Summary of the 2018 World Cup: The world football situation is changing, and China football needs to catch up bravely.

  Xinhua News Agency, Moscow, July 15th (Reporter Liu Ning Su Bin) On the 15th, in a downpour, the French team once again held the World Cup high, and the curtain fell on 2018 fifa world cup. France, Belgium, England and other powerful teams have blown up a youth storm, which has impacted the old world football pattern. Facing the ever-changing world football, China football needs to catch up courageously and realize its dream of stepping on the World Cup again as soon as possible.

  Youth storm "funeral"

  Today’s world football is experiencing the replacement of players. Mbappé, the 19-year-old French team who won the Best Rookie Award in this World Cup, won the Golden Boot Award with six goals, and a group of young players, such as Kane, the English captain who is about to turn 25, and Lu Kaku, the Belgian team, who is 25, shine brightly in the World Cup. The post-90s players began to "grab the class and seize the power", the post-80s players gradually withdrew from the stage, and the post-70s players finished their curtain call performance.

  When I set foot on the Russian arena, the average age of the "Gaul Rooster" team was 26 years and 10 days. In the final, it defeated Croatia 4-2 and held the World Cup high again. France, which won the World Cup in 1998, became the second youngest team to win the World Cup after Brazil, which won the World Cup in 1970 (with an average age of 25 years and 5 days).

  Under the impact of the youth storm, faced with more concise and practical techniques and tactics, the traditional strong teams have been overwhelmed, the defending champion Germany stopped the group stage, the last runner-up Argentina was out of the top 16, the 2010 World Cup champion Spain also failed to advance to the top 8, and the "five-star Brazil" was pulled down by the Belgian team in the quarter-finals.

  On the other hand, the weak brigade without strong generals, relying on the tacit cooperation between players, has kicked out the wonderful things that belong to themselves and also belong to the World Cup. The first round of Iceland’s first World Cup group match drew Argentina 1-1; Also in the group stage, even though Panama lost to England by a big score, it still dared to show its sword and scored the team’s first goal in the World Cup.

  Europe is the only one in Asia.

  Today’s world football pattern is changing, with European football continuing to lead, South American football closely following, and Asian and African football trying to catch up.

  After the group match, among the top 16, there are 10 teams in Europe, 4 teams in South America, Mexico as the only fire in North Central America and the Caribbean, 5 teams in Asia, only Japan, and 5 teams in Africa.

  With the faster competition and stronger confrontation, the differences between players’ individual abilities are narrowing, and the gap between strong teams is also narrowing. In the round of 16, Russia eliminated Spain, Croatia defeated Denmark, and England won Colombia, all of which went through overtime and finally decided the outcome through a cruel penalty shootout. Croatia also staged a penalty shootout in the quarter-finals, narrowly beating Russia. In the semi-final, Croatia suffered its third overtime in this tournament and sent England home 2-1.

  In this World Cup, although Asian football as a whole has not made a breakthrough, its performance is still remarkable. South Korea beat defending champion Germany 2-0 in the final group match, which was a big surprise. After winning a 2-0 lead against Belgium in the round of 16, Japan still fought against its opponents. Although it lost 2-3 in the end, it won respect for its courage to challenge and struggle. In addition, the Iranian team drew the 2016 European Championship champion Portugal in the group stage, and the Saudi team also won a victory in the final group stage.

  After the round of 16, six European teams advanced. Next, with Uruguay and Brazil, the only teams left in South America, going out one after another, the top four seats were all occupied by European teams, and the World Cup turned into the "European Cup".

  In the third place battle, Belgium beat England 2-0 and got the best result in the team’s history. Previously, the best result of "European Red Devils" was the fourth place in 1986.

  Although it failed to achieve its desire to win the championship, the Croatian team, which won the runner-up, also achieved the best result in history, and modric, the core of the team, won the Golden Globe Award.

  VAR is eye-catching and "the hand of God" is hard to reproduce.

  Today’s world football is in an era of change. The application of new technology makes the game more fair. The VAR (Video Referee Assistant) used in the World Cup makes it difficult for Diego Maradona’s "Hand of God" to reappear.

  The biggest change in this World Cup is the introduction of VAR. Thanks to the intervention of scientific and technological means, every moment in the game can be recorded in a panoramic view. With VAR as a guarantee, referees can not only hold a more open attitude towards the scale of players’ physical confrontation, but also greatly reduce the possibility of missing and misjudging.

  However, some football people who have reservations believe that the use of VAR disrupts the rhythm of the game and reduces the suspense and charm of football.

  "The penalty is fair, but the question is who decides the game. Is it the referee on the lawn or the person in the’ little black room’? VAR will make football lose its charm. " After the match between Australia and Denmark, Danish coach Hareide, who suffered a loss, had no objection to the penalty awarded by the video assistant, but he still couldn’t help but say something.

  According to the statistics of FIFA, in the first 62 matches, the judges watched 19 VAR replays and corrected 16 incorrect judgments.

