Chapter 60: The Second Battle for Brazil (Part II)
In the past, Wuqiu Wang has always had a problem, that is, he is not calm enough when shooting, and he can't quickly determine the most promising shooting method and angle like Gao Jun even if the opponent's goalkeeper is about to rush to the front, and Wuqiu Wang's own footwork is not particularly good, so his shooting scoring rate has always been the lowest among the front four of the national football team. However, the king of martial arts himself has long known this, so he chose to pass Cesar and then hit the empty goal just now, and it seems that the effect is not bad.
Gao Jun also expressed his approval for the choice of the Wuqiu King, and the continuous improvement of the Wuqiu King's dribbling breakthrough ability made him even more pleased. Historically, because Xu Genbao did not know how to cultivate Wuqiu Wang, an outlier among Chinese players, he wasted a lot of time in exploration and experiments, and was worried that the late-developing Wuqiu King was injured and he was not allowed to break through with the ball in the game for a long time
And being able to score this crucial goal under heavy pressure fully proves the excellence of Wuqiu Wang's psychological element, although he still can't completely overcome the weakness of frizz when he is playing now, but in Gao Jun's memory, he has almost never been afraid and panicked, which is rare. Because frizz is a common trait of young people, with the growth of age and the accumulation of competition experience, sooner or later can be overcome, while fear and panic are much more difficult to overcome, even if there is improvement, it is mostly due to the stimulation of some unexpected events, which is only a probabilistic event after all.
"Although the physical element is not particularly outstanding, at least the characteristics are quite distinct, coupled with excellent ball sense, ball quotient and good psychological quality, this is still a rare outstanding talent in the history of Chinese football, coupled with the repeated tempering of basic skills in those years and the sharpening of high-level competitions later. It is not impossible for Xiao Wu to become a world-class star. The growth of Gu Lin in the past few years has exceeded my expectations, but after all, he is 86 years old, and he will be 32 years old by the time of the 2018 China World Cup, and his state may decline somewhat. still has to rely on Xiao Wu, after all, he is 5 years younger! Gao Jun thought of this. An idea that had been born for a long time suddenly became more determined
Although Wu Qiuwang's goal is like a slap in the face, the Brazilian team is a Brazilian team after all, so it will not collapse because of this small blow. Although the head coach of the Brazilian team, Scolari, regretted it a little, but since the score had been equalized, the Brazilian team had to strengthen the attack, so he simply made a mistake and did not make any adjustments. Not only that, but perhaps stimulated by the conceded goal, the Brazilian team became more and more aggressive. In particular, it strengthened the pressing in the midfield, which caused a lot of pressure on the Chinese team's midfield and backfield.
Fortunately, at this time, Yu Hai took the initiative to step forward and became a central defender with huge pressure. With his good physical skills and wide vision, the Chinese team has never collapsed no matter how passive he is on the court, and even has the power to counterattack
The managers of both sides saw this clearly, and the young Stano unabashedly expressed his appreciation for Yu Hai again. Scolari's face gradually shrouded in a dark cloud, "The outstanding players of the Chinese team are not only those in the frontcourt? Their strength is not weak at all. They shouldn't be underestimated before the game."
However, in the eyes of Chinese fans in the stands and in front of the TV, the situation on the field of the Chinese team is still precarious. From the 19th minute, Brazil won consecutive free kicks and corners and formed three threatening shots on goal, but fortunately, the Chinese boys came together to block two of them, and goalkeeper Wang Dalei also continued his excellent form. He made a brilliant long-range shot with great power
After withstanding the tidal wave of the Brazilian team's attack, the Chinese team, which had risen with confidence, pressed more resolutely when the opportunity for a quick counterattack appeared. In the 24th minute, Yang Hao, the defender of the Chinese team, sent a direct pass to the right no-man's land, and suddenly pulled the side to Xie Wenjun, who had switched positions with Wuqiu Wang, to complete a beautiful anti-offside position. Dribbling the ball to the near post and knocking it back, the back plug is shot at the ball. At this time, Cesar had moved to the near corner, and the goal was empty, which should have been a must-score opportunity, but it may be because of this that he was a little too stable when he shot and didn't exert much force, but he was desperately defended by the Brazilian team's fullback No. 2 Alves rushed to the goal before the ball crossed the line and hooked the ball out!
