Football: The Strongest Hexagon Warrior

Before the start of the 21st World Cup final hosted by Luzhniki Stadium, a grand closing ceremony began.

The atmosphere throughout the stadium was maintained at a very high level.

But the craze was still waiting until the players from both sides entered the field, and the shouts that broke out were like a tsunami. Even the fans in the outer square who had not bought tickets joined in the carnival.

After a series of procedures for players to enter, both teams stood at half court, waiting for the Argentinian referee Piñata to blow his whistle.

None of the fans in the audience made any more noise, and took a breath, waiting for the game to start before bursting out.

"Beep~"

At six o'clock in the afternoon local time in the Warring States, the piñata looked at the time displayed on his watch and blew his whistle.

"aooaoaooaooaoaooaooao——"

"Dragon Country TV, Dragon Country TV, the game that is being broadcast for you now is the live broadcast of the French team against the Portuguese team in the 2018st World Cup finals at the end of 21. They are wearing dark blue jerseys and dark blue shorts. They look from the right side of the broadcast screen. Attack sideways to the left.”

As the overwhelming cheers rang out, CCTV 5 commentator He Wei blurted out: "Portugal is wearing the traditional crimson jersey and crimson shorts..."

The French team, which has a kick-off advantage, is exactly the same as in the past few games, with a steady start.

Through patient passing, he bypassed Portugal's strongest central defense and then sent the ball to the wing.

Griezmann, Mbappe, Pogba and Giroud are the French team's biggest reliance on offense.

Pogba has indeed played a huge role in past games, and he already has the demeanor of a superstar in his movements. However, in this game against Martin, he did not dare to show off his footwork. He was very low-key and strictly followed the requirements of head coach Deschamps. An honest series of overall offense.

Thanks to Martin, Pogba's passes that should have been passed forward became non-threatening cross passes and back passes.

It is precisely for this reason that the French team's performance at the beginning was not threatening.

The main role of Giroud at the front of the striker is not to score goals, but to attract firepower and make plays for players such as Griezmann, Mbappe, and Pogba behind him.

Among them, Pogba's go-between is the most important. His low-key performance directly affects the team's offensive quality.

On the other hand, Portugal's offense was impressive. Martin, who served as the central midfielder in the 442 formation, found his position early and could also bring tactical promotion to the whole team.

To put it simply, it means being able to stimulate the potential of teammates.

The first shot of the game came from Martin's non-stop through ball.

Guedes took advantage of Ronaldo's movement to receive a well-timed pass from Martin on the right side of the penalty area. He stopped and played in one go.

If not for Lloris' quick reaction, Guedes would have had a chance to help Portugal take the lead.

The French fans in the audience let out frightened exclamations.

Head coach Deschamps also let out a sigh of relief, but then his heart tightened.

Next, Portugal is better at corner kick attack!

It wasn't until he looked at three big men over 1.9 meters in height that he felt a little more at ease.

Pogba, Giroud and Varane.

Lucas Hernandez and Pavard are both over 1.85 meters tall.

Seat B may have been affected by the fanatical atmosphere of the World Cup finals. The quality of the corner kick taken was not good, and the ball was won by Lloris.

The French team still played steadily and gradually organized the attack from the backcourt.

Mbappe, who had already started to speed up, shook his head. He was very unhappy, but considering that his status in the team was not high enough, he did not show it.

Deschamps, who was standing on the sidelines, was very satisfied with the players' immediate performance.

In fact, counterattacking is not necessarily a good thing. Based on his vision, it can be seen that Martin seemed to have a prejudgment when he caught the low-quality corner kick in seat B. He did not mark the slow Griezmann or take charge of the ball. Pogba was in the overall situation, but he pounced on the extremely fast Mbappe.

If Lloris follows the defensive counterattack tactics formulated before the game, there is a high probability that he will not succeed.

Martin is faster than Mbappe!

Maybe it will be like the first goal England conceded in the semi-finals.

Being truly good at attacking and defending is not a name for nothing.

The core of the tournament system is always defense. Only when you are invincible can you pursue goals.

The offensive rhythm never picked up, and the scene was naturally not pretty.

Some pseudo-fans began to complain, saying, "Does this deserve to be called the World Cup final?" ], [My fights between wolves and dogs were more exciting than this], [RNM, refund your money! 】……

Audiences who know a little bit about sports, even those who are not sports fans, know that when the event reaches the pinnacle of determining the championship, no one can risk it.

Defending first is always the right choice.

In the first ten minutes, neither side contributed any decent shots, and the scoreboard still showed 0:0.

"aoaooaaooaooaooooo——"

The atmosphere at the Luzhniki Stadium was very fanatical, with overwhelming cheers coming one after another.

Fans from both sides in the audience focused all their energy on cheering and cheering, covering up the worry that swept through their bodies.

The game that determines the championship is always burdened with huge psychological pressure.

The same goes for the players on the field.

As the game time goes by, the players focus entirely on the game, and there is no longer too much mental baggage. The scene becomes more beautiful, and the momentum erupting from the audience becomes more powerful.

The fans in front of the TV didn't have any extra thoughts to focus on other than the game. They didn't even care about their friends who were in great need, and chose to watch the live broadcast intently.

Although there was no goal scored in the game, the competition between the two sides in the midfield was extremely fierce, and the number of people turning upside down began to increase.

Fans from both sides of the auditorium vented their dissatisfaction with boos.

The referee Pinata also realized that something should be done.

Therefore, he used severe penalties to restrain the actions of both parties.

The players on both sides are of high level and know what the core of the game is.

First make sure there are no problems with the defense, and then gradually increase the number of offensive players to threaten the opponent's goal.

Through Martin's reading of the game during this period, he knew that the French team planned to defend first and then look for opportunities to counterattack.

In general, the way to deal with it is to squat and defend. Whoever attacks first is the dog.

But in finals involving championships, it is always right to defend first.

In the past twenty minutes, he also fully implemented the tactical ideas developed by Santos before the game.

According to his guess, the French team is likely to defend for a long time.

This... is an opportunity that can be exploited.

In the 25th minute of the game, the French team found its first shooting opportunity in the game.

Pogba received Kanter's forward pass on the outside of the penalty area and hit the ball. The football he kicked was very powerful, but he couldn't control the crosshair.

"hahhahahaaa——"

There were Portuguese supporters sitting behind the goal, and they burst into mocking laughter.
