As a Messi fan, Argentina will be excluded from the discussion of this article based on the basic principle of preserving character before the game.
Counting by fingers, the four-year football feast, the World Cup, will start in half a year.
As a national football fan, the dull pain caused by the unexpected exit from the China 12 tournament gradually disappeared with the passage of time, and the increasingly strong smell of gunpowder in the World Cup re-stimulated our lazy nerves in summer and filled the gap in our feelings.
Although it is an inestimable loss that the national football team missed the World Cup, the days have passed, haven't they? Teams participating in the World Cup these days are practicing through the Europa League, Kirin Cup and various warm-up test equipment, trying to make a difference in the World Cup.
As a result, there has been a permanent suspense before the start of previous World Cups-who is the biggest favourite to win the championship? Who is most likely to dominate the World Cup and win the gold cup?
Fake fans, the national football team thinks that five teams have the strength to win the championship and have the opportunity to win the championship trophy. Let's discuss it.
Fifth, "European China Team" English.
As the birthplace of modern football, the English team enjoys the reputation of "European China Team".
The reason is naturally the unskilled long pass and blunt hanging style that has been persisted for decades. This kind of play is simple and rude. After the defender steals the ball countless times, he directly passes the ball to find the striker, and the success rate is extremely low. Go straight to Huanglong if you are right, and continue to be beaten if you are wrong.
However, in the European Cup last year, everyone was surprised to find that England had completely transformed, and the former Brown brothers also began to play picturesque transmission and control technology.
The reason is coach southgate. This man, who is always frowning and worried, helped England find the best solution for the lineup. A powerful header, a lightning-fast walker, an amazing increase in ball dealers, Luke Shaw, and midfielders Les and Mumbao made the English team fast and slow, but rigid and flexible.
On the offensive line, there are many talents in England: Kane, Grali, Fodden, Sancho and Master Lara, all of whom are heroes who carry the offensive banner alone in the Premier League Big6. Although the happy teenager Sterling has a bad brain, his side breakthrough is necessary, and no strong team can underestimate him.
On paper strength, the England team is as attractive as Belgium, but what is lacking is the honor blessing.
These changes in England have all benefited from the strength of the Premier League in the past five years. As the first league in the world, the Premier League is now showing the trend of a hundred schools of thought contending. Famous and handsome men of various styles gather, and various technical and tactical styles blossom. Manchester City's invincible passing and control style, Liverpool Wolves' running and bombing tactics, and Chelsea and Tottenham's defensive counterattacks have made the Premier League extremely lively.
With the continuous improvement of the Premier League and the Champions League, local players in England gradually get tactical bonuses and competitive bonuses. The mature three-centre-back system can guarantee the lower limit of the team to the maximum extent, and the style of play is no longer the novelty of the past.
The only flaw of this English team is the conservatism of manager southgate at the crucial moment. In last year's European Cup final, England, which started dreamily, was possessed by the national football team. After leading 1 ball, he completely gave up the attack, picked up the long pass and hanging for the fans to watch the fire, and finally ushered in tragedy. After the penalty shoot-out, he made three free throws and lost the European Cup trophy. From the coach to the players, the performance in that final was all rookie level.
At the end of the World Cup, England, a one-year-old three-meow group, still has hope of winning the championship as long as it overcomes psychological obstacles.

Fourth, "rammstein" German team.
The only accurate football machine in the world is the representative of modern industrial football.
Germany's World Cup results, except for the defending champion curse and the group exit in the 18 World Cup, can reach the quarter-finals of the World Cup almost every time, and its stability is comparable to that of the national football World Cup qualifiers.
At present, Germany's world ranking 12 is not commensurate with its brilliant history of winning the world championship four times. The root cause lies in the hip-pulling performance in 18 World Cup and 2 1 European Cup.
Guardiola coached Bayern for three years, and the German team with Bayern as the team gradually suffered from transmission and control dependence. Invincible pass control is beautiful, but it is too delicate to be attacked for a long time. In the development of modern football, Spain, the originator of transmission and control, is also constantly seeking breakthroughs. In those years, the German team seemed to be poisoned by the transmission and control, and was deeply involved. So we saw the German team in the 18 World Cup, which was extremely slow, slow and bloodless, and the group stage was eliminated.
After Frick came to power, he once again picked up the old tradition on which Germany became famous-high-position grab tactics. Today, the pace of attack and defense in modern football is getting faster and faster, and Frick's bringing order out of chaos can be regarded as conforming to the historical trend.
Germany can hardly see any weakness in the three-dimensional attack of high position, bilateral strong edge, ground penetration and high ball. If it succeeds, it is the tragedy maker. Saudi Arabia (0: 8), Australia (0: 4), Portugal (0: 4), Argentina (0: 4) and Brazil (1: 7) were all defeated by rammstein's wheels in the World Cup.
To say that the shortcomings of the German team are physical fitness and injuries. This can refer to the Premier League Germany team Liverpool. Zhashu Liverpool's high-level forced attack will be extremely strong and it will be terrible to fight. However, the physical energy consumption of the players is extremely high, and there is silence after the climax, so it is easy to have a hearty story of sudden death after the positive. This year's Champions League14 final, the German team's home base Bayern unexpectedly lost to Villarreal is proof.
After the World Cup, if Frick can solve the physical fitness and injury problems of the German team, I believe this high-profile Liverpool still has great potential.

