Chapter 1757 Math Problem

The League Cup in England is over, and the attention of the entire football world is gradually shifting from here. With the major league seasons coming to an end, there are countless grievances, hatreds, and championships waiting for fans to watch.

In this case, a short week of national team competitions has called a stop to all the lively leagues.

Yes, maybe for other Intercontinentals, this national team match day is just a daily friendly match. Some young players who perform well on weekdays will get the opportunity to play in the national team, but that's all.

But for Asia, the final round of the top ten, which will determine the quota for the 2014 World Cup, is about to start.

Whether it is Group A or Group B, there is still suspense about the final promotion places at this moment.

However, for the Chinese team in Group B, the suspense here is the biggest.

After all seven rounds are over, the current ranking of this group is at least in the top three positions, which is very anxious.

The Japanese team ranked first with 16 points, the Australian team ranked second with 13 points, and the Chinese team ranked third with 13 points with a gap of three goals. The direct gap between the three is at most only 3 points.

Behind them, Iraq with 4 points and Oman with 0 points were confirmed to be eliminated early.

Now, in the final round of the top ten, the format of the duel is this: Japan VS Australia, China VS Oman.

The teams from the two major Asian countries will have a crucial matchup at home, and the result of this round of matchup will directly determine which two teams will advance directly, and which team will compete with the third place in Group A for half of the promotion spots.

At this time, it is natural to come to the favorite math problem of the Chinese media, and the media soon gave several possibilities for the Chinese team to advance.

First of all, the most simple and direct algorithm, Australia loses, then the Chinese team only needs to draw to qualify. Facing Oman, which has not even scored a point in Group B, it is still playing at home. This does not seem to be difficult.

Secondly, there is a draw between Australia and Japan. In this case, the Chinese team must beat Oman. If they draw or lose, they will become third in the group because of goal difference or points.

And if Australia beats the Japanese team, the Chinese team must win, and not only win, but also must maintain a point difference of at least three goals, that is, win by a big score.

In addition, once Australia wins and China also wins, another interesting picture will appear in Group B, that is, the Japanese team will have the same 16 points as the two teams.

Such a possibility made Japan quite panic. In the previous World Cup qualification competition, they have never encountered a situation where they may play in the play-offs in the final round of the top ten.

Before the game, the coach and captain of the Japanese team directly expressed their determination in an extremely serious way in the interview: "We will never hand over the possibility of our promotion to others."

This sentence is easy to understand, that is, Japan will definitely smash the Australian team at home, and will not release water to kill China because the Chinese team beat itself at the Yokohama Stadium.

After all, for the Chinese team, due to the losing streak in the early stage of the competition, they finally handed over the initiative of advancing to other players.

What they can do now is simple and clear, that is to beat the Oman team as much as possible at home. Only in this way can they maintain the greatest possibility of promotion.

These discussions and math problems have already begun to spread in China. After the news of Liu Feng's victory is over, the only thing left for the Chinese fans is this one round.

In Europe, obviously, not many media paid attention to these matters. At most, some English media selectively reported some of these news because of Liu Feng.

However, compared with the sad and hesitant reports of the Chinese media, these British media acted more like Liu Feng's hardcore.

They directly used the text translated by the domestic reprinted media into "Feng returns to China, the ten-year World Cup dream of the eastern power may be reunited" as the title, obviously quite confident that Feng will lead the Chinese team to participate in the World Cup next year.

Even the president of FIFA expressed his optimism for the Chinese team in an interview: "Although the overall strength of the Chinese team is a little weaker, but with players like Feng, they will have no problem entering the World Cup."

Obviously, compared to the Chinese fans who can only watch Liu Feng's games through screens and broadcasts in China, these European footballers who have seen how Liu Feng plays with their own eyes have great confidence in him.

Liu Feng, the person involved, didn't see much of these reports and speeches. He didn't drink at the team's championship celebration party on the night of holding the trophy, and then boarded the flight back to China the next day.

In this game, the home team of the national team chose the capital BJ. The Chinese team will face the Oman team who came to challenge at the BJ Workers Stadium. Therefore, the players naturally flew to BJ from all directions early to start preparing for the game.

As one of the few overseas players of the team, when Liu Feng arrived at the BJ team's training base, other team members had already arrived. Under Camacho's suggestion, he only had some recovery training on the first day to adjust the impact of jet lag.

During this day, Liu Feng naturally received a lot of congratulations from his teammates for winning the English League Cup. Although England has only played in the domestic cup, these players who have never had the opportunity to play clearly know that their gold content is much higher than the domestic cup.

As for Liu Feng, he chatted more with the team's overseas players after greeting these teammates.

Wu Lei's Piacenza was eliminated in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, and now the team is working hard for the Coppa Italia and the top four in the league.

Zhang Yuning is now completely established as the main force in the Piacenza reserve team, and has also had the opportunity to come off the bench in some games of the first team.

As for Wei Shihao, he was officially signed by the Serie A Viola as a first-team player, but he has yet to get the chance to play.

In contrast, Lin Liangming may be the most talked about among the several young players. This young player was valued by the Castilla youth training camp, the cradle of Real Madrid's superstars. He was directly introduced to the team at the age of 16.

Now adapting to Castilla, he is making rapid progress. There are constant reports about him from Spain. Real Madrid seems to be interested in loaning him to their satellite team Almeria next season.

All in all, the development of these players is quite good.

From this point of view, China's great cause of studying abroad has really opened up the situation, and the things Liu Feng did were not in vain after all.
