At this moment, Lin Yaodong finally showed the taste of a leader.

Chapter 379 Since You Asked Sincerely

From the beginning of the first half, the two sides used completely different styles, which made the game enter a weird rhythm.

If there is no ideological prejudice, then the match between China and Brazil is two temperatures, two colors, and two different worlds.

The Chinese team's defense on the defensive end is very targeted. They effectively control the frontal battlefield of 25-40 meters in front of the goal, but the price is that the Brazilians can do whatever they want on the wing, and when the Brazilians press forward, their ass It will always be cold.

But there are also gains and losses. It becomes very difficult for the Brazilians to attack the frontal battlefield from the middle. The closer to the goal, the greater the defensive resistance they will encounter. into the trap.

So far, Brazilian players can only rely on their personal ability to score near the penalty areas on both sides, and even the Brazilians who are good at small-scale cooperation feel seamless.

However, the Brazilians usually attack this area, which is enough to pose a great threat to the defender.

But today, regardless of whether the Brazilian wide players cut in to shoot, cross into the penalty area, or make a pass from the bottom, Lin Yaodong will always become a wall that is difficult for them to bypass, and he can always use his personal performance to eliminate the danger at the end A line of defense.

In the half-time of the first half, Lin Yaodong had already made 3 wonderful and effective saves in front of the goal, and resolved several passes that invaded the penalty area.

This kind of performance can be described as glorious, but the defenders and midfielders of the Chinese team are not without credit. They successfully blocked the threat from the front, making Lin Yaodong only need to pay attention to the attack from the 45-degree direction.

This kind of trade-off limits the loopholes that the Brazilians can take advantage of, or this is the opportunity for the Chinese team to deliberately stay.

Under the premise of the opponent's limited choices, Lin Yaodong showed his abilities to the fullest today. He seemed to be in front of the gate, and he was in a state of being alone.

This kind of defense naturally also attracted the yin and yang of the commentators from various countries, but this is already counted. Their offensive performance is the black spot that Western commentators criticize.

The reason is simple, they played too ugly on the offensive end!

Today, as soon as the Chinese team gets the ball, it is a non-aggressive lateral transfer. If it encounters resistance, it will be even more excessive, and it will be passed back immediately, all the way back to the goal. In short, it is rare to see them actively advancing. , it can be said that there is no aggressiveness.

This kind of unappreciative and ugly offense makes the original smooth rhythm become dull once the ball is transferred to the Chinese team.

The two strikers of the Chinese team also have their own flaws. When they saw the configuration of the double strikers, they thought that the Chinese team would have a vigorous confrontation with the Brazilians.

But the fact is just the opposite. These two strikers are the defenders who stay in the frontcourt. As soon as the football reaches the Brazilian team's half, they will go forward to press.

This kind of press is not afraid of the Brazilians, because even the two central defenders in the Brazilian team have delicate passing and control skills, and even have good long-range shooting ability.

But the two forwards with speed and confrontation, especially the frontcourt pressure brought by the monster Wu Jie, still made the Brazilians afraid to pour the ball in the backcourt like the Chinese team, and of course they didn't bother to do so.

These have caused the Brazilians to basically attack the frontcourt when they have the ball, and the Chinese team will shrink in the backcourt for meaningless kicks as soon as they get the ball.

After watching the game for more than 20 minutes, many neutral fans became fans of the Chinese team.

But Santana on the sidelines felt more and more bad. After experiencing the defeat in the last World Cup, he had long understood that this kind of fragmented game contained ever-changing dangers and opportunities in every moment.

His worry is not wrong. The ultimate move of the Chinese team's "chain defense 2.0" on the offensive end is to suddenly change the defensive and offensive rhythm in a fragmented game, and to play a dream moment in the most difficult attack or defense!

In the 33rd minute of the first half, Socrates, who had been besieged and cut, suddenly discovered the Chinese team's opening on the frontal battlefield.

He didn't think much about it, but felt that the Chinese team's defense had a flaw.

It's no wonder that he lacked vigilance. The Chinese team's defense was unprecedented, and it was difficult to see the situation clearly in the game. Even Santana, who was always on the sidelines, didn't see the danger coming.

