Chapter 185 Lessons From the Past?

Latest website: "Is the Chinese team making this adjustment to continue attacking in the remaining time? Have they forgotten how they were eliminated by the Dutch team four years ago?"

When the Chinese team made adjustments, the Brazilian team's assistant coach Cavill raised this question. He couldn't quite understand the gambler's mentality of the Chinese team.

Head coach Pedro Garcia said: "Isn't that just right? I was worried that they would retreat after equalizing the score and drag the game to overtime. We originally wanted to attack, but now the Chinese team also attacked, behind them There will definitely be a lot of space and this is our chance!”

While the Chinese team was celebrating wildly, Garcia had already made adjustments.

He didn't just stand on the sidelines waiting for the game to restart for several minutes before coming to his senses.

Facing the inexperienced host in this semi-final, Garcia really did not underestimate the opponent. He was fully prepared.

Not only did they consider the response to conceding goals in the game, but they also considered the possibility that the Chinese team would score more than one goal - after all, they have efficient shooters like Hu Lai. So far in this World Cup, the Chinese team has not scored just one goal. In ball games, at least two goals are scored in a single game.

Therefore, although the Chinese team does not want to score a goal, the Brazilian team will not be stunned by the Chinese team's goal.

After the kick-off that many Chinese fans expected, the scene of the Brazilian team being completely suppressed by the Chinese team did not appear.

The Brazilian team, which had possession of the ball, did not rush to attack.

After the kickoff, they were still playing in the backcourt just like they were before losing the ball.

After attracting the Chinese team players to press forward in a swarm, they suddenly increased their speed and played the football forward.

After Kabangka caught the ball, he quickly turned around. Before Ou Yangjin had time to get close to him, he pushed the football out and used his speed to eat Ou Yangjin alive!

Then the Chinese team encountered a defense line composed of Wang Guangwei, Cai Shuyi and Qin Qi at the front of the penalty area, and there was no good opportunity to pass or break through.

Kabangka was no longer in a hurry and slowed down again, waiting for his teammates to come up.

Even if the Chinese team returns to defense because of this, he is not in a hurry.

After Tonini came up, he passed the football to the latter.

Upon seeing this, the Brazilian commentator praised loudly: "Yes, that's it! Kabangka! Just be steady first. Now the morale of the Chinese team that just scored a goal is high. They hope that the pace of the game will be faster, because that will allow them to Take advantage of the chaos to score. We have technical and ball-control advantages, and we can completely use passing and controlling to suppress the Chinese team's offense!"

But just when everyone thought the Brazilian team was going to stabilize and regain control of the rhythm, Tonini suddenly shot a cold arrow from outside the penalty area!

When he suddenly took off, Xue Ming, who was guarding him, didn't even react. The football was already shot towards the Chinese team's goal!

"Tony's long shot—!"

Lin Zhiyuan jumped into the air and saved the football from the bottom line with one palm!

At this time, the exclamations in the stands started, as if there was a network delay...

"What a danger! Lin Zhiyuan's concentration is very concentrated!"

The Brazilian commentator cheered: "Tonini's long-range shot was very threatening. Although he did not score a goal, it also created a corner kick! Now it is our turn to continuously suppress the Chinese team after conceding the goal!"

He took this as a good sign.

Because after the Brazilian team scored before, the Chinese team also continuously besieged the Brazilian team's goal and won multiple corner kicks.

The performance of the Chinese team at that time proved that they quickly recovered from the blow of conceding the ball.

So does the current performance of the Brazilian team also prove that the Chinese team's goals did not hit them?

Chinese fans on the Internet who were originally opposed to Qin Lin’s substitution adjustment couldn’t help but complain:

"What am I talking about? Do you really think that the defending champion is a soft persimmon?"

"Alas! Qin Lin is still young! It's easy to get hot-blooded, and he can't control it freely!"

The TV broadcast seemed to have heard the fans' comments and gave Qin Lin a close-up shot.

