Chapter 563: New Record
Tabares made a substitution in desperation, with striker Abreu replacing A-Pereira to strengthen the attack.
Abrez was far inferior to Suarez, and his play-on failed to improve Uruguay's attack.
Brazil also made a second substitution, with Hernanes replacing the veteran Gilberto, who was a little out of fitness. Silva.
Dunga actually wants to rest Ricardo, the team is almost certain to reach the final, and Ricardo has to save his energy.
But the Uruguayan's fighting spirit cannot be underestimated, so he did not rush to let Ricardo off and was ready to watch for a few more minutes.
Brazil patiently fell to the ground, while Uruguay pressed up heavily to execute a high press.
Due to their declining fitness, their high pressing was not very effective, and instead left the back line full of holes.
In the 73rd minute, Ricardo's accurate overhead pass found Rico, who stopped the ball a little wider, lost the angle of the shot, and finally barely got up and hit the side netting.
One minute later, Elano's through ball tore through the Uruguayan defence, and Ronaldo was offside and had a one-on-one chance. Godin, however, made a difference, fighting back and sliding the ball before Ronaldo could shoot.
The commentator also praised his defense, calling it decisive and bold, predicting that Godin would definitely shine in the future. The 24-year-old currently plays for Villarreal and will soon be in the spotlight across Europe.
But Godin was soon devastated. In the 77th minute, Elano sent a through ball to the left, and Ricardo singled Godin with the ball, shaking Godin into doubt and falling awkwardly, and then Ricardo broke through to the edge of the six-yard box and picked the ball out to Ronaldo before Muslera could hit the ground.
In the face of an empty goal, Ronaldo calmly got up and scored the fourth goal for Brazil with a volley.
"Ronaldo Goalllllll!" The commentator shouted like crazy, "Super Ronaldo! He scored his 16th goal in World Cup history! ”
"This Brazilian team is insanely playing, scoring three or four goals in every game, and this kind of attacking power is unbeatable on the planet!"
"Some people say that Real Madrid is the Galaxy and Barcelona is the Cosmos team. Hehe, what about this Brazil? It's the best team I've ever seen! Not one of them! ”
The victory is decided.
Dunga finally made one last substitution, with Robinho coming on for Ricardo.
Kaka is already injured and is not sure if he will be able to play in the final. If Ricardo is also injured in the final minutes, Brazil's competitiveness will be greatly reduced.
Time slowly passed away in the inverted feet of the Brazilian team. With Forlan injured his position, Uruguay's last glimmer of hope was dashed. In the second minute of stoppage time, Cavani volleyed in from a team-mate's free-kick to pull a point back for Uruguay, but it was too late.
The Brazilian team advanced to the final with a score of 4:2!
Ricardo was most concerned about Kaka's injury.
After the match, he gave a few brief interviews and hurriedly accompanied Kaka to the hospital for a check-up.
Luckily, Kaka's injuries are fine. It took about a week to fully recover, but I barely managed to play in the final.
Kaka smiled happily and won't miss the World Cup final, which is great news for him.
"Hopefully we'll have a little better luck in this final." He told Ricardo, apparently recalling the unbearable final in '06.
That final can be said to be the heyday of the Brazilian team's lineup, although Ricardo is not yet mature, Ronaldo is injured, but there are peak Adriano, peak Ronaldinho, Kaka is also young, Emerson is not old, and the double card has not yet retired.
It wasn't so much that Brazil lost to Italy, but that Brazil lost to luck. Three key players were injured in the game and hit the crossbar during the penalty shoot-out......
"I feel like that one has used up all our bad luck." Ricardo was concerned.
Kaka changed the subject, "The last ball, why don't you shoot it yourself?" ”
The fact that, at this time, many fans are discussing.
Brazil's fourth goal, Ricardo has already made a solo shot, he can choose to shoot himself to break the record, but he chose to give the ball to Ronaldo, who will continue to improve the record.
"It's good to win, does it matter who scores?" Ricardo blinked.
"It really doesn't matter." Kaka laughed.
"This is my brother's last World Cup, so let's be happy. As for the record, what I have to do in the future is a chance to break it. Ricardo said.
'Yes, there's one more game and you can still score goals, and it's hopeful to break Ronnie's record of eight goals in a single game.
"No," Ricardo said seriously, "I'm not talking about my brother's record, and I'm not talking about this World Cup." I'm going to challenge Fontaine's record at the next World Cup. ”
"You're such a madman," Kaka said heartily, "but if Fontaine's record could be broken by a current player, then I think you're the only one who has the right to do so." Win the final and put on the crown, Ricardo! ”
Ricardo laughed: "I also want to win the beauty." ”
"Yes, you have to win the beauty, don't let down little Olivia!" Kaka said happily.
"By the way," Kaka asked again, "who do you think we will be against in the final?" ”
Ricardo didn't answer and asked, "Who do you want it to be?" ”
"I think Germany is promising. Their performance is too good. But I prefer the opponent to be Spain, we are more familiar with Spain, I, you, Baptista, Roni, Elano, we all have experience in La Liga. ”
"Well, I guess it'll be as you wish." Ricardo laughed.
The following day, Spain dominated the game and Puyol's header gave Spain a win over a mighty Germany. They will meet Brazil in the final.
It was also the first time in Spain's history that they reached the World Cup final.
"I'm very happy to have a matchup like this in the final, which represents a full revival of technical flow football," Pele said in an interview, "I love the Brazil team now, Ricardo, Kaka, Ronaldo are all great players who qualify to be the king of the ball." But overall, Spain have a more mature style of play and a more reasonable player set-up, and I think they will win the title. ”
Although they were not favored by their idols, all the Brazilian players breathed a sigh of relief. The game is stable.
The Spanish players were a little bit laughing and crying.
"Germany and Brazil are both very strong teams and each has its own characteristics, and we don't think that if we can beat Germany, we will definitely beat Brazil," Spain coach Bosque said in an interview, "It will be a tough battle." Brazil are very good on the ball, have very fast forwards, are good at counter-attacking, and their defenders are very dangerous when it comes to set-pieces. This is a team with no shortcomings. We can only keep doing our best and as for the result, I believe the team that plays better will win. ”
