Latest URL: After the World Cup came to the quarter-finals, the schedule became two games a day.

Italy, of course, arranged their own game time in the prime time of the evening, and the afternoon game was left to Ireland and Cameroon, the biggest dark horse of this year.

If this World Cup does not have the invincible attitude of the Chinese team, then the dark horse Cameroon will definitely shock the world!

In fact, even under the sun-like light of the Chinese team, the Cameroonians also showed their own sense of presence.

Originally, Cameroon almost defeated England in the quarter-finals.

If it wasn't for the fact that the defense was too young and inexperienced, and Lineker succeeded twice at critical moments, then the Englishman would really become a stepping stone for Cameroon.

But Great Britain on this plane is obviously in bad luck. Although Ireland has created the best record in team history, compared with Cameroon, the representative of African football, it is actually at a disadvantage from beginning to end.

In this game, Uncle Mira, known as the "African Sun", still played as a substitute, but the rest of the main force came out. From the very beginning of the game, Cameroon launched a fierce offensive that overwhelmed the Irish.

This is why the Cameroon team is loved by everyone. They do not play more and more conservative and utilitarian defensive football. The style of this team is full of the freedom and wildness of the African grassland.

The athletic ability of these Cameroon players is also obviously better. Although they are not technically delicate enough, they are enough to make the Irish team, which lacks stars, helpless. some opportunities.

Of course, it was also the lack of delicacy and experience that caused the Cameroon team to gain momentum and not score in the first half, and missed many opportunities to score goals one after another, which caused the Chinese team in front of the TV to sigh frequently!

"The old African buddies are too excited, and the technical moves will become rougher at critical moments!"

"Each of them has some problems with basic skills, many habits are not good, and the experience in the competition seems to be very lacking, but they can really run and rush. This will almost destroy the Irish team!"

"But this alone is not enough. They obviously played more and more chaotically. The Irish team slowly began to adapt to the rhythm. There were already several opportunities to threaten the goal in the final stage of the first half. Uncle Mira really deserved it in the second half?"

"..."

The Chinese players could see that the Cameroon team had been working hard, and then it was declining. If they continued to play like this in the second half, they would probably be hit by a fatal counterattack by the Irish.

Sure enough, in the second half, Uncle Mira came on the field. As soon as the 38-year-old and the second-oldest African star in this World Cup came up, Cameroon's offense immediately improved significantly. The young lads will soon have a backbone.

The Irish should experience what a true leader can do, because they were completely overwhelmed by the Cameroonian's methodical offense, which would not only prevent counterattacks, but also improve Cameroon's defense. The improvement of the African leopards made it difficult for the Irish team to pass through aggressive steals and interceptions.

At this time, Uncle Mira also staged a performance that shocked the world. He first sent a wonderful pass after completing a dribble in the 60th minute, helping the team that had been gaining momentum and not scoring, and finally broke through the door of the Irish team.

Since then, he has been fighting for a long time, and he was forced to overwhelm the opportunity when the Irish broke the boat. Through a counterattack, he personally made a point and sent the Irish team to hell.

In the end, with the amazing performance of Uncle Mira, a 38-year-old veteran, the Cameroon team unexpectedly became the first team to break into the semi-finals in this tournament.

After the Cameroon team also became "the first African team to reach the quarter-finals of the World Cup", it once again turned this milestone into "the first team to reach the quarter-finals of the World Cup".

This achievement is actually not inferior to the performance of the Chinese team in the 1982 World Cup. Although the Chinese team entered the World Cup for the first time at that time, Cameroon had already entered the World Cup for three consecutive times.

"Fuck, African football is about to take off!"

"This feeling is even scarier than when we ranked fifth in the World Cup for the first time!"

"Don't tell me, this Uncle Mira is really awesome!"

"I heard that he didn't officially receive football training until he was 16 years old, and he was still an unreliable youth training in Africa. You said that if he came to our alien school for training before he was ten years old, how amazing would it be!?"

"Hey, now we have a chance to play against Cameroon. By the way, we haven't played against African teams in the World Cup, have we?"

"..."

The Chinese team really hopes that the Cameroon team will advance to the semi-finals, because they also came from poverty and backwardness, and even now they are far from rich, so they can empathize with the difficulties faced by this African team along the way. .

So they hope that Cameroon and North Korea can go further. Unfortunately, the North Korean club fell to the top 16, but fortunately, Cameroon is really dark enough, and it has tenaciously reached the top four.

Italy says they are very white. They don’t have a trace of black in this era. In a word—very pure!

But the very white Italian team faced the weakest opponent they had chosen, and it was the Mexican who once had the upper hand in the whole game.

This is actually not a surprise. Italy is extremely utilitarian in this tournament, especially after entering the knockout round.

Although the Mexican team's paper lineup is a little worse, they are a second-tier team after all, no matter how weak they are, how weak can they be?

This is also a contest between the first tier and the second tier under normal circumstances. Many times when encountering a situation where the style of play is against each other or the tactics are crushed, the second tier team will not only not be at a disadvantage, they can completely beat the first tier. A class of teams.

And a situation like the Chinese team, which can easily crush other first-tier teams, is beyond the normal category. They can really be classified as aliens.

Today's Italian team is obviously in a mediocre state, especially the two strikers Baggio and Schillaci, who seem to be wasting opportunities more than anyone else.

