Chapter 649: Sitting firmly on the Diaoyu Tai
In the first fifteen minutes of the game, both sides were very restrained, after all, they had already qualified in advance, and there was no need to fight to the death for a so-called top spot.
Many Brazilians were able to see it, but Ronaldinho played very hard, and the first 15 minutes of the game were arguably one of the toughest games of his career.
With Ronaldinho being limited by Zhao Xuri, the Brazilian Olympic team players have consciously passed the ball to Diego to organize the attack, and no longer rely on their captain.
In the past two years, Diego's performance can be described as a rare highlight in his career, especially in the first two seasons of Werder Bremen, the team's top scorer Klose and now the striker of the Chinese Olympic team, Gao Lin, have also benefited a lot from Diego's wonderful performance, excellent overall view and dribbling ability, short and long passes are just right.
So in the following game time, the back line of the Chinese Olympic team began to run into trouble, and the attack of the Brazilian Olympic team became more and more smooth, allowing the fans to see the real samba football with their own eyes.
Especially the two wings, very active.
Unfortunately, Pato at the front is not the kind of strong striker, he is a player who needs a lot of space to sprint and get the ball to be able to perform at his best.
Fortunately, in this game, Feng Xiaoting still stayed in the starting central defender, otherwise the city gate would have been opened.
Feng is now on the rise of his career, with good pace and physicality, but the most reassuring thing is his defensive awareness and defensive positioning, which will always appear in the most appropriate position to directly defuse the most dangerous attacks of the Brazilian Olympic team.
The Brazilian Olympic team has also put a lot of effort into defense, and Lucas and Ramirez, who play for Liverpool, are both midfielders with a very large range of movement, which can make up for their technical shortcomings.
The wide range of running had a good limit on Ailuo, so that the Chinese Olympic team did not have a good chance to score for 20 minutes of the game.
As a result, neither side of the game achieved anything.
To this end, Iroh consciously changed his offensive strategy, no longer using his speed and technique to continue to find space to break through, but using the characteristics of his fast cadence to seek opportunities for long-range shots.
Standing on the sidelines, the head coach of the Brazilian Olympic team, Dunga, is more satisfied with the team's performance during this time, at least the team's performance on the defensive end is very good, in the first 20 minutes, the core player of the Chinese Olympic team, Aillo, is under the defense of Ramirez and Lucas, and only got two shots on goal.
He firmly believes that as long as he continues to defend, the team's counter-attacks will become sharper.
Because the ranking of Group D has come out, according to the current ranking, the Chinese Olympic team will face the Italian Olympic team, as the hosts, they must be unwilling to accept this opponent, and will inevitably want to win the game in the third round, so as to reverse to become the first in the group.
Therefore, it is necessary to increase the number of attackers, and then the team's skillful and fast counterattack will get a good space to play.
Pato's speed and technique are no weaker than the captain of the Chinese Olympic team, Ailuo, when he counterattacks quickly.
If they can win at the home stadium of the Chinese Olympic team, then ...... It also has a good motivating effect on the team's next knockout matches.
However, at this moment, Ielo suddenly accelerated thirty meters from the goal to shake off Lucas, and then shot from a distance!
But it was blocked by Ramirez's outstretched calf, and the football almost bounced to the feet of Diego not far away.
Dunga immediately realised that this was an opportunity for the team to score on the counter-attack.
Standing on the sidelines, he shouted, "Fight back!! β
Suddenly, Pato, Ronaldinho, and Neves turned to face the goal of the Chinese Olympic team at the same time.
Even Lucas, another defender of Elo, did not hesitate to step forward and prepare to participate in the attack.
It has to be said that the Brazilian has a smooth attacking blood in his bones.
Diego was only slightly surprised by the football that suddenly bounced in front of him, and then his body naturally turned 90 degrees to the left, ready to face the goal of the Chinese Olympic team, but at the moment when he was about to touch the football, out of accurate judgment of danger, he knew that there must be a defender of the Chinese Olympic team behind him.
So I changed my mind temporarily, turned back and smashed the ball with my left foot, and then turned 180 degrees on the spot, wanting to attack from the right side of my original body.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that he just buckled the ball to the right with his left foot, and the right foot that was about to support it seemed to have landed on something, and then the center of gravity of his body was lost, and he fell on the turf, and the football under his feet changed hands again.
Diego knew that the opponent was fouling even if he thought with his toes, so he sat on the turf and raised his arms to signal that the opposing player had committed a foul.
But the referee who didn't expect him didn't mean to give a penalty at all, but hooked his finger at him and motioned him to get up.
