Chapter 307: 71 bloodbath in Brazil, shocking the world!

While Messi was training harder, Lin Quan was also training harder.

The difference is that Lin Quan is the object of practice.

Because his playing style is so similar to Messi's, in order to simulate Argentina's offensive tactics as much as possible, especially when facing Messi, how should the Spanish defense defend him.

Bosque specially arranged Lin Quan to play Messi and arranged a special training for the Spanish defenders.

Lin Quan didn't care about it and just treated it as a breakthrough training.

The Spanish defenders, on the other hand, were wailing all over the place.

They had seen Lin Quan bullying the opponent's defender on the court before, and they felt so jealous that they wanted to hug Lin Quan and kiss him.

But now, when they faced Lin Quan themselves, they immediately experienced the feeling that the opponent's defender had once experienced.

They were really tortured! Now when they saw Lin Quan, they all wanted to take a detour! They were scared, really scared!

"It seems that the simulation effect is quite good?"

Bosque chatted with defensive coach Puyol on the sidelines.

Puyol's mouth twitched: Which eye of yours looks good? This defense line was almost beaten into a sieve by Lin Quan, how can it be good?

"Haha, I think Lin Quan is better than Messi. Just because they can't defend Lin Quan doesn't mean they can't defend Messi!"

"Besides, the game hasn't started yet, right? We still have time to slowly improve the defensive level of our back line!"

Puyol instinctively wanted to refute Bosque's first statement.

As the captain of Barcelona, ​​he has almost watched Messi grow little by little to the level of the superstar he is today.

So no one knows Messi's strength better than him! In the past few years, when the outside world called Ronaldo and Messi the two greatest players of all time, Puyol was very disdainful of this title! Puyol, who has played against Ronaldo many times in the league, recognizes Ronaldo's strength, but he still thinks Messi is not at the same level as Ronaldo.

C Ronaldo is the best among all the stars, the ultimate that ordinary people can achieve.

But Messi can't do that. To reach his level, one must be a genius!

However, when Puyol thought of the progress Lin Quan had made in the past two years and the strength he had demonstrated in the game, he held back his rebuttal.

There is no doubt that Lin Quan is also a genius.

He is also a genius of the same type as Messi. It is no wonder that when he just debuted, the outside world called him Messi II.

But later, as Lin Quan's performance in the league, the Champions League and even the national team became better and better, gradually catching up with or even surpassing Messi's performance, this title changed.

Lin Quan now might actually be better than Messi.

After all, data don't lie. Since last season, Messi's data in the league, the Champions League and this World Cup have been suppressed by Lin Quan.

Moreover, after Messi was injured last year, his explosiveness and breakthrough abilities have declined a lot.

So at this time, Messi, in terms of dribbling ability alone, is really not as good as Lin Quan.

From a certain perspective, there is nothing wrong with Bosque's point of view.

"There are some differences between their playing styles. It is still impossible to completely simulate Messi's effect!"

Puyol has been teammates with Messi and Lin Quan, so he is more familiar with their playing habits and personal characteristics.

For ordinary defenders, it is impossible to defend players of the level of Lin Quan and Messi by relying on one-on-one defense.

We can only design some defensive tactics, use double-teaming and pressing to limit them or their teammates.

When Messi was at Barcelona, ​​he always encountered targeted defense from opponents in the league and the Champions League. It was not uncommon to see him being double-teamed or even triple-four-teamed.

Although sometimes this double-team tactic did not succeed, it instead contributed to a series of classic scenes such as Messi taking on four or even five people at once and inspecting the back line.

However, if this kind of many-to-one restriction fails every time, the scene of Messi breaking through multiple interceptions will never become a classic.

Therefore, this tactic is definitely effective, and Messi cannot always break through double-teaming.

However, they need to spend more time studying the most appropriate number of players to press the ball.

The number of players on the court is the same for both teams. If too much defense is put into a certain player, one of the other players on the other side will definitely be left open.

