Contrary to the last game between China and Honduras, the public opinion before the game fell one by one, not only the domestic media thought that this was the honor of the Chinese team, but also the foreign media praised the Chinese Olympic team in the pre-game analysis, but also said that the dark horse road of the Chinese team will come to an end.

In the dressing room before the game, Rick Link, who knew that the difference in strength was too big, made the final mobilization: "Now everyone is talking about how good Brazil is, the championship is already theirs." But I don't think so. ”

Unable to find the opponent's weaknesses from the competitive level, Rick Link can only improve morale from psychological aspects: "Just like we do with Honduras, no matter how much emphasis is placed before the game, when it comes to the game, subconsciously thinking that the opponent's weakness must exist, it is just a matter of degree." ”

"And that's our chance. Rick Link raised his voice, "I believe that hard work will be rewarded, as long as we work harder, work harder, and focus more, opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared." We're going to take on the most formidable foe, are you ready?"

"Ready. "All the players of the national Olympic team were also infected by Rick Link's youth training and shouted loudly.

Rick Link's intentions are good, but he is destined to be disappointed.

For this Olympic Games, not only the Brazilian Football Federation and Brazilian fans attach great importance to it, but the players are also waiting for it, like Neymar gave up the Centennial Copa America some time ago in order to participate in the Olympic Games, which shows his strong desire to win this Olympic football gold medal.

In fact, Brazil did this to a large extent to clear the shame of the 1-7 defeat to Germany in the 2014 World Cup. In order to get out of that nightmare and prove that Brazilian football is still the strongest, they will not miss any opportunity to show it to fans around the world, and the Olympic football tournament on home soil is a top priority.

Brazil's ambition is also evident from the arrangement of the stadium - the semi-final was held at the Maracanã Stadium, which once held 220,000 fans to watch the game, although it has been renovated and forced by FIFA to reduce to 82,000 people, it is still a mecca in the hearts of all Brazilian fans.

As long as Brazil win this match and reach the final, they can stay here to play the final, otherwise they will go to the sad place of the Brazilian fans - the 2014 World Cup lost 7-1 to Germany's Belo Horizonte Mineiro Stadium for third place.

For this game, there is no room for error for Brazil.

As can be seen from the starting line-up released by the Brazilian team before the game, they want a big win in this game, with the four attackers Gabriel, Luan, Jesus and Neymar all coming into action in a 4-2-2-2 or 4-2-4 formation.

Also confident of victory are the Brazilian fans. Before the game began, the cheers of enthusiastic Brazilian fans began to be heard in the stands, and Neymar's TIFO was shaken.

After the start of the competition, the young men of the Chinese Olympic team also experienced what the difference in strength is.

All the Brazilian players have a very strong desire to play, and they are known for their skills in playing high pressing in the back of the Chinese team, which also reflects the coaching ability of coach Rogerio Mikale.

Before Rogerio Mikale coached the Brazilian Olympic team, he worked as a youth coach at the grassroots level for a long time, and after moving to many clubs, he accumulated very much coaching experience and unearthed a lot of talent, and there are as many as three players in the Brazilian Olympic team who are his former disciples.

His long-term excellent work also made him close to the Brazilian coaching bigwigs such as Scolari and Tate, and after coaching the Brazilian Under-20 national team, he was soon promoted to the position of head coach of the Brazilian Olympic team.

With a wealth of experience in coaching familiar players, Rogerio Micale has come to the fore with the Brazilian Olympic team.

From the current situation on the field, it can be seen that the gap between the two teams in terms of strength and tactics.

Rick Link is an excellent academy coach, but his tactical thinking is very monotonous, and his stubborn pursuit of all-out offense and defense is one of his weaknesses.

His tactical requirements require players to have good skill on their feet, smart movement and good ball intelligence, which means that he is suitable for coaching strong teams, and of course this has to do with his long tenure in Porto and at Ajax - most of these teams are very good.

