Chapter One Hundred and Ten Difficult Times
Chapter 110: Tough Moments
"Macon and Kaka suddenly forced accelerator! Svensen was a little hesitant and was rushed over in an instant! If Svensen's position was so easily lost, then Sweden's backcourt would be very dangerous! It is extremely easy for Macon and Kaka to tear open Edman's defense line. When Stephen cannot return to defense in time, Brazil's chances of scoring will be very high!"
"Svenson - Oh! Svenson actually chose to put the shovel directly! Maikon was shoveled away! Yes, it was shoveled away! Maikon landed in great pain. He held his ankle and kept rolling on the ground. Maikon had been missing several games in Brazil due to his foot injury. Now, he has suffered such a blow again. I wonder if it will affect his old injury."
"Brazil players and players immediately surrounded them. Of course, they could not tolerate Svensen's hurting their teammates. Svensen also raised his hands with an expression like 'I didn't mean it', but this could not extinguish the anger in the opponent's heart."
"The referee Smitchell also ran over immediately to see what kind of treatment he would do - a red card! Smitchell showed Svensen a red card! Haha, the game is interesting now. Originally, Sweden was stronger than Brazil, but this red card made the game change. Can Sweden, which lacked one person, still control the initiative of the game?"
"Although Swedish players are very dissatisfied with the referee's decision, and many players argue with the referee, it is obvious that this is useless. Their captain Stephen is very calm. He stopped his teammates from doing this without actual effect, which can be regarded as accepting this result."
"From the slow motion, Svensen's tackle was indeed a very dangerous move, and he actually touched Maicon's foot, so it was no exaggeration to give him a red card, but Sweden was sent off just as the game started, which would have a great impact on the game. It also takes a lot of courage to show a red card at this time."
"Micong, who was tackled, has been carried to the court for treatment. It seems that he was injured this time. If he doesn't do it well, Brazil will also have to pay the price of a main player, but they still have a chance to substitute, and Sweden will not be there. In any case, Sweden has suffered a huge blow."
"Next, it depends on how Sweden deals with such a situation. Although they have encountered more and less, when they encounter this situation before, the strength of their opponents they face is not very strong. This time, when the opponent is replaced by Brazil, their pressure will be very great!"
With Svensen being sent off, the situation in Sweden became very bad. The situation of 10 to 11, and the opponent is Brazil's most difficult opponent, which has put Sweden in a very difficult situation. Even Wong Tai Sin saw that Sweden, this time, is hanging!
The formation of 4-1-3-1-1 was designated by Old Man Juyi based on Li Yun's characteristics. As this lineup gradually improved, it has completely become a set of tactics that revolve around Li Yun. The key to this tactic is to look at Li Yun's performance, and this performance is based on the support of Li Yun's teammates.
Once this lineup has problems with the four people around Li Yun in a certain stage, especially the midfielder, it will be a bad thing, because the four of them are the basis for ensuring that Li Yun can perform perfectly.
This time, Svensen was sent off, causing a gap on the left side of Sweden. Not only did he have a huge gap in defense, but even Li Yun could not receive the help provided by this side. In this situation, it can be said that it would not be so easy to exert the power of this lineup.
This time, Ragbek couldn't sit still. In this Federation Cup, this was the first time that the Swedish head coach stood up from his seat in the game and came to the sidelines.
However, even when he came to the sidelines, Ragbeck still did not give any instructions. He just stared at Li Yun who was bowing his head and thinking on the court, as if he wanted to see what decision Li Yun would make.
Li Yun quickly felt the coach's gaze, and then he waved his hand gently at Ragbeck, indicating that he could completely solve this dilemma on the court without having to worry about Ragbeck.
Seeing Li Yun like this, Ragbeck nodded gently, then turned around and sat back in his seat, and continued to pay attention to the game silently.
"Or don't do any instructions? Lars?"
Swedish assistant coach Sorensen asked Ragbeck that at such a special moment, ordinary coaches would give some instructions on the court or simply change the situation by substitution, but obviously, this coach who was silent in this game and did not want to do this.
"No!" Ragbeck shook his head, "This is a very good opportunity to test them. They have rarely encountered such a test. We should make full use of such a good opportunity!"
"And, there is nothing to worry about. With Stephen here, all the problems are not a problem! He will solve them well. We can just watch them off the court with peace of mind."
Ragbek had this idea. He wanted to achieve the goal of training players through this game, and also believed in Li Yun's ability. No matter how difficult the game was, Li Yun would definitely have a way to solve it. So he believed that they would definitely win the game in the end, not Brazil.
