6. The Frozen Gate
The fans in the stadium were still calmly seated in their seats, waving red shields and cheering for their hometown team. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Russians have extraordinary calmness, they are hungry for victory, but they are also determined that their team can win.
For many years, no matter what difficulties they faced, the powerful Russians have come out of the predicament with the tenacious will to fight against the ice and snow.
Throughout the winter, in the bitter cold of the snowstorm, there is no stove, only wine, which can bring out the most powerful human potential.
The howling cold wind, the ice and snow that froze through the world, sealed this continent and isolated the troubles of the outside world, and they endured unimaginable sufferings from others, and grew and strengthened in the experience.
Lin: Now the two sides are once again on the starting line, which is a great encouragement for the Egyptian team playing away. They began to fight more aggressively, frantically attacking.
Wang: People are all hungry, they haven't been in the World Cup for a long time before, and they were punched first at someone's home stadium, and they were a little blinded, but after they scored, their confidence came up, and they dared to think about victory.
Lin: It's good to have an idea, but Russia is playing at home and after they were scored a goal, they started to strengthen their defense. The back four and two defensive midfielders formed a hexagonal formation, surrounding Egypt's attacking players in the centre.
Wang: Russia's defense is known as the 'frozen world', and they are trying their best to defend it, and it is really difficult for ordinary teams to break through.
Lin: An ice-blue jersey, dancing in the wind, wherever the ball goes, there are immediately defenders to follow, not giving an inch, and defending closely.
They were tall and mighty, forming an impenetrable forest of ice and snow, using their hard bodies and tenacious will to resist the Egyptian team's attacks again and again.
Wang: Modern football, mainly offensive football, and defensive teams, is destined to not go further, but all the teams that have achieved something, are solid defense, if there is no top defense as the backing, blindly pursue offense, and the opponent to fight for offense, although the field is good-looking, but it belongs to the 'kill a thousand, self-damage 800' style of play.
Spain and Germany have been able to achieve good results in various competitions, which is inseparable from their tight defensive system.
Of course, they also have a fierce attack, with sharp spears and strong iron shields, so that they can defeat all kinds of strong enemies.
Lin: The Egyptians launched another strong onslaught, this time on the left side, using El Shaarawy's containment to feint in the middle, but Salah took advantage of the cover and ran to the left hinterland.
When the ball arrived, after a wide range of guided balls by many players of the Egyptian team, a gap was finally torn open.
Wang: El Shaarawy has been caught in the key bag, and Elneny interspersed with runs to attract the defence, which is why Salah surprised this time with a wing stab.
Lin: The Russians are going to pay the price for their negligence.
The two defenders chased left and right and went down to cut the ball at Salah's feet, but Salah was already on his feet.
Knocked the ball out like a cannonball from the middle of the two defenders, instantly blasting away the hot space.
The colorful football, drawing a beautiful arc, flew to the far point of the goal.
Wang: The players of the Russian team immediately formed a circle and rushed up to block the flight of this football.
No. 17 Ivanov grabbed the front point and immediately shook his head to push the ball out of the bottom line. This crisis can be regarded as a difficult way to get over.
Egypt's well-orchestrated attack fell short, but a corner was won.
Lin: The Egyptian team is really a thief, and under the heavy package of Russia, they can still find a slight opportunity. Although it did not succeed, it also shows the courage of the Egyptians.
Looking at this corner kick again, the Egyptian team arranged for Shaarawy to serve. He is the soul of the entire Egyptian team and plays a very important role in the combing of the Egyptian team's attack.
This time he hit a powerful high float with the outside of his right foot, spun and flew to the right back point where the most people gathered.
Wang: A piece of ice blue and blood red are flying, like a struggle between ice and fire, entangled with each other, but the focus is on the football that is only the size of a head.
Lin: In the midst of the chaos, the ball was suddenly grabbed by a person, poked out with one foot, and flew to the upper left corner.
It was Egypt's Lionel Messi Salah, who relied on his excellent sense of the point to take the lead in this opportunity.
The Russian defenders want to make up for it again, but it is too late, and they can only watch the goalkeeper Akinfeev.
Wang: A good goalkeeper can act as the backbone of a team's defense and is the most important component of the entire defensive line.
Even, a good goalkeeper can form an impregnable line of defense. Let all the opponent's attacks go to naught.
Lin: Akinfeev slid quickly under his feet, then jumped up with his left foot as the axis, and at the same time swung his right arm, which skyrocketed three feet, and struck the flying football.
Wang: The Russian goalkeeper is 185cm tall and is the captain of CSKA Moscow, and he is extremely talented, and when he was only 18 years and 20 days old, he was selected for the national team to represent his country. Became the youngest player in the history of Russia.
This is why Zagoev, the soul of the team today, can only be ranked second. He is also the captain of the young Russian national team.
