1, World Cup history
20 17 On June 2nd, Iran's national men's football team qualified for the 20 18 World Cup in Russia through fierce competition, which is the fifth time Iran has participated in the World Cup. As an Asian team, it is a strength for Iran to reach the World Cup finals. Iran's performance in previous World Cups was not particularly outstanding, and most of them were eliminated in the group stage. There is still a big gap between the football teams in Iran and the United States and Europe. In this World Cup in Russia, Iran still entered the finals by virtue of strength and luck, but its record was obviously backward, and the chances of qualifying for the group were slim. In the last group match, I met a powerful Portuguese team, and the chances of winning were almost zero.
Portugal has always lacked superstars. Ferreira, EuSebbio, Madeira Filippo, Rui Costa and now the most popular football player cristiano ronaldo have all led Portugal into the ranks of international strong teams, and Portugal has become a favourite to win the World Cup many times in history. Portugal has participated in six World Cup finals in history, and the best result is 1966, which won the third place in England and the second place in Germany in 2006.
This year's World Cup in Russia is also the seventh time Portugal has participated. Most of the players in the team come from well-known domestic teams, with tacit cooperation and top strength. Although Portugal played a little strange in the first two rounds of group matches, with the increasing enthusiasm of the game, Portugal, under the leadership of star Cristiano Ronaldo, will be full of passion in the next game.
At present, Portugal's FIFA ranks third and Iran's FIFA ranks thirty-second. Judging from the historical engagement records of the two teams, Portugal is obviously stronger than Iran. At present, the speed, strength and technology of the Portuguese team have been greatly improved. The team can use the classic flank interception routine to let the striker outflank the points in the restricted area, or find Cristiano Ronaldo or Andre Silva to create a goal opportunity in the defensive counterattack. On the whole, Portugal has a much greater chance of qualifying than Iran.
2. Team qualification analysis
On the other hand, in the match with Morocco, Iran's advantage is not significant. In Asia, Iran can give full play to the advantage of fast break in the face of weaker teams. However, in this World Cup, everyone is a world-class team. Iran can only fight hard at this time. It really needs luck and teamwork if it wants to score goals.
