Chapter 14 Persevere to the end

(one)

Compared with Robinho's fancy moves such as riding a bicycle in a small space, Pato is good at easily breaking through the opponent's defense with a few simple touches. Of course, Pato, like all Brazilian players, also uses some juggling to tease the opponent's defense.

A player's fake move, but he prefers to stop or move the ball farther away from himself, and then use his speed to eat the opponent's defensive player, or start from a static state instantly to get rid of the opponent's defense.

Compared with Zhai Tingfeng who is pulled to the wing, Ouyang Yaochong is obviously weaker in terms of defensive blocking. In terms of speed, he can basically compete with Robinho, Ganso and the Brazilian full-back Ander who assists from the left.

Resantos resisted, but when Pato switched to the left wing, Ouyang Yaochong had a much harder time defending.

After Chen Zhuo found out, he made a temporary adjustment. Baggio naturally had to take corresponding countermeasures. After Chen Zhuo went up to resist for a few minutes, the Hong Kong team requested a substitution. Ouyang Yaochong was replaced. The "Guo" player from Dalian Wanda

"Reinforcement" Ju Yingzhi was sent to the field, and Chen Zhuo withdrew to a deep position and resumed the formation deployment during the halftime break.

Mesenes was very dissatisfied and shouted to the court. Just when Chen Zhuo pushed to the wing, Mesenes yelled and asked the players to hand the ball to Ganso and Neymar, but they turned a deaf ear and still

Choose to trust Pato's speed.

It would have been difficult to convince the public if Ganso, who was born in 19**, and Neymar, who was born in 1992, were to serve as the core of the tactics. Moreover, Ganso still defeated Kaká and Ronaldinho, two idol-level superstars.

It's just that everything went well, with one win and two draws in the three group matches, scoring 6 goals and conceding 4 goals. Such a record is really nothing to boast about.

(two)

Conceded 4 goals in three games, one of which was 0-0, and two goals conceded in both games. This fully shows that there are serious problems in the defense of this Brazilian team. Baggio, who comes from Italy, the originator of global defense, has nothing to do with this.

Of course, we attach great importance to this.

In fact, it is not just this Brazilian team. Historically, the Brazilian team has often exposed defensive problems. Their offensive and defensive imbalances are originally problems left over from history!

Any Brazilian team that can solve its defensive problems has achieved good results. Not counting the Pele era, the Brazilian teams in 1994 and 2002 all had impregnable defense lines, and then those talented players can safely solve offense and progress.

Football problems, including Dunga's Brazil team in the four years from 2006 to 2010, also won the Copa America and the Confederations Cup because they solved the defensive problem very well.

Looking at other World Cups, Brazil lost to France in the eighth round in 1986, lost to Argentina led by world champion Maradona by one goal in 1990, lost to France in the final in 1998, and were eliminated by France again in 2006, 10

In 2016, they lost to the Netherlands, which eventually advanced to the finals. This was the situation after the knockout format was introduced.

The format of the World Cup before 1982 was different from the later format. The 16 teams were divided into four groups for a round-robin match. The top two teams in each group qualified, and then they were divided into two groups and played another round-robin match. The top team in the group competed for the championship.

The competition for third and fourth place in the group has changed a lot since then.

However, after the introduction of the knockout round, the Brazilian team's previous defeats all followed a pattern. From 1986 to 2010, there was a pattern in the five games that the Brazilian team lost, that is, the defense of set pieces and headers.

This is their shortcoming. France, which has defeated Brazil three times, has the best say in dealing with this powerful team.

Discovery is discovery, and solution is solution. These are two concepts. Baggio can discover the defensive shortcomings of the Brazilian team, but the Hong Kong team he leads does not necessarily have the ability to grasp this flaw of theirs!

What is most in line with objective reality is to drag the game to overtime and then to a penalty shootout through intensive defensive tactics and exhausting the opponent's physical strength. In that case, the Brazilian team will really lose all its advantages.

(three)

Ju Yingzhi and Ouyang Yaochong have completely different characteristics. Ouyang Yaochong is a speedy counterattack midfielder, while Ju Yingzhi is a defensive midfielder who can suddenly step in and take a long shot.

If when Ouyang Yao was allowed to rush onto the court, Baggio still had the idea of ​​launching a quick counterattack through the right wing, then replacing Ju Yingzhi with him was equivalent to giving up this right wing counterattack.

If we take into account that Gasson has been transferred from the left midfielder to the midfielder, Zhai Tingfeng has been allowed to roam from the left to the middle to play defensive front, and there are no assist arrangements for the left and right full-backs, after this substitution, the Hong Kong team has the ability to counterattack

Of the players, Chen Zhaoqi is the only one left.

It was already the 75th minute of the game, and there were only 15 minutes left before overtime.

Shortly after coming on the field, Ju Yingzhi used an accurate blocking to disrupt Pato's offense, but with an additional move on his hand, Pato was knocked out of the sideline and fell to the ground in pain. Brazilian midfielder Lucas Leiva

Angrily, he ran over and pushed Ju Yingzhi, and the two almost got into a fight. In the end, the referee showed Ju Yingzhi and Lucas a yellow card each, asking them to calm down.

In the 80th minute, Mesenes made a substitution. He replaced Neymar and replaced him with Fluminense forward Fred.

