From the very beginning of the first half, the two sides used very different styles, which made the game enter a strange rhythm.

If it is not mixed with ideological bias, then the match between China and Brazil is two temperatures, two colors, and two different worlds.

The Chinese team was very targeted defensively, and they effectively controlled the frontal field from 25m to 40m in front of goal, but at the cost of allowing the Brazilians to do whatever they wanted on the flank, and their butts would always be cold until the Brazilians pressed hard.

However, there are losses and gains, and it has become very difficult for the Brazilians to attack the frontal battlefield from the middle, and the closer they get to the goal, the greater the defensive resistance, and if they are not careful, they will be divided and fall into the trap set by the Chinese team.

So far, the Brazilian players have only been able to rely on their individual ability to penetrate near the penalty area on both sides, and even the Brazilian, who is good at small-scale coordination, feels seamless.

However, the Brazilian's usual presence in this area is enough to pose a big threat to the defence.

But today, whether Brazil's wide players cut inside, crossed into the box, or crossed from the bottom, Lin Yaodong will always be a wall that is difficult for them to bypass, and he can always use his personal play to eliminate the danger in the last line of defense.

Halfway through the first half, Lin Yaodong had already made three wonderful and effective saves in front of the goal, and defused several passes into the penalty area.

It was a glamorous performance, but the Chinese defenders and midfielders were not without credit, as they managed to block the threat from the front, leaving Lin Yaodong with only a focus on attacking from a 45-degree direction.

This trade-off limits the opportunities that the Brazilians can exploit, or rather, this is the opportunity for the Chinese team to deliberately stay.

Under the premise of the other party's limited choice, Lin Yaodong gave full play to his ability today, and he was in a state of being a man in front of the door.

This kind of defense has naturally attracted the yin and yang weirdness of the commentaries of various countries, but this has already been calculated, and their performance on the offensive end is the black spot of the Western commentators' verbal criticism.

The reason is simple, they play too ugly on the offensive end!

Today, as long as the Chinese team gets the ball, it is a non-aggressive lateral transfer, if it encounters resistance, it will be even more excessive, immediately pass back, all the way back to the goal, in short, it is rare to see them actively moving forward, it can be said that there is no enterprising.

This kind of unornamental and ugly offense makes the ball transfer to the Chinese team's side, and the originally smooth rhythm will become boring.

The two strikers of the Chinese team also have slots, and when they saw the configuration of the double forwards, they thought that the Chinese team was going to have a vigorous confrontation with the Brazilians.

But the opposite is true, these two strikers are the defenders who stay up front, and as soon as the football reaches the Brazilian half, they will come forward and press.

This kind of pressing Brazilians is not afraid, because even the two central defenders in the Brazilian team have the same delicate passing skills, and even have good long-range shooting ability.

But the two strikers with speed and confrontation, especially the frontcourt pressure brought by the monster Wu Jie, still made the Brazilians dare not reverse the ball like the Chinese team in the backfield, and of course they did not bother to do so.

As a result, the Brazilians basically launched an attack on the front court when they had the ball, and the Chinese team shrank in the backfield for meaningless kicks as soon as they got the ball.

After watching the game for more than 20 minutes, many neutral fans have become black fans of the Chinese team.

But Santana on the sidelines felt worse and worse, and after the defeat in the last World Cup, he had long understood that this kind of fragmented game contained ever-changing dangers and opportunities in every moment.

His worries are not wrong, the Chinese team's "chain defense version 2.0" on the offensive end of the killer move, is to suddenly change the pace of defense and offense in a fragmented game, and play a dream moment in the most difficult offense or defense!

In the 33rd minute of the first half, Socrates, who had been besieged and cut, suddenly discovered the vacancy of the Chinese team in the frontal battlefield.

He didn't think much about it, he just felt that there was a flaw in the Chinese team's defense.

It's no wonder that he lacks vigilance, the Chinese team's defense is unprecedented, it is difficult to see the situation clearly in the game, and even Santana, who has been worried on the sidelines, actually did not see that the danger was coming.

But if you look at it from a bird's eye view, you can see that the Chinese players have quietly formed a diamond shape around the open space, but the distance between them is a little far.

Socrates did not produce enough vigilance, and the Chinese team's defense did not take the initiative to wrap the ball, as long as the Brazilians did not invade the frontal battlefield, the Chinese team would not take the initiative to exert force, but through layers of contraction and cutting, like a slowly closing net to force the opponent to complete the attack before the encirclement.

But this time, the Chinese team not only laid a trap, but their defensive rhythm and defensive aggressiveness also suddenly accelerated and strengthened by one gear.