  FIFA President infantino said on 13th that the use of VAR improved the referee’s penalty accuracy from 95% to 99.2%, "16 penalties were changed, and 16 wrong decisions became 16 correct decisions".

  In the final on 15th, VAR once again became the focus on the field. The referee turned to VAR in the first half and awarded the French team a penalty. With this penalty, the "Gaul Rooster", who won a 2-1 lead, then took control of the situation on the field and finally won the championship with 4-2.

  Russia handed in satisfactory answer sheet, FIFA president praised it

  The curtain of the World Cup in Russia fell, and 64 games went smoothly. Russia fulfilled the goal of "showing a new and enthusiastic Russia to the world" when bidding for the World Cup in 2010.

  Russia’s promotion to the quarter-finals inspired the whole of Russia. According to a poll data released by the All-Russian Social Public Opinion Research Center, a Russian polling agency, on the 12th, the performance of the Russian football team in this World Cup made the Russian people feel proud, happy and respected.

  Hosting the World Cup has benefited Russia a lot economically. Devall Covic, Chairman of the Organizing Committee of the World Cup in Russia, said that the comprehensive benefits of the World Cup for Russia are expected to reach 15 billion US dollars.

  The World Cup has also become a window for the world to know about Russia, where fans from all countries (regions) gather together. FIFA President infantino said: "The Russian World Cup is the best in history. The World Cup has changed the world’s view of Russia, and every fan has experienced the enthusiasm of Russians. "

  China element shines in the World Cup, China football needs to catch up bravely.

  Although China was a flash in the pan in the 2002 World Cup, the element of China was never absent. From China manufacturing to China enterprises and China brands, and then to China service, China elements once again shine in the World Cup.

  Come to Russia, "Made in China" can be seen everywhere. China enterprises have made all-out efforts to become a decisive force in the FIFA sponsors’ phalanx. Wanda Group has become a global partner with seven companies including Coca-Cola, Adidas and Hyundai Motor. Mengniu, VIVO and Hisense, together with McDonald’s and Budweiser Beer, became sponsors of the World Cup; Enterprises such as Yadea, Zhi Yi Jing and Di Pai are regional sponsors.

  Inside and outside the Russian World Cup, there are more and more elements of China. However, it is regrettable that China failed to appear in this World Cup. After all, the team is the real protagonist of this world football feast.

  In the face of the ever-changing world football, China football needs to continue to reform, learn the advanced techniques and tactics of world football with an open mind, and "please come in and go out". It is very important to grasp the youth training, lay a good foundation, work hard, make contributions for a long time, and March forward courageously along the road suitable for their own development, so that China’s dream of stepping on the World Cup again will not be far away.

Unfortunately, the loyal minister of Juventus met with the captain of Inter Milan, who had no way to serve his country in Argentina, but became an Italian hero.

# 100 Watching Teams # Throughout the long history of Argentine football, this old-fashioned giant in the green world has never lacked talents. This is obviously a good thing for the Argentine national team. But for some players, it may not be a good thing. For example, Camoranesi, the hero of this article, a loyal Juventus minister with strong personal ability and loyalty, can only accept the fate of serving the country in Argentina because he unfortunately met Inter Milan captain Sanetti, which is extremely embarrassing:

Mauro german camoranesi was born in Tantier, Argentina on October 4th, 1976. Unlike those compatriots who received professional training at a young age in the youth training camps of traditional Argentine giants such as Riverbed and Boca, Camoranesi received youth training at a club called Atletico Alto Silvio. I’m afraid even many old fans who often pay attention to the Argentine League on weekdays don’t know much about this club, which was still hanging out in the Argentine Second Division at that time.

Born in this level of club, the fledgling Camoranesi suffered a lot. Unlike saviola and aimar, who have attracted much attention since their debut, Camoranesi did not get much attention in the first five years of his career, and he tasted the pain of wandering at an early age. He changed his employer five times in five years. It was not until 2000 that he was recruited by Verona as far away as Apennine that his career was slightly stable.

Camoranesi was a qualified right wing before landing in Apennine. He can not only break through with the ball, but also score from a long distance, which can disrupt the opponent’s defense line by himself. Of course, Camoranesi’s teamwork spirit is also beyond doubt. His first choice after a successful breakthrough on the flank is often to send an accurate cross to his teammates. In addition to creating threats on the flank, Camoranesi will occasionally move to the middle, and there will be a stunning direct plug, which will make the opponent hard to prevent.

Under the influence of Serie A, Camoranesi’s defensive ability has made great progress. As long as he sets foot on the court, he will not hesitate to defend physically, greatly reducing the defensive pressure of his own team. Although Camoranesi’s contribution on the defensive end can’t be compared with Nesta’s professional defensive player, Camoranesi has never been the team’s defensive weakness.

