Chapter 510: Number of Shots
Brazil's first shot of the game came in the 13th minute. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
At that time, Neymar was tripped by Zhang Linpeng and fell to the ground while dribbling on the side, and the referee blew Zhang Linpeng for a foul, and at the same time gave the Brazilian team a free kick on the side.
Neymar's free-kick was headed in by Thiago Silva from four yards out.
But the ball Thiago Silva went high.
After the football flew high over the crossbar, Sun Pan in front of the goal whistled.
Thiago Silva glared at Sun Pan after landing on the ground, but Sun Pan ignored it.
Since the Brazilians are in a hurry, let's give them some more gas. This is Sun Pan's idea.
"Brazil finally had their first shot on goal, but this time the shot was ridiculously high!" He Ping seized the opportunity to taunt Brazil. Although the Brazilian team has a large number of fans in China, He Ping is not worried that he will offend those Brazilian fans, at this time, all Chinese are of course fans of the national Olympic team, and they all hope that the final winner is the Chinese team.

Thiago Silva's header didn't hit the woodwork, but Brazil didn't give up and continued to attack China.
Of course, their attacking style hasn't changed either, and as soon as they get closer to the 30-metre zone, they rely more on their individual ability than on patient passes.
It is in stark contrast to the Chinese team's counterattack by passing the ball.
Because the Brazilian team's offensive was fierce during this time, most of the time the Chinese team was compressed in their own half. Even if there is a chance to counterattack, they often can't put in too many troops, and they have to reach the front of the opponent's penalty area with three or two passes. Of course, the success rate of such a kick is not high.
However, the Chinese team is already one goal ahead, and they don't need to worry.
Remember Brazilian.
In the face of Brazil's onslaught, the Chinese team played a defensive counterattack, which was also their main tactic in this Olympics. Relying on defensive counterattacks, they fought all the way out of the group stage and came to the knockout round.
However, the Chinese team's defensive counterattack is not the kind of defensive counterattack that cowers in front of its own goal and then allows the opponent to control the ball at will outside.
The Chinese team was more aggressive in their counter-attack, and their players would rely on their numerical superiority to surround the Brazilian players in their own half, dividing them and making them unable to connect with each other.
This is a very suitable move against the Brazilian team.
In the face of the Chinese team's division and encirclement strategy, the Brazilian players relied on their personal ability to stand out, and they all seemed to be possessed by Garrincha, dribbling wildly, relying on their personal ability to create opportunities.
In the eighteenth minute, Damian took the ball to the front of the Chinese team, and in the face of Yang Muge and Zhang Jiadong's sandwich, he did not play the ball in time, but chose to continue to dribble the ball. After being forced into the pavilion by Zhang Jiadong and Yang Muge, he also tried to use his personal skills to get rid of the defense, but Yang Muge stretched out his foot and stabbed the ball......
The football that was stabbed down by Yang Muge fell to Zhou Yi's feet, and Zhou Yi turned around directly and sent the ball to the front, this time Thiago Silva grabbed the ball before He Ying received the ball and pushed the football out of the sideline.
Since He Ying's goal, Thiago Silva has been closely guarded against him.
When the Chinese team threw a throw-in, not all the people who came up to participate, and finally He Ying gave the football to Zhou Yi.
Under the defense of Brazilian midfielder Romero, Zhou Yi did not choose to control the ball, he threw the football thrown by He Ying directly to He Ying with his foot, and He Ying passed the football back to Zhang Jiadong.
At this time, Zhou Yi had already turned around and cut into the air and shook off Romero.
Zhang Jiadong passed the football back to him again, and He Ying had already completed the run, Zhou Yi passed the football to He Ying again, and asked He Ying to end the attack, no matter what the result was, it didn't matter.
In the end, He Ying was pressed close by Thiago Silva and shot the ball wide.
Although it did not hit the goal frame, it was still counted as a shot, and in terms of the number of shots on goal, the Chinese team also led Brazil 2:1.
In this attack, the Chinese team put in a total of three people, and the final shot was formed. It can be seen that the counterattack efficiency of the Chinese team is actually higher than that of Brazil.
Most people may only see that China's shot did not form a goal and did not hit the frame, but what is behind it is more telling for itself.

