Chapter 468 Gain the upper hand

Before the start of the World Cup final, the Brazilians seemed to have known the final result and prepared for the carnival early.On Copacabara Beach, the world's most famous beach in Rio de Janeiro, the Brazilians erected an 18-square-meter large screen made with a special process, and everyone was waiting for it to bring the good news of Brazil's five championships.

Since the final was half a world away in Yokohama, the Brazilians were eating breakfast when the game kicked off.But this does not prevent the Brazilian National Amusement Association from preparing as soon as possible. Their custom-made large screen can ensure that fans can still see the game under the sunlight. They also spent money to invite samba entertainers to prepare for the event Carnival add to the fun.In short, everything is ready now, only the good news of Brazil's victory is missing.

Few fans would think of another result, in their view Brazil's victory is beyond doubt.

"We hope that 20000 people will gather here," Ferreira, the organizer of the carnival, said confidently. After the war between Britain and Pakistan, they attracted about 15000 people. this number.Governments at all levels in Brazil have announced that there will be no holiday on Monday, regardless of the outcome of Sunday's final.That is to say, to warn the citizens not to make noise too late on Sunday, and to sleep when it is time to sleep.

Even many foreign media have already set up their camera positions, preparing to shoot this rare carnival scene. Movie theaters in major cities in Brazil are preparing to stage celebration dramas, waiting for fans to visit.

It can be seen that from the Brazilian government to the ordinary Brazilian people, everyone agrees that the Brazilian team will win in the end and take home the Hercules Cup.And the goal scored by Ronaldo after the start of the second half really caused half of Brazil to fall into a carnival. Even at the peak of working, this No. 9 player with Afu's head almost became Brazil God in the eyes of man.

In this World Cup, apart from Ronaldo's seven wonderful goals so far, the most impressive thing is probably the "tile head".Whether the Brazilians call it a "short bald unicorn", or his hair stylist called it a "fashion model", in short, his bald outfit with a triangular forehead has also been imitated by many fans. , and the media spared no effort to report on it.

However, Ronaldo himself was a little bit annoyed by this, because it was really a helpless move for him to cut this hairstyle. Facing the persistent questioning of Brazilian reporters, Ronaldo finally told the truth.Ronaldo said: "Why did I cut my hair like this? Because once I called home, Elena (Ronaldo's wife) told me that Ronaldo (Ronaldo's son) had walked in front of the TV Kissing 'me' on the screen and saying out loud 'this is my daddy' but in fact, that person wasn't me at all, it was my teammate Carlos! Can you imagine how I felt at that time? So I said to Elena said, I will never allow this to happen again, and I must take some action to change everything."

Although he was aggrieved, Ronaldo still apologized for the fact that his "tile head" was emulated by young Brazilians: "It seems that many mothers are angry with me. I think they have their reasons. But I Also unintentional, I hope they can forgive me.

But at this time Ronaldo and the vast number of Brazilian fans really couldn't maintain their good mood, because when the Italians equalized the score again, the high morale made them play a wave of offense. Brazil's defense finally showed signs of exhaustion.The five unknown players couldn't bear the pressure at the most critical moment.

Compared with Rivaldo and Ronaldinho, who performed mediocrely in this game, Piero, the historical "weakness" of the Italian team, showed his strong offensive desire and wolfishness, constantly catching the ball and passing the ball. Man, looking for opportunities to shoot made him the most terrifying weapon in the Italian formation.And Kenny behind him is the best ammunition carrier. Although his physical strength is about to bottom out in the high-intensity confrontation, so are the two midfielders in the Brazilian formation on the other side. Therefore, in general With the cooperation of Maldini, Kenny is still able to continue to exert pressure.

Who will be the champion of this World Cup?This question, which was as difficult to solve as Goldbach's conjecture ten years ago, is now the simplest and most practical multiple-choice question, and the Italians have completely gained the upper hand.At this moment, no matter from the offensive ability of the whole team or the personal ability of the players, the balance of victory has indeed tilted towards the Italians.

More importantly, gradually, the Italians, who have fully adapted to the Brazilian team's style of play, have almost covered the entire life of the Brazilian team.At present, the defensive players of the Brazilian team have slow turns and inflexible movements. They are most afraid of fast and skilled forwards, and the Italian team is a rare team in this World Cup that just fits this point.

