Frenzy [football]

"Which game are you watching, Dominguez?"

"Spain and China."

This is the hotel where the Brazilian team stayed. Dominguez was watching the game in his room, but another player from the Brazilian team knocked on his door, as if he wanted to invite him to play with everyone Play games, do something to keep them entertained during this long month when there is almost nothing but games and practice.

But when the Brazil player entered Dominguez's room, he discovered that his national teammate was watching a certain World Cup match.

"Spain and China?" Dominguez's national team teammate was obviously surprised to hear such a strange, non-focused battle between the two sides, but then said: "Ah, I remembered, I remember that Both upsets in the second round of the group, right?"

"Yes. And the coaches of these two teams are also very good. It is very interesting to see their tactics and improvisation."

"Tell me?"

"The Spanish team cut off the middle of the Chinese team and used the principle of space on the court to maximize their own space when attacking. This will allow them to complete their multi-point blooming tactics more smoothly. But now, The Chinese team simply gave up their center during a counterattack, and the attack went completely to both sides. The midfielder moved to both sides, and they took the initiative to hand over all the control of the midfield to the Spanish team."

"That sounds... unbelievable."

"Yes, maybe only the Brazilians can come up with such a whimsical tactic. But now it seems that it is very effective."

Even when Domingos said this, the South American narrator still shouted excitedly from the TV that had been turned down by Domingos earlier.

"Garrincha!!!"

Almost as long as he heard this name, Domingos already understood that his former club teammates must have launched a very threatening attack on the right wing at this time.So he asked his national team teammates with his eyes, really don't you want to watch with him for a while?

Lei Yi was selected by the South American sports media as one of the top ten players active in South American football this year, and was ranked first among the top ten players.

Perhaps, Lei Yi has already told people in this round of attack why he has such a high evaluation in South America when he has just turned 17 years old.

If there is such a group of people in the football world who can make the team stage an attack that can almost completely reverse the previous tens of minutes of the game by themselves, then... Lei Yi must He's one of those people who stands out.

After the Chinese team handed over control of the midfield, their strength and attack line on the field seemed to have become an olive shape.After seizing the opportunity to counterattack, Yerti in the backcourt directly handed the ball to Lei Yi, and then... the solo show of long and short legs began.

Due to giving up the midfield, Cheng Chuan and Wei Lin moved as close to the wing as possible, and used their own running positions to support Lei Yi's attack on the wing, which also contributed to the Chinese team's odd winger. The forward blocked the interference from the Spanish team as much as possible.

coming!

The main scorer of the Chinese team, right winger Garrincha!

At this moment, the head coach of the Spanish team stood up from his coach seat, and walked towards the sidelines slowly.He seemed to want to see clearly how some of the main scorers of the Chinese team took the ball from the wing to the penalty area of ​​the team he led.

This is not just a confrontation between the 22 players on the field, it is also a game between the coaches of the two teams.

Because the Chinese team gave up the middle and completely used the two sides as their main attacking positions against the Spanish team, the diamond-shaped midfield of the Spanish team had to be stretched to both sides to the maximum extent.

The Spanish team's two midfielders and a striker on the striker's trident participated in the defense this time.But I never thought that Lei Yi would suddenly stop and change direction when the opponent only gave a very small gap! !This boy with a pair of long and short legs did not follow the path given to him by the players of the Spanish team! !

He turned back!

At this time he was very close to the penalty area of ​​the Spanish team! !

With a seemingly inadvertent movement under his feet, Lei Yi successfully moved the ball to the middle! !Shen Tianhai, who was rushing forward, let the ball continue to go towards the left wing with a slight movement of his feet.

The ball was passed to the left winger Chilie Nima! !

When approaching the penalty area of ​​the Spanish team, the Chinese team, which gave up a large area in front of and behind the midfield line, once again completed the cooperation between the two sides! !

But that's not all!

After Chilie Nima took the ball two steps forward, he made a gesture to shoot towards the Spanish team's goal!but!What he finally accomplished... was a pass! !He returned the ball to the initiator of this round of attack, Lei Yi! !

