Chapter 565 We Are the Best
.. , the days when I played football with Da Luo
After Dunga finished asking, all three fell into deep thought.
"How do you deal with Barcelona?" Dunga added. "I remember one season, you killed Barcelona four times. When you were in Real Madrid, you basically had the upper hand against Barcelona. What's the trick?"
Kaka first smiled bitterly: "But last season we were double-killed by Barcelona."
"That's because Ricciardo and Ronnie left," Dunga said. "When the three of you got together, Barcelona didn't have the upper hand over you. At that time, how did you deal with Barcelona?"
"The season that killed Barcelona four times was the 2007-08 season," Ricardo said, "Messi is not yet mature enough. If you pay attention, sir, you will know that the 08-09 season and the 09-10 season after he grew up, We didn't take advantage of Barcelona."
Dunga smiled: "But Spain doesn't have Messi, so I don't have to worry about that."
Ricardo also smiled: "That's true."
He recalled for a while and said: "Actually, the arrangement you made is a bit different from yours, sir. When we played against Barcelona, we played more defensive counterattacks. We didn't take the initiative to go up and grab the ball. If the opponent wants to control the ball, let them control it. We seized the opportunity. Counterattacks are accurate. There are also arrangements similar to yours, sir, that is to seize the opportunity of set kicks."
"Let the opponent hold the ball?" Dunga frowned. "Our Brazilian team is used to having the ball at our feet, so it may not be suitable for defensive counterattacks."
"Barcelona's defensive speed is very fast. If you execute a high-position press and then control the ball after the steal, you will basically have no chance. Instead, put the battlefield in your own half and launch a counterattack with a long pass immediately after stealing the ball. , can play more threateningly." Ricardo expressed his opinion.
Dunga looked at Ronaldo again: "Ronnie, what do you think? What do you think is the key to suppressing Barcelona?"
Ronaldo touched his bald head, showed his rabbit teeth and said with a smile: "I don't know much about these things. I just execute tactics and don't think about them."
After a pause, he continued, "I personally think that we were able to win back then not because of how reasonable our tactics were, but because we were strong enough."
Ricardo echoed: "Actually, it's a solid defense, and then we use the individual abilities of the few of us to open up the situation."
Dunga was noncommittal.
Afterwards, he didn't talk about this topic anymore, he only said that the three of them should have a good rest, keep fit, pay attention to their diet tomorrow, chatted a little, and then let them go back to the room.
Licado and Kaka returned to the room, Kaka seemed a little worried.
Licado smiled and asked, "Are you worried too?"
Kaka sighed and said: "Yes. I was very confident at first. But seeing that Mr. Dunga seems to have no confidence, even I am not confident enough."
"Let me tell you," Ricardo looked at him and said word by word, "You don't need to worry about his coaching level, as long as you know one thing, the three of us together are invincible. Spain may be very powerful , but the three of us can beat them. We have beaten countless opponents, we have won the double, you should have some confidence in the combination of the three of us."
Kaka frowned a little at first, then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, the smile gradually widened, and finally his handsome face was full of smiles, as bright as the rising sun in autumn.
"Yes, we are the best. No matter who the opponent is, we can win!"
On the evening of July 11, Johannesburg, Soccer City Stadium.
The closing ceremony of the 2010 World Cup is underway.
The stands, which can accommodate more than 94,000 fans, were packed.
However, most of the fans were not in the mood to watch the grand closing ceremony, even when watching Shakira's singing, they were also absent-minded. Everyone's full attention is on the upcoming finals.
Spain and Brazil, is Spain taking back its first crown? Or did Brazil create the six-star myth?
However, it will be several hours before the ending is revealed.
The waiting time is not tormented. Some of the fans were excitedly taking selfies, while others chatted with strangers in the seats.
Among the fans, there are always endless topics to talk about. Who performed best in this competition? Who is the most pity? Who will be the key player in this game? Will there be any changes in tactics?
In the jubilant atmosphere, it was soon time for the game to start.
At 20:20 South African time, players from both sides began to enter the field.
Spain followed the semi-final lineup, goalkeeper Iker Casillas, defenders Ramos, Pique, Puyol, Capdevila. The three midfielders Busquets, Harvey Alonso and Harvey, Iniesta and Pedro fly on both wings, and Villa is ahead.
Until many years later, many fans still commented that this is the strongest Spain.
Casillas, Ramos and Pique are in their prime of life, Capdevila is also a very good left back, Puyol is still young; in the midfield there are two playmakers, Xavi and Xavi Alonso, On the bench is Fabregas, a young genius who has become famous; Busquets, who has a solid defense and a certain passing ability to intercept the midfielder; Iniesta and Pedro are the most energetic At that time, Villa was at his peak, and there was a sharp knife like Torres on the bench...
It can be said that each position has enough big names.
In contrast, the Brazilian team's lineup is actually much poorer. Apart from the big three of Ricardo, Kaka and Ronaldo, only Maicon, Lucio and Cesar belong to the ranks of world-class stars.
But having said that, having Ricardo, Kaka and Ronaldo means having everything, right?
In the live football game, players form their own teams. Some unknown players can be used in the middle and backcourt. As long as they save enough points to buy these three players in the frontcourt, they can open the door to victory.
Of course, reality is different than football.
However, in the eyes of fans and football critics, Brazil, which has a wealth of experience and an invincible trident, still has a higher winning percentage than Spain.
Spain's formation can be regarded as 433, while Brazil's formation today is 41.
The so-called 433 and 41 are actually not much different, the difference is that Harvey's position is further back, and he often retreats between the two midfielders to get the ball, while Kaka's position is a little more forward.
The Brazilian team's lineup has changed a little bit compared to the semi-finals. The goalkeeper is still Cesar, and Lucio returns in the defense. Maicon, Lucio, Thiago Silva and Bastos form the back Wire. The partners of the double defensive midfielders are still Baptista and Gilberto Silva, and the teenager Ramirez did not get the chance to start. In the final, Dunga obviously trusted the veteran more.
The front four remained unchanged.
After a series of ceremonies and picking sides, the Brazilian team kicked off.
The 2010 World Cup finals are officially underway.