On a slippery field, Robinho, Neymar and Ganso were unable to take advantage of their delicate footwork. At this time, Fred, who is 1.85 meters tall, was asked to rush forward. Mesenes hoped to make a breakthrough.

However, things went against expectations. Due to Ju Yingzhi's appearance and under the command of Chen Zhuo, Gasson and Luo Gangwei were approaching Pato's point, the Brazilian team was not able to achieve a better breakthrough. In addition, Chen Zhaoqi, Zhai Tingfeng and

Lin Zhijian spared no effort to destroy the midfield, and the Brazilian team's midfield fell into a muddy situation.

In desperation, Ramirez and Lucas began to send long passes to Fred from the midfielder position, trying to take advantage of Fred's advantage in grabbing points and being good at blitzes.

You know, Fred is the creator of the fastest goal in the Brazilian League. In 2003, when he was playing for the Mineiro team in the Brazilian League, in the game against Villanova, Fred scored 3.17 seconds into the game.

The record set by the ball has not been broken until now.

However, in Baggio's view, Mesenes's substitution is questionable. For the five major European players in the center, Chen Zhuo from Serie A and Rong Aping from Eredivisie, any one of them can challenge Frederic.

Relatively speaking, Fred's power is not as good as Neymar!

Therefore, from this substitution, Baggio's analysis is that Mesenes was not only impatient, but also amidst the constant boos from the audience, Mesenes was even a little confused in his thinking and began to have a fluke mentality.

(Four)

Although he was wearing rainproof clothes and rainproof boots, Baggio's clothes were still soaked, and he became more and more nervous towards the end. For Baggio, who had huge regrets in 1994, he really wanted to beat Brazil once

!

In addition to the players' technical and tactical ability being several levels behind, the Hong Kong team is also different from the Italian team in terms of tactical coordination. However, they actually held on for nearly 90 minutes. Even though they only defended but did not attack, they endured repeated hardships.

Under the huge pressure of the offense, the physical strength of these players is close to overdraft!

In the 88th minute of the game, Baggio made his second substitution. Zhai Tingfeng, who was extremely exhausted, suffered from cramps. It seemed that he could no longer hold on. Baggio sent in another national aid, Xu Deshuai, the former Dalian Wanda player.

, let him play the left midfielder position. Like Ju Yingzhi, Xu Deshuai is also a defensive midfielder and played as a defensive midfielder in the Asian Games.

There are five European players, two national players, and now only the local Hong Kong players are goalkeeper Liang Xingjie, left back Guo Jianbang, right back Luo Gangwei and forward Chen Zhaoqi.

Looking at Baggio's gesture, Chen Zhuo hesitated for a moment, but decided to carry it out resolutely.

There were about 5 minutes of stoppage time, and then overtime was about to begin. At this time, Baggio asked Xu Deshuai to come on, and at the same time gave Chen Zhuo a signal to change the formation and switch from defense to offense!

The most direct change to the 5-4-1 formation is to move up the two full-back positions and turn it into a 3-4-3 attacking formation!

After holding on for 88 minutes, it is indeed risky to change the attack at this time. Once the opponent seizes the flaw and counterattacks successfully, the tenacious defense in the previous 88 minutes will be in vain!

Baggio knew very well that with the physical fitness of the Hong Kong team's players, there was still 30 minutes of overtime. They would not be able to hold on anyhow! While they were still running, let them charge hard twice and hit the target with one hit.

You're done, otherwise, whether you make it to overtime or not, you will collapse due to physical problems! The effect of altitude training has basically no effect until now.

In the last five minutes, the sudden impact of the Hong Kong players caught the Brazilian team off guard. Guo Jianbang made a pass from the bottom and Chen Zhaoqi headed the ball. After Chen Zhuo stole the ball in the midfield, he was pressed and made a through ball from the wing. Luo Gangwei hit back from the bottom.

After that, Ju Yingzhi shot a long-range shot, and in stoppage time, Chen Zhuo's pass and shot near the center circle were confiscated by the Brazilian goalkeeper.

The gritted teeth counterattack did not achieve miraculous results, but it won the Hong Kong team dignity. When the final whistle blew, all the Hong Kong team players collapsed on the lawn, and the audience in the stands burst into warm applause. For Hong Kong

The team is as tenacious as an invincible team. For their sake, they dared to launch a counterattack against the powerful Brazilian team at the last moment!

(five)

Before overtime, the players did not enter the locker room. They rested on the court for 10 minutes before overtime began.

"There is still one last spot." Baggio looked at the players and said: "I plan to use it at the last minute and let Patton replace the goalkeeper to save the penalty kick..."

This decision is not unexpected. The Hong Kong team’s goalkeepers are generally not very tall. In the usual penalty kick saving exercises, Chen Zhuo is not inferior to several professional goalkeepers in terms of reaction, jumping and saving, but...

"Your eyes don't seem firm enough. Are you wondering whether you can persist until that time? Tell me if you can do it!" Baggio asked loudly.

There is no skill now, it’s just willpower. Whoever can persevere to the end will win!,! As long as we dream, we can achieve it! This is the motto of the Kennedy Space Center in the United States.

People always have to dare to think, even if it’s just a dream. (To be continued.)
