453 The Role of Superstars and Geniuses
The following matches are in full swing, but Rist and Carvajal are completely unaffected. Carvajal has nothing to do with him because the game, Greece needless to say, the Czech Republic has nothing to do with him. The Czech Republic won, Greece won, not the Carvajal thing.
As for Lister, although the Czech Republic has a huge relationship with him, if the Czech Republic can win, it will bring many benefits to Lister. But after all, Rist is neither a coach nor a player, and even being nervous doesn't help. It's better to use an opportunity like the European Championship to expand your network. Also able to handle some of their own things.
Of course, another important reason is that the game is too ugly. The Czechs kept attacking and attacking around Greece, but there were still no chances to score.
"Seventy minutes have passed and the Czech Republic has still not been able to find the back of the net against Greece. Coach Rehhagel looked like he was going to hold on to the penalty shootout. ”
The narrator is right. Rehhagel knew that the Czech Republic was powerful, and as long as Greece dared to go out, it would definitely die. So Rehhagel's strategy is very simple, that is, to spend time and energy with the Czechs. He's going to hit the Czechs first, and then take some counter-attacks. If there is no chance of counter-attacking, it is not impossible to drag it to the penalty shootout.
Greece's victory over France was such a line of thought. France has a lineup of top superstars like Zidane, Henry, and Vieira, but it was suffocated by Greece. Rehhagel wanted to suffocate the Czechs in the same way.
Brückner was in a bit of a hurry. At the time of the draw to Greece, the media generally believed that the Czech Republic would easily reach the final. Although Greece eliminated Spain in the group stage. They eliminated France in the knockout round, but they are still a weak team in everyone's eyes. Being able to reach the semi-finals is entirely due to shit luck, and now it will definitely die if it meets the Czech Republic.
But the competition was unexpected. Greece is more tenacious than it thinks, more defensible than it thinks. No matter how much the Czechs played, they couldn't break into Greece's defensive system.
The game passed by minute by minute, and the players on the Czech side were getting more and more anxious. Fortunately, the current Czech players have a lot of experience in the game, and most of them are players who have won the 02shijie cup. And most of their players are now playing in the big clubs, and they have a lot of experience in football. If it had been so difficult two years ago, I would have panicked a long time ago.
"Senna took the ball and no one from the Greek side came to grab the ball. They had already retreated to the 30-metre area of their own half, completely allowing the Czech players to take the ball in midfield. Rosicky retreated. Senna handed the ball to Rosicky. ”
"Basiñas is in front. Don't let Rosicky break through at will. Rosicky began to accelerate, Rosicky broke through to the right, not ...... This is a wonderful man-ball split, a small space in the blink of an eye! ”
Rosicky picked up the ball and then suddenly accelerated. Basinas was not surprised. Because what Rosicky does best in the Bundesliga is sudden acceleration. And then a long run. Then there's his wonderful long-pass ability and through-ball ability. So after the acceleration of Rosicky. Basinas stood still and didn't panic. He understands that it will be difficult for him to defend Rosicky alone, but the Greek team's defense is a system, and there are Karagunis and Zagorakis behind Basinas.
Such layers of defense made it difficult for the Czechs to break through. It was Maradona who came. It will also be very difficult to break through such layers of defense. Rossi has tried many individual breakthroughs in the basic game, but none of them have succeeded. After all, if you can break through one, then can you break through the second, can you break through the third.
Therefore, Basinas and Karagunis in the back are not in a hurry after standing in their positions. Rosicky dribbled and suddenly accelerated to break through from the right side, but when he was about to face Basinas, he suddenly went to the left and then broke through from the right side. Rosicky's ball was split in the blink of an eye, and Basinas himself was stunned.
Basinas is not a defender, he is a central midfielder in a midfield position. Defending is not his job, and he is much worse than those defensive players in terms of defensive awareness and ability. Therefore, when Rosicky simply split the ball, Basinas originally wanted to defend Rosicky, but after seeing Rosicky kick the ball to the left, he instinctively wanted to break the ball, so his body came to the left side.