The reason is very simple. Brazil does not have the character Li Yun!
"Is it okay?"
After a round of treatment, Maikong also returned to the field. It seemed that the tackle just now did not cause him too fatal damage. Li Yun also came to Maikong and asked about the injury of the club teammate.
"Don't worry, it's okay!" Maikong grinned at Li Yun, "But, Stephen, you are missing one person now. We will definitely win this game!"
"Young man dreams! Even if you have one more person, I won't be afraid at all! Just let the horse come over!"
Li Yun narrowed his eyes, then patted Maicon on the back, and returned to the Swedish defense zone and was about to start defending.
After a chaotic game, the game started over again. From this time on, Brazil certainly had to strengthen its offense with all its strength. Originally, their tactical intention was to first let the players get into the state by controlling the ball, and then slowly look for opportunities, but this sudden gift changed their thinking and changed their playing style at once.
There is a shortage of people on the left side, so Li Yun naturally has to focus on the left side. However, in terms of position, he is still in the middle and does not play the left front guard. As for the position of the left front guard, Ibrahimovic will take the role.
Ibrahimovic's defense can only be described as a normal person. If he is allowed to play the left forward, at most it will play a role in delaying the opponent and will not block Brazil's offensive at all. However, this is enough, because in this way, Li Yun will have enough time to return to defense and take into account the left side.
However, in this case, even if Sweden's defense can stand the test for the time being, due to the lack of Li Yun in the offense, Sweden's offense basically disappeared. This time, Brazil's ball possession rate still maintained the same situation as before, close to 70%, but it was many times higher than the value just now - it was no longer a round-trip back and forth, but a complete and effective attack.
"The ball friend moved to the right, and now it is Macon who controls the ball. His Inter Milan teammate Ibrahimovic stepped forward to look for defense. But Macon didn't go to see Ibrahimovic at all, but directly passed the ball to Ibrahimovic's side and passed it to Kaka."
"After Kaka got the ball, he immediately took the ball forward, and Ibrahimovic also chased back, but Ibrahimovic's chase still did not have any effect. Kaka passed the ball again and passed the ball to Makon again."
"Maicon didn't give Ibrahimovic any chance this time. He accelerated the ball and threw it away, and then rushed forward. However, their movements were still a little slow, giving Stephen a chance. He rushed over and broke Maicon's ball out of the sideline, and the ball was out of bounds."
"Although this attack did not succeed, Brazil has completely taken the initiative on the field. They kept attacking Sweden's left, putting Sweden's defense under tremendous pressure. Under this pressure, Sweden has no ability to counterattack at all. Stephen was completely limited to the defense line and could not make any moves to attack."
"In this case, even if Sweden can temporarily ensure that its goal is not broken, it must always be in a passive situation. This is very dangerous and something that Sweden has not faced for a long time in the past. If you don't think about countermeasures to solve it now, it will be very difficult for Sweden to win this game!"
Yes, Wong Tai Sin said nothing wrong. Sweden is now very dangerous. They can be said to have been completely suppressed by Brazil, very thoroughly! This is something that Sweden has never encountered in the past for a long time. If this situation continues, the probability of Sweden losing will be very high!
And at this moment, Brazil gave Sweden another blow!
After the ball was blocked by Li Yun, Maicon threw the ball directly on the spot and handed it to Ronaldo who came to pick up. Since Brazil has been attacking Sweden's left side during this period, Ronaldo's role was only a transit station and did not undertake too many tasks.
But this time, Ronaldo's sudden appearance was not just for a transfer!
"It's time!"
In fact, Brazil has been waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to pose a fatal blow to Sweden, and the successive attacks on the left are actually just a cover. The real killer move is actually on the other side!
If Li Yun thinks that Brazil's attack focus is on this side and puts all his energy on the left, then Brazil's opportunity has really come. And this time, when Ronaldo saw that Li Yun did not return to the middle lane this time, but stayed on this side to guard against himself and devote himself to the attack, he knew that the opportunity has really come!
With the ball passed in the middle, Ronaldo ran forward immediately, creating the illusion that they would continue to attack Sweden's left, making Li Yun dare not move easily, and could only continue to stay on the left and guard against the Brazilian players.
However, Ze Roberto, who got the ball in the middle, did not pass the ball back. He dribbled the ball directly over the center circle and approached the dangerous area in Sweden.
At this time, the center of Sweden, besides two central defenders, was only Lindrot. Although Larson also returned to defense, he was still behind Ze Roberto and could not interfere with the opponent.
