On December 5th, Brazil faced off against Switzerland.
Brazil National Team, who was in better shape, defeated Switzerland National Team 2:1, and Neymar scored the key goal.
Neymar, who scored five goals, is closely chasing Messi, who scored six goals.
England 3:0 defeated Russia National Team without any bloodshed.
Manchester City double stars completed all the goals.
Sterling scored twice, and Foden scored the last goal.
On December 6, the last runner-up Croatia unexpectedly lost to Denmark National Team.
The score of 0:1 made Luka Modric, who participated in World Cup for the last time, hide his face and cry.
This is football. Some people are happy, and naturally some people are sad.
The duel between Portugal and Italy became the final battle of the quarter-finals.
Both sides really deserved the audience and staged a goal-scoring battle.
Cristiano Ronaldo used a long shot and a free kick to help Portugal defeat the opponent 4:3.
The quarter-final matches are all over, and all the quarter-final matchups are out.
Upper half: Spain VS Japan, Brazil VS Denmark.
Lower half: Argentina VS Mexico, England VS Portugal.
As soon as this matchup came out, fans all over the world couldn't help but want to watch the next game.
Although the two duels in the first half were not so bloody, the strong dialogue in the second half fully aroused everyone's taste.
After the eighth quarter of the game, many teams have already gone home.
Qatar The dry weather makes it impossible for many European and American players to adapt.
And soon after World Cup ends, Europe's league and European wars will resume.
I don't know if being eliminated early will be a good thing for them?
The two-day break did not make World Cup's enthusiasm fade away. On the contrary, during the two days of waiting, World Cup's passion made all the fans scratch their heads.
During these two days, all the players of Spain National Team stayed in the hotel and did not leave even half a step.
Although Enrique disdains Japan National Team, in fact, he conducted a lot of tactical analysis on Japan National Team.
Japan National Team's lineup this time, the starting eleven, are mostly players who played in Europe, and some are also the starting players of Top Five Leagues. Their strength cannot be underestimated.
Defender Hiroki Sakai who plays for Ligue 1 Marseille, Bundesliga Arminia Bielefeld's winger Ritsu Doan, forward Takefusa Kubo who is on loan from Real Madrid to Getafe, plays for Premier League Liverpool's forward Minamino Takumi, Daichi Kamada who plays for Bundesliga Eintracht Frankfurt,...
The strength of Japan National Team cannot be taken lightly. With his tough style and South America style of play, there is still a threat to Spain National Team.
The players of Spain also know that this World Cup is their best chance to prove themselves.
Especially for Busquets, this is also his last World Cup performance.
If Spain National Team can win the last FIFA World Cup Trophy on behalf of Spain National Team on his last World Cup stage, then it will definitely be an unforgettable moment for Busquets.
In this lineup of Spain National Team, young players account for a large proportion.
Enrique attaches great importance to the training of young players. After two years of running in, this team has become very mature.
The appearance of Li Mingyu is like a divine weapon from heaven, an unexpected surprise for Enrique.
Originally, when I took over Spain National Team, Royal Spanish Football Federation had given me a predetermined target.
The top four of UEFA European Championship in 2020, and the top four of World Cup in 2022.
However, in the 2020 UEFA European Championship, Spain, Sweden National Team with Ibrahimovic and Poland with Shi Yifeng Lewandowski were divided into a group. As a result, they had two draws and one loss in the group stage, and once again suffered a shameful loss in the group stage.
This shameful record almost caused Royal Spanish Football Federation to fire Enrique directly.
However, after many coordination efforts, Enrique has secured his position as the head coach of Spain National Team.
However, his contract expires on December 19, 2022.
Because December 18th is the day of the World Cup finals.
If Enrique fails to lead Spain to the semi-finals, then December 19th will be the time for him to leave the position of head coach of Spain National Team.
However, at present, Spain National Team led by Enrique has passed all the way and advanced with a complete victory record. In front of them is the opponent in the semi-finals, Japan National Team.