If the opponent quickly finds the gap and passes the ball to create a threatening attack, the result will be more trouble than gain.

Especially when Argentina's frontcourt attacking group is so luxurious, it is not enough to just limit Messi.

Although their shooters performed very poorly in this World Cup, what if they recover in the semi-finals? After all, whether it is Higuain, Aguero or Di Maria, their strength has been tested in the league and the Champions League, and they are not the kind of players who are in name only.

Therefore, when designing defensive tactics against Messi, these guys cannot be ignored.

Although Argentina had played stumblingly in previous games and was far from as smooth as Spain, the opponent was a traditional powerhouse in South America, and neither Bosque nor the Spanish team underestimated them.

Before the World Cup started, Argentina was the favorite to win.

And now, they can make it all the way to the finals despite being in poor form, which is enough to prove their strength.

Spain sees Argentina as a strong rival, while Argentina sees Spain as a stumbling block.

Their head coach Sabella's hair turned white with worry after repeatedly watching Spain's route in the past few games.

Spain is so strong, how can Argentina beat it?

If we are unfortunately eliminated by Spain, will I be forgiven by the fans?

As the head coach of Argentina, Sabella is under great pressure to lead the team.

In both the 2010 and 2014 World Cups, Argentina had very strong lineups.

Especially in the last World Cup, if a better coach had been hired and Maradona, an amateur coach, had not been allowed to mess around, Argentina would have had a very high chance of winning the championship.

Argentina's lineup in 2010 was unprecedentedly luxurious. The team not only had the Inter Milan axis that had just won the Champions League, but also Samuel, Zanetti, Cambiasso and Diego Milito.

There is also Messi in his prime and Higuain in his prime.

This lineup includes the first and second scorers in La Liga and the top scorer in Serie A, but was shut out by the German team...

If Maradona had not done anything stupid and copied Mourinho's tactics at Inter Milan, focusing on defense and using Messi's speed and breakthrough advantage to deal with opponents, he would definitely not have been beaten so badly by the German team.

However, Maradona's tactical arrangement was really confusing. Instead of putting Messi in the front to threaten the opponent's goal, he put him in the midfield as an organizer, keeping the most threatening player in the team away from the goal.

In that quarter-final, Argentina played in chaos. The players were nervous and confused on the field, especially after Germany took the lead, they seemed to have no idea how to play the game.

As Maradona's successor, Sabella is under no less pressure than his predecessor.

In this World Cup, Argentina's lineup is still strong.

Even compared to four years ago, they are now more star-studded.

However, Sabilla himself was treading on thin ice.

His coaching experience is very limited. Not only has he been a coach for a very short time, he has also never had any experience coaching a top club.

The experience of coaching a top club is very important for a coach, especially a national team coach.

Because it is difficult for ordinary teams to have top stars! The Argentine team is full of stars, and there are countless top stars from the five major leagues. How to use so many big-name stars and how to maintain the atmosphere in the locker room are things he has never experienced before.

Simply put, Sabilla had only driven a cheap Old Man Le, but suddenly took over a luxury sports car worth tens of millions in Argentina.

With his ability, he simply can't control it.

This is also the reason why Argentina had such a hard time playing in this World Cup despite having an all-star lineup.

He doesn't know how to use these top superstars in the frontcourt and how to maximize their power!

And this problem obviously cannot be solved in a short time.

So, Sabella was a little hesitant, not knowing whether to be more conservative and use defensive counterattack tactics in the match against Spain.

Although Argentina's defensive counterattack may sound a bit unpleasant, this tactic is really effective.

Especially for novice coaches, they can only consider offense after doing a good job of defense!

…

On July 9, the first match of the 2014 World Cup semi-finals, Brazil vs. Germany, kicked off.

The World Cup, which was reignited after four days, attracted the close attention of hundreds of millions of fans around the world.

Fans in some regions even call their friends and stay up late to watch the game, just to be the first to enjoy the most exciting and intense football matches in the world!

For example, for fans of a certain Eastern country, when the game started, it was already four o'clock in the morning in the country, but there was still a group of people staying up late to watch the game.

