Chapter 163 I’ll Kick You and Call You Coquettish!

“At the beginning of the second half, I don’t know how Scolari’s Brazilian team will make adjustments!”

Andy Gray looked at the players from both teams walking out of the tunnel and said.

"Brazil's main problem in the first half was their offense. Their offensive firepower was quite strong in the group stage and knockout stages, but in the final, their approach seemed to have failed."

Martin Taylor pointed out the problems of the Brazilian team to the point.

“Also, their defense seems not as solid as expected.

Although Thiago Silva's personal ability is very strong, his cooperation with his national team teammates does not seem to be a tacit understanding.

In the first half of the game, Brazil's defenders had many situations where people were chasing the ball and then missed the players they were defending! "

"Yes, these problems exist objectively. As a championship coach, it is impossible for Scolari to be unaware of these problems, so let us look forward to what adjustments he will make!"

The Brazilian fans in the Maracana Stadium are also looking forward to a different performance from the Brazilian team in the second half.

Especially the football king Pele sitting in the box.

When Brazil opened the scoring in the first half, Pele couldn't wait to post a picture of Brazil 1:0 Spain on social media to show that he was not a crow's mouth.

As a result, before he could be happy for long, Spain used an exquisite combination to equalize the score.

Well, it was just an equalizer. With the state of the boys in the Brazilian team today, it is only a matter of time before they take the lead again.

However, he did not wait for Brazil's goal, but instead waited for Spain's goal.

When Pele saw Lin Quan break out of the crowd and score Spain's second goal, the ball king himself stood stunned for almost half a minute.

When he saw that Spain really reversed the game with a score of 2:1, Pele started to sweat on his head!

It’s over!

Now I really have a crow's mouth!

Not long ago, Pele was happily scrolling through social media, enjoying the fans praising his rainbow fart. At this time, it seemed that the mobile phone in his hand was so heavy that it was so trembling that he could hardly pick it up!

On the Internet, the angry Brazilian fans did not insult their own football champion, but instead scolded the Brazilian team's defenders.

Alves, Thiago Silva, David Luiz, Marcelo!

The luxurious defense line that the Brazilians were proud of before the game was as fragile as a piece of paper in this game, breaking at the touch of a touch.

Thinking of the wild talk they made before the game about 'who can break this defense', the Brazilian fans felt burning pain in their faces.

Of course, it's impossible to get them to admit their mistakes, so they can only use these players as a punching bag!

Praise when you win, scold when you lose.

This phenomenon of bragging is common among fan groups around the world.

However, a certain national football team has been losing so much that it has almost become a spittoon in the field of public opinion, and it has become a situation that everyone reviles.

…

Del Bosque sat on the coach's bench and took a calm sip of water.

While drinking water, he observed the game on the field.

He could conclude that Scolari must have formulated targeted tactics to deal with Spain during the halftime break.

However, Bosque did not change the team's tactics easily.

His adjustments to the team's arrangements will not be implemented until 65 minutes later. Now, Spain is still using the first half style of play.

There's a saying in football that winning teams don't need to change anything.

Since the team can win, it proves that this lineup is effective and that these players have a chemical reaction on the court.

Random adjustments may be self-defeating.

Even if you have to adjust, you have to wait until your opponent makes a move.

Compared with Bosque's calm face, Scolari on the other side was much more nervous.

Although the Brazilian team has won two consecutive Confederations Cup championships, for them, the value of this championship does not seem to be that great.

But the significance of this game is extraordinary. This is the Confederations Cup held on their doorstep, and they are facing the number one team in the world.

For Brazil, which aims to win the championship, this game is a preview of next year's World Cup finals.

If they lose this game, it will be a huge blow to the morale and confidence of the Brazilian team.

Scolari was able to lead Brazil to win the World Cup last time, partly because the team was very strong.

Brazil, with a large number of stars such as Ronaldinho and Ronaldinho, Garivaldo and Roberto Carlos, is almost the strongest lineup in history.

Moreover, there were many black whistles during the World Cup in Japan and South Korea. Due to black whistles and poor opponent performance, Brazil's biggest competitors, the French and Italian teams, were eliminated early.

The one who reached the final was the German team, which was obviously inferior to them.

But in next year's World Cup, unless Brazil bribes the referee, Spain will be blown away before the final.