As long as Japan National Team can be defeated, Enrique's mission will be completed.
However, now the entire Spain will definitely not be satisfied with a top four spot.
Because they found their No. 10, their midfield engine, their human weapon.
The rapid growth of Li Mingyu has made Spain fans feel proud again.
Many fans of Spain have already clamored. Do you feel the fear of being ruled by Spain National Team again?
After all, Spain's ancestors were very wealthy.
From 2008 to 2012, in four years, Spain National Team won UEFA European Championship twice, and then World Cup.
At that time, Europe football, and even world football, surrendered at the feet of Spain National Team.
The strange thing is that not many people on the Internet would refute the arrogant remarks of Spain fans.
After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Spain National Team with Li Mingyu is definitely no less powerful than the Spain National Team that dominated the world back then.
However, the higher you hold it, the harder it will fall.
Now Spain National Team has become a thorn in the side of most people.
If Spain National Team makes a mistake in the next game, no matter how much he was praised before, he will be scolded later.
There is an undercurrent of power on the Internet.
On December 9, the quarter-finals of World Cup resumed.
Qatar has once again become the focus of the world.
Qatar, which was already very hot, has now turned into a mountain of flames.
The enthusiasm of the fans completely ignited this mysterious Middle Eastern country.
Bella and Catherine have been coming to Lusail Iconic Stadium since the afternoon, which is also the venue for the final of this World Cup.
Spain National Team is also the second time to set foot on this venue.
The first time was Spain National Team's first match, and the battle with Argentina took place on this field.
The Lusail Landmark Stadium is located in the city of Lusail. Its design is inspired by the sails of a traditional Arabian dhow and is surrounded by water.
Coming to this court again, Li Mingyu and his Spain National Team are full of confidence.
When facing the powerful Argentina National Team, Spain defeated the opponent 3:1 on this field.
Now when facing Japan National Team who is not as strong as Argentina, the players of Spain have a strong psychological advantage.
"This is CCTV. Good evening, dear viewers, and welcome to watch the live broadcast of Qatar World Cup in 2022."
"After two days of rest, the quarter-finals of Qatar World Cup have begun again."
"Today we are going to broadcast live the match of Spain National Team VS Japan National Team."
"Japan National Team, as Asia's trump card, once again broke into the top eight of World Cup. People can't help but sigh that Asia's number one strength is indeed well-deserved."
"In the quarter-finals, Japan National Team faces Spain National Team, who currently has the highest odds of winning."
"Spain's team includes Spain, a young Chinese player who we are very familiar with, Li Mingyu."
"The appearance of Li Mingyu not only makes Spain National Team ecstatic and like he has found a treasure, but also tells us that there are not all Chinese who can't play football, but we haven't discovered it yet!"
The CCTV host had just gotten a little excited. Just as he was about to continue speaking to criticize the national football team, he received a warning from the leader in the headset, telling him not to speak casually.
Zhang Jia showed a helpless smile and was about to introduce the lineups of both sides. However, it was obvious that the passion in Zhang Jia's heart was dispelled.
"Let's take a look at the starting lineups of both sides first."
"Spain National Team's team is still their winning lineup 4-4-2. The goalkeeper is the goalkeeper De Gea who plays for the Manchester United team, and the four defenders are Manchester City who plays for the Manchester United team. Laporte of, Eric Garcia and Alba who played for FC Barcelona, and Jose Gaya who played for Valencia."
"The four midfielders are defensive midfielder Rodri and attacking midfielder Li Mingyu who play for Manchester City, and Busquets and Pedri who play for Barcelona."
"We can find that almost all the starting players in the midfield and backfield are rounded out by Manchester City and FC Barcelona."
"The two forwards are Morata who plays for Juventus and Fati who plays for Barcelona."
"This is also the first time that Fati makes his debut on the stage of World Cup. It seems that Enrique is still very satisfied with Fati's previous performance as a substitute."
"Looking at Japan National Team's starting lineup, Japan National Team's lineup has undergone some changes. Their previous lineup was also 4-4-2. However, facing the powerful Spain National Team, Japan National Team changed to a 4-5-1 defensive counterattack lineup."