Unfortunately, the Chinese national football team still did not appear in this World Cup. If the Chinese national football team could make it to the World Cup, the popularity would be unimaginable! At 19:00, the game officially started.

Before the start of this game, the Brazilian team suffered a significant loss in strength due to the absence of two generals.

However, fans who were extremely confident in the Brazilian team made confusing remarks before the game.

What is the real Brazil without Neymar? The invincible Hulk will destroy the German tank with his body as strong as a bull.

What with Paulinho and Fernandinho being two iron gates, the German team will win if their midfield can finish the game standing.

After the opening, the Brazilian team seemed to be unaffected by the absence of Neymar and his sister-in-law.

In the first ten minutes of the game, the Brazilian team played very actively and proactively. With the cheers of more than 60,000 fans at the Mineirão Arena, they launched fierce attacks on the German team's goal again and again.

In the third minute of the game, Marcelo's long shot from outside the penalty area slipped past the goal, causing the Samba fans at the scene to sigh and the German fans to exclaim.

They are worthy of being the favorite to win the World Cup. Even in the absence of two main players, they are still so strong.

However, a few minutes later, German fans changed their minds.

In the 11th minute, the German team got a corner kick opportunity.

When kicking off, Kroos observed the position of his teammates and kicked the ball to the back point.

Brazil's defense made a fatal mistake. Almost all the players rushed to the front point, but ignored Thomas Muller at the back point.

Erwa, who was unmarked, volleyed the ball from about 8 meters away from the goal and sent it into the goal.

Germany is leading Brazil 1:0! This is Muller's fifth goal in this World Cup. With this goal, he surpassed Messi and moved up to third place in the scorer list, only behind Lin Quan and James Rodriguez who has been eliminated.

This goal made the German fans at the scene extremely excited. Facing a strong team like Brazil, they were able to take the lead first, which would greatly improve their chances of winning the game.

On the Brazilian side, although tens of thousands of fans at the scene were frustrated by the goal, they did not think that they would definitely lose the game.

They firmly believe that with the strong strength of the Brazilian team, it is only a matter of time before the score is equalized.

At this time, no one realized the seriousness of the matter.

Little did they know that Muller's goal marked the beginning of a tragedy.

In the 23rd minute, Kroos made a straight pass from the middle, Muller dribbled the ball skillfully and passed it to Klose secretly.

Klose's shot from 9 meters on the right was saved by Cesar, but his subsequent shot went over the fallen Cesar and flew into the goal.

The score became 2:0. This was Klose's 16th goal in the World Cup, breaking the World Cup goal record jointly held by himself and Brazilian legend Ronaldo.

Moreover, when he scored the goal, the alien Ronaldo happened to be in the box of the Mineirão Arena.

The camera then turned to Ronaldo. The alien's expression was very serious. It was not known whether it was because Klose broke his record or because the situation of the Brazilian team took a sharp turn for the worse.

Speaking of which, Klose is only two years younger than Ronaldo, but the latter has retired for many years, while K can still play in the World Cup and even continue to score goals for the German team.

The difference in the length of their careers is very obvious.

From this moment on, the 36-year-old K will enjoy the title of World Cup top scorer.

However, this title may not last long, because in the other half of the zone, there is a monster who has scored 7 goals in 5 games and is eyeing this record. Moreover, this guy is only 18 years old this year, and he can still play in at least 4 World Cups!

If the first goal only made Brazilian fans feel a little nervous, then Klose's goal made Brazilian fans feel a little uneasy.

The Samba fans at the scene had blank expressions, and their pre-match enthusiasm gradually turned into a hint of sadness.

However, the Germans did not let them go! In the 24th minute, Ozil passed the ball from the midfield, Lahm's cross from the right was missed by Muller and Klose, and Kroos calmly shot the ball with the outside of his left foot from 11 meters in front of the goal and hit the bottom left corner of the goal.

3 to 0!

