The match between Germany and Ghana at the Football City Stadium in Johannesburg ended one minute earlier than the match between China and Serbia at the Mbombela Stadium because there was no injury time.
The moment Loew turned around and walked towards the tunnel, assistant Flick ran after him and said in his ear: "Serbia equalized the score."
Hearing this news, Loew frowned instinctively.
He knew that if the game ended with the current score, Germany would be first in the group, which meant that Germany would meet England in the 18th final.
This is not good news. , in Loew’s mind, he obviously wants to play with the US team in the 18th finals.
"D, China must be conceding the ball."
Loew continued walking with a look of displeasure on his face.
If the two games end with 1:0, then the German team will not be able to live up to it even if they advance to the top 16 as second in the group.
If they choose to draw with Ghana in order to bypass England in the 18th final, then Loew's handsome The bit is expected to expire after the World Cup, so for Loew, the draw between China and Serbia is tantamount to forcing him to a dead end.
I can only bite the bullet and rank first in the group.
This young German team cannot withstand the destruction of the experienced England.
The match at Johannesburg's Football City Stadium and Mbombela Stadium went into halftime, with commentators at both stadiums discussing the game.
Sihewei, the on-site commentator at the Football City Stadium in Johannesburg, frowned and said: "Another venue also entered the halftime break.
Germany led Ghana 1:0, and China 1:1 Serbia at the Mbombela Stadium.
In other words, according to the The current score ends the game.
Germany ranks first in the group, China is second in the group, Serbia is third in the group, and Ghana is fourth.”
Huang Jianxiang shook his head and smiled: "If the two games are really ended with this score, it will be a good thing for the Chinese team."
"oh" "The qualifying spots in Group C have been settled.
The United States is first and England is second.
That means that by qualifying second in the group, we can avoid England, which is second in the group.
Compared with the powerful England, I think the United States is better to deal with.
This will indirectly Increases our hopes of advancing to the quarterfinals.”
Many fans in front of the TV and computer were unhappy about Serbia's equalizer just a moment ago, but after hearing Huang Jianxiang's analysis, they became happy.
There is no point in trying to be first in the group It’s better to be realistic and choose an American team that is easier to deal with.
After all, we are not a strong team like Germany that relies on shame to survive.
The BBC commentator Lineker in the Mbombela Stadium commentary box also realized the importance of the score.
While he is a fan of Aello, he is first and foremost an Englishman.
He said excitedly: "Although the Chinese team was equalized by Serbia in the first half, it may not be a good thing for them.
If the game ends with the current score, then the Chinese team will meet the American team in the 18th final.
The United States is obviously easier to deal with than the powerful England."
Saul Stameier, commentator of German TV station, looked at the half-time qualifying situation in IAD and frowned and said: "If the whole game ends with the current score, then we will meet England in the 18th final.
This is very detrimental to us when we come here, Michael, what do you think?"
Commentator Ballack smiled and said: "Isn't the game still not over?
There are still forty-five minutes left.
The football game is changing rapidly.
Now we are still leading Ghana 1:0.
It does not mean that it will still be 1:0 at the end of the game.
The same is true for China and Serbia.
The match is now 1:1, and maybe at the end of the match it will be 2:1, 3:1 for the Chinese team."
"Oh Michael, why do you believe that the Chinese team will win?"
Ballack shrugged his shoulders and said: "When you go from Valencia to Chelsea for a god-like teammate and win more than a dozen extremely valuable trophies, you will also believe that the team with Ai is invincible."
Saul Stamayr did not delve into this issue.
Deep down in his heart, he also hoped that China would win and meet England in the 18th final: "Haha, I hope so.
Let's look forward to the second half of the game together."
This creates a situation where England and China hope that the Chinese team will draw their opponents, while Germany hopes that China will win the game.

The fifteen-minute intermission passed quickly, and players from both sides appeared in batches at Mbombela Stadium.
As the captain, Ai Luo summoned all the players before their teammates walked to their positions, stood in a circle with their shoulders crossed, and collectively shouted: "We must win"
"Must win" The same is true for their opponent Serbia.
After all, the forty-five minutes of the second half are the moment that determines the fate of the two teams.
The score is now 1:1, which is the ideal score for the Chinese team to advance to the top 16, but it is the elimination score for Serbia.
Therefore, Serbia will definitely increase its offensive efforts in the second half.
If the Chinese team chooses as it did before the end of the first half, If you insist on defending, you will most likely be breached again.
After all, Gao Hongbo is not a top defensive expert like Mourinho, and it is impossible for him to be watertight in defensive arrangements.
Indeed, Serbia took advantage of the kick-off and quickly launched an attack.
Stankovic, who was still playing the fourth position in the first half, mentioned the tenth position.
