In the players' tunnel, Lao Lei didn't chat with his good friend Ronaldinho and others, but just nodded gesturedly, which was regarded as a hello. And Ronaldinho is the same, not even showing his trademark smile. It's not that they don't want to, it's the overall atmosphere in the players' tunnel at this time that doesn't make them smile and communicate with each other. Figo and his Real Madrid team-mate Carlos are no different. The antagonism, the sense of rivalry between the two teams, has now begun, the conversation between friends is left until after the game, and now they are just opponents, opponents in the World Cup final, that's all.

Although the players had not yet played, the loud singing of the fans in the stands was already deafening, even the players who were still in the aisle. The loud singing that tens of thousands of people think of for you can make a person inspire his most passionate fighting spirit. In the player's tunnel, someone was already trotting on the spot uncontrollably, and the sound of shoe spikes hitting the floor became more and more urgent, just like the heartbeat frequency of Lao Lei and others. Finally, under the leadership of the referee team, the two teams appeared on the field.

And the Hercules Gold Cup, which all of them dreamed of, was right in front of everyone's eyes, and this trophy that any footballer would be crazy about appeared in front of everyone's eyes. It is quietly waiting for a new owner to appear. Every player put their eyes on the Hercules Cup when they passed by, and they couldn't leave it for a long time. At this time, the commentator also began his work and began to gush introducing: "Audience friends, the climax of this year's World Cup is coming. In the final of the third and fourth places earlier, the Germans defeated dark horse Turkey 3-2 and comforted themselves with a bronze medal. And today's game. It will be decided who will rise to the top of the world! Who is the king, and who is the king? It was Portugal that made history. Or is it the Brazilian five-star king? “

Brazil's formation in this game is back to the most commonly used formation in this World Cup. Ronaldinho, who has returned from the ban. Starting again, he will recombine with Rivaldo and Ronaldo to become Brazil's front trident. If nothing else, Brazil will still play a 4-5-1 formation in this game, and when defending, Ronaldinho and Rivaldo will have to retract to protect the midfield, except for Ronaldo, everyone in Brazil has the task of defending. And when attacking, there is no doubt about the offensive ability of these three men. The arbitrary cross-transposition and cooperation between the three of them reveal a strong taste of samba football everywhere, and imagination, artistry and power coexist.

In addition to the trident up front, the two wing-backs Cafu and Carlos also had an important attack. These two of the best left and right wing-backs in football today have become Brazil's feared devil wings. In addition to their good defensive ability, the two have outstanding offensive ability. Carlos, in particular, is not only extremely fast, but also a free kick. In this World Cup, against China. He once hit a shocking heavy artillery free kick, and the speed of 149 kilometers per hour made people sigh whether the goalkeeper received it well or not.

And to make up for the gap left by the two full-backs inserted. Scolari lined up with a back three and two defenders to form a solid Brazilian backline. This year's World Cup. Brazil's ability to reach the final was not only due to their star-studded attacking line, but also to their backline. Solid backline. Gave Brazil a stable rear.

Scolari's samba army can attack and defend. Smooth on offense and rock-solid on defensive. To use a descriptive word, it has a championship appearance. Unlike Portugal, which played as a whole, Brazil used the superstar's super individual ability to crush the opponent. Therefore, this game has been called by some media as the confrontation between the two football concepts of individual heroism and team supremacy. In fact, this analogy is inappropriate, because Brazil is not simply individual heroism, it is a group of heroism.

During the pre-game ceremony, Lao Lei looked at the opponent's lineup, and he couldn't help but be jealous. He has played football with them, but he knows what kind of scene this group of people is happy to play. In Oliveira's arrangement before the game, Portugal is going to play against Brazil, in his words, the defense is definitely unstoppable, this Brazil's attack is too strong, anyone in the front court has the ability to end the game, only one way to attack.

In addition, Oliveira still asked Portugal to keep the ball at his feet and reduce Brazil's attacking opportunities, so as to reduce the pressure on the defensive line. However, this game will certainly not be as easy as against Germany, Brazil's foot skills are no weaker than Portugal's, and even faintly winning. Although Portugal is known as the "European Brazil", the opponent is a genuine Brazilian team, samba football. When the time comes, Portugal will be the one who chases the ball.

In Lao Lei's thoughts, the pre-game ceremony was soon over. Both sides were already standing in their respective halves, just waiting for the referee's whistle to blow. The stands shimmered silver, like stars in the night sky. It was 19:30 and the referee's whistle sounded. The final of this year's World Cup has officially begun. After Ronaldinho passed the football back to Rivaldo, Rivaldo faced Figo, who came forward to force Figo, did not choose to pass back, flicked to the right, and then suddenly pulled back to break through Figo.

