Chapter 163 I’ll kick you and call you a bitch!
“At the start of the second half, I wonder what adjustments Scolari’s Brazilian team will make!”
Andy Gray looked at the two teams of players walking out of the player tunnel and spoke.
"Brazil's main problem in the first half was their attack. They had a strong offensive firepower in the group stage and the knockout stage, but in the final, their attack seemed to fail."
Martin Taylor pointed out the problems of the Brazilian team very clearly.
“Also, their defense doesn’t seem as solid as expected.
Thiago Silva's personal ability is indeed strong, but his cooperation with his national team teammates does not seem to be tacit.
In the first half of the game, the Brazilian defenders chased the ball many times and then missed the players they were defending! "
"Yes, these problems exist objectively. As a champion coach, Scolari cannot be unaware of these problems, so let us look forward to what adjustments he will make!"
Brazilian fans in the Maracana Stadium are also looking forward to a different performance from the Brazilian team in the second half.
Especially the football king Pele sitting in the box.
When Brazil scored the first goal in the first half, Pele couldn't wait to post a picture of Brazil 1:0 Spain on social media to show that he was not a pessimist.
But before he could be happy for long, Spain equalized the score with a wonderful combination.
Well, it's just an equalizer. With the form of the Brazilian boys today, it's only a matter of time before they take the lead again.
However, he did not wait for Brazil's goal, but waited for Spain's goal.
When Pele saw Lin Quan leisurely break through the siege and score Spain's second goal amidst a huge enemy, the King of Football himself stood there for almost half a minute.
When he saw Spain had reversed the game with a score of 2:1, Pele began to sweat coldly! It was over!
Now I really have become a crow's mouth!
Pele, who had just been happily browsing social media and enjoying the praise from fans, now felt as if the phone in his hand weighed a thousand pounds and he was trembling and could hardly hold it up! On the Internet, angry Brazilian fans did not insult their own king, but instead scolded the Brazilian team's defenders.
Alves, Thiago Silva, David Luiz, Marcelo!
The luxurious defense that the Brazilians were proud of before the game was as fragile as a piece of paper and broke at the slightest touch.
Brazilian fans felt a burning pain on their faces when they thought of their bold words before the game: "Who can break this defense line?"
Of course, it is impossible to get them to admit their mistakes, so they can only use these players as punching bags! Praise them when they win and scold them when they lose.
This phenomenon of exaggerating things is common among football fans around the world.
However, a certain Chinese national football team has been losing so much that its own public opinion field has almost become a spittoon, and it has become a situation where everyone is cursing it.
…
Bosque sat in the coaching seat and calmly drank a sip of water.
While drinking water, he watched the game on the field.
He could conclude that during the half-time break, Scolari must have developed targeted tactics to deal with Spain.
However, Bosque did not easily change the team's tactics.
His adjustments to the team's arrangements will not be implemented until after 65 minutes. Now, Spain is still using the style of play from the first half.
There's a saying in football that winning teams don't have to change anything.
Since the team can win, it proves that this lineup is effective and these players have chemistry on the court.
Random adjustments may backfire.
Even if you want to make adjustments, you have to wait until your opponent makes a move.
Compared with Bosque's calm expression, Scolari on the other side was much more nervous.
Although the Brazilian team has won two consecutive Confederations Cup titles, the value of this title does not seem to be that great for them.
But this game is of extraordinary significance. This is the Confederations Cup held in their own home town, and they are facing the world's number one team.
For Brazil, which is aiming to win the championship, this game is a preview of next year's World Cup final.
If they lose this game, it will be a huge blow to the morale and confidence of the Brazilian team.
The last time Scolari was able to lead Brazil to win the World Cup, one reason was because the team was very strong.
Brazil, with a host of stars including Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo and Roberto Carlos, has almost the strongest lineup in history.
Moreover, there were many refereeing scandals during the World Cup in Japan and South Korea. Due to the refereeing scandals and the poor performance of the opponents, Brazil's biggest competitors, France and Italy, were eliminated early.
The team that made it to the final was the German team, which was obviously inferior to them.
But in next year's World Cup, unless Brazil bribes the referee, it will defeat Spain before the final.
