Chapter 547 Chapter 545: Cruel penalty shootout!

After the start of the game, Brazil launched a fierce attack on Chile by virtue of its superiority in strength.

In the 305th minute of the first half, Maicon made a cross from the right and was blocked by Contreras. He took the team's sixth corner kick on the right.

The football flew backwards, and the Brazilian central defender Juan, who was ambushing at the back point, leaned on the opponent's defender and scored with a header!
The football flies to the upper left corner of the goal!

Chile goalkeeper Bravo failed to stop the football from entering the goal, [-]-[-]!

After the game restarted, Chile launched an attack and stuffed the football into the Brazilian penalty area. Brazil's goal hero Juan made a big foot clearance in the penalty area and the football flew towards the Chilean half.

Brazilian forward Fabiano headed back to Robinho on the left, and Robinho dribbled the ball back from the side and countered with a low pass.

Kaka faced the incoming ball at the top of the arc in the penalty area, put his right foot through, and the football flew into the penalty area!

Fabiano turned offside and passed Bravo, who was attacking the tackle, and pushed the empty goal five meters away from the goal on the right!
Two to zero!
Brazil extended its lead.

In the No. 14 minute of the second half, Brazil launched a quick counterattack again.

Brazilian midfielder Ramirez steals the ball near the middle circle and drives straight in, breaking through to the front of the penalty area and knocking horizontally!

Robinho flew to kill, took the football into the restricted area of ​​Chile, and 13 meters away from the goal with a right-footed arc shot!

The football sticks the right post and drills into the goal net!

Three to zero, Brazil has secured the victory!

In the end, Brazil defeated Chile without bloodshed and reached the quarter-finals. They will compete with the Netherlands for a ticket to the semi-finals.

However, the British Guardian published such an article: According to a reporter from Brazil’s “Folha de Sao Paulo”, Corriver once said: “Now, only winning the championship can save Dunga. Even if he is a runner-up, Dunga will be scolded to death by the Brazilian media.”

The reason is that Dunga is not satisfied with the media in all aspects except his record.During the World Cup, Dunga whispered foul language at the press conference but was amplified by the microphone, which made Dunga a public enemy of the media.

The earliest reason for Dunga's hostility with the media was Dunga's insistence on defensive counterattack.In the mid-term of Dunga's coaching, that is, before and after the Olympics, Dunga's ugly style of play failed to achieve good results, which led to verbal criticism from the media.

In the world preliminaries, Brazil drew 0-0 with Argentina at home. The dull scene made the nearly [-] fans watching the game unbearable.Fortunately, after Dunga returned from the Olympics, he became the coach with his impressive record.

Another thing about Dunga that made the media unbearable was his selection.On March 3 this year, Brazil beat Ireland 3-2 at the Emirates Stadium.

This game is the last warm-up match for the national team before the end of the league. After this game, Dunga also confirmed the World Cup lineup framework. He hinted that he would not choose Ronaldinho and Pato again.

The players Dunga chose were players who performed poorly at the club.Dunga satirized reporters at the post-match press conference at the time and said: "I am surprised that people regard us as favorites, because from your newspapers, the Brazilian players who play in Europe are bad players."

Dunga didn't lie. In his team, many important players were frustrated in Europe.Take Kleberson, who was finally squeezed into the list, as an example. Kleberson was the main player in the knockout round of Brazil's 2002 World Cup championship, but after landing in Europe in 2003, his performance in all aspects plummeted.

2005年克莱伯森被折价卖给贝西科特斯，2008年又回到巴西弗拉门戈。在刚刚结束的巴西3-0击败智利的比赛里，克莱伯森在第81分钟的时候替换卡卡出场。

Kleberson's appearance is a different kind of miracle. The usual reason is that when people go to high places, Kleberson can be regarded as getting lower and lower in the club, but he can still return to the "high place" of the national team.

After Kleberson played, he became a double midfielder with Gilberto Silva. This combination was the winning combination in 2002.

In 8 years, the ability of players will decline with age. Silva has long been unable to adapt to the high intensity of the Premier League and left Arsenal, but Dunga ignored this and let such a veteran be the main force.

There are not many players under Dunga who have gone downhill like Gilberto, or have performed poorly in the past season. The core players Kaka and Robinho are typical examples.

Kaka performed poorly in Real Madrid, and almost didn't play much games due to injuries in the second half of the season. Some media even listed Kaka as "the second parallel importer in La Liga".

And Robinho was swept out by Manchester City and was loaned to Santos. Robinho is a bad boy in the eyes of the British media. In the past year, Robinho only scored one goal in the league.

In the current Brazilian national team, Fabiano, who scored goals like weeds, was plagued by injuries last season and missed nearly half of Sevilla's games.Midfielder Melo performed poorly at Juventus and was considered a poor signing.Elano has been unable to gain a foothold in the Premier League Manchester City and was sold to Galatasaray last season.

Now that Dunga does not lead Brazil to the championship, the media in Brazil will never let him go.

……

Both Brazil and the Netherlands are ahead of their opponents in terms of strength. There is little suspense for them to advance to the next round, so the next two quarter-finals will be full of suspense.

Who will qualify, Japan or Paraguay?

This is difficult to predict.

Who will qualify, Spain or Portugal?

Spain had a bad start to this World Cup, losing one goal to Switzerland. Fortunately, as Harvey's condition recovered, they won all the last two games and were able to advance as the first in the group.

Portugal, led by Cristiano Ronaldo, is in the death group. They advanced with one win and two draws in second place in the group.

Who can eliminate the opponents of the two teams?

Will Ronaldo break out in this game to prove himself?
These are all suspense.

At four o'clock in the afternoon on the 29th, the match between Japan and Paraguay was held at the Loftos Stadium in Pretoria.

Neither of these two teams has advanced to the quarter-finals of the World Cup. No matter who wins, they will create their best results in the World Cup.

After the start of the game, the two teams did not rush to improve the rhythm of the game. Both sides tried to control the game, and did not give the other side more offensive space in defense.

Neither side scored a goal in nine 10 minutes and could only enter overtime.

In half an hour of overtime, the two sides still failed to score a goal and could only enter a more brutal penalty shootout.

In the first two rounds, players from both sides scored football penalties, but in the third round, Yu Komano hit the crossbar with a strong shot!
Paraguay scored the remaining two rounds of penalty kicks, and finally won the penalty shootout with a score of [-] to [-], breaking into the quarterfinals of the World Cup in history.

So far, the two Asian teams that have reached the top [-] have been eliminated.

And Ghana, the only African player to reach the top [-], has become the only team in the top eight that is not from Europe and the United States.

This also shows the status quo of today's world football - Europe and the United States dominate the world!
