340 The Death of the Aliens

"Rister, the performance of the Czech Republic is really wonderful."

Jochen Leitz talked excitedly with Lister during the halftime break. Jochen Leitz is very proud now, not ordinary proud. Adidas, so what if you are a World Cup partner? The two teams in the World Cup finals are now

The competition between Nike and Puma. Germany, Argentina and France supported by Adidas all performed mediocrely.

France and Argentina, who were the favorites before the game, did not even appear in the group stage, while Germany was not successful as a whole and was eventually eliminated by the Czech Republic. Adidas suffered heavy losses in this World Cup. Adidas has invested so much in the past two years for this World Cup.

More than one billion US dollars. Not only did it sponsor the world's top teams such as Germany, Argentina, and France, but even the Chinese team that entered the World Cup finals for the first time was sponsored by Adidas.

Not only the national team, among the players playing in this World Cup, Adidas sponsored more than 100 players. Coupled with the sponsorship in cooperation with the World Football Federation, Adidas really spent too much money. Adidas was originally planning to rely on this

The World Cup made a lot of money. However, the performance of the teams sponsored by Adidas was too poor.

Because France and Argentina, which had high hopes, were both eliminated in the group stage. The combined sales of jerseys of their two national teams was less than 600,000 pieces. This number is simply a big shame. It can be said that the World Cup in Korea and Japan is a huge success for Adidas.

of Waterloo.

Adidas's rival, Nike, does not sponsor many national teams. However, Nike captured a strong Brazilian team. Brazil stumbled in the qualifying rounds. However, it made rapid progress in the World Cup and has already entered the World Cup finals. Sponsored by Adidas

In the World Cup, Nike defeated Adidas with the Brazilian national team. In 1994, Nike used the Brazilian team to sweep the teams sponsored by Adidas, causing Adidas to lose face. Unexpectedly, eight years later,

Nike once again used the Brazilian team to destroy Adidas.

The Czech national team sponsored by Puma has been soaring all the way, attracting countless attention during the World Cup. Including Senna, Rosicky, Nedvěd, Boboski, and Jankol who performed well, their jersey sales have exceeded all other players.

According to statistics so far, the Czech national team's jersey sales have exceeded 1.2 million pieces during the World Cup. Among them, the most sold jerseys are the jerseys of Pavel Nedved and Rosicky.

The current sales price of the Czech national team jersey is not very high, but because it is a World Cup jersey, the price has reached 34 euros. Sales have reached 35 million euros. And from current statistics. The Czech national team jersey

The sales volume of the team's jerseys is still growing. Jochen Leitz is already smiling from ear to ear. He knows that once the Czech Republic wins the World Cup, Puma's direct revenue will exceed hundreds of millions.

, as for some long-term income, it is simply unimaginable.

Jochen Leitz was excited when he thought about Adidas's disastrous defeat. So during the halftime break, Jochen Leitz's spirit was very high.

"Jochen Puma will soon increase the amount of sponsorship."

Riester is in a good mood now. Because in the first half, the two sides played back and forth with a score of 2 to 2. This means that the Czech side is hopeful. Because for Brazil, their biggest reliance is the three-R combination in the frontcourt.

, and there are Carlos and Cafu on the wing. Apart from them, the strength of the midfield and backfield is too weak. The Czech Republic has enough ability to defeat Brazil.

"You should know. Adidas has invested more than one billion in this World Cup. For companies like us, we don't care about sponsorship fees. As long as we have enough results, sponsorship fees are not a big problem."

Jochen Leitz nodded. The contract with the Czech Republic has not ended. In fact, there is still one year left. But Jochen Leitz knows that sometimes it is necessary to take the initiative. Now that the Czech Republic has such good results, and Jochen Leitz's Puma analysis, the Czech Republic

The performance of the Czech Republic can still be strong for a while. Until Nedved, Boboski and other golden generations retire, the performance of the Czech Republic will not fluctuate too much. Therefore, Jochen Leitz hopes to continue with the Czech Republic.

Maintain a cooperative relationship. Don’t be stingy with the money you should give.

"Let's go, the second half has begun."

…………

The second half began. The Czech Republic was still able to control the midfield. Gilberto Silva always stayed close to Rivaldo and prevented him from playing freely. Senna controlled the rhythm of the game. Plus Nedved

, although Rosicky is famous enough, they are all willing to fight for it.