Otherwise, they will face the challenge of the defending champion.

This Matador is not the old, weak and sick German team. It is extremely difficult for the Brazilian team to defeat them.

I originally thought that Spain's aging lineup would not be able to withstand the impact of this group of young men in their team, but who would have thought that Spain's tactical core would be so young.

Isn't it nonsense to use the tactic of "surviving an old man" to deal with a young man who is not yet eighteen years old?

Thinking of the end, Scolari could only sigh secretly in his heart:

What kind of bad luck did Spain have? Just when they were about to reach their peak, such an incredible guy appeared!

With Lin Quan here, Spain will probably remain at its peak for at least another five years!

The collapse of the Spanish dynasty can only be announced when a large number of main players such as Xavi, Iniesta, Cesc Fabregas and Busquets retire and there are no strong enough players in Spain to replace them.

But now, everything is too early!

…

Scolari's adjustments still had some effect.

After his midfield adjustments, the Brazilian team's defense has become much more stable.

The Brazilian players know that Spain's passing is strong, so they no longer chase the ball.

Instead, he follows the target he is marking closely and does not give the opponent a chance to easily get the ball.

In this way, Spain's offense can be restricted by limiting the opponent's passing points.

In addition to adjustments to defense, Scolari also made adjustments to offense.

He asked the wide players to alternately use two tactics: bottom crosses and inward shots when attacking.

And players are required to cooperate as much as possible in the offense to avoid falling into the dilemma of fighting alone in the first half.

Neymar, Hulk, Oscar and others faithfully implemented his tactical arrangements. The three of them often exchanged positions on the court, using passes and cooperation with each other to try to open up Spain's defense.

However, because these three people do not play for the same club and the training time of the national team is relatively short, the tacit understanding between them is not enough.

In the frontcourt cooperation, the Brazilian players did not think of going together and made several mistakes.

But these conditions are gradually improving.

These three are all very strong players, especially Neymar.

Not only can he break through and complete the shot, but he also has a good pass that can open up space and provide assists to his teammates.

After he changed his playing style and was willing to cooperate more with his teammates, the Brazilian team's offensive threat is obviously on the rise.

The Spanish players realized this, so they stepped up their defense against Neymar.

But Neymar is not easy to guard against!

Neymar is very flexible and has excellent dribbling, passing and shooting abilities.

Although he does not have as fast a foot frequency as Lin Quan, his foot skills combined with fake movements are very deceptive, and the success rate of one-on-one passing is not low.

The most important point is that Neymar, like many South American players, has strong creativity, and his football is full of imagination!

It's just that Neymar is not very good. He is a bit sticky.

As soon as the ball sticks, it gives the opponent the opportunity to foul.

Spanish players may not be sure they can steal the ball from Neymar's feet, but they can still knock him over or tackle him.

As a result, after the start of the second half, Neymar was kicked over by Spanish players several times, and then dived or rolled on the court.

Brazilian fans saw Neymar being constantly violated by opponent players. They booed and protested against the Spaniard's brutal playing style.

However, Lin Quan on the other side was often fouled by Brazilian players when dribbling the ball.

Both sides know who poses the greatest threat, so they will naturally deal with Lin Quan and Neymar in a targeted manner.

However, unlike Neymar, Lin Quan will not dive exaggeratedly or roll on the ground holding his legs after being fouled.

Even if he was knocked down, he would quickly get up and continue fighting without even a word of complaint.

On the other hand, Neymar's reaction after he was fouled was a bit too exaggerated.

Comparing the two sides, neutral fans naturally sided with Lin Quan and had no sympathy for Neymar.

"Damn, Diving Luo has a successor!"

"Neymar might as well go to Hollywood to pursue his career. He is really underachieving in football!"

"He is indeed a player that Barcelona likes. He joined Barcelona just now. He has such acting skills. I admire him!"

"Lin is an honest man. If he rolls around on the ground with his legs like Neymar did after being fouled, and wails a few more times, then the Brazilian defender will probably get a few more yellow cards!"

For neutral fans, they watch the game with the mentality of appreciating the exciting game.

So they hate Neymar. Every time the game is getting intense, he suddenly dives into the water, interrupting the rhythm of the game and making the game intermittent, which greatly affects the viewing experience.