Seeing his opponent coming, Lindrot hurriedly rushed towards the opponent and prevented Ze Roberto from continuing to move forward. Ze Roberto also followed Lindrot's idea and did not make things difficult for him, but he made a decision that made Sweden even more difficult - passing the ball directly to Robinho on the left.
This made Robinho escape from Lyonberg's entanglement, and then received an accurate pass from Ze Roberto during the run, and then dribbled the ball towards the biggest loophole in the Swedish defense - Lucici.
In the last showdown with Brazil, Lucici was completely beaten by Brazil. However, at that time, Sweden was not afraid of conceding a goal at all. This time, Sweden tried his best not to let Brazil score a goal. However, when Sweden's defense focused on the left, Lucici's part would be exposed to the opponent's gun again.
"Left? Right?"
There was no way, Lucici could only judge Robinho's breakthrough direction again by relying on his "sixth sense". However, this time, he did not make the last mistake. He placed his main strength on the route to prevent his opponent from cutting inward.
Robinho also saw Lucici's meaning, so he did not choose to cut in. Instead, after making a fake move, he directly broke through from the other side of Lucici.
Although he did not achieve the goal of cutting inward, Robinho still relied on his own speed advantage. Before reaching the bottom line, he suddenly made a forced cutting inward. Under the interference of Lucici, who turned around and chased back, he passed the ball to the middle.
At this time, Ade had already run and leaned against Melberry. However, Melberry was not so easy to deal with, and he didn't give Ade a chance to attack easily.
Unable to attack directly cannot completely stop Ade, because Ade can also do the ball. When he was in Inter Milan, he often made the ball for Li Yun like this, and this time, he did the same thing.
Taking a step forward, in a not-so-good position, Adr headed the ball gently and rubbed the ball backwards. At that position, Ze Roberto, who had just passed the ball for Robinho, was already running in place.
"Come in!"
The Brazilian veteran shot when he met the ball, and withdrew a very beautiful arc with the arch of his left foot, directly crossed Melbery and others, then crossed Isaxon's desperate arm, then crossed the goal line, and gently landed in the net.
“yeah!!!”
As the ball entered the net, all the Brazilian fans jumped up excitedly. They had been looking forward to the ball for too long, and they were also very clear about the huge significance of the ball.
Sweden was sent off one person early, and Brazil also took the initiative on the court, causing Sweden to completely fall into a passive defense. At this time, as long as Brazil can take the lead in breaking Sweden's goal, it can completely control the initiative in its own hands.
If Sweden pushes out the offense to equalize the score at this time, Brazil will get more opportunities for defensive counterattacks, and take advantage of the number of players to continue to expand the score. If Sweden is not in a hurry to attack and continues to stabilize the situation with defense first, Brazil will be easier, and it can also use this opportunity to find opportunities to score goals.
In any case, Brazil's advantage will become even more obvious as soon as this goal is scored. If Sweden cannot tie the score in a short period of time, then Sweden will really get closer to their first defeat in three years.
"It's not easy to deal with, Stephen!"
Looking at the Brazilian player celebrating wildly, Ibrahimovic looked at Li Yun with a serious expression.
"I know."
Li Yun responded lightly, his face was unprecedentedly ugly at this time.
I don’t know how long it has been. Maybe the last time I encountered such a situation was in Ausselle. Since joining Inter Milan, Li Yun has never encountered such a dangerous moment again. It is absolutely difficult to save the situation at this time. No matter what, it is beneficial to Brazil and Sweden.
If we can quickly tie the score at this time, it will alleviate the difficult situation in Sweden, and at least it will make Bi return to the situation he had just now.
Thunder beast is certainly a good idea, but if the Thunder beast is used, it will inevitably put Li Yun under a considerable physical pressure. In this game, Li Yun will definitely fight with his opponent to the end, because Sweden lacks one person, and if he uses a powerful kill like Thunder beast, he doesn't know if Li Yun can hold on until the end.
Therefore, the best way is to recover the score through ordinary offenses rather than to go to extremes. However, it is not that easy to score goals through regular offenses.
There was not much time, and before Li Yun could think clearly, the referee had already urged Sweden to kick off the ball. There was no way, and Li Yun could only choose to use a normal method in the end, it depends on his luck. Whether it would work.
However, Sweden and Li Yun's luck are obviously not very good today. This time, including the next attack, Li Yun and his teammates did not successfully create any scoring opportunities. First, Ibrahimovic's strong attack was broken out of the baseline by Lucio, and then Melbery's header was higher than the crossbar. Then, Lyonberg's breakthrough created a dangerous situation, but when he finally made a cross, he was blocked by Juan with his body.
Chapter completed!
