Yesterday in the UEFA Nations League, Denmark easily defeated Austria 2:0. In this game, was just as we guessed. Both teams rotated, but Denmark still performed better at home, so after watching the game for a while I feel that Austria is going to be finished. I won’t study the UEFA Nations League today because I am too tired. I will bring you a World Cup play-off match: Costa Rica VS New Zealand.
General direction: Costa Rica won New Zealand in regular time, with scores of 1:0, 2:0, 2:1.
Costa Rica’s performance in this World Cup preliminaries was very good. They defeated the strong North American teams Canada and the United States, drew with Mexico, and finally ranked fourth with only a goal difference and failed to advance directly. In the World Cup, the competitors they face are not weak, so Costa Rica's ability to fight hard is still good, and the gold content of the game is also there. In addition, among the five World Cups held since the beginning of the new century, they only missed the World Cup in South Africa for 10 years. After that, they entered the main round of the World Cup for two consecutive years, so this team also has rich experience in competitions. of.
Judging from the World Preliminary roster announced by Costa Rica, the biggest name in is definitely Paris goalkeeper Navas. From Real Madrid to Paris Saint-Germain, I have always believed that Navas is a seriously underestimated goalkeeper, but he is just not reused by the coach. Everyone You can also discuss what the reason is. Most of the other players in are players from the Colombian League or the Mexican Super League, but the overall level of integration is still very high, and there are also Campbell, who has proven himself in the five major leagues, and midfielder Ruiz on the front line.
Today's fans may not have much impression of New Zealand, but older fans should still have some impressions. In the 1982 World Cup preliminaries, New Zealand entered the World Cup on the basis of the national football team. Today, most of the old fans have I think Rong Zhixing's national football team in 1982 was the strongest in history.
There are only 0.5 qualifications for the Oceania Division. This shows that the overall level of Oceania teams is low. The level is so low that FIFA even believes that none of them has the strength to directly qualify for the World Cup, and New Zealand is considered unique in Oceania. The first level is shown from their second stage group match. New Zealand won all three games in the group stage and their offensive and defensive performance was outstanding. In the third stage, they still easily defeated the Solomon Islands and once again stood at the doorstep of the World Cup. However, although New Zealand has been able to steadily advance to the World Cup play-offs in every World Cup preliminaries, it has basically failed to send its opponents into the World Cup.
Because the team does not have strong opponents in Oceania, the combat environment is relatively comfortable, and there are only a handful of official games that the team can usually play. Therefore, New Zealand was unable to win the last two warm-up games, which is regarded as a win in Oceania. Ao's offensive end also gained zero points in these two games.
The environments the two teams are in are also in sharp contrast, so I am more willing to believe in Costa Rica's ability to fight hard.