But if you look at it from a bird's-eye view, you can see that the Chinese players have quietly formed a diamond shape around the open space, but the distance between them is a bit far.

Socrates did not have enough vigilance, and the defense of the Chinese team did not focus on actively double-teaming and stealing the ball. As long as the Brazilians did not invade the frontal battlefield, the Chinese team would not take the initiative to exert force. Cutting, like a slowly closing net, forcing the opponent to complete the attack before encircling.

But this time the Chinese team not only set a trap, but their defensive rhythm and aggressiveness also suddenly accelerated to a higher level.

When Yurkinho passed the ball to Socrates, the four players who had ambushed by the Chinese team quickly completed the contraction from four directions in an instant.

Socrates fell into the siege in the blink of an eye, but as a seasoned veteran, he did not panic, but quickly looked for the point of exit.

But after a quick look around, he couldn't find any spots to get the ball out?

This is very fatal. Socrates has always been known for his creativity and imagination in passing, but this time the Chinese team's diamond cut not only has no dead ends, but after the entire defense zone is quickly compressed, even the points around the ball are blocked and blocked.

The Brazilian players also found that Socrates was in a tight siege and rushed to respond, but it was obviously too late.

Socrates remained calm when he was in a desperate situation. He knew that if he played the ball hastily now, it would be easy for the Chinese team to steal the ball and counterattack.

The best choice now is to use your superb skills to deal with the opponent. Even if you lose the ball, you must give your teammates a chance to return to the defense. As long as the Chinese team does not counterattack, a mere mistake is nothing.

But unfortunately, Chen Haonan was the first one to steal the ball. He would not give Socrates a chance to delay. He saw the timing and made a clean steal, leaving the Brazilian midfielder with a look of embarrassment.

What was also embarrassing at this moment was Brazil's backcourt defense. Socrates' conceding the ball was not a disaster. Which midfielder would not make such mistakes. Wu Jie and Chen Haonan had many similar mistakes.

The real trouble for the Brazilians is that the two full-backs are pressing up. At this time, the Brazilian team will only have two central defenders in the backcourt, and the midfielder Cerezo will have time to return to the defense.

After receiving the pass, Wu Jie faced Cesar and Cerezo's front and rear double-teaming, and decisively passed it to Wang Dongning, who was pulling to the side, and accelerated himself to sprint forward.

The Brazilian already knew that it was not good. After receiving the pass, Wang Dongning didn't take it himself, and quickly passed the ball to the open space behind the Brazilian. This was a simple two-for-one.

But this simple coordination quickly turned into the deadliest counterattack under Wu Jie's amazing sprint speed.

Cesar and Cerezo chased after them with all their strength, but they were still thrown away by Wu Jie in a blink of an eye. This absolutely crushing speed made the two Brazilian players feel deeply powerless.

Gallo didn't hesitate at this time, he directly abandoned the goal and rushed out of the penalty area.

The Brazilian goalkeeper knew that staying in the penalty area and facing Wu Jie's one-handed goal, there is absolutely no possibility of surviving!

But will it be any better if you leave the door?

Wu Jie's speed gave everyone an unreal feeling, but it also told people the answer in advance.

Gallo had just rushed out of the penalty area, and when he was still a few meters away from the football, Wu Jie caught up with the football first, and a simple change of direction cleared the active Brazil's No. [-] goalkeeper.

Half of the Brazilian fans at the scene couldn't help covering their eyes, because the next scene was too cruel!

Wu Jie did not humiliate the opponent when the goal was empty, such as deliberately dribbling the ball to stop in front of the goal, mocking it and then dialing the ball in so that it was too late to hit.

After getting rid of Gallo, he kicked the ball towards the empty goal with a simple push.

Cesar and Cerezo didn't even have the idea of ​​blocking the ball before it rolled into the goal line, because Wu Jie threw them five meters away in the sprint of just over 30 meters.

Cerezo was the most tragic. He fell to the ground during the forced acceleration and couldn't get up until the football rolled into the goal.