Facing the shells sent by the midfielder, the two either stopped the ball and stopped it big, or they traveled all the way to give the ball to their opponents.

The shooting accuracy of the entire frontcourt seemed to be aimed at France. A bunch of anti-aircraft guns and crooked handles made the Chinese players in front of the TV shake their heads.

Mexico's offense was obviously better today, thanks to their better preparations and better player status, so even the Chinese team thought that Mexico could knock out the hosts in an upset.

But the host is the host after all, and today the solid defense of the Italians did not perform abnormally.

Although Real Madrid striker Hugo Sanchez scored a one-handed goal that was not offside in the second half, the goal was forcibly blown away by Italy's home court advantage.

This decisive goal was ruled invalid, which seriously hit the morale of the Mexicans!

With the excellent performance of the defense line, Italy did not allow the Mexicans to get a chance to threaten the goal. In the end, the two teams drew in regular time.

Both sides were a little afraid of the "Golden Ball" rule in the overtime match. As a result, they shook hands again after 30 minutes of caution, and the game was finally dragged into a more brutal penalty shootout.

Now the Chinese team is in good spirits. After all, the "penalty shootout" is the most exciting part of a football game, especially the penalty shootout after entering the quarter-finals of the World Cup. Every game is full of legend.

Because the teams that can reach this stage almost all have world-renowned well-known stars. After all, even Cameroon has a world-class influential Uncle Mira.

So the penalty shootout in this kind of game often means: there must be a superstar on one side who will become another tragic hero because he fell on 12 yards.

And it was the Italians who were victors today, and their young striker, Roberto Baggio, a melancholy talented rising star, became the winner on the crucial third penalty despite frequently squandering chances in regular time. The final hero.

Because before his free throw, Real Madrid's main striker Hugo Sanchez actually kicked the football off the crossbar on the third free throw.

This also caused the active Mexican No. 1 star to instantly fall from the clouds of national heroes and directly fall into the bottomless abyss of national sinners.

Roberto Baggio became the hero of the whole of Italy because of this crucial penalty, and was crowned the new prince of Italian football in this battle alone.

"This is really a reincarnation!"

Wu Jie couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene, but it's a pity that the reincarnation in football is too fast, often only a few years before turning the hourglass upside down and rewriting the spring and autumn.

But in any case, relying on the advantages of the host country and the better young generation, the Italians advanced to the semi-finals without any risk.

On the second day, the media all over the world reported on Cameroon, which shocked the world. Compared with Italy's poor performance, it was really not worth mentioning.

In addition, tonight's match between China and England is naturally the most attractive match, and the match between West Germany and Brazil in the afternoon, which should be rated as a five-star matchup, has not received much attention outside the two participating countries.

This also shows that the situation in world football has indeed changed. The old football powerhouses such as West Germany and Brazil are not only far less traffic than China, but even Cameroon has not even had as much traffic these days.

But it's no wonder that everyone is too lazy to watch the games of these veteran football powers. Who made even the "art or death" Samba Army become utilitarian this year.

Not to mention West Germany, the aggressiveness and aggressiveness of the top three European teams with neutrophobia over the years has almost been beaten into a "defensive counterattack" by the Chinese team.

Therefore, the enjoyment of this strong dialogue is really not very good. On the one hand, Brazil, which has become less unrestrained, and on the other hand, West Germany, which is unwilling to take the initiative to attack.

Needless to say, even in regular time, they dare not let go of their hands and feet to fight each other. Facing the "golden ball rule" of sudden death in overtime, the two teams must have stabilized to the end, and finally it was another exciting penalty kick big fight!

At this time, the young German goalkeeper Bodo Ilgner, who dedicated 8 effective saves in the whole game, transformed into the wall of sighs of the Brazilian team and saved the Brazilian's first penalty kick as soon as he came up.

This time, the Brazilian, who was not good at psychological aspects, collapsed on the spot. Another Real Madrid striker, Carreca, was weak in the third free throw. Let Real Madrid become the biggest loser in this World Cup.

"Brother Haonan, the two forwards in your club are too lazy, right?"

"Brother Haonan, why don't you recommend Qin Yi to Real Madrid Club, I think this kid is more reliable than Careca!"

"Haha, no wonder your Real Madrid can't beat me this season. Your two strikers are too old. If you don't update them, I will create a Barcelona dynasty!"

"..."

Lin Yaodong smiled the happiest at this moment, but what he said was true.

Real Madrid’s successive losses in the season are indeed related to the instability of the front line~lightnovelpub.net~ Hugo Sanchez and Antonio Careca are both 30+ veterans. Although they still maintain the tail of their peak, it is a long season in Real Madrid Under the multi-line combat, this kind of veteran's state must fluctuate greatly, especially in the European war, he often loses a game and directly G.

"Real Madrid and Barcelona are rotten fish and rotten shrimp. I advise you to focus on the game for a while. Although the English are more stinky, they are not dead after all!"

Ruda's knowledge of Real Madrid and Barcelona is indeed rotten fish and rotten shrimps. Who made the basketball teams of these two clubs have played against his Bayi men's basketball team back then.

As for England today, in the eyes of Lu Daguan, it is basically at the level of dead fish and crabs.

But Ruda's desire to attack today is very strong. This is not because the British girl is very white, but because he seems to have never trampled on England, whether it is basketball or football!

So for such a fresh opponent, the officials of Lu are of course excited!