In fact, Diego also knew that the physical contact with the other party just now belonged to the category of whether it could be judged or not, and whether it was blown or not depended on the mood of the referee, and this ...... Or the home of the Chinese Olympic team, how can the referee give three thin noodles?
After figuring out why, Diego got up from the turf.

After breaking the ball, Zhao Xuri did not dribble the ball too much, and passed the football to Ailuo who found a vacancy at the first time.
At this time, Lucas was extremely remorseful, just now he saw Diego taking the ball and preparing to turn around, thinking that this was a good opportunity to counterattack, so the speed forward was very fast.
But...... Diego was cut off!
Moreover, the football has passed to Iroh again, which is not good news for him.
With the ball in hand, Iello was left unmarked and was about to face the two centre-backs, Thiago Silva and Ilcinho, who had lost their protective barrier in front of them.
Dunga, who had been happy a few seconds ago when he had a good chance to counter-attack, had to start worrying about his own goal.
Iroh's individual combat ability is the best in the world! Famous!!
With only two central defenders, Thiago Silva and Ilsinho, surely not enough for Iro?
What happened next seemed to be designed to test Dunga's ideas.
With a combined defence of Thiago Silva and Ilsinho in the middle of the pitch about 30 metres from goal, Iello didn't use too many fancy moves.
It's just a simple left shoulder sinking plus a body shaking feint, and then a sudden forward ball and a forced breakthrough in the middle!
Thiago Silva and Ilsinho had no idea that Iroh would make such a direct and domineering choice to break through between the two.
However, the two were not slow to react, and their excellent defensive awareness allowed them to choose to close the door at this point.
It's just that they overestimated their speed, and at the same time underestimated Iroh's explosiveness.
Iroh started very quickly and stood out from Thiago Silva and Ilcinho in the blink of an eye.
As a result, the two of them were knocked into each other and stumbled to their feet.
"- Wow, Iroh is over! Single-pole !! β
At the same time, the fans in the stands of the Qinhuangdao Olympic Sports Center chanted violently.
The sudden burst of shouts also made Brazilian Olympic goalkeeper Diego Alves nervous.
He had known about Ello's terrifying Cheng DΓΉ from TV a long time ago, and the goal rate of a single knife was more than ninety percent! That is, his save success rate is less than 10%!
At this moment, Iro, who came to the line of the big penalty area, suddenly picked up his right foot and hit the goal.
Diego Alves made a subconscious save, but the angle of Aillo's shot was tricky, and the ball almost rolled into the net against the right goal post, turning over the net.
1οΌ0
"Elo Elo ......"
As soon as the ball rolled into the net, the Chinese fans in the stands chanted Elo's name.
After the goal, Ailuo did not celebrate alone, but pointed to Zhao Xuri, who made up for his mistakes, if it wasn't for the latter's counter-ball just now, he would not have faced the two central defenders of the Brazilian Olympic team so lightly, the credit for this goal, Zhao Xuri is even greater!

Scoring a goal first at home is definitely good news for the Chinese Olympic team, as they can avoid the Italian Olympic team in the quarter-finals and face the Cameroon Olympic team.
But this situation is to establish that the score will last until the end of the game, and it will be realized.
Immediately, Dujkovic waved his hand and contracted the defense.
While maintaining the lead in the score, the team's defensive ability is trained.
But don't really say it, with Feng Xiaoting in the middle, it is difficult for the Brazilian Olympic team to penetrate in the middle, and it is basically predicted in place by Feng Xiaoting in advance and destroys the ball.
In addition, after Diego's reversal, his form has dropped significantly.
The attack in the second half of the first half could only rely on Pato's individual breakthrough to demand opportunities, but in the face of Feng Xiaoting's experienced defense, the effect was not obvious.
Therefore, at the end of the first half, the Chinese Olympic team led the Brazilian Olympic team 1:0.
"I really didn't expect that we could lead the Brazilian Olympic team! And...... It is not the strongest national Olympic team that is fighting on the field, players like Gao Lin, Chen Tao, Hao Junmin, Zheng Zhi, and Wang Xiaolei are all sitting on the bench...... If we can beat Brazil in the end, then we will be the top team in the group, avoiding the Italian Olympic team who won the group in Group D! Liu Jianhong said excitedly.
At halftime, many commentators praised the Chinese Olympic team.
In the second half, Dunga took the lead in making changes to the Brazilian Olympic team's line-up, replacing Diego, who had slipped in form, with Manchester United youngster Anderson.
Dujkovic chose to stay put.
The cheers of the fans in the stands are still loud, compared to the last two rounds of the group stage, it is bigger, and the stronger the opponent, the stronger they are!