The fifty-year-old "young" head coach of the Chinese team has white hair on his temples. Because of his serious expression, the vertical and horizontal ravines on his face are particularly obvious.

He stood on the sidelines, staring in the direction of the Chinese team's penalty area with a straight face.

Shen Lang, the commentator of Tengfei Video, saw this scene and said:

"Director Qin must be very nervous now, because he doesn't know whether his adjustments will have any effect. He is gambling. Of course, any adjustment has the nature of gambling. There is no foolproof tactical strategy in this world. There are always costs and risks. .

"I think Coach Qin's choice is correct. The Chinese team is no worse than Brazil, so why don't they think about continuing to attack after equalizing the score? We have the strength, really, audience friends! It's already 2034, don't still take the Look at this national team from the perspective of 2014. When facing strong enemies, you must dare to show your sword!"

While speaking, the Brazilian team took a corner kick. Qin Qi collided with Brazilian center back Cao in the air and pushed the football out at the same time.

"Good goal! Qin Qi's header to clear the ball!"

Outside the penalty area, Hulay and Gonsalves rushed to the landing point of the football at the same time. In the end, Hulay got stuck first with his accurate prediction of the landing point.

Gonsalves hit him from the side and tried to win the ball back.

Hu Lai, who was already protecting the football, howled miserably and was knocked to the ground.

The referee's whistle sounded and Gonsalves was called for a collision foul.

Gonsalves spread his hands to defend himself - he thought that when he bumped into Hu Lai, Hu Lai would not scream like that, as if he had broken his waist...

However, Gonsalves, who played for the Turin Bulls, obviously knew what kind of virtuous player Hulay was, so he just made a symbolic excuse and quickly retreated - because Hulay had already gotten up from the ground, ready to Quick free kick.

Unlike the Chinese team that continuously besieged the Brazilian team's penalty area after losing the ball, the Brazilian team's offensive after losing the ball ended here and the ball changed hands.

Now it's the Chinese team's turn to attack.

※※※

Although the position on the field is left midfielder, in fact, Xia Xiaoyu does not really stay on the left wing during the game.

When attacking, he will return to the center and act as an organizer.

Shi Wanqing went to the left rib and temporarily played as the left midfielder.

This was also the instruction Qin Lin gave him.

Xia Xiaoyu returns to the center and moves forward, pressing up like a midfielder who can organize attacks and shoot directly.

Now he's in front with the ball.

Beside him was Toni, guarding him.

Hu Lai pulled back from the front to meet him, still followed by Netolela.

But Xia Xiaoyu still passed the football to him.

The moment he passed the ball, he immediately pulled away laterally and created a passing angle.

However, Hu Lai did not pass the football to him, but gave it to Xue Ming who intervened.

Toni went to attack Xue Ming again, and Xue Ming passed the football behind him. Xia Xiaoyu accelerated forward and ran into the space to catch the ball.

At this time he was already facing the Brazilian team's back line!

Center back Amorim stepped forward to defend him.

The Chinese fans in the stands cheered loudly for him!

At the same time, Hu Lai, who was just pulled out, accelerated into the penalty area, looking for the space after Amorin stepped forward!

Another central defender, Kao, immediately moved laterally to cover the position.

Xia Xiaoyu sent the football forward, looking for Hu Lai who was running diagonally.

Neto Leila, who had been following him, took the risk of fouling and made a decisive tackle!

He successfully scooped the ball and destroyed it!

The football was shoveled into his left rib cage.

There, Chen Xingyi and Brazil's right back Gazal pounced on the football at the same time.

In the end, it was Chen Xingyi who took the lead and hit the football!

"Chen Xingyi! Shoot!"

The football made an arc and headed towards the back corner of the Brazilian team's goal!

Goalkeeper Lemos flew sideways but missed the ball!

The football passed around his fingers and hit the post!

"Ah!!!" He Feng held his head in regret and shouted, "Goalpost! Goalpost!! Oops!"

Chen Xingyi also held his head in his hands and stared at the goal with wide eyes in disbelief.

The cheers, exclamations and gasps in the entire stands were indistinguishable.

