Chapter 358 Ronaldo's Blitz

In the dressing room, the overall mood of the England team is not bad.

Everyone did not expect that after two years, the England team met Brazil again, and it would be [-]-[-].

According to everyone's psychological construction before the game, the Brazilian team came up with a smooth pass and match, and first passed the England team.Then slowly boil the frog in warm water. As long as one goal can be scored, the game will be very difficult.

The Brazilian players are still the same as they were two years ago, but the central axis of this team was in his early 30s two years ago, which is the end of its peak period.

Up to now, no one can replace this group of players who are going downhill.

For the time being, there are no players who can replace them, which also reflects the lack of success of the Brazilian team from the side.

But this year's Brazilian team is so good because of Ronaldo. As long as he is there, Brazil has an advantage in playing against any team.

When it comes to missing out, the first thing Beckham thinks of is the German team. They lost to the new team Croatia in the World Cup, and they can no longer be regarded as a world-class team.

But if Sammer is not injured and there is a character like Ronaldo in this German team, then there is still no problem playing Croatia.

Football is like this, a superstar can often decide life and death at critical moments.

Therefore, the dressing room of the England team is not very happy. Everyone knows that if one neglects, the efforts of the normal game may be in vain.

To be honest, playing with such a team is very tiring, and the nerves are always tense.

Moreover, the England team played against the Netherlands until the 110th minute of overtime in the last game, which was a huge waste. The four-day rest time can only be said to have returned to the game state.

The physical reserve can only be said to be average, and he can fight hard with his teeth gritted, but the pain is certain.

Take the current situation in the locker room as an example. Because of fatigue, everyone doesn't want to talk much.

According to Old John, in the semi-finals, the focus of testing the team is more and more inclined to the mental state and fighting will.

Everyone is very tired. It depends on which team has the stronger desire to win, which team is more united, and which team has more tenacious willpower.

After a 10-minute rest, the atmosphere in the locker room slowly became active, and Keegan once again emphasized the previously arranged tactics.

The tactics of the England team are highly targeted and have basically covered all aspects of the Brazil team. Now there are no new problems that can be summarized.

If England are lucky, it is not uncommon to enter the dressing room with a two-goal lead.

The Brazil team didn't get a good chance in the first half, but the England team got two great chances. One was Shearer singled out the central defender in the penalty area and the other was Owen facing the goalkeeper alone.

In these two shots, the Brazilian goalkeeper was like a decoration placed in front of the goal, and it didn't play any role at all. It's a pity that the luck of the two people was a little bit worse, and the difference between the goal and the goal was a hair's breadth.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back. This is the 62nd match of the World Cup in France. The two sides of the match are the England team and the Brazil team. The winner of this match will advance to the final tiebreaker and compete with the winner of the French team and the Croatian team for the final world championship.

England's performance in the first half was commendable as they had three chances to score, with shots from Alan and Michael hitting the post and the crossbar respectively.

The Brazilian team did not get too good a chance to score, but the game is not over, everything is hard to say. "

In Martin Taylor's words, England and Brazil started the second half of the match.

When Beckham got the ball, he saw Leonardo running towards him, immediately dribbled the ball laterally to get rid of the opponent, and then passed the ball to Le Saux.

Leonardo could only turn around and run back, and when he was almost in position, Le Saux passed the ball to Ince, who passed it to Beckham.

After Beckham got the ball, Bebeto came up again. This time he passed the ball to Anderton. Anyway, Rivaldo didn't defend much.

To his surprise, Rivaldo did not go up to grab, he stood still.

Anderton is still some distance away from the penalty area. Rivaldo only defends against breakthroughs, not passes.

Anderton hesitated, then passed the ball back to Beckham.

"Brazil's formation recovered very well in the second half, and the England team had the advantage of possession. It seems that they have made new tactical arrangements in the midfield."

Martin Taylor was a little puzzled by the change in the situation on the field. The Brazilian team took the ball back and took the initiative to throw the midfielder to the England team.

In his impression, the defensive ability of the Brazilian team is far from that of four years ago. As long as the opponent dares to attack them, they will almost lose the ball.

Just looking at their defensive strength, they are probably not top-notch among the top 32.

"Brazil's air defense is not bad. Shrinking the defense is probably a tactic against the England team. I think they still want to control the rhythm."

