Chapter 411: Chic and smart

Rossi remembers that when he was very young, the first jersey he bought was Argentina's River Plate.

That doesn't mean he's a River Plate fan.

It's that this jersey is relatively niche, and the repetition rate on the pitch is very low.

At that time, he wore this jersey and participated in the school's football match, where he finished second.

First place went to the next class of AC Milan.

This time, it was amazing that River Plate turned out to be an opponent.

As a powerhouse in South America, River Plate has a huge number of fans in the country and is a team to be reckoned with.

Flashy technique and dazzling passing, are their hallmarks.

In the game, the players are often able to play gorgeous and fluid attacks, and incredible ways of scoring goals, which are all manifestations of condensing technique and awareness.

Chic vs gorgeous.

This is the label that the media put on the final of the Club World Cup.

The fans are hoping for a good game from both sides.

On the day of the final, the Zayed Sports City Stadium was packed, and the two teams were still warming up in the stadium, and the shouts were endless.

For the star-studded Bayern Munich, more than half of the scene was their fans.

In contrast, the River Plate players are clearly much less famous.

In fact, South American football not only has flashy technology, but also the solid defense of Italian football, the passing penetration of Spanish football, and the practical and enterprising spirit of German football.

They have been sending good players to European teams, and players who are mainly characterized by shooting and dribbling are very popular.

After finishing the warm-up and returning to the locker room, after Heynckes had made the final mobilization, everyone gathered together to form a circle.

"With this win, we're six champions, and it's the result of everyone's hard work."

"We can enjoy the holiday."

“Mia san mia!”

“Mia san mia!”

“Mia san mia!”

After three loud shouts, the players walked out of the locker room with their heads held high.

Referee Jair Marufo, from the United States, officiated the game.

The captains of both sides came to the center circle to guess the coin, and Neuer lost the kick-off.

Drip!

After the whistle blew, the big and small kings on the Bayern front line quickly pressed the ball carrier.

Bayern, who rarely play against South American teams, started with tentative tactics to observe their opponents.

There were only two strikers who pressed and obviously couldn't stop River Plate's attack, and the ball quickly passed halfway.

In the face of Bayern's layers of defense, the frontcourt players of the River Plate team used skillful short pass coordination to penetrate layer by layer.

Since the players are all kicking the ball and passing it quickly, the attack can instantly hit Bayern's most threatening area.

Heynckes' defensive tactics are to let the players mark the position rather than the man.

River Plate's smaller players are fast and agile in their movements, and if they don't match their teammates when marking, they can easily be quickly penetrated by opponents.

And they are also very good at using two-one-one combinations to tear apart the opponent's defense.

In the 5th minute, River Plate used a quick pass to play into the Bayern penalty area, and De La Cruz returned to the middle of the bottom line.

Teenager Alvarez flanked Vidal's defence in the middle after breaking free from Vidal's defence.

Hummels took the lead and shoveled the ball off the touchline.

From this attack, you can see the offensive tactics of the River Plate team.

Use the passing cooperation of the midfield group, combined with the goal-grabbing shot.

This tactic is very suitable for the technical characteristics of the South American players.

Moreover, Bayern did not dare to pile up too many troops on one side to block the opponent's passing space.

Once the ball is shifted to the weak side by the opponent, their players can use their dribbling skills to create a threat.

After the first five minutes of probing, Heynckes slowly walked to the sideline and waved his right hand.

The Bayern players began to press forward with a sharp mind, and the central midfield began to press.

In this game, Heynckes used a balanced 4-4-2 to keep the lines tight.

After stepping up their pressing in the midfield, River Plate's players were able to pass the ball easily in their own half, nearby.

Once you cross the middle circle, it becomes a little difficult to pass from one to another.

Unable to make an effective pass, the River Plate players have no choice but to pass the ball back and look for another opportunity.

The tactical play of both sides gives fans a strange illusion.

The ball was clearly controlled at the feet of the River Plate players, but they just couldn't penetrate smoothly.

Moreover, Rossi and Lewandowski are only the lone midfielders who oppress the opponent, Suculini, and they don't care about the fullbacks on either side at all.

This gives the two centre-backs more room to get the ball forward.

When the midfield's short pass penetration was unfavorable, River Plate used the central defender's forward attack to find space to attack.

In the 8th minute, River Plate captain Lucas Martinez launched a long pass from the back to hit directly behind the Bayern defence.

But the cross was disrupted by a retreating Hummel scramble.

River Plate continued to try several offensive methods, but they were all intercepted one by one.

River Plate head coach Gallardo stood on the sidelines, gnawing his fingers as he watched the game.

From the 5th minute, the team did not have smooth transmission and penetration, and even he felt very uncomfortable watching the game from the sidelines.

Soon, he discovered the old spiciness of the opponent's manager.

Bayern kept the two lines of defense very tight between the central and backfield, invisibly compressing the passing space of the players in front of River Plate.

And Rossi and Lewandowski tightly blocked the pivot of the single back, completely severing the connection between the midfielders in River Plate.

There was only two wings left for River Plate's attack.

But Heynckes was on the flanks, with two wing-backs, Retona and Muller.

Their role is not to assault, but to adduct defense.

In this way, the defense in the middle can be tighter.

The two can also support the wings very quickly.

Hiss~

Gallardo's heart straightened.

Bayern's tactical arrangement is an obvious defensive counterattack.

Unlike the fish belly team, which retracted the defense in front of the big penalty area, Bayern's back line pressed higher and compressed River Plate's passing space.

Even if it's defense, it seems so active and advanced.

Bayern is a European powerhouse.

In order to have space to pass the ball, midfielder Sucullini and central midfielder Mayada retreated to the back line to increase the number of points at the back.

As soon as the two midfielders moved, Bayern's formation moved with them.

In the 10th minute, River Plate's backfield formed a vacuum in the right rib area, and Mayada easily took the ball in this area.

Thiago stripped away from the midfield defence and stepped forward to interfere.

River Plate midfielder Sucullini immediately stepped forward to receive the ball and then pass it to forward midfielder Palacios.

With the depth of space, the relay of the River Plate team began to be flexible again.

When Alvarez saw his team-mate on the ball, he immediately stepped forward into the gap between the central defenders.

Bang!

Palacios pinpointed the ball past.

Boateng, who was chasing back faster, kept clinging to Alvarez.

The youngster was a little unstable under his physical confrontation, but fortunately kept the ball at his feet.

But Alvarez, who was not physically dominant, was constantly squeezed out by Boateng and gradually lost space to shoot.

Just as he pulled the ball back, Boateng took a step faster and poked the ball away.

Vidal cleared the ball and distributed it to Retona on the wing.

The latter sent a behind-the-back shot after getting past a defender on the wing.

Rossi cut in diagonally and used his speed to leave the centre-back behind him to form a single knife.

He stepped forward so fast that the River Plate centre-backs suspected him of offside and immediately raised their hands.

Rossi ran into the penalty area, faced the attacking goalkeeper, kicked the ground with his left foot, leaned his body to the left, arched his right foot, and quickly pushed into the far corner.

The tilt of the body is to open up the body and thus get more space to shoot.

Immediately the waves rolled in the goal.

【GOAL!!!!!!! 】

[The ball is in!] 】

【Wonderful pushing!】 】

[This push can be written into a textbook!] 】

[If you want to improve the striker of the single stroke, you should learn it! ] 】

[Super high body coordination and toughness, making Rossi's push more flexible and freehand, without losing the sense of beauty!] 】

[The word chic is simply deep in the bone marrow! ] 】
