Chapter 650: Superstar Flashing is Important (Three Watches)
At the start of the second half, the Brazilian Olympic team changed attackers, and it was clear that Dunga was unhappy with the individual players in the first half and wanted to make changes in the second half.
This change also caused many commentators on the scene to be puzzled.
"Huh? Dunga's substitution is up for debate, according to the performance of the attacking players in the first half, even if Diego did not play well in the second half of the first half, he is definitely better than Ronaldinho, right? And...... Will the 20-year-old Anderson play better and more steadily than Diego? It's all uncertain......"
Liu Jianhong voiced his suspicions.
"Anderson, who plays for Manchester United, replaces Diego, is that a way to speed up the attack? But...... Replacing Diego is a lack of playmaker in the midfield, and Ronaldinho is obviously out of shape in this game, so it is not a good choice to let him continue to stay on the field! ”
The Brazilian national television announcer shook his head.
"What the hell does Dunga think? The second half should have started with a tentative continuation of the game, rather than making personnel changes first, which would have confused the tactical play that the team had developed in the first half......"
The second half of the game began under the breakdown of the commentators from each country.
Soon, though, Anderson's arrival made the individual commentators in the studio temporarily shut their mouths, and his dribbling and passing were very reasonable, neither the caution of Diego in the first half, nor the mud and water of Ronaldinho, like the old fritters on the pitch who have been invading for many years.
In the 7th minute of the second half, Anderson's active movement gave him a chance to shoot from the edge of the penalty area, but unfortunately the goalkeeper of the Chinese Olympic team, Qiu Shengjiong, reacted quickly and saved the ball from the bottom line with a fish leap sideways.
Anderson, who missed the goal, was visibly agitated, first spitting out a mouthful of saliva in anger and then screaming in the sky.
And Qiu Shengjiong punched the void in front of him, and the save just now was his own subconscious behavior, which was a save that could be encountered but could not be sought.
But it is undeniable that the instinctive save just now made Qiu Shengjiong find his confidence, and when the Brazilian Olympic team launched an offensive, he made a high save to resist and try to keep the goal from losing.
Dujkovic stood on the sidelines and shook his head, the situation on the field was tilted in favor of the Brazilian Olympic team because of Anderson's aggressive running, and he also realized that there should be some adjustments to the players on the field.
Whether it is Zhao Xuri or Zhou Haibing, they cannot replace Zheng Zhi's role in the midfield organization, if you want to recover the disadvantage, then the midfield must have a player who can hold the ball and has strong organizational talent.
So...... Zheng Zhi went to the warm-up area.
At the same time, Dujkovic also asked the defenders on the field to pay attention to the defense of both ribs.
While Ronaldinho's form doesn't seem great, who can guarantee that he'll continue to perform like this? No one will be able to pack a ticket!
Therefore, the players are cautious about the game.
Dujkovic consciously asked the players to shrink the defense, so that the Brazilian Olympic team's offensive opportunities began to increase, and the Chinese Olympic team's attack decreased.
Iello was very unhappy with the team's lack of midfield, but he did not express his displeasure directly, but 'hinted' at the depth of his own retreat.
Where did Dujkovic, who was standing on the sidelines, not know what Iroh meant?
But he can't help it!
As a manager, you have to think further......
According to his pre-match thinking, this game cannot be lost, because the expectations of Chinese fans for the national Olympic team are too high.
And the Chinese have always had a saying that if they lose before the knockout round, then it will definitely affect morale, and when the time comes, they will lose the 1/4 finals, and they will be the target of everyone!
In the 60th minute of the game, the Chinese Olympic team made the first substitution adjustment of the game, Zheng Zhi replaced Zhou Haibing and controlled the rhythm.
With Zheng Zhi on the field, the Chinese Olympic team began to rise in the midfield competition.
Because Zheng Zhi, who is on the court, has a very strong ability to read the game, when the Brazilian Olympic team wants to speed up the offensive tempo, he will always find a way to slow down the rhythm, so that the Brazilian Olympic team can't find the rhythm he is familiar with.
Seeing this, many scouts in the stands were very surprised.
This Zheng Zhi's 28-year-old Chinese international is so powerful? How come you didn't find it before??
The ability to control the tempo is really not lost to those playmakers who play in the lower middle and lower reaches of the Premier League.
Charlton Athletic, in particular, has not found out until now...... It turns out that Zheng Zhi's correct use is like this.
After Zheng Zhi controlled the rhythm, the Chinese Olympic team also had more offensive opportunities, which means that Iroh's chances to get the ball also increased!
As a result, Lucas and Ramirez had to increase their range of movement again and return to defense.
The competition has also become a lot more interesting, and you have a lot of fun coming and going.