Then he suddenly accelerated forward, and Ronaldinho and Ronaldo were also pulling the run in front, ready to respond at any time. And on the wing, Carlos and Cafu have also been frantically fast at the same time. It was a premeditated opening raid directed by Scolari. Apparently Scolari thinks that Portugal's players will be slow and nervous in the opening stages of the final, which will be a good opportunity for Brazil.

And the situation on the field at this time proved that he was right. The nervous Portuguese players felt that their hands and feet were not very flexible at this time, and they seemed very sluggish. Rivaldo's breakthrough was so successful that Bento's sluggish defensive moves didn't have any effect to stop it, forcing Costa to come out of the box. And Lao Lei can't leave at all because he needs to watch Ronaldinho, and he can only trust his teammates at this time.

Facing Costa, Rivaldo and Ronaldo completed a wonderful back-to-back small-scale collision with the wall. Andrade and Jorge have been pulled apart thanks to Cafu and Carlos, with the Portuguese defenders in the middle only Costa and Cuto. Rivaldo passed to Ronaldo, Ronaldo's heel returned to Rivaldo, and Rivaldo picked up the forward Ronaldo, so it was simple that Ronaldo created a single chance.

Before the opening 1 minute arrived, Portugal's defence crumbled in front of a surprise attack from Brazil. Oliveira just sat down on the sidelines for a while, couldn't sit still, and immediately rushed to the sidelines, stretching his neck to watch the Brazilian attack. If you concede a goal in the World Cup final, it will be fatal. Because in this kind of game, the psychological pressure of the players is too great, and conceding one goal in the final will make the players feel like conceding two goals.

Coutto was half a body behind Ronaldo and struggled to push Ronaldo out, at least to reduce the angle of his shot. As soon as the game began, Ronaldo, who was in good form in this World Cup, had the opportunity to face Baia directly, which made the Portuguese fans who had not had time to sit down directly stand and stretch their necks to stare nervously at the situation on the field.

Couto's efforts worked, but Ronaldo was disrupted when he adjusted his pace, and he was pushed near the baseline and the angle of his shot became smaller and smaller. Ronaldo's shot at the back of the game was blocked by Baia, who was firmly blocking the angle. Then it was Lao Ray who kicked the ball off the sideline and did not give the eyeing Rivaldo and Ronaldinho a chance to make up for it.

When the football was cleared off the sideline, the Portuguese fans let out a happy exhalation and the Brazilian fans cried out with regret. Lao Lei could feel that his back was shocked into a cold sweat at this time, and his forehead was sweaty, and he breathed a sigh of relief, saying that it was so hanging.

"Ah, dangerous, too dangerous. Our players were too nervous and their hands and feet were too stiff. Hurry up and get out of this state. Aliens won't miss a second chance like this. The Portuguese narrator breathed a sigh of relief and said with concern in his tone.

Lao Lei turned to look at Ronaldinho behind him, and he made a shrug regretful expression at Lao Lei. But no matter how Lao Lei looks at it, he feels that Ronaldinho's expression has a smug smile in his face, and he is proud of the strength of his team. Looking at Ronaldinho's figure walking back, it's unpleasant, this is Lao Lei's heart.

And there is also a person on the sidelines who is in a similar mood to Lao Lei, and that is Oliveira. He was glad that the team didn't concede a goal in the opening stages, but when he saw the smug gaze of Scolari, who had fought him in a war of words before the game, he was upset. And he vented his unhappiness on the disciples on the field, and shouted loudly into the field: "What are you doing, have you all become stupid bears?" Yes!? “

Stimulated by Brazil's surprise attack, coupled with Oliveira's loud voice, the Portuguese players finally slowly regained their senses, and the state of shrinking began to disappear. After Brazil's frontline ball was thrown, they did not press the attack as hard as they had just done, but began to control the ball in the midfield and stabilize the rhythm. Although it is a pity that they did not seize the opportunity when the sneak attack failed, they knew in their hearts that Portugal would not give them a second chance like this, and then they had to rely on a hard position to attack.

Seeing that Brazil wanted to start controlling the ball, Lao Lei Xin said that it was not that simple. Lao Lei, who was unhappy, began to run in the midfield, forcing the Brazilian midfielders. Forcing them to pass the ball backwards, Ray also knew that it would be too difficult to get the ball at the feet of Ronaldinho and Rivaldo, and his aim was to keep the ball as far away from his side's danger zone as possible. Of course, if you have the opportunity to kick, Lao Lei will not be polite.

After a sudden climax in the opening stage, the final of the World Cup began to enter a temporary plateau. (To be continued......)