Needless to say, Nedvěd can be called the "Iron Man" and his physical strength is needless to say. Although Rosicky is an offensive genius with a cool style of play, he loves to fight harder than anyone else. He can go up when attacking.

, and can also come back when defending. It is absolutely rare for a talented player like Rosicky to be able to actively fight and even be willing to tackle. Only Rosicky can be so desperate.

Just look at Ronaldinho, Rivaldo and Ronaldo on the opposite side and you will understand. Geniuses of their level take great care of their bodies and will not do anything "disgraceful".

But the Czech side is different. In this situation of ebb and flow, the control of the midfield belongs to the Czech Republic. Instead, Brazil began to play defensive counterattacks, but for Scolari, he is also very good at defensive counterattacks. Scolari is also very good at defensive counterattacks.

Larry is a very pragmatic head coach among Brazilian coaches, so he immediately changed his style of play. Defensive counterattack, Brazil's defensive counterattack is very scary. It is really scary, because their frontcourt players are too strong individually.

But Brazil also has a very weak point. That is that Kleberson and Vampeta are too weak to effectively organize a counterattack. If it weren't for Kleberson and Vampeta, they would have players like Xabi Alonso later.

, for a player like Senna of the Czech Republic, Brazil's counterattacks are really accurate. Unfortunately, Kleberson and Vanpeta are not that type of players. Therefore, Brazil does not have many opportunities to counterattack.

The Czech Republic controlled the tempo of the game, but was unable to score. Brazil wanted to defend and counterattack, but did not have outstanding organizational talents in the midfield. Therefore, counterattacks could not be carried out, and the game fell into a balance. The game slowed down in such a strange balance.

It passed slowly. Seventy minutes had passed.

"Jankulovski, cross... The ball was not passed well, and Junior pushed the ball away."

Because there were not many ways, the Czech Republic adopted the method of passing from the wing. Who allowed the Czech Republic to have Jankol, and the players on the wing kept passing the ball. No matter how bad the cross effect was, as long as Jankol was there, there would be danger. Even directly

Crosses from a 45-degree angle can create chaos for Brazil's defense. This time, Jankulovsky's cross was of average quality under the interference of Cafu, but Junior still did not dare to neglect to top the ball.

Got out.

"Ronaldinho, picked with his left foot! Rivaldo, Rivaldo got the ball."

Because the Czech Republic was compressed in the half court, Ronaldinho and Rivaldo were both in their own half. Ronaldinho came to the path of the ball. But because Senna was followed behind him, Ronaldinho

Nardinho didn't have many chances. At this time, he played a difficult move and picked it with the heel of his left foot. Using this unconventional method, he handed the ball to Rivaldo behind him. This unconventional method

Passing the ball, Senna behind was unable to judge.

"Rivaldo. Direct pass!"

After Rivaldo got the ball, there was no delay for a moment, because Rivaldo already fully understood the strength and characteristics of Gilberto Silva who was defending him. As long as there was a little delay, Gilberto Silva would

Once he gets close to him, it will be difficult to get rid of Gilberto Silva. Moreover, Rivaldo has been observing Ronaldo's position, and after receiving the ball, he directly passes the ball.

"Ronaldo. Ronaldo. Ronaldo successfully countered offside. Ronaldo is very fast. Who said that Ronaldo, who has returned from a serious injury, can no longer run like before, it is just to protect himself when it is not necessary. Ronaldo still has shocking speed and explosive power.

"

The commentators were excited when they saw Ronaldo. It’s hard not to be excited. Ronaldo performed very well in this game. But the first goal was a supplementary shot, and the second goal was Ronaldo’s shooting skills. Ronaldo did not show his sensation in the world in this game.

The ability to run long distances in football.

But this time it was different. After Rivaldo passed the ball, Ronaldo suddenly accelerated, allowing people to see Ronaldo's peak strength. It was originally between Uyfalusi and Rozenar, but after he accelerated, he quickly

He surpassed them. Ronaldo quickly caught up with the ball and it became a one-on-one shot. Uyfalusi and Rozenar were directly thrown away by him five or six meters away.

"Ronaldo, Ronaldo is one-on-one, one-on-one. It's already the seventy-sixth minute. If Ronaldo scores, Brazil will lead the Czech Republic again. Cech strikes. Ronaldo, shoot! Beautiful."

"Hat trick, hat trick...this..."