Brazil coach Santana's face turned pale a lot, he thought the Chinese would use dense defense against them.

But he didn't expect that although the Chinese team has a large number of defenders, it is not a dense defense in the traditional sense at all, and it looks different from Italy's defensive system.

He can be sure of this. The last World Cup made him too impressed with the Italian's defense.

The defense of the Chinese team does not rely on physical fitness and individual combat to press down like Italy. Instead, it uses two defensive chains to cut and compress the most threatening areas. The ultimate goal is to force them to shoot in less threatening areas. .

But the worst thing is this. In the eyes of these Brazilian players, the areas that have been deliberately released are all within the range of shooting. Why don't they dare to shoot?

The Brazilian is more than daring to shoot, but from the shooting data in the first three and 10 minutes of the first half, it can be seen that the Chinese goalkeeper has an almost dominant performance in these shots. This is a Chinese trap! ! !

Just when Santana on the sidelines felt that he was careless, Wu Jie on the court was already celebrating with his "alien flip", which has caused the death of one imitator around the world and the serious injury of two imitators since its inception. , and the "death front flip" that did not know how many minor injuries were caused.

"Wu's goal, and how wonderful this celebration is, how ugly the Chinese team is playing today!"

"I can't believe that such an unprogressive team can actually become the leader. Maybe this is the benefit of having an alien!"

"Poor Brazilians, they played good football and are now behind, and we all know what it means to be behind against aliens!"

"..."

At this moment, the yin and yang strangeness from all over the world fully explained what is called "double standard", and no one discussed the difference between the Chinese team's defense compared to the past.

Santana also only saw that the Chinese team used chain defense to cut and achieve extreme compression on the frontal battlefield, but he did not see the attributes of zone defense that had been added to this chain defense.

Today, the Chinese players did not turn around to chase after being passed, but immediately ran to the next defense zone, so that the deeper their dense defensive formation was like a spring under pressure, the stronger the rebound and resistance.

In many cases, they didn't even press close to the body, but took the initiative to retreat and deliberately let go of a channel for the Brazilian players to break through.

However, as the deeper the defense zone is, the more people there are, the greater the resistance the Brazilian players encounter. In the end, they either fall into the quagmire and make mistakes, or are forced to shoot from the position Lin Yaodong has prepared.

The Chinese players dared to play such a layer cake-style defense precisely because they had absolute trust in Lin Yaodong and believed that this kind of prepared shot from outside the penalty area was no threat to him.

The Brazilians still don't understand the true intentions of the Chinese team. Now that the score is behind, they will naturally become more impatient. At that time, the Chinese team will have more and more opportunities to counterattack.

But even though this is the case in theory, Brazil is after all a representative of offensive football, and even artistic football.

Such a team's counterattack after injury, even with a defensive system that transcends the times, still makes the Chinese team feel like a storm is coming.

When Brazil's two wingers fell behind, their offensive became even crazier. In particular, the two full-backs seemed to live in the frontcourt, constantly using their skilled dribbling to launch a sharp breakthrough towards the Chinese team.

In the 40th minute, Li Junwei even lost the opportunity to move to the defense zone behind Blanco's fierce and delicate breakthrough, because he was overconfident in his speed and was directly knocked down.

But this did not make the Chinese team's defense a fatal flaw. Blanco's breakthrough route soon had two defensive players waiting for it.

Blanco glanced at Socrates, who was still being cut, and was about to kick himself outside the restricted area when he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"That guy is coming up, hurry up and make up for it!"

Lin Yaodong saw Cerezo pressing up in the penalty area, and hurriedly signaled his teammates to go up to fill the position.

But this accident was beyond the expectations of the Chinese players. The Brazilian was counterattacked by the full-back just now because they pressed up. Now the midfielder dares to press up. Isn't he afraid of Wu Jie?

Of course Cerezo is afraid, but the Brazilians are so passionate and unrestrained in their bones.

After Cerezo stepped in, the Chinese team's defense was finally poked through a hole, and the overall operation began to become chaotic.

