ball at foot

"Maybe we played too much in the first half? When I was walking on the sidelines, I saw a few Asian girls who were about to cry. One thing is that we did too much."

After the Brazilian came off the field, he walked into the locker room with a smile.As soon as he entered the locker room, Carlos laughed.

"Hey, let them pass first, okay? That goal made us lose face, and we will be booed when we return home: the idiot who was broken by the Asians."

Edmilson's words drew Cafu's mockery with a smile, "It's you who lose face, not us. It's you who said that you can stop him alone, not us who exaggerate."

"Besides, it's not a big deal, is it? We weren't in the mood at the time." Carlos also sang in unison, "Besides, it's not easy to be famous as an Asian. Maybe this goal can be given to him. Its value has brought a lot of benefits." [

Amidst the laughter of several people, Edmilson turned his head.

"Captain, I have a question." Ronaldinho began to speak, "This game is over, I want to exchange jerseys with him. He said good things to me just now, and he will still be my teammate in the future. I think he is good. I don't want to make too much trouble in the future."

"You won't make the opportunity too rigid, as long as you give him a guide to nightclubs in the Paris area, you can guarantee that no matter how big his hatred is, it will be resolved."

This ridicule made Ronaldinho blush again.Everyone knows that he likes to have fun, and this is not a good habit, but everyone also knows that it is too difficult to persuade him to get rid of the problem.Not everyone is like Rivaldo who never stays close to entertainment venues. Young people like to have fun, which is normal for Brazilians. Just a few insinuating words can serve as a wake-up call.

Cafu thought for a while, then nodded, "Since he is your future teammate, he shouldn't mess around. If you want to change jerseys with him, go ahead."

Carlos sighed incredulously.During the game, he also saw Zhao Yaning’s talent, and coupled with Zhao Yaning’s matchup with him, he originally thought that if Zhao Yaning’s character was good, he also wanted to change jerseys with Zhao Yaning.But since Ronaldinho brought it up, it's not easy for him to argue with Ronaldinho.

"Are you still playing in the second half?" Ronaldinho asked his own question again.

"Play for a while, help me score one, and then let's shrink the defense and let the defense also hone." Ronaldo said.

No one on the scene spoke. Although there was an undercurrent in the Brazil team, everyone had to admit that Ronaldo's performance in the first half was worthy of a goal.Since the opponent is not strong, and he himself proposed the idea of ​​scoring a goal, then he should help him score one.

"Then in the second half, it's better to change the way we play." Scolari, who was standing at the door of the locker room, didn't speak, just listened quietly to the players. Until this time, he interrupted to speak, "First half There are too many long passes in the field, our header ability is not very strong, and this seems to be one of the few advantages of the Chinese team, there is no need to play like this all the time. But their midfield defense, although arranged Two defensive midfielders, not very good, we should try to play through the middle. That is the way we should play."

Everyone in the locker room listened to his words, and everyone's expressions became serious.

"There is also our defense. The problem of out of position is too serious, and the problem of pressing forward is too serious. This problem needs to be paid attention to. Then there is the set-piece defense, which is too relaxed and needs to be more vigilant." Scolari said. Without going into an in-depth explanation, he knows very well what level of players his subordinates are. Talking too much to them will only make them disgusted. It is the best for them to stop. , "Don't take it too easy just because the opponent is too weak. In a knockout game, sometimes you lose a goal and you lose the whole game. Losing a goal is not a bad thing for us. The problems in the group stage were exposed earlier. In the knockout round Only then can we go further. If it’s like in 98, it will be really troublesome.”

Many of the people present were participants in the 98 competition. When they heard this, their faces were not very good-looking.

Outsiders didn't quite understand the game at that time, but they knew in their hearts why they were pulled off by the French when their fingertips touched the Hercules Cup.

"Don't play too much in the second half, let's score another one. Then shrink appropriately, try the pass control in the middle, and at the same time test the quality of our defense. Robert, in the first half, you seem to be right. Have you found a way to deal with that little guy?"

Carlos nodded. Although he still dare not say that one-on-one will definitely win, but relying on a little cunning, a little experience, and a little physical confrontation, he can guarantee that Zhao Yaning will not be able to show his ability in the second half of the game.

"Stop staring at him in the second half, let other people move around, and don't just care about one person's happiness."

Carlos nodded in understanding.

