Focusing on | Mero's last World Cup, who can realize the dream first?

This World Cup may be the last World Cup of Messi and Ronaldo, from the group stage group, Argentina and Portugal group qualification is indeed not difficult, but with the first few qualifying in the group, this is very important. Compared with the progress of the game between the two teams, it seems that Messi seems to be relatively easy than C Ronaldo...

Can Messi realize his dream in Qatar?

Argentina drew with Mexico, Poland and Saudi Arabia in Group C, which is a completely acceptable group for Argentina, and all Argentina has to do now is to avoid mistakes in the 2018 World Cup in Russia and strive to win the first place in the group, otherwise it is easy to encounter France in the quarter-finals and repeat the tragedy of the last World Cup.

Argentina did not meet germany and the Netherlands, the strongest teams in the second pot, nor did they meet the African champions Senegal in the third pot that everyone did not want to draw, and finally met Saudi Arabia, which everyone in the fourth pot wanted to draw, which is certainly not a sign.

Mexico, which is in the same group as Argentina, can be said to be the weakest team in the second division that everyone wants to draw, and it is a blessing for Argentina to not draw a European team in this position. Mexico coach Martino was once the Argentine manager, has a certain understanding of Argentina, and once took Messi with Barca, although there have been rumors that the relationship between the two is not good.

Mexico qualified second in North America and the Caribbean, sharing the same points as Canada, only to fall behind due to a small goal difference. Martino led Mexico to a poor start in the final eight-round match in North America and the Caribbean, and suffered a sacking crisis after drawing with Panama and Canada, but Mexico eventually qualified with unbeaten at home, but Mexico was defeated by Canada and the United States, which also finished out. Judging from the current strength of Mexico, there is a certain gap with Argentina, and it is difficult to prevent Argentina from winning the first place in the group. Of course, Mexico has good foot skills and a certain ability to control the ball, and there are similarities with the characteristics of Argentina, which is a difficult point for Mexico to deal with.

Argentina encountered the three strong teams is the European powerhouse Poland, in the three pots of the team belongs to the middle team, the strength is not as good as the African champion Senegal and serbia in the European zone to qualify first in the group, Argentina met Poland is a draw in the third gear team. The Polish team has the current world-side Levan in the seat. Poland won the World Cup against Russia without a fight with the play-offs, and then eliminated Sweden to enter the World Cup, the team is characterized by having Levan, there is not much merit except for the Bayern center- and the group did not qualify in the European Championship match played 8 months ago, such a team is also difficult to create too many threats to Argentina.

In the end, Argentina's encounter with Saudi Arabia is arguably the weakest team in the fourth pot that everyone wants to draw, and it is the top team in the fourth pot, and the team avoids encountering two African teams and the team that finally qualified for the European zone play-offs. And Argentina's first game is to play the weakest Saudi team, which also helps the team to gradually enter the state, which is a good ranking.

Argentina's coach Scaloni said humbly after the draw ceremony: "I am neither happy nor sad, we should be based on thinking about ourselves, we should have full respect for all opponents." Mexico, which we had at the 2006 World Cup, was able to get past it with a goal from Maxi extra time, and they have a World Cup tradition. Poland is a team with well-known players. Saudi Arabia is a team that has played quite well in qualifiers. Our opponents are hard to play. ”

What Argentina has to do now is not to make mistakes in the group stage, because once Argentina falls to second in the group, it is likely to meet The seeded team France of Group E in the quarter-finals. Argentina finished second in the group at the last World Cup, having been eliminated 4-3 by France in the knockout rounds.

Argentina are expected to be much smoother after finishing first in Group C, and perhaps they will not meet a real favourite until the semi-finals. Argentina may first encounter Denmark or Tunisia in the 1/8 final, the opponent is not a traditional strong team, and then in the 1/4 final to encounter the possible Group A first Netherlands, the current Netherlands is not up to the level of Germany, France, France, England, Spain and Portugal, only in the semi-final will have a high probability of encountering one of the three strong teams of Brazil, Spain and Germany. Judging from the possible elimination process, Argentina also drew a lottery.

It's not that the wrongdoers don't get together

In the 2022 World Cup group draw, Portugal landed in Group H, with Ghana, Uruguay and South Korea in the same group as the Five Shields. In the quarter-finals of the 2018 Fifa World Cup, Portugal was eliminated 2-1 by Uruguay. The narrow road is narrow, the Qatar World Cup, the two teams are divided together. At the World Cup in Russia, Portugal and Iran, an Asian team coached by former coach Queiroz, were in Group B, and the two teams drew 1-1. This time in Qatar, portugal will face South Korea, an Asian team coached by another former manager, Paul Bento, in the group stage. This time facing the predecessor, can Portugal escape the day? Ghana, Uruguay and South Korea are all tough, and the group stage is enough for Portugal to drink a pot.

On 24 November, portugal will play ghana in the opening of the group. On 28 November, the Army of the Five Shields will reunite with Uruguay. On 2 December, portugal fought South Korea in the final battle of the group. Coincidentally, in the 2018 World Cup Group B match, Portugal also played against Iran coached by former coach Queiroz in the final round. Coincidentally, Ronaldo has a very stiff relationship with Queiroz, and his relationship with Paul Bento is not very good. Portugal has a vendetta against South Korea. In the final round of Group D of the 2002 World Cup, South Korea defeated Portugal 1-0, making portugal's "Golden Generation" group unable to qualify. In the group stage of the 2014 World Cup, Portugal and Ghana were in the same group and won 2-1, but neither team was able to qualify.

For the results of this group, but some Portuguese media analysis said that Portugal has nothing to complain about, and Portugal is obliged to qualify for the group. If Portugal qualifies as group H first, it will most likely meet second in group G in the quarter-finals in Switzerland, Serbia or Cameroon. While avoiding the possible first Brazil team in Group G, the winner between Group F first and Group E second will be encountered in the quarter-finals, possibly Spain, Germany or Belgium. The second half of the zone may be stronger and more difficult to play, and it is difficult for the Portuguese team to break through.

Portugal coach Fernando Santos, in an interview with Canal 11, the official TV channel of the Portuguese Football Association, said: "This is the draw, we have drawn teams from 4 continents. It's 3 teams that we're not used to. Especially in South Korea and Ghana, we know less. I'm familiar with Korea because Paul Bento coached there. We have to be very careful and we have to know these teams in advance. ”

Santos was not pessimistic about the results of the draw. He said: "It is like half a glass of water, which can be seen as half a cup full, or it can be seen as half a cup is not full." If referenced in the previous World Cup, Uruguay are favourites. If you look at the world rankings, portugal have an advantage. We can't forget Ghana and South Korea, which are playing very well. Paul Bento led the Korean team to a good result. ”

For being assigned to Group H, the first match of the group was played on November 24, and Santos was also satisfied. "This avoids some problems. The players can only leave their respective clubs on November 14 to report to the national team, and it would be too nervous if they played the World Cup on the 21st. The players have played a lot of games at the club, so the preparation time for three or four more days is very good. ”
