Chapter 1172 Finding Weaknesses
With the end of the quarter-finals of the fourth 2014 World Cup in Brazil between the Netherlands and Costa Rica, all four teams that advanced to the semi-finals were released. The teams in the two semi-finals were China VS Brazil and Argentina VS Netherlands.
As expected, the four teams that advanced to the semi-finals are all strong teams, especially the semi-final between China and Brazil, which has attracted much attention.
Of course, it’s not that the semi-final between Argentina and the Netherlands is not important. It’s just that the Chinese team and the Brazilian team, which entered the semi-final for the first time, are more critical. Moreover, the Chinese team defeated Brazil on Brazilian soil in the Confederations Cup a year ago. The media who pay attention to the World Cup want to see whether this game will be different from last year’s game.
The Brazil team is the team that has won the most championships in the history of the World Cup and has won five championships. The Chinese team broke through the results of the last World Cup in South Africa and entered the semi-finals for the first time. It is the best time to win the championship.
Ai Luo, Gao Lin, Hao Junmin, Wu Xi, Feng Xiaoting and others are basically at the peak of their careers. In addition, they are now recognized by the media as the most champion-looking team, but the experience in the semi-finals of the World Cup is equal to zero, and they have picked up some points.
As a result, the Brazil team without Neymar and Thiago Silva in the semi-finals with the Chinese team is very likely to win in half...
Experience is invisible, but it is very important to football games. Brazil coach Scolari led the Brazil team to win the World Cup 12 years ago. He has a lot of experience and experience, which the current Chinese team does not have.
Fortunately, the Chinese team has a top star like Ai Luo, who can often rely on his super personal ability to change the situation of the game and make a final decision.
Since the beginning of this World Cup, Ai Luo has become the most dazzling star, bar none.
During this period, the Chinese media was the most active group.
And the fans of the Chinese team are not to be outdone. On the land of Brazil, they occupy one street after another very strongly.
As the Chinese team entered the semi-finals, more and more fans chose to go to Brazil to watch the game live. Therefore, it is normal for the semi-final tickets of the Chinese team and the Brazilian team to be fired at sky-high prices, but there are still prices but no market.
They all know that the significance of this game is very great, because it is just this once in a lifetime to follow the Chinese team to enter the semi-finals of the World Cup, so even if they spend all their money, they want to grab a ticket for a game.
It's just that there are only so many tickets, and there are too many fans who need tickets...
At this time, the advantages of fans who join the national fan association 'Dragon Team' are reflected, because they can get tickets first.
However, there are many smart fans, they did not set their sights on the priceless semi-finals, but on the World Cup finals at the Maracana Stadium.
However, there are also some more conservative and pessimistic fans who buy tickets for the three or four games...
It's just that these fans are only a minority, and more die-hard fans choose tickets for the finals.
※※※
After the last quarter-final match between the Netherlands and Costa Rica, the four teams that reached the semi-finals had three days of rest.
It may be a good rest day for the players, but not for the coaches of the four teams. They need to make targeted technical and tactical play for the next game, especially the Brazilian coach Scolari.
The absence of captain Thiago Silva and Neymar has dropped the overall strength of the Brazilian team by a whole notch. David Luiz is brave but not always nervous, so he has to be matched with a stable partner. For this, he can only choose Dante who plays for Bayern Munich.
It's just that this choice is not the best, because Dante's turning speed is too slow. If the midfielder is broken, facing Ai Luo one-on-one will definitely cause the possibility of losing the ball.
In addition, Ai Luo's mobility is very large, and it is difficult to limit death. Without the captain Thiago Silva to lead the entire defense line, if he is a little careless, he will very likely be beaten into a sieve.
However, what Scolari did not expect was the result that happened in his mind, but it really happened in the next game...
Of course, this is a later story, let's not mention it for the time being.
Although Brazil lacked Thiago Silva and Neymar in the next semi-finals, Guardiola still didn't mean to take it lightly, and put his mind on adjusting the lineup wholeheartedly.
Because the Chinese team will also miss two key players in the semifinals with Brazil, but the impact is not as great as Brazil.
In addition, when the game reached the semi-finals, no one dared to take it lightly, otherwise all previous efforts would be wasted.
There have been countless unpredictable games in world football. Here, Guardiola has a deep understanding.
At the same time, Dutch coach Van Gaal and Argentine coach Savilla are also preparing for the next semi-final. Compared with the clear situation of China and Brazil, this semi-final seems to be a bit evenly matched.
※※※
After a short day of rest, the last four teams all chose recovery training, especially the Dutch team, which played 1 minutes against Costa Rica in the quarter-finals. Van Gaal even canceled the technical and tactical training and changed them all to recovery training.
Sufficient physical fitness is the only guarantee for the smooth progress of the game.
The opponent of the Chinese team in the semi-finals is the Brazilian team, so it is destined that their preparations will not go smoothly.
Football has nothing to do with life and death, but it is more important than life and death. This sentence was vividly reflected before the semi-finals. The Brazilian team was determined to lose Neymar and Thiago Silva in the semi-finals. The strength was greatly reduced. Therefore, Brazilian fans found another way to try to harass the Chinese team to prepare for the game and increase the weight of the national team's victory.
It's just that Guardiola had already prepared on the eve of preparations. Anyway, the Chinese team's preparations are all based on restorative training, and the style of play has long been formed, and there are not many places that need to be adjusted.
More importantly, Captain Ai Luo is in a hot state, which already means winning most of the game.
The day before the game, Scolari still didn't think of a targeted tactic, and finally gritted his teeth and chose to open a gap on the side.
He believes that the absence of Wu Xi will definitely cause big problems for the Chinese team in the midfield, and the absence of Zhang Linpeng will greatly reduce the right-sided attack of the Chinese team. If the offensive on the side is strengthened, the Chinese team will lose sight of the other. As long as they seize one or two opportunities at that time, it will no longer be impossible to win the game.
Thinking of this, Scolari decided to replace William, who played for Chelsea, with Bernard, who has a stronger technical offensive ability at his feet, in the formation, let him open the gap on the wing, and create enough opportunities to score!