"Remember, since we are here, we have to go as far as possible. I won't say anything about winning the championship, so that you will have psychological pressure, but facing such an opponent, if you can't win, you yourself Do you think you will be happy?" [

of course not.Seeing that the locker room was boiling, Scolari said nothing more.

He knows exactly what kind of country Brazil is, and he also knows the quality and strength of the Brazilian national team.He doesn't have to worry about the technical level, physical ability or even tactical ability of these people. All he needs to do is to knead them together and let them play.As long as there are no internal problems among these people and they can maintain a survival mentality on the field, then even if the Brazilian team is not the strongest team in the world, they still have the confidence to compete against any strong opponent.

But speaking of it, I have to thank the Brazilian team for their unbearable achievements a while ago.If it weren't for the poor strength of the Brazilian team a while ago, it would be impossible for me to build a lineup according to my actual needs.If, like in 98, you don’t look at the status, but only look at the fame, obviously Dunga has been reduced to play in Japan’s J-League and still insist on using him, even though Ronaldo is not in good condition and force him to play, obviously the team’s midfielder has a fatal The short board still insists on playing midfield offense and defense with a team like France... If that is the case, no one can play well.

Thanks to my predecessors, they made a mess of the Brazilian team, and finally allowed me to make drastic reforms after taking over.

In this World Cup, the Brazilian team may not have much hope. The French team is at the peak of its spring and autumn, and the golden generation of Portugal is also the last glory. If the lineup is neat, the Italians are not far behind. However, this team led by myself , should be able to do it without embarrassment?

Meanwhile, in the other dressing room, the atmosphere was very different.

Zhao Yaning threw his shirt aside, covered his face with a towel, and didn’t say a word for a long time.Although Dazhen and the others would pat him on the shoulder and encourage him when they walked past Zhao Yaning, this could not change Zhao Yaning’s current mood in the slightest.

In the confrontation with Carlos, since Carlos got his temper right and started targeting him, he had no chance at all.

Carlos is not a well-known defensive full-back. Although his positioning is excellent, he is still not leak-proof. Although his defense is experienced, he can also be fooled and cheated.But even so, Zhao Yaning still has nothing to do with him.

Carlos' explosive power is too good, and Zhao Yaning's proud explosive power is not enough in front of him. Sometimes, even if he passed Carlos in one step, Carlos turned around and chased him, and he was still in place in time. The explosive power is something that Zhao Yaning has never encountered before.

And his strength is indeed great.In the past, it was only because of his strong feet, but he often overlooked the tyrannical strength supported by his well-developed muscles.Although Zhao Yaning has also improved his strength, compared with him, he is completely insignificant.

And most importantly, his experience and awareness.This is the first time for Zhao Yaning to meet someone who can disrupt his movements just by relying on defensive steps and clever movements.And after adding a little physical confrontation, and some fouls and side kicks, he didn't even have any chance at all.

And such a guy is actually just a defender who is not good at defense.So just how terrifying a defender Maldini would be?If I met him, wouldn't I have no chance at all?

In the training system, my stats are not low, but football games have never been a game that can be quantified by mathematics.

"You've played well, you've already scored a goal. Facing Brazil with a goal, what else do you want?"

Dazhen's words are precisely another sad thing about Zhao Yaning.If you fall behind in the game, your teammates will be annoyed by it, and it is naturally the best to want to get back face. Not only is no one in a hurry, but some people are complacent about a lucky sneak attack goal. With such an atmosphere in the locker room, what kind of ball is there to play?

Zhao Yaning also doesn’t think the Chinese team has hope of winning, but in any case, it is a bit too much to not think about making progress in the face of a strong enemy.When he was playing football on the snow, the national football team was his goal. When he went abroad, when he talked about the national football team, everyone admired him.Why is the division of the national team not as comfortable as a championship team in the second division?

With such a player, it is no wonder that the Chinese team has been unable to break out of Asia.

Zhao Yaning was in a mess in his heart. On the one hand, Carlos’ restraint made him understand how an outstanding star plays.On the other hand, the lack of progress of the national team also made him a little depressed. How can such teammates win with them?

"Okay, this game is just a formality. We can score goals, so there is no shame. It is enough to play against Brazil."

"But my match against Carlos is already a complete defeat."

Zhao Yaning said naively.Not to mention the first half, how the two flanks of the Chinese team were blown up by the Brazilians, Carlos' defense alone was a big net, and Zhao Yaning couldn't break free. [

"The game is not over yet, besides you have already scored."

