Chapter 52: Confronting Zidane (2)
However, the French team's next attack made Lao Lei see it, and sure enough, the gods were all killed by pig-like teammates. When Karemb got Zidane's pass, he was facing the Brazilian defense that was already pressed back by Zidane's breakthrough, and there was already a gap in front of him, and he could shoot directly from a distance. Brazil's centre-back Aldair had to press out to block Karrumb's possible long-range shot. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Karemb first made a gesture to shoot from distance, then suddenly stabbed the football with his right foot, and then accelerated into the Brazilian penalty area.
Karemb's sudden forward cut completely shook Aldair and came directly to the bottom line of the penalty area on the left. Taking advantage of Aldair's lack of time to adjust his outstretched feet, Karemb swept the ball directly into the penalty area and passed it to the goalkeeper to grab the point of Givash. At this time, there was only one Bayano by his side, and he was also squeezed behind him to grab a favorable position. Karemb's horizontal pass is very particular, and the route of the ball is between the goalkeeper and the central defender, which makes the Brazilian goalkeeper Tafarel dare not attack easily, and at the same time, as long as the player who grabs the point touches it, it is easy to cause a goal.
At this time, even Lao Lei felt that he was about to lose the ball at the beginning. But the next move of Givash told Lao Lei that he was not the top central defender in the world. Givash faced the ball from Karrumb and tried to stab it with his left foot. But who knew that the result was that Givash's left outside instep directly cleared the ball out of the bottom line, doing what the Brazilian central defenders did not do, wasting an offensive that Zidane had painstakingly organized. After seeing the football fly out of the bottom line, Givash himself covered his face with his hands and had no face to meet Jiangdong's father.
French fans in the stands. He also covered his face like Jivash, and he didn't know that it was a pity to attack this time. Still don't want to see "007" Givash. At this point, the first wave of threatening offensives organized and planned by France's Zinedine Zidane in just five minutes of the opening game. It was completely dissolved by Givash. Lao Lei looked at Zidane in front of him, first with a hint of disbelief in his eyes, and then shook his head and walked towards his own half.
The energy that Lao Lei was glad about in his heart did not last long, and his brain began to be nervous again to plan how to defend Zidane. After thinking for a while, Lao Lei very helplessly chose the same strategy as the last time to defend Maradona, foul tactics. was forced to use foul tactics again, Lao Lei was very unwilling, thinking that he shouldn't strengthen defensive training, and it seems that he has paid too much attention to defense recently. In terms of the improvement of defensive ability. It's too slow. After all, Lao Lei's current and future direction is not a simple sapper back, if he uses this kind of foul-prone defense too much, it is bound to be easy to eat cards. In that case, it will definitely have a big impact on the team.
However, this matter can only be put to a later date, and it is important to pass this copy first. Brazilian goalkeeper Tafarel threw the ball to Dunga and began to organise Brazil's attack. Brazil passed the ball smoothly at the back, while France cautiously returned to the halfway line and compressed Brazil's attacking space, leaving only Givash alone to interfere with Brazil in the frontcourt. Since Brazil does not have an obvious center. Dunga, on the other hand, wanted to focus more on consolidating his defence, so Lao Lei smoothly took over the position of the playmaking core of the Brazilian midfield.
In the face of Givash's interference, Lao Lei's passing with the Brazilian midfielder in the middle and back of the run made his interference useless. In the cooperation with the Brazilian players, Lao Lei felt the difference between the European style of Portugal, which is also a ground genre, and Brazil. In the Portuguese national team is playing a match. When Portuguese players cooperate with Lao Lei, they often choose a more secure way to ensure the safety of the pass. However, in the Brazilian national team, although it is also a ground match. But Brazilian players tend to have a more free-spirited, casual style of playing.
Generally speaking. Obviously, Portugal's consistent style is better, but due to the skill of the Brazilian players at their feet. With this kind of free and casual style, under the condition of ensuring a certain success rate, it can often surprise the enemy and achieve a good effect. The advantages and disadvantages of the two are inseparable, and each has its own characteristics.
After getting rid of Jivash, Ray tried to move the ball forward, but was greatly disturbed as soon as he passed halfway. The first line of defence is the midfield line under the leadership of Didier Deschamps. Lao Lei saw a defensive style similar to his own style in Deschamps, running in a large area, constantly pressing and breaking the ball. It may be that he is older and better in terms of speed and range of running, but Deschamps' efficiency is much higher than that of Lao Lei, which is where Lao Lei is not as good as Deschamps now.
Lao Lei has now finally tasted the taste of his former opponent, and there is a person who keeps running around and forcing you to rob you. In addition, Petit, Karlumb and others are also cooperating with Deschamps' running, waiting for opportunities to pack and break the ball, and keep a good distance between each other, leaving no gaps to be used. Lao Lei's first step to advance the front court encountered a great obstacle. At this time, Carlos on the left side suddenly plugged in at high speed, and Lao Lei suddenly pulled the ball to the middle, leaving room for Carlos to accelerate. In the face of Zidane, Lao Lei unceremoniously adopted the method of eating hard with his body, and said that you are the boss on the offensive end, but you are cannon fodder on the defensive end.
