(Qatar World Cup) Group Stage Summary: The backs of those who left are amazing

  China News Agency, Beijing, December 3rd (Reporter Gao Kai) The World Cup is held every four years, and the stage is bright again.

After the lively group match, in addition to the "strong players" left behind, the backs of those who left are also amazing.

  farewell with regret

  "If this is my last game for Germany, I would like to thank the fans." As Germany's active player with the most caps, 33-year-old Thomas Müller hinted that he will bid farewell to the national team after Germany's exit .

  As a veteran of the four World Cups, Muller has experienced the glory of the German team, but in the end, he left with the embarrassment of not qualifying for two consecutive World Cup group matches.

In this World Cup, Muller still failed to score in three starts in three group matches.

  The same veteran of the four dynasties also had Suarez. On the evening of the 2nd local time, the tears of this veteran wet the hearts of too many people.

Suarez saved Uruguay 12 years ago.

Twelve years later, when Uruguay only needed one goal to beat South Korea to qualify, the 35-year-old Suarez had been substituted. At the end of the game, he covered his face and wept.

  From breaking into the cup in 2010 to reaching the semi-finals, in the South American powerhouse Uruguay, Suarez is undoubtedly the most representative figure.

Faced with the regretful farewell before him, the super striker bluntly said that he felt "sad and disillusioned".

  In another game a few days ago, the "British Derby" between Wales and England was not as intense as expected, and the "Three Lions" won the game without any suspense.

As one of the greatest players in the history of the Welsh team, Bell, who started the game, was replaced due to injury after halftime and could only sit on the bench to accept the fate of the team being out.

  Returning to the World Cup for the first time in 64 years is a proud achievement for Wales. The legendary Bale was finally able to participate in his first World Cup, but it may also be the last.

Regardless, Bale has fulfilled a childhood dream of taking Welsh football to unprecedented heights.

  prologue pause

  In addition to being a stage for veterans to bid farewell, the World Cup is also a place for newcomers to debut. Some new stars may not have a long enough performance time, but their brilliance cannot be concealed.

  Born in August 2000 in Ghana, Koudus showed his talents in the World Cup for the first time. In the game against South Korea, he scored a goal in each half and became the first player in the history of the Ghanaian team to score twice in a single World Cup game.

Kudus can play any position among the three forwards, and has outstanding ability to grab points and finish.

Although the Ghanaian team eventually missed the group stage, for the 22-year-old Qudus, the curtain has just opened.

  Ecuador's young midfielder Caicedo also impressed people in three games. The 21-year-old player has taken on the responsibility of organizing the team's offense. Combing and defense are inseparable. In the battle against Senegal, although Ecuador eventually lost due to insufficient overall strength, Caicedo's offensive and defensive performance in the game has been favored by many European giants.

  Canadian teenager Davis became famous two years ago. In the World Cup group match against Croatia, Davis scored the fastest goal since the start of the World Cup and the first World Cup goal in the history of the Canadian team. .

  At the end of the day, Davis' first World Cup trip ended in a hurry after the group stage, but as the core of the national team, the 22-year-old is not only amazing with his speed and skills on the court, but also as a defender, he is stable and has a big picture Looking at it, it shows the talent of a general.

  Opportunity to rebuild

  The German team, which reached the top in Brazil eight years ago, fell to the bottom in Doha. The "German Chariot" has been unable to break through the group for two consecutive World Cups.

The German team’s trip to Qatar was doomed to be bumpy from the first match of the group stage. In the “Group of Death”, they first lost to the Japanese team in an upset, and then drew with the Spanish team. And finally out.

  Four years ago, the German team, which went to the World Cup in Russia as the defending champion, also stopped in the group stage.

The fall of the German team has already begun since that time. From style to skills and tactics, to the replacement of personnel, Germany has been struggling for rebirth in the past four years. However, the facts have proved that the "Germanic Chariot" is still in the "darkest moment." .

Once upon a time, the German team had groped for the road to rebirth in the trough, and now, it may have reached a historical node of deep restart.

  Two days ago, Belgium finally lost their last hope of advancing to the last 16 with Lukaku's fifth close shot.

The "European Red Devils" bid farewell not only to this World Cup, but also to the once glorious "Golden Generation".

After being eliminated, team coach Martinez said he would leave.

  Martinez became the head coach of the Belgian team in 2016. Talented players such as Hazard, De Bruyne, Lukaku, and Courtois emerged. These star-studded names later became what people call the "golden generation" ".

  This team, which once dominated the world rankings for a long time and now ranks second in the world, has entered the quarter-finals in the past four major major competitions.

  However, as some key players are getting older, the Belgian team showed a clear decline in the World Cup in Qatar. The barely earned one win and one draw are not enough to open up the way forward.

Martinez's departure means the final end of Belgium's "golden generation".

  And as the years turn over the page of the "golden generation", it is time for the "European Red Devils" to discover new hope and vitality.