The game isn't over yet.

These words made Zhao Yaning suddenly opened his eyes.That's right, the game is not over yet, how can I admit defeat so easily?If you admit defeat like this, what is the difference between you and the people around you?

So what if all the teammates don't want to make progress?What I need to face is nothing more than a person against someone.If I can't even win, what qualifications do I have to ask my teammates to win?

"Brothers," Zhao Yaning stood up and bowed to everyone, "I was able to score consecutive goals in these two games, thanks to everyone's care. To tell you the truth, my agent is thinking about it." Help me find a Ligue [-] team to play football, and I am negotiating a contract now. If I make this match and perform well, I can ask for a lot of money. Please help me, big brothers, let me be a younger brother I can earn some money to spend. Thank you, my younger brother.”

Since you guys don't like fighting for championships, I won't mention winning.You will never refuse such a naked request for money, will you?

"No problem, no problem." Amid the catering, Zhao Yaning didn't know how much they had listened to, and what the real effect was. See you on the field.

Not long after the start of the second half of the game, Carlos noticed a change in the Chinese team's style of play.

Their formation shrinks.This is not surprising. After losing in the first half, there are not many people who have the courage to continue to attack in the second half.Moreover, the exhaustion of physical strength made it impossible for them to maintain the playing style of running all over the court.

However, their shrinkage gave Zhao Yaning more room to move. Carlos couldn’t help frowning as he watched Zhao Yaning frequently move to the center as soon as he played.

This kid's style of play, even if it doesn't cause any trouble, will consume a lot of energy for the Brazilian team.

But no matter what, since the coach said it was not his responsibility, why should I care about him?I have already figured out his style of play. The little guy has too little experience. Like Kaka in his team, he is a young boy who has just played football. It is not very interesting to fight against such an opponent.Since the coach wants his teammates to play with him, why bother to fight for it?Anyway, they will soon realize how difficult that kid is.

Indeed, as he expected, Zhao Yaning made Brazil's defense aware of his existence.

No. 406 minutes, at the beginning of the game, left-back Wu Chengying's pass went directly into the penalty area.

Even so, the Brazilian team's defense was tense and dissatisfied.Lucio, Junior, and Edmilson are not short people. This header was caused by their omission.It is difficult for each other to accept such mistakes in their own penalty area.

But Zhao Yaning's running position made them a little upset.The guy missed a hit and retreated to midfield.And frequently cruising in the two ribs of the penalty area.This position is a bit too deep for a defensive midfielder, but a bit forward for a defender.Especially under the three-back system, it is a bit troublesome for this kind of strong side that runs back and forth.

After all, it hasn't been long since Brazil's defense was established.

"I'll mark him." Edmilson volunteered to say something, but Lucio shook his head and stopped him, "Don't bother, our priority is to establish a tacit understanding, not to block him alone. Look good When he enters the penalty area, we can control him. If he is just cruising outside the penalty area, let him alone. If he empties the defense line, we will be in more trouble."

Edmilson glanced at Lucio and didn't speak.Obviously, Lucio also saw the problem in the surprise attack in the first half.The lack of tacit understanding of the Brazilian team's defense is the most important thing. In contrast, Zhao Yaning's surprise attack, and even the victory or defeat of this game, are secondary things.

After all, the goal of the Brazilian team is to knock out the game, not this one.

And now, the thing to do is not to defend.

Soon the Brazilian team's attack reached the Chinese team's goal in one shot.

Carlos threw a strong throw-in on the left line and flew straight into the penalty area.It's a pity that Lucio fouled for the top, which brought Brazil's offensive to an abrupt end.

Goalkeeper Jiang Jin immediately threw the ball to Zhao Junzhe, who then passed the ball to Ma Mingyu.Ma Mingyu was about to run forward, but when he raised his head, he saw Zhao Yaning's raised hand and his figure running fast.

He ran to the left?What kind of kick is this called?

Ma Mingyu hesitated, but still passed the ball to Zhao Yaning.

Zhao Yaning was still on his back when he received the ball, and at this moment, Junior also immediately defended behind him.Zhao Yaning stepped on the ball, leaned against Junior, and then suddenly pulled the ball to the right. His center of gravity moved along with the ball, and then turned left quickly, passing from Junior’s side. rushed over.

But in front of him, Edmilson has already made up for it.

Being entangled by two defenders, Zhao Yaning had no confidence in breaking through.Without any hesitation, he kicked the door vigorously without saying a word.

