Chapter 333: Defensive Counterattack and All-Out Defense
Lin Yi's heart is still more supportive of the Brazilian team, for no other reason, geniuses always cherish each other. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Whether it is Oscar or Neymar, in Lin Yi's opinion, the talent is still above him, and he is limited by what the environment can't do, and he doesn't want these two to be unable to do it. Some championships should have been won by geniuses, hard-working geniuses.
As expected, although Marcelo's own goal somewhat broke Scolari's deployment, it was not long behind.
In the pinch, Oscar and Neymar stepped up together, one breaking through the ball and the other kicking the ball home.
Lin watched Neymar jump on Oscar's back with his fist raised, and couldn't help but stand up and slap it.
At the same time, he was still muttering in his heart, one, as if he had surpassed Rooney.
Just ten minutes later, Neymar burst into the box and was brought to the ground by an inept Woodgate.
The referee awarded a penalty, and Neymar scored a brace himself, and he ran to the sideline and danced excitedly.
Lin Yichang sighed, turned to Eva and said, "It's true, the times create heroes, and they surpass in one battle." ”
"What is beyond that?" Those two goals were brilliant and crucial, but Eva really didn't see what they had surpassed.
"Those seniors and big brothers who have surpassed themselves, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, plus Rooney and Kaka, these are recognized strongmen in today's world football, of course, Kaka may not be counted now. The number of goals they scored in the World Cup was all surpassed by Neymar today. ”
In the second half, Neymar won the ball in midfield and suddenly started a wonderful long run, past two defenders, he stuffed the ball out, the ball rolled through the gap in Croatia's ribs, and Marcelo, who pressed on it, received the pass.
Marcelo, who wanted to shoot with his feet, chose to pass the ball under Srna's interference, and the ball flew to the top of the box.
Oscar, who was following him, held his chest up to stop the ball, then ran forward, dodging Woodgate's leg and shooting.
Maybe it was too tricky to play this shot, or maybe Croatia didn't expect Oscar to shoot.
In short, the football was kicked out by Oscar without any hindrance, and quickly flew into the bottom right corner of the goal, 3-1!
Oscar, who scored a goal that almost extinguished all Croatia's hopes, still didn't react, and Marcelo, who gave him an assist, was the first to run up, if it weren't for Oscar's decisiveness, his pass was actually difficult to convert into an assist, but now it's different, and it has somewhat reduced the embarrassment of scoring an own goal.
Lin Yi clapped his hands and said to Eva, "Okay." This time Croatia has no chance at all, in fact, the Croatian head coach must have a problem with today's command, and the victory in hand is gone, it's a pity. ”
In the end, the score of the game was fixed at 3-1, and thanks to the four goals of the Brazilian players, the opening match of this World Cup looked very exciting.
Lin Yi watched with great emotion as Neymar received the trophy of the first Player of the Match trophy in this tournament, and his eyes were full of envy.
"What's wrong? Aren't you often rewarded with this kind of trophy? I remember you saying that you were tired of it. ”
"Alas. How can this be the same, this is the World Cup, I am in the league, and the value is different. ”
Eva listened to Lin Yi's words, and knew in her heart what he was regretting, so she could only put her arms around him to express comfort.
Lin Yi still clicked to the point, didn't get too entangled in these things that blocked himself, and returned to reality.
In fact, he didn't have much time to dwell on this, because they now need to go back to the hotel to rest immediately, and then take the next day's noon flight to El Salvador to watch the highlight of Group B, which can also be said to be the highlight of the first round.
Not only because both sides of this match are super strong teams, but also because there is an absolutely irresolvable relationship between these two strong teams.
Spain, the champions of the last World Cup, will face the Netherlands, the runners-up of the previous tournament, in their opening match of this World Cup.
Four years ago, with Andres Iniesta's crucial defeat to Spain, he lifted the Hercules Cup in South Africa, not only becoming the eighth world champion, but also once again putting the Netherlands' dream of turning from an uncrowned king to a champion came to naught.
The defending champions look ageing a lot, and Puyol, the stalwart of South Africa's World Cup, announced his retirement after the season just ended, but the Matadors are still a force to be reckoned with.
As a big fan of Spain, Lin Yi is also looking forward to them defending their title and making history again.
Because he was watching the game of his favorite team, Lin Yi was still in good spirits despite the tiring journey from São Paulo to the opening game in 23 hours and then to El Salvador.
This game may have been too eye-catching, and the box tickets were already out of order when Lin first prepared to buy tickets.
Lin Yi, who was sitting in the stands, also put on sunglasses and a big hat very helplessly under Eva's reminder.
Brazil is a country that is crazy about football, so Lin Yi thinks it is better to be careful.
In the midst of all the antiquity, the game started on time, and the players of both teams walked into the stadium under the guidance of the referee.
Looking at this Spain, which actually has a lot of personnel adjustments, Lin Yi sighed.
Villa and Fernando Torres, who won the title in 2010, have disappeared from the starting line-up and have been replaced by Diego Costa, who has been in excellent form this season and has won the Champions League with the team.
Diego Costa, who has dual citizenship of Spain and Brazil, finally chose to join Spain, where the traditional center forward is seriously lacking, of course, in Lin Yi's opinion, this guy may just think that Spain is stronger.
Aside from a little change up front, there were even more changes in the midfield, with Ramos, who had been playing as a right wing-back, returning to the middle to replace the vacancy left by Puyol's retirement, while Arbeloa became the starter, guarding the right.
On top of that, left wing-back Jordi Alba, who was already successful at Euro 2012, seems to have completely forgotten Capdevilla's consistent performance at the World Cup in South Africa.