At this time, Careca suddenly made a spiritual counter-run, and the defense of the Chinese team fell into chaos. For a while, several players repeatedly marked and defended, so naturally some Brazilian players were missed.

"Louis Müller!"

This top striker who represented the Brazilian national team in the World Cup three times in the original plane, although he was serving as Careca's wingman this time, he already has a unique level of strength in terms of strength.

The Chinese team missed a deadly threat. After leaving the penalty area, Carrekara first caught the ball with his back and knocked it back to Socrates. After the latter touched the ball with one foot, he directly picked the ball into the penalty area.

Muller understood it, and a textbook-like anti-offside got rid of the defense. When he successfully rushed into the small penalty area, he was less than 5 meters away from the goal.

At this time, Muller didn't wait for the football to hit the ground, and then he kicked it with one foot, aiming at the opposite direction of Lin Yaodong's movement, a world-class movement and shot.

The Brazilian fans in the "Aztec Stadium" have already raised their arms and shouted. With such a close-range shot, such a world-class shot, can the Chinese goalkeeper still save the ball?

"Hello, yes!"

With a reaction close to the limit of human beings, Lin Yaodong has personally proved that he can make a save at such a short distance, and even block the ball directly.

"what?"

"God, is he a dog?"

"Did he flash? How could he move so fast?"

After the Brazilian players saw Lin Yaodong jumping obliquely backwards on the spot, he jumped backwards and used his long arms to block the football out of bounds. Many people knelt on the ground with their heads in their hands in frustration. The one with the most desperate expression was Muller who finished the shot. !

"This is my territory, if you dare to break into it, I think you are looking for your own death!"

After Lin Yaodong made such an extreme save, of course he couldn't just pretend to be aggressive without saying anything.

The trash talk yelled at the Brazilian is tantamount to another stabbing in the already injured Brazilian.

This knife also poured cold water on the Brazilian's angry counterattack. In the first half, they had completed ten shots, 7 of which were within the range of the goal frame.

But none of these shots that should have scored a goal could break through Lin Yaodong's ten fingers. Even such a must-have goal was blocked, so what kind of shot can break his goal?

Chapter 3: Then I will tell you mercifully

In the last 5 minutes of the first half, the Brazilians couldn't even shoot within the range of the goal frame. Lin Yaodong's perfect performance made the Brazilians' mentality start to go wrong, which was reflected in the quality of their movements.

These Western commentators are right. When Wu Jie scored the first goal, the game completely entered the rhythm of the Chinese team!

As for how to break through the gate guarded by Lin Yaodong, the Brazilian did not find the answer until the end of the first half.

Coach Santana has nothing to do. He is a world-renowned coach, but it is also true that he is starting to fall behind.

His artistic football is now only suitable for clubs in South America, and he needs a group of Brazilian stars to play it pleasing to the eye.

At this time, let alone the Chinese team's leading defensive system in the world, even if it is the Italian team that is also hip-stretched this time, it will be difficult for this Brazilian team to gain an advantage when they meet.

In the end, Santana could only look at Zico. Originally, Brazil's midfield combination was Zico and Socrates. He believed that if Zico hadn't been troubled by injuries, the Chinese might not be able to lock their frontal attack.

"In the second half, Zico will definitely play, and then they will die!"

Wu Jie was very disrespectful in the other room at this time, not only pre-judged the substitution adjustment of the Brazilian team, but even sentenced the death penalty first.

"Ziko is old, and it's even worse in battle with injuries, but we still don't underestimate the enemy, and we still have to give the No.1 face in the former world enough!"

Chen Haonan is still very cautious. Zico was indeed No.80 in the world for a short time in the early 1s. No matter how short this time is, the respect they should give is still in place.

Now I just hope that the Brazilians will replace Cerezo, who is the only defender in the midfield, then they are really looking for a dead end, but will they really be so stubborn?

The answer is: yes!

This can only be said that different cultures and different ways of thinking cannot understand each other's answers.

The Chinese team does not stick to offensive football at all, or concentrate on defense. What kind of play is suitable for the current group of players, and what tactics can restrain the opponent, then consider from the perspective of maximizing the advantage.