Two minutes later, Brazil were tied with China on the number of shots on goal.
In the twentieth minute, Damion broke through the Chinese team's defense on the side this time and formed a cross.
Chelsea midfielder Oscar followed up in the middle and fired a left-footed shot eight metres from goal.
However, this shot was relatively positive, and Sun Pan, who was waiting in front of the goal, held the football in his arms without much effort.
After saving the ball, he did not forget to verbally ridicule the Brazilian players: "Is it so weak to shoot so weakly, is it so capable?"
Although Oscar is also a Chelsea player, Sun Pan has no intention of taking care of his teammates.
The only pity is that others can't understand what he says, and if he can master Chinese many languages, then he can carry out his trash talk offensive on the field......
※※※
The Brazilian side had just equalized the number of shots on goal, and the Chinese team soon launched two more attacks in succession, with Zhou Yi and Wu Lei's long-range shots both high one after another. In terms of the number of shots on goal, the Chinese team took the lead again and opened the gap, 4:2.
Comparing shots on goal may seem like a boring task, but with this simple comparison of numbers, you can guess how well the two teams are performing.
In terms of the number of shots, the Chinese team has more than the Brazilian team, so it must not be said that the Chinese team was pressed by the Brazilian team, although it was a defensive counterattack, but the Chinese team was not embarrassed on the field.
From the perspective of watching the game, the Brazilian team does have an advantage on the field, and they have more times to attack the 30-meter area of the Chinese team, judging from the more than 20 minutes of the game, the Brazilian team has scored more times than China.
By the 20th minute of the game, the Chinese team had attacked the 30-meter area of the Brazilian team four times, and the Brazilian team had eight times, which was twice as many as the Chinese team. But the number of shots on goal, the Chinese team is four, the Brazilian team is two, and the Chinese team has doubled the Brazilian team.
What does this data mean?
It shows that although the Brazilian team has entered the 30-meter area of the Chinese team, the advantage in this 30-meter area is not great. They averaged just 24 seconds of possession in the 30-metre zone.
What does this mean?
For example, in the just-concluded Euro 2012 championship, Spain won the championship, and the Spanish team scored an average of 31 times per game into the opponent's 30-meter zone, and the average time of possession in this zone was 1 minute and 28 seconds. Spain had four times as long as Brazil in possession up front, and the long period of possession gave Spain an advantage in attack, allowing them to create more shots on goal. Brazil's short period of possession in this regard is also confirmed by the fact that they have fewer shots on goal than China, indicating that their attacking efficiency in the front court is inefficient and ineffective.

Seeing that the game has been going on for more than 20 minutes, although the Brazilian team's offensive is fierce, it does not pose a substantial threat to the Chinese team's goal, and the head coach of the Brazilian team, Menezes, has made adjustments in advance.
In the 26th minute, he brought on Hulk for starting midfielder Alex Sandro.
"Brazil used up a substitution early, this is a forced substitution! Losing a goal too early disrupted Brazil's pre-match schedule...... He Ping said. "After conceding the goal, everyone expected Brazil to get into the rhythm of the game quickly, but now it seems that they have not yet found the feeling of the game...... Menezes is hopeful that Hulk's arrival will change that. Hulk is really a player with a lot of ability, the key is that he has very good physical fitness, and the players of the national Olympic team should be careful that he takes advantage of his physical advantage......"
After Hulk came on the field, it did change the offensive effect of the Brazilian team to a certain extent.
In the 38th minute, the Brazilian team organized an attack in the front, Oscar handed the football to Hulk, and after Hulk got the ball, he suddenly shot from 35 meters away from the goal!
The football flew like a cannonball to the Chinese team's goal.
The ball was not only sudden, but of high quality.
Football is coming to the goal of the Chinese team!
"Be careful!!," exclaimed the narrator, He Ping.
The Chinese fans in the stands also let out a frightened inhalation.
Hulk's shot was Brazil's third of the game, but it was also the one that gave them the most sense of crisis. Although it is far from the goal, the momentum can be clearly felt in the stands!
No one could stop the flying football, except goalkeeper Sun Pan.
When Hulk shot the football towards the goal, Sun Pan had already moved his feet quickly, and then took off into the air and pounced in the direction where the ball came from!
It's just that everyone's attention was attracted by the football flying in the air at that time, and they didn't see Sun Pan at all.
It wasn't until the football was about to fly in front of the goal that everyone realized that Zhou Yi's hands were about to touch the football!
Hulk's shot was dragged by Sun Pan's palm, bounced up, and hit the lower edge of the crossbar!
Then it fell down, but fortunately it did not fall into the goal line, but it did not get out of the danger area, the football bounced up after hitting the ground, and it was still in the penalty area of the Chinese team, or even in the small penalty area!
This situation plunged the Chinese team into chaos in the penalty area, and in the chaos, Darmion came out of the crowd, ran to the football, and shot the ball!
And Sun Pan, who had just landed, struggled and jumped up from the ground again, reaching out to block it.
The ball hit his palm and was blocked off the line...... Alarm dismissed!
"Beautiful! Sun Pan! Great continuous save! He saved the goal of the Chinese team!" He Ping yelled excitedly, and almost jumped up from the chair of the commentary seat......
On the other side, the commentator of the Brazilian TV station held his head in his hands: "Ahhhh
