As the game entered the second half, Chen Mo could clearly feel the fans becoming more excited as soon as he stepped on the turf.
The Argentinian side was excited and excited, while the Brazilian fans were solemn and expectant.
As soon as Kaka, Ronaldinho and the others from Brazil came on the field, a huge cheering sound came from the stands.
It's clear that the Brazilians haven't given up yet.
It’s not just the fans who haven’t given up.
At the beginning of the game, as soon as Crespo passed the ball to his feet, Kaka rushed in front of him, with no expression on his face, but his eyes were extremely fanatical.
Seeing this, Chen Mo didn't hesitate and immediately passed the ball back to Ma. At the same time, he ran and called on his teammates to spread the formation, but soon, he frowned.
"What happened at halftime in this demoralizing Brazil?"
Under Chen Mo's gaze, Kaka, who had just finished pressing him, immediately pounced on Brother Ma after the pressing failed.
Kaká was originally facing Pony Ma, so there was no problem in keeping track of him. However, Kaká’s running speed in this pressing was obviously much faster than in the first half, almost running at full speed!
Run at full speed!
It sounds normal, but in fact it is difficult to steal the ball in this situation, and it consumes a lot of physical energy, so most players usually only press symbolically and will not rush too fast.
Especially an offensive player like Kaká.
You must know that this is already the final of the America's Cup. In the past half month, they played three group matches and two knockout games. Counting this one, they have played six games in fifteen days.
On average, he plays less than one game in three days, which puts great physical pressure on him. Therefore, normally offensive players will conserve their physical energy to avoid the embarrassing situation in the second half of the game where they get opportunities but do not have the physical energy to sprint.
However, now Kaka is sprinting at full speed without sparing any effort!
Not just Kaka!
Under the gaze of Chen Mo and the entire audience, the entire Brazilian team started to move!
Regardless of whether there is a chance to intercept the ball, as long as the ball reaches the area they are responsible for, all Brazilian players will rush to press it immediately!
It's not just about rushing to press, after getting close, the Brazilian players will fight against the Argentine players regardless of whether they have the ball at their feet!
It's like a knife chipping away at the Argentine players' physical fitness!
The players are working so hard, and the Brazilian fans in the stands can naturally feel it.
As time goes by, the Brazilian fans cheer louder and louder!
The sky is boiling!
And once again Kaká used a sliding tackle to intercept Argentina's pass, but in the end Adriano hit the post with a long shot from the top of the arc.
Under the surprised and curious eyes of all the fans, Bailey stood up from his seat.
Bailey, who is sixty-seven years old this year, is completely out of shape, and you can feel the flabby muscles on his body even when he is wearing clothes.
But under the ecstatic eyes of countless reporters and media and the expectant eyes of Brazilian fans, Pele's wrinkled black face stuck out his tongue and smiled, pulled his sleeves, twisted his body naturally, beat time with his hands, and laughed and breathed at the same time. Roaring some tune.
Stunned.
Everyone was stunned!
At this moment, no one was watching the stadium. Everyone was looking at Pele, who was dancing alone on the high platform.
They couldn't hear the sound clearly or what Pele was singing, but soon, the rhythm factor flowing in the blood of the Brazilians let them know what Pele was dancing.
Gradually, under the shocked gazes of all the Argentinian fans and the fans in front of TV sets around the world, more than 30,000 Brazilians in the entire left stand followed Pele's beat and swayed their bodies while singing passionately. It was like a tsunami rushing towards the entire stadium from the mouths with red faces and thick necks, and from the faces painted yellow and green!
“Here we go!
Ale, Ale, Ale!”
Go, go, go!
Ale, Ale, Ale~
Tonight's the night we're gonna celebrate
The cup of life,
Ale, Ale, Ale~”
Cup of Life, the theme song of the 1998 World Cup.
It was originally an extremely exciting song, but now more than 30,000 people were singing and dancing!
"Oh my God! Mr. Bailey, this is too much"
"Hahaha, Argentina is going to be miserable! I really didn't expect that Mr. Pele would come off the field in person to cheer for his juniors at this time. Oh! I bet that even if there is a row of submachine guns standing in front of the Brazilian team soldiers, they will rush forward without hesitation!"
"The game should be better!"
The ground trembled, reporters and photographers were ecstatic, and flashlights flashed randomly!
More than 30,000 compatriots showed their support on site, and it was Pele who took the lead!
How could this not drive them crazy? !
and!
This is the theme song of the 1998 World Cup!
That year, Brazil was defeated by France 3-0 in the World Cup final!
