If you want to win the World Cup championship, defense may be more important than offense. In the history of the World Cup, champion teams generally conceded few goals. They may not be the team with the most aggressive offense, but they must be the team with the best defense.

If you want to win the World Cup championship, defense may be more important than offense. In the key competition, the cost-effectiveness of 1:0 is much higher than that of 3:2. Although fans prefer to see the ups and downs of the process, the results are understandable for the team.

In the history of the World Cup, champion teams generally conceded few goals. They may not be the team with the most aggressive offense, but they must be the team with the best defense. Especially in the group stage, facing not very strong opponents, the probability of their goal loss is even smaller. Among the many World Cup champions, three have achieved their best in this regard. They actually conceded zero goals in the group stage.

1. 1930 World Cup champion Uruguay

Reasonablely, football matches in the black and white period are relatively open, and big scores are often played. Even if a strong team wins a big victory, it will have a score of 7:1, 8:3. In short, it is normal to concede one or two goals while scoring. But Uruguay, the first World Cup champion, was very cautious in this regard.

Since there are not many participating teams in the first World Cup, and the number of teams is 13, the competition system is not perfect. The 13 teams are divided into 4 groups. Except for the first group, there are only 3 teams in the other three groups. Uruguay and Peruvian , Romanian were divided into the third group.

Uruguay defeated Peru 1:0 and 4:0 defeated Romania. He scored 5 goals in two games, but he did not lose a single goal.

Of course, under normal circumstances, a team will have to play three games in the group stage. Uruguay's World Cup trip has given a certain discount in this regard. However, with their strength, even if they are paired with another team, the probability of them not losing the ball is very high.

2. Brazil 1958 World Cup champion Brazil

58 World Cup Brazil gives people the feeling that it has amazing attack power, especially in the semi-finals and finals. They were like they were cheating and defeated France and Sweden with the same score of 5:2. To date, the World Cup final goal record is still maintained by Brazil. Brazil scored 10 goals in the semi-finals and finals, but also conceded 5 goals, giving people the feeling that it was too crazy and not calm. But in fact, Brazil's starting stage of this World Cup is very stable. They don't score many goals in the group stage, scoring only 5 goals in three games, and averaging less than two goals per game, which is in sharp contrast to their state of killing after reaching the semi-finals.

However, Brazil has not lost a single goal in these three games, which is worthy of praise. It can be seen that Brazil has concentrated all its energy in the final stage. At the beginning, they tightened their energy and did not want to adjust their state to full level so quickly.

Let’s talk about the scores of the three group matches. Brazil 3:0 Austria , Brazil 0:0 England, Brazil 2:0 Soviet Union.

3. 1966 World Cup champion England

1966 World Cup champion is the only major championship in England so far. In the final, Hurst scored a hat-trick, helping England defeat Germany 4-2. And the unsolved cases of the door line at that time have been a classic topic. Although they scored 4 goals in the final, England did not score many goals in this World Cup, and they conceded very few goals. In short, they played very steadily.

Especially in the group stage, England did not lose a single goal, and seemed very calm. They drew 0:0 with Uruguay and defeated France 2:0 with Mexico . You know, the goalkeeper of England at that time was Banks , and their captain was Moore, one of the best defenders in history. So, it is too difficult to break through England's door.

The three World Cup champions who did not conced goals in the group stages, only one of them is a European team. It seems that although the South American team is unrestrained and enthusiastic, they are actually very calm at critical moments.And there is another point. All three cases are from before the 1970s. Today's football world, which pays more attention to defense, has never seen a World Cup champion with zero goals conceded in the group stage.

This year's Qatar World Cup, will such a champion be born?
