Chapter 300 Five Star Brazil!
"This is CCTV, which is broadcasting the first match of the 2014 Brazil World Cup quarter-final between the host Brazil team and our Chinese team!"
"The last time the two teams played was at the World Cup in Japan and South Korea 12 years ago. It was the first time that the Chinese team reached the World Cup and encountered the powerful Brazil team at that time! But now, history seems to repeat itself, and the Chinese team is the first in the World Cup. It's time to reach the World Cup finals, and Brazil will become China's opponent!"
Duan Xuan was speaking the opening remarks, but he was extremely nervous.
With the World Cup entering the finals, every Chinese fan has become extremely sensitive.
This is the first World Cup quarter-final for the Chinese team. They don’t expect the Chinese team to go far, but at least they have to play enough style.
The atmosphere is not particularly favorable for the Chinese team, Brazil is the host, so to speak, there are enemies everywhere.
And the starting lineup of both sides also appeared on the big screen.
Team China (4-3-3):
Goalkeeper: Tong Lei.
Defenders: Zhuozhuo, Gao Leiliang, Liu Kairui, Guan Zhe.
Midfielder: Yu Hao, Le Kai, Guo Liang.
Forwards: Chen Slow, Wang Yi, Jia Zhenhua.
Brazil (4-2-1-2-1):
Goalkeeper: Cesar.
Defenders: Alves, Thiago Silva, David Luiz, Marcelo.
Midfielders: Fernandinho, Oscar, Gustavo.
Forwards: Hulk, Fred, Neymar.
The main highlight of this Brazilian team is the word "hard".
Defenders are tough, midfielders are tough, strikers are tough!
The overall style does not seem to be like the Brazilian team of the Samba Corps, but to move closer to the European standard team.
From the perspective of the overall lineup, the back line is the biggest highlight. Although many people focus on Neymar, who is also very strong, the Brazilian team's offense is more comprehensive.
Two full-backs with speed and skill that can move forward at any time.
Marcelo scored an own goal in the first game, but his performance after that was still very good.
In terms of midfield, Brazilian players already have solid footing ability, sufficient technical level, and the strength of Oscar and Fernandinho who have been transformed are also sufficient.
On the front line, Hulk and Neymar's two flanks are extremely threatening.
There is also a rare standing striker Fred in Brazil.
It can be said that this Brazilian team has broken the traditional way of playing and is closer to modern football.
On the other hand, the Chinese team is not as good as the Brazilian team in every aspect, and under detailed analysis, there is no chance of winning.
Of course, the game is not about light ratio data, the specific performance is the key.
Under the sun, players from both sides began to enter the arena one after another.
This also caused the fans at the scene to burst into the most enthusiastic cheers.
Two days after the truce, the opening game of the World Cup finals began.
is still the part of singing the national anthem. Both sides showed the momentum of 10,000 people singing, and the atmosphere gradually became warmer.
The captains of both sides finished guessing, and the Chinese team took the initiative to walk over to shake hands.
The two sides just shook hands without any communication.
The handshake session is over, from their respective halves, waiting for the start of the game.
Lucky stepped on the lawn, a little soft.
Compared to this soft lawn, he prefers a lawn with a higher hardness, so that he can really feel the transmission of power.
The Chinese players are all looking forward to the start of the game.
The Brazilian players are more relaxed. Although there is no whispering, they are more relaxed in expression.
Brazil took the lead and Fred walked into the center circle.
The two sides are ready to fight.
The Chinese team chose a 4-3-3 formation.
Actually, they can put a bus in this game.
But Liu Hongbo finally gave up the idea.
The strength gap between the two sides is too great, no one thinks they can beat the Brazil team, so does Liu Hongbo.
Even if he racked his brains, he couldn't come up with a way to play against Brazil.
And after qualifying from the group stage, their performance was also recognized.
Losing to Brazil is not unacceptable.
Instead of putting up an ugly bus on this stage, it is better to let the players enjoy what may be the 'last' game to the fullest.
Since the whole group stage, except for the first game, the Chinese team has been very frustrated.
Placing a bus is not a glorious thing.