Otherwise, they will face the challenge of the defending champions.
This team of matadors is not the old, weak and sick German team of the past, and it will be extremely difficult for Brazil to defeat them.
It was originally thought that Spain's aging lineup could not withstand the impact of these young men in the team, but who would have thought that Spain's tactical core was so young.
Isn't it ridiculous to use the tactic of "outlasting an old man" to deal with a young man who is not even 18 years old? Thinking of the end, Scolari could only sigh in his heart: What kind of shit luck did Spain have? When they were about to fall from the peak, such a guy appeared! With Lin Quan, Spain's peak will probably continue for at least another five years! When a large number of main players such as Xavi, Iniesta, Fabregas, Busquets, etc. retired, and there were no strong enough players in Spain to replace them, the collapse of the Spanish dynasty could be announced.
And now, it's too early!
…
Scolari's adjustments did have some effect.
After his midfield adjustments, Brazil's defense became much more stable.
The Brazilian players knew that Spain was good at passing the ball, so they stopped chasing the ball.
Instead, he closely follows his target and does not give the opponent an easy chance to get the ball.
In this way, Spain's attack can be restricted by limiting the opponent's passing points.
In addition to making adjustments to the defense, Scolari also made adjustments to the offense.
He had the wingers alternate between using low crosses and cutting inside to shoot when attacking.
And the players are required to cooperate as much as possible in the offense to avoid falling into the dilemma of fighting alone in the first half.
Neymar, Hulk, Oscar and others faithfully implemented his tactical arrangements. The three of them often crossed positions on the court, passing the ball and cooperating with each other to try to tear open the Spanish defense.
However, because these three people do not play for the same club and the national team's training time is relatively short, there is not enough tacit understanding between them.
In the frontcourt cooperation, the Brazilian players did not think together and made several mistakes.
But these conditions are gradually improving.
These three are all very strong players, especially Neymar.
Not only can he break through and shoot on his own, he also has a good pass and can create space and provide assists to his teammates.
After he changed his playing style and was willing to cooperate more with his teammates, Brazil's offensive threat was clearly increasing.
The Spanish players realized this, so they increased their defense on Neymar.
But Neymar is not easy to defend!
Neymar is very flexible and has excellent dribbling, passing and shooting abilities.
Although he does not have as fast a footwork frequency as Lin Quan, his footwork skills combined with fake moves are very deceptive, and his success rate in one-on-one dribbling is not low.
The most important point is that Neymar, like many South American players, has strong creativity and his football is full of imagination! However, Neymar has one thing that is not so good, he is a bit sticky to the ball.
Once the ball sticks, it gives the opponent a chance to foul.
The Spanish players may not be sure they can snatch the ball from Neymar's feet, but they can still knock him over or tackle him.
So, after the start of the second half, there were several times when Neymar was kicked over by Spanish players, and then he dived or rolled on the field.
When Brazilian fans saw Neymar being constantly violated by the opposing players, they booed and protested against the Spaniard's brutal style of play.
However, Lin Quan on the other side was often fouled by Brazilian players when dribbling the ball.
Both sides know who poses the greatest threat, so they will naturally target Lin Quan and Neymar in a targeted manner.
However, unlike Neymar, Lin Quan will not do an exaggerated dive or roll on the ground with his legs hugged after being fouled.
Even if he was knocked down, he would quickly get up and continue fighting without even a word of complaint.
On the other hand, Neymar's reaction after being fouled was a bit too exaggerated.

Comparing the two sides, the neutral fans naturally all stood on Lin Quan's side and could no longer sympathize with Neymar.
"Damn, Diving Luo has a successor!"
"Neymar should just go to Hollywood to develop his career. It's really a waste of his talent in the football world!"
"He is indeed a player that Barcelona has taken a fancy to. He has just joined Barcelona and has such acting skills. I admire him!"
"Lin Huang is an honest man. If he rolled on the ground holding his legs and wailing like Neymar after being fouled, the Brazilian defender would probably get a few more yellow cards!"
For neutral fans, they watch the game with the mentality of enjoying the exciting game.
So they hate people like Neymar. Every time the game is intense, he suddenly dives into the water, interrupting the rhythm of the game, making the game intermittent, which greatly affects the viewing experience.