Both Chinese team fans and Brazilian fans felt like they had suffered a heavy blow in their hearts.

"Oh my God! Goalpost! Isn't this our home court?!" Han Shuyu couldn't help but complain.

The football hit the goalpost and missed the baseline, and the Chinese team's attack ended there.

※※※

"The two sides did not play conservatively, and in a short period of time there were attacks that threatened each other's goal! I think whether the Chinese team can reach the finals in this game, they have set a benchmark for Asian teams! This benchmark does not mean that No matter what their final result was, they had the courage to challenge the defending champion Brazil in the World Cup semi-finals! This courage is worth remembering forever!"

"The performance of both teams after conceding the goal was remarkable and worthy of praise! The Chinese team did not panic even after conceding two goals in three minutes. The Brazilian team quickly regained its momentum after being tied by the Chinese team and moved forward. The Chinese team attacked! The two teams joined forces to give us a wonderful semi-final!"

"I must say that although thirty-two years ago, the South Korean team became the first Asian team to reach the semi-finals of the World Cup, but that does not represent the highest level of Asian football! But today's game can! China The team relies on its own strength to compete with the Brazilian team!"

…

Neutral commentators from all over the world were impressed by the wonderful performance of the two teams and gave all kinds of praise without hesitation.

But for fans on both sides, this is not necessarily a good thing.

Because they were on a roller coaster in the last ten minutes of the game.

It's okay to sit once in a while for stimulation.

Who can bear it if the heart is always on a roller coaster?

The two sides were busy attacking each other, but the score remained unchanged.

Eighty minutes into the game, the score was still 2:2.

The Brazilian team made substitution adjustments, and Garcia replaced two people at the same time.

Lessinho, whose physical strength dropped significantly, was replaced by right midfielder Marquios, and midfielder Goncalves was replaced by central midfielder Rodrigo Gustavo.

After this adjustment, the Brazilian team's field formation changed from 4222 to 451. Gustavo and Netolera were in the center of the midfielder position, and Tonini went to the left, one on the left and one on the right with Marquios.

This arrangement will of course allow Netolera to have Gustavo in the middle when guarding Hulay, which poses a considerable risk.

But doing so can make the Brazilian team more threatening offensively.

"The Brazilian team has stepped up its attack, especially on the two wings. It is clear that the Brazilian team wants to end the battle in regular time!"

The adjustment of the Brazilian team made many Chinese fans very nervous.

As the game enters the final ten minutes, many people can't help but think of the World Cup quarter-finals four years ago.

The Chinese team almost dominated the Dutch team and felt like they were about to score a goal several times.

But in the end, the Dutch team counterattacked with a corner kick and was eliminated...

Now the Chinese team's choice is the same as before, except that the Brazilian team is not beaten by the Chinese team on the scene, but can still threaten the Chinese team's goal.

This makes some Chinese fans even more worried.

Their worries cannot be said to be "unfounded". After all, there are lessons learned four years ago.

That World Cup still made many Chinese fans unhappy.

After all, based on the team's performance at the time, everyone felt that the Chinese team could reach the semi-finals of the World Cup four years in advance.

As if to confirm the concerns of Chinese fans, Marquios, who had just been substituted, faced "left midfielder" Xia Xiaoyu and knocked him to the ground with a very simple bicycle pedal...

Marquios, who successfully broke through Xia Xiaoyu, dribbled the ball towards the Chinese team's penalty area.

Cai Shuyi came up to defend, and Marquios, who had more energy, used the ball to pass, and once again passed Cai Shuyi cleanly!

All the Chinese fans in the stands exclaimed, screamed, and booed in vain.

Cai Shuyi had been knocked down, and goalkeeper Lin Zhiyuan decisively abandoned the goal and rushed towards Marquios!

At this time Marquios only needs to pass the football to the center...

Kabangka and Lima in the middle are also running towards the goal with all their strength to respond.

But they are not easy, because everyone has a Chinese team player next to them...

"Danger!"

