Chapter 253 A Last-Ditch Battle!

"From a strength analysis, the Brazilian players have better skills, but the Chinese team has the advantage in speed and height. Before the game, many media were optimistic about Brazil winning, but National Youth coach Krauchen said that the team will definitely create a lot for Brazil. In big trouble, the National Youth League can even win against Germany, they are not afraid of Brazil at all."

In the first few minutes, the Brazilian team was trying not to launch too fierce an attack on the Chinese team's frontcourt, and the national youth players also did a pretty good job in every position, almost man-to-man defense, otherwise the Brazilian team could easily get the ball. In front of the Chinese team's penalty area. Although the Brazilian's footwork is very delicate, at the beginning of the game, both sides had sufficient physical fitness and there were not too many holes in defense.

There is only one Dong Fangzhuo in the frontcourt for the time being, and the others are more involved in defense to ensure that the midfield is not completely controlled by Brazil.

But four minutes later, Brazil still used its superior personal skills to open a gap on the left. Brazilian captain Rafael stepped in. Tan Wangsong was overwhelmed and blocked the Brazilian winger, but was unable to block Rafael's cross.

Whoosh

Rafael's pass was quite bad. He didn't pass a high ball, but a half-high ball. When the ball reached the Chinese team's penalty area, it dropped instantly. The goal was not to let teammates in the penalty area fight for the header.

The forwards of the Brazilian team are not tall enough, the tallest one is only 1.8 meters, but he is not the main forward and sits on the bench.

The purpose of passing a half-high ball must be to cause chaos in the Chinese team's penalty area. Sure enough, the Chinese team's penalty area was in chaos. Zhao Xuri, who finally returned to defense, grabbed the spot and directly stepped out of the baseline with one kick!

Although the players of the Brazilian team are not as tall as the Chinese team, people in this country never rely on height when playing football. They play with skills at their feet. Just like this cross, they are not interested in drinking or competing with you. point……

Brazilian coach Reni probably also wants to use his foot skills to defeat China and let the Chinese see what foot skills are.

Zhao Xuri gave the Brazilian team a corner kick opportunity. Except for Dong Fangzhuo who retreated to the midline, all other teammates returned to defense, tightly blocking the Chinese team's penalty area inside and outside.

But Brazil's right corner kick went into the penalty area, and the Brazilian player actually grabbed the spot! It's not that they had an advantage in heading the ball, but that they used Leonardo, the tallest central defender in the Brazilian team, to push the ball to grab the point, attracting the Chinese team's high-point defense, and then took a tactical corner kick and took the ball. A low pass was passed to the left side of the penalty area. As a result, Brazilian midfielder Renato got the ball and volleyed it directly. The ball went over the crossbar.

"It was so dangerous. Although the ball was not scored, the Brazilian players were very cunning and their tactics were very covert. The Chinese team must strengthen the defense and protection of the perimeter and not allow the Brazilians to easily kick around the penalty area.

Huang Jianxiang exclaimed, he was frightened by Renato's shot just now.

"The best defense is naturally to keep the ball away from the penalty area, but it seems difficult to do so in this game. The players must work hard."

After escaping the disaster, the Chinese team did not immediately launch a fast break because they could not get up fast. The Brazilian players retreated very quickly, unlike the German players who retreated slowly.

If you retreat quickly, you will naturally not be able to counterattack quickly for the Chinese team. Then the Chinese team can only follow the rhythm of the Brazilian team, but possession of the ball is not what the Chinese team is good at. Over the years, it has become the national brand at every stage. in this way.

Within a few minutes, Raphael came up again. Hao Junmin, who was facing him, couldn't do anything to him because Raphael was too fast and difficult to guard against. Hao Junmin couldn't rush into the hinterland of Brazil, so it was natural for Rafael to come over and cause trouble.

But even so, neither he nor Tan Wangsong made any mistakes. The ball was passed to Rafael, but it was not out of position.

However, although the Chinese team's right-side attack was paralyzed, the left-side was still fine.

