I'm Kaka Kaka

Chapter 109

On June 6th, Kobe Flying Wing Stadium, the sixth round of the eighth final is about to start, Brazil will play against Belgium.

The winner of this game will face England in the quarter-finals, so England internationals such as Beckham, Owen and Scholes also sat in the stands.

Kaka came off the bench again, but the camera still took care of him twice. Many commentators would mention his name when they had nothing to say between games, and compared him with Irving in the stands.

There is no such award as the best rookie in the World Cup, but there is no doubt that the best rookie in 98 was Irving, and this year, Kaka has already booked this honor without a trophy.

As the winner of last year's Golden Globe, England's Golden Boy still has a lot of cards and can be compared with him. Kaka's current popularity is evident, and everyone's expectations for the quarter-finals can also be seen from the side.

Brazil VS England, this year's best rookie VS last year's No. [-] student, full of highlights.

Of course, the premise of everything is that Brazil can win the opponent in this game, but judging from the performance of the first half of the game, they may not be able to do this.

Scolari's non-mainstream formation is difficult to define with numbers like 443 or 522. Anyway, there are five defenders, of which the two most wide can be used as wingers, and the rest are three and a half midfielders and one and a half forwards.

The one that was cut in half was Rivaldo. He could not only create opportunities for his teammates, but also make the final decision by himself, so Scolari put him in a position similar to a shadow striker.

Both sides have their own offense and defense, and they both created some threats, but until the end of the first half, the score was still equal to the egg.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, everyone was a little impatient. They each completed two shots in just 10 minutes, but they were both blocked by Cheney and De Vlieg, who played steadily.

In the 6th minute of the game, Scolari couldn't sit still, stretched out his hand, and Kaka came on the field.

He replaced Juninho.

Compared with the fuss of the Brazilian commentators when they played for the first time, everyone's attitude towards this substitution is taken for granted.

Even expected.

After Kaka came on the field, he first conveyed the instructions of the head coach.

Rivaldo went forward to partner with Ronaldo, so there was no need to retreat.

Cafu and Carlos stayed in the backcourt honestly, doing what a defender should do.

So Scolari's tactical thinking is very clear.

Strengthen the defense by curbing the attacking desire of the two full-backs, while using Kaka's sudden ability to strengthen the attack.

It's hard to say which one is better than the original tactic, but now that the former one has proven to be ineffective, it's time to try the latter.

It's just that Kaka didn't get a chance to play immediately after he came on the field. Instead, Belgium attacked first.

Mpensa knocked back near the baseline, Wilmots made a sudden stop and buckled back, knocking down Lucio who was pounced up, and shot with his left foot 16 meters in front of the goal.

It was a low and flat ball, fast and urgent, and extremely threatening. Fortunately, Cheney reacted quickly enough and flew to block the ball, but the ball he saved fell to Welhein's feet.

Welhein made a supplementary shot from a small angle on the left baseline, but Cheney, who had just completed the save, slammed across his body, and the football hit his calf and flew out of the baseline.

Cheney stood up and yelled like he was venting, and Cafu came over and patted him on the back, indicating that he had done a good job.

Belgium's corner kick was well-deserved, and Cheney jumped high and took it off before everyone else.

There was warm applause from the stands, affirming Cheney's series of outstanding performances. The Belgian players also regretted another missed opportunity, but Cheney directly took two steps after landing and kicked off the ball quickly.

Kaka didn't know when he had already run near the middle circle, facing the direction where the football was flying, stepped over the football the moment the football just landed, and tapped his heel.

The football had no chance of rebounding and rolled directly behind Kaka.

At the same time, Kaka turned around and caught up with the football, striding forward.

"Cheney and Kaka have a good understanding. As soon as they got the ball, they sent a long pass. The Belgian was too careless. There was no one around Kaka..."

Almost all the Belgian midfielders rushed forward to fight for the corner kick, leaving only a few defenders to defend in their own half. Kaka sprinted for more than ten meters with the ball before meeting the first enemy.

Belgium's No. 5 Van Kerckhoven.

They met head-on about five meters in front of the penalty area. Van Keckhoven had already stabilized his focus and waited for Kaka to arrive, but after seeing Kaka's rough dribbling method, he suddenly felt that he had found an opportunity.

He thought beautifully.

Because Kaka waded the ball far away when he was dribbling the ball, and this was the time when the football had just left his feet, and it was the time when he had the weakest control over the football.

But Van Kerkhoven obviously still didn't grasp the rhythm of Kaka's dribbling. Kaka touched the ball first and rushed past him with a simple horizontal swipe.

If it was a bit far-fetched for the commentators to put Kaka and Irving together before, then people can't compare them now.

Dribbling the ball at high speed and changing direction quickly, people seem to see the classic scene of the British-Afghan war four years ago repeated before their eyes.

The boy chasing the wind of that year has now become the hope of the whole England. With the golden goal, he is proud of the crowd. But now, can this boy who can also catch up with the upper hand be able to replicate his shocking blow and bring the Brazilian team to the quarter-final stage?

The answer is yes.

Ronaldo and Rivaldo have already taken away two defenders by running sideways, and Ronaldinho has also stepped forward quickly to support Kaka's side and rear.

And is it a problem for Kaka to single out a defender in the penalty area?

Everyone has already sentenced Belgium to death, all that remains is the manner of execution.

And Kaka, holding a butcher's knife, used a method that made the Belgians hate it: pedaling a bicycle.

One two three four five...

After seven consecutive fast and intensive cycling, Peters, who did not dare to foul, was shaken to the ground in embarrassment.

Kaka flicked to the right, faced the goal, and shot with his feet.

The football went straight to the dead end without any suspense.

On the amateur court, this kind of close-range burst when facing the goalkeeper alone may cause the shooter to be severely beaten, but on such occasions, this visually impactful picture makes people feel only violent aesthetics.

Kaka opened his arms, ran to the sidelines as if flying, and glided on his knees.

The turf of the Flying Wing Stadium is of good quality and has no bars.

Praise.
