Chapter 12 The Confederations Cup Final Begins, Shocking the World's Dominating Performance!
As soon as Bailey's prophecy came out, it immediately detonated public opinion.
No way, who called Bailey a famous crow's mouth!
Since the 1990 World Cup, Pele has made predictions every time.
As a result, without exception, all the popular teams were milked to death by him.
In the 1990 World Cup, Pele was optimistic about Yugoslavia.
Yugoslavia was eliminated by Argentina and fell in the quarterfinals.
This is not the worst, the worst thing is that after this World Cup, Yugoslavia disintegrated, and there was no chance of revenge on Argentina.
In 1994, Pele predicted that Colombia would win the championship, but Colombia fell directly in the group stage, and their defender Escobar was shot to death by his own fans because of an own goal error, causing a tragedy in football.
In addition to the two worst teams, France, Argentina and even their own country, Brazil, have been pitted by his predictions.
Because of Pele's crow's beak attribute, fans are both respectful and afraid of him, even to the extent that they are all soldiers.
At the last World Cup, Pele made a prediction that Brazil would reach the final.
As a result, after hearing his prediction, the Brazilian media directly announced the elimination of the Brazilian team in the next day's report, but before the game started, the media report made a huge oolong.
But the Brazilian media only made a fuss, and there was nothing wrong with their reporting, after all, Brazil was really carried away by the Dutch in the game at the end of the day......
Spain was also poisoned by Pele, and in the 1998 World Cup, Pele expressed optimism that Spain would win the championship.
However, Spain lost one after another in the group stage, failed to qualify from the group, and went home directly.
The Spaniards, who had felt the power of Pele's poisoned milk, were relieved to hear Pele's prediction that Brazil would win the championship!
Under Pele's social account, a group of Spanish fans came to leave messages:
"Thank you for the grace of Pele!"
"Thanksgiving!"
"Thanksgiving +10086!"
……
On the other hand, after learning of Pele's prophecy, Brazil was nervous to death.
Why not poison milk Spain?
Why do you want to milk us?
This is to kill us!
I'm so angry, I want to curse!
But you can't scold!
Gotta hold on!
Pele has made outstanding contributions to the Brazilian team, and he has led the team to three World Cup titles!
Three of the five stars on Brazil's jersey were contributed by him.
In the face of such a famous football player in his country, even if the Brazilian player is angry in his heart, he can only hold back.
A Brazilian reporter interviewed Pele and asked him euphemistically why he wanted to poison his country's team?
"Why do you all think I'm poisoned milk? Many of my predictions have come true! ”
Bailey looked at the camera in surprise and said:
"I think there's a bias against me, yes, I've made a lot of wrong predictions, but I've had a lot of successful predictions!"
"For example, in the last World Cup, I was optimistic that Germany would beat Argentina before the game, and didn't Germany win?"
The reporter replied weakly:
"Then you were expecting Brazil and Argentina to meet in the finals before the game, but both teams fell to the quarter-finals......"
Bailey was angry:
"I repeat, I'm optimistic that Brazil will win the championship, and I'll go live to watch this game and cheer for the boys in the Brazilian team!"
Originally, Pele just opened his mouth to predict, and the Brazilian fans were already very nervous.
At this time, when I heard that he was going to watch the game, the Brazilian fans were so frightened that they were about to cry!
"Football king, you old man is good, let our Brazilian team go!"
"I was optimistic about Brazil, but now it's ......"
"Ten thousand blood book Pele is not going to watch the game live!"
The Brazilian fans' 10,000-strong letter doesn't seem to have worked.
On the day of the final, the cameras captured Pele sitting in the box at the Maracanã Stadium.
The king of the ball, he is really here!
Sitting in the box, Bailey's own mood was also very apprehensive.
You can't really have a crow's mouth, right?
If Brazil really loses this game......
At 7 p.m., the final of the Confederations Cup officially began.
When the players entered, the photographer at the scene specially gave Neymar and Lin Quan a comparative shot.
Obviously, the focus of today's game is these two people.
Whoever can win the game will be able to overpower the opponent.
However, before the start of this game, Lin Quan had already scored 7 goals in this Confederations Cup, equaling the history of the Confederations Cup.
Neymar, on the other hand, scored four fewer goals than him, and the gap between the two was huge.
So even if the Brazilian team wins this time, I'm afraid there will still be a lot of people who support Lin Quan.
