Chapter 120: Jesus Save Brazil! (2-in-1)

In the history of the World Cup, 130 teams that trailed by at least two goals in the first half have never come back from behind to win - five draws and 125 defeats without counting penalty shootouts are naturally not good news for Brazil, and if the law works, then the best result for Brazil is only to drag the game to penalties.

What's more, Neymar also has a cursed "Kazan mural", the last game didn't work, then this one will also work, in the pictures spoofed by fans, Ronaldo Messi has already gotten on the plane, but still asks the plane to take off late-

Because Neymar hasn't come yet.

But I believe that he will come.

Now it's not just Neymar, the whole Brazil is panicking. A team that can only be slaughtered by Brazil's 8 goals should be easy to score, why is the offensive firepower also improved in the second half, and it is still so difficult to score a goal! Moreover, Tite's shortcomings in the line-up led to the risk of the team being counter-attacked and conceding again at any time.

It's just that for some reason, the performance of several major attackers of the Chinese team in the second half was also a little abnormal, not as sharp as in the first half.

In the 58th minute, Rong Zhixing took the ball to the front and stuffed the ball straight into the penalty area on the right side, Li Huitang knocked the ball across the middle near the bottom line, but Wu Lei's push in front of the goal was slightly higher than the crossbar.

After the Brazilian team got the opportunity to attack, Fernandinho passed the ball in the midfield, Neymar, who received the ball, knew that he would squeeze in and the opponent would shovel himself like a chicken blood, changed his strategy, and sent a straight plug in the front court, Firmino, who received the ball, burst into the penalty area and buckled with his left foot, but failed to buckle the opponent, the ball was blocked by Jia Xiuquan, and it hit the outside of the penalty area, Neymar rushed up on the left side of the penalty area, and the ball was directly a left-footed volley at a small angle -

But the ball was still saved by Fu Yubin from the bottom line.

Since the opening of the goalkeeper of the Chinese team, there has basically been no mistake or escape, and the stability is outrageous, so angry that Bindi in the stands hurriedly called outside the field - don't make a mistake, the No. 1 goalkeeper of the Chinese team must not only pierce his legs, but also pierce his hands!

I've got a pair of arms tied all over me!

I don't know if it's really that coincidental, just after Bindi gave the order, the Brazilian team took a corner kick, Neymar kicked out, and the astute Firmino detoured back to the middle to shake off the defenders, successfully received the ball, and shot at the goal-

The power is not very big, the ball bounced to the front of the goal, and Fu Yubin actually got out of his hand with a pounce!

There was chaos in the penalty area, the players were crowded, and the ball unfortunately bounced at Marcelo's feet, Marcelo rushed to shoot in the melee, Fu Yubin saw that the ball was too late, and he could only be helpless!

But!

At the moment when the ball was about to cross the line, someone ran to the goal line with his back to the goal, raised his foot and made a "stupid donkey", the goal line saved, and knocked the ball out!

"Wessie"!

Ah no, Captain Gao has finally stood out once!

"Ouch! F-" Bindi was about to get up and cheer, but he was forced to hold back again, like other Brazilian fans, naturally hoping that the ball had crossed the goal line in its entirety, but it seemed unlikely, and now the monitoring facilities in the stadium were so tight.

But Bindi finally gave himself some relief:

At least it shows that the villain is effective!

Right! Stab! Keep stabbing me hard!

Before Bindi pulled out of the joy of almost scoring a goal, the Chinese team counterattacked to the Brazilian team's half, Rong Zhixing was like a real Pele, driving straight with the ball all the way, the boy in red, chic and calm, the ball seemed to stick to the soles of his feet, and he went to the middle of the penalty area to distribute the ball to Li Huitang on the left!

Alisson strikes!

Li Huitang calmly pushes in the face of Alisson, who is attacking!

The ball wasn't fast, but it went through Alisson's "little goal" at just the right angle and rolled towards the goal!

At the same time, almost all Chinese fans jumped up, wanting to welcome the arrival of another goal, and the hearts of Brazilian fans were almost in their throats!

Fortunately, Miranda cleared the ball in front of the goal in time to complete the imminent rescue. In his thirties, he was a little out of breath, but he still proved his steadiness at critical moments.

Although Brazil were a bit unlucky and have conceded two goals, they were the best defensive team before, conceding one goal in four games, two goals in five games, and now six games...... Four-ball ......

