"Looking at the score alone, Hiddink's strategy seems to be half the battle, but the first half was not strictly speaking, the Australian team defended well, but the Brazilians frequently wasted opportunities, and according to the constant danger in the first half, I am more optimistic that the Brazilian team will win this game." , Yu Hai gave such an evaluation after watching the first half.
Rong Hao's opinion was more cautious, but his words inadvertently stimulated the nerves of some old international players, "Brazil was like playing a warm-up game in the first half, let's see if we can tighten up in the second half, this 'aristocratic disease' is not a good thing, let's not learn it." Don't say it's impossible, it shouldn't be on the world stage, but it's not easy to say about Asian events, even when the national football team didn't rush out of Asia before, there were people who didn't do their best in the national team competition. ”
However, after the start of the second half, the sudden acceleration of the attacking tempo of the Brazilian team quickly attracted the attention of the international players, and virtually resolved a possible dispute within the national football team. Looking at the dazzling attack of the Brazilian team on the field, Qu Bo exclaimed, "Even the injured Da Luo has begun to force a breakthrough personally, it seems that the Brazilian team is really in a hurry, and it should go all out!" ”
Qu Bo's words were quickly confirmed, only 4 minutes after the start of the second half, the Brazilian team played a textbook wonderful combination, Xiao Luo accurately passed through the left ribs, Da Luo received the ball in the front of the penalty area and put on a posture to raise his foot to shoot, attracting two Australian players to come forward to block, at this time Da Luo unexpectedly knocked his left foot across the middle. Adriano, who was outflanked in place, stopped the ball with his left foot and shot smoothly on the line of the penalty area. I saw the ball "whoosh" from the crotch of Australian goalkeeper Chipperfield into the bottom right corner of the goal, 1-0! Brazil quickly took the lead after the start of the second half. Hiddink's face on the sidelines was as pale as earth for a moment, and his wishful thinking for half the court was about to succeed, but he was shattered in an instant
After Adriano's goal, Brazil's stars surrounded him and made a cradle gesture to celebrate Ade's double happiness. Two days before the race, his son had just been born in Brazil. Adriano was delighted by this special celebration by his teammates and added a touch of warmth to the tense atmosphere
"It's a Brazilian team, it's really amazing to get serious and break the deadlock so quickly." , Rong Hao praised it. But he asked thoughtfully, "In fact, we can often play this kind of cooperation, why do I still feel that this cooperation of the Brazilian team is more powerful?" ”
"It's not that they're more subtle than us, it's that each of them is more intimidating, and every player with the ball can attract two or three opposing players, and no matter how strong the defense is, it will look empty, and the last outflanking will naturally get much more space, and it will be easier to score." Gao Jun quickly replied. And encouraged his teammates, "And where does the deterrence come from? On the one hand, there is fame, which is mainly accumulated slowly by the game table, and on the other hand, personal ability. This is something that needs to be gradually improved through hard training. You can't become a world-class star just by having a good sense of tactics but not having strong enough personal ability, so don't listen to the layman's nonsense that boasts about how advanced the "competition for training" is. There is no substitute for the role of training, especially strength and technique"
Seeing that the score is behind. Hiddink had to send on Colwill early to fight for it, and he was replaced by Cahill, who had an excellent performance in the previous game but almost completely disappeared in this game. Lacking the ability to get away from it and not strong enough for Australia to support him against a strong Brazil side, it was no surprise that Cahill was completely ineffective on the pitch despite his excellent shooting prowess, so it was no surprise that he was substituted early.
Looking at Cahill's gloomy eyes when he left the game, Zheng Zhi couldn't help but think of the club's teammate Da Yu, who was excellent in the league, and the reason why he was not selected for the final list of the World Cup was the same reason as Cahill's substitution in this game, "Cahill's table was so good in the last game, but after two games, the gap between him and the army was completely revealed." This is also the case with Da Yu, who lacks the ability to get rid of it, so he can only play well when playing a weak team, and there is no weak team in the World Cup, relative to the strength of the national football team"
Hiddink's substitution had an immediate effect, and soon the Australian team created a number of threatening shooting opportunities in a row, and in the 54th minute, the Australian team's No. 23 Bresciano, who came on as a substitute in the first half, formed a single knife into the Brazilian team's penalty area, but was returned to the defense because the ball was not decisive enough. Roberto sabotage. In the 56th minute, Brazilian goalkeeper Dida accidentally got off his hand under the interference of Viduca, the attacking core of the Australian team, and Colwill volleyed his left foot into the empty goal, but he was too excited and flew away!
