"Brazil's starting line-up was weird. Let's analyse their formation for this game. They put Lucio, Júnior, Edmilson in the backline, and Gilberto in midfield. Silva is the central midfielder, and Juninho is the central midfielder. Carlos and Cafu split the road. ”

Scolari is more conservative in terms of lineup, putting in three central defenders, Lucio, Júnior, and Edmilson. Cafu and Carlos are in the two full-back positions, but both wings belong to them. Defensively it's a back five, and when attacking, Cafu and Carlos become wide attackers.

"As for Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and Rivaldo, the three are all in front, they are completely in parallel positions. Rivaldo occupies a position in the middle, with Ronaldo and Ronaldinho on either side of Rivaldo. Scolari put all three of them up front. ”

It's a little different from what you're used to in Brazil.

In Brazil's previous games, Ronaldinho was a midfielder or a nine-and-a-half position at the back, the heart of the attack. But in this game, Scolari asked Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and Rivaldo to take a parallel position and put them all in the forward position.

Offensive!

As soon as the match started, Brazil looked like they were going to eat their opponents. Anyway, it's just a roar to attack.

"Juninho, give the ball to Rivaldo. Rivaldo, smash ...... Brent, Brent knocks Rivaldo down. The referee blew the whistle and it was a foul. ”

"Good location, more than 30 meters from the goal. Rivaldo takes a free-kick and Hakan. Yunsar pushed the ball out. ”

That's the beginning.

Two minutes into the game. Brazil won a free-kick. Jack warns Brent to restrain his movements a bit. It can be seen that Brazil wants to eat Turkey from the beginning. Of course, Brazil has the quality to attack.

Look at their attackers.

Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho. And Juninho behind them, who are all good attackers. They are all powerful factions that are famous in world football. Their combination can break through any defense.

They understandably look down on Turkey.

"The ball was played by Gilberto. Silva got the ball, Gilberto. Silva handed the ball to Ronaldo. Ronaldo, Ronaldo and Rivaldo came with a kick-and-wall combination. Ronaldo, shoot! ”

"It's not a big threat, it's high."

Three minutes, this is the third minute of the opening period. Brazil had already created two shots in a row.

"Carlos, Carlos gave the ball to Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho, it's the hanging door. The ball is too beautiful, albeit a little higher. But very imaginative. ”

Seven minutes, it was Brazil's fifth shot on goal in the opening seven minutes. Anyway, after the game started, Brazil bombed Turkey indiscriminately. Turkey is probably overwhelmed by Brazil's fame.

In the first ten minutes, the game was very passive. Turkey didn't have a single shot on goal in the first ten minutes.

However, Brazil's attack was only ten minutes. Because the weather is so hot today, 35 degrees Celsius, many players are not used to it. Brazil bombed Turkey indiscriminately for 10 minutes, and the physical exertion was very high.

Sweating profusely, an individual can lose very quickly.

Tired. The Brazilian player ran for a while, sweating all over. Can't sustain the same high-intensity attack as the first 10 minutes. The same is true for Jack, who is also tired from enforcing the law in such a high temperature for the first time. I was thirsty and only ran for ten minutes. I already felt the suffocation caused by the high temperature.

Brazil's attack is slowly weakening, and they also need to allocate their energy. Such a high temperature does not distribute physical strength. It is simply impossible to complete a ninety-minute game.

At this time, the style of the Turkish national team came out. Turkey is also a very physical team in European football. At the beginning of the game, it was simply because they were stunned by the Brazilian attack, so they were not able to play their characteristics.

But as Brazil's offensive weakened. Turkey is characterized by more and more obviousness.

The Turkish players can run and their defence is very layered. Their defence starts from midfield. Layers of defensive system. Coupled with their super physical strength, after ten minutes of the game, they slowly suppressed Brazil.

A very unexpected situation.

"Emre, Juninho is coming up. Emre, smash, Emre accelerates...... Emre passed Juninho, who handed the ball to Basturk. Basturk shoots from distance! This shot is of high quality. ”

"Marcos saved the ball and Marcos saved Brazil."

Slowly, Brazil began to gain the upper hand. The biggest problem is that Brazil's front and back are completely disconnected, and the powerful 3R, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo and Juninho in the back are completely out of sync.

There was something wrong with Scolari's choice.

In the midfield position, he simply chose a midfielder, Gilberto. Silva. With the development of modern football, you can't do all the midfield work alone, even if you are a strong midfielder. Even Emerson couldn't have done it all by himself, let alone his replacement, Gilberto. Silva.

