Chapter 570 Intermission

In the Brazil locker room.

"We have to change our tactics. In the second half, we will no longer execute high-position presses. Let them pass the midfield and we will defend in front of the penalty area." Dunga set the tone as soon as he opened his mouth.

He didn't comment on the players' performances, or even praise Ricardo's goals. There was no time, the half-time break was very short, and the whole tactics of the team had to change, and he had to seize every minute.

The tactical board is full of lines, the level of defense, the route of supplementary defense, the route of attack, and the route of counterattack, all marked out.

By the time he finished speaking, the intermission was almost over.

At this time, Dunga took the time to comment a few words.

"Everyone did a good job in the first half. I am very satisfied with the current score. But I am not satisfied with the process of the game. Our positional battle was not played out."

"Many of you played in the final of the World Cup four years ago and some of you played in the final of the World Cup eight years ago. I thought you would have more experience."

"This is the final, we have to be more efficient, and we also have to keep the ball at our feet for a longer period of time. You have done a good job in the past, but you didn't do that in today's game. In the second half, the opponent's physical fitness Their pressing will not be as fierce as in the first half, I hope you can improve the ball possession rate for me. When counterattacking, be firm. When attacking, be slow and play our Brazilian characteristics."

"Possession of the ball is Spain's biggest magic weapon, but you also saw the situation in the first half. They can pass the ball around, but it is difficult to directly threaten our defense. And our counterattack, as long as the quality is improved a little bit , is enough to decide the outcome of the game. Gentlemen, the Hercules Cup is just around the corner, and I believe we can bring it back to Brazil again. I believed so at the beginning of the game, and I believed it when we were one goal behind, I still believe it now."

"Then, go to the court now, use all your strength, and defeat the team that is threatening us, and let's bring the Hercules Cup back to Brazil!"

The players agreed with a bang and walked out of the locker room with their heads held high.

Dunga stopped Ricardo, and they stayed at the end.

"How is your physical condition?" There was a trace of worry in the corner of Dunga's eyes.

"I don't think there will be any problems." Ricardo replied easily. In fact, he felt very tired today. After the half-court kick, he felt that he could hardly run. He wasted too much energy in a frantic and futile pressing.

"It's my fault," the proud Dunga said with a rare bow. "My setup was wrong in the first half. I should thank you for pulling us back from the brink. But I still have to rely on you in the second half." , you and Kaka will be our sharpest weapons. In the second half, you should stop participating in the defense. I hope you will devote all your energy to the offense and break through their defense for me!"

"This is my duty on the court, and I can always fulfill my duty," Ricardo smiled, and said in a low voice, "Ronnie seems to have a little problem with his physical strength. His muscles are also in a little condition today. "

"I know." Dunga said helplessly. Ronaldo's physical condition is not optimistic. It is very likely that the Brazilian team will use up a substitution soon after the start of the second half.

In the player tunnel, they encountered Spanish players unexpectedly.

Ramos approached Ricardo, "Is your leg okay?"

"It's nothing serious," Licado shook his head, "Thank you for your concern."

"Our defense will be tougher in the second half, you have to be mentally prepared. I don't want you to get hurt,

But it's the final of the World Cup, you understand. We're all going to bet everything on it. "

"It's up to each other, I won't blame you, this is a war," Ricardo smiled, "and we will win this war. Even if I get hurt, it won't change that. Anyway, thank you Wake up, I'll be careful."

It seems that Spain will adopt killing tactics for itself in the second half.

But in fact, both sides had a lot of yellow cards in the first half. On the Spanish side, Ramos, Puyol, Pique and Busquets all had yellow cards. Does Spain have 10 mental preparations for the challenge?

In fact, when Dunga was laying out the tactics, Bosque said in the Spanish dressing room: "As long as Ricardo leaves, we can win even if we fight with ten men. No, I don't mean that you deliberately hurt him. , that's carnage not football. What I want you to do is, when you need to defend, don't worry about whether he will get hurt. He is the representative of beautiful football, but we want to win the World Cup. This is a war, and We cannot have mercy and hesitation at the center of war."

Ricardo didn't know what Bosque said, but he could guess a little bit.

He has nothing to say about this, he is the sharpest weapon in Brazil, and the opponent will naturally find a way to seal this weapon, which is easy to understand.

But, do you really have the consciousness to fight with 10 people?

I'm not that easy to get hurt... If you want to get me injured, you have to be prepared to get a red card or two...

At the beginning of the second half, Spain created a dangerous situation with a corner kick. Xavi's corner kick was snatched by Puyol, but Capdevila missed the kick.

And Ricardo is also eager to try.

The Brazilian team took control of the ball slowly. After hitting the frontcourt, they distributed the ball to the left. Ricardo took the ball deftly and cut inside. shot, was resolved by Casillas.

After entering the second half, it can be seen that the rhythm of both sides has slowed down a lot. The Brazilian team pursued more possession of the ball, gave up the high press, and deployed defense at the front of the penalty area. Although Spain still counter-grabs on the spot after losing the ball, they will quickly retreat if they miss the ball, and basically give up the high-position press.

It is often that the Brazilian team slowly organizes the ball and hits the front of the Spanish penalty area. After losing the ball, Spain fails to counterattack.

Each round of fighting takes several minutes.

Time passed slowly as the players on both sides kept turning the ball.

In the 55th minute, Brazil made the first substitution. Ronaldo off, Fabiano on.

In this World Cup, Fabiano has proved his threat in front of goal, he is a qualified substitute for Ronaldo.

The signal of this substitution showed the world that Dunga had no intention of dragging the game into overtime, and he wanted to resolve the battle within 90 minutes.

And Spain also quickly made a substitution, Navas replaced the goal hero Pedro.

These two substitutions suddenly accelerated the tempo on the field.
