With Spain's withdrawal, all the semi-finals of the World Cup were also placed.

There is China, the founding country of Cuju, France, the World Cup champion 20 years ago, England, the birthplace of modern football, and Belgium, which has never won any championship (except for the men's football champion in the 1900 Olympics...).

Even if you are blind, you can see that the Chinese team's winning of the championship is almost a foregone conclusion. Major bookmakers have already closed the handicap for the Chinese team to win the championship. The odds for France, England and Belgium almost all reached 1-100 or above.

At this time, only the purest patriots will resolutely invest their hard-earned money on their national team!

French coach Deschamps, who has always been considered a favorite to win the championship, said in an interview with great modestness:

"We came to the semi-finals and have proved that French football is on the right path to revival. As for the championship, that's not what we are thinking about."

Belgian star Hazard also said:

"As long as you can stand on the stage of the finals, it will be the biggest victory of Belgian football."

Whether it is true or not, France and Belgium have made winning the runner-up as their ultimate goal. From coaches, players, media, and fans, no one dares to announce in public that they want to win the championship!

Of course they can say this because their semi-final opponent... is not the Chinese team!

But what to do in England?

Do you also want them to surrender here?

Three Lions head coach Southgate looked worried at the pre-match press conference:

"There is no perfect thing in this world. God never creates perfect things. In fact, I have already discovered that both the Chinese team and Chen Hao have obvious weaknesses."

The reporters couldn't help but feel excited.

If three years ago, the head coach or player often provoked Chen Hao, and then was staged by the latter to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, then in 2018, when his historical status was determined, no one dared to put his old face before Chen Ritian slapped...

Even Chen Hao became interested.

Only Southgate said slowly:

"The weakness of the Chinese team is very obvious, that is, most of their players are very amateurs. As for Chen Hao's weakness... that is, there is a lack of protection for the midfield and backcourt."

The reporters sneered disdainfully.

Even Chen Hao shook his head.

Southgate shrugged:

"I heard your ridicule and felt your disdain. Yes, I am not the only one who discovered such weakness, but what's the use?

We know that the Chinese team is not a solid piece of cake, but what can we do?!

The Chinese team is the champion! Chen Hao can make a team invincible by himself!

Even if he leads ten pigs, he can easily hold the Hercules Cup!"

-

Southgate's remarks caused a stir.

After careful and scientific analysis, some experts came to a terrible conclusion:

"This is England's psychological tactic!"

England has no way to defeat the powerful China from the front, and can only rely on sow discord to divide the opponent!

It is true that Chen Hao is an invincible overlord in the world, but what can he do if the ten teammates who start the game are separated from him?

No matter how powerful he is, can he stop his teammates from playing football in his own goal?!

-

It has to be said that if it is a normal football world, if the opponent's head coach praises the role of a player in this way, it will more or less cause other players to be disgusted, and it may indeed cause cracks in the opponent's team.

But... what is the Chinese team today related to the word "normal"?

All the players here have undergone strict political and ideological education, and almost everyone can carry explosive bags and rush into the crowd to commit suicide. How can Southgate's provocation and disagreement shake their will like steel?

Not only did Chen Hao not ban the players from commenting, he took the opportunity to guide him:

"I don't deny that I am the absolute core of this team, and I am the most critical factor in this team's ability to get to where it is today, but I never think that I can get everything by relying on myself alone, otherwise I would not have to carry out such a large-scale cleaning and reform in the national team.

You are my strongest teammates, but our opponent, England coach Southgate, looks down on you, he will definitely pay the price!”

Southgate must not know that the words he used to divide the enemy were actually used by the opponent's commander to motivate the soldiers!

He will definitely regret it!

July 10.

Four days after the quarterfinals, the first semi-finals of this World Cup have officially begun.

The French team and Belgium fought desperately for the glory of the World Cup runner-up, and the scene was once extremely tragic.

Although the Gallic Rooster is full of talents: Griezmann, Pogba, Mbappe, Kante, Dembele, Giroud, Matuidi, Varane, Umtiti, Lemar, Fekier, Jinpenbe, Toliso, Mendy, Lucas Hernandez, Lori... Every player is enough to stand alone. Players like Benzema, Martial, Lacazette, Koman, Rabiot, Bakayoko, and Mousa Sissoko can be abandoned by Deschamps without hesitation.

But the European Red Devils are not vegetarians: Hazard, Lukaku, De Bruyne, Mertens, Bashuai, Carrasco, Fellaini, Witsel, Moussa Dembele, Kompani, Vertonheng, Aldevilde, Vertonheng, Courtois... If you only look at fame, you will not be inferior to any team!

Almost all players on both sides play in the top two leagues - La Liga and Premier League. They don’t know how many times they have played against each other, so they can be considered to be aware of it. Therefore, after the game started, they directly carried out the most intense attack without any temptation.

But in major competitions like the World Cup, every team is extremely cautious. No one really dares to give up defense and make a big attack. The French team is guarding against Hazard and De Bruyne, and Belgium even stares at Griezmann and Mbappe. The main players of both teams almost cannot get enough space.

It was not that both sides did not have offense and shooting, but the score in the first half was still 0-0.

After the game entered the second half, as the players' physical fitness was exhausted, their attention could not be as focused as they were at the beginning of the game, and mistakes and opportunities appeared occasionally.

But the ones who solve the game are still not the most famous superstars, but the seemingly inconspicuous defensive players.

In the 63rd minute, Griezmann took a corner kick, and French defender Umtiti grabbed the front point in the crowd, and unexpectedly headed the ball to break through Courtois's ten fingers!

Hazard, who was behind one goal, led Belgium to launch a counterattack, but they were unable to break through the midfielder defense line composed of Kante and Matuidi, and could only watch France advance to the finals without any effort!

Hazard could only comfort himself:
Chapter completed!