And Turkey's midfield is not weak at all. Like Emre and Basturk, they are both very strong attacking midfielders, and they are all players who have the strength to establish themselves in the European giants. And Hakan. It's also rare to find a top-tier center like Suker.

Gilberto. Silva alone could not protect himself from the onslaught of these people. Therefore, Juninho can only drop back to help defend. It's a pity that Juninho's task in this game is to deliver shells to them behind the 3R.

But under defensive pressure, it was only a drop back to help Gilberto. Silva. Juninho was not able to organize the attack, delivering shells to the 3Rs in front. In this way, the entire Brazilian attack was disjointed, and the 3R in front did not have shells, which led to a poor performance for the three of them.

It was all a mistake by Scolari.

Originally, Brazil has always played around the 3R, and Ronaldinho is playing the current Juninho position. But maybe Scolari wants a good start too much, and there are some underestimates of Turkey. It turned out to be that the 3R went up to the front. Instead, it led to a chaotic offense.

Now it is Turkey that is more and more confident that it is fighting.

And Brazil's offensive chaos can only play individual strength. In particular, Ronaldo, who has returned from injury, has performed okay. Several excellent breakthroughs left the Turkish players with foul attempts.

There were some bumps in the game.

Anyway, in the midfield it is Turkey who has the advantage, and in the attack. The individual quality of the Brazilian players is very strong. Because neither side had any good attacking chances, but instead got entangled in the midfield, there was not much controversy in the game.

Jack is getting more and more relaxed.

The World Cup is no more than that. The World Cup matches are just a lot of attention, and they are no different from ordinary Premier League matches. If you foul a foul, you will be given a yellow card, and that's the case anyway.

Therefore, the tension that Jack had at the beginning had slowly disappeared.

"Emre, Emre is beautiful, Emre is better than Juninho. Juninho's position in this game is too awkward, and I don't know if it's a front or a back midfielder. However, whether it is the front or the back, he has not been successful. The midfielder was not able to make the most of his excellent passing ability. Defensively he couldn't help Gilberto. Silva. ”

The narrator is a pity for Juninho.

Juninho is a very good player, but it was a very embarrassing game. The offense can't go up, and the defense can't go either. Broken through by Emre several times, Juninho lost face.

"Emre, give the ball to Basturk. Basturk, pass! ”

Basturk is outstanding, one of Turkey's top talents. He is a Bundesliga star and is currently a key player at Bayer Leverkusen. This time too.

After receiving the ball, Basturk did not play to his speed and skill at his feet. It's about showing his wide vision and his ability to pass the ball. Immediately with the ball, it was a beautiful overhead ball.

"The ball went past Lucio and Edmilson, Hassan. Sas, Hassan. Sass slaps the horse and arrives! ”

The best winger of the Turkish national team at the moment. Hassan. Sass is not only good at breaking, but also excellent at shooting. Hassan. The moment when Sass passes the ball through Basturk. immediately accelerated into the Brazilian team's penalty area.

Just in time for the ball, without any hesitation it was a volley.

"Hassan. SAS, shoot! ”

"This shot is too close. Marcos had no choice. Marcos simply didn't have time to react. ”

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！”

"Turkey, Turkey. With only one minute left at the end of the first half. Turkey opened the scoring. Turkey took the lead, and Turkey relied on Hassan. SASS took the lead over Brazil in the opener. The result was unexpected. ”

'But judging by the situation in the first half. Turkey were brilliant and their defence was tight, preventing Brazil's attack from creating good chances. Brazil looks more difficult, while Turkey has a clear physical advantage in hot weather. ”

Brazil played chaotic and Jack could feel it better on the field.

When Brazil arrived in the frontcourt, they relied on the individual strength of the stars and did not cooperate at all in the frontcourt. Turkey, on the other hand, have a lot of rhythm in midfield. Several of Turkey's midfielders are both defensive and offensive, all of which are coordinated as a whole.

In this way, it will be difficult for Brazil to play.

But fortunately, the first half is about to end. Brazil had plenty of time to make changes at half-time.

"Doodoo-"

The first half was fluid, with Jack blowing the whistle for the end of the first half after a minute of supplementation. For Jack, the first half of the game was simple and there were no difficulties.

If all World Cup matches are of this difficulty, then Jack thinks it's too easy.

The Brazilian players entered the dressing room in frustration. (To be continued......)