The team's formation also changed from 4-5-1 to the mainstream 4-2-3 in football.
Formation.
"It seems that Serbia is really going to get serious in the second half.
Stankovic's position is very high, standing behind Jovanovic.
This is of great help to their offense.
Stankovic is As a simple central midfielder of the older generation of Serbia, Vic can advance, attack, retreat and defend.
He has his own unique skills in passing and long-range shooting.
The Chinese team is going to be in trouble."
Just two minutes into the game, Serbia created a scoring opportunity, the Italian national TV commentator said.
Gao Hongbo, who was standing on the sidelines, was very depressed, thinking that everything was under his control, but he found out that he was just a porter of fate.
The Chinese team was very passive at the beginning of the second half.
Zheng Zhi and Wu Xi did not have many opportunities to get the ball forward.
They were basically in a defensive state.
As for Ai Luo, there were even fewer opportunities to get the ball.
Five minutes He only touched the ball twice in the past, one of which was a sideline ball near the center circle by full-back Sun Xiang.
This shows how serious the trouble the Chinese team is encountering Lineker realized that the current situation was heavily tilted towards Serbia, which had a better overall strength, and he began to worry about whether the Chinese team could withstand the continuous attacks: "Serbia's offensive is getting more and more fierce, and I don't know if the Chinese team can withstand the continuous attacks."
As this period of time passes, Gao, as the head coach of the Chinese team, must make adjustments to the team.
It is very dangerous to be passively defensive all the time."
Gao Hongbo only asked the team to pay attention to defense in the second half during the halftime break.
He did not expect that Serbia would launch a wave of attacks, so it will take time to break the game.
Serbia took full initiative, almost overwhelming the Chinese team's defensive players, and time passed quickly.
Antic looked up at the court.
The game time: 5924.
In other words, nearly fifteen minutes have passed unknowingly in the second half, and it is time to make the first substitution adjustment.
Two minutes later, Serbia took the lead in making substitution adjustments, replacing Lazovic with the 2.02-meter-tall Zikic to increase the height of the striker.
When Zikic entered the penalty area of the Chinese team, Wang Xiaolei, who was 1.92 meters tall, felt tremendous pressure.
He was more than half a head taller than Feng Xiaoting or Du Wei.
How could this happen?
As a teammate of Valencia, Wang Xiaolei knows Zikic very well.
His shooting skills are very good, and he is very accomplished in header crossing and direct header.
After three seasons in Valencia, he also has certain skills.
It has good ground coordination ability, but its shortcomings are also obvious: slow movement speed.
However, Antic's substitution of him on the field was a correct substitution based on the situation on the field, making the most of his strengths and avoiding his weaknesses.
Serbia, which is fully dominant, is fully capable of taking the ball frequently from both wingers, creating opportunities for Zikic, who is extremely good at heading the ball.
When the game reached the 68th minute, Serbia finally took advantage of Zikic's height advantage to overwhelm Feng Xiaoting and Du Wei and hit the ball towards the goal.

Even though Wang Xiaolei reacted quickly enough, he was helpless because of the tricky angle and was beyond his reach.
At the same time, the commentator of the Serbian national team shouted hoarsely: "goooooooooooooooa Nikola Zikic's wonderful violent header scored the goal.
Antici's substitution was really immediate.
After Zikic came on, Helped the team to overtake the score in the sixth minute.
If the game ends with the current score, then long live us to advance to the top 16."
Zhan Jun's mouth was half open, his tone was obviously affected by the score, and he said in a low voice: "It's really not the right time to concede the ball during this period.
The second half has just passed halfway.
If we hold on for a few more minutes, we can consume more physical energy of the Serbian national team.
Now Losing the ball is fatal” "This goal was conceded.
It was too inappropriate.
The Chinese team's left back Sun's physical fitness has declined significantly.
Why didn't Gao decisively replace him with the younger Rong?
Krasic just took advantage of Sun's reduced physical fitness to easily get out of the angle."
Passing a precise cross, the giant Zikic only needed to jump up and head the ball into the goal. " Head coach Gao Hongbo stood on the sidelines and looked at the Serbian players celebrating wildly.
He was completely stunned.
What is heaven to hell?
This is called heaven to hell But he didn't know that this conceding was just the beginning.
Three minutes later, Ivanovic made a 45-degree cross from the right.
Zikic once again beat Feng Xiaoting and Du Wei alive, and the header flew to the path of captain Stankovic.
Wu Xi subconsciously fell to the ground to block it, but Stankovic still decisively chose to shoot.
Under the gaze of all the fans, the football went straight to the upper right corner of the goal.
Wang Xiaolei had no reaction. 1:3 Serbia scored three goals in a row after being one goal behind:
