Chapter 100 Come on!(1/2)
The clouds were thick and there were scattered drizzles in the sky.
Such weather will make clothes wet and stick to the body, which is very uncomfortable, but the 45,000 fans and spectators at the Malvinas Stadium did not feel unhappy. The happy Argentines were singing and drinking in the stands.
, the atmosphere was very lively.
However, what is different from the past is that this time there are several large green and yellow areas in the fan stands, which are the stands for Brazilian fans. There are much more Brazilian fans coming to watch the game this time than the previous Dragon Kingdom fans and Korean fans.
Many beautiful girls have Brazilian flags painted on their faces.
"Welcome fans to the Malvinas Stadium. I am today's commentator Raul. Sitting next to me is your old friend Gonzalez. Today's highlight battle between Argentina and Brazil will be played by the two of us.
Bring commentary."
"Hello everyone, I'm Gonzalez."
"Okay, without further ado, let me first introduce to you the lineups of both sides today. Argentina still uses 3322. The three central defenders are Coloccini, Burdisso and Martinez, and the three midfielders are the defenders.
Midfielder Mekro, defensive midfielder Chen Mo and attacking midfielder D'Alessandro, the front line is a double arrow composed of two wingers Martinelli, Enyo, Saviola and Doromenchi.
The Brazilian team uses a 352 formation. The back line is composed of Sandro, Pauli, and Luo Luo, three more agile central defenders. The midfielder is Ferdinand and Kamau who form a double midfielder with excellent running ability.
The strong Leonard and Gabe serve as the wings, the core No. 10 Kaká plays in the center, and Adriano and Cayo form a double arrow at the front."
"The formations and lineups of the two teams are similar to what I guessed, but I didn't expect that Mr. Pekerman would let Xiao Mo start in this game. You must know that the Brazilian team they are facing has a very strong team.
The offensive firepower is not only Kaka in the attacking midfielder position, but also Adriano on the front line. Xiao Mo, who is obviously not enough in frontal defense, can be the starting midfielder to defend Kaka. Could it be said that he wants to use Xiao Mo to be excellent?
To use up Kaka’s physical strength, and then switch to a squatting midfielder like Brosi in the second half?”
"I think about the same thing as you. Brazil's midfield and backfield are a bit weak. They can reach the quarterfinals mainly because of the strong offensive firepower of Kaká and Adriano, and both of them like to play at the back very much.
The players with the ball between the two defensive lines in the midfield have a very wide running range. When they are full of physical fitness, Brosi, who has a small coverage area, may look very embarrassed, so Pekerman let Xiao Mo play.
Starter. Okay, the two teams have finished choosing sides, Argentina has the ball and attacks from left to right!"
The commentary was chattering, and as the referee whistled, Saviola in the center circle passed the ball back to D'Alessandro, who without hesitation swept the ball directly to Coloccini on the back line.
Watching the ball slide by in front of his eyes, Chen Mo rarely moved to respond, but ran closer to Brazilian attacking midfielder Kaka.
[This Brazilian team likes to play a 352 formation. Although their five midfielders seem to have a lot of people, except for Kaká, they are not strong, so this game does not require you to guide in the midfield. I want you to stick to it like a piece of chewing gum.
Kaka! Try every means to consume his physical energy! I will not allow him to easily get the ball between our back line and midfield!]
Before the game, coach Pekerman's instructions were still echoing in his ears. Chen Mo quietly squinted at Kaká beside him.
"This man is as handsome as me."
A strange thought suddenly appeared in his mind. Chen Mo was trembling and concentrated immediately, but he did not notice that Kaka was also secretly observing him at this time.
"Sure enough, as the coach said before the game, this little guy will probably keep an eye on me throughout the game. His physical fitness and awareness are very good, but his speed, flexibility and strength are not enough. As long as I can get enough space."
Thinking of this, Kaka started jogging to find an opening. Chen Mo didn't hesitate and just followed it.
As the absolute offensive core of the team and one of the only single-point blasters, the other four midfield teammates assigned to Kaká by the Brazilian team coach this time are all defensive heroes. With this kind of staffing, Kaká does not need
He retreats to help press, and more often he waits for an opportunity in the frontcourt to make a fatal blow.
On Argentina's side, because Chen Mo was assigned a special task by Pekerman, another midfielder, Mecro, began to take on more tasks of connecting the front and backcourts and pressing, and his position became further to the right and higher, and
Because of Mecro's position on the upper right, Argentina's defense also began to tilt that way, and the entire formation was tilted to the right.
As the game time passed bit by bit, the audience noticed a strange scene. Eighteen players except the goalkeeper were frantically fighting for possession of the ball. Chen Mo and Kaká on the left side of the court were wandering around like a couple in love.
Outside the crowd, whenever Kaká moved to the right, Chen Mo would switch positions with Mecro, and at the same time, the Argentine defense line tilted upward in the direction of Mecro.
Time passed slowly in the frontcourt battles and cross-changes.
"I thought it was going to be a match where Mars collided with the Earth, but in the first twenty minutes or so both sides played relatively conservatively. There were not a few exciting opportunities. I guess the fans were a little sleepy."
"This Brazilian team is completely different from the Samba football in our impression. The creativity and ball control ability of their midfielders are not outstanding, plus the double team with Saviola and D'Alessandro as the core
The terrifying offensive team with two forwards and one midfielder put too much pressure on them. Even if they got the ball, they didn't dare to move forward rashly. They were afraid of losing the ball due to being out of position, so many times they didn't get the ball for long. Argentina
They can counterattack and get the ball back through the frontcourt, which results in most of them being trapped in their own half and unable to organize an effective attack at all. This is a vicious cycle."
"Indeed, the offensive core of this Brazilian team is undoubtedly Kaká, who wears the No. 10 jersey, but the frontcourt blasting task he needs to bear in this game is still too heavy. If he uses up his energy too early to retreat to get the ball,
Maybe there will be problems in the second half when he needs to work hard on his physical fitness. I guess he is also waiting and watching now, wanting to see if his teammates can organize a decent offense on their own.
But having said that, Pekerman was really reassured about Xiao Mo. He even left such a large space on the side where Kaka was. You must know that if Kaka gets the ball and breaks through Chen Mo, there will be no obstacle.
He plays along the side road, and when the time comes, he can cross or cut in according to his wishes."
"There is no other way. Both Brosi and Mecoro are too slow. They are like old cars and their running range is also small. I want them to be like Xiao Mo who retreats multiple times in a game.
It is almost impossible to receive a pass from 20 to 30 meters, and then quickly move forward into the opponent's half to participate in the attack. The only way to ensure that is to have Mecro position himself higher and let the defense line get closer to him.
The connection between the front and backcourt is not cut off by the Brazilian team, and there is another key point. Kaká’s long-distance running ability is too strong. This has been verified many times in previous games, so Pekerman does not dare to put the entire
All three lines of defense passed half the court. If the Brazilian team only had to steal the ball and pass it long to find Kaká, we would not be able to defend at all.
But relatively speaking, this can be regarded as a big gamble by Pekerman. As long as Xiao Mo can lock Kaka, it will prove that this tactical system is feasible. After all, there is still a strength gap between other Brazilian players and Argentine players.
It's only a matter of time before he goes down and scores a goal, but if Xiao Mo is damaged by Kaká's one-on-one breakthrough, or even penetrated, then Pekerman's tactical adjustment will be in trouble."
"Oh, what you said makes me a little nervous for Xiao Mo."
"Haha, I have been a coach before, so I know that it is very troublesome to fail in key games at the tactical level."
The commentator seemed very relaxed as he rambled on, but on the field, Chen Mo was on tenterhooks.
"How can someone's movement be so flexible?!"
Shaking off the sweat on his chin, Chen Mo glanced at Kaka beside him and was secretly surprised. Although no goals were scored in the past twenty minutes, the scene seemed peaceful, but in fact there was an undercurrent. Kaka's movement was very agile.
And it starts very quickly.
Often, one second he was still standing next to him, but by the time he turned his head, he was already two or three meters away. And as the game progressed, this happened more and more frequently!
"He's reading me?!"
After once again confirming that Kaka was beside him, he turned his head to observe the situation on the field. When he turned around, he found that Kaka had moved two or three meters away, and Chen Mo's expression began to become extremely serious.
Just like Chen Mo can interpret the subconscious habits of other players to judge the opponent's behavior trajectory. Kaka is also interpreting his subconscious habits. This time Kaka caught him and liked to shake his head to observe after determining the position of a certain player.