When Yurkinho passed the ball to Socrates, the four players who had been ambushed by the Chinese team instantly completed the contraction from four directions.

Socrates fell into the encirclement in the blink of an eye, but as a seasoned veteran, he did not panic and quickly looked for the ball spot.

But after a quick look around, he couldn't find any point where he could get the ball?

This is very deadly, Socrates has always been known for his creativity and imagination in passing, but this time the Chinese team's diamond cut not only has no dead ends, but the entire defense area has been blocked even after rapid compression.

The Brazilian players also found Socrates in a tight trap and rushed to pick up the game, but it was clearly too late.

Socrates remained calm in a desperate situation, knowing that if he rushed the ball now, it would be easy for the Chinese team to break the ball and counterattack.

Now the best choice is to use your superb skills to wrestle with the opponent, even if you lose the ball, you have to give your teammates a chance to return to defense, as long as you are not counterattacked by the Chinese team, a mere mistake is nothing.

But it's a pity that the first one to come up and break the ball was Chen Haonan, so he wouldn't give Socrates a chance to delay, and saw the timing for a clean break, leaving behind the embarrassed Brazilian midfield core.

At this moment, there is also a mess in the backfield defense of the Brazilian team, Socrates' loss of the goal is not a disaster, which midfield core will not make such mistakes, Wu Jie and Chen Haonan have many similar mistakes.

The Brazilians' real problem is that both full-backs are pressing, which means that Brazil will only have two centre-backs at the back and a defender Cerezo who will have time to get back into defence.

After receiving the pass, Wu Jie faced the front and back packs of Cesar and Cerezo, and decisively passed to Wang Dongning, who was pulling to the side, and accelerated to sprint forward.

The Brazilians already knew that it was not good, Wang Dongning did not bring the ball himself after receiving the pass, and quickly passed the ball to the open space behind the Brazilian, which was a simple two-by-one.

But this simple coordination quickly turned into the deadliest counterattack under Wu Jie's astonishing sprint speed.

Cesar and Cerezo chased after them with all their might, but they were still thrown away by Wu Jie in the blink of an eye, and this absolute crushing speed made the two Brazilian players feel deeply powerless.

Gallo didn't hesitate at this time, he just abandoned the goal and rushed out of the penalty area.

The Brazilian goalkeeper knows that staying in the penalty area to face Wu Jie's one-knife ball, there is absolutely no chance of being spared!

But is it any better to leave the door?

Wu Jie's speed brought a sense of unreality to everyone, but it also told people the answer in advance.

Gallo had just rushed out of the penalty area, and when there was still a few meters away from the football, Wu Jie caught up with the football first, and a simple change of direction passed the current Brazil's No. 1 goalkeeper.

Half of the Brazilian fans at the scene couldn't help but cover their eyes, because the next scene was too cruel!

Wu Jie did not humiliate the opponent when the goal was empty, such as deliberately stopping in front of the goal with the ball, taunting and then dialing the ball in.

After getting rid of Gallo, he kicked the ball into the empty net with a simple push.

Cesar and Cerezo had no idea of blocking the ball before it rolled into the goal line, because Wu Jie threw the two five meters away in a sprint that was just over 30 meters away.

The most tragic of all was Cerezo, who fell to the ground in the process of forced acceleration and could not get up until the ball rolled into the goal.

Brazil coach Santana's face turned a lot whiter, and he thought that the Chinese would use dense defense against them.

But he didn't expect that although the Chinese team had a large number of defenders, it was not a dense defense in the traditional sense at all, and it looked different from Italy's defensive system.

He can be sure of that because the last World Cup made him too impressed with the Italians' defence.

The Chinese team's defense does not rely on physical fitness to press individually like Italy, but uses two defensive chains to cut and compress the most dangerous areas, with the ultimate goal of forcing them to shoot in the areas where there is little threat.

But the worst thing is this, those areas that have been deliberately opened up are all within the range of shots in the eyes of these Brazilian players, why don't they dare to shoot?

The Brazilian didn't just dare to shoot, but the shooting statistics in the first 30 minutes of the first half showed that the Chinese goalkeeper had a near-dominant performance on these shots, which was a trap for Chinese!!

Just when Santana on the sidelines felt that he was careless, Wu Jie on the court was already celebrating with his "alien flip", which has caused the death of one imitator around the world, the serious injury of two mimics, and I don't know how many minor injuries have been caused since its inception.

"Wu's goal, and how wonderful this celebration is, how ugly the Chinese team's playing style is today!"

"I can't believe that such an unenterprising team can be the leading side, maybe that's the benefit of having an alien!"

