989 is to attack
In their respective countries, reports about the match are making headlines in the media.
And actually.
In Brazil, the host of the World Cup.
The Brazilian media did not care about the feud between Argentina and England.
They were more covering the match between Brazil and Germany.
After all, it's the host.
Due to the injuries of Neymar and Thiago Silva, and the fact that the German team seems to be so tough, many fans believe that it may be difficult for the Brazilian team to get past the German team this time.
The only thing they have to hold is to play at home.
Brazilians are much more optimistic than outsiders think.
There is a saying that goes like this: volleyball is the number one sport in Brazil, and football... It is the faith of Brazilians.
Almost all Brazilians are hoping that Brazil will win the World Cup on home soil, winning the sixth World Cup in their history.
....
"I don't think Brazil can win."
In an interview with Lightkinson at his training base in England, Gao Bo said.
It is a base with a large footprint.
There are three natural grass football fields, a beautiful hotel, a gym and other facilities.
And it's very quiet.
The surrounding area is blocked by a high wall, making it difficult for ordinary people to enter.
England have wrapped up all of this place in order to give the team a quiet space to prepare.
And today is the day of media interviews.
As a well-known commentator for Sky Sports, Lightkinson was given the opportunity to interview Gao Bo.
"Why, Brazil play on home soil, and their lineup is not as bad as Germany's?"
Lightkinson asked with interest.
Not only him, I believe many fans want to know what kind of high-mindedness this Gao Bo, who is regarded as the current No. 1 coach, will have.
"Brazil are too far behind, they rely too much on individual ability."
Gao Bo adjusted his sitting posture slightly and continued.
'I'll be blunt, they relied too much on Neymar in attack and too much on Silva in defence.
"Now, both of them are injured, so..."
Gao Bo spread his hands.
"If I were Scolari, I would be alert, even if I play at home, the Brazilian team has to be lower than the German team, and on the basis of good defense and seek counterattacks, it is possible to win against Germany."
Lightkinson frowned slightly.
To be honest, Gao Bo's words are a bit inappropriate.
After all, he is the manager of England, not Brazil.
However, Lightkinson saw a hint of cunning flash on Gao Bo's face, and he nodded slightly.
Maybe.
Is this intentional on the part of the England manager?
"Can that be said in the press?"
Lightkinson asked.
"It's okay, just report."
Gao Bo waved his hand and said.
....
"What should Brazil do to defeat Germany?!"
When Gao Bo's words appeared in the media, they immediately caused an uproar.
'He's the manager of England and how we play is our business!'
In his pre-match press conference for the first game of the semi-final, Scolari was clearly unhappy with Gobo's remarks.
The old man was carried away by the rage.
"I don't think Gao Bo should be pointing fingers at other teams."
"It's good to be a good manager of England."
"He's out of bounds!"
"How are Brazilians going to play, is it Gobo's turn to speak? We are the kingdom of football. ”
"Fight back? It's really a joke, Brazil won't do that. ”
For a time, it can be said that there was a lot of emotion in Brazil.
Many people are also puzzled by Gao Bo's words.
After all, the World Cup is hosted in Brazil.
What good is it for England to offend the Brazilians?
....
Gobo shook his head when he saw Scolari's response.
This old man is really stubborn.
He's actually well-intentioned.
Because, he remembers, in the original history, how badly Brazil would lose this game...
It's so miserable that Gao Bo can't stand it anymore.
That's why he reminded him.
After all, he would rather play Brazil in the final than Germany.
Merely...
Scolari saw this as his provocation.
It's really kind to be a donkey's liver and lungs.
....
It's not just Scolari and Brazil fans who are outraged by Gobo's remarks.
The same goes for Brazil's players.
This is clearly looking down on them!
Brazilian midfielder Fernandinho, who is also a disciple of Gobo at Manchester City, spoke up and responded: "I will always respect Gobo, he is the best manager I have ever had, but now I must say that he does not understand Brazil. ”
Fernandinho is a disciple of Gao Bo, so he said it politely.
The rest of the Brazilian players don't have much to estimate.
Hulk, a Brazilian who plays for Russian Premier League side Zenit St. Petersburg, responded: "The Brazilian style of football will be an eye-opener for Mr. Gobo. ”
"We have the best players!" , which was the response of the team's main centre-back, Luiz.
The injured Neymar also responded: "Even without me, Brazil is the best team, this is our home stadium!" ”
The players responded.
They're not just talking.
Before the game, Scolari also specially took out Gao Bo's remarks to boost the fighting spirit of the Brazilian players.
"We're going to attack Germany!"
The old man said.
Scolari's idea is also simple.
Thiago Silva is on hand.
The centre-back combination of David Luiz and Dante is not very consistent, and it may be really difficult to keep the ball if you hold on to the defence.
So... Just attack it!!
Fight against the German team!!
This is Brazil's home turf!! 、
Then take advantage of the home field and play the momentum!
It is not impossible to crush Germany!
Even without Neymar.
The rest of the Brazilian players, in Scolari's opinion, are also extremely good, world-class players.
....
When Brazil started out.
Gao Bo and the players were having dinner in the restaurant, and the starting lists of both sides were being played out on the big TV screen in the restaurant.
In the first match of the semi-finals, Brazil and Germany took the lead.
Gao Bo shook his head when he saw this starting list.
"Why, you're so bullish on Brazil?"
Moya asked, sitting across from Gao Bo.
"It's not that I'm not optimistic." Gao Bo said with a smile.
"It's very unfavorable... Especially after this starter came out. It seems that the lovely Mr. Scolari has made up his mind to fight Brazil. ”
"I don't think there's any problem, with the help of the home field, play with momentum, and rush to the final." Moya touched his chin and analyzed.
"Do you think the striker of the Brazilian team is Ronaldo or Adriano?" Gao Bo rolled his eyes.
"Look at their number nine, Fred? Can he play in the number nine position?! ”
"You don't have the ability, you know?"
Gao Bo waved his hand and said.
