Monday 002 World Cup England VS Iran
2022-11-21 21:00
Since Southgate took charge, England has delivered a good answer in the last two intercontinental competitions. The team first reached the semi-finals in the 2018 World Cup, and then in the 2021 European Cup What is even more rare is that the average age of the current England team is very young. The backbone such as Kane , Sterling , Maguire and other players are all in their years of playing. The young Foden, Saka and Mount have accumulated rich game experience in their respective clubs. In addition, the growing rookies such as Bellingham and Gallagher, England's card strength is extremely competitive in this World Cup. However, after qualifying for the World Cup qualifiers last year with an unbeaten record of 8 wins and 2 draws, England's performance in 2022 was unsatisfactory. The UEFA Group League team had 3 draws and 3 losses and had no wins in 6 games, and there were no results in 4 games during this period. The tactical changes of coach Southgate against the team were not successful.
As a traditional strong team in Asia, Iran did not encounter many tests in this World Cup qualifier. However, because the president of the domestic Football Association changed its term, the coach Skosic, who led the team to the World Cup, was dismissed due to internal problems. The Portuguese Queiros, who had led the team to compete in the 2014 and 2018 World Cups, entered the palace three times and took the team's coach again. However, although he was changing coaches in the last match, Queiros was very familiar with his disciples. It can be said that the tactical impact is not great. In terms of lineup, the Iranian team is led by several European players such as Azmon , Taremi, Jahanbahsh , and their offensive strength cannot be underestimated. Although most players on the defensive end are not outstanding, the Iranian team has excellent team collaboration ability. In the last 15 national team games, the team has only conceded 7 goals. In this year's warm-up match, the team has successively scored Uruguay , draw with Senegal 1-1, and performed well. As a representative of the power-oriented team, Iranian players' physical confrontation ability is not inferior to European and American teams. The team in the last World Cup played hard to solve the problem with Spain and Portugal in the group stage. The Iranian team should not be underestimated against England in the first match of this World Cup.

20 years ago in the World Cup, Senegal defeated defending champion France in the opening game, and then made a stunning move to the quarterfinals. The team captain Aliu Cisse , now he has been in the coaching position of Senegal for many years, leading the team to the 2018 and 2022 World Cup finals, and also won the championship in last year's African Cup. It can be said that he is the first minister of Senegal's achievements in recent years. Due to his career in the European League for many years, Aliu Cise's tactical thinking is also very European. Senegal does not have the usual scattered and inattention-free weaknesses that African teams often have. Its strict discipline ensures that the team is pragmatic and targeted. Many players on the roster play in the top European leagues, with excellent strength and experience. However, the core of the forward line Mane missed this World Cup due to injury, which is naturally a huge loss for Senegal. As the team's number one star, his position and role in the frontcourt cannot be replaced. In the first game, facing the Netherlands, which is the strongest in the group, is a big test for Senegal without Mane.
After the Dutch team failed in the 8th final of the European Cup last year, De Boer was dismissed. The old coach van Gaal was ordered to take charge of the Dutch team for the third time. After taking office, the Dutch team's good performance is obvious to all. 11 wins and 4 draws remain unbeaten in 15 games in various competitions, and they performed well on both ends of the offense and defense. In this year's UEFA Nations League, the Dutch team faced three teams with great strength, 5 wins and 1 draw. Judging from the lineup, the Dutch team's midfield and backcourt strength is very good. On the defense line, Van Dijk, Drivet, Ak and De Frey are all top central defenders in the giants. Dumfries and Maracia on the wing are all extremely aggressive, and De Jong is in his midfielder position in the midfield. In comparison, the team's offensive line is slightly poor. The only forward is Depe , playing for , the five major leagues of . In the first game, facing Senegal, which has good defensive skills, it is not easy for the Dutch team to tear open the opponent's defense line.
