Football: The immortal legend on the green field

Chapter 30: One Life, One Failure

"See? This is Garrincha's tactical value!"

The Hungarian coach was very sure from the beginning that Garrincha was the player who could break the deadlock for the Brazilian team. People say that Pele is the soul of the Brazilian team, but experts like Hungarian coach Bartosz Bogado can see something different.

Pele is a great striker with excellent footwork, strong breakthrough ability, strong body, fast speed and excellent shooting skills.

The difference between Garrincha and him is that Garrincha is slower, but has better personal dribbling, a wider field of vision, and is more capable of delivering deadly passes.

Although Garrincha is now old and many of his skills are deteriorating, his experience on the court is even more amazing. As long as he is given the opportunity, he will deliver a fatal blow to his opponent.

His technical characteristics give him the potential to be a core player on the field.

There is a set of criteria for judging a good striker. Generally speaking, he should be able to receive the ball with his back to the goal and turn around successfully.

A center who does not have the ability to handle the ball with his back to the basket is definitely not a qualified center.

Being able to get the ball with his back to the basket and turn around successfully is what makes an excellent center.

Don't underestimate this.

In a football match, the moment you get the ball and turn around is arguably the most tactically valuable part.

Garrincha's greatest tactical value lies not in his technique or his passing, but in his ability to receive the ball with his back to the goal and turn around.

Only in this way can his skills, passing, and even subsequent shots have room to play.

Bartos scolded Matteo Noble, who was easily gotten rid of by Garrincha, and shouted loudly at other defensive players on the sidelines, signaling them to concentrate, stay vigilant and not be careless.

The game starts again.

Although the Hungarian team was behind in the score, they did not make rash advances easily.

The situation was still in the hands of the Brazilian team, and they tasted the sweetness. When advancing the ball, they began to focus on Garrincha's point.

After receiving instructions from the head coach, Shen Bin began to withdraw his activity area a little bit, ambushing behind the three forwards, and sometimes even retreating closer to the midfield.

Shen Bin once again blocked Noble with his body and received the pass from the midfield with his back turned.

Noble was behind Shen Bin, using his hands and feet to try to entangle Shen Bin.

Shen Bin took two steps back, and Noble saw the opportunity and tackled the ball directly.

Shen Bin had already judged the opponent's intention and had thought of the next action. He pushed the ball with his right foot and pushed the ground with his left foot, trying to jump over the opponent's foot.

However, there was still a slight deviation in the judgment of the body's function, and this slight deviation was fatal. The sole of the shoe still rubbed Noble's calf, and the studs hooked the socks. Shen Bin fell heavily on the grass, and a piercing pain came from his knee.

Noble stood up from the ground, suddenly took a step forward, and quickly passed the ball to the right.

Hungary's No. 9 Florian Albert received the ball with his back and immediately passed it to the Brazilian team's penalty area. No. 10 Igor Lana jumped high and headed the ball. The ball flew into the goal from the upper left corner of the Brazilian team's goal, and Hungary tied the score 1:1.

5 European fans shouted in unison, cheering for Hungary's ability to hold its own against the powerful Brazilian team.

Igor, who scored the goal, ran to the sidelines and celebrated wildly.

The Brazilian players on the field all stood there blankly watching all this, and no one cared about Garrincha who was lying on the ground holding his knees in pain.

It was not until the linesman signaled to the referee that the referee called on the Brazilian team doctor to come in and treat Garrincha's injury.

After emergency treatment by the team doctor, Garrincha stood up, carefully moved his legs, and found that although his knees were a little numb, it did not affect his running, so he signaled to the team doctor that he was not in serious condition.

In the following games, Shen Bin felt a little powerless whenever he exerted force with his left foot, so he reduced dribbling and focused on passing the ball. Since the Brazilian team lacked a good player who could dribble in the front, the threat to the Hungarian team was reduced a lot. Under Noble's close defense, his role was greatly reduced.

Hungary gradually gained the upper hand on the field until the 9th minute of the game, when Hungary's No. Florian Albert made a smart move to squeeze out the defensive players during a corner kick and made a lob shot, marking the second time the Brazilian team's goal was lost.

1:2, the score was changed again.

The subsequent game situation was still controlled by Hungary. No. 9 Florian connected the top and bottom, and organized Hungary's formation in an orderly manner.

At this time, the Brazilian coach made a stupid decision. He replaced a midfielder with a forward instead of replacing Garrincha who was obviously unable to run.

Hungary was quite wary of Garrincha's offensive firepower. Although he looked a little unwell, this kind of player could lose control of the entire game if they were even slightly neglected.

In the eyes of Hungarians, Garrincha is like a poisonous snake. No one knows when and where he will suddenly appear and give his teammates a fatal pass.

Although Shen Bin ran slowly, he kept moving around in the frontcourt, constantly running and looking for opportunities in the left and left side of the center.

This made Noble, who was defending him, very depressed, because this tall guy never had a moment to rest.

Time passed bit by bit.

Shen Bin once again appeared in the left middle area and got the ball.

This time he didn't turn his back completely, but faced the ball sideways. Noble hurried forward and blocked him with his shoulder, preventing him from stopping the ball successfully.

Shen Bin knew that with the interference of the strong Noble, it would be difficult to get rid of the opponent even if he stopped the ball. He knew that with the pain in his knees, he could not fight against the opponent.

Shen Bin made a clever move and the ball slipped past his feet. He half turned around and chased the ball, but he still underestimated the impact of his injured leg on his speed.

Just as he was about to raise his foot to control the ball, a huge force hit him from the side. As Shen Bin fell down, he heard a "click" from his right knee, and severe pain spread to his brain nerves.

Shen Bin could not bear the severe pain. He knew that his right leg was probably broken, otherwise he would not have heard the breaking sound.

What he didn't know was that Garrincha's injury was more serious than a broken leg. His injury was a ruptured ligament in his right leg.

The severe pain woke Shen Bin from his dream.

Shen Bin sat on the bed in a daze for more than an hour, until the sky outside the window turned white.

A new day has arrived.

In the two days when Shen Bin and Chen Tao signed the contract, the first quarter of the U17 team of China's first-class team had all ended.

Shen Bin and Chen Tao did not participate in the match between Liaoning Tianlun and Southern Xinjiang Tobacco.

Under the cordial care of the Football Association leaders, Liaoning Tianlun eliminated Nanjiang Tobacco 1:0 and reached the quarterfinals unprecedentedly.

After the round of 16 ended, the leaders of the Football Association who had led this farce leisurely returned to the capital with a large sum of cash donated by various teams. Of course, the two boxes of "Nine Five Supremes" contributed by Sun Kesheng were indispensable.
