Chapter 1176: Counterattack
Maybe it was just the beginning of the game, Neymar felt that it was not time to show his skills, and he needed to run a little more, so he knocked the ball to Marcelo, Marcelo doesn't care whether the game has just started or not, as long as he gets the ball, he likes to look forward, but unlike Neymar, Marcelo's breakthrough is mostly for the team's tactical service, and pleasing the audience has become secondary.
"Marcelo and Neymar hit the backcourt of the Chinese team so quickly, which also shows that the Brazilian team is indeed an attack-oriented team, but this is also related to the Chinese team's main defense. ”
Tang Ling and Marcelo kept enough distance and did not grab easily. Marcelo cut out with the ball, cut to the penalty area, Neymar came to answer, Xu Ziyi followed, after Marcelo suddenly arrived parallel to Tang Ling's position, "Peng's head" wanted to take a few more steps, but Tang Ling had already pressed over, the two were very close, plus Neymar's attitude towards the ball was very resolute, so Marcelo still decided to pass the ball to Neymar.
It's just that Marcelo's passing intention is too obvious, Zhao Wenkang has an early card position, and the ball hits his foot and bounces off the sideline. Brazil got a throw-in.
He Wei said: "Now less than a minute into the game, Brazil got a chance to take a throw-in. ”
Xu Yang said with a smile: "The Brazilian team is really menacing, this game has just begun, and they seem to be eager to score goals and win quickly." From this point of view, there should be a lot of pressure on the Chinese team's backline in this game. ”
"That's right. Now I would like to introduce to you the starting lineup of the two sides, the Chinese team uses 442, goalkeeper Ma Junqiang, defenders Huang Yu, Yan Tao, Liang Xiran, Tang Ling, midfielders Xu Zhixin, Chen Zihua, Xu Ziyi and Zhao Wenkang, and forwards Li Mu and Zhang Shujie. The positions of the two forwards are staggered, and Li Mu is closer to the midfield, making the whole formation look somewhat similar to 4411. Brazil also formed a 442 formation, with goalkeeper Alisson, defenders Marcelo, Thiago Silva, David Luiz and Alves, midfielders Casemiro, Paulinho, Coutinho and Willian, and forwards Neymar and Gabriel Jesus. Hey, Xu Yang, before the game, you guessed the main lineup of the Brazilian team, but the right-back position prediction was wrong, and everything else was right. ”
Xu Yang said: "Generally speaking, the teams that have reached the finals have a number in their hearts about their main lineup. ”
The throw-in of the Brazilian team was thrown, Marcelo actually threw it directly into the penalty area, Liang Xiran headed the ball out, Chen Zihua received the ball, Casemi Roma stuck behind Chen Zihua and squeezed it with his body. Chen Zihua gave the ball to Huang Yu, and Huang Yu passed Xu Zhixin again, at this time Chen Zihua had bypassed Casemiro, and Xu Zhixin passed the ball to Chen Zihua again.
With a few simple passes, the Chinese team controlled the ball and took the ball to a distance of 30 meters from the goal. And these three players did not pause in the pass, they all touched the ball with one foot. This situation does not happen by chance, in every game, as long as the Chinese team switches from defense to attack, this kind of passing will appear.
This is also where Sampaoli admires the Chinese team, or where he admires An Rong. In fact, there is nothing new in An Rong's tactics, the key is that he can combine the player's ability with the situation on the pitch to play his best.
For a team sport like football, the player's skill is not only how many people can pass and how gorgeous the action can be played, but also to see the situation on the field in the shortest possible time and maximize the role of each person. The so-called "simplification" is this principle.
The ball arrived at Li Mu's feet, Li Mu knocked it to Xu Ziyi, and Xu Ziyi picked up a pass and gave it to Zhang Shujie. Thiago Silva immediately approached Zhang Shujie's side, and when Zhang Shujie had just taken the ball and was not firmly established, he went to the position, but Zhang Shujie cleverly let it, and the ball fell to the side, and neither of them got the ball. However, Zhang Shujie took advantage of the instant start, and controlled the ball next to Thiago Silva.
David Lewis came over, and the two were about to form a flank attack on Zhang Shujie, Li Mu on one side was running, but he was followed by a William. Compared with other players, Willian's return defense is relatively positive, compared to Sampaoli's arrangement.
Zhang Shujie did not insist on carrying the ball forward, he passed the ball diagonally and distributed the ball to the right side, Zhao Wenkang who was running wanted to catch the ball, Marcelo was not far from him, when the ball reached his feet, Zhao Wenkang suddenly leaked, the ball leaked, and Tang Ling received the ball near the sideline.
There are actually some hidden dangers on this side of the Brazilian team, Neymar will definitely not participate in defense, Marcelo is a defender, but his offensive ability is greater than his defensive ability, and he often does not invest enough in defense. If someone wants to fight him one-on-one, he still has a lot of confidence that he can stop him, mainly because he likes to go deep into the enemy's army, and if the opponent counterattacks, it is difficult for him to return to his position in the first place. Like just now, he was already doing a good job of following Zhao Wenkang, but as for Tang Ling's side, he really didn't have time to run over.
Tang Ling dribbled diagonally into the penalty area, and Casemiro came over to fill in for Marcelo. Casemiro has three tasks in this game, the first is to defend Chen Zihua, the second is to pay attention to the forward insertion when attacking, and the third is to fill in the position for Marcelo. When he was at Real Madrid, Casemiro wiped Marcelo's butt a lot, and when he got to the national team, he still had to do it.
Philippe Coutinho and Gabriel Jesus are back in defence and they have to fill in the positions left by the midfielders. Football is like this, no matter how the head coach arranges the attack and defense before the game, once it is played, it may be a different matter, which requires the players to distinguish the situation on the pitch and make their own judgments, so switching positions is a common thing.
Casemiro approached Tang Ling, who knew that the defender in front of him was one of the best figures in football today, and the two had played a lot in La Liga. Tang Ling slowed down the speed of dribbling, and then accelerated to the bottom line, Casemiro followed, Tang Ling made a move to pass to the goal, "Ka Fat" also raised his foot, but Tang Ling buckled the ball back, deducted a little gap in front of Casemiro, and then passed the ball to the big penalty area.
At this time, Casemiro moved back, and at the moment of Tang Ling's pass, he stretched out a kick, and Tang Ling's pass also rubbed under his feet, and the ball's running route changed slightly. Originally, Tang Ling used Zhang Shujie's cover in the small penalty area to pass the ball to Li Mu's body, but he was rubbed by Casemiro like this, and the ball was a little close to Li Mu when he came to him, and in desperation, Li Mu could only make an adjustment in the penalty area, and then, under Alves's defense, Li Mu barely hit the goal!
The save ball went from the side of the post and rolled out of the bottom line.
