Chapter 181: The Top Eight Are Out
Scolari's fragments on the sidelines were inaudible to Dida as he almost kept the ball in his own goal with a left-footed block from Suker.
Davosuk's game can really be described as a brave state, he seems to have become the golden left foot of four years ago, and the Brazilian team's back line three Lucio, Edmilson, and Roquejunior are not light.
Scolari's 352 formation now seems to be really a double-edged sword, when the offensive is smooth, there is no problem at all, but when the offensive is not smooth and is attacked by others, it is a tragedy.
Now playing Croatia is an example, the midfield five players, although it looks luxurious, but the soy sauce is the majority, Kleberson and Gilbert Silva are okay defensively, as for the double card sleepwalking today. And Rivaldo did not play as a striker.
Ronaldo was very angry, this is his third World Cup, the first time was in 94, that year he watched Romario personally lift the fourth Hercules Cup and Baggio's tears, time flies, now it is two World Cups have passed, he still has not won the Hercules Cup with his own hands, the last World Cup, he led the team to the final but achieved Zidane and Jacques, this time, I don't know, I can still hold on like this?
Look at Davo Suk, this thing doesn't seem to look like it was four years ago, the passing years haven't left any shadow on him, how can he lose to him, he is an alien.
Ronaldo saw that his teammates couldn't count on him, so he chose to go it alone this time.
Ronaldo is invincible on his own, and Croatia's defense doesn't seem to be able to stop the aliens.
This time he took advantage of the slack in the Croatian backline, made a tackle, and then a through ball to Ronaldo, who had already burst into the box.
Xiao Luo received the ball and came to the penalty area very calmly, and chose to push it to the far corner. 1:1, Croatia was drawn by Ronaldo's personal ability.
The score was equalized, and the rhythm of the game had completely returned to the side of the Brazilian team, and the double card was alive at this time.
The two of them frequently create killing opportunities on the wings, but Croatia is not a fish belly after all, and their strength has been professionally recognized.
The last attack of the first half. Carlos came to the penalty area alone, he chose to cut inside, at this time, a Croatian player appeared behind him again, he got the ball out of the bottom line, Carlos was very dissatisfied, turned around, and found that it was a long face, this is not who Olic is.
Olic is the epitome of a professional footballer. He didn't have any extraordinary talent, he relied on diligent running, non-stop running, and this time it was his running that made Carlos's attack come to naught.
The referee awarded Brazil a corner kick that did not pose much of a threat and the two teams drew in the first half.
In the second half, Prosinecki was tripped by Gilberto Silva during a break in midfield, who rose to his feet. Glanced at Silva.
Ten minutes later, Prosinetssky made a comeback. Facing Gilberto Silva, the midfielder known as the moving city wall, without the slightest hesitation, a Marseille maneuver, followed by a Cruyff turn, these two actions were first used by Nie Huan, and then they were used well by the major midfielders. Gilberto Silva was completely shaken away, and Kleberson rushed at this time.
Prosinetski didn't look at Kleberson at all, and a diagonal cross found Olich, who had already run to the wing.
Olic received the ball and immediately dribbled to the vicinity of the penalty area, and this time Suker was watched by Brazil's three defenders. And Cafu on the other side is already about to catch up.
What to do, Olic knew that this time could not be delayed for too long, shooting, shooting. Olic picked up his left foot and kicked the ball out in a very bizarre gesture, and many Brazilian fans in the stands laughed at how ugly the action was.
Dida also smiled, even a shot like you wants to break through my Santa Dida's door, don't be kidding, I can catch a ball like you with my eyes closed.
Olich's ball was very powerful, and although the posture was very strange, it still flew in the direction of the goal.
came to the goal, Dida reacted first, he did not hesitate to choose to pounce, the ball pounced, Dida was beautiful in his heart, sure enough, I San Dida was invincible, Dida lay on the ground and pulled his left hand back, and then prepared to get up, but this left hand touched the ball, the ball did not completely stop rotating in the previous process, so it was touched by Dida, and rolled into the goal at once.
The fans were stupid, and Olic was stupid, but at this time, the Croatian players were crazy, they all pounced on Olic and played the trick of stacking arhats on the field.
The referee blew the whistle, the ball was scored effectively, and the Croatian fans on the scene were crazy, this is Dida sending warmth.
Scolari's face on the sidelines was like that of his own mother, this idiot, he couldn't help but look back at Marcos on the bench, "Marcos, you go to warm up." Marcos Reis is the goalkeeper of Palmeiras and a veteran who has been playing for many years, what happened to Dida today, how many small actions are constant.
Taking advantage of the fact that the game did not start, Dida was replaced by Scolari and replaced by Marcos, this kind of temporary change of goalkeeper is very demoralizing, but at this time I really can't take care of it, if I don't replace a reliable person, I'm afraid the score will be stretched again, and I don't know who to cry at that time.
With Marcos on the side, the game continued, Croatia took the lead, their attacking momentum was still not waning, and the same was true for Brazil, who were in the middle of a fight.
The two sides are really fighting, during this time both sides of the back line has been tested a lot, Carlos and Cafu both seem to be a little unable to run, now the time of the game has come to eighty-five minutes, the score of the two sides is still 2:1, Croatia leads.
Ronaldo was surrounded by several Croatian players, and Ronaldo was basically invisible in this game.
It's a fight for the hemp egg, anyway, there is no way, it's better to fight once, "Ricardo, you go." Kaka sat on the bench and could barely believe it was true when he heard Scolari's words. At such a critical moment, Scolari actually allowed himself to play. Kaka was soon on the pitch to replace the exhausted Rivaldo.