Lin: Bang, the fist collided with the football, and the ball finally slowed down and changed direction.
The ball was blocked and flew towards the edge of the box on the left.
The crisis is still not resolved, because the 'little pharaoh' Shaarawi has already rushed over.
Two Russian defenders chased desperately, affecting his chances of receiving the ball and shooting.
Wang: The Russians have already been shot through the goal by this talented goalscorer because of a mistake, which has led to the current score of 1:1.
With less than 20 minutes remaining, the Russians will have to give it their all to at least hold on to the draw.
Otherwise, as the host, in the first game, he was attacked and killed by a recognized weak team, which is really shameless.
Lin: El Shaarawy is pressed by two people, not to mention waiting for an opportunity to shoot, but it is difficult to even touch the ball.
In the end, the ball was kicked off the sideline by No. 5 Neustadt.
Wang: At this time, the strong body of the Russians occupied an absolute advantage in defense.
With the sharp talons and pointed beak of the eagle, they pounced on the weak prey.
Lin: If the Russians are eagles, then the Egyptians are a nimble and cunning snake, waiting for an opportunity and being ferocious.
As the game progressed, the Egyptian team was already on a par with the Russians in attack, and even had a two-time lead of 12 to 10 shots on goal.
If it weren't for a solid backline, I'm afraid the score would have been rewritten by now.
Here, the Russian goalkeeper Akinfeev must be given 32 likes, and it was his left and right blocks that kept Egypt's shots out again and again to keep the goal alive.
Wang: Well, seeing him, I can't help but think of the legendary goalkeeper of the Russian generation, Yashin, who is known as the 'Black Spider'.
Akinfeev, since he became the main goalkeeper of the national team, has repeatedly made miraculous achievements, and still holds the proud record of 7 consecutive club games without conceding a goal, and the national team has not conceded a goal for 385 consecutive minutes.
It can be said that whether Russia can advance depends on Zagoyev, and whether it can achieve a good ranking depends on Akinfeev.
Lin: You can see that his eyes are as cold as a glacier through the ages, and he stands in the goal, like a ravine in the middle of a lofty mountain, which deters intruders.
With his nimble footwork and accurate judgment, he formed a frozen world, completely isolating the goal from the outside world. It's really difficult to cut through the ice wall.
Wang: As time goes on, both sides want to score again, win this game and take the lead in the group.
After all, they still have to face the Portuguese team led by Cristiano Ronaldo, and no one is sure that they can beat them, or even draw, depending on Portugal's form.
Lin: The Russian team's attacking routine is relatively simple, using their physical advantage to create opportunities for Zagoev to shoot, and they also used their running position many times to block the reinforcement of other defenders, allowing Zagoev to face one or two defenders and make individual attacks.
But the Egyptian team would rather kick the ball directly off the line and give you a corner kick than give you a chance to break through and shoot.
Wang: Zagoev is still relatively poor, but the physical fitness against the Egyptian team is still good.
He is not like Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, who combine strength, speed and skill, he can only rely on dexterous skills and surprise attacks to create a threat.
Let him play a thousand miles to ride alone, as a main line attack, which is obviously not his forte. But it can't be helped, the Russian team, there are no other players with super attacking power, he can only take on the responsibility of the assault.
Lin: Time was running out, the linesman raised the sign for three minutes of stoppage time, and the two sides were still tied 1:1.
There were not many opportunities left for the two teams, and the Russians pressed all eight of them to the halfway line except for two defenders and a goalkeeper.
It looks like they're going to carry out a wreckant attack.
Wang: Russia patiently passed the ball with its feet in the midfield, and it was still so accurate, concise, and in place.
Dzyuba made a counter-run with Zagoev and stealthily flicked the ball to Kokorin, who was in the open space behind him.
Lin: Dzyuba to the left, Zagoev to the right, the trio is in a triangle, and Kokorin can shoot on his own or try to pass.
Yes!! Kokorin still chose to believe in himself, facing the defenders of the defense and shooting angrily from the left side of the penalty area.
The whirring wind sounded in the ears, and the ball, with a strong spin, rushed directly to the upper right corner of the goal.
Wang: The goalkeeper is attacking!! His outstretched arm was still 10 centimeters away from the spinning football.
Lin: The goalkeeper tried his best, but he still didn't touch a piece of the ball.
But the ball was kicked a little high, and with a hint of regret it leaped over the crossbar and the junction of the right post, and fell unwillingly off the field.
Wang: With a long whistle from the referee, the first match of this World Cup came to an end, and finally Russia and Egypt drew 1:1.
Lin: Thank you to so many spectators for being able to accompany us through this wonderful game in the middle of the night.
Good night, everyone! The World Cup has just begun, it is not to be missed, from tomorrow there will be several matches and I will bring you the match of Spain vs Australia.