"Poor Brazilians, they played good football, but now they are on the side behind and we all know what it means to be behind against aliens!"

“……”

At this moment, the yin and yang weirdness from all over the world fully explains what "double standard" is, and no one discusses what is different from the Chinese team's defense compared to the past.

Santana also only saw the Chinese team use chain defense to cut and extreme compression in the frontal battlefield, but did not see that this chain defense has added the attributes of zone defense.

Today, the Chinese players did not turn around and chase after being passed, but immediately ran to the next defense area, so that their dense defensive formation was like a spring under pressure, and the deeper they went, the more powerful the rebound and resistance became.

In many cases, they don't even press closely, but take the initiative to retreat, deliberately opening up a lane for the Brazilian players to break through.

However, the deeper they went into the defensive zone, the more resistance the Brazilian players encountered, and in the end, they either got stuck in the quagmire and made mistakes, or were forced to shoot from the position that Lin Yaodong was already ready for.

The reason why Chinese players dare to play such a mille-feuille style of defense is precisely because they have absolute trust in Lin Yaodong and think that this kind of prepared shooting from outside the box is not a threat to him.

The Brazilians still don't understand the true intentions of the Chinese team, and now that the score is behind, they will naturally be more impatient, and then the Chinese team will have more and more opportunities to counterattack.

But in theory, although this is true, Brazil is after all a representative of offensive football, and even artistic football.

Such a team's counterattack after injury, even if it is targeted with a defensive system that transcends the times, still makes the Chinese team feel like a storm.

Brazil's two wings are even more frantic in their attacks, especially the two full-backs who seem to be living in the front, constantly using their skillful dribbling to make sharp breakthroughs to the Chinese team.

In the 40th minute, Li Junwei lost even the opportunity to move to the defensive area behind him under Blanco's fierce breakthrough with a trace of delicateness, because he was overconfident in his speed and he was directly shaken down.

But that didn't make a fatal hole in China's defence, with two defenders on Blanco's breakthrough path soon on the line.

Blanco glanced at Socrates, who was still cut, and was about to kick himself outside the penalty area when he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"That guy is pressing, go fill in the position!"

Lin Yaodong saw Cerezo in the penalty area and pressed up, and hurriedly signaled his teammates to go up to fill the position.

But this accident was unexpected by the Chinese players, the Brazilian was just because the fullback pressed and they counterattacked, and now this back actually dares to press up, isn't he afraid of Wu Jie?

Of course Cerezo is afraid, but Brazilians are so passionate and unrestrained in their bones.

After the Chinese team's defense was inserted by Cerezo, a hole was finally poked out, and the overall operation began to become chaotic.

At this time, Careca suddenly ran back spiritually, and the defense of the Chinese team fell into complete chaos, and for a while, several players had repeated marking and supplementing the defense, so naturally some Brazilian players were leaked.

"Louis Müller!"

This top striker, who played three World Cups for the Brazilian national team in the original plane, although this time he acted as Carreca's wingman, he already has the level of his own strength in terms of strength.

The Chinese missed a lethal threat, and after Karekara came out of the box, he first received the ball with his back to Socrates, who touched the ball and picked it directly into the box.

Muller understood it and got away from the defence in a textbook offside position, and when he managed to make his way to the six-yard box, he was less than five metres away from goal.

At this time, Muller did not wait for the football to hit the ground with a cushion shot, aiming in the opposite direction to Lin Yaodong's movement, a world-class run and shot.

The Brazilian fans in the "Aztec Stadium" have already raised their arms and shouted, such a close-range shot, such a world-class cushion shot, can the Chinese goalkeeper still save the ball?

"Hello, yes!"

Lin Yaodong used a reaction close to the limit of human beings to prove that he could make a save at such a close distance, and even seal the ball directly.

"What?"

"God, is he a dog?"

"Did he flash? How could he move so fast? ”

After the Brazilian players saw Lin Yaodong jumping up diagonally on the spot, and actually leaned back to block the football out of bounds with his long arms, many people were already kneeling on the ground with their heads in frustration, and the most desperate expression was Muller, who completed the shot!

"This is my territory, if you dare to break in, I think you are killing yourself!"

After Lin Yaodong made such an extreme save, of course, he couldn't just pretend to be there without saying anything.

The trash talk that was yelled at the Brazilian was tantamount to another stab at the already injured Brazilian.

The knife also poured cold water on the Brazilian's angry counter-attack, and they had ten shots on goal in the first half, seven of which were in the woodwork.

But none of these shots that should have been scored a long time ago could break through Lin Yaodong's ten fingers, and even such a must-have goal was blocked, so what kind of shot can break through his goal?
