Chapter 174 South Africa Is Already Very Far Away
Yesterday we set out from the Cheese Castle in Porto and walked along the Atlantic coast. We stayed in the small town of Condi for the night. We walked exactly 20 kilometers in one day. Today is the second day of the walking pilgrimage for Zhuo Yang and Kou Kou.
Like many other pilgrims walking on this road, Zhuo Yang and Kou Kou also wore outdoor sun hats, silk scarves covering their mouths and noses to prevent dust and covered most of their faces, and travel sunglasses on the bridge of their noses. This kind of dressing can not only block the brilliance of the Iberian summer sun, but also does not appear obtrusive at all. More importantly, their identities can be hidden so as not to attract onlookers.
Two days ago, Zhuo Yang and Kou Kou were playing together in Porto and were discovered by reporters when they were buying outdoor equipment. Although they quickly escaped from the encirclement, the large photos still appeared on the pages of "Competition" the next day. In the report, the smart reporter accurately analyzed the purpose of their appearance in Porto. July to September is the busiest season for the pilgrimage, and it is not difficult to guess that I bought so much related equipment.
In order to stay quiet and protect their delicate skin, the two of them dressed up like this. The effect was indeed very good. Not only did the two of them talk endless nonsense to each other while walking, but the three Spanish men and women from Manresa who had been walking with them for half a day yesterday did not even recognize the person with whom they were chatting enthusiastically. Zhuoyang, Manresa is only 40 kilometers away from Barcelona and is a satellite city of Barcelona.
The man among the three also asked Zhuo Yang: "I heard that Zhuo Yang and Princess Asulgrana are also on this road. Have you seen them?"
"Perhaps we have seen them!" Zhuo Yang replied seriously: "I saw two people walking very fast this morning. They looked very much like Zhuo Yang and the princess. We wanted to go up and say hello but we couldn't catch up. If you walk faster, you might be able to catch up. Get on."
"Really? That's great!" The guy said, "Brother, if you weren't from Liverpool and didn't understand any Spanish, I would have almost mistaken you for the two of them. Hahaha..."
"Zhuoyang, will Cousin Qiao An's matter really not affect you? If it doesn't work, just change the team. Anyway, I will accompany you wherever you go."
"As for the impact... there will definitely be a little bit, but it doesn't matter. After all, I'm just playing football there, not Joan's political ally. Football depends on strength. Russell is not a fool. It is impossible to deliberately target me. If their political grudges are used to implicate me, then Russell's IQ will never allow him to defeat Qiao An."
"That's it...that's good."
Zhuo Yang and Kou Kou rarely talk about football together, and naturally they rarely talk about the ongoing World Cup now. Zhuoyang's World Cup is over. No matter how noisy South Africa is, it has nothing to do with him, and he won't care.
By this time,
The World Cup has already decided the semi-finals, and all the four kings have left South Africa.
Although Robinho took the lead at the start, the Netherlands narrowly defeated the Chinese team's Yu Yong from behind. Sneijder scored twice and the Dutch eliminated the favorite Brazil 2:1. Kaka still did not perform very well in this battle. To put it more narrowly, he, the new No. 10 Samba core, is unqualified.
The Brazilian team played five games in South Africa, and Kaka played four. Two yellows, one red, and two assists were all his data on the surface. Overall, Kaka's performance was far from reflecting his identity. It was understandable that they encountered Real Madrid teammate Detu in the quarterfinals. None of the core players of the Dutch opponents took advantage of Detu along the way, including Zhuo Yang. But Kaka also didn't show much energy in the remaining three games, so there really can't be any excuses.
After the Dutch team suffered from Zhuo Yang and the Chinese team, their championship appearance has been clearly revealed. In fact, the Netherlands has won four of the five games it participated in without any doubt. It was only because of Zhuoyang's incredible penalty bug in the draw with China that it seemed that they almost missed. If the situation is normal, even if all three penalty kicks in the 90 minutes are not scored, the score will be at least 4:0, which is very smooth.
The score within 90 minutes for the knockout rounds was calculated. Because of this draw, the Chinese team was finally ranked 14th in the top 32 of South Africa, only higher than South Korea and Mexico, which also qualified for the second place in the top 16 with 4 points. Japan lost to Paraguay on a penalty kick and was a little better than the Chinese team, so they ranked 13th.
So far, the two dark horses of the World Cup, Paraguay and Ghana, have stopped progressing in the quarterfinals. Villa's 83rd-minute winner gave Spain a 1:0 economic victory. However, Xavi Alonso and Oscar Cardoso were each in the game. He missed a penalty kick, as if he was infected by the Dutch team before.
After Ghana drew 1:1 with Uruguay in the 120th minute, Suarez became Uruguay's national hero. He used a volleyball two-hand block to block Aditya's winning goal at the goal line in the 120th minute. The shot was saved. Although Suarez was sent off, Ji'an's penalty hit the crossbar and Suarez became a national hero.
With this feat, Suarez is finally among the first-line stars, and he is probably not far away from becoming famous.
However, the above is nothing. The most astonishing scene in the quarterfinals occurred in the contest between Argentina and Germany, the two favorites for the championship. Grandpa and Xiaozhu showed their majesty and won with an incredible 4:0. Argentina became a lost cause.
When Argentina conceded the fourth goal, the only person in the penalty area who defended Ozil's baseline was forward Higuain. This shows how bad Argentina's defense is. It is said that in 2010, astronauts could clearly see three things on Earth from space: the Great Wall of China, the artificial coast of the Netherlands, and the holes in the Argentine national team’s defense.
The world champion Maradona was still soft-hearted. The two full-backs Heinze and Otamendi were beaten to scum by the Germans. It was a highway where people like Erti could come and go freely, but Lao Ma just couldn't bear to remove them. There was no other way, the palms and backs of the direct descendants who followed him were all flesh, and the polo king was kind and capable of wielding troops.
To be honest, Argentina no longer has the charming Pampas feelings of those years, and only the bloated old horse still holds the memories of the old fans in the past. However, Messi, who had high hopes, played 450 minutes in all five games of Argentina but failed to score anything. This is really shocking. This is South Africa's biggest upset.
All the four kings of today's football left the World Cup in South Africa early. Among the four, only Zhuo Yang performed as well as he should. His 8 goals not only basically determined the top scorer, but also once again raised the score of the World Cup scorer. standard. Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaká can only be considered reluctant and do not reflect the style of the leaders of their respective teams.
The most disappointing thing is Messi. No matter what the reason is, it is really difficult to justify not scoring a goal.
