Chapter 062 The first battle between Brazil International and two old friends
This is the first official match against Internacional. The Portuguese’s understanding of each other is indeed limited, but in turn, the opponent, Internacional, also does not know much about the Portuguese. Although they have watched targeted videos,
I have learned a lot, but it is never as real as the understanding gained from a real battle.
"As one of the top teams in the Brazilian League all year round, their tactics are more traditional Brazilian style. Our tactics remain the same. While we do our best, we must also be careful about the opponent's forward penetration, especially
With the forward combination of Lisandro and Paulista, it is also not easy to break the goal guarded by Dida, the Brazilian national goalkeeper. We need to further improve the quality of our offense.
Of course, our current strength is also not bad. Even if we fight against each other, we will not be at a disadvantage, and this is still at home. I believe that as long as everyone can perform normally, we are still very sure to win this game.
"Hiddink gave final targeted instructions before the game.
This first round of the Copa Libertadores knockout match, which was played at home, naturally required follow-up reports by reporters from all media. Now these are no longer uncommon. Not only CCAV, but many domestic local stations have also broadcast it.
It has become a routine.
Although the Brazilian League and Copa Libertadores are not as influential as the five major leagues and the Champions League, they are still rare in comparison. With the Portuguese officially having the identity of a Brazilian team at the end of last year, their attention has also increased.
It has become even more obvious, just like when they paid attention to the NBA Houston Rockets with Yao Ming as the captain.
As several players of C nationality and the only Chinese-American (Li Zhao, a fact he has to admit now) in the Portuguese team perform better and better, their reputation gradually spreads, naturally attracting countless fans, and also makes people
Tickets for their home games have become more and more popular. While ticket prices have increased significantly, they have become even more difficult to obtain.
And because Calder Stadium is close to the Portuguese’s new base, real estate in this area is also a new hotspot after the harbor area. Originally, many Chinese and overseas Chinese moved here in the old Chinatown, making the two areas connected.
There is a trend of becoming a new Chinese settlement area, and it is only a matter of time before it exceeds the size of the old Chinatown.
The game started at 11 o'clock that night on May 6. The Portuguese still lined up their familiar lineup, while Internacional Brazil lined up a 442 formation.
"I believe that many viewers of the Portuguese team are already familiar with this team. Not only will they compete in the upcoming Brazilian League this year, but they will also be a novice in the previously started Copa Libertadores group stage.
He was able to successfully break out of the competition with first place results.
To be honest, this kind of result is something many of us have not expected before. Of course, this is also because Group A itself does not have very strong opponents. Although we don’t know how far they can go, we also hope that they can continue to create miracles.
, maybe they can become a dark horse in this Copa Libertadores." The speaker was Duan Xuan, the host of CCAV Radio.
"Today the Portuguese still use the 4-3-3 formation, and now this seems to have become their usual style of play.
The Brazilian Internacional that faced them was also a traditional Brazilian team. The formation was 442. The starting lineup was goalkeeper: Dida; defenders: Gilberto Morais, Endio, 1 Ellando, Valdivia.
; Midfielder: Andres D'Alessandro, Williams, Alex Meshny, Charles Arangis; Frontcourt: Lisandro, Paulista.
Speaking of the origin of Internacional, it is also very interesting. It was first founded by three young people living in Sao Paulo in the early 20th century. When they came to Porto Alegre, they wanted to play football there.
Football. However, there was no local club to accept them because they were just new immigrants, so they established a new club of their own. On April 4, 1909, a Monday night, in the cellar of a house,
These three young people joined 40 young people to establish this Brazilian international company.
After the start of the game, the Portuguese and Internazionale started fighting each other. Now five minutes have passed. The two sides seem to be testing each other, and the rhythm is not too intense..." Zhen Cheng beside him introduced the two.
After the team's formation, he talked about a piece of history of his opponent Internacional.
This time it was only the two of them who were cooperating in this column. The special guest Han Qiaosheng from last time did not come. As they explained one sentence after another, the game entered the tenth tenth minute. At this moment, people on the field
The atmosphere suddenly became lively, but then fell silent. It turned out that the Portuguese, as the home team, launched a threatening attack and almost scored.
This attack was planned and launched by Ronaldinho. He observed the loopholes in the opponent's defense. Although it was only a moment, he was caught. The ball accurately passed through the gap between the two players of the opponent and then reached Leonard on the right.
At his feet, the latter broke forward and passed in. Wang Ziyi crossed with a header. Li Zhao followed up and hit the goal with his left foot. The ball went straight to the upper right side of the goal, but Dida struggled to hold it out at the critical moment.
The crossbar.
Although there was no goal, it was undoubtedly a good goal, which also included a series of exquisite cooperation among the Portuguese players. If it were not for the outstanding performance of the Brazilian goalkeeper, this goal would have basically been scored.
After taking another corner kick, Dida judged the landing point in advance and plucked the ball off Wang Zi's prosthetic head.
Although he has reached the age of retirement, Dida is still worthy of the title of Brazil's goalkeeper. If he had guarded the city goal in the 2014 World Cup, maybe he would not have scored so many goals in that game, but this is only if,
There are not so many what-ifs in reality. Moreover, his condition today was extremely brave. Facing such a tough opponent is undoubtedly a test for the Portuguese.
Internacional's offensive was equally fierce. Lisandro and Paulista in turn organized a powerful attack. Fortunately, the Portuguese defense made no mistakes and did not give the opponent a chance. Especially now as a
Cayo, who has grown rapidly, has taken a lot of pressure off the goalkeeper with his repeated blocks and interceptions, and has become a solid firewall in the defense.
In comparison, the two teams have similar forward strengths. In the defense, Internazionale is stronger, but in the midfield, the Portuguese has the advantage, so in summary, the two teams are still evenly matched. For a while, the two teams are evenly matched.
They actually fell into a situation of fierce fighting with each other. It depends on who makes a mistake first or has better luck.
The Portuguese took the lead first. In the 26th minute of the game, they got a free kick opportunity in the opponent's frontcourt. Ronaldinho, Li Zhao and Leonard stood in front of the ball at the same time. From this point, the team will
Having too many players to take a free kick can be a headache, but at the same time, there will be more choices.
When the referee blew the whistle, Li Zhao was the first to run toward the ball, but he jumped directly over it, followed closely by Leonard. He lightly knocked the ball as he approached it, and the ball rolled to
beside.
Sure enough, the last person to handle the ball was Ronaldinho. He followed closely with a volley, causing the football to draw a strange arc in the air. The ball looked like a running ball.
He headed towards the center of the goal, but suddenly turned in the second half and headed towards the upper left corner of the goal.
Although Dida was prepared, he still moved a little slower after all. He could only watch the ball fly into the net from an inch in front of his fingertips.
1-0, although the Portuguese goal did not come easily, it was very timely. It not only strongly encouraged our own military morale, but also brought the atmosphere of the entire stadium to a climax.
"This goal is like a replica of Ronaldinho's goal that opened Seaman's door in the World Cup. For a moment, I even thought I was at that time again." Zhen Cheng sighed in the CCAV live broadcast room, and
Duan Xuan beside him also nodded in agreement.
Dida on the other side was not too disappointed after losing the ball. Instead, he turned around and looked in the direction of Ronaldinho with complicated eyes, and then he smiled helplessly.
The two of them were comrades in the Brazilian team during the 2006 World Cup, but now they have changed. Before this game, he was still lamenting Ronaldinho's decline, but after playing on the court, he felt the change in his old friend.
At this moment, after Ronaldinho's goal, Dida realized that the former wizard on the court was really back.
However, this also further stimulated his fighting spirit on the other hand, and he couldn't help but say in his mouth: "Old friend, you are back again. But next time, I will never let you succeed!"
And his words also represented a kind of oath, which made him more proactive in the subsequent competition between the two of them.
Perhaps due to some unforeseen arrangement, before the end of the first half, the Portuguese once again got a free kick that was almost the same as before.
Ronaldinho stepped up again. His free kick was similar to the previous one, but this time it went towards the bottom corner of the goal on the other side. But this time Dida was more fully prepared and suffered a loss.
How could he let Ronaldinho succeed again and push the ball out at the last moment?