The commentator's excited explanation came to an abrupt end. When Ronaldo rushed forward, Cech saw Ronaldo about to shoot and had already pounced on it. Ronaldo saw Cech pounce on the ball and gently picked the ball over.

If he was twenty years old, Ronaldo would easily pass Cech and then shoot the ball into the empty goal. However, after returning from a serious injury, Ronaldo is no longer able to make continuous acceleration movements. He is very careful now because he

To protect himself, he chose a very simple shooting action this time.

Cech was already desperate when he saw Ronaldo's shot, and Ujfalusi and Rozenar who followed him were also desperate. The Brazilian fans above all stood up and were ready to cheer, while the Czech fans couldn't help but close their eyes.

Eyes. Ronaldo himself was very confident after shooting.

But just when everyone was looking forward to another player scoring a hat-trick in the World Cup finals after the England star Hurst, something unexpected happened. Because the ball did not roll into the goal, but hit the goal post.

Then it bounced out, just a little bit short. Ujfalusi was so shocked that he immediately handed the ball to Jankulovski on the left.

"What a pity. Ronaldo almost became the second player in the history of world football to score a hat-trick in a World Cup final. How could this goal not be scored? It's such a pity."

It was a pity that the commentator was there, and Cech could only let out a long sigh of relief after standing up. Just now he thought that the goal would definitely be scored. Ronaldo couldn't help but cover his head. This is simply a pity,

This opportunity was much better than the previous two. Ronaldo couldn't believe that the ball didn't go in. The Brazilian fans all sighed.

"beep--"

No one had thought about it, and even when the broadcast camera was always focused on Ronaldo and Cech, the referee's whistle sounded. At this time, the camera turned to the other side, and the referee was taking out a yellow card to warn Vampeta.

Quickly replay what happened just now. When everyone was lamenting Ronaldo's goal, Jankulovski received the pass from Ujfalusi, and Jankulovski handed the ball to the player in front.

Nedved. Because Cafu was defending, Nedved handed the ball to Rosicky in the center.

One of the biggest characteristics of Rosicky after getting the ball is his sudden acceleration and breakthrough. This time is no exception, because many people are immersed in the regret that Ronaldo did not score just now. At this time, Rosicky suddenly accelerated his breakthrough from the center. It was Vampeta again.

Come up, but Rosicky didn't take Vampeta seriously at all. The game was already over seventy minutes, almost eighty minutes. Rosicky tried nine dribbles, eight of which were successful. Of these eight attempts, six were successful.

The next time we passed Vampeta in front of us.

This time was no exception. Rosicky was running at high speed and made a breakthrough from the right. After Vampetta was fooled, he immediately broke through from the left. It was a very simple routine, but Vampetta was beaten badly by Rosicky in this game.

Now. Rosicky is almost uninhabited in Brazil's midfield. Neither Kleberson nor Vanpeta can stop Rosicky.

Vampeta was a little angry this time, of course because after passing Vampeta, he directly threatened the Brazilian defense. So Vampeta turned around and hugged Rosicky with his hands. The foul on this ball was too obvious. That's why.

Received a yellow card from the referee.

"This position is good. It is only about 27 meters away from the goal. From this position, both Rosicky and Nedved can shoot directly. Both Rosicky and Nedved are already standing in front of the ball."

"Rosicky. This is a fake, Nedved!"

"goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Nedved! Nedved! Nedved actually played such a wonderful arc. This is a blind spot. An absolute blind spot. This is the second goal that Nedved scored in this game.

With the ball, Nedved helped the Czech Republic overtake Brazil. Three to two, three to two. Ronaldo had just lost the chance to score, and Nedved immediately helped the Czech Republic take the lead by one goal. At the 78th minute of the game,

With Nedvěd's fifth goal in this World Cup, the Czech Republic leads Brazil 3-2."

"Is Ronaldo so unlucky? Four years ago, people were looking forward to Ronaldo's ascension to the throne and the birth of a new world football king. But four years ago in the World Cup finals, a generation of superstar Zidane turned out to help the French team win.

When it comes to winning the World Cup, four years later, Ronaldo performed very well in the World Cup, scoring eight goals. He even scored two goals in the final, but now we see if he has fulfilled another superstar.

Nedved’s performance of two shots and one pass helped the Czech Republic take the lead over Brazil. Will Nedved repeat Zidane’s feat four years ago?”

