325 The World Cup begins

"Senna, long pass...right, Poborski gets the ball."

On June 2002, 6, the top sixteen knockout rounds of the World Cup.The Czech Republic is in Group B of the World Cup alongside Paraguay, South Africa and Slovenia.Although the Czech Republic won the World Cup spot through the play-offs in the World Cup qualifiers, its strength should not be underestimated.In this group, they are completely outstanding. In the end, they passed the group stage with two wins and one tie.

Although history has changed a lot, France, the biggest favorite before the World Cup, is still sinking.Heat kills, especially in the World Cup.In the past few years, the world dominant French team was wiped out in the World Cup group stage.Of course, the destruction of France is a good thing for the Czech Republic.After all, France is too powerful, even stronger than Brazil.It's just that a strong and popular team like France was eliminated, which surprised many people.

The Czech Republic came first in Group B and met No.2 Ireland in Group E.It was a very good draw for the Czech Republic.Ireland was very tenacious in the group stage of this World Cup, drawing with Germany and Cameroon one after another to reach the top [-].Ireland's lineup is not too bad, most of their players play in the Premier League.Their strongest should be their strikers, Quinn and Robbie Keane.

Needless to say, Quinn is the most famous center forward in the Premier League.His partnership with Kevin Phillips was once famous in the Premier League, making many Premier League defenders frightened.And Robbie Keane is the representative of young fame in English football. At the age of 20, he was already worth 300 million pounds.

But very famous.But their combined strength is not that strong.Quinn was indeed the best center forward in the Premier League. Few defenders in the Premier League can compete with this high center forward.Especially in terms of headers, Quinn is the best. Even central defenders who are as strong as Campbell, Adams, and Ferdinand are unwilling to face Quinn.It's a pity that that was Quinn back then, and now Quinn will be 36 years old soon.His physical strength has declined too much, and he has reached the age of retirement.There is no longer the physical strength and physical strength of the past.

As for Robbie Keane, it is true that he became famous at a young age, but at the age of 20 he went to Inter Milan at a high price, and instead wasted a year there.Although he performed well when he returned to Leeds United recently, he did not return to that stage of the year.

In addition, Roy Keane, Ireland's biggest and most powerful player, did not enter the World Cup list because of his relationship with Ireland's head coach McCarthy.Ireland is now relying on the overall style of play.

Unfortunately for the Czech Republic.Ireland is really the best opponent.Ireland's players are about the same level.Especially their defense is even more so.Although the strength of O'Brien and Gary Breen is not the top, they are also Premier League-level central defenders.Gary Kelly and Ian Hart are both Leeds United's main full-backs.

They are all good, but they all have their own problems.Gary Kelly suffered serious injuries, and his physical condition is not as good as it was back then.And Ian Hart's biggest problem is his lack of speed.

Ian Hart's frontal defense is good, his passing ability is better, and of course he has a beautiful free kick ability.But his biggest problem is his explosive power and speed.And this loophole was caught by Bruckner.Bobowski is 30 years old.At the peak of his career.His body, technique, and experience are all at their peak.

After receiving a pass from Senna.First stop the ball.Wait until Ian Hart steps forward.Popowski sprang into action.Although Poboski is not as fast as Irving, Dyer, and later Walcott and Bell, he is also a speedy wide player.His lightning-fast breakthroughs on the wing have always been his magic weapon.Compared with small technical speed is his strong point.

This time is no exception.When Poborski got up to speed, Ian Hart couldn't keep up.Ian Hart's explosive power and speed are not his strong points.Of course it is a disadvantage to meet Poboski now.

"Pobowski, Ian Hart can't keep up with Poborski. Poborski is already past, no one can stop Poborski. Popowski, cross."

The history of Poborski as a player is very interesting.No matter how well he plays in the club, he is alive and well as soon as he arrives in the national team.And the closer he gets to the World Series, the better he will perform.As long as he can participate in the World Series, he can basically enter the best team of the competition, which is not easy.

"Kohler, Jan Kohler. Jan Kohler, shake your head and hit the goal!"

The Czech Republic is a single striker, that is, Jan Koller is at the top.Jan Kohler, now 29, is Quinn a few years ago, just as good as he was back then.Even better than him.Because Jan Koller has more championships than Quinn, and he surpasses him a lot in confidence.