"The old mistakes of the Brazilian team have been made again, and they have been made too early, so why don't you relax after leading by two or three goals! It's only one goal ahead and then relaxed, isn't this looking for death? However, it would be nice if the Brazilian team made such a mistake when playing with us", Rong Hao scolded twice, and then laughed a little maliciously.
After hearing this, Gao Jun was very unhappy and taught him, "If you are young, don't develop the bad habit of pinning your hopes on your opponent to make mistakes!" ”
"I'm just joking", Rong Hao was bored, pouting and not talking anymore
At this time, the head coach of the Brazilian team also noticed that the shape of the field was not good, and immediately changed two people at once, sending Robinho and Gilberto. Silva came on to replace Ronaldo and Emerson, who had a yellow card. Gilberto. Silva is a world-class defensive midfielder who can strengthen Brazil's midfield and, crucially, not have a yellow card on him, so he won't be held back in defence. Robinho's appearance increased the pace of Brazil's attack, and the shape on the field quickly reversed.
In the 73rd minute, Robinho's long-range shot from more than 30 yards went high, but it further boosted the morale of the Brazilian team. In the 76th minute, Brazil broke the ball in the backfield and quickly counterattacked, the former world's No. 1 right-back Cafu passed directly to the penalty area on the right side, Adriano and Robinho in the penalty area had a series of wonderful cooperation that simply ignored the Australian team's backline and then Adriano turned and shot, although it was blocked, the Brazilian team got the opportunity to attack the goal continuously, and the Australian fans in the stands were terrified, but the Australian team united and tenaciously resolved this suffocating continuous attack.
"Although it is very unhappy, it must be admitted that Hiddink's team is very combative, this is a team that can play a tough battle, their tenacious style of never giving up in advance is worth learning from, and we did not lose unjustly in the last game", Gao Jun praised with a somewhat complicated face.
In the 82nd minute, Brazil won a corner kick after a failed free kick, but Kaka's nod hit the crossbar and shocked Hiddink on the sidelines. Only 1 minute later, Viduka's header almost equalized, causing an exclamation from the Chinese internationals, if the Brazilian team was equalized by the Australian team, then the shape of the Chinese team to qualify would become very bad!
As the game drew to a close, the Australian team's offensive became more and more fierce, and even gradually occupied a certain advantage on the field. In the 86th minute, the Australian team played a long pass from the backfield, Culina's header was ferried to the left side of the penalty area, and Viduka's volley less than 10 meters from the goal went over the crossbar, leaving Hiddink on the sidelines speechless
"The physical advantage of the Australian team is gradually showing up, they are not falling behind at all on the field, Hiddink's preemptive strategy is actually quite reasonable, but the Australian players can't take the opportunity, they can't help it." , Yu Hai commented on two sentences, and said, "It seems that although the Brazilian team is strong, there are many flaws in the overall situation, as long as we can do our best, we may not be able to compete with them."
"It's not that easy, the Australian team is stronger and more physical than the Brazilian team, as long as they play to their strengths, it is possible to play with the Brazilian team in attack and defense. On the whole, we are weaker than Brazil in general, and even our greatest strength, speed, is not stronger than Brazil, let alone other aspects. So don't underestimate the difficulty of the last game", although Gao Jun knew that his truth was very demoralizing, it was better than their blind optimism before the game and the Brazilian team was stunned.
Before Gao Jun's words fell, the Brazilian team knocked on the goal of the Australian team again through guò's multi-level attack, although it was actually a supplementary score, but the Brazilian team's wave after wave of attacks still made the vast majority of Chinese internationals watching the game a little discolored. With this goal, the Brazilian team finally sealed the victory, and defeated the Australian team that had caused them a lot of difficulties in the game with a score of 2:0
Judging from the group qualification, Brazil's victory in this game is more beneficial to the Chinese team. Now the Brazil team has increased their points to 6 points, and they have actually qualified early, so that they have no motivation to fight the Chinese team in the last game. Even so, China's qualification is still not optimistic, although they now have three points and are temporarily second in the group with a goal difference, but if they want to qualify from the group, they will not only have to look at their own table, but also the result of the final round of the match between Australia and Croatia (to be continued......