The appearance of the Dragons and Zhang Sheng's selection criteria gave Rick Link a chance to form a team that matched his tactics. Even so, when his team encounters opponents who are weaker than him or about the same strength, the team will play very beautifully, attack smoothly, and often play big scores, but once they meet a team that is stronger than themselves, the team will often ignore the end and end in embarrassment.

Historically, under his guidance, China's youth teams at all levels have not been able to provide him with players who match his tactics, not to mention that it is not possible to play strong teams, it is a mess to play weak teams, and Rick Link himself has become a "parallel import" in everyone's mouth.

In this game, the Chinese Olympic team, which insisted on playing with wide open and big closing, was suppressed and couldn't even pass half the game.

Neymar, who was kicked to the ground countless times by Colombians in the last game, was extremely active, just three minutes after the opening, he almost broke the ball at Du Zhenyu's feet with a front-court rush, but fortunately, Du Zhenyu still had an advantage in his body, and he squeezed Neymar away and controlled the ball at his feet, and then drove a big foot to the front.

It can be said that this scene just now is a microcosm of the opening 20 minutes, the Brazilian team attacked, the shot did not score, the Chinese Olympic team got the ball, and then the Brazilian team lost the ball with a very hasty pass under the organized and layered pressing, and then the Brazilian team attacked, and this cycle kept running on the field.

As the captain of the field, Li Yun felt the deepest, he had just played for more than 20 minutes, he felt as if he had played almost half of the game, he was oppressed for a long time, with a high degree of mental concentration and anxiety, which made people have the idea of breaking the jar.

In the last round, Colombia started to foul from the first minute of the game against Brazil, and then Li Yun looked down on them, and now he finally knows why Colombia did it.

The rarely deliberate use of foul tactics is actually a common trait of Longteng players.

When they were in China, the Longteng team had always been pressed and beaten, and they also had an advantage in technology, so they didn't need to use foul tactics.

Even when they faced Barcelona in the Club World Cup, the Dragons never had that idea.

Of course, Zhang Sheng's preference for selecting "good boy" type players is also a very important factor.

The boys of the national Olympic team played very depressed on the field, and the Chinese fans who watched the game were also suffering.

At this time, Chen Jiangfeng's was obviously different from the previous games, he sat on the sofa with an anxious face, and the whole person did not move, only when the Brazilian team got a chance or shot, his body leaned forward slightly, and the players of the Chinese Olympic team on the field of play were still nervous.

Especially in the 27th minute, Du Zhenyu was forced to foul Neymar in front of the penalty area, giving Brazil a free kick in an excellent position, and also got a yellow card, which made Chen Jiangfeng even more frightened.

You must know that in the last round of the game, Brazil also failed to attack, and after Neymar was fouled, he scored a free kick he created himself to break the deadlock, and the position was exactly the same as this time.

The Chinese team is carefully arranging the human wall, and the Brazilian team is also discussing free kick tactics.

In fact, what Rick Link said before the game was not entirely wrong, and the unanimous optimism of all the media, the desire of Brazilian fans to win big, and the desire of the Brazilian Football Federation to get rid of the previous negative impact have put increased pressure on the players of the Brazilian team.

In the face of the dark horse of the Chinese team, it is difficult to please all the above parties without a convincing victory, and the stumbling qualification of the group stage has caused them to receive numerous verbal criticisms, and even if they won the game calmly in the last game, it is not that no one sarcastically mocked the Brazilian team as a fluke.

So far, there is an advantage and no goals, in fact, the Brazilian players are also very anxious, so the free kick opportunity in such a good position is excellent.

No matter how the Brazilian team arranged the tactics, the Chinese team determined that the player who made the final penalty was still Neymar, and sure enough, after the other players faked running, Neymar took the ball out, and after the ball went around the human wall, there was a rapid fall, and it was still Zeng Cheng's backhand reversal, so that Zeng Cheng could only look at the ball and sigh.

Fortunately, after the football fell, it did not fly into the net, but hit the crossbar and flew out of the bottom line, and the Chinese Olympic team escaped.