Every Brazilian player understands Pele's intention in choosing this song!
In this deafening song, the Brazilian players, who felt the ground shaking slightly, were all excited and blushed, and their enthusiasm increased again!
Running all over the place!
Under the watchful eyes of fans from all over the world, the Brazilian players were running all over the field as if they had been given a shot of blood!
And not only on the defensive end, they also obviously started to play more relaxed and more aggressive on the offensive end!
The most obvious performance is Ronaldinho!
Just talking about one-on-one blasting ability, he is actually better than Chen Mo and Messi at this stage. However, due to tactical reasons in the first half, he did not get many one-on-one opportunities.
But it’s different now!
As long as he gets the ball, Maicon will definitely put him on the wing to help him take away the full-back Burdisso. At the same time, Kaká will also move closer to this side to help contain Chen Mo, who is assisting in defense!
This makes it impossible for Chen Mo to stick to Ronaldinho to defend like before!
The tactical tilt gets space, and at the same time, Pele and fellow Brazilians add BUFF in the stands!
With the superposition of countless BUFFs, Ronaldinho's status is getting higher and higher!
Extremely aggressive!
Ronaldinho is almost always thinking of ways to cause damage!
Killing is not just about killing people.
Taking the ball and only thinking about passing others is stupid behavior, and no one wants to play wild football.
The killing here refers to all behaviors that can create threats such as passing people, sending key passes, and cutting without the ball!
If there is a chance, he will go one-on-one; if there is no chance, he will attract the defense and send threatening balls to his teammates; if there is no chance, he will run without the ball!
Gradually, Ronaldinho's running became more and more frequent, and the area covered by his running became larger and larger!
I have strong personal abilities and am very positive!
For a while, under the leadership of Ronaldinho, the Brazilian team really suppressed Argentina completely.
"This damn shaman is bloodthirsty!"
"But Gilberto actually climbed so far forward?"
"He's not afraid that I'll just take the ball from behind?"
When he touched the ball again, he was pinched by Kaká and right back midfielder Giroberto who were retreating from the front midfielder position. You could even hear the violent breathing of the two people one after the other.
It's a little strange that Giroberto dared to go so high, but at this time, Chen Mo, who had no room to handle the ball, had no choice but to pass the ball to Messi on the other side.
As soon as the ball was passed, Kaka was already flying towards Messi!
"It's not easy to break out."
Taking a look at the rolling ball, Messi ignored the running Kaka and the defensive midfielder Ederson in front of him, but turned his attention to the Brazilian team's back line behind Ederson.
At this sight, Messi frowned.
The Brazilian team's arrangement for Chen Mo was that Giroberto would defend and Kaka would help defend, while Messi's arrangement for Chen Mo was that Ederson would defend, and at the same time, the left center back Naldo would be on top!
Naldo is very close to Ederson. Even if Messi can get past Ederson, there is a very high possibility that Naldo will directly intercept the ball. And if he does not choose to break through, Kaka is rushing towards him again. On the way, he will soon fall into a situation where he is double-teamed by two people.
Messi can also control the ball when the two double-team him, but why is it that Chen Mo, who is also very good at protecting the ball, rarely protects the ball in a one-on-one situation without an obvious opportunity?
Because of the location.
Messi is now not a right winger but a midfielder.
The consequences of losing the ball in the midfield are much more serious than the consequences of losing the ball in the winger!
After confirming that there was no chance to break through, Messi did not hesitate. Before Kaka arrived, he directly distributed the ball to the left back Zanetti on the other side of the court with a big kick.
At this time, most of the Brazilian team's players are on the right side. Messi's big-foot transfer is very beautiful. Zanetti has enough space to stop the ball, but the Brazilian team is too aggressive in this game.
As soon as Zanetti stopped the ball, Brazilian right winger Robinho rushed over.
Brazilian center Adriano also got stuck next to Ayala, cutting off Zanetti's connection with the central defender.
At the same time, Kaka and Gilberto also blocked the connection between Zanetti and left midfielder Chen Mo.
Most of the passing routes were blocked, leaving Zanetti with only two routes for the ball!
The first one is a pass back to the goalkeeper. After all, center Adriano is on the back line and the goalkeeper has room to take the ball.
"When the ball is passed back to Abangdan Sheri, his ball choice is probably to move forward, and there may be a risk of the ball being intercepted!"
Brazil presses in the high post, and even if the goalkeeper has space to get the ball, it is difficult to find a suitable short passing point in the backcourt.
The end result is either the ball being intercepted or the ball being kicked forward.
