(Qatar World Cup) Tournament preview: The Japanese team wants to win two consecutive victories, and the German team starts a life-and-death battle

　　China News Agency, Beijing, November 26 (Reporter Wang Zumin) On the 27th local time, the World Cup in Qatar will bring the second round of Group E and Group F contests.

Among them, the Japanese team, which upset the German team in the first game, is expected to win two consecutive victories and get a promotion spot in the "group of death" in advance; the strong dialogue between the two European giants, the Spanish team and the German team, may send the German team back home early. Family.

　　In addition, whether the last third runner-up Belgium team and the last runner-up Croatia team, which performed poorly in the first round, can make a name for themselves in this round of competition is another highlight of the day's competition.

　　Japan VS Costa Rica (18:00 Beijing time on the 27th)

　　In the first round of the group stage, the performance of the Japanese team was amazing.

Facing the 4-time cup champion Germany, they scored 2 goals in a row behind 0:1, making them one of the best teams in the first round.

Its coach Mori Yasuichi's formation and on-the-spot substitutions are also known as a stroke of genius.

　　Before the start of this cup, Moriyasu mentioned many times that the goal of the Japanese team this time was to enter the quarter-finals, which was considered to be nothing more than rhetoric before the game.

Today, the Japanese team proves that they are "real" with their strength.

　　Costa Rica, the biggest dark horse in the 2014 World Cup, has lost its courage in the past, and suffered a humiliation of 7 goals from Spain in the first game.

The 35-year-old "Goal God" Navas scored a game-low 3.9 points.

In the 2014 World Cup, the "Nadu Wall", who made many outstanding shooters daunting, was one of the biggest contributors to the team's advancement to the quarter-finals. His ups and downs also reflected the reality of the team's deteriorating situation.

　　Eight years ago, the Costa Rican team became famous for breaking through in the "Group of Death". Eight years later, the "Group of Death" may really become the "death" place of "Pirates of the Caribbean".

　　Belgium VS Morocco (21:00 Beijing time on the 27th)

　　In the first game, the Belgian team's starting lineup included De Bruyne, Hazard and many other "golden generation" players from 8 years ago. Although the Belgian team won 1:0, the process of the game proved that the "golden generation" old.

　　Facing the 41st-ranked Canadian team in the world, the second-ranked third runner-up in the world only took 9 shots, less than half of the opponent's (21 shots).

If it weren't for the Canadian team missing a penalty kick, if it weren't for the young "Maple Leafs" lacking experience and luck on the unfamiliar World Cup stage, the game would probably be another upset.

　　The Morocco team, ranked 22nd in the world, has the vast majority of players playing for European clubs and is known as the most European-style African team.

In the first game, they drew with Croatia 0:0, showing their impressive strength in the midfield.

　　In this campaign, the Belgian team urgently needs to prove themselves in the game, but the Moroccan team is not a soft persimmon that can be kneaded.

As De Bruyne, a member of the "Golden Generation", said, the Moroccan team is a very good team. Their starting 11 players basically play in the Premier League, Ligue 1 and Serie A. It's tough."

　　Of course, it is not easy for the Morocco team, which lacks striker ability, to win by surprise. If they can draw their opponents again, it may be the best ending.

　　Croatia VS Canada (0:00 on the 28th, Beijing time)

　　If the Belgian team is "inexpensive and old", then the last runner-up Croatian team is weak.

Although Modric, the winner of the Golden Globe Award four years ago and the soul of the Croatian team, is still in the team, without the assistance of Mandzukic and Rakitic, the 37-year-old "Magic Flute" is difficult to sing alone.

　　In the first game, the "Lattice Legion" was tied 0:0 by the Moroccan team and fell into a passive position of qualifying for the group.

Because at the end of the group stage, the Croatian team will face the strongest Belgian team on paper, and it will be even more difficult to win.

Therefore, the Croatian team must strive to win this campaign.

　　But the Canadian team obviously will not easily fulfill the wishes of the Croatians.

In the first game of the group stage, they lost 0:1 to the Belgian team. The "Maple Leafs" who returned to the World Cup after 36 years won more praise for their vitality and momentum. Croatia team.

　　But the young Canadian team still lacks enough experience and the ability to finish the goal, which may become an opportunity for the Croatian team to win their first victory in this cup.

　　Spain VS Germany (3:00 on the 28th, Beijing time)

　　Due to an "accident" in the first round of the competition, the strong dialogue of the "group of death" became a life-and-death battle for the German team to arrive ahead of schedule.

　　The two teams had a very similar situation: both were European giants, both were eliminated in the group stage as defending champions, and both were in a period of renewal.

But in the first game, the encounter between the two teams was a combination of ice and fire: the German team lost 1:2 to the Japanese team, and the Spanish team beat Costa Rica 7:0.

　　It can be seen from the first round of matches that the Spanish team has basically completed the transition from old to new, and a group of talented, passionate, and aggressive young players have made the "Matador Legion" full of vitality.

However, the "Germanic Chariot" seems to have not yet driven out of the trough of being out of the group in the last cup, and lost its former strength and speed.

　　One ebbs and another, the German team seems to be at a disadvantage.

But never underestimate the tenacious fighting spirit and enterprising spirit of the Germanic nation.

In this life-and-death battle that started in advance, the German team will definitely fight hard to defend the four-star glory on the chest of its jersey.

　　Therefore, any result of this strong dialogue between the two traditional giants and the cup champion team is reasonable.

But if the German team loses again, it may be out of the group stage in two consecutive cups.