This is really too beautiful pass-and-pass cooperation between the two sides! !

When Chilie Nima initiated the pass, the head coach of the Spanish team had a very shallow and meaningful smile on his face.

"Shoot!!!!!!!!!"

Along with the emotional chanting of the football commentator, all the fans watching the game in front of the TV saw the close-up picture of Lei Yi's shot from the live camera.

That was a very high-quality shot!It seemed light and fast, but it was because Lei Yi's footwork gave the ball a special spin that directly beat the Spanish team's goalkeeper out of temper.However, just as Lei Yi was about to take off his jersey and celebrate wildly, he saw the linesman's signal that the goal was invalid.

The line referee indicated that the goal was invalid because Lei Yi was offside before finishing the shot.

"Over, offside first?"

Lei Yi, who repeated these words, seemed a little dazed, so he pulled up the official Chinese team jersey on the outside, revealing the half-covered back of the jersey inside, from the side waist to the back. [JIALINCHA], but now half of the jersey has been taken off, and the goal that made him feel extremely happy has not been declared invalid.

Until this time, the smile on the face of the Spanish coach became deeper.

Yes, offside first, of course Garrincha will be offside first.

Because, after conducting in-depth research on the current Chinese team, he formulated strict offside tactics for the Spanish team.

The goalkeeper of this Spanish team may not be very strong.But the three central defenders reassured the head coach of the Spanish team.Especially... Laporte in the three central defenders.The Portuguese is now playing for Juventus in Serie A, and thus understands the essence of Italian defense.Perhaps, he was not able to build Italy's chain defense in the Spanish national team, but he was a real offside master.Moreover, he can command and coordinate the two central defenders other than him to make offside tactics at the right and necessary time.

When he judges that a player on the offensive side is going to hand the ball to another player who is likely to initiate a shot, he will direct the other two central defenders to move in the same direction, and let the player who is most likely to take the shot The attacking striker passing the ball is in a position closer to the goal than the last of them.

In this way, his offside was successful.

The offside rule that is used now, which in a sense greatly promoted the development of modern football, was indeed formulated and established in 1925.At this point, there is no difference between Garrincha and Pele, the two major symbols in Brazilian football history, when they were active in football.But after more than half a century of evolution, the current football is very different from the football of that era.

For example, in the era when Garrincha and Pele were active on the court, strikers were not protected by yellow cards and red cards.

For another example, starting from Italy's chain defense, football has created generation after generation of new defensive tactics.

Create an offside tactic.

This is obviously an area that no one has touched at that time.

Moreover, such defensive tactics are not popular in South America, which advocates offense.

So when Lei Yi encountered such a defensive tactic for the first time, he was stunned.

And those Chinese fans who came to the scene almost cheered, but they couldn't wait for the score change on the large scoreboard in the field.So the fans, who were completely confused about the situation, grabbed the people around them and anxiously asked what happened to the ball, whether it went in or not! ! !

Among the fans watching the TV broadcast, many people were annoyed by the offside first goal, and of course... many people were relieved by it.

Almost when the on-site director of this game gave the camera playback and offside line, the scene of another game in this group was switched in by the director of the TV station.That's exactly what Portugal scored against Honduras! !The players of the Portuguese team hugged together to celebrate this goal that meant a lot to them!

So, now the Iberian duo have taken the lead in the final round of the World Cup group stage! !

If they can maintain or even expand this lead, they will be able to take the initiative in the breakout battle of the group stage.

The Chinese fans who were paying attention to this game were caught off guard by an inexplicable surprise when they saw the picture of the Portuguese team celebrating after scoring a goal in the match against Honduras.The strong contrast between light and darkness, sadness and joy on the football field made many people feel a little unbearable for a while, and many emotional fans even cried at this moment.

Even though they know there is hope for them, sometimes, when that emotion comes, you feel like you can't rationally hold back your tears.