"It seems that Japan National Team's head coach Hajime Moriyasu is also very cautious. The goalkeeper sent Eiji Kawashima who plays for Ligue 1 Strasbourg. There are still four months left and Eiji Kawashima will be 40 years old. However, Japan National Team's players pay great attention to maintenance and there are many senior players in the country."
"The four defenders are Nagatomo Yuto and Hiroki Sakai who play for Ligue 1 Marseille, Yoshida Maya who play for Serie A Sampdoria, and Takehiro Tomiyasu who also plays for Serie A Bologna."
"The two defensive midfielders in the five midfielders are Gaku Shibasaki who plays for La Liga Deportivo La Coruna and Hashimoto Kento who plays for J.League FC Tokyo."
"The three attacking frontcourts are Getafe's talented young player Kubo Takefusa, Minamino Takumi who just returned to Liverpool this year and performed well, and Eintracht Frankfurt's midfielder Daichi Kamada."
"Japan National Team's single-arrow figure on the forward line is assumed by Bundesliga's powerful Werder Bremen's Yuya Osako."
"Japan National Team's lineup really makes people sigh when they look at it. Except for Hashimoto Kento who is the 'lag behind', all the other players are players who played for Europe Top Five Leagues, and most of them are the main players of the team."
"Even Hashimoto Kento, who was the 'lag behind', was J.League's best player last season and Japan National Team's first choice in the defensive midfield position."
"Such a Japan National Team, I wonder if they can show their strength in front of Spain National Team, let's wait and see!"
Li Mingyu stood on the court and shook hands with the Japan National Team players expressionlessly. Although he was dismissive of Japan National Team in his heart, Li Mingyu did not show it on his face.
Every Japan National Team player who shakes Li Mingyu's hand will stay in his face for a second or two.
They secretly sighed that it was amazing to have such great achievements at such a young age!
The players from both sides returned to their own half, and today's referee is the referee team from Europe.
International referee Damir Skomina from Slovenia looked at his watch and blew the whistle to start the game on time.
At the moment of kick-off, Lusail Landmark Stadium burst into thunderous applause and cheers.
Everyone has been waiting for two days, and finally, the game is here.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully signing into Lusail Landmark Stadium and obtaining the talent of Japan legendary star Kazuyoshi Miura: Peak Combat Power.]
[Kazuyoshi Miura's talent: Peak Combat Power can enable the host to have a longer peak period and a longer career life.]
Li Mingyu was shocked by this ability.
Kazuyoshi Miura, this name, is a name that Li Mingyu accidentally found when studying the list of Japan National Team these days.
At that time Li Mingyu thought there was something wrong with his eyes and that the information was wrong.
Kazuyoshi Miura, born on February 26, 1967, is still three months away from today and will be 56 years old.
Damn it, 56 years old, professional athlete?
Li Mingyu When I saw this information, I almost threw it away.
Are you kidding me?
The 41-year-old Ibrahimovic has announced that he will officially retire after this season.
Ibrahimovic, has become an evergreen tree in world football.
Li Mingyu I really can't believe what it's like for a 56-year-old middle-aged man to play football on the court.
However, this innate ability is simply an artifact for Li Mingyu.
Let's not talk about extending career life later. Let's talk about the first one: having a longer peak period. This is the ability that a top star hopes to have most.
The career curve of a normal player is an upward slope, then reaches the peak, and then quickly goes downhill.
But top stars will allow themselves to stay at the top for longer, or when they go downhill, their strength will not decline so quickly.
Just like Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, why they are called the absolute pride is because they have been at their peak for nearly ten years.
For almost ten years, these two men dominated almost every individual award in the football world.
This is what a superstar must possess, to have a peak period beyond ordinary people.
In the history of football, countless players with superstar qualities have appeared, but they are often short-lived, because their peak period is only one or two years, or even shorter, like a shooting star, they disappear in a flash!