The German team had already killed the suspense of the game in the first half! In the commentary booths of various countries, commentators speaking various languages ​​were using words like "incredible", "unbelievable", and "unbelievable" to describe this game and the terrifying offensive of the German team.

However, this was just the beginning! In the 26th minute, it was Kroos again!

He stole the ball from his club teammate Fernandinho in the frontcourt and passed it to Khedira, who made a cross from the left side of the penalty area.

Kroos broke into the penalty area and easily pushed the ball into the empty goal from 9 meters in front of the goal, 4-0!

Kroos scored two goals in two minutes, completely killing the suspense of the game! What's more terrifying is that Germany's second and fourth goals were scored only 179 seconds apart.

This was achieved even though they had two celebrations!

The Brazilian defense was completely broken!

The Brazilian fans who came to the scene were completely plunged into sadness and despair. The scene of a little boy wiping his tears in front of the camera made the fans at the scene and in front of the TV feel a little heartbroken.

The Germans were too cruel!

However, this is not the end!

In the 29th minute, Hummels dribbled the ball in the middle and made a straight pass. Khedira passed the ball in front of the penalty area. Ozil knocked it back from the left side. Khedira pushed the ball from 14 meters in front of the goal and the ball went into the lower left corner of the goal from under the defender's crotch.

The score became 5 to 0!

Germany coach Loew, who was on the sidelines, covered his mouth in fear when the team scored the fifth goal. He himself was stunned by the score.

When the German team scored the first goal, Loew seemed very excited and hugged and high-fived his assistants and players on the bench to celebrate.

However, after the team scored four goals in five minutes, he could no longer laugh.

Not only was he unable to laugh, he was even a little worried about whether his team could walk out of the stadium alive.

You bunch of bad boys, take it easy, I don’t want to die here!

Not only Löw himself had such concerns, but the German fans who came to the scene were also terrified.

They were far outnumbered by Brazilian fans and were shivering in the middle, surrounded by sad Brazilian fans.

So when they saw Kroos score the fourth goal and Khedira score the fifth goal, instead of celebrating, they covered their faces with their hands and couldn't help wiping away the cold sweat.

After finally waiting until the end of the first half, Löw hurried back to the locker room.

"Listen, in the second half, no one is allowed to use any means to humiliate the Brazilian team by scoring five goals. If anyone violates this rule, I will immediately replace him and will not use him in the final. Do you understand?"

Löw's expression was very serious. Scoring five goals was already an extreme humiliation for the Brazilian team. If the German players had any verbal or physical provocation at this time.

Then they can really think about the aftermath...

"Of course, we can't let the opponent win. We need to play seriously and perform at our best level. This is the best respect for the opponent!"

The German players showed their usual rigor or rigidity, and they really didn't let up in the second half.

Facing Brazil's counterattack in the second half, Neuer made a series of wonderful saves, blocking consecutive shots from Oscar and Paulinho.

After blocking Brazil's counterattack, Germany started scoring again.

In the 69th minute, Schurrle, who replaced Klose, scored Germany's sixth goal of the game.

This goal also broke the Brazilian team's historical record. This was the first time they conceded 6 goals in a single game in the World Cup.

Ten minutes later, Muller crossed the ball from the left after an offside trap, and Schurrle volleyed the ball in from 9 meters in front of the goal to score another goal! 7-0!

Löw couldn't help but cover his face with his hands. You bunch of stupid guys, I told you not to let up, I didn't let you score goals like crazy!

Especially that idiot Schurrle, who actually wanted to celebrate after scoring a goal. Didn’t he see that the faces of other German players changed drastically after he scored a goal?

Fortunately, in the final moments of the game, the German players finally came to their senses.

In the Brazilian team's counterattack before the end of the game, their back line was perfunctory and used a strolling defense, giving Brazil a consolation goal.

In the end, the score of the game was fixed at 7:1!

The German team used a victory that shocked the whole world, bloodbathed the host Brazil, and gave the opponent the most painful defeat in the history of the World Cup! (End of this chapter)