"careful!!"

He Feng and Li Qingqing exclaimed at the same time in the commentary box.

In front of the TV, the hearts of countless Chinese fans almost stopped!

As the audience screamed and screamed, Marquios swept the football across the center with his right foot!

He chose the most correct approach. This was a cross that could almost kill the Chinese team!

Kabangka opened his arms to maintain balance, turned his body slightly sideways, stuck Wang Guangwei behind him, and then kicked his feet!

Shoot!

But he didn't get to play football!

Because just when he made the above actions, Wang Guangwei had already risked a foul in the penalty area and shoveled out decisively!

He shoveled out from behind Kabangka and kicked the football away first!

And Kabangka's kick hit the calf of Wang Guangwei's tackle!

Kabangka, who lost his balance and fell to the ground, shouted and raised his arms high - he thought Wang Guangwei had knocked him down and wanted to earn a penalty kick for the team!

After Wang Guangwei saw the football rolling out of the baseline, he raised his arms and rolled on the ground with a painful expression...

"Kabonka - King! Good ball! Good ball! King takes the first kick, this is a key tackle!"

"King!! He took the risk of fouling and shoveled the football out! The alarm in front of the Chinese team's goal has been lifted!"

"Garcia's substitution had an immediate impact! After Marquios came up, he put huge pressure on the Chinese team's wing defense! This may be the closest the Chinese team has been to being eliminated!"

Commentators from all over the world were exclaiming, but He Feng had no time to cheer for his escape. He was more concerned about whether Wang Guangwei was injured.

"Wang Guangwei was kicked by Kabangka. He looks very painful! I hope it's not a serious problem..." He Feng's tone was full of worry and panic.

As the captain of the Chinese team, Wang Guangwei's importance to this team is self-evident.

If Wang Guangwei is really injured, then even if the Chinese team reaches the World Cup finals, it will not be able to compete with the winner of Argentina and Italy for the championship.

The Chinese commentator was worried about Wang Guangwei's injury, while the Brazilian commentator thought this should be a penalty kick: "Kabonka was tackled by Wang! A tackle from behind in the penalty area is a foul!"

But soon the slow motion was shown and he was slapped in the face - it was clear from the replay that Wang Guangwei tackled the football first. As for Kabangka's fall... it was because he kicked Wang Guangwei in the calf. On the ground, under the influence of inertia, he lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Faced with the hard facts, the Brazilian commentator could only sigh helplessly: "Oh, this ball... Wang's kick is really risky. If he had been a little later, he would have tackled Kabangka's foot..."

Then he got excited again: "But Marquios immediately threatened after coming on the field, which shows that Garcia's adjustment is right! If we keep playing like this, we will definitely beat the host country! Just like the Dutch team four years ago. !”

※※※

Because of Wang Guangwei's injury, this increasingly fierce game has temporarily come to a standstill.

In front of the TV, Jodi Carey turned to his father and asked: "Dad, do you think the Chinese team will be eliminated in the final game like it was four years ago?"

Maxi Carey shook his head: "It's hard to say. In the last period four years ago, we were actually beaten by the Chinese team. The Chinese team may have played too smoothly, so I didn't expect that we would complete the game in the end." A high-quality counterattack. The situation is different now. After Brazil’s adjustment, it actually has the upper hand on the scene..."

The son explained: "So you can't think of switching to the Brazilian team this time?"

Kaili glared at his son: "Don't interpret what I mean casually. Kabangka is a top player, and he is also very familiar with Hu. It is impossible not to know that for a team with Hu, they cannot relax until the last second." alert."

At this point, he saw that his son was still opening his mouth, so he continued without waiting for him to speak:

"Also, Jody, remember. When watching football games, don't preset the results too early. That will destroy the fun of watching the game. No matter who wins or loses in this game, you just need to watch. You are not China. Fans, or Brazilian fans, have a preconceived stance and you miss a lot of great moments."

Jodi Carey fell silent. He huddled on the sofa and retorted in his heart:

But I am a Hu fan, dad!