Edmilson blocked most of the ball's goal, but Zhao Yaning's shot still went in the direction of the far corner.It's just a pity that this attack, because the distance was too far, and the ball was easy to predict, Marcos easily saved the ball out of the baseline.

Glancing at Edmilson and Junior, Zhao Yaning took two steps back and ran to the right.

This guy is dangerous.

Edmilson immediately followed.Although Zhao Yaning's level is not as good as the superstars he has seen, but in this game, he is obviously the opponent's first attack point and the most threatening person. Such a person needs some proper defense.

Wu Chengying took a corner kick on the right, and as soon as Zhao Yaning moved, he was watched by Edmilson and Gilberto.However, the ball unexpectedly did not go towards the near post where Zhao Yaning was, but flew towards Ma Mingyu at the far post.

Cafu rushed over without hesitation.At the same time, Zhao Yaning ran towards the outside of the penalty area, but Hao Dapao ran towards the inside of the penalty area. The Chinese team's running position made Edmilson feel at ease for a while.

Why don't you watch out?Already been fooled once.The opponent's striker is not a technical striker, his strength and header are his advantages. The few passes just now were all passed with his back, but this time, his state is facing the goal. Is the main attacker.

At this time, Ma Mingyu had already passed the ball.But unexpectedly, facing Cafu's defense, he chose a low pass.

The opponent has a height advantage, so he will definitely hit the high ball.Cafu, who had this idea, was going to catch the opponent's high ball, and everyone jumped up, but only to find that the ball was passed close to the ground.

Seems bad.Cafu turned his head and watched the ball go towards the middle.But what is gratifying is that Edmilson has blocked Hao Dapao's shooting angle in time. Even if he shoots, the greatest possibility is to hit Edmilson.

unless……

Hao Dapao took a sudden step forward and let the ball pass behind him.Edmilson and Lucio, who found out that they were fooled, tried to defend, but Hao Dapao stood in front of them, so they had to go around him to catch up with the football.

But it was a slow step, and they could only watch Zhao Yaning outside the penalty area, please forgive Gilberto’s entanglement, run towards the football, kick up, and shoot!

"The goal is scored! The Chinese team pulled back a goal! It was Zhao Yaning, who scored twice! In the match against Brazil, the teenager Zhao Yaning scored two goals in a row, rewriting the score to 2-3 again. This game overachieved and has the potential to create miracles!"

The TV commentator shouted loudly.

On the screen, the football flew into the near corner of the goal, and Zhao Yaning was surrounded by excited teammates, celebrating this incredible goal.

"This is a team football victory. From Wu Chengying to Ma Mingyu, to Hao Dapao and Zhao Yaning, everyone made the most reasonable choice. This is the level that the Chinese football team should have. We are good enough to compete with Brazil. of!"

Zhao Yaning couldn't hear the commentator's crazy commentary.However, he also felt a little proud at this moment: the strength of the Chinese team is not completely weak.

If we play at this pace, we still have hope.

Especially over there, Cafu, Lucio and Edmilson seem to be fighting.

"Fine, be serious." After Cafu said something, he thought about the frontcourt and walked over.It seems that the coach is right. In this game, it is indeed necessary for the defense to undergo some experience.

Fortunately, the advantage of the Brazilian team has never been the backcourt, but the offensive players in the frontcourt.

In 5 minutes, when Rivaldo took the ball, Cafu couldn't help raising his head and glanced at Zhao Yaning, who was returning to the defense at high speed.

Let you see what we Brazilians do when we lose face.

Raise your hand and ask for the ball.

Rivaldo saw Cafu's raised hand, without any hesitation, he passed the ball diagonally from a distance.Wu Chengying immediately posted over, and Zhao Yaning also followed behind.But Cafu took a step forward, stopped the ball in his chest, pushed forward, accelerated suddenly, and rushed past the double-team of two people.

Chest stop can still be used like this?Zhao Yaning never thought of playing this way.

But at this time, he couldn't think too much.He turned around and tried to catch up with Kafu, but Kafu didn't give him a chance to kick, and immediately made a low pass.

Zhao Yaning suddenly discovered at this time that China's defense line was also emptied by Cafu's assault this time.

Ronaldo stood at the far post, less than five meters from the goal, and shot.

The score became 4-2 again, and the little hope that the Chinese team had just ignited was extinguished again.

The strength of the Brazilian team is really suffocating.
