The sky was overcast with scattered drizzle.
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 introduce to you the lineup of both sides today. Argentina still uses 3322. The three central defenders are Coloccini, Burdisso and Martinez, and the three midfielders are Midfielder Mekro, defensive midfielder Chen Mo and attacking midfielder D'Alessandro, the front line is a double arrow composed of two wingers Martinelli, Enyou, as well as Saviola and Doromenchi.
The Brazilian team adopts 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 wings, the core No. 10 Kaka plays as an attacking midfielder, and Adriano and Kayo form a double arrow on 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. Let Xiao Mo, who is obviously not enough in frontal defense, be the starting midfielder to defend Kaka... Could it be that he wants to use it? Xiao Mo uses his excellent physical fitness to consume Kaka, and then replaces Brosi's squatting midfielder in the second half?"
"I think 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 chosen 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 instead ran closer to Brazilian 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 you don’t need to guide you in the midfield in this game. I want you to stick to it like a piece of chewing gum. Kaka! Try every means to consume his physical energy! I won't allow him to get the ball easily between our backline and midfield! 】
Coach Pekerman's instructions before the game were still echoing in his ears. Chen Mo quietly squinted at Kaká beside him.
"This guy 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 may mark me all over the field. 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 team's absolute offensive core and one of the only single-point blasters, the other four midfield teammates assigned to Kaká by the Brazilian coach this time are all defensive heroes. With such a 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 the Argentina 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 would be a match where Mars collides with the earth, but in the first twenty minutes, both sides played relatively conservatively. There were not many 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, coupled with the double team composed of 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 goes down the wing, and when the time comes, he can cross or cut in as he pleases. "
"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 ball into his hands. All defense lines passed half the court. In that case, the Brazilian team only had to intercept the ball and make a long pass to find Kaká, and 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 proves that this tactical system is feasible. After all, there is still a strength gap between other Brazilian players and Argentine players. It will be a matter of time if Xiao Mo continues to play like this and scores goals, but if Xiao Mo is defeated by Kaka, If a breakthrough is caused to cause damage or even be penetrated, then Pekerman's tactical adjustment will be troublesome. "
"Oh, what you said makes me a little nervous for Xiao Mo."
"Haha, I've been a coach before, so I know how troublesome it is 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 is very agile, and his start speed is extremely fast.
Often he was still standing next to him a second ago, 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. Chen Mo's expression began to become extremely serious.
Just like Chen Mo, he 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 his habit of swinging his head to observe other players after determining a certain player's position, and then made a move at the moment he shook his head to observe!
"A formidable opponent!"
With this in mind, Chen Mo caught up with Kaka and tried to change his accustomed rhythm. However, he did not notice that as he focused more on the change of rhythm, 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 looked up 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 to the side, 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, there is such a big space in the back of Argentina's left wing Time! Are they not afraid of Kaka’s counterattack at all?!”
"This ball is very fast! Kaka took the lead and chased the ball towards the spot, followed by Xiao Mo! We have to catch up! Otherwise it will become a one-handed 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.
"Don't even try to get the landing 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 is 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 took the ball too close to the wing. If he wants to cause damage, he must pass 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 pass the defense and grab points!
"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 back, slowed down, gently moved the ball to the left with the toes of his right foot, and at the same time swayed his shoulder to the left, trying to get rid of Chen Mo by relying on the change of rhythm, and followed 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 the turf. At the same time, he exerted force on his waist and abdomen and forced his body to pull to the right, barely keeping up with Kaka's movements!
At this moment, after running for twenty meters, 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 tensed up, and he used the instep of his left foot to pull the ball forward. It flew past Chen Mo like a phantom and went straight to the baseline!
"Oh! God! Kaka broke through Xiao Mo!"
"Is such a huge change of direction really something a human can do?! And he did it after running at full speed for so long!"
"Superhuman balance!"
Right to left, left to right, after a long run, two acceleration changes completely threw Chen Mo's center of gravity away, and he sat on the ground. When he looked back, Kaka had already dribbled the ball to the right side of the goal!
Go straight in!
Facing the Argentinian goalkeeper blocking the near post, Kaka didn't hesitate at all. He opened his hands to maintain balance, and pushed the arch of his right foot in a cool and unrestrained way. The ball grazed the Argentine goalkeeper and the chasing Coloccini. Their toes quickly slid towards the far post!
The Brazilian fans behind the goal had already stood up, staring wide-eyed at the ball rolling towards the far post. Half a second later, the entire Brazilian fans cheered!
"Goal——Goal——Goal——!!! The ball is scored! In the 29th minute of the game, the Brazilian team opened the scoring with Kaká! The ball hit the far corner of the goal and bounced into the goal!!! This goal is so wonderful! !”
"Oh! It's really wonderful! Although I am an Argentinian, this is definitely a very wonderful single-handed goal! It is also a perfect reflection of Kaka's personal ability! Speed! Balance! Get rid of! Shoot! He is a perfect attacker! "
"It's so scary. For ordinary players, it's difficult to stop after running twenty meters at full speed, but Kaka can make two consecutive changes of direction after a perfect emergency stop! Hey, I don't know what the background of this scene is. How will Xiao Mo feel at this time?"
"Indeed, being single-pointed by an opponent in such a highly anticipated competition is too cruel for a player, especially a fourteen-year-old player, but this is not necessarily all for him. It’s a bad thing.”
"Oh? What do you say?"
“He had two goals and two assists in the previous four games, which is very impressive, but to be honest, whether it is Finland, South Korea or Dragon Country, under the strong firepower of Argentina, he has not received the top test. So, maybe the appearance of Kaka will make him understand more about his problem."
"You are right. Because he is too young, it is difficult for Xiao Mo's physical fitness to compete with these boys, but equally, his biggest advantage is his age, and he still has time to grow! Likewise, not only him, I hope The players of the Argentina team don’t need to be disappointed. The game has only started for 30 minutes, and we still have time to catch up with the score! Come on! Argentina! We haven’t lost yet!”