The Brazilians dominated their left wing, and the Chinese team also dominated their own. Mao Jianqing's speed is the sharp sword of the Chinese team. Brazilian midfielder Roberto did not dare to rush too far because he was afraid that Mao Jianqing would rush forward. He was quite afraid of Mao Jianqing's speed.

At this time, after a wave of attacks by the Brazilian team, Chen Tao finally passed the ball before Emandro blocked it.

Swish

Chen Tao's pass was very accurate and directly penetrated the Brazilian team's defense on the right. Behind Mao Jianqing, Roberto failed to follow up. Instead, Mao Jianqing passed Ed Carlos's defense.

Mao Jianqing's speed was clearly demonstrated at this moment.

Dong Fangzhuo and Mao Jianqing in the middle knew each other well and rushed into the Brazilian team's penalty area, but Leonardo of Gundam always stood in front of him, preventing Dong Fangzhuo from gaining even a slight advantage, not to mention that there was a man behind Dong Fangzhuo. Santos was pestering him.

Mao Jianqing swept the ball directly to the center, but Dong Fangzhuo still missed the ball.

The Brazilian center back defended very well.

"Xiao Dong had no chance at all with this ball. The Brazilian defender was already prepared. Although Mao Jianqing broke through the wing, Brazil in the middle was too stable."

After this opportunity was missed, the rhythm was controlled by the Brazilian team again.

Brazil has an absolute advantage in possession time, and the Chinese team can only rely on limited counterattacks to threaten Brazil.

The Brazilians played very patiently and were not in a hurry to pass the ball to the front. For several minutes, the scene was a bit dull. They were used to the aggressive attack in the previous game, and now the Chinese fans were a little uncomfortable with it.

Many times, Brazilian players clearly passed the ball in front of the Chinese team's penalty area, but when they saw that the Chinese team's defense was too dense, they passed the ball back and dropped the ball again...

"I think everyone doesn't want to see such a scene, but there is no way. It's not that Chen Tao and the others don't want to attack, but the ball is not at their feet. Don't look at the Brazilians taking their time and grinding, but you just grab it. If the ball cannot reach their feet, we also need to be more patient than them."

In the 23rd minute, Zhao Xuri uprooted Brazilian forward Sobis in the middle and received the first yellow card of the game. Soubis limped off. The Chinese team finally got more than a minute of breathing space, but it was still difficult for the Brazilian team.

Chen Tao in the middle was cut open and rarely got the chance to organize an attack.

After 30 minutes, the Brazilian team's rhythm suddenly picked up, and it seemed that they felt it was time to really invest their forces in the attack. However, there were still two players left in the backcourt to keep an eye on Dong Fangzhuo and not let Mao Jianqing go too far.

Skilled foot skills and coordination allowed the Brazilian team to quickly force the Chinese team back into the penalty area, but they still did not get any good shooting opportunities.

Soubis, who had just been violated by Zhao Xuri, still dared to take the ball and make a fuss in the middle of the Chinese team's penalty area, and the target was Zhao Xuri.

It seemed that Zhao Xuri had already received a yellow card, and he definitely wanted Zhao Xuri to get another one, but Zhao Xuri was not so stupid and played more cautiously.

"Huh, what the hell is this? It's still 0:0." The Brazilian fans in the stands were a little impatient.

"If you are a Brazilian player, just get the ball past your opponent and then finish the goal!"

In the eyes of Brazilian fans, Brazilian players should do this instead of passing the ball back and forth in front of the opponent's penalty area. Brazil is not Spain. It relies on passing the ball to break down the opponent's defense. The forwards should break through and shoot!

But,

No.

Soubis was tightly pressed against Zhao Xuri, but he didn't take a shot. In the end, he could only use his heel to pass the ball to his teammate Renato. Renato hurriedly kicked off and kicked...

"Pooh!"

Brazilian fans were very dissatisfied. This attack was not Brazilian at all.

Just when Renato was obviously dissatisfied with his shot, he lowered his head and spat, but the ball he shot bounced into the court.

Zeng Cheng saw this was a good opportunity, grabbed the ball and threw it out. The ball was thrown very far and finally landed at Chen Tao's feet. Chen Tao was overjoyed and took the ball off with his left foot. When he turned around, he passed the ball without hesitation. He had no other passing route and could only find Dong Fangzhuo.