If there is no change, it may be that in the midfield, it is still the consistent combination of Alonso and Xavi and Busquets, while David Silva and Andres Iniesta appear on the two wings, standing on the wing.
The Dutch line-up opposite them has also changed a lot, but what hasn't changed is that their No.9, No.10 and No.11 are still the same three players with outstanding quality and impressive performances.
Lin Yi has always disliked Diego Costa, and despite his good performances this season, Lin Yi doesn't think he is the kind of striker who has the ability to change the game, at least not yet.
I don't know if Costa was trying to slap Lin Yi in the face, in short, when Lin Yi just finished talking to Eva like this, he had a great impact on the form on the field.
Diego Costa, who was tangled with De Vrij in the penalty area, suddenly fell at an incredible angle and position.
And then...... The referee on duty ran over and, after verbally warning De Vrij, raised his hand to the penalty spot.
Penalty kick?! Lin Yidu couldn't help but jump up from his seat.
Although he also supported Spain, he had to admit that it was too inappropriate to award a penalty at such a time in a game like this, right?
It's not that he has any problem with Diego Costa, even if it was his idol Andres Iniesta who made such a move in that position, he would probably feel like that.
However, although Diego Costa's behavior Lin Yi was quite subtle, Lin Yi calmed down a little and thought about it, in fact, his performance on the court may not be much better than this guy.
For the sake of victory......
Although Diego Costa's behavior was not good, it did bring benefits to the team.
Alonso's penalty was converted in one fell swoop, and the Dutch goalkeeper was completely misguided.
This game seems to be a bit easy, Lin Yi thought to himself, today is much easier than the final four years ago.
This may be the day that Lin Yi has been slapped in the face the most times in football in his life.
Because less than five minutes after the penalty, the Netherlands were pulled back by Robin van Persie.
Not only did he pull a goal back, but Van Persie scored a goal that was demoralizing and at least affecting the goalkeeper.
Sneijder, after receiving a pass from a team-mate in midfield, turned and sent the ball straight into the box with his trademark long ball.
Van Persie, who was a smart runner, happened to be on the spot, and the world-class centre-backs of Pique and Ramos completely missed him.
Missing one of the most dangerous points in the opponent's offensive line is unacceptable in any case.
What's more, Van Persie is in good shape today, and in the game, it is definitely full of arrows.
Van Persie, who received the ball and got a one-on-one chance when the ball fell, did not stop the ball, but imaginative completed a fish leap to the top, directly past the attacking Spanish captain, and Casillas, who was still running forward, watched the ball fly over his head and then into the goal behind him.
Cassie is also like that football, the whole person falls, not only physically, but also mentally.
Am I really old? This ball was put a year ago, and I could have landed quickly and chased it back to stop it.
Could it be that Carlo is right? I really don't have the quality and quality to be a starter?
Carlo Ancelotti took charge of the Bernabeu last season, and to everyone's surprise, the first thing he did was to put Real Madrid's meritorious captain and consistent starter Casillas on the bench, and he also actively suggested that the club try to buy the increasingly outstanding goalkeeper David De Gea from Manchester United.
At the beginning, Casillas felt that the manager wanted to establish his authority in the dressing room.
In his heart, Cassie actually agrees with the head coach's approach, after all, a club like Real Madrid is not easy to lead, and if it does not establish its prestige, there will be a lot of trouble in the future.
But as time passed, one day Cassie suddenly realized that it didn't seem to be the case, and Ancelotti simply didn't trust himself and felt that he was too weak.
Since becoming famous, Casillas, who has won all the championships he can and has always been known as the "world's No. 1 goalkeeper", naturally does not agree with Ancelotti's point of view, he is very decisive in his heart that this Italian fat man is a brain-dead.
Over time, however, Casillas painfully discovered that Ancelotti was right.
Although he really doesn't want to admit it, combined with the data from his meagre playing time, and compared with the data from a few years ago, he finds that his level has indeed dropped to a low point.
His training is still as serious as before, and even more serious because he has fewer appearances.
It's a pity that none of this can fade the traces left by time on his body, his reactions are getting slower and slower, and his movements are becoming sluggish, except when he is with Sarah, he is obviously aware of his aging.
But in fact, he still has a trace of luck in his heart, maybe ...... Maybe...... It's just that Carlo gave me too little time? I haven't gotten a good warm-up and release yet.
It wasn't until now, after this crucial conceded goal, that Cassie finally recognized this cruel reality, times are about to change, and he is the first victim of this era change.
There's nothing more terrible than having a player's confidence shattered, especially when it's a World Cup opener.
In this case, anything can happen, especially if the person who has lost his confidence is still the captain of a team.
Before Cassie could recover from the blow, his two defenders teamed up again to deliver the killing blow.
Because they haven't been pressured by their opponents for too long, Ramos and Pique are still busy chatting in the backcourt.
Sneijder, on the other hand, once again played to his ability, winning the ball in midfield and making another scalpel-like pass, which went straight to the feet of Robben, who was cruising in front.
In fact, it is quite ironic to say, as the birthplace of all-out offense and defense, the Netherlands has now played a defensive counterattack.
And they are frantically destroying the best spokesperson of this era with defensive counterattacks, all offense and all defense.
Robben received a counterattack from Sneijder, and with a light acceleration change of direction, he shook off Ramos and Pique, who were still talking.
Then facing Casillas, who shattered his dream of South Africa four years ago, he knocked on the ten fingers of Spain's No. 1 with just one kick.
Judging from the current game, it seems that the defensive counterattack is more effective.
What happened to Spain's all-out offense and defense? (To be continued.) )
