Chapter 451: Caught in the Burn
The players from both sides entered, and the trophy of the Olympic men's football champion stood at the door of the players' tunnel, and when the players on the left and right sides passed the trophy, their eyes unconsciously focused on the past, and Bai Canhao of course also looked at the trophy.
Subsequently, the team played a song, shook hands, and the referee on duty asked the captains of both sides to gather over to pick sides.
This is the final, and unlike before, the referee in the final was not the referee of the opening game, but the referee of the third round of the Group A group stage, which seems to have a better advantage for the Brazilian team, after all, in the last group stage Brazil's big win over Nigeria, the referee once awarded Brazil a penalty in the opening three minutes.
At the end of the song performance, the scene was boiling instantly, and as the cheers ended, the players in the field could clearly hear the exclusive cheering sound, "Dong Dong Dong, Bang" With the beat, the fans present all shouted four words.
Feeling the support of the fans, in the field, Baek Chan-ho, who finished picking the side, returned to his own half, and began to walk to the right side after cheering with the players, in the process, Baek Chan-ho saw Kim Taeyeon behind the sideline billboard, kissed the ring in his hand to Kim Tae-yeon, and showed the last smile before the game began.
As the game began, the scene immediately became intense, the Brazilian team used the tactics of the first game, and did not take advantage of the favorable conditions to attack the South Korean team, after these games, the Brazilian team also realized that it was not so simple to attack the strong-willed South Korean team.
And the slightest mistake in the process of attacking may be caught by the South Korean team to counterattack, especially Bai Chanhao, who returned to the right side, at this time. Brazil's left-right defenders were the most nervous of the players.
His mission is to defend against Bai Canhao. Don't let Bai Canhao go in and out of the left side of the Brazilian team like no one. It's definitely a test for the young players, and if they manage to defend against Baek Chan-ho in this game, the European giants will beckon him, and on the contrary, his career will be a big hit.
Baek Chan Ho is not a bad person, and likewise, he is not a benevolent person when facing opponents. To be merciful to the enemy is to be cruel to oneself, this lesson has been heard in the mouths of the team's seniors since childhood, no matter how good the brothers in the club are, they must fight to the death when they return to the national team, and no one on the field of the Brazilian team is a brother of their own club.
Some are rivals, former La Liga national derby rivals, and later Premier League title rivals.
In the 12th minute of the first half, after a series of small combinations on the left side of the Brazilian team, the midfield defense was torn open, and Neymar moved to the middle with the ball, and Oscar in front of him was setting the edge. Goulart is aggressively moving forward.
Seeing the defenders come forward to intercept, Neymar was not greedy. A pass was chosen, and the ball was passed to a teammate on the right in the middle, and then Neymar started to start.
Bai Canhao, who retreated to participate in the defense, followed the route started by Neymar in the pursuit, and soon, the ball hit the left side, and Oscar on the side of the set shook the fullback who stepped forward to mark the defense, Ji Chengyong hurriedly went over to make up for the defense, and when Ji Chengyong did not post it, Oscar found his teammate to cross with his feet.
The ball flew directly into the penalty area, the penalty spot position, Neymar and Bai Canhao were competing for the point of the header, the two of them had some movements in their hands, the moment they jumped up, Bai Canhao and Neymar had no physical contact at all, Bai Canhao grabbed in front of Neymar, and after jumping high, he found that the ball could not be topped.
Behind him, the moment Neymar jumped, his arm was naturally placed on the back of Bai Canhao's neck, and with a downward pressure, Bai Canhao's center of gravity was affected, and he couldn't top the ball in the first place, and now he couldn't stand it, behind him, Neymar shook his head at the ball.
"Bang", the ball hit the bottom line of the measurement, just when Neymar and Oscar felt pity, the referee blew the whistle, the offensive player fouled first, and Neymar had a move in his hand to press Bai Canhao's neck.
Neymar was very unconvinced by this penalty, after the team pulled up Bai Canhao, Bai Canhao also ate the referee's penalty scale, the problem should not be big, and it will not be obviously biased towards the host Brazilian team, so as not to suffer a lot of losses when defending.
At the end of the last game, the South Korean team also organized a very dangerous attack, midfielder Ji Chengyong launched a fast attack, and the two wings of Son Heung-min and Baek Chan-ho quickly forked, first handed the ball to the front midfielder, and Ji Chengyong was also moving laterally.
After the two passes cooperated, the ball ran to the top of the arc of the penalty area about 29 meters from the goal, and the defenders had to be distracted to focus on the two sides because the players on the edge were the two biggest attacking threats in the Korean team.
Taking advantage of this emptiness, after the front waist was knocked horizontally, Ji Chengyong directly raised his foot from behind to shoot a long shot, and the sudden long shot also surprised the goalkeeper, fortunately, the position was good, and although Ji Chengyong's ball was full of strength, the angle was not very good, and he was dragged out by the goalkeeper's fists.
The player who followed behind did not receive the ball, and the second chance to attack was missed, and the opposing defender cleared the touchline.
Then the sideline ball was thrown, Bai Canhao received the ball and was put to the ground by the opposing player when he broke through, and got a free kick opportunity in front of the bottom line.
The whole first half looked anxious and a little dull, both sides played very carefully, the tempo was not very fast, the back and forth attacks were all about preventing possible mistakes, and the coaches on both sides were not in a hurry to let their players launch crazy attacks.
After 15 minutes of halftime, the two teams made the same adjustment of the players on the field at the same time, and from this adjustment, both teams began to launch the final attack.
After a dull 75 minutes, in the final 15 minutes, both coaches figured out the pressing attack to win the final, and the players on the field were also actively running and defending, or participating in the attack.
Mistakes also began to gradually increase, in the 79th minute, the Brazilian team launched a fast attack again, and soon attacked the area near the penalty area of the South Korean team in the second half, Neymar took the ball to break through a defender, pulled down the bottom line and cut inside at the same time inverted triangle passed to the top of the arc of the big penalty area, where ambushed Oscar and Goulart two players.
Goulart didn't go to catch the ball, Oscar made a move to shoot after the ball, but in fact it was a false shot, stopped with the arch of his foot and begged to the left wave, trying to enter the penalty area, Ji Chengyong was nearby, hurriedly stepped forward to stick to the strong, just stretched out his foot, Oscar fell to the ground.
When the "Didi" whistle sounded, the South Korean fans instantly quieted down, and the anchor and commentator also said in a panic: "No, the Oscar player fell in the penalty area, the referee ran over, and the Ji Chengyong player didn't touch the Oscar player, ah, the referee still pointed to the penalty spot." ”
The penalty was awarded at this time, which was a huge psychological pressure and challenge for the South Korean team, the goalkeeper stood in front of the goal and couldn't help but get nervous, but Bai Canhao told him: "Don't think about anything, lower left corner, remember." ”
Yes, it was Neymar who took the penalty, according to Bai Canhao's understanding of Neymar in La Liga, Neymar likes to shoot in the lower left corner, which can be said to be the only way.
Pushing away a few steps, the whistle sounded again, and when everyone was holding their breath, Bai Canhao began to move and stared at the position of the ball, and sure enough, Neymar pushed the shot to the bottom left corner, and the goalkeeper who flew out looked at the incoming ball with all his strength, stretched out his arm and pounced the ball from the front of the goal line.
The opposing player immediately entered the penalty area, but unfortunately they saw an opposing player wearing a white jersey kick the ball out of the line first.
In the field, all the players ran to the goalkeeper to high-five and encourage, Bai Canhao touched his head and said: "I know you can" and then cheered everyone up, and the game continued. (To be continued......)