"Is this the player recommended by Adriano, Nie and Leonardo?" Seeing Kaka play, Berlusconi's eyes began to light up.
"Yes, Mr. Prime Minister, this player is a year older than Nie. He's only getting a name for himself in Brazil now, but he's very sharp, you'll find out later. "Galliani has seen the video of Kaka's fight, and that lightning explosiveness and speed is indeed a kind of ultimate beauty.
Kaka started to run non-stop on the field, Shuangka basically couldn't run at this time, saw Kaka come up, Kafu stuffed the ball to the opponent, and then Kaka rushed to the Croatian penalty area like a Ferrari with full horsepower, Croatia's defenders wanted to foul but couldn't keep up with the opponent's speed, facing the defenders who pounced. Kaka made a Marseille spin and then followed by a burst of shots, boom, smashed into the net, Croatia were really indifferent to the goal, and Kaka equalised the score after less than two minutes of play.
The Croatian players were silent at this time, the football kingdom is really not covered, and any player who comes out can change the situation of the game.
There was only stoppage time left in the game, and Kaka again. Again, with his blistering pace, he tore through Croatia's defence and played the ball up front. Ronaldo received the ball, made a pendulum pass, passed the Croatian goalkeeper, and then sent the ball into the net, a stunner, a real stunner. Because not long after Ronaldo's shot, the referee also blew the whistle for the end of the game, and the plaid shirts' imminent victory was destroyed by Kaka, who played for a few minutes, and many plaid shirts fans cried. It's been a really tough game.
Kaka can be said to have become famous by a goal, before that, there were really few people who knew him, and now basically all the big clubs have noticed him.
is different from the previous life, the World Cup in the previous life made Xiao Luo, and the reason why he was able to transfer to the giants in the future is not unrelated to the accumulation of this World Cup.
"Well, this kid is good, Nie's vision really doesn't have to be picky, it seems that we are really an invaluable asset to sign him, I don't know what the old man in Ferguson will think if he knows." Berlusconi feels good when he thinks about it.
Galliani is also laughing, it seems that this guy has no problem joining Milan at all, even after his game, I'm afraid the competition will be fierce.
Brazil advanced to the quarterfinals, and the next thing is the battle between Turkey and Cameroon, this game is evenly matched, Cameroon has Eto'o, Turkey has Nihat, if you really fight for speed, Turkey may not lose to Cameroon.
This game was similar to what Nie Huan expected, the two sides were inseparable from each other, and basically no one could help anyone's situation.
In this way, the score of the two teams from the beginning to the end of the first half is still 0:0, this game is much worse than the previous six games, but the defensive intensity of these two teams is also not in the six groups of duels.
In the second half, neither side let up, and this continued until the 70th minute, when Samuel Eto'o created a penalty for Cameroon, but it was Miraculously Rustu who saved the ball and ended up in a draw in regulation time, with both sides doing their best in extra-time.
But it was still a draw, a penalty shootout, Cameroon's side played obviously abnormally, and finally Turkey beat the opponent 3:0 on penalties to advance to the quarterfinals.
The last game of the quarterfinals was between Italy and Denmark, and the result was a goal shootout, the two teams played 2:2 in the first half, Inzaghi and Tomasson scored two goals each, but at halftime the Italian players were scolded by Trapattoni and conceded two goals in the half, are you defending with your ass? These are the exact words of Trapattoni.
In the second half, Italy's offensive continued unabated, but the defensive intensity was significantly improved by a notch, Denmark felt a little uncomfortable, but when they couldn't adapt, Inzaghi used his ghostly pace to provide Vieri and Tomasi with assists in a row, and the score instantly became 4:2.
Subsequently, although Romedahl pulled a goal back for Denmark, he still couldn't save the fate of being eliminated, not because they didn't play well, but because the opponent played too well, especially Inzaghi, two goals and two assists, this data can only be said to be the data that human beings should have.
In this way, the quarterfinals are all out, and England, Nigeria, France, Germany, Turkey, Brazil, Portugal, Italy, these eight teams have become the quarterfinals of the 17th World Cup. Of the eight teams, six are from Europe, which has to be said to be the center of world football or in Europe, just look at the top eight.
None of these eight teams is easy to deal with, since the quarterfinals came out, Nie Huan has studied more thoroughly, but from the current point of view, if these eight teams can choose opponents, Portugal may be a good choice, although they have superstars like Figo, but their defense and the thickness of the lineup are average, but Nie Huan knows that if he wants to meet Portugal, he has to wait until the final.
The remaining teams, Italy and France, are the last they want to meet, compared to the two of them, whether it is Brazil or England, they will be much less threatening, England has a good qualifying result, but their major tournament abnormality has not been broken, and Brazil, although this team looks luxurious, but in fact the midfield and defense are their weak link, maybe the rise of Kaka now, can allow Scolari to relieve the pressure a little.
There are no major problems in the German team at the moment, and the whole team is united, which is what Nie Huan likes to see the most.
Although Italy does not have Pirlo, there is still no shortage of good players in the midfield of this team, such as Tomasi, this guy can be said to be a bright spot in the Italian midfield of this World Cup, tough defense, and good offensive means, so that Trapattoni can use a lot of options when arranging the formation, in addition to him, Gattuso, Koko and a group of other people are very powerful midfielders, plus the incomparably terrifying Inzaghi, Totti and Vieri, this team looks really difficult to beat.
Nie Huan is studying others, and others are also studying them, such as Italy's coach Lapatoni.
