Chapter 31: Barbie's Sungod Team
On September 8, the 15th round of the 1996 A-League was held as scheduled. Guangzhou Sun God home and Guangzhou Songri Yangcheng derby tickets are hard to find. In the previous two rounds of the game, the Songri team turned over, successively defeated Guangdong Hongyuan and Beijing Guoan, two strong opponents, and even surpassed the Shenzhen FIYTA team with three old immortals in the four teams in Guangdong. So it's not difficult to understand how high the mentality of Matsuri fans is now, 60,000 seats, Matsunichi fans snatched 21,000 tickets, it can be said that basically if you don't come to watch the game with the established fan association, then the person sitting next to you who speaks the same authentic Cantonese as you is really not necessarily a comrade in the trench, and the security pressure of this game is also unprecedentedly huge.
At 7:30 p.m., the referee blew the whistle and the visiting Matsuri team kicked off first.2 minutes later, the Matsuri team completed the first attack after a long-range shot by Balderrama. Although the ball was a bit outrageously high, it even flew into the stands behind the goal, but it also ignited the enthusiasm of the Matsuri fans at the scene. The Golden Retriever Lion King retreated and raised his arms at the same time to signal the fans to cheer up more.
In the next seven or eight minutes, most of the time the ball is controlled at the feet of the Sun God, before the game, Coach Xie Zhiguang specifically told the players not to rush the ball, since the team's ultimate goal is the league championship, then the first task of each game is not to play a fatal attack, but to do our best to do a good job in every defense. In Lao Xie's words: "One goal is enough to kill the game, but it's all built on iron-blooded defense." The old man's words are quite a bit of a 1:0 idea, and it is estimated that if Gullit hears it from the sexy football, he will definitely scold the old man angrily for tarnishing the art of football.
In fact, this matter has a history, when the AC Milan Dutch Three Musketeers led by Gullit were invincible in Serie A, and the opponents were all terrified. The Dutchman was happy playing his sexy football in Milan, when the team changed coaches in the 91-92 season, and the attacking coach Saki was gone, and he was succeeded by Capello, who believed in 1:0 pragmatism. The coach swept away the three musketeers in his second season at Milan, the 92-93 season, and of course Basten was due to injury. Gullit has repeatedly slammed Capello for his conservatism in front of the media, saying that he is tarnishing Milan's artistic football. But Capello has won the domestic league championship 4 times in 5 years since he took over AC Milan, and he can't hold his head up against his rival Juventus, let alone Inter Milan, the rival in the same city.
It is said that Chinese fans began to contact Serie A in the 90s, why there are so many fans of AC Milan, it is not difficult to understand, the results of the league in 10 years 5 championships, in addition to the Champions League, Toyota Cup, Super Cup, etc. The lineup at that time Milan was right in four words, star-studded. After the departure of the Dutch Three Musketeers, Milan formed a new squad in the following years, such as Savicevic, Costacuta, Maldini, Baresi, Boban, Savicevic, Giorgio Weah, Roberto Baggio, etc. For these names, everyone has long been treasured.
After Gullit was swept away by Capello, in the 1994 Champions League final, the spokesperson of Dutch offensive football, Gullit's idol Cruyff led the Barcelona team to meet AC Milan under the leadership of Capello in the Champions League final. Cruyff himself accepted the defeat quite gentlemanly, but this made it difficult for Gullit to accept, and naturally he scolded the old card in the media.
So there are some similarities between this ball and the Champions League final two years ago. Back on the playing field, the first half had already reached the 38th minute, and the teenager's tactics made the Matsuhi midfielder very uncomfortable. Gattuso also really listened to the young man's words, so he almost held hands with Brolin to the end of the white head. Xie Yuxin's point in the front court is obviously difficult to support, just let Balak reasonably collide twice. No matter how good Balderrama is, it is impossible to finish the man from the midfield position, after all, he is not Maradona. Then it is naturally difficult for Vialli on the front line to get effective support from his teammates, and in nearly 40 minutes, the Juventus titan only had two shots on goal, and he took the initiative to retreat to ask for the ball before he got those two shots.
The form on the field is very unfriendly to the Matsuri team at present, after all, it is still a question whether such a high-intensity confrontation of the lion king, who was born in 61, can last until the end of the game.
In the 43rd minute of the first half, Gattuso found that the Swedish little fat man Brolin had withdrawn to the position of the back to take the ball to organize the attack, but Balderrama mentioned the position of the forward midfield, so he put the defensive attention on the old lion king. Next, the Matsuri team distributed the ball to the side, Xie Yuxin immediately went up to respond, took the ball and turned around, and passed the ball to Balderrama in front of the penalty area from between Xie Feng Gattuso and Li Wei. Ballack hurried up to fill in the position, but the old lion king missed his foot, and then ran past Ballack without the ball, and it was Vialli on the front line who got the ball. Lee Byrne, who was in the middle of the three central defenders, could only cling to Vialli to prevent him from turning. Vialli kicked the ball back to the Lions, turned and ran into the box, where Valderrama raised his right foot to pass. Because Vialli was walking inside from the teenager's body, there was no chance to create an offside position, and the teenager also turned around to defend Vialli. What I didn't expect was that the Colombian Lion King made a half-high ball with the outside instep of his right foot, which was not for Vialli at all!
Seeing the ball flying behind Huang Qineng, the uncomfortable thing is that this kind of semi-high ball is difficult for tall players to handle, and you can't reach it with your head and feet, so you can't block it with your hands. Although there will be no penalty kick outside the penalty area, but he can't run away with a red card to get a box lunch, just such a hesitation, the ball passed through Huang Qineng, and at this time a little fat man entered the penalty area. It's Thomas. Brolin!