As for Camoranesi’s club Verona at that time, compared with the established strong teams like Inter Milan and Juventus, it is naturally not enough. However, the configuration of this team on the offensive line is actually quite good. Besides Camoranesi, he also owns Gilardino and Mutu, all of whom are famous figures in the green world.

Unfortunately, both Gilardino and Mutu were newcomers at that time, and they had not reached the peak of their professionalism. Therefore, Mutu, Gilardino and Camoranesi’s offensive combination are not very effective. Verona, let alone compete for European qualification, even struggled to avoid relegation, and have been hovering on the edge of the relegation zone. After the end of the 2001-02 season, Verona was unfortunately relegated.

Verona’s record will obviously affect Argentina’s attitude towards Camoranesi. You know, Argentina’s national team at that time was full of famous talents. Take the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan as an example. Even Riquelme and saviola, the most important men of the year, will be unfortunately defeated, so Camoranesi, who plays for Verona, will naturally not be called up by the Argentine national team. Even the media that was most opposed to the then Argentine coach Belsa would not take Camoranesi’s failure to participate in the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan as Belsa’s crime.

Fortunately, there are people who know the goods after all. After Verona’s unfortunate demotion, Juventus, a veteran Italian club, extended an olive branch to him and attracted him. It must be explained here that in the summer when Camoranesi joined Juventus, the Italian media generally believed that this new signing was just a substitute for Zambrotta. Zambrotta was unfortunately injured in the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan, and was doomed to miss the beginning of Serie A in 2002-03.

Perhaps even Moggi, known as the "king of transfer", didn’t expect Camoranesi, the new aid of Youwen, to be so fierce. During Zambrotta’s rehabilitation, Camoranesi played a phenomenal performance and locked his main seat in one fell swoop. So when Zambrotta comes back from injury, the Italian native can only look for playing opportunities in other positions. Fortunately, Zambrotta is versatile enough not to worry about having no ball to play …

It was not until this stage that there began to be voices calling for the Argentine national team to recruit Camoranesi. However, then Argentine coach Belsa was still unwilling to give Camoranesi a chance.

As for the reasons, there are probably two aspects: First, it was Camoranesi’s first season when he joined Juventus. Although his personal performance was excellent, at that time, he was not the kind of star player with old qualifications and his influence in football was not too great. Plus Camoranesi was born in a small club like Sporting Civi in Huhardeaux, not to mention his influence in Argentina. As a direct result, even if there are voices calling for the Argentine national team to recruit Camoranesi, the voices are not too many and not too loud. At the very least, it is nothing compared with the call for Belsa to call up Riquelme before and after the 2002 World Cup.

Second, and perhaps more importantly, I met Inter captain Sanetti in Camoranesi. Although Zanetti often played as a right-back during his time at Inter Milan, in Belsa’s 3-3-1-3 tactical system, Zanetti was the right-back avant-garde.

Once Belsa recruits Camoranesi, then Camoranesi’s biggest competitor is undoubtedly Zanetti. At that time, Sanetti was not only in his prime, but also had already proved his strength in the Argentine national team. Whether it was the 1998 World Cup in France or the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan, although the Argentine team failed to laugh at the end, Sanetti’s personal performance was impeccable and was deeply loved by Argentine football. Against this background, it is really difficult for Camoranesi to compete with Zanetti, the captain of Inter Milan.

When Camoranesi had no way to serve his country in Argentina, the Italian national team extended an olive branch to him. Because Camoranesi’s great-grandfather was Italian, it is not difficult for Camoranesi to apply for an Italian passport. So Camoranesi simply decided to play for the Italian national team.

Even if Camoranesi is strong enough to play for the Italian national team, there are still people who sneer at him. For example, fiore, an Italian international, once publicly stated that players should play for which country they were born.

This situation continued until the 2006 World Cup in Germany. Camoranesi, as the main player of Italy, helped the Azzurri win the World Cup successfully and became an undisputed Italian hero. The controversy about whether the Italian team should reuse Camoranesi only subsided.

Also in the summer of 2006, Camoranesi stuck with Juventus, who was relegated to Serie B, and chose to stay with Nedved, Buffon, Piero and Trezeguet, becoming a recognized loyal minister of Juventus. The reputation of "Brad Pitt" is destined to go down in history.

Camoranesi returned to Serie A with Juventus after suffering in Serie B for a year. However, the Calciopoli incident has had a great impact on the Bianconeri, which has lost a lot of main players. As a result, in the first few seasons before Juventus returned to Serie A, the team’s record was not good.

As for Camoranesi personally, with the increase of age and the troubles of injuries, the competitive state of this loyal servant of Juventus has indeed declined a lot. By the summer of 2010, Camoranesi, then 34, waved goodbye to Juventus and moved to Stuttgart. However, the old Camoranesi’s life in the Bundesliga was not happy. It was difficult for him to guarantee his playing time, and he soon changed his family and returned to play in the Argentine League. It wasn’t long before Camoranesi announced his retirement.
