The days of playing football with Da Luo

Chapter 434 Entering the Top 8

"We didn't play badly in the first game. All the team needs is some adjustments in details."

At the press conference before the second group match, Dunga said.

"The injuries of Ricardo and Kaka are under control. They have the opportunity to appear in the starting list. Everyone can rest assured."

"We are the defending champions. I firmly believe that we can qualify for the group stage. Don't feel like the sky is falling just because we lost a game. There is no team in this world that can not lose. The important thing is that we never lose Learn what you lose and start again."

In the second scene of the group against Chile, Brazil's starting roster has changed drastically.

The first is the formation, which has changed from 422 to 4231; then the lineup, the goalkeeper and the defense have not changed much, but Maicon, who was suspended from the team, replaced Alves; in the midfield, Gilberto Schill Watt's partner became Baptista, ahead of them were Anderson, Riccardo and Kaka.The teenager Lowe continued to act as a striker.

In actual combat, people found that this lineup is actually a 442 with a change of direction, but the position of another striker Ricardo is relatively deep; and Lowe's role on the field is not to score goals, but to act as a fulcrum, giving Licardo Make more balls.

This Brazil team looks brand new.

In the 33rd minute of the opening game, Maicon made a pass from the right side of the Brazilian team. Kaka missed the ball. Ricardo, who followed up in the middle, did not shoot directly in the face of the dense defense. Instead, he volleyed the ball to the young player Anderson.

Anderson's body is still insufficient. He fell to the ground in the confrontation with his opponent, but before he fell to the ground, he still struggled to hook the ball to the middle.Baptista followed up with a burst shot that pierced through the fingers of Chilean goalkeeper Bravo.

Soon Maicon was injured and Dunga had to replace Alves.

Towards the end of the first half, the Brazilian team counterattacked, and Kaka was offside and inserted into the penalty area. However, Bravo reacted quickly and tried to destroy the ball, but failed to open the ball.

Kaka leaned on Bravo with his back and passed the ball back to Baptista. Baptista was also blocked by someone in front of him. He couldn't shoot directly, so he distributed the ball to the right.

Alves followed up with a cross. When the pass reached the back point, Ricardo stepped in and easily headed the goal.

The score became 2:0!

The Brazilian fans at the scene rejoiced, feeling that they could witness another hearty victory.

The fact is also as they wish.

Entering the second half, the Chilean team's offense was weak, while Brazil became more and more courageous and repeatedly created murderous intentions.

In the 51st minute, the Brazilian team intercepted the ball in the midfield and counterattacked. After taking the ball, Ricardo quickly passed the two and shot a strong shot from the edge of the penalty area.

In the 70th minute, the Brazilian team launched a counterattack with a long pass from the backcourt. Ricardo broke through Vargas with the ball and got a single chance, but his lob shot was rejected by the crossbar.

In the 83rd minute, Ricardo once again got a one-handed chance. This time he still played with the goalkeeper Bravo with a lob shot, and the football also accurately "slammed" into the goal. Brazil led 3:0.

In the 87th minute, the Brazilian team stole the ball from the back court and passed it straight to Ricardo. Ricardo played a personal ball against Contreras and used his speed to eat his opponent. A defensive player, Fornster, calmly shot with his left foot, and the football passed through Bravo's crotch and rolled into the goal.

This is Ricardo's hat-trick and Brazil's fourth goal of the field!
This goal ignited the passion of the fans. Only the fans of the Chilean team were downcast, while the Brazilian fans and other neutral fans all stood up and applauded for Ricardo's goal!
On Brazil's bench, Robinho turned his face to the side and spat.He was both envious and jealous of Riccardo's hat-trick, and he felt that if he played, he could also perform such a performance.Damn Dunga, he didn't even give him a chance to show off.

Dunga breathed a sigh of relief. He folded his hands behind his head, leaned comfortably on the back of the chair, and comfortably enjoyed the breeze blowing on his face.

He can already imagine the praise and adulation of the media.

"Globe" said: "The superstar's hat-trick was jaw-dropping and saved Dunga's national team from being eliminated early in the Copa America."

Chile's "Globe": "Ricciardo's hat-trick let the Red Army (Chile) be slaughtered by Brazil, that tireless engine became a nightmare for our national team, Chile couldn't defend him at all, and didn't get much Chance to score."

British Sky Sports said: "Ricciardo put Brazil back on track. He showed unparalleled dominance."

In another game in the same group, Mexico defeated Ecuador 2:1 and won the right to qualify ahead of schedule.If the Brazilian team wants to qualify, it is best to win the last game.Of course, the media has no doubts about this.With a healthy Ricardo and Kaka, and the opponent is a third-tier team like Ecuador, it is difficult for Brazil to lose.

In the last group match, Dunga did not make a big move against the team, but let Alves replace the injured Maicon, and also sent another Sao Paulo player, Josue.

To be honest, Josue is only at the national level. If Dunga didn't want to try to use more new players, he would not be eligible to be selected for the Brazilian national team at his level.

Ricardo privately thought that taking Josue would be better than taking Ricko.

However, Figo firmly occupies the main position in Inter Milan. Rico did not have many opportunities to play last season and failed to show convincing performances.

However, as long as Rico can keep improving, next time Dunga forms the national team, Ricardo will definitely suggest to Dunga to bring Rico.

Thinking about saving face, Dunga would still sell it.

Josue made a lot of mistakes on the court, and even the entire Brazilian team stumbled a bit.

However, Ecuador was weak and failed to seize the opportunity. Instead, Brazil broke the deadlock.In the 54th minute, Ricardo was pulled down by Espinoza in the penalty area. The referee gave a penalty and Kaka made the penalty.

After scoring the goal, the Brazilian team finally recovered some of their usual fluency and began to take the initiative.

In the 74th minute, the Brazilian team counterattacked. Lowe barely swept the ball towards the goal under the close pressure of the opponent's defender. :2.

"Riccardo is the god of the Brazilian team. His four goals helped Brazil enter the quarter-finals." "Reims Sports Daily" said, "Brazil is only a little stronger than Ecuador: Ricardo. If there is no Ricardo, The outcome of this game is unpredictable.”

As the coach, Dunga certainly can't just praise one person: "Ricardo is a great player, he is our most important player, but the Brazilian team is a collective, we still have many good players, we can win Games are played because the team is acting more and more as a unit."

In this regard, Brazil Global TV commentator Oliveira said sarcastically, "I don't want to talk about other things about this Brazilian national team except Ricardo. Dunga's team has tarnished the Brazilian team's jersey. Although we There is no Ronaldo and Ronaldinho, but Baptista, Diego, Alves are all the stars in the Euroleague in the past, and in the national team, they become mediocre, and Dunga can't do anything about it .”

Oliveira's words are not without reason.Throughout these three group matches, it seems that only Ricardo is shining in the Brazilian team.In addition to Kaka's performance is notable, the teenager Anderson is quite satisfactory, the performance of other players can be said to be a disaster.

"If you want to face the 2010 World Cup with this lineup and state," "Scoreboard" said bluntly, "I think Dunga can buy a ticket back to Brazil in advance."