Third, the "Purple Legion" Portugal team
Portugal, with its super-strong lineup and bright stars, is the most easily overlooked invisible rich, not just having a Ronaldo.
In terms of the luxury of the lineup, Portugal is definitely the top three in the world. Compared with them, European champion Italy can only be regarded as a civilian team.
On the defensive line, the appearance of Ruben Diaz, the best player in the Premier League season, greatly made up for the vacancy left by two old stars, Feng Te and Pepe.
Canceiro is currently Manchester City's thigh. He was born in 1994 and was only 28 years old. He has an efficient ability to break through the flank, fast speed, abundant physical fitness, outstanding creativity and extraordinary ability.
In midfield, da Pereira is currently playing for Paris Saint-Germain in French, aged 365,438+0. He is an excellent defensive midfielder and an all-round team with strong stealing ability and good passing vision and accuracy.
Bu Fernandez currently plays for Manchester United in the Premier League. Although he has been criticized, he is strong. As a midfielder, he has outstanding scoring ability, fast speed and high ball dealer. He is good at communication and communication. He is an excellent team political commissar.
Bay Silva plays for Manchester City in the Premier League. Under Guardiola's command, he gradually grew into a talented midfielder like Xavi. He has a strong ability to protect the ball, and his body is flexible and balanced. After starting, he can accelerate continuously and suddenly change direction and speed when moving.
As for Cristiano Ronaldo, the pillar of the team, it goes without saying that at the age of 37, he still maintains a super high scoring efficiency. As long as he stands on the court, his deterrent will bring great mental pressure to his opponent.
Portugal is currently ranked eighth in the world. Coach Santos encountered the same problem as Li Tie, the national football coach-how to drive a super carrier stably?
There is not much time left for Santos. At present, the biggest problem in Portugal is that if this luxurious team is kneaded into a whole, the strongest fighting capacity will be released.
Portugal was defeated by the German winger in the European Cup group match. Germans who were no longer brave in those days seized the fate of Portugal in one fell swoop-the cooperation between defenders and full-backs, and repeatedly attacked and won a great victory. This shows that this Portuguese team has serious defensive problems.
If this stubborn disease can be overcome, the prospect of Portugal winning the championship is still relatively clear.

Second, the "Samba Corps" Brazil team
Gradually Europeanized Brazil is gradually moving closer to European industrial football.
Perhaps 14 was brutally slaughtered by Germany in the semi-final of 1: 7 World Cup. Brazil has learned a lesson from this painful experience, abandoned its samba style in the Jianghu for decades, and is bound to carry utilitarian football to the end. Now, in this Brazilian team, apart from Neymar, you can hardly find a Ronaldinho superstar with wild style, imagination and artistic beauty.
However, Brazil's transformation has been successful. Its unbeaten record in the World Cup qualifiers has advanced strongly, scoring the most goals and conceding the least, and currently ranks first in the world.
Brazil has world-class wingers, world-class central defenders, world-class goalkeepers and world-class midfielders. From the line-up, it seems that Brazil is not inferior to the one that won the championship in 2002, and the star flavor is slightly bleak compared with 2006.
The midfield trio Paquita, firmino and casemiro are basically fixed and have the competitiveness to compete with any top team in the world, but the center, full-back and offensive organization midfield are relatively weak.
At present, Brazil's biggest problem is Europeanization, but it is not as disciplined as European teams. Take Brazil's warm-up match against Japan as an example. The high pressure in the frontcourt exposed the second-rate B false pass control in Japan. 45 minutes in the first half, Japan can only retreat at half-time. However, after the penalty kick led in the second half, the chaos at the scene was desperate. After the Japanese attack, Brazil failed to make any decent counterattack. After breaking the ball, the forward pass was easily intercepted by the opponent, and finally only 1 This score made domestic Japanese dramas climax for some time.
If Brazil is not facing Japan but the national football team, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Generally speaking, this Brazilian team is sometimes as bloody as Germany, sometimes as freehand as Brazil, and sometimes it has become an African team with a lazy style. So for Brazilian coach Tate, there is still a lot of work to be done in the second half of the year.

The first is the "Gaul Rooster" French team.
After 35-year-old Benzema became Benzeron in this year's Champions League, the chances of the French team winning the championship increased by 30%.
The French team four years ago, everyone knew it was strong, but it was not strong enough to stand out. Four years later, the French team was strong enough to despise all human spells.
From the beginning, the French team was the favourite to win the championship. The curse of the defending champion team out seems to have been forgotten in the corner by the world, and no one has mentioned it again. Because the French team is too strong, no one thinks that the French team can't play in the group stage.
The strength of the French team lies in the fact that the players in the middle and back court are too strong, but they have played a wretched defensive counterattack. The French team's filth is different from other teams. The wretched flow of other teams is that the players are not competent enough, so they can only compress the space and reduce the probability of being penetrated by intensive defense. The French team is a group of star defenders with strong individual combat capability. Put a Mbappé and a Benzeron in the frontcourt, so that all invading enemies can be swept away.
France four years ago was only a youth army. The absolute core is Atletico Gorez Mann's thigh. The French team caught all teams off guard with its fast counterattack speed and solid defense. Four years later, Gleizman's state is not what it used to be, but Mbappé is four years old and has become a Parisian thigh. Benzema is becoming more and more demon with age, and Kanter and Geba are in their prime.
Generally speaking, this French team seems to have more qualification and strength to win the championship than four years ago. The only uncertain factor may be the "infighting" of this team.
As a factor other than skills and tactics, those who say that "the French team may be fighting among themselves" essentially hope that the French team will be chaotic, but this just shows that the overall strength of the French team is frightening.
In addition, looking through the history, we can find that France seems to be the natural nemesis of Brazil. As a Brazilian team that has won five world championships, Samba Corps is a lingering nightmare for many European teams, but only France is not afraid of them.
Looking through history, I was surprised to find that no team had ever beaten them, which was evil.
It seems that only when the national football team reaches the World Cup will there be real natural enemies to subdue this Gaul chicken.
