"How was it? After playing half a game with them, what new insights did you gain?"
In the Brazilian team's locker room, head coach Marcos Hoerna crossed his arms and leaned next to the tactical board to ask his players.
Everyone looked at each other in shock, and finally captain Leonardo Kevil stood up and said: "They are stronger than we thought."
Hoehner spread his hands: "Yes. No matter how much you say before the game, you still have to experience it yourself to know what kind of team they are. After the first half, you should already know that this is not a team that can be
An opponent that is easy to deal with. In terms of paper strength... yes, the Chinese team is the weakest in this group. But you have also played against Algeria, so you should be able to feel the difference between the two teams."
Everyone nodded thoughtfully.
In the last group match, they played Algeria. Although Algeria was very fierce at the beginning and fought very actively. The high press almost rushed to the Brazilian goalkeeper Lemos.
It's like you can't use up all your physical energy.
But when the Brazilian team faced Algeria's high press, they didn't feel too much pressure.
They used fast passing and cutting in a small area, mobilized the Algerian players who were as excited as chickens, and then suddenly moved the football out and increased the speed!
It is easy to hit the football to Algeria's vital points.
In the process of running back and forth with its nose pulled, Algeria's physical energy consumption further increased and loopholes appeared frequently.
Eventually it completely collapsed.
If the Brazilian team hadn't slowed down significantly at the last moment and stopped playing, the score would have been more than 4:0.
In comparison, the game against the Chinese team is a completely different feeling.
The Chinese team will not actively press high in the frontcourt. After they lose the ball in the frontcourt, they will only arrange a symbolic press for one person, and other players will quickly retreat, trying to get back to the ball as quickly as possible.
in his own defensive position.
However, they are very active in defending in their own backcourt. It is not as simple as just standing still. They run back and forth, carry out various assist defenses and supplementary defenses, ensuring that they always have a local advantage in terms of defensive numbers.
This detail alone is enough to show that the Chinese team plays smarter.
They know that pressing high will only give Brazil more space to use their pace.
"They positioned themselves so quickly. On the one hand, they want to prevent the space behind them from being exploited by us. On the other hand, they also hope to get more opportunities to counterattack. So in the second half, we have to be careful about their speed on both sides. Their eleven
Both No. 1 and No. 9 are players with speed advantages..."
Based on the Chinese team's counterattacks in the first half, Hoerner told the players how they should play in the second half.
On the other side, in the locker room of the Chinese team, Shi Wuyin was waving his fist to encourage the players: "We performed very well in the first half. Just play like this. When defending, you must recover quickly and don't tangle with them in the frontcourt.
The Brazilian team has a technical advantage. We may need two or three people to surround one person. This will only make our formation more advanced and ultimately give the opponent a chance to move through our defense... Try to be as concise as possible when attacking.
Some, make more diagonal long passes to hit their spaces... In short, don't think about playing with them in the midfield and frontcourt, use our speed to impact them! The players on their defense are very famous, but they lack tacit understanding.
, relying more on individual abilities for defense rather than collaboration. So as long as we can continuously attack the links between them, we may not be able to open a gap!"

"Friends in the audience, welcome to follow the camera back to the Pasadena Stadium in Los Angeles... The second half of the game has begun. The two sides changed sides and played again. No one made substitutions. The two teams can be said to be evenly matched in the first half... For China
For the team, this is a very high evaluation... Let's see what the Chinese team can do in the second half..."
He Feng sat on the commentary table and looked down.
Around him are commentators from all over the world.
It is obvious that today's game has a larger commentator lineup than the Chinese team's previous two games.
It shows that this game attracts more attention.
He Feng certainly wouldn't think that it was because the Chinese team was undefeated in the first two group matches that it attracted so much attention.
The main reason is of course the Brazilian team.
This is the master that brings its own traffic.
He Feng could conclude that more than half of the people in the commentary box and media box were here for the Brazilian team.
The Chinese team took advantage of the Brazilian team and was able to appear in the eyes of the world.
This is an excellent opportunity for Chinese football to gain traffic and advertise.
I hope the boys can play at a high level and with style, and show the progress of our Chinese football in front of the world. If this can attract the attention and interest of high-level European football regions, more people will be able to play after this World Cup.
Go abroad...then the advertising effect has been achieved!