Well, it's better not to play again in the next game, otherwise you will be killed according to this law......

Many of the players in the current Brazilian team have played or are playing in Serie A, Miranda plays for Inter Milan, Alisson also performed very well in Roma last season, and Thiago Silva was the world's number one centre-back when he played for AC Milan.

As Brazil's main central defender, Miranda is now also a bit old and more demonic, he also said that now this Brazilian team has the style of the Italian team, paying more attention to defense than before, and Thiago Silva has learned a lot of defensive skills in Serie A, so this Brazilian team is different from the past, and the defense is very strong.

At any point in the game, since the defence is well organised, it is enough to trust the team's forwards to score goals.

But......

Today's attackers are like they forgot to bring their shooting boots......

In the 64th minute, Willian dribbled the ball in front, made a left-sided backheel after a false shot, Neymar dribbled the ball on the left side and cut in with his right foot, and the ball drew a wonderful arc to brush the far post out of the bottom line.

Then the Chinese team's attack was intercepted by the Brazilian team in the midfield, Willian went out again, sent a cross after hitting the front, and Fernandinho picked up a pass with his right foot at the top of the arc of the penalty area -

Originally, the ball was to find Firmino, but the ball deviated from the correct trajectory by mistake, and the two central defenders of the Chinese team who were preoccupied with it made some misjudgments, and the ball was instead obtained by the oncoming Neymar and inserted into the penalty area to form a single knife!

A right-footed push!

Fu Yubin seemed to be a little stimulated after the last mistake, and after this pounce, he was obviously extraordinarily excited, and bravely pounced on a "hungry tiger pounced" action, and the ball was slapped out by him with one palm - somewhat similar to volleyball, which caused a cheer from the Chinese fans in the stands.

Fu Yubin himself was also very proud, and after getting up, he patted the goalpost and looked very happy, but then he grinned - the movement was too big, and his torso fell in pain.

Seeing this, Bindi thought that his villain was a little ineffective, but when he saw that this guy still showed a painful look, he still felt that his oriental metaphysics had played a role.

In the 67th minute, Brazil took a corner kick on the right side, the ball was cleared by Jia Xiuquan's header, Philip stopped the ball on his chest at the front of the penalty area and volleyed with his left foot, the ball was saved by Fu Yubin, and then cleared by Wu Chengying.

Brazil is still unable to penetrate China's door.

Tite had no choice but to make adjustments.

Gabriel Jesus, Brazil's "worst No. 9 in history", came on and replaced Roberto Firmino. No matter how much Jesus has been criticised for his previous performances, Jesus is certainly a better player than Firmino, and how much Brazilian fans want Jesus to perform as he did at Manchester City – even if it's just for one game!

In terms of performance in this World Cup, Jesus is still too young.

Of course, just as Argentina has Mesa and Portugal has Guedes, Brazil also excludes such a person, and the strong squad will only be much stronger than those two.

But compared to those two teams, Brazil have too many players at their disposal – but all on the left. For the Brazilian team, the main problem in the attack is Neymar's poor form, although Coutinho has a good form, he is also active on the left side, which actually affects the distribution of the ball between Marcelo and Neymar.

When Coutinho has the ball but can't attract more than two defenders, he has to ask Neymar to go heads-up, but after experiencing a major injury, he seems to lack the sharpness he had before, Fan Zhiyi has been greeting him with a very "bad" treatment, and right-back Sun Jihai has also played against the peak Robben and Ronaldo in the Premier League, not to mention being competent, at least it can make Nei Shao less comfortable, which is why the Brazilian team has not been able to fully open the left side of the attack.

It is not that Tite did not see the disadvantages caused by the overlapping functions of the players, otherwise this game would not have finally "conscience" to start Firmino, after this Firmino came on, using Costa's rapid advance, Coutinho and Firmino's through ball in the counter-attack to create chances, although several opportunities were not well grasped, but the effect proved to be much more effective than the previous few attacks with Jesus that were thundering and not raining......

But...... It doesn't seem to rain yet......

It can only be said that it is possible that this "thunder" has finally become a little bigger......