But if the Spanish team led by Lin Quan wins, then there will probably be no more controversy about who is stronger and who is weak between him and Neymar.
After all, in terms of goals, assists and team results, Neymar can't compare.
What does he take to win?
Neymar himself was obviously aware of this, so his eyes were full of hostility when he looked at Lin Quan.
In the handshake between the two sides, after Neymar and Lin Quan shook hands, they did not let go directly, but looked at him directly, as if they were declaring war on him.
I will definitely prove my strength in the competition!
The championship trophy is ours Brazilian!
Regarding the hostility and fighting spirit expressed by Neymar, Lin Quan's response was very flat.
He nodded slightly, as if to say:
Oh, then come on!
This bland response made Neymar a little stunned.
"Haha, Neymar was ignored by Lin Quan!"
"Hehe, looking at him, it seems that he wants to compare Lin Quan with all his strength, but Lin Quan seems to have never regarded him as an opponent!"
"Then indeed, Lin Huang's opponent must be a player of Ronaldo and Messi's level, Neymar? He's not qualified enough! ”
Because Neymar's quality on the field is not very good, and he is not as good as Lin Quan in all the statistics of this Confederations Cup.
So among neutral fans, Lin Quan's support rate is much higher than that of Neymar.
But in Brazil, there are clearly more fans supporting Neymar.
Seeing Lin Quan's almost ignorant response, the Brazilian fans at the scene booed him.
They think Lin Quan is putting on a score!
Aren't you a young player too?
Do you really think of yourself as a superstar?
……
After the pre-match sessions, the players from both sides took their places.
Lin Quan glanced at the position of the opposite player and found that the formation of the Brazilian team today was 4231.
It's a formation that plays both offense and defense.
Spain are in a 433 formation today, but they don't have a pivot striker.
Pedro, Lin Quan and David Silva at the front are not the kind of traditional strikers.
So 433 was just a cover, and immediately after the start of the fight, Spain became a strikerless formation.
As for the Spanish team's formation and play, Brazil's side has long expected it.
Spain's formation in this Confederations Cup has hardly changed, and when they meet strong teams, they play their best strikerless formation.
Take advantage of the numerical advantage in the midfield to firmly control the ball at your feet, and then use the constant passing to tear apart the opponent's defense and complete the fatal blow.
Only when they are against a weak team will they put a traditional striker like Torres in the starting line-up and let him act as a fulcrum up front.
In order to limit the Spaniard's midfield advantage, Brazil used two defensive midfielders in this game.
Both of these are the kind of sweeping midfielders with good physical strength, large running range and strong impact.
One is Gustavo, who plays for Bayern, and the other is Paulinho, who was signed by Tottenham for £17 million.
Of these two, Lin Quan and Gustavo have fought each other.
As for Paulinho, Lin Quan has watched his games at Evergrande and knows that he is the kind of B2B type of midfielder.
Energetic, strong defensively, impactful, with a good pass and long-range shot, he is nicknamed Violent Bird!
Although he has not yet shown his strength in the five major leagues, he must not be a weak role if he can be selected for the Brazilian national team.
In this game, the strangulation between the two sides in the midfield may be fierce.
Lin Quan thought that this game would be very anxious, but he didn't expect Brazil to start attacking directly after the opening.
They bypassed the midfield and went straight from the back with the full-backs to find their own strikers.
Hulk, known as the Hulk, relied on his physical advantage to get the ball in the scramble, and after he got the ball, he passed it to Oscar, and he resolutely stepped forward.
Oscar plugged into the box and the ball was blocked by the Spanish defender's outstretched foot.
But the clearance did not kick far and was obtained by Neymar.
Neymar made a feint, dodged the player who grabbed it, and shot directly into the penalty area with his feet.
Casillas was well prepared as he leaped high to save Neymar's shot.
But after the ball was saved, it was once again grabbed by the Brazilian player.
Fred, who followed up, fired a blast into the empty net!
Brazil took the lead just one minute into the game.
After seeing the referee confirm that the goal was valid, the Brazilian fans at the scene cheered in disbelief.
It's not a dream, is it?
Scored in the first minute?
Spain doesn't look as strong as it seems!
At this moment, Brazilian fans feel like they are about to be overwhelmed by the tide of happiness!
The godly, almost invincible Spain depicted before the game, seemed to have fallen in front of them and let them slaughter!
In the box, after Pele saw this ball, he danced excitedly!
What do you think?
What am I talking about?
Brazil can beat Spain at home to win the championship!
