No team aiming to win the championship wants to be dragged into extra time after reaching the knockout stage.

Because if you play overtime and win, and then your opponent doesn't play overtime in the next game, then you will naturally be at a physical disadvantage and the probability of winning will be lower.

Therefore, while the Brazilian team and the French team have solidified their defense, they have also strengthened their attacks, trying to break through the opponent's goal and avoid being dragged into extra time.

Attack, on the other hand, is what Brazil is best at.

So after the French team briefly took the initiative, the Brazilian team gradually gained the upper hand. Ronaldinho and Kaka used their talents to take back the midfield controlled by the French team little by little. Especially after Zidane's physical decline, the loss of control in the midfield of the French team was very obvious.

In the 61st minute, the Brazilian team played a quick attack, Licardo went to the right side to give the middle to Kaka, Kaka dribbled the ball at high speed and advanced a distance before distributing the ball to the right and handing it to Ricardo.

Ricardo made a gesture to cut inside with the ball, but he gave the ball to Cafu and cut it in the middle.

Cafu took the ball and immediately crossed to Adriano, Adriano headed the ball to Ricardo, who met the ball with a left-footed volley from a tight angle, although it was off target, but the quality of this wave of attack was really not bad.

Two minutes later, Brazil attacked from the right again, Kaka and Ricardo combined continuously, and then went down with a low cross, Adriano and Thuram pushed and pushed the ground to fight for the position, and in the end no one bargained, and the ball was hit by Dida.

Seeing that the attack on the right side seemed to be effective, the Brazilian team launched attacks from the right side in succession. In the 64th minute, after running 30 meters with the ball, Cafu made a one-two-one combination with Kaka, and after receiving the ball, he wiped Abidal's cross.

The ball flew to the middle of the box, Adriano didn't get to the point, Thuram pushed the ball out, but Ze. Robert came to the second drop point and played the ball straight to Ricardo. Ricardo made a gesture to shoot, but he denied Makelele and passed the ball to Adriano, who stopped the ball and turned and shot directly, but unfortunately used his right foot, which he was not good at, and hit the ball with a plane.

The back-to-back assists made Cafu more physically strained, and Pereira quickly made a second substitution, replacing him with McConn.

If you don't think about it in hindsight, you can't actually find fault with this substitution. McCone was doing well at Inter Milan, with very good assist ability, excellent physicality and excellent physical fitness, and replacing Cafu with him towards the end of the game would enhance Brazil's attacking ability on the right flank.

But people always like to be an afterthought.

In the 68th minute, after receiving a pass from Kaka, Ricardo turned and tried to wipe into the French team's penalty area, but was hit by Vieira, he fell on the line of the penalty area and lost the ball.

Referee Cantalejo did not blow the game off, and the French team immediately launched a counterattack, and after handing the ball to Zidane, Zidane found Henry with a long pass.

Thierry Henry picked up speed like a Ferrari and crossed the ball diagonally as he approached the Brazilian penalty area.

Ribery stabbed in diagonally, stopped and took a small kick to the ground, used the acceleration to change direction to pass McConn, Maicon mixed garlic at his feet, and his hand held the ground for a while before getting back up, but he didn't have time to keep up, Ribery calmly adjusted and then got up to shoot.

Dida's reaction was not unpleasant, and he reacted immediately with a nice side-to-side pounce, but Ribery's shot was too tricky, and before Dida's fingers could reach him, he pressed against the turf and grazed the post and rolled into the net.

The Scar Warrior immediately turned around and celebrated! In the stands of the stadium, the fans of the French team also screamed with excitement.

“goal！！！！” The commentator was not tired at all, still energetic, and his voice was loud, "Ribery's beautiful goal!" France took the lead again in the 68th minute! ”

"The ball came from Zidane's precise long pass, from Henry's sharp breakthrough and clever pass, the whole process was smooth and exciting!"

"Brazil is in danger! With 30 minutes or so left, will they be able to rewrite the score? Pereira's substitution was terrible, McConn, who had just come on the pitch, had not yet adapted to the pace of the game, and he looked so clumsy in front of the nimble Ribery! ”

McCone looked overwhelmed at this point, and the goal was also very hard for him. If he defended well, maybe it wouldn't have happened.

Many people have asked in their hearts whether the result would have been different if it had just appeared here was an experienced Kafu?

Ricardo watched the celebration of the French team depressedly for a while, slowly walked back to his own half, and put his hand on McConn's shoulder: "Don't panic, everyone makes mistakes sometimes, now you have to quickly adjust your mentality and play the next game well." ”

The six gods and no master, McConn, then collected his mind and nodded: "Don't worry, I won't make any more mistakes." ”

Having taken the lead, France shrank back.

They began to use foul tactics to block Brazil's attack, with Sagnol and Franck Ribery receiving yellow cards for fouls on Kaka and Ricardo in succession, but Brazil's free-kick did not work, and France were very careful when defending set-pieces.

"France defended with their hearts, there are very few teams in the world who can break down their cities," said the commentator, "and after conceding the goal, Brazil launched several attacks, but the results were not ideal. ”

Pereira walked restlessly around the sidelines, his eyes sweeping over the players on the bench from time to time.

Finally he stood still, "Ricardinho, you go warm up." ”

Ricardinho, who had never played in this World Cup, widened his eyes and it took several seconds for him to react, quickly get up and start warming up.

It's not just this World Cup, Ricardinho has never played in a World Cup, and his nervousness is far greater than his excitement at this point.

Seeing Ricardinho's slightly stiff movements, Pereira frowned slightly.

It's not that he doesn't have any other options, and Brazil has a lot of talent on the bench. It's just that at this time he remembered the three São Paulo trios he faced when he was coaching Corinthians.

Compared to that time, Kaka and Ricardo have both improved like rockets, and Ricardinho has not stood still.

Although he is 30 years old, he has maintained his form very well, leading Sao Paulo to lift the Copa Libertadores in 05, and this year he has also led Sao Paulo to play quite well in the league, and Sao Paulo is currently at the top of the table.

If Ricardinho is brought on the pitch, will it be able to maximize the form of Kaka and Ricardo?

It was with this in mind that Pereira decided to give Ricardinho a chance.

"Brazil made one last substitution," the commentator said, "Ricardinho came on and replaced Ze. Robert. Now there are three players named Ricardo on the field of the Brazilian team! They are the former São Paulo triados! ”