Lineker felt that as a player and coach who had won the World Cup, Zagallo would never be cowardly, and he must have considered such a tactic.

Facts have proved that the Brazilian team's move has worked.

England players passed continuously in the midfield, but they still couldn't find a flaw.

With Dunga and Sampaio in the middle as a barrier in front of the back line, the England team can only rely on Beckham to send a through ball into the penalty area.

In addition to heartthrobs, Batty and Ince have no embroidery skills.

Every time Beckham takes the ball, Brazilian players will stand in front of him and never allow him to handle the ball comfortably.

Everyone worked hard to send the football to Shearer, and England's number one striker would immediately be surrounded by defenders, with no room to kick.

As for Irving's speed advantage after the Brazilian team shrunk the defense, he couldn't play at all, and the coaching staff of the England team couldn't make up their minds.If the Brazilian team attacks out in a short while, the England team will have to rely on Owen to deal with the opponent.

Can't penetrate in the middle, so they can only try to pass from the side, but Bayano and Aldair's air defense capabilities are not bad.

Although Shearer has nothing to say about headers, bounces, and grabbing points, but the Brazilian team has a large defense line, and Shearer is only 1 meters.

He can only toss the opponent's line of defense, but he can't cause fatal damage.

The defense of the England team is a bit shocking. As long as Ronaldo gets the ball, the hearts of all England players will rise to their throats. Aliens can often throw off the defenders around them with a single start. The England defenders need to encircle him collectively to contain him.

The first 10 minutes of the second half made Beckham understand that it is not useful to occupy the midfield all the time.

The Brazilian team gave up the midfielder for some unknown reason, but the England team did not feel comfortable holding this lot.

If you want to manage this area well, you must provide a certain amount of manpower, which makes the England team move forward a lot, and the gap between the defensive players will obviously become larger.

This situation is just right for Ronaldo to be a dragon, which is really worrying.

And judging from the situation on the field, the Brazilian team retreated and the defense was much tighter.

The reason why they had frequent loopholes in previous games was largely due to the decline in the athletic ability of the veterans in the midfield.

If you let their bodies go back to four years ago, probably many defenses will be fine, but time is the biggest enemy of professional players, and football is a sport that relies on physical ability.

However, as the team's formation retreated, the Brazilian team could always keep seven to eight players in their own half to participate in the defense, because the loopholes left by the lack of mobility were filled by everyone. Ronaldo alone was able to hold the attention of the three defenders of the England team.

With Ronaldo, the England team did not dare to defend and attack at all, so they threatened the Brazil team in the morning less than in the first half, but the Brazil team could still give the England team enough deterrence.

On the sidelines, Neil folded his arms and observed the England coaching staff arguing. Keegan hoped to replace Heskey and kill the Brazilian with a cross. Others felt that it was too early to replace him, and Owen was still a threat.

Moreover, the two teams are in a balance on the field, let's see the situation first.

"So far in the second half, neither team has a good chance, Gary, do you think we should make a change first?"

In any case, everyone did not expect that the Brazilian team would play in the style of the Italian team, and he does not know what to do now.

"I don't think the current situation can last forever. The star-studded Brazil team is definitely not willing to let the game go into overtime, or even a penalty shootout. Their goal is to win the championship, and they are definitely not willing to consume too much energy in the semi-finals.

Whether it is time to make changes now, I am not sure.I can only guarantee that the tactical adjustment of the Brazilian team must have its own intentions. "

While Lineker was speaking, the live broadcast suddenly switched to the remote end.

Dunga got the ball in the midfield, Ronaldo retreated to ask for the ball, and Ince followed closely.

Just when everyone thought that the alien wanted to try a dragon again, or wanted to be beaten, Dunga passed the ball to Rivaldo on the left.

The Brazilian faced Anderton 10 meters before the middle circle, just observing from front to back, not aggressive.

Ronaldo spread his hands towards Dunga, and it seemed that the two had some communication problems.

The alien walked slowly towards the frontcourt with his head down, while Dunga was still chattering on the spot.

Beckham was beside Dunga, and he watched the other party's tone getting higher and higher, with an extremely serious expression.

Although he couldn't understand Portuguese, he always felt that the tone of the Brazilian didn't sound like a complaint after a conflict, but rather like a guide.
Yes, directing, like a director directing a shoot on set.

