Yesterday's prediction was horrifyingly accurate, but it was a pity that Morocco's substitute forward did not seize the opportunity given by Taozi. So many single shots were either lost or hastily shot, causing Spain to drag the game into a penalty shootout.
Speaking of Spain, Garvey's performance yesterday caused a lot of controversy. Tao Zi is also thinking that if it is a Premier League environment, how many years will Garvey suffer a serious injury? Of course, this fighting attitude itself is worthy of recognition, but it may not be suitable for him.
Portugal's game was even more accurate, almost everything was correct. The new Cristiano Ronaldo is also considered a Cristiano Ronaldo. There is nothing wrong with the hat trick!
From now on, Ramos will be Portugal's new Cristiano Ronaldo, remember.
Next, let’s talk about the game on December 9th.
Croatia's match against Brazil was really a disaster. The only difference was whether they lost by a big score or by a small score.
If Taozi was the Croatian coach, then even if the team was scored a goal, Taozi would still defend and never get out, waiting until 70 minutes before fighting for his life. This turned a ninety-minute game into twenty minutes, greatly reducing Brazil's advantage and making everything possible.
But this is difficult to implement, because losing is equivalent to taking all the blame alone. Without great courage, it is impossible to do it, and the key benefits are not large. Even so, the chance of winning is still far less than the chance of losing.
In fact, Portugal and Brazil played a bit similar last night, a combination of long and short passes + ground coordination + personal flashes of inspiration, but the Brazilian midfielders and frontcourt players pressed harder and faster.
This is also the style of South American football as a whole, with everyone joining forces and fighting frantically in the midfield and frontcourt.
The advantage is that it is versatile in both offense and defense, and it is highly oppressive. The disadvantage is that it consumes a lot of energy, suffers from a physical crisis in the later stages, and stops playing once it falls behind. It relies on random crosses, and lacks psychological quality and insufficient tactical preparation.
Spain is also in the mold of Portugal and Brazil, but they are too obsessed with short passes and lack the coordination of long passes. However, in fact, long passes are often fatal in passing and control tactics. Spain had long passes yesterday, but not enough; the players were not capable enough to seize such opportunities.
In addition, if there is no vertical penetration of speed and dribbling players in the passing and controlling tactics, there will be no threat.
The personal abilities of Spanish players are quite mediocre. Without speed monsters, players are not allowed to make overly fancy dribbling attempts, which stifles this vertical penetration.
Enrique does not have much coaching talent. He is obsessed with unimportant traditions and likes to create confrontations and exclude dissenters. He cannot see the real strength of that Barcelona and that Spanish team. He is destined to fail.
Both Brazil and Portugal have vertical players with speed and dribbling, but Brazil has more such talents, so its offense is stronger. Portugal wins because it has the header ability in the frontcourt that Brazil does not have, making it more comprehensive.
Therefore, Brazil has a higher upper limit and a slightly lower lower limit; while Portugal is more resilient and has the ability to reverse and chase points. Portugal has an advantage in this cup competition, which is why Taozi said Portugal is the team of destiny.
This is also another huge role that Ronaldo plays for Portugal in addition to being a leader on the field. If nothing else goes wrong, Ronaldo will score key goals in the game against France and in the World Cup finals, most likely with a header, and lead the team to win the Hercules Cup (a beautiful fantasy)!
but! The header tactic is only a supplement to the main tactic. It is essentially an extremely inefficient offensive method. Portugal has always used this as the main tactic before, which completely wasted the players' abilities.
The purpose should be to find Cristiano Ronaldo. Such a goal that is too clear is really not advisable. Both Juventus and Manchester United have been making this mistake. There are many reasons. It cannot be said that it has nothing to do with Cristiano Ronaldo, but it is more. There are various other reasons (the coach's tactical level, the pressure from the top management, the admiration or rebellious psychology of other players including the coach), which will be analyzed in detail with you later.
Fortunately, Portugal has now woken up and has barely raised its level to that of France and Brazil, and is truly capable of competing for the championship.
In the second game between the Netherlands and Argentina... Taozi made some mistakes and missed almost all Argentina's games. The main thing is that Tao Zi is not Mei Hei. He doesn't insist on watching Argentina's games. He will watch it when he catches up and stop watching when he can't catch up. He is different from those Luo Hei who stay up late and watch Cristiano Ronaldo's game. Moreover, after the Argentinian seat-occupying incident, Tao Zi now feels somewhat uncomfortable when seeing Argentina jerseys.
But Peach seems to have watched all the Dutch games.
The Dutch offense has too many problems. Whether it works or not depends entirely on whether De Jong can play or not. It is almost the same as the protagonist Deng Kai in the Taozi book who puts Sneijder in the midfielder position!
The difference is that in reality the Dutch team only has one De Jong, and there is no van der Vaart who is in the front in the book (it seems to have been recently, with Depay finding a feeling in the frontcourt, the Dutch team may have made up for the shortcomings), and the offense needs De Jong to start from the front. The backcourt goes to the frontcourt in person, but it is impossible for one person to do both of these things at the same time, so the Dutch offense was powerless most of the time.
In the first half of this game, it was difficult for the Dutch offense to improve. The South American team was very aggressive in the early stage, and De Jong would be pressed on the back line.
If the Dutch team scores a goal, it will definitely be in the second half, and there is a very small chance that it will be after 35 minutes of the first half. As Argentina's offense became slightly sluggish, once De Jong came forward, the Netherlands' organized offense became a threat.
But is Argentina a sure winner?
Let's put it this way, if Argentina wasn't leading seventy minutes ago, the winner would be the Netherlands.
I have mentioned the advantages and disadvantages of the South American team before. Once the game reaches the later stage, if they fail to achieve their expected goals, they will take wild shots and make mistakes.
Argentina's striker has no height to begin with, and the Netherlands' defense is among the best in the world. This defense will even score goals from set kicks while guarding Argentina, becoming the key to the Netherlands' victory.
So...the Netherlands has a high probability of beating Argentina!