The South Korean team failed to beat the Italian team, in addition to lack of strength, because the South Korean team's forwards were thin and slightly rough in technique; A striker in Italy's world-class defense.The weaknesses of the South Korean and Western teams, although they do not exist in the Brazilian team, needless to say the technical level of the Brazilian 3R combination, and Ronaldo and Rivaldo are physically strong, and the strength of the three is average, but their defense and midfield. is the biggest problem.

So at this moment, Italy not only hit the sore spot of the Brazilian team's defense, but also effectively restrained the Italian team's offense, which is why Ronaldo couldn't be happy.

In this cup, the three central defenders of the Brazilian team are tall and strong, and they can effectively contain teams like Spain that play bottom passes. Moreover, the speed of Cafu and Carlos on the two wings will also make the enemy two The full-back had scruples and did not dare to press out easily.

However, this problem will not appear in the Italians. The almost perfect striker combination with no dead ends is definitely higher than the Brazilians in terms of overall strength. Jiyi or Montella can firmly restrict the Brazilian central defender.Secondly, Kenny's speed on the wing and the presence of Maldini greatly restricted the Brazilian's two-wing tactics.

When Cafu meets the Maldini corridor, it may be [-]-[-], but what about adding a Kenny?

Therefore, at the moment, Brazil is playing against Italy as if they are tied hands and feet, choking the vital points, and it is difficult to have room to display. As for the goal, it is the personal ability of the Brazilian stars!

Seeing the players' offensive becoming more and more fierce, and their coordination and playing style becoming more and more smooth, and even handy, Italian coach Zoff kept nodding on the sidelines, and at the same time shouted for Totti to maintain his suppression .It is to divide the 3R with a compact formation and an overall pressing. Relying on the local numerical advantage, it is difficult for the Brazilian players to display their outstanding personal abilities, let alone when their own players are not inferior to them.

Another unfavorable factor for the Brazilian team is pressure. Since the media is generally optimistic about the Brazilian team, it is difficult to guarantee that the Brazilian players will not be burdened with wanting to win and afraid of losing. This was the case when they lost to the French team in the last final.In contrast, the mentality of the Italian team, which is largely underestimated, will be much more relaxed, and history has proved countless times that the more such an Italian team is, the more terrifying it is.

Brazil coach Scolari has obviously seen this. He took advantage of the throw-in time to recruit Cafu and kept telling him and the rest of the players to let go of their thoughts of gain and loss and encourage them to enjoy football. He did not want to see In 1998, the tragedy of the Brazilian team being knocked down by himself in the final was repeated again.But sometimes once the situation on the court deviates from the original expectation, no matter how hard you try to bring it back, there is nothing you can do.

"Kani and Totti made continuous cooperation. They easily passed through the Brazilian's empty midfield and pressed towards the edge of the penalty area! Facing Lucio's replacement, Kenny took the ball with his back and Totti Did Dee really choose to pass it on to his friends!?"

"Oh! It's so beautiful! At the moment of receiving the ball, Kenny unexpectedly picked the ball to the right with his left foot, then turned left and passed the ball, sneaked into the penalty area, and pushed the goal far away horn!!"

"It's a pity! The ball rubbed against the post and went out of the sliding door. This situation made all the Brazilian fans nervous and breathless! The situation changed too quickly for them to accept!"

The increasingly courageous Italian made it difficult for the Brazilian team to parry. Due to Kenny's continuous efforts to send two high-quality and extremely threatening passes in a row, Brazil's goal appeared twice in a row, and even once It was because Vieri missed the ball that the Brazilian escaped.Seeing such a dangerous situation on the court, Scolari couldn't sit still anyway.

In the previous game, he used the separation of offense and defense to allow 3R to play freely, assisting with dual cards to cooperate, but this time when 3R misfired two, Ronaldo could not single-handedly break through the top line of defense composed of Italians However, he had no choice but to personally dismantle the 3R combination he came up with against all opinions.

Scolari knew he couldn't lose. After refusing to let Romario enter the national team, he had already become the target of public criticism in the eyes of the media. If he fell at the last moment of the final at this moment, it would even be so ugly to lose at the last moment , that would be bad!