Gourin immediately rushed to the referee, saying that his shot had crossed the goal line, Alves hooked the ball from inside the goal, and the goal should be counted, and the Brazilian players also surrounded the referee to put pressure on the referee, with the exact opposite purpose. The fans in the stands and in front of the TV also had different opinions, some felt that the goal was scored, and some felt that the goal should not have been scored
Originally, no matter how this goal was awarded, I am afraid that it would cause controversy and even become a historical unsolved case. Luckily, however, advanced goal-line technology was introduced for the first time in the Confederations Cup, so there was no need for both sides to argue. Unfortunately, according to the goal-line system, when Alves hooked the ball just now, the ball had not crossed the goal line in its entirety, so it could not be counted. The result made the Brazilian fans in the stands thunderous, but a suspicious goal in the battle between China and Brazil can cause such a big reaction, which in turn shows how much of a threat the Chinese team poses to the Brazilian team in this game
However, the rapid counterattack of the Chinese team that almost succeeded this time made the head coach of the Brazilian team, Scolari, suddenly moved, "The rapid counterattack of the Chinese is indeed very threatening, but if it is used well, maybe it can catch the Chinese team off guard"
In the 33rd minute, the Chinese team broke the ball again in the midfield, but just as Yang Hao was about to pass the ball out to instigate a counterattack, the Brazilian team suddenly launched a siege regardless of a single qiē. It would be risky to do so, as there would be a lot of space in the rear, and if the Brazilian team failed to do so, the Chinese team's quick counterattack would hopefully be able to seal the throat. However, the number of midfielders and the individual ability of the midfielders of the Brazilian team have a clear advantage, and this risky siege was really successful, and this time the situation suddenly changed. Neymar received the ball and attracted the defense of the Chinese team's defenders and stuffed the ball straight into the ribs of the penalty area, and Adriano, who was not old, directly opened Zhao Ming to form a single knife, and volleyed vigorously near the corner of the small penalty area!
"Ahh Pounced out! Da Lei pounced out! What happened to Da Lei? He Wei's shouting in surprise came to an abrupt end, because he found that Wang Dalei on the big screen had fallen to the ground and didn't get up again, and the nearby Chinese players rushed over and were immediately worried about Wang Dalei's situation
After the slow-motion replay, the two CCTV commentators knew what had just happened, and the guest Gong Leiden's face turned blue when he landed, "It turns out that Adriano's hard shot hit Da Lei's face directly, no wonder, Adriano's full volley, such a close distance, I feel painful when I think about it"
"Got to have a concussion, right? So much power. Da Lei is good, he would rather use his face to eat this one than let the ball fly into the goal behind him! He Wei said worriedly and admiringly, and his voice was even a little choked.
"With such a fast ball speed, it's too late to dodge, right?" Although Gong Lei subconsciously complained in his heart, he couldn't help but applaud when he saw Wang Dalei standing up again. And at this time, even those Brazilian fans in the stands did not hesitate to applaud themselves and pay tribute to the warriors on this field.
At this time, the Chinese internationals on the field were more worried about whether Wang Dalei was injured, but fortunately, after the team doctor's examination, it was found that there was no major problem, at least there was no problem with the cervical spine, but a mild concussion could not be avoided, and Wang Dalei would definitely not be able to persist in this game, and it must be admitted that even if he is old now, Adriano's strong shot is still the first in the world
Wang Dalei was unexpectedly injured, so that Stano had to use up a substitution place early, and whether Zeng Cheng, the second goalkeeper who has rarely appeared in the official matches of the national football team in recent years, can bear the burden of the sudden drop also makes Stano feel a little uncertain. Especially the Brazilian team is about to take a corner kick, and Zeng Cheng has always had some problems judging the landing point of the high-altitude ball, so he has a figure of 1.88 meters, and his appearance when defending the high-altitude ball is not as good as Wang Dalei, who is not as tall as himself.
Stano's fears were soon fulfilled, but Adriano's header was deflected, otherwise the price of Wang Dalei's early exit would have been in vain. However, what made Stano feel a little relieved was that Zeng Cheng's table was quite stable, and there were no similar mistakes, otherwise this game would really not be able to play
But Zeng Cheng was able to keep the goal in the first half, thanks to his teammates, not only those defenders, but even the players in the front court basically withdrew back to assist in the defense, leaving only one Xie Wenjun in front of the Brazilian team's back line, so as not to prevent the Brazilian team from seizing the time when Zeng Cheng had just come on the field and was not fully in the state to score.
However, this also made the Chinese team's rapid counterattack much less powerful, no matter how strong Xie Wenjun's personal ability is, after all, it is not up to Cheng Dù during the "alien" period of Da Luo, and the Brazilian team only needs to ensure that three defenders stay behind to prevent Xie Wenjun's individual raid. As for the follow-up support of several other Chinese fast horses, you must know that the Brazilian team's return speed is also very fast. Therefore, the Chinese team also failed to score again in the first half, and the score of 1:1 was maintained until the end of the first half (to be continued......