Dong Fangzhuo was stared at by Leonardo and Santos at this time, and it was difficult to get rid of each other. Just as he was about to go back, Santos blocked his path, got stuck in front of Dong Fangzhuo, and got the ball.

Chen Tao's pass was lost.

"These two Brazilian defenders are not simple. They must have done a very detailed study of Xiao Dong and cut off Chen Tao's passing route in advance. Zhao Xuri should have inserted more in the backcourt. There was too little offensive power invested in the frontcourt. ”

Santos directly handed the ball over with his big foot. The Chinese team failed to counterattack. Instead, Brazil seized the opportunity to counterattack. Aruka took the ball on the right and quickly passed it to the front of the Chinese team's penalty area. This time, Sobis simply didn't stop the ball, raised his left foot, and passed the ball directly to his partner Bobo. Bobo immediately He kicked off and volleyed vigorously from the front of the penalty area. Zeng Cheng was very focused and flew to lift the ball over the crossbar.

But the Brazilian team's attack was not over yet. Aruka quickly took the corner kick into the penalty area. Sobis went to respond, but Feng Xiaoting and Bobo were entangled in the penalty area, and the referee whistled for a foul on Bobo.

At the end of the first half, neither team scored a goal.

"So boring..."

No one is satisfied with this kind of game. Both sides focus too much on defense and their offense is boring.

But if you want to advance, isn’t that what you need?

Krauchen had been thinking about how to break through the Brazilian team in the first half, but he could not think of any good way and could only stay on the defensive. Before the game, I don’t know how many people suggested that the Chinese team and the Brazilian team should play against each other. , but he never thought about it.

No matter how awesome the Chinese team's skills are, they are nothing in front of the Brazilian team, so although they continue to put up a 433 attack formation, it is actually just to scare people. More often, the team plays 4321, or 451, There are actually very few troops devoted to offense, and the team's focus is on defense...

"It is said that the Chinese team is stubborn, but Krauchen's use of troops in this game is completely opposite to his usual. The Chinese team is playing very conservatively now, but it is impossible to play an open game with the Brazilian team... "

In the locker room, Krauchen has been emphasizing defense and has not made too many demands on offense.

At the beginning of the second half, he replaced Zhao Xuri with Huang Bowen. After all, Zhao Xuri got a yellow card. He didn't want this yellow card to affect the entire game.

Zhao Xuri was a little depressed, but he could only accept being replaced. Who told him to get a yellow card.

Only 2 minutes into the second half, Brazil attacked in the frontcourt. After getting the ball, Popo went straight to the left, and Sobis' shovel shot missed slightly.

"You have to concentrate! Huang Bowen seems to have not adapted to the rhythm of the game."

In the 52nd minute, Brazil made a wonderful pass from the right side to the penalty area. Soubis pushed the ball 8 meters in front of the goal but Zeng Cheng fought hard to resolve it.

"Brazil is starting to speed up the offensive!"

"The Chinese team should be careful."

In the 64th minute, Bobo shot with his right foot on the left side of the goal, and the ball slightly missed the right post.

"It's over, it's over, Brazil is taking more and more shots."

"I can't stop it, I can't stop it!"

Chinese fans are also starting to get anxious. Chinese players are also a little anxious. The Brazilians pressed and attacked for more than 20 consecutive minutes, leaving everyone breathless!

In the 68th minute, Aluka took a corner kick from the left into the penalty area. Zeng Cheng struck decisively, but Huang Bowen, who was in a panic, suddenly bumped into Zeng Cheng!

"Danger!"

Bobo headed the ball into the empty goal!

The Chinese team finally fell behind.

"What should I do?" Even Huang Jianxiang didn't know what to do and asked like an ordinary fan.

"Oh, why is this such a way to lose the ball?"

"It's not easy to change the goalkeeper..."

This is a game where only victory is allowed, not defeat.

After falling behind, the Chinese team must attack with all its strength, otherwise it will be eliminated.

Hero, where is it?

"The Chinese team must fight to the death!"
