplessness.

On June 18, with Russia and South Korea tied, the first round of the entire World Cup group stage ended.

Throughout the first round of the group stage, there were frequent upsets.

Especially in Group B and Group D, the qualifying situation was confusing.

Strong teams suffered Waterloo one after another!

Dark horse and old six dance!

But without giving people any breathing space, the second round followed.

The first game of the second round of the group stage was still the match of the host Brazil.

After the victory in the first round, Brazil wanted to continue its winning streak.

But Mexico obviously disagreed.

Mexico deployed a five-defender bus formation to snipe Brazil's attack again and again.

For a full 90 minutes, Brazil failed to score a goal.

In the end, the two sides drew 0:0!

After the game, the coaching staff of the Chinese team hurriedly summoned the players to the meeting room.

Head coach Liu Hongbo looked at the tactical board.

The tactical board showed the (4-4-2) formation.

The classic double forward, defensive counterattack formation.

Liu Hongbo said; "This is our lineup for the next game. This lineup can attack or defend, and the most important thing is that it can be changed like this!"

After that, Liu Hongbo stuffed all the chess pieces except the two forwards into the penalty area!

The entire tactical room was silent.

Lekai grinned and said secretly; It's so dirty!

The other players had the same expression, but they would not refuse.

This is the stage of the World Cup, and the opponent is the powerful Dutch team.

As long as they can maintain a draw and win, why not deploy the bus?

That's right, after the Chinese team changed its formation, it was the famous bus formation.

8-0-2!
