(Qatar World Cup) Event Preview: Against Poland, France is expected to enter the quarter-finals, "Double Lions" against England is more optimistic

　　China News Agency, Beijing, December 3 (Reporter Wang Zumin) On the 4th local time, the Qatar World Cup will continue to bring two 1/8 finals.

The defending champion France and Poland led by Lewandowski, the "Three Lions" England team and the "Tlanga Lions" Senegal team will fight each other to compete for two top 8 seats.

　　Although injuries damaged half of the main players, the French team still showed the strong background of the defending champions. It not only broke the curse of "the defending champions are out of the group", but also became the first team to advance to the top 16.

　　In the group stage, the French team beat Australia 4:1 and Denmark 2:1 and qualified ahead of schedule. They changed their lineup at the end of the game and waited for work. They lost to Tunisia 0:1.

　　Leaving aside the battle against Tunisia, which lacks evaluation value, the French team scored 6 goals in the first two games, and the luxurious striker led by Mbappe deserves its reputation.

But conceding goals in two consecutive games also fully demonstrated the impact of the absence of midfielders such as Kanter and Pogba due to injuries on the French team's defense.

　　The Polish team advanced to the top 16 this time, thanks to the success of the group opponents.

In the final match of the group stage, it was precisely because the Saudi team and the Mexican team fought and contained each other for the team's victory that the Polish team benefited from the game and finally squeezed out the Mexican team with a goal difference advantage.

　　Judging from the performance of the group stage, the Polish team led by Lewandowski was lackluster.

As the world's top striker, Lewandowski's strength is beyond doubt. It is precisely because of his pass and shot that the Polish team scored two goals in the group stage.

However, due to the gap in the overall strength of the team, Lewandowski lacks sufficient support and support, and his role is greatly reduced.

　　Therefore, although the French team is still suffering from injuries and downsizing, the impoverished Polish team may not be enough to withstand its attack.

The top scorer of the French team, Mbappe, has scored 3 goals in the group stage, and whether he can score again this time is also a highlight.

　　England VS Senegal (3:00 on the 5th, Beijing time)

　　Based on the birthplace of modern football and one of the best football leagues in the world as the cradle, the England team has always been the favorite to win the World Cup, but the performance and achievements of the "Three Lions" in the past often did not match their worth and reputation.

　　But this time in Qatar, the England team proved with their strength: this time, they are really strong.

　　At present, the England team has completed the replacement of the old and the new, and there are no players born before 1990 in the team.

The "post-90s" who participated in the last cup, such as Kane and Sterling, are in their prime. The "post-00s" such as Saka, Foden, and Bellingham are already able to take on major responsibilities, and they can be called the middle age of the top 32 One of the most well-structured teams.

　　In the group stage, the England team beat Iran 6:2, drew with the United States 0:0, and beat Wales 3:0. The number and the Spanish team became the team with the most goals in the group stage.

　　The Senegal team, participating in the World Cup for the third time, advanced to the quarter-finals on its debut in 2002, but then fell silent.

In the 2018 World Cup in Russia, the "Lion of Telanga" returned to the World Cup stage after 16 years but failed to qualify for the group stage.

　　In this World Cup cycle, the Senegal team has made rapid progress, ranking 18th in the world, and is considered one of the "dark horses" of this cup.

But before the game, the team's top star, Premier League Golden Boot Mane retired due to injury, which greatly reduced his strength.

　　In the group stage, the Senegal team defeated the host team Qatar 0:2, the host team Qatar 3:1, and the "Plateau Devil" Ecuador team 2:1. Performance is average.

But in the 3 games, the team has conceded goals, even in the face of the underdog Qatar, the goal is not guaranteed, and its fragile defense is worrying.

　　Therefore, when the "Tranga Lions" face the "Three Lions", the England team is even more optimistic about the winner of this "Double Lions" battle.