This is the most typical of fooling. A lot of great defenders never waver when faced with the ball. Either you defend against people or you defend against the ball, just guard one of them. But Basinas started trying to defend people, but it turned into a defensive ball again, but he didn't get anything.
Moreover, the misjudgment of Basiñas also interfered with the judgment of Karagunis in the back. Rosicky broke through from the right side of Basinas, but at the same time as he broke through, he immediately ran to the left because his ball was on the left. This time not only shook Basinas, but also left Karagunis, who came to help defend on the left side, behind. Rosicky broke through between Basinas and Karagunis in the middle of the flash.
The breakthrough was so brilliant that both Basinas and Karagunis were stupid. None of them expected that they were already in a good position and were broken through like this by Rosicky.
"Rosicky, Rosicky's breakthrough was wonderful. Rosicky continued to break through with the ball, and Zagorakis ...... Tripping Rosicky, it's a foul! ”
After all, Zagorakis was born in a midfielder and has a very strong defensive ability. He knew that Rosicky's sudden breakthrough could easily disrupt Greece's defensive system. In the face of a dense defence, individual breakthroughs and long-range shots are very effective. Therefore, Zagorakis knew that Rosicky must not be allowed to continue to break through, so he stepped forward to block.
In history, even if Rosicky was seriously injured, he was still explosive and fast at the age of thirty-three. Not to mention Rosicky, who is now only twenty-three years old. Rosicky's explosiveness and speed are a magic weapon, and in the Bundesliga, Rosicky is often able to complete a dragon attack. It is by virtue of his strong explosiveness and speed, coupled with his excellent jishu.
This time was no exception. After breaking through Basinas and Karagunis, Rosicky's pace was in full swing. Zagorakis was already too late to defend. So he stumbled over Rosicky directly. This position is still 278 meters from the goal, which Zagorakis believes is a safe distance. If you let him go, then you will directly threaten the Greek goal.
"Foul...... Why didn't the referee blow the whistle, the ball was not a dead ball. The Czechs continue to attack, Nedved! ”
After Zagorakis tripped Rosicky, he knew he had committed a foul, so he spread his hands against the referee. He understood that it was a tactical foul and he would get a yellow card, but he didn't care. However, he found that the referee, who was supposed to blow the whistle, ignored him and Rosicky, who fell to the ground, and continued to run forward. Only then did Zagorakis react, and it turned out that Rosicky had poked the ball himself out at the moment of his foul. Poked Nedved who cut in on the left.
Nedved cut in the middle. Jankulovski went up from the left. The foul on Zagorakis just now made all the Greek players pause. A lot of people think the referee will blow the whistle. It was only a blink of an eye, but it was enough for Nedved. Nedved stopped the ball with his left foot and fired a powerful right-footed shot.
In fact, according to the Greek defensive system. It's hard to have long-range chances in this position. But it was precisely because of Rosicky's sudden breakthrough. Disrupted the Greek defense. Plus after a foul on Zagorakis. Charlisteas, who followed Nedved, paused, as did the Greek centre-back, who was supposed to come out to defend the long-range shot.
It was just the blink of an eye, and soon they all reacted. But it's a little blink of an eye. Nedved has finished shooting.
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
"Nedved! Nedved! Nedved! Nedved! Nedved! ”
The commentators weren't all Czech fans, but the game was too monotonous to watch. It was at this time that Nedved's heavy artillery changed the situation, and the commentator was of course excited. Nedved's name was shouted by the narrator almost a dozen times before he ended shouting.