Poboski and Jan Koller have been partners in the national team for almost five years, and they are very familiar with each other.Jan Koller is very familiar with Poboski's crossing route, so when Poboski made a cross, Jan Koller ran to the front point.Facing Gary Breen's defense, Jan Koller took the lead in provoking a direct header shot.

"Jan Koller's header was powerful, the distance was too short. Shay couldn't save the ball!"

“goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Only 4 minutes into the first half, the Czech Republic led Ireland [-]-[-] with Jan Koller's header. Although the Czech Republic entered the World Cup through the play-offs, they performed very well in the World Cup. Although Ireland performed well in the group stage Not bad, but after all, it is lack of strength. After the start of the game, the Czech Republic has an absolute advantage."

The moment Jan Kohler scored, both Rist and Merkley stood up and applauded.The reason why Obst was kicked off the stage was because he failed to enter the European Cup. For the young Merkley, the better the Czech Republic performed in this World Cup, the better his results and the more stable his position. .From what it looks like now, the Czech Republic should be able to defeat Ireland and enter the quarterfinals.The quarter-finals of the World Cup is already a very good result for the Czech Republic.

For Rist it's a different story.The better the Czech Republic performed in the World Cup, the more money Rist could make.It's just that the Czech Republic has not encountered a substantial strong team so far, and the gold content of entering the quarterfinals is not very high.But it's better to be in the quarterfinals than not to be in the quarterfinals.

"Bawell, we have good luck in this Korea-Japan World Cup."

Rist stood up and applauded, while smiling at Merkley.Merkley also nodded.It's really lucky, so far I haven't met a strong team.

"Rist, any champion in the world is accompanied by strength. It is impossible for the champion of any major competition to be lucky."

"Correct."

Rist thinks so too.And just as the two were laughing and chatting, suddenly there was another loud cheer on the court.Rist and Merkley were taken aback for a moment, looking down, it turned out that the Czech Republic scored another goal in just 23 seconds after the kick-off.

The goal this time was Borg, who replaced Nedved in the starting game.Borg is the most talented player among the Czech 96 golden generation, surpassing Nedved, Poborski, and Smicer.It's a pity that Borg's fate was unlucky, and he came to the most powerful Dortmund, but he didn't get any chance to play.Finally, he entered Liverpool with his performance in the 96 European Cup.

He started well in Liverpool, Liverpool fans are very fond of Borg.It's a pity that his relationship with Liverpool coach Evans soon deteriorated and he began to become a substitute player again.It wasn't until Houllier came to Liverpool that he began to be taken seriously.Houllier has said Borg is the best left-winger in world football.

Nedved back then as a substitute for Borg.It's a pity that such a talented Borg suffered too many injuries and failed to achieve the expected results.This is the knockout round of the World Cup, so it turned out that it was not his turn to play.However, Nedved had some ankle pain during training. Although it was not a big problem, Bruckner still let Borg play for the sake of being conservative.

Borg lived up to expectations.Just after Ireland kicked off, it was intercepted by Senna who stepped forward before he could advance.After entering the World Cup this time, Senna is the best performer among the Czech internationals.From the beginning of the group stage, Senna performed so well in the midfield that even covered Rosicky's light.Of course, it is also because the opponent is too weak that it has something to do with Senna's frequent advances.

Cena passed the ball directly to Borg on the left.Borg faced Kelly on the left, and after a few shakes, he lifted his foot and shot at a normal angle.With a golden left foot, Borg is the best left-footed player in the Czech golden generation.Ji Wen couldn't stop the heavy cannon.

"Two to zero, two to zero. Borg's shot made Ji Wen helpless. Although Ireland was very tenacious in the group stage, it can be seen from this game that their strength still has a lot of flaws ...If Roy Keane was in midfield, it wouldn't make Ireland's midfield so passive."

"Coach McCarthy was wrong. He didn't take Roy Keane and ruined this hopeful Irish team."

"McCarthy should be dismissed."

Those commentators in Ireland were very dissatisfied.Compared to McCarthy, Roy Keane is the real star in Irish football.McCarthy did not bring Roy Keane, and Irish football was in an uproar.Now seeing that the Irish midfielder is completely crushed by the Czech Republic, they miss Roy Keane even more.

"Win. We won."

After Borg scored, both Rist and Merkley were completely relaxed.Because the Czech Republic will soon be in the quarter-finals of the World Cup. (To be continued..)
