Chapter 445: Victory Is Within Grasp

In the 32nd minute of the game, there was a change on the field that was not conducive to the Brazilian team. Josue fell to the ground after fighting with his opponent and did not get up again.

The referee blew his whistle to signal that the game was interrupted.

Argentinian players were dissatisfied with this, thinking that Josue was stalling for time. But after Brazil's team doctor took Josue off the field, Dunga quickly made a substitution decision and Alves came on.

He appeared in a position he was not very familiar with, the right midfielder.

Dunga did not change his tactics because of Josue's departure. Brazil still had to carry out the defensive counterattack to the end.

When 5-star Brazil puts down its body and wants to play defensive counterattack, there are really not many teams that can come up with a way to deal with it.

At least Argentina can't handle it.

In the next 10 minutes, Argentina only got 2 shooting opportunities. That happened in the 39th minute. Tevez took the ball in front of the penalty area and reluctantly turned around to shoot. The quality of the shot was not high. Brazilian goalkeeper Doni doubled. Punch the ball out. Riquelme intercepted the ball at the penalty area line and shot another shot. Doni flew over and hit the ball out of the baseline.

To say it was an opportunity, this attack was not really a good opportunity. Tevez's kick was actually very reluctant, but Riquelme's footwork was too good, so it threatened the Brazilian team's goal.

Apart from this attack, Argentina was helpless in the face of Brazil's intensive defense.

In the 43rd minute, Argentina got a free kick opportunity. Riquelme took the kick and kicked it into the wall. The Brazilian team counterattacked quickly. After two passes, the football came to Ricardo, with Veron behind him.

Ricardo followed the incoming ball and kicked the football past Veron, while he rushed over from the other side of Veron. A simple human ball passed by, but because his speed was too much faster than Veron , so he easily threw Veron away.

Argentinian central defender Ayala immediately came over to cover the defense. Ricardo grabbed the ball before Ayala arrived and stuffed the ball into space on the right.

Before the football flew out of the sideline, Alves rushed over, pushed the ball forward, and strode forward.

Near the baseline, he continued to cut inside. Before Heinze's defense was in place, he passed the ball to the center and passed a low ball.

Liccardo's movement was very reasonable. He got the ball before the defender and knocked it to Kaka.

Kaka raised his leg to shoot, and the two defensive players raised their legs to block at the same time, but Kaka changed his shot into a pass and passed the ball behind Zanetti.

Baptista rushed to the ball, and before the ball hit the ground, he shot with a blast. Abbondan Sheri tried his best to make moves, but still failed to touch the football.

"Baptista goalllll! Today the Brazilian team's goals are more exciting than the last!" the commentator Marcos roared, "Kaká's assist created this goal! Today we saw Kaka transformed into a superhero. , can pass, shoot, can do anything! God, with such a performance, he fully deserves the Ballon d'Or if it weren't for Ricardo."

Dunga was completely relieved. In his opinion, the game has entered garbage time early. The remaining suspense is whether Liccardo still has a chance to score and create a new goal record in the America's Cup.

"I will pass it on to you next time!" After raising his fingers to thank God, Kaka hugged Ricardo and said, "I will work hard to help you create a new record."

"I want the championship more than the record." Ricardo replied simply.

"By this time, the champion can no longer run away." Kaka said with a smile.

"It's not safe to lead by two goals. Let's score one more. Don't think about helping me break the record. Just give the ball to whoever is in a better position."

The final minutes of the first half ended in aimless backfooting by Argentina.

After entering the locker room, Dunga was very excited and his expression was calm.

"You did a great job in the first half and it reflected in the score," he said. "I hope this performance can continue and not slip until the final whistle."

"You adhered to my tactics in the first half and defended Riquelme and Messi very well according to my requirements. In the second half, you must continue to maintain close defense against them. They are the source of power for Argentina's offense. As long as you defend them Without them, this Argentina has nothing to fear."

"We must continue to resolutely play defensive counterattacks and give them the perimeter, as long as we do not give them opportunities to kick in the penalty area or in front of the penalty area."

"Delay for time when you have the chance. I don't care how much time it takes. The important thing is to make the Argentinians impatient and affect their emotions."

"Wagner, I hope you can defend more actively in the second half and just leave Ricardo alone in the frontcourt."

Dunga spoke very fast, and by the time he finished speaking, there was actually a lot of time left. He stopped talking and left the rest of the time to the players themselves.

The team doctor and substitute players were busy giving massages and relaxation to the main players, while the main players began to brag to each other.

The atmosphere is upbeat, but not too relaxed. Dunga was satisfied.

In the second half, the two sides changed places to fight again. Argentina obviously strengthened its offensive and threatened Brazil's goal through several free kicks. However, Brazil's goalkeeper Doni and the defensive players were very focused and did not miss anyone in the defense. Withstood the pressure.

Doni and Gilberto were given yellow cards for delaying the game, and the Brazilian players had to restrain themselves a little.

But it worked, and the Argentines became increasingly impatient.

This sentiment was also reflected in the behavior of the Argentinian players. When players from both sides had a physical confrontation and someone fell to the ground, the Argentinian did not think about taking a quick free kick, but had an altercation with the Brazilian player.

Marcos said disappointedly: "The Argentines are wasting their time. Maybe they also feel that they have lost hope in this game, and they are venting their emotions. This is not the behavior that professional players should do. Veron was in disbelief throughout the game. When arguing with his opponents, first with Baptista and now with Alves, as Argentina's core midfielder, he really shouldn't lose his cool."

Basile made decisive substitution adjustments. He replaced Veron and Cambiasso, who were the most anxious, and replaced Aimar and Kili Gonzalez to strengthen the attack.

The appearance of these two people made Argentina run a little smoother.

Soon Argentina got several chances. In the 63rd minute, Tevez moved the ball with his big foot on the right. Aimar got the ball from behind the penalty area, but his shot was blocked. Messi followed up with another kick, but it still hit the defender and bounced out. Tevez then shot again, but it was weak and was confiscated by Doni.

Soon Aimar broke through with the ball during the counterattack, and then passed the ball to Tevez on the right side of the penalty area. Tevez shot a long shot over the crossbar.

Dunga is smiling. The Argentinian attack couldn't penetrate at all, the thunder was loud and the raindrops were light.

The victory is certain.