"It's so dangerous!" Chen Jiangfeng rejoiced, "Nei Shao is a cow pen." One person completely paralyzed the right side of our side. ”

"The world's top star, Brazil's first brother. Strength is not blown out. Dad Chen is obviously not optimistic about the National Olympics, "Win when you lose less, and you will be satisfied with the momentum." ”

As the first half wore for more than 30 minutes, Brazil, who had failed to do so, slowed down their tempo, apparently feeling that the game had to be played in the long run.

The retraction of the Brazilian team finally gave the Chinese Olympic team a chance to breathe, and under the command of Rick Link, the formation of the national Olympic team was slightly pressed out.

In the 39th minute, Qin Minghao, who was injured, organized a good attack, he dodged Gabriel Barbosa's rebound, and passed the ball to Ding Huaiyi on the left side, who got rid of it with a beautiful twist, shook off Wallace's rushing close, and then he rushed to pass the ball before the Brazilian right wingback Seca blocked, Nie Jiang was covered by Zou Weijia, and the back row inserted a direct shot, and finally the football was saved by Brazilian goalkeeper Viwalton.

Nie Jiang's first shot from inside the frame gave the team the first corner kick of the game.

"Oops, it's a pity that the goal didn't go in. Nie Jiang's shooting power is very strong, but the shot is very positive, and it is not as difficult for Vivalton to pounce, but as a fan of his country, Chen Jiangfeng still subconsciously hopes that the opponent's goalkeeper will give a big gift, "It would be nice if the angle was a little off." ”

"It was nice to have a corner. "Dad Chen is an old pole, he watches a lot of football, and he can understand it. When Nie Jiang got the ball just now, only Zou Weijia could help him, and the Brazilian midfielder Augusto has been following Nie Jiang, the two central defenders are staring at Zou Weijia, and the other teammates on the Chinese team have not followed. ”

Of course, the players on the field understand this truth better than Chen's father, including a rare central defender like Du Zhenyu, who also appeared in the Brazilian team's penalty area, obviously trying to score goals through corner kicks.

After Ding Huaiyi's ball came out, it was Li Yun who was looking for this, but Zou Weijia, the tallest on the National Olympic side, took cover and made a fake jump, which was obviously a tactic practiced by the National Olympic side.

This Brazilian Olympic team is not without weaknesses, that is, their two central defenders are not tall, whether it is Marquinhos or Rodrigo Caio, they are only 1.83 meters tall, shorter than Li Yundu.

After Li Yun jumped, he was obviously half a head taller than the Brazilian player, and then his header was once again held up by Vivaldon with the palm of his hand.

Before the Olympics, when Brazil's overage player, the 38-year-old goalkeeper Plath suffered an elbow injury, and Vivalton was recruited as a substitute, the Brazilian media also questioned that he was a descendant of Brazilian coach Rogerio Mikale, and he was suspected of cronyism.

"What a chance. Chen Jiangfeng said regretfully, "Brother Yun's header is a pity." ”

"I'll just say it. Corners, set-pieces are good chances. Dad Chen became excited now, "Next is another corner kick, and there is still a chance." ”

The continuous attacks of the national Olympic team made the Chinese fans in the stands who were immersed in most of the half also excited, before their home team was pressed and beaten, and the fans were completely suppressed by the Brazilian fans, this time everyone was also proud of themselves.

And the weak team plays the strong team, the strong team can't attack for a long time, and there are too many things in the football game that the weak team can get a set-piece, who knows if this game will be like this?

These psychological hints gave the fans great confidence, and although there were boos from Brazilian fans on the pitch, the cheering of Chinese fans obviously suppressed these noises.

The penalty for this corner is still Ding Huaiyi, after carefully observing the position in the penalty area, he made a gesture to his teammates, this time he chose to send the front point, compared with the last time Zou Weijia is no longer just a cover, he rushed to the front point to prepare to rub the ball back, let the group in the penalty area to fight for the top.

With the height of the first altitude on the field, Zou Weijia grabbed this point and smoothly rubbed the ball to the center of the penalty area, and the opportunity for the Chinese Olympic team came again.