Despite winning, honestly, winning is not pretty enough.
Therefore, coach Liu Hongbo almost let himself go in this game, letting the players develop their individuality and giving them more offensive opportunities instead of blindly defending.
And this tactic has also won the support of Chinese players!
Obviously, if possible, they don't want to put on a bus and play a game that's just a beating!
In the arena, all Chinese players' eyes were on the ball in the middle circle.
Waiting for Fred to kick off.
The referee withdrew from the middle circle and sounded a sharp and long whistle.
"This is CCTV."
"Sky Sports."
"German TV One."
The commentary stations of various countries began to make opening remarks.
But they didn't speak for too long. After the game started, the Chinese team's forwards suddenly rushed to the opponent's half.
Wang Yi, Chen Slow, and Jia Zhenhua pressed frantically in the opponent's half.
Guo Liang and Yu Hao also pressed slightly forward to protect them.
Lekai's position was slightly withdrawn, and he was in a position to receive at any time.
After the opening, the Chinese team pressed high.
The choice of the Chinese team surprised everyone but also excited.
Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray was even more pleasantly surprised; "Wow! The Chinese team did not choose the previous bus strategy, they want to play more actively, there is no doubt that this kind of play will increase the viewing of the game. !"
Compared to the bus tactics of unilaterally beating and procrastinating.
This tactic of combining high-level pressing and seizing the initiative undoubtedly belongs to the category of head-to-head.
For fans watching this game, they naturally tend to have a good game.
Therefore, after seeing the Chinese team take the initiative, the fans are also bright.
They don't think this game will be so dull!
Wang Yi, Chen Man and Jia Zhenhua frantically mixed up in the opponent's half, exerting enormous pressure from the very beginning of the game.
But the Brazilian players are very good at their feet, so they can stabilize this pressing pressure.
However, when the ball was passed to Oscar's position, the Chinese team completed a beautiful coordinated defense.
Wang Yi, who retreated, formed an encircling formation with Chen Man and Guo Liang who pressed forward, and instantly blocked Oscar in the middle.
Oscar was also taken aback by this sudden change.
It was a bit like when he was at Chelsea, he wanted to protect the ball as much as possible and wait for support.
But the three Chinese players will not make him wish.
"Go to hell!"
Chen Slow slammed into Oscar. Although the tonnage of the two bodies was not the same property, Chen Slow still used the strength of his whole body to smash Oscar into a staggering way.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Guo Liang picked up the ball under the opponent's feet and completed the steal.
"Guo Liang! I grabbed it!" Duan Xuan said in surprise.
After Guo Liang grabbed the ball, the Brazilian team also wanted to quickly counterattack.
There is no short pass path, Guo Liang directly chooses a wide range of transfers.
The ball flew high and flew towards Yu Hao on the other side.
Hulk rushed towards Yu Hao at high speed.
Yu Hao saw Hulk from the corner of his eye, but he didn't choose to dodge, but took the initiative to run towards the ball.
Yu Hao is a rare technical player in the Chinese team. His physical strength is not good, but his foot skills are very good.
Yu Hao looked at the falling ball, raised his right foot, and the arch of his foot pressed down slightly when the ball touched the ground.
The ball touches the arch of the foot and rolls in the direction of the own half.
And Yu Hao also took advantage of the situation to distance himself, and did not give Hulk any chance to counterattack on the spot.
After confirming safety, Yu Hao gave the ball to Lucky.
Lucky stopped the ball steadily and looked up.
At this moment, Chinese players, fans and even commentators couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
For some reason, as long as the ball is under Lucky's feet, they feel very safe.
Le Kai did not rush forward, but passed the ball back to Liu Kairui.
Immediately moved towards the backcourt, ready to catch the ball.
Fred wanted to press, but Liu Kairui directly passed the ball to Lucky.
Fred rushed to Luckey again, and Luckey used a touch to pass the ball to Zhuoyue.
Excellence was passed to Guo Liang again, and Guo Liang knocked horizontally to Lucky again.
The Chinese team gradually stabilized the situation after a few simple downfalls.