Firmino is clearly a better fit for the system and atmosphere than Gabriel Jesus, who has failed to make good contact with Neymar in the first two games, and he has not fulfilled the tactical role of the fulcrum up front, so making a change to put Firmino in the starting line-up is actually a good change. When Roberto Firmino is up front, he can drop back and pick up the ball to help organise in the middle, which is not unimportant for Brazil, who lack technical elements in the middle. Firmino's drop-back can also take away defenders, and playing over the top can also allow Neymar and the right player – perhaps Willian or someone else – to cut in on the flanks or on the flanks to create good crosses or shots.

The reason is obvious, but why can't it play the desired effect!

The effect is also out! Why didn't we score!

Tite is going crazy!

But there is no way, he needs to make a substitution now, and he can only replace Firmino - Neymar and Coutinho are players with more game-changing ability after all, and it is not easy to change them for the time being. As for Firmino, they and Marcelo are going to be in a pot of porridge on the left again......

That, that's just for them to figure it out on their own.

Perhaps we can look forward to "Jesus"? (Jesus' different translations.) )

Whether there can be an improvement in the offense has to wait first to see if we can defend the Chinese team's offense first.

In the 69th minute, Rong Zhixing still planned the attack in the midfield, and chose the more reliable Xiao Li between Wu Lei and Li Huitang, Xiao Li did not live up to hope after dribbling the ball, still vigorous, still brave - 18-year-old body, technology may not be as smooth as later, but the energy is extremely abundant, there is no situation where you can't kick after 70 minutes, even if it is Miranda and her brother-in-law, who are used to seeing strong winds and waves, they have to face this stunned young man and have a real headache. This time, Miranda didn't dare to let Xiao Li into the penalty area (although Xiao Li may prefer long-range shots outside the penalty area), directly knocked down, violated the foul of the player with the ball, ate his first yellow card of the game, and gave the opponent a free kick opportunity in front.

When Lu Zhuhu came to the front court, he couldn't help but feel that everyone was going to forget him!

Take out the captain's "majesty" and warn Xiao Li not to grab free kicks with himself anymore - you have to talk about the rules of life, right, I think when I went to your team, you Li Guangliang was the captain of the team, I won't grab penalties with you, nor do I grab set-pieces!

Captain Lu put aside Xiao Li, and his domineering performance caused cheers from his fan group with housewives as the main body - when we came to the scene, we must all support Lu Sauna and play football, right, I have been watching him crawl and roll in the back, and even "hug and fall" with Neymar What's the point!

We're going to see Lu Sang attack! Watch him score!

In an instant, he transformed from a sleepy state into a "taiko drum master", and beat the drum loudly - even after two beats, the drum beat was all chaotic......

Lu Zhuhu has also been seeking change, and will not use the same strategy every time, this time a little far away from the goal, choose to give the ball to the front of the penalty area -

The teammates in the penalty area scattered and took away the defenders, Rong Zhixing received the ball from Lu Zhuhu and gave the ball to the right side of the penalty area accurately!

Wu Lei appeared in that position smartly!

Moreover, no one is marked!

Get the chance to face Alisson alone!

It's a pity that his push was blocked by Alisson, who attacked with one foot-

It may be a bit exaggerated to say that it is blocked, Wu Lei has done a good job in front, but the shot is really substandard, weak and weak, Alisson almost subconsciously stretched out his foot and blocked it, and Wu Lei did not grasp the opportunity to make up the shot.

Once again, the Chinese team's thoughtful attack fell short.

At this time, Wu Lei's performance was indeed a bit pitted - he was also the only one of these players who had the correct birth date, and there was a big difference between the two halves, which allowed Bindi to succeed.

Brother Da Long didn't plan to continue to give him another chance, so he let Hao Haidong warm up and replaced the king of martial arts.

Seeing that Lu Zhuhu was still very obedient and ready to go back to the back position, Brother Da Long signaled that he didn't need to withdraw, just stay in front!

Brazil's attacking momentum has waned and we have the option to play against them.

After the Chinese team used Hao Haidong to go up, the effect was indeed a lot better, as a center forward, he could hold the ball with his back and play a good role in Rong Zhixing's passing.

Fernandinho has no ability to intercept and Coutinho has no awareness of filling the position. The Brazilian midfield is prone to exposing a huge amount of space and has a lot to offer.

Fortunately, Gao Yu is still the type with slow feet "for the time being", so he has not yet used these to form a threat.