Although he has been violated many times, Neymar's threat has not diminished at all.

In the 58th minute of the game, Neymar dribbled the ball from the wing, and two Spanish players nearby immediately double-teamed him.

Neymar's physical confrontation ability is not strong, at least it cannot be better than Martinez who is 1.92 meters tall.

When he was pressed by many Spanish players, the Brazilian fans at the scene were all sweating for him, thinking that he was going to be kicked down again!

Neymar is different from Lin Quan. He cannot use the change of rhythm to beat the opponent's defender cleanly like Lin Quan.

But he often comes up with some incredible ways to deal with it.

Seeing Martinez approaching, Neymar gently kicked the ball to the left.

After observing the opponent's center of gravity shift, Neymar suddenly stepped on the ball back with his foot.

This goal was very unexpected and very dangerous.

When Neymar steps on the ball, his other foot is just off the ground, which means that his center of gravity is on the foot that is stepping on the football.

As for stepping on the ball to complete the transformation of the center of gravity, if you are not careful with this action, you will fall over due to the rolling of the football.

However, Neymar's excellent balance prevented him from falling and instead successfully completed this action.

This action was completely beyond Martinez's expectations, and the lawn seemed a little slippery. Martinez stumbled and lost his defensive position.

Only Monreal is left next to Neymar!

Arsenal's defender was taken aback, staring intently at the ball at Neymar's feet. At the same time, he paid attention to the change in the opponent's center of gravity and was ready to intercept at any time.

But the football seemed to come alive under Neymar's feet. He pushed the ball a little towards Monreal. After luring the opponent to take a shot, he quickly pulled the ball back, retreated with his body at the same time, and then took the ball. Knock your left foot and swing your body to the left at the same time.

Monreal hurriedly followed, but unexpectedly it was a fake move.

Neymar moved left and right, deceiving the opponent to pounce to the left, but he broke through to the right.

At this time, Martinez had stood up and was about to steal.

Neymar picked the ball and passed it to his teammate in the middle, and he slid past Martinez like a loach.

Fred received the ball and sent a through ball. Neymar received the ball and was about to hit the goal when he was tackled in the penalty area by Ramos.

Calling you a brat!

The way you play football, you deserve to be tackled!

Ramos glared at Neymar after the tackle and didn't even bother to reach out to pull him up.

The scene was in an uproar!

After being stunned for a moment, the Brazilian fans booed and protested to the referee, demanding a penalty kick.

The referee decisively showed Ramos a yellow card and gave the Brazilian team a penalty kick.

Although Ramos tackled the ball this time, he tackled the person first and tackled the ball with him.

Judging from his attitude towards Neymar after the tackle, many people suspected that this guy was just chasing someone.

"I'm sorry, Igor, for causing you trouble!"

Ramos calmed down after the tackle and realized he had made a mistake.

If there was no foul on this ball, it might have been saved by Casillas.

"It's okay. My position was not good just now. If he shoots directly, I'm really not sure I can save it!"

Casillas patted Ramos on the shoulder and did not blame him.

Let alone him, seeing Neymar teasing his teammates in that way, he wanted to give Neymar a kick.

The way Neymar plays is very nice, but that is from the perspective of his own fans and neutral fans.

If you are on the opponent's side, they will really feel humiliated when they see Neymar playing in this way, and they can't help but want to foul.

You play football in such a cool style, you are so stick to the ball, you have a flamboyant personality, and you are still the core of the team's offense. If you don't tackle, who will you tackle?

However, the price of this foul is a bit high.

For the Brazilian team, Neymar chose to take the penalty himself.

Casillas stared at Neymar without looking at his actions.

Neymar seemed to feel guilty and did not dare to look at Cassie.

He lowered his head and glanced to the right of the door, preparing to hit in this direction.

His move was noticed by Casillas, so he immediately made a save to the right.

With a bang, the football was slapped out by Casillas.

The Spanish defender kicked the ball out of the sideline first!

Casillas got up from the ground and roared domineeringly.

If you want to break the goal guarded by me, Saint Cassie, you are still a little green.

The Brazilian fans had already started celebrating when the referee awarded the penalty, but after seeing Casillas save Neymar's shot.

The 80,000-seat Maracana Stadium was silent.