Thinking of this, Beckham couldn't help but pay more attention to Dunga, and found that he was observing towards the left.

All this happened in an instant, and Beckham subconsciously ran towards the backcourt, feeling that something was wrong.

The two eyed each other warily as he passed Dunga.

Looking at each other, Beckham read the cunning from Dunga's eyes, he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and immediately ran towards Ronaldo.

Almost as soon as he started, Dunga kept repeating a word loudly towards Ronaldo.

Beckham yelled at Ince: "Foul!" and then rushed toward the backcourt recklessly.

He finally understood now, but he didn't know if it was too late.

Seeing Beckham's reaction, Ince subconsciously approached Ronaldo. The alien had already activated. Ince, who has many years of experience in the game, reached out and grabbed the corner of the alien's clothes, trying to hold him back.

But Ronaldo has already started to speed up. He broke free from Ince and rushed towards the penalty area.

Seeing Ronaldo get rid of the defenders around him in an instant, Beckham instantly changed his direction and ran towards the left side of the penalty area.

Wanting to catch up with Ronaldo, who has successfully started, is the biggest joke in the world. Beckham ran towards the left side of the penalty area while observing Rivaldo.

He has already seen how the other party wants to play.

At the same time, Rivaldo got rid of it on the spot, and suddenly exerted force, the football drew an arc close to the ground, and flew into the penalty area with a bounce.

Beckham made a flying tackle, but it was still a step too late.

He looked towards the penalty area, Ronaldo had rushed into the penalty area, and just touched the ball when the football landed, and the football that was still bouncing just now rolled quickly to the front left according to his will.

The entire stadium was boiling. Everyone saw the aliens all the way into the penalty area. Adams slammed into Ronaldo hard, but it did not affect the opponent's balance.

Gary Neville and Campbell rushed towards Ronaldo desperately, but judging from the speed of the Brazilian, they could only catch up with them.

Whether it can be defended or not depends on the old pair of Adams and Seaman.

Adams put his body close to Ronaldo, and when the alien dribbled the ball again, he flicked to the left to get rid of the England central defender.

Adams grasped Ronaldo's right arm with his left hand for a moment, and let go of it for a moment. The alien's body balance was still unaffected, and Adams had been thrown away.

Seeing that Ronaldo had gotten rid of everyone, Beckham suddenly felt a tightness in his heart.

In his sights, Ronaldo adjusted the ball again in high-speed motion, and then easily pushed in front of Seaman.

His diagonal dribbling was so fast that Seaman couldn't keep up with him.

Adams tried his best to shovel, but to no avail. Everyone watched the football roll into the goal.

0 to 1, the England team was counterattacked by the opponent in less than 60 minutes.

Beckham put his waist down and looked towards the sidelines. In his peripheral vision, Ronaldo ran for more than ten meters on the court with open arms, and then hugged Bebeto and Rivaldo together.

It all happened so fast that Beckham was completely caught up in the memory of the moment just now.

The broadcast footage is already replaying Brazil's goals. Martin Taylor described the whole process of Brazil's goals in a low tone.

"I can see that it was a premeditated attack, Ronaldo dropped back to get the ball, pretended to have a bad relationship with Dunga, both of them looked a little excited.

It was the realistic performance of the two that made Paul relax his vigilance. "

In the broadcast screen, Ince has actually not relaxed his defense against Ronaldo.

Ronaldo was walking forward slowly with his head down at the moment, he seemed to be sulking, and Dunga behind him was still chattering, no one would be vigilant.

It was these few seconds of relaxation that gave the Brazilian a chance to get rid of the defense.

"In slow motion, David spotted the Brazilian's trick, but the opponent had already acted."

Martin Taylor didn't expect the Brazilian team to play such details. These little tricks probably don't have much effect in normal times, but they are very effective on Ronaldo, because the aliens can solve the problem in just a few seconds.

Lineker had to shake his head helplessly: "This goal seems to be the performance of Ronaldo alone. In fact, many Brazilian players participated in this attack."

Now everyone understands why the Brazilian team retreated. They did this entirely to open the distance between the England defenders and to make room for Ronaldo to sprint.

England's coaching staff quickly made a decision after conceding a goal, and now there is only one way left, which can only be done hard.