"One to zero, one to zero. The Czechs attacked Greece for a full 80 minutes before finally breaking the Greek goal. It's difficult for Greece now, Rehhagel defended for 80 minutes, and now it's too difficult to attack. It's so important. ”
'The crunch time was still Nedved. The Czech Republic's victory over the Netherlands in the group stage was the goal that led Nedved to score the game, and now it was Nedved who scored the opening goal in such an important game. ”
Watching the goal, Nedved was also very excited. If they don't score again, the Czech players will really get tired. So after the goal, Nedved excitedly ran to the place where the Czech fans gathered.
"Pavel! Pavel! Pavel! ”
"Champion! Champion! We are the champions! ”
"Haha, we're going to the Stadium of Light. We're going to the Stadium of Light. ”
"Hooray! Pavel! Banzai! Pavel! ”
Czech fans are not your average kind of excitement. In addition to the Czech fans, the neutral fans are also supporting the Czech Republic. Compared to the big names in the Czech Republic, the Greek stars are too new to them. They're certainly willing to support the stars they know, not strangers they don't know at all.
Not to mention the fans, even the fans in front of the TV are mostly Czech fans. At the very least, the Czechs have the stars they are familiar with, such as Nedved, Jankoller, Rosicky, and Poboski. Therefore, the neutral fans at the scene also stood up and cheered after Nedved's goal.
"What is a genius and what is a superstar. This game tells us the answer. The Czechs had absolutely no way to deal with Greece's dense defense, and at this time they needed a flash of genius and a thunderous blow from a superstar. Rosicky used his brilliant breakthrough to disrupt the Greek defence. And Nedved broke the deadlock with a brilliant long-range shot. That's genius, that's superstar. ”
Greece was completely stunned. They defended for 80 minutes, and it was just such a small mistake, not even a mistake, but they conceded a goal. They wanted to attack, but when they did, they found that the Czech Republic was far more powerful than they had imagined. In particular, the midfielders can't break through at all, so they can only play high. Pulled Charistias, who originally played on the right side, to the middle and became a center forward. The Greek side is starting to get anxious, because there is not much time left.
"Fisas, long pass...... Charlie Steas headed the ball in, Gilberto. Silva zhanzhu took the position, Gilberto. Silva broke the ball. ”
On the defense of the Czech Republic is also shijie top-notch. Although Rozenar and Ujfarusi are not the top central defenders in Shijie, they are both qualified to play as the main central defenders in the European powerhouses. This time Rozenar interfered with Charlistias, so although Charlisteas hit the ball, he simply touched the ball.
As soon as the ball hit the ground, he was a Czech genius. Because Gilberto. Silva and Senna both dropped back to protect the backline, and Gilberto. Silva cut off the ball straight away. Then it was handed over to Rosicky in front.
Before the goal, Gilberto. Silva rarely gets the ball to Rosicky in front. Because it was given to Rosicky, Rosicky had to give it back to Senna. The front is full of people, and Rosicky can't do anything even if he gets the ball. But when the Greeks wanted to attack, they scattered. Rosicky has plenty of space.
"Rosicky, a large open field in front of Rosicky. Rosicky, what a pass this is! ”
Rosicky didn't have the kind of pass he used to have, but gently picked up the ball and handed it to Jankoler in front. Jankoller didn't show much in this game and was always suppressed by the Greek players. So he stepped back to see Rosicky's pass, and instead of stopping at his feet, he gently pushed back with the back of his head.
"Jankole, Barosh. Jankoller's header went to the right and Baros came up. ”
Barosh came on in place of Poboski, but he didn't expect to have a chance within a few minutes of playing. Jankoller's header gave Baros the best chance. Barosh was very fast, and this anti-offside position was directly a one-handed opportunity. This was the first time that a Czech player had successfully countered offside in this game.
At the beginning of the game, the Greek players had no room for offside because they were all retreating. But when the Greek players attacked, Baros immediately had a chance to counter offside.
"Barosh, shoot!"
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
"Five minutes, the Czech Republic settled the battle in five minutes. Baroshe, who came on as a substitute, scored the winning goal. (To be continued......)