Before you know it, the game is coming to the end of the game.
Liu Jianhong, the CCTV commentator in the live studio, became more and more excited: "The game went on in the 88th minute, and now the Chinese Olympic team is still leading!" If the game ends according to this score, then the first place in the group will be our Chinese Olympic team!! ”
However, as soon as the words fell, Ronaldinho, who had been disappearing, suddenly received a pass from Anderson after a fake shot at the edge of the penalty area in front of the big penalty line, and got a direct shot on goal.
Zheng Zhi subconsciously stretched out his leg and tripped Ronaldinho to the ground.
The referee awarded a well-placed free-kick to the Brazilian Olympic team.
※※※
In the 88th minute of the game, Ronaldinho won a free kick about 23 meters from the goal for the Brazilian Olympic team!! This position is for him...... But a very good location! The commentator of Brazilian national television became excited after seeing the referee blow a foul on the Chinese Olympic team.
They have the impression that Ronaldinho is in the position directly opposite the left-hand post of the goal, but he has scored a number of wonderful free-kicks.
It wasn't until the Chinese Olympic team set up a five-man wall that Liu Jianhong thought of Ronaldinho's free-kick level: "Oops! Ronaldinho's free kick attainment is not low, he has scored a lot of astonishing free kicks in his career, among which we are impressed by the free kick of more than 40 meters in the 2002 South Korea-Japan World Cup over England international Seaman, and the closest to us is the 2005-2006 season Barcelona against Real Madrid's Spanish derby, the free kick on the spot made goalkeeper Casillas stunned! ”
When he finished speaking, many fans who watched the live TV broadcast were mentally 'groaning'.
No way?
However, the more you worry about something, the more it will happen.
The referee blew the whistle, and Ronaldinho ran on the spot, his left foot about 20 centimeters next to the football, and his right foot kicked like a whip into the middle and lower part of the football.
is different from what many people imagine, although Ronaldinho chose to run on the spot, the power of the kick is not small, and the height is enough.
The football jumped over the wall, and goalkeeper Qiu Shengjiong hurriedly ran from the far corner to the near corner.
But halfway through the run, I gave up.
Because the ball is so fast, by the time he runs to the middle of the goal, the ball has already hit the net.
The fans in the stands subconsciously spit out a mouthful of national curses.
But I have to say that Ronaldinho's free kick is really beautiful!
The ball just above the wall, and in a flat arc, almost against the left post, was a direct free-kick with great power and angle.
“――goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!!!” The commentator of Brazilian national television shouted excitedly.
The Brazilian Olympic team in this game was not as good as the previous two games against Belgium and New Zealand, and for most of the time it was still behind the Chinese Olympic team, which is a difficult result for Brazil, which has won the World Cup five times!
But...... None of that matters anymore!
Ronaldinho scored!! Equalize the score!!
“…… It was Ronaldinho who scored the goal! Before the end of the game, help the Brazilian Olympic team equalize the score!! Sure enough, when it is critical, you must rely on the flash of the superstar to solve the problem!! The neutral commentator also gave a word of praise to Ronaldinho, who scored the goal.
Looking at Ronaldinho, who was huddled together by his teammates, Iroh shook his head.
Seemingly...... Sometimes, superstars also have a nap, and even a second of awakening can give you the deadliest blow, just like Ronaldinho.
The game that looked like it was about to get three points turned into a point under the flash of Ronaldinho, and Dujkovic suddenly felt a little hard to accept.
You must know that the Chinese Olympic team is ahead for nearly half the game!
So Dujkovic waved his hand and motioned Gao Lin and Hao Junmin, who were warming up, to return to the coach's seat and listen to the instructions.
Of course, the most important reason is that there is no difference between a draw and a loss for the Chinese Olympic team, both of which are second in the group, and only by winning can they win the first place in the group.
As soon as the 90 minutes of regular time were over, the Chinese Olympic team changed two people in a row, Jiang Ning and Zhu Ting went off the field, and Gao Lin and Hao Junmin played the two main forces.
Iroh returned to his familiar left flank from the centre-forward position.
At the same time, the fourth official also cited three minutes of stoppage time.
But Dunga can be said to be the strange and wonderful zài of the Brazilian coach, who cares very much about the team's defense, and this Brazilian Olympic team is also under his leadership, and gradually has his iron-blooded style of playing, and the execution is vigorous and resolute.
Even Ronaldinho, who was lazy defensively, recycled into his own half to assist in the defense.
With a united defense, the Brazilian Olympic team persevered until the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.
In the end, the Chinese Olympic team and the Brazilian Olympic team played 1:1 at the Qinhuangdao Olympic Sports Center, so they had to face the strong Italian Olympic team in the quarterfinals.