Directly accelerated with the ball and changed direction past Zidane, and Zidane did not entangle, he was just a routine. After all, defense is not his main task, his energy is mainly focused on attacking organization, as for defense is the main task of France's central midfield. After Zidane, Lao Lei didn't take a few steps, and Deschamps came out in front of Lao Lei. At this time, the French defense was slightly attracted to the middle by Lao Lei, and Leonardo was also pulling from the right to the middle at this time, ready to respond at any time.
At this time, Lao Lei passed a diagonal high ball to the left, and Carlos, who had increased his speed, was chasing the ball. The pass landed behind Djokaeff and when he turned to chase it, he had already lost the lead. Carlos fought his pace and got the ball first. Brazil's left side is their main means of attack, and the combination of Carlos, Rivaldo and Ronaldo on the left side is the most useful and powerful magic weapon for attacking on the left side.
Djokaeff didn't give up on defending. Closely followed by Carlos. Carlos scored a point with his left foot and gave it to Rivaldo. Then accelerate again on your own. Rivaldo understood that he would lean on Petit's and pushed forward with his left foot on the spot. Make balls for Carlos. After Carlos accelerated again, Djokaf was out of reach, and could only watch him play at his speed.
At this time, Ronaldo has also pulled out and cooperated with Carlos. The two made a one-two, in the face of Carlos's pass, Ronaldo knocked his heel, then turned and accelerated to break through Lirazazu, and then Carlos passed the ball diagonally to Ronaldo's running route. If Ronaldo can get the ball, he can be in the box. Directly facing French goalkeeper Butters. In the penalty area, it would be a disaster for a striker of Ronaldo's level to take the ball and face the goalkeeper.
Unfortunately, Ronaldo didn't have the chance to get the pass, and substitute Blanco came on for Leboeuf to keep himself well away from Lillazzou. As soon as Ronaldo turned, Leboeuf guessed his intentions and he made up in time to make a sliding tackle before Ronaldo and shoveled the ball off the touchline. Disrupted the Brazilian offensive. Lao Lei, who saw it clearly in the backfield, shook his head and said in his heart that it seems that Ronaldo's injury has a lot of impact.
Ronaldo's speed at his peak was much faster than Lao Lei didn't know, but this time Ronaldo turned around and accelerated not even as fast as he did in the 02 World Cup. You must know that Ronaldo's figure was fat at that time. Nine minutes into the game, France and Brazil each organised a dangerous attack, and it looked like they were comparable. If you look closely, Brazil relies on the attack the most. It didn't put enough pressure on the French defence, at least this time. And in Lao Lei's opinion, when the French defense is attacking in Brazil. Keeping the formation in good shape throughout, it shows that there is still room for energy. With Ronaldo's form dropping dramatically, this is not good news. At least in Lao Lei's view, if Brazil plays according to the previous routine, the French shield can properly suppress Brazil's attack.
"It's no wonder that in reality France can beat Brazil 3:0, which is more difficult than the last copy in terms of difficulty. Forget it, let's find a way to defend well, France's forward line doesn't seem to be very good. Positional battles are based on solid defence first, and then at set-pieces, be careful with Zinedine Zidane. Let's keep it a draw for now. Lao Lei thought to himself.
Next came Brazil's throw-in, and after Carlos threw it in, Rivaldo, who received the ball, was immediately tightly guarded by Djokaeff and Petit. When Djokaeff and Rivaldo made physical contact, causing Rivaldo's center of gravity to be unstable, Petit took the opportunity to cut off Rivaldo's pass. Then it was handed directly to Deschamps, and he didn't think much about receiving the ball, and passed a ground ball to Zidane, who was already pulling on the left side of Brazil, which was to leave a large gap on the left side of Brazil after Palos stepped forward.
However, as soon as Zidane received the ball, he was knocked to the ground from the side by Lao Lei, and France's offensive came to an abrupt end. The referee's whistle sounded, and after a glance at Zidane who fell to the ground, Lao Lei turned around and left. He knows that to such an extent, he will not be able to get a yellow card. However, Zidane looked at Lao Lei's back, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but then it disappeared, he had encountered too many defensive methods and was used to it.
By the 21st minute of the first half, France had a clear upper hand on the field. At this time, Zidane formed another breakthrough in the front court, and before Lao Lei reached out to pull him down, he made a through pass into the penalty area. Adhering to the principle of attacking advantage, the referee did not blow the whistle, but signaled the game to continue. Old Ray thought to Gordon, not good, dangerous.
Who knew that Dao Givash helped Brazil again, and he was already single-handed, and his shot without interference was directly above the crossbar, hitting the plane, and missing the opportunity again.
Lao Lei looked at it, and thought to himself that this person's psychology is not up to par, as the French team's positive Indian striker, his ability should definitely not be weak, and it seems that eighty percent of his psychology is not up to par. After thinking for a while, a wicked smile appeared on the corner of Lao Lei's mouth.
Suddenly, he gave two thumbs up to the Givash who was looking at him, signaling a good job.
With a smiling face praising comrades. (To be continued......)