Upon thinking of this, Zanetti, who has a conservative personality, immediately glanced towards the frontcourt.
The second passing route is to pass the ball directly to center Crespo, who has retreated to the Brazilian team's midfielder position to receive the ball!
Normally, there is midfielder Giroberto in that area, but Giroberto went up to defend Chen Mo, and that area was empty.
Crespo's back-up ability is not top-notch, but it is not bad. As long as Crespo can control the ball in the frontcourt, Argentina can even take this opportunity to directly attack.
And even if there is no way to attack, it is more reliable than passing the ball back to the goalkeeper!
With this in mind, Zanetti no longer hesitated and passed the ball forward with a big kick to Crespo, who was retreating to receive the ball!
"Finally took the bait!"
Seeing the ball streaking across the sky, Ronaldinho, who was on the left wing, had a flash of light in his eyes. Without saying a word, he immediately retreated towards the center circle and towards the area where Messi was!
Ronaldinho is retreating!
But the moment Zanetti sent the pass, the entire Brazilian team was on top!
The two defensive midfielders Ederson and Giroberto press in the middle!
The two full-backs Alves and Maicon press on from the wing!
Two central defenders.
Central defender Juan, who is 1.82 meters tall and is known for his explosive power and strong forward attacking ability, directly goes forward to join the attack.
But the other one, central defender Naldo, who was 1.98 meters tall and famous for his tough playing style, rushed towards Crespo who was about to catch the ball!
"not good!"
Observing the movements of the Brazilian team, Chen Mo's eyes widened instantly!
Zanetti's pass was like throwing a bread crab into a carp pond, and the entire Brazilian team was completely moved!
This kind of group reaction is undoubtedly a tactic that Brazil has planned in advance!
Yes!
Chen Mo was right!
This is indeed a trap made by the Brazilian team to target Zanetti's conservative character!
Zanetti does have two passing routes after receiving the ball, and it seems that passing forward to Crespo is a safer choice, but!
This is more reliable. It is based on Crespo's ability to control the ball after his retracement, and it is based on the two major premises that the Brazilian team did not react to Crespo's sudden retracement!
Argentina is now in a 442 diamond position, with Crespo and Di Maria as the two centers, and Di Maria more often drops back to help defend Ronaldinho!
Once Crespo retreats again, Argentina will have no players on the front line!
Not only Zanetti, but also Giroberto's plan to go up and stick to Chen Mo!
Gilberto went up to the top, and Chen Mo naturally retreated a little in order to get the ball better.
And this also takes into account Chen Mo’s character!
Because Girobetto is on top, there will be space behind him. With Chen Mo's extremely aggressive style of play, he will definitely think about how to exploit that space.
Chen Mo's overall view is true, but he is still human.
When his attention is focused more on one point, his grasp of the overall situation will inevitably decline to a certain extent!
No matter how much it falls!
As long as it declines, Brazil's tactical success probability will increase!
So many calculations!
The purpose is very simple, to divert Chen Mo's attention and make Chen Mo retreat at the same time!
There is no doubt that the Brazilian team's carefully designed tactics worked!
Argentina currently has no players on the front line, and Chen Mo, who has the strongest impact, is also positioned relatively deep.
In this case, Brazil's entire defense line completely lost pressure!
They can press forward unscrupulously!
The three defenders rush to Argentina's defense line together. In this case, Ronaldinho can get a huge gap!
But there is a major prerequisite for completing this tactic, and that is that Crespo cannot control the ball!
Once Crespo controls the ball and acts as a fulcrum in the frontcourt, allowing Chen Mo to cut without the ball, Brazil will explode with the current overwhelming situation!
Double-edged sword!
"I have to steal this ball!"
Running wildly, watching the ball fly towards Crespo, the 1.98-meter-tall central defender Nardo gritted his teeth and rushed towards Crespo!
Rushing to a place two meters away from Crespo, Naldo just jumped with a big stride!
He was already twelve centimeters taller than Crespo, but now he was jumping again!
The shadow directly covered Crespo who was jumping on the spot!
Mount Tai is overwhelming!
Amidst the exclamations of the fans in the audience, Naldo used his position advantage of two heads higher than Crespo to top the falling ball!
Touch the ball!
Swing your head to the left!
The ball flew directly to Ronaldinho, who was retreating to meet the ball!
And Ronaldinho's location is exactly where Messi is!
"Ronaldinho can't resist Messi! He's going to get the ball!"
"This is a battle between master and disciple!!! Can Messi resist Ronaldinho?!"