Who else dares to say I'm a crow's beak now?
He felt that the hat that had been fastened to his head was finally going to be taken off!
But the Spanish players won't say yes!
"Sorry, my, I missed someone!"
Alba took the initiative to reach out and take the blame, signaling that he was not optimistic about Neymar and allowing him to complete the shot.
"It's not your fault, it's that I couldn't control the landing point in the first place!"
Ramos also stepped up to admit his mistake, his concentration just now was not very focused, and there was a mistake in the cooperation with Cassie.
If he had focused just now, after Cassie made a save, he should have been in control of the first landing point, and then Fred would not have had a chance to make a follow-up shot.
"Okay, don't blame yourself, there is still time for the game, with this self-blame effort, it is better to think about how to equalize!"
The atmosphere in the Spanish team is good, and the consecutive wins have allowed the players to build up a strong sense of self-confidence.
Although the score is not in their favor now, the players are not in a hurry.
Seeing the stability of the players, not the impatience and frustration.
Bosque on the sidelines breathed a sigh of relief, he was still worried just now, conceding the ball so early, whether it would affect the state of the players.
Now it seems that I am overthinking!
Brazilians, let you be proud for a while, and then let you know the power of passing football.
……
After the restart, Spain did not rush to attack.
Instead, he kept the ball firmly at his feet and patiently looked for opportunities.
Naturally, the Brazilians could not allow them to control the ball so recklessly, and if they could not snatch the football from their feet, Brazil would not be able to attack.
As a result, Brazil, including the two midfielders, put in six men to participate in the press in an attempt to break down Spain's possession tactics.
This level of pressing is not much pressure for Spain, and the chemistry between their players is very high.
The football passed back and forth between the Spanish players at a breakneck speed, and the Brazilian players on the opposite side grabbed it for a long time without even touching the football.
The opponent's passing ability is simply terrifying.
After Spain picked up the tempo of the game, the Brazilian players were a little out of the game.
Is this the power of top-level pass-and-control football?
The players on the pitch and the Brazilian fans at the scene felt the pressure brought by Spain's passing tactics at this moment.
Their players are very aggressive, even at the expense of physical strength.
But their scramble was seldom successful, and almost all of them were useless.
Football is still at the feet of the Spaniards, and the tempo of the game is firmly in the hands of Spain.
In the process of such a high-speed transmission of football, the Brazilian team's defense was gradually torn apart.
In the 15th minute of the game, Lin Quan took the ball in front, he dribbled horizontally to the right side, attracted defenders to come, and passed the ball back to Xavi in the back.
Xavi passed the ball to Andres Iniesta on the left without stopping.
Andres Iniesta crosses the left side of the box and hands it to left winger Pedro.
Pedro reversed the triangle and passed back to Lin Quan, who appeared at the front of the penalty area, and Lin Quan continued to pass through to David Silva on the right.
Spain's first few passes were played very quickly, and the Brazilian defenders were clearly out of pace.
When Lin Quan passed to David Silva, who had no defender around him, he got a chance to score a single goal.
Brazil's goalkeeper Cesar's scalp is numb, the opponent's pass is too fast, if he is not the goalkeeper, he is afraid that he will also be mobilized by the opponent's pass and run around.
At this time, he couldn't count on his teammates, so he could only pounce on David Silva.
The Brazilian defenders on the left and right also rushed towards him like crazy, trying to sabotage his shot.
Surprisingly, David Silva did not choose to hit the goal directly, but continued to pass the ball back to Lin Quan, who entered the penalty area.
Lin Quan received the ball near the penalty spot, and the person in the empty position at this time became himself.
Not to mention that there are no defenders around him, and even the goal in front of him is empty.
So, Lin Quan took advantage of the situation and easily hit the ball into the empty goal.
The score on the field was rewritten to 1:1!
It took only 14 minutes for Spain to equalise.
And unlike the Brazilians' goals with luck elements, Spain's goal this time was completely crushed by hard power.
Before the goal, they made six consecutive one-kick passes, which had completely torn apart the Brazilian defence.
Even if it wasn't Lin Quan who hit the goal in the end, even if it was an eighty-year-old grandmother, she could easily score the ball.
In front of them, it was as if the Brazilian players couldn't play anymore, a bunch of people were running around chasing the ball like headless flies, and the entire defence was full of holes.
It can be said that this goal played the dominance of the world champion and let the world know how strong Spain's pass-and-control football can be!