When Brückner saw Nedvěd scoring, he shouted excitedly. Then he and the coaching staff and substitute players behind him all celebrated crazily. But he soon came back to his senses because he found that Brazil started not wanting to

He was ready to attack. After thinking about it, Brückner made the first substitution of the game.

"The Czech Republic has made a substitution. Coach Brückner replaced Bobosky, who scored a goal in this game, with the 20-year-old Czech star Baros. Baros is a forward, coach Brückner

What a change."

Brückner replaced Boboski with Baros. When Boboski came off the field, all the Czech fans, including some neutral fans, applauded Boboski. Boboski's performance in the game was not good.

This is considered very good, because after being suppressed by Carlos, Boboski's side did not perform very well. Most of the Czech's offense in this game occurred between Rosicky and Nedvěd.

But even so, Boboski scored a goal. From the entire World Cup journey, Boboski is definitely the best right midfielder. The two people who are qualified to compare with him are Baker.

Ham, the other is Figo. Unfortunately, Portugal led by Figo was sent home in the group stage, and Beckham had just returned from injury and did not perform well. When Brazil eliminated England, it was at the feet of Beckham

He grabbed the ball and then counterattacked and scored. Compared to the two of them, Boboski performed much better in the World Cup.

Everyone didn't understand it at first, but they soon understood it after Baros came on the field. Nedvěd once again came back as a defensive midfielder, and the three defensive midfielders protected the Czech defense. And Baros is a forward with excellent speed.

, partnered with Jankoler. The Czech style of play is very simple. As long as there is the ball, just hit Jankoler directly. Jankoler is responsible for passing the header to Baros or Rosicky who comes in behind.

It's a very simple style of play, but it can be played because of Jan Koller. And Baros is a forward after all, so he can find loopholes in the opponent's defense better than Boboski. He plays like a forward, and Yan Koller has a header.

With the ball, he can create threats with his speed and skills.

At this time, we can see the importance of the defensive midfielder. Kleberson and Wampeta did not dare to come up at all, because when they came up, they gave Rosicky enough space for him to break through. And Kleberson and Wampeta

Towers was even less sure of defending Rosicky. In addition, with the counterattacks of Jankoler and Baros, in the remaining ten minutes, the leading Czech side frequently created killing opportunities. The Brazilian defense was in a very embarrassed state.

"Champion! Champion! We are the champion!"

"Long live Czech Republic! Long live Czech Republic!"

As time passed by, the Czech fans went crazy. The Czech Republic has won two World Cup runner-ups in history, but the most recent one was 40 years ago. If it wins the World Cup this time, it will create Czech football.

history.

"Five minutes."

"Three minutes."

"One minute."

"Thirty seconds."

"10,9,8,7..."

"Dududu——"

"The game is over, a wonderful game is over. The Czech team defeated Brazil 3-2 in the World Cup final and won the World Cup. Congratulations to the Czech team. This is the first time in the history of Czech football that it has won the World Cup. Congratulations to the Czech team

Coach Lucner, he became a World Cup winning coach."

The moment the game whistle sounded, Ronaldo really cried. Ronaldo felt that he was the unluckiest player in the world. In 1994, Ronaldo won a World Cup championship, but he did not play for a minute that year. Four

Years ago, Ronaldo finally took the lead, and the whole world was optimistic about Ronaldo. Unfortunately, the World Cup made it possible for Zidane.

Four years later, Ronaldo returned from injury and regained his form. In the final, he thought he had done everything, but lost to the Czech Republic again. Although Ronaldo scored two goals, he still fulfilled another Czech superstar Nedvěd.

Do you really have no chance of becoming a champion?

"Ronaldo is in tears. I want to say Ronaldo, you have done everything. He is the best player in this game. This is not your fault, this is the problem of Brazil's defense. If Brazil's midfield and backfield are a little stronger, Brazil will also

We won’t lose the World Cup title.”

The commentator saw it, so he comforted Ronaldo. Ronaldo scored eight goals and is definitely a good candidate for the best player in the World Cup. Unfortunately, Brazil lost to the Czech Republic, and all his efforts were in vain. But who is the Czech player at this time?

Regardless of the mood of the Brazilian players. At the moment the whistle sounded, all the Czech players, including members of the coaching staff, had already entered the stadium and cheered. Cheering for this historic moment in Czech football. (To be continued...)