The harmless appearance of the little fat man in Sweden is really too tricky! Just swapped places with Balderrama, and one didn't pay attention, and he ran out of the opportunity. You don't have to look at the ball at all, in the boy's native dialect, it's a word – go to the ball. Of course, in the face of international friends, the teenager still spoke very elegantly, and the moment Brolin got up and shot the goal, the voice of the teenager next to him was: "It's over, Barbie Q'er.."
0:1, the Suns were choked by the Swedish assassin Brolin at the end of the first half. At this moment, the Tianhe Sports Center also fell, and it was the flag of Songri that was floating and the song of Songri was ringing.
There was really no way to do it, and if it weren't for Brolin's sudden retreat, conceding a goal would have been almost impossible according to the previous style of play. So from the very beginning, the boy identified the most dangerous character of the other party as Brolin, not the old lion king and the old monk Vialli. This little fat man is really scary, and in the 1994 World Cup, he single-handedly brought Sweden to the semi-finals, losing by only 1 goal to the later champion Brazil. Although he has good skills, wide vision, and accurate passing, he is a little chubby, but his strongest point is that as the engine of the team, he doesn't stick to the ball at all! When you get out of the ball, you run into the open space, you stick it up and he passes the ball out again, and then he runs again. It's really a way of playing that gives defenders a headache. The problem is that if you focus all your attention on him, then be prepared to die. Next is bound to be a kick over the top ball with positioning and navigation flying directly to the striker's feet. Strong, really strong! In addition, this product is a technical player and has a good defense, which makes people speechless.
It seems that this problem must be solved at half-time, otherwise we will have to concede a goal in the second half. After all, compared to the creativity of the midfield, the combination of Brolin and Balderrama is a complete combination of Ballack and Gattuso. Gattuso is a ball-grabbing machine, what does Ballack say. The author has been a fan of old Germany since Germany won the World Cup in 90, but to tell the truth, midfielders like Ballack and Piggy Schweinsteiger are all players who run tactics, above the level of personal ability, as a back midfielder has a long-range shot, but the breakthrough ability and creativity are a little worse. This is also why the offensive engine of the German team has always been 272 during the same period, including the later Kroos. It's a very simple question, the midfielder position, give you a Magic Flute and Kroos 2 choose 1, Ballack and Gerrard 2 choose 1, it goes without saying who to choose. There is even a saying that Beckham plays in the back in the late stage I think is better than Piggy.
Getting back to the point, plus the injury time in the first half, the last 5 minutes of the Sun God did not organize an effective attack, and the opponent did not ask to hit you again with this little time, I just defended it, and I could drag it for a while when I took the ball, and I saw that there was no chance to kick near your bottom line. Playing like this, the Matsuri team successfully completed the task of the first half. Went into halftime with a score of 1:0.
The Sun God is also here, as soon as he returned to the locker room, while everyone was still replenishing water, the teenager couldn't wait to push the tactical board out, and together with Coach Xie Zhiguang, he began to study the strategy of breaking the game in the second half. One of the most crucial points is how to lock up the opponent's big killer weapon – Thomas. Brolin
The boy wondered at this time what price the Matsuri team spent to invite this buddy, Chubby is not one of those who came to support the elderly, the Swedish kid born in 69 is only 27 years old, and you expect to spend as much energy and exhaustion as Gullitt when he played Feiyada, they are unrealistic. I didn't look at the World Cup, and people were not tired of playing the whole game like a yellow whirlwind.
Suddenly, Peng Jingbo, who had participated in gambling before, stood up, and the squirming appearance of having something to say but not knowing how to say it made the boy anxious, and kicked Peng's ass, and the boy jokingly said: "There is something to say, there is a fart." Who knew that this kick really kicked his ass out, and Barack couldn't help but spray Trezeguet next to him with water on his face. Hey, don't say it, he doesn't squirm when this fart comes out: "I think it's too difficult for that little fat man to prevent death if he defends alone, even if the bandit (Gattuso) loses the first half."
Hearing the translator's relay, Gattuso was not happy, and motioned that the ball was targeting Balderrama, and then gestured to kick Peng Jingbo's ass, but the boy quickly stopped him, said don't make trouble, and then encouraged Peng to continue. Peng Jingbo also let go and said boldly: "Actually, I watched some basketball games before, and they would use a collective area defense method when they couldn't keep an eye on people, that is, everyone was responsible for defending in a certain area, so that the defenders didn't have to follow the opposing offensive players to get tired. I thought that since one person couldn't guard him, then he would just run to whoever he went to, and he would be replaced by someone to guard him."
The boy and Director Xie glanced at each other, but they didn't expect this kid to say the truth, and it seems that this is the best way at present. Abandon the mark-to-man defense and switch to zone defense to strengthen the co-defense. If necessary, the foul should be timely and not give the opponent a chance to counterattack. As for the offensive aspect, while the middle ensures control, the proportion of the two wings involved in the attack has increased, and the central Trezeguet is also a strong point, and he is not afraid of not creating opportunities.
The time of the break passed quickly and the two sides returned to the field one after another. The boy caught a glimpse of the three foreign players of his team getting together and didn't know what they were muttering, but he didn't have time to gossip at this time, so he asked them again after the game.
When he returned to the field and waited for kickoff, the boy looked at the opponent's No. 11 little fat man, and secretly said to himself in his heart: "No matter where you are, I will get three points in this game today!"
"Toot", the second half began.
