Chapter 292: Battle of Brazil (Part II)
The Brazilian national team is the favorite to win this World Cup, although in the 98 World Cup, Zagallo's Brazilian team was swept 3-0 by France in the final, but the Brazilian team coached by Scolari is in the limelight. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In this Brazilian team, the most famous is undoubtedly their "three R" combination in the front, Rivaldo and Ronaldo as the striker, and the Brazilian star Ronaldinho as the front midfield, although the Brazilian team seemed a little slow in the first group stage, but their strength is still worthy of recognition.
For this match against the Chinese team, the players of the Brazilian team are more curious about what kind of performance Liu Han will have, after all, this oriental once made the previous government of Brazil a laughing stock.
In the warm-up before the start of the game, Carlos specifically found Liu Han to say hello.
"Hey, man, you've got to watch out for that bucktooth, he's the heart of our midfield, he's amazing, haha."
Carlos didn't plan to keep it secret for the team at all, but it was a bit like he was talking specifically to Liu Han.
"Well, I watched your last game, and that guy was really good, but Robert, you were teased by that kid from Bayer Leverkusen in the last game, haha (in the match between Brazil and Turkey, Basturk used to make Carlos lose a lot of face with a rainbow)."
"I knew, yes, I'm not going to let out water in this game, man."
In this game, the Chinese team still uses a defensive lineup of 541, but Hao Haixi did not start, the first is the more impactful Zhang Yuning, and Li Xiaopeng on the right side also sat on the bench, Horton sent Yang Pu with better defense, after all, the Brazilian team's lineup in the two wings of the attack is very strong, and the impact of Carlos on the left side is even more full, the Chinese team must do the best if they want to perform, and Yangpu is not afraid of confrontation, has momentum, and is more suitable to target Carlos.
The Brazilian team's lineup looks like 352, but in fact, their style of play is relatively balanced, Scolari completely copied the tactics of the Roma team under Capello in the 00-01 season, Carlos and Cafu were ranked in the full-back position, but both of them have excellent physical strength, the entire wing is their range of activity, attacking and retreating.
Once the game officially began, Brazil attacked first, and they were quite skillful in their coordination, with the double midfielders Gilberto and Kleberson pressing into the midfield.
Liu Han faced the "bucktooth" that Carlos said at the beginning of this game - Ronaldinho, this smiling 22-year-old young man has very good foot skills, even if Liu Han is close to the close, he can hand over the ball to his teammates relatively smoothly.
The game was basically played in the Chinese team's half from the beginning, the strong individual strength of the Brazilian team coupled with the skillful team cooperation made the team full of pressure when attacking, and the forward Ronaldo and Rivaldo also reduced their own singles, and more closely and Ronaldinho frequently changed positions, which made the Chinese team very difficult to defend, after all, the only one who could defend any of the three was Liu Han, and it was difficult for others to prevent these three people.
Only nine minutes after the start of the game, the door of the Chinese team was broken by the Brazilian team, Rivaldo retreated to get the ball and then attracted Liu Han's defense, Liu Han knocked the ball back to Ronaldinho when he was forcing Rivaldo, who sent Ronaldo a precise straight stopper, the seemingly tight defense of the Chinese team was instantly penetrated, and Ronaldo easily pushed and broke through the gate guarded by Jiang Jin.
Only the cooperation of the three people in the front court easily broke the defense of the Chinese team, the strength of the Brazilian team is really strong, and they played very calmly, without a sense of urgency, and even the celebration after the goal was very calm.
In the face of such a goal, the Chinese team seemed helpless, and even Liu Han himself was inevitably a little frustrated.
After the game restarted, the Chinese team served in the middle circle to attack, Liu Han took the initiative to run to the front court to participate in the attack, trying to lead his teammates to counterattack, but when he passed the ball to the left side, Zhao Junzhe looked very nervous in the face of Cafu, and was cut off by the opponent's easy card position, and the Chinese team's attack did not even splash a little splash.
After that, the game became a half-court offensive and defensive drill for the Brazilian team, and the Chinese team was able to withstand the opponent's attack with little strength after almost all the players returned to the defense.
However, in the 27th minute of the game, Brazil had another chance.
Liu Han returned to the penalty area to force Ronaldo who took the ball, Ronaldo deserved the title of alien, he still passed the ball cleverly under the sandwich of Liu Han and Li Weifeng, Ronaldinho was ready to shoot after winning the ball in the penalty area, and the veteran Fan Zhiyi tripped Ronaldinho directly under the last resort, and the Brazilian team got a penalty opportunity.
Ronaldo comfortably converted the penalty to give Brazil a two-goal lead.
However, this was not the biggest blow to the Chinese team, and then before the end of the first half, the Brazilian team won a direct free kick in front, Carlos hit a shot with his left foot with a speed of more than 130 kilometers from the goal, Jiang Jin was completely helpless in the face of such a shocking free kick.
In the first half, they fell behind 3-0, and the Chinese team was completely intimidated by the strong strength of the Brazilian team.
With a three-goal deficit and dragging their physically and mentally exhausted bodies, the Chinese team hurried back to the locker room after the whistle blew at half-time.
"Ma Dan, I can't keep up at all, I am completely pressed and beaten."
As soon as he returned to the locker room, the players vented their frustration, and Horton was also very helpless in the face of such a situation, after all, what he could do had been done, and he was left to play in person.
"We can't keep it like this anymore, there's no point at all, we have to attack it."
Liu Han, as the captain, spoke first, but his words were not recognized by his teammates.
"Da Liu, I know you're not convinced, but how to attack it, it's difficult for us to even pass the half, and no one takes the ball at all when you pass the ball to the front court, so you can't supply it at all."
Fan Zhiyi, the oldest in the team, said with some emotion.
"I'll go to the front, I'll get the ball, the defense will be handed over to you, I need someone to keep up quickly after I get the ball, do you dare to fight with me?"
"Liu, don't be impulsive, you go up and attack, it's hard for our defense to be tight, it will make us concede more goals."
Hearing Liu Han's words, Horton was also a little anxious, and he said directly in English.
"Losing one and losing ten are losses, but we can't just accept our fate, sir, only by attacking can we have the hope of turning the tables, and if we keep it, we will only lose, I don't accept my fate, how to go on the road, I want to choose myself." (To be continued.) )
