Chapter 166: France VS Brazil (Part II)
Pereira said a few generalities, the central idea was "everyone is okay, keep up, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, it's important to play the style of Brazilian football" and so on.
In terms of tactical arrangement, he did not make too many changes, mainly for the two wing-backs of the French team to make targeted instructions, asking the two Brazilian midfielders Emerson and Kleberson to pay attention to the help of defense.
The other is to move Emerson forward and Kleberson backward.
In this way, the formation of the Brazilian team is infinitely close to the 4321 that all the major giants like to use in later generations.
One of the three midfielders is dedicated to defence, such as Barcelona's Prof. Bou, Real Madrid's Casemiro, and Chelsea's N'Golo Kante...... In the Brazilian team, the role is now played by Kleberson.
There are also two relatively versatile midfielders who are not only involved in defense, but also responsible for organizing attacks, and can also insert themselves to score when it is crucial. Emerson and Ricardinho are such characters.
In the later generations of Real Madrid, Tonikroth and the Magic Flute were such characters; At Barcelona, it's Andres Iniesta and Rakitic.
Emerson played as a midfielder at Bayer Leverkusen, and his organisational skills and dribbling skills should not be underestimated. It was only after the move to Roma that his position began to move back. Andrea Pirlo, Magic Flute, and Tony Rose are all midfielders like him.
After Pereira's fine-tuning, after the start of the second half, the Brazilian team did recover the disadvantage in the midfield offensive and defensive transitions and rhythm control, and the French team was able to have a relationship.
Judging from the scene, the two sides are evenly matched and in a delicate balance.
But in the 58th minute, the balance was broken.
"Henry's goal!!!!!" The commentator on France Télévisions roared, "Wonderful, great, super goal!" Henry ran nearly 40 meters with the ball, connected the three players of the Brazilian team, and scored the ball with his right foot that can perform magic tricks! ”
It was a one-man show by a world-class striker, with France quickly handing the ball to Pire, who immediately picked up behind the Brazilian defence.
Henry used his speed to catch up with the ball, used it to brush past Lucio, then denied Kleberson, a feint to shake off the last defender, Belletti, and finally hit the far corner again with his right foot.
At a similar angle in a similar position to the previous goal, he scored again!
The Stade de France is boiling!
It was Thierry Henry's fifth goal of the tournament and he topped the scorers' charts!
He is followed by Ricardo, who has already scored 4 goals.
At this time, Licardo, the second place in the shooter list, looked at Henry with a fire-filled gaze, and his mood was agitated!
You're awesome, I'll admit it, but you're still not as awesome as Ronaldo! You can't convince me!
Maybe in terms of overall strength, I'm a notch worse than you. But that doesn't mean that I'm going to watch you presumptuous in front of the Brazilian team!
I don't want to lose! Brazil doesn't want to lose either!
There are 30 minutes left in the game, so we'll see!
Brazil quickly restarted the ball and launched a decisive attack on France.
From leading, to being equalized, to now falling behind, the players of the Brazilian team have finally decided not to be silent anymore!
Everyone has come up with a unique job, no longer afraid of injury, no longer stingy with physical strength!
One of the problems of Brazil has always been that they don't know who to focus on.
To put it bluntly, there is a problem with the distribution of the ball.
Even if Ronaldo is a well-deserved first star, Rivaldo and Ronaldinho are competing with him for the ball, intentionally or unintentionally.
Everyone in the Brazilian team has good skills, especially the 3R, everyone can get the ball, everyone is the core of their club, everyone has the ability to solve the battle alone.
But if everyone tries to get the ball, it will inevitably lead to problems in the transition between attack and defense, resulting in a lack of fluidity in the attack.
However, this Brazilian "second team" does not have such a problem. There is only one core of the team, Ronaldinho!
The attack was started by Ronaldinho, and the final pass was made by Ronaldinho, and everyone rallied around Ronaldinho, who decided how to play the game, where the ball should fly, and who would ultimately finish the shot.
And Ronaldinho did not live up to Pereira's trust!
In this difficult time, he stepped forward!
In the 77th minute, a failed attack by the French team found Ronaldinho with an accurate ball.
Faced with the incoming ball, Ronaldinho leaned on Dacourt with his body and lifted the ball to the side with a light pick.
Darkett was prepared and immediately turned and pounced on the ball.
Before the ball could hit the ground, Ronaldinho picked it up again and the ball flew in the opposite direction, allowing Darkett to save in the air.
At this time, Petit also rushed up and raised his leg menacingly.
Ronaldinho smiled and picked the ball again, the ball flew between Petit and Dacourt, and he turned smoothly and broke through!
Later generations commented that if you talk about the combination of man and ball at high speed, Ronaldo is unsurpassed at the peak. When it comes to running with the ball at a high speed, Peak Kaka is proud of the rivers and lakes. If you talk about the change of rhythm when dribbling the ball, Messi is the first deservedly. But when it comes to the use of space when dribbling and controlling the ball, Ronaldinho is the number one in the world.
Ronaldinho often plays a trick of using his excellent ball sense to pick the ball in the game, and this is not the first time, and it will not be the last!
After briefly shaking off the French defence, Ronaldinho did not continue to dribble, but made a pick-and-roll pass! Football fell behind Desailly!
A figure in Brazil's yellow jersey plugged in at high speed, quickly overtook Desailly, and with a light padding of his feet, he unloaded the ball perfectly.
Then he accelerated and rushed, and he passed Thuram approaching from the side, and drove straight in!
Everyone's hearts were in their throats, and many fans in the stands of the Stade de France couldn't help but stand up, stretching their necks to stare at the person running at high speed, and the football that seemed to be glued to the man's feet!
The commentator of Globo Sport in Brazil shouted: "Ronaldinho's wonderful pass, Licardo catches the ball!" He passed Thuram, and in front of him was a flat horse! Butters strikes, what will Ricardo do...... Kick and shoot! Goallllllll! Ricardo chooses to shoot hard, and the football hangs in the dead corner! Butters can't make a save! Brilliant goal! ”
"Ronaldinho's brilliant getaway and pick up the pass gave Ricardo a golden chance! And Ricardo did not live up to the expectations of him, he was calm in front of goal for his age! ”
"I can see that the golden combination of the Brazilian team for the next ten years is taking shape! Ricardo, who has just turned 17, and Ronaldinho, who is 23 years old, can lead Brazil forward in the next World Cup, even the 2010 World Cup, the 2014 World Cup! ”
