21 WGM #59 2018/06 wgm8.com 在长达八年无缘任何大型锦标赛后，塞尔维亚终于力压威尔 士拿到了俄罗斯世界杯参赛资格。这是2006年塞尔维亚独立之后 第二次参加世界杯。然而，晋级世界杯后短短几周内，主教练职 位发生更迭，为他们的世界杯之旅蒙上一层阴影。 前任主帅穆斯利被解雇。据猜测穆斯利和拉齐奥中场米林科 维奇• 萨维奇的糟糕关系，是其任期走向结束的导火索。临时主 帅克里斯塔季奇上任后立刻宣布将萨维奇召入国家队，随后两场 对阵中国和韩国的国家队友谊赛中，这位塞尔维亚小将终于上演 了国家队处子秀。 尽管穆斯利的下课在塞尔维亚国内引起了广泛争议，23 岁的 萨维奇本赛季的确在拉齐奥表现出色，打入了14 个进球，已经引 起曼联、皇马和热刺球探的关注。一届表现抢眼的世界杯当然会 成为年轻人冲往豪门的跳板。 主教练： 克里斯塔季奇 队长： 亚历山大•克拉罗夫 国际足联排名： 35 夺冠赔率： $201.00 世界杯参赛次数： 12 世界杯最好成绩： 半决赛（1930） 俄罗斯之夏是瑞士连续第四次参加世界杯，如今瑞士人民已 经习惯了国家队晋级世界杯。不过对于本届世界杯来说，人们也 没有太高期许——即使他们是在附加赛艰苦淘汰北爱尔兰之后才 拿到的决赛圈入场券。 阿森纳中场扎卡很明显是瑞士国家队的核心球员，控制着比 赛节奏。瑞士国家队进攻主要由两条边路发起，像沙奇里和史蒂 芬•祖贝尔这样速度快的边锋将会为中路输送炮弹。两个边锋还 拥有边后卫的支援，在右路有尤文图斯的利希施泰纳，左边则是 AC米兰的里卡多• 罗德里格斯。 但最大的隐患，是他们在中锋位置上缺少优秀人选。本菲卡 前锋哈里斯•塞费罗维奇是目前球队的射手第一人选，但本赛季 只进了四个联赛进球。论进球效率，塞费罗维奇无法和昔日瑞士 国家队9号射手弗雷相比。 主教练： 弗拉迪米尔•佩特科维奇 队长： 史蒂芬•利希施泰纳 国际足联排名： 6 夺冠赔率： $101.00 世界杯参赛次数： 10 世界杯最好成绩： 1/4决赛（1934、1938、1954） After eight years of failing tomake it to amajor championship, Serbia qualified for Russia 2018 by topping their group at the expense of teams like Wales. This is just their second World Cup appearance since becoming an independent nation in 2006, but comes with a shadow cast by a change of head coach within weeks of achieving qualification. Former head coach Slavoljub Muslin was sacked amid speculation that his poor relationship with Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinković-Savić was behind his demise. The caretaker manager MladenKrstajić announced the inclusion ofMilinković-Savić straight away and the star midfielder played his first ever international games in two friendly matches against China and South Korea. Although the treatment of Muslin is still being widely debated in Serbia, the 23-year-old Milinković-Savić did indeed have an amazing season with Lazio, scoring 14 times and attracting scouts fromManchester United, Real Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur. A fine World Cup will surely be the youngster’s springboard towards something bigger. Coach: Mladen Krstajić Captain: Aleksandar Kolarov FIFA Ranking: 35 Odds: $201.00 World Cup appearances: 12 Best World Cup performance: Semi-finals – 1930 Russia is the fourth consecutive World Cup run for Switzerland and with the Swiss people now expecting nothing less from their national team, there was no great euphoria when it booked its place in the finals – even after progressing through a difficult play-off against Northern Ireland. Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka is clearly the heart of the Swiss squad, setting the pace of the game. Switzerland’s attack will mostly involve the two flanks, with speedy wingers such as Xherdan Shaqiri and Steven Zuber providing the crosses into the middle. The wingers also have strong full-backs behind them in Juventus’s Stephan Lichtsteiner on the right and Milan’s Ricardo Rodríguez on the left. But the major concern for them will be the lack of quality in the center forward position. Benfica striker Haris Seferović, who is now the side’s number one choice, scored only four league goals this season. Seferović is by no means as prolific as Alexander Frei, the previous No.9 of the Switzerland national team.