After the start of the second half of the game, the Chinese team continued the same style of play as in the first half. Shi Wuyin basically did not make any adjustments to the tactics. After all, the first half of the game proved that this set of tactics was effective, so there was no need to adjust anything.
After tightening the fence, they frequently used the space behind the Brazilian team to attack quickly for quick counterattacks.
The Brazilian team did not hesitate in the backcourt because of the Chinese team's counterattack. They still insisted on their offensive football style even though they knew what the Chinese team would do.
This is not because they are stupid, but because they have extremely strong confidence in their football ability.
I firmly believe that in the face of their powerful offensive firepower, the Chinese team's little tricks will never succeed!
Judging from the actual game, the attack launched by the Brazilian team after the start of the second half was indeed more threatening.
Taking advantage of the Chinese team's transition between offense and defense, Kabangka suddenly made a through pass after taking the ball, hitting the weak spot in the Chinese team's back line.
The two forwards of the Brazilian team were in the middle to contain the defender of the Chinese team.
Left midfielder Tonini received the pass in space and dribbled the ball into the Chinese team's penalty area.
Then faced with Lin Zhiyuan's attack, he chose to shoot with one kick.
The football flew over Lin Zhiyuan's body and went straight to the back corner of the goal!
Just when the Chinese fans screamed, thinking that the goal was about to go in, the football hit the far goal post, bounced back, and was saved by the Chinese team's left back Jiao Qirui who returned to defense!
"Ah! What a danger! The Chinese team escaped! Just now during the transition between offense and defense, the Chinese team players were briefly inattentive... Be careful! This is the World Cup, and the opponent is the world champion Brazil team. Let's go a little bit.
If you lose your mind, you may make a big mistake! When competing against such an opponent, you can't even slack off for a second!"
At the commentary table, He Feng said with lingering fear.
Tonini put his head in his hands and stared at the goal post with wide eyes. He never expected that such a beautiful shot of his would be rejected by the goal post!
"The Brazilian team's offensive has picked up during this period. Our players must pay special attention to withstand their attack...and then use the space behind them to counterattack. They cannot completely retreat and allow the Brazilian players to organize attacks in our half.
Something will happen if that happens!" Yan Kang said anxiously.
Shi Wuyin on the sidelines also had a solemn look on his face, standing alone outside the coach's command area.
He could see that after the start of the second half, the Brazilian team significantly strengthened its attack and wanted to use a more violent offensive to completely crush the Chinese team's defense. After losing the depth space, it would be difficult for the Chinese team to defend the Brazilian team's attack...
...Because the Brazilian players have skills and speed, whether they are passing or dribbling, they can easily penetrate the Chinese team's defense.
But he had no better way and couldn't make any targeted adjustments.
We can only hope that the Chinese players on the field can withstand the Brazilian team's offensive after the opening.

"It's okay, it's okay!" Yan Yan suddenly said in the group, "Wasting opportunities will be punished. The Brazilian team wasted this opportunity, and it's our turn to fight back!"
"That's it, fight back against them!"
"Now the Brazilian team's backcourt is empty. As long as we can play the football..."
Everyone in the group was talking a lot and making suggestions for the Chinese team.
On TV, the game is still going on.
Dudu Carlos was pressing forward with the ball, and Zhang Qinghuan went up to defend him.
Kevel suddenly made a diagonal pass from behind Dudu at high speed. Instead of going to the wing, he ran towards the middle!
Dudu passed the football diagonally into the path of Kievel's running.
A full-back did not advance along the sideline, but came to the center, which immediately disrupted the Chinese team's defensive arrangement in the midfield.
Hu Lai struggled to catch up behind him, but the distance between the two was too far, and Hu Lai's speed did not have the advantage, so it was completely useless.
Xia Xiaoyu dropped Kabangka and rushed forward.
Upon seeing this, Kabangka quickly moved diagonally to the top of the penalty arc.
Facing Xia Xiaoyu who came up to defend, Kevel stepped on his bicycle!
Xia Xiaoyu stretched out his foot to destroy the ball, but Keevel seized the opportunity and stabbed the football over first!
The football passed under Xia Xiaoyu's crotch and rolled towards Kabangka who was pulling away!
Kabangka originally had his back to the attacking direction. When he saw the football coming, he turned around and raised his left foot to catch the ball.
Luo Kai returned to defense at high speed and finally reached behind Kabangka. He did not slow down, but went around Kabangka, trying to take advantage of his opportunity to approach from behind and stab the football away, catching Kabangka off guard.
!
But Kabangka looked like he had eyes in the back of his head. He stepped on the football with his left foot and pulled it back!
Luo Kai, who was struggling to stretch his legs, lost his balance and fell to the ground. He still kept his tackle posture and slid past Kabangka...
"Danger!"
Kabangka dodged past Luo Kai and then used the instep of his left foot to gently move the football to the left front of his body. Then he only took a small step forward, raised his left leg and shot directly at the top of the penalty arc!
"Cabonca!!" the Brazilian commentator began to chant in a long voice.
Amid the chants, the football drew a clear arc, bypassed Lin Zhiyuan's fingers in the air, flew into the goal against the inside of the near post!
The chant ends and the ultimate move is released!
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!"
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!"
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!! Ka! Bang! Ka!! Ka Bangka!!! The perfect combination of power and technology! This is his second goal in this World Cup! In the 52nd minute, we scored again
Lead!"
He Feng and Yan Kang held their heads in their hands in the commentary box: "This shot... was so tricky! From catching the ball and getting rid of it to kicking the shot, there was almost no time to adjust. They swung their legs in place to exert force, and still
To be able to hit with such force... you are truly worthy of being Kendall Kabangka!"
"The Chinese team didn't actually make too many defensive mistakes in this goal...it was completely overwhelmed by Kabangca's personal ability...he single-handedly turned an ordinary attack by the Brazilian team into a goal."
Although they were painful and frustrated about losing the goal, the two Chinese commentators had to sincerely praise their opponents in the face of such a beautiful goal.
Countless Chinese fans in front of the TV could only sigh and have nothing to say when they saw this ball.
This is the Brazilian team that has won six World Cup titles!