The habits of other players, so that he can make moves at the moment when he swings his head to observe!
"A formidable opponent!"
With this in mind, Chen Mo caught up with Kaka, trying to change his accustomed rhythm, but he didn't notice that as he focused more on the rhythm changes, his control over the situation and position began to weaken!
Kaka, who was keenly aware of all this, raised a smile at the corner of his mouth. He raised his head and glanced at Adriano on the front line. The moment the two looked at each other, Adriano nodded slightly and began to move towards the right wing. As he moved,
, Argentina's defense also began to tilt to the right. At the same time, Kaká began to slowly move closer, gradually pulling Chen Mo to the more open left wing and closer to the center line, leaving more space for sprinting!
On the sidelines, Pekerman immediately clenched his fists when he saw this scene, "Coloccini! Pay attention to guard Kaka!"
The roar was very loud, but the cheers of the fans on the sidelines were even louder. At this moment, the Brazilian player who had never dared to pass the ball forward suddenly launched a big kick from the backcourt, and the ball went straight to the left wing!
"Oh! The Brazilian team, which had been dormant for more than 20 minutes and nearly 30 minutes, finally started to counterattack! The Brazilian team's midfielder Ferdinand made a long pass from the backcourt to find Kaká! Oh my god, Argentina actually left such a big space behind on the left
Time! Are they not afraid of Kaka’s counterattack at all?!”
"This ball is very fast! Kaka took the lead and chased towards the spot where the ball landed, followed by Xiao Mo! We have to catch up! Otherwise it will become a one-shot ball!!"
The moment the ball flew out, Kaká had already turned around and sprinted towards the Argentina half. Chen Mo also reacted quickly and immediately turned around and pounced on the ball.
"Don't even try to get the drop point!"
Although he reacted quickly, but after all, he was the defender. Chen Mo was still half a beat slower than Kaka in the first step. Looking at Kaka, who was more than half the body ahead of him and with long hair flying, Chen Mo gritted his teeth and shook both hands with all his strength.
The long legs catch up!
The two of them were rushing along the wing, chasing each other, and soon Kaka was unloading the ball on the wing and it was a violent trip!
Chen Mo originally thought that Kaka's speed would slow down after taking the ball, but after a few steps, Chen Mo was shocked to find that the distance between him and Kaka had not shortened at all! Kaka's speed was still very, very fast!
"Oh my god, Kaka's combination of man and ball is too strong and the speed is too fast. Even if he dribbles the ball, Xiao Mo can't catch up! It's over, it's going to be a one-man attack!"
"No! There is still a chance! Ferdinand's pass was a bit too big. Kaka's position with the ball was too close to the wing. If he wanted to cause damage, he had to get past Xiao Mo and cut inside!"
The excited commentary echoed over the Malvinas Stadium. In an instant, the two of them had rushed to the 45-degree angle of the penalty area. Kaka glanced up and saw Adriano on the left flank being blocked by two Argentine central defenders.
It is very difficult to catch points from a double defense and cross the ball!
"Just stick to him! Xiao Mo! He is more anxious than you!"
"One-on-one! Kaka got a one-on-one opportunity from Yu Xiaomo on the edge of the penalty area! He passed Xiaomo and cut inside to challenge the goalkeeper!"
The commentator roared wildly, and the fans and spectators from both teams stood up instantly.
In the midst of the lightning and flint, under the spotlight, Kaka suddenly shifted his center of gravity backward, slowed down, gently moved the ball to the left with the tip of his right foot, and at the same time feinted to the left with his shoulder, trying to get rid of Chen Mo by relying on the change of rhythm, and followed closely.
Then Chen Mo was well prepared. With his center of gravity kept very low, he immediately put his left foot on the ground. The inertia caused the spikes to lift up the turf. At the same time, he exerted force on his waist and abdomen, forcing his body to pull to the right, barely keeping up with Kaka's movements!
At this moment, running twenty meters away, Kaka, who had just made an emergency stop and changed direction, changed direction again! The moment the ball bounced to his left foot, his entire left leg tightened, and he instantly used the instep of his left instep to pull the ball towards
In front of him, Chen Mo passed by like a phantom, reaching the bottom line!
"Oh! God! Kaka has broken through Xiao Mo!"
"Is such a large change of direction really something a human can do?! And he did it after running at full speed for so long!"
"Superhuman balance!"