Although he was violated many times, Neymar's threat did not decrease at all.
In the 58th minute of the game, Neymar was dribbling the ball on the wing and two Spanish players nearby immediately double-teamed him.
Neymar's physical confrontation ability is not strong, at least not stronger than Martinez, who is 1.92 meters tall.
When he was pressed by several Spanish players, the Brazilian fans at the scene were worried for him, thinking that he was going to be kicked down again!
Neymar is different from Lin Quan. He cannot use changes in rhythm to pass the opponent's defender like Lin Quan.
But he often comes up with some incredible ways to deal with things.
Seeing Martinez approaching, Neymar gently kicked the ball to the left.
After observing the movement of his opponent's body center of gravity, Neymar suddenly stepped the ball back with his foot.
This goal was very unexpected and also very dangerous.
When Neymar was stepping on the ball, his other foot just left the ground, which means that his center of gravity was on the foot that was stepping on the ball.
However, if you step on the ball to shift your center of gravity, you may fall flat on your face if you are not careful because of the rolling of the ball.
However, Neymar's excellent balance prevented him from falling, and he completed the action smoothly.
This action was completely beyond Martinez's expectations, and the grass seemed a little slippery, so Martinez staggered and lost his defensive position.
Only Monreal was left beside Neymar! The Arsenal defender was shocked and focused on the ball under Neymar's feet, while paying attention to the changes in the opponent's body center of gravity, ready to intercept at any time.
But the football seemed to come alive under Neymar's feet. He pushed the ball a little towards Monreal, luring his opponent to kick, then quickly pulled the ball back while retreating his body, then knocked the ball to his left foot while swinging his body to the left.
Monreal hurried to follow, but he didn't expect it to be a fake move.
Neymar moved left and right, tricking the opponent into diving to the left, and then breaking through to the right.
At this time, Martinez had already stood up and was preparing to make a steal.
Neymar lobbed the ball to his teammate in the middle, and then slipped past Martinez like a loach.
Fred received the ball and made a straight pass. Neymar was about to shoot when he was tackled by Ramos in the penalty area.
You're a bitch! You deserve to be tackled for the way you play football!
After the tackle, Ramos glared at Neymar and was too lazy to even reach out to pull him up.
There was an uproar at the scene! After a moment of silence, the Brazilian fans booed and protested to the referee, demanding a penalty kick.
The referee decisively showed Ramos a yellow card and awarded the Brazilian team a penalty.
Although Ramos tackled the ball, he tackled the person first and then tackled the ball.
Looking at his attitude towards Neymar after the tackle, many people suspected that this guy was going after him.
"I'm sorry to trouble you, Igor!"
Ramos calmed down after the tackle and realized he had made a mistake.
If there was no foul, Casillas might have saved the ball.
"It's okay. My positioning was not good just now. If he had shot directly, I wouldn't have been sure I could have saved it!"
Casillas patted Ramos on the shoulder and did not blame him.
Not to mention him, seeing Neymar teasing his teammates in that way, he wanted to kick Neymar.
Neymar's way of playing is very nice to watch, but that is from the perspective of his own fans and neutral fans.
If they were on the opponent's side, they would feel humiliated when they saw Neymar playing in this way and would not be able to help but want to foul.
You play football so cool, you stick to the ball so well, you have a flamboyant personality, and you are the offensive core of the team. Who else should I tackle if not you?
But the cost of this foul is a bit high.
On the Brazilian team's side, Neymar chose to take the penalty himself.
Casillas stared into Neymar's eyes without looking at his movements.
Neymar seemed to feel guilty and didn't dare to look Casillas in the eye.
He lowered his head and glanced at the right side of the goal, preparing to shoot in that direction.
His action was noticed by Casillas, who immediately made a dive to the right.
With a bang, the football was slapped away by Casillas.
The Spanish defender kicked the ball out of the sideline!
Casillas got up from the ground and roared domineeringly.
You are still a little naive if you want to break through the goal guarded by Casillas.
Brazil fans had already started celebrating when the referee awarded a penalty, but then saw Casillas save Neymar's shot.
The Maracanã Stadium, which seats 80,000 people, was silent.
