Football: The strongest post-zero generation

The heavy football hit the post on the left side of the goal and bounced back. Thiago Silva chose his position well and reacted quickly, clearing the ball out of the baseline with one kick. Immediately, there was a wave of frightening exclamations above the Kazan Arena: "wowowoowoooooooo——"

The on-site director's close-up shot quickly showed Li Qing. What was surprising was that Li Qing didn't feel any regret, and there was no obvious fluctuation in his expression. It seemed that it had nothing to do with the direct free kick that was just a hair away.

In fact?

Li Qing was very depressed, but he just didn't want to be seen.

I couldn't help but complain in my heart: "Confidence is a good thing, but overconfidence is arrogance. See... You don't have to rely on strength to have skills. Hit the goalpost, right? Hum!"

The Brazilian fans in the audience burst into exclamations, and the English fans held their heads in their hands, making loud exclamations like a mountain roar and a tsunami, venting their frustration at not being able to extend the score to three goals.

If Li Qing's free kick just now could go five centimeters to the right, this ball... must have!

Horse riding!

What a pity!

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray sighed: "Hey~ It's just a tiny bit! Lee is only five centimeters away from surpassing the world champion Pele and catching up with Juste Fontaine!"

"If we can lead by three goals, Brazil can surrender early."

laughed guest commentator Martin Taylor.

The Brazilian football king Pele, who was sitting in the VIP seat, took a deep breath, and then exhaled a long breath. At that moment, he felt like he was about to choke.

Brazilian coach Tite turned his back and secretly raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. If Li Qing's direct free kick scored directly, then... the game would have ended early.

If you are three goals behind, even if you are lucky enough to recover two goals, there is still a high possibility of conceding goals during this period.

The Brazilian players on the court had almost the same reaction as Tite. Fernandinho was speechless after the foul. His foul was to make up for Paulinho's lack of frontal defense. Logically speaking, the set kick close to 40 meters was It was difficult to bring a direct threat. As a result, Li Qing turned decay into magic and almost extended the score to three goals.

As a defensive midfielder, Fernandinho was directly responsible for the two goals conceded by the team. Fortunately, he did not concede the third one...

The English players were not as open-minded as Li Qing, and they all looked in disbelief.

Arnold took a corner kick. Since Li Qing's first goal came from a challenge in the penalty area, this time he was the focus of the defensive players in the Brazilian penalty area. He was surrounded by people and couldn't even take off. The football was finally selected well. Brazilian captain Miranda pushed out of the penalty area.

Coutinho, who was guarding outside the penalty area, made a big-footed clearance. Ashley Young, who was protecting the ball, got the ball. Neymar, Firmino and Willian pounced out in unison. Ashley Young did not dare to take the ball. Direct long pass into the penalty area.

Harry Kane stopped the football towards the goal with his chest. The assistant referee raised the side flag to indicate that Harry Kane was offside. However, the referee Marzic did not blow the whistle and waited until Harry Kane sent the football into the goal. Listen to the video referee's feedback.

In order to avoid major mistakes, some caution should be exercised in this situation.

It would be more controversial if Harry Kane successfully countered offside, and the offside goal could be called back. After VAR intervention, it was finally ruled that Harry Kane was offside and the goal was invalid.

Tite breathed a sigh of relief again. It would be troublesome if Harry Kane was offside.

So what about the Brazilian players on the field?

After Li Qing almost scored with a free kick, they were as frightened as if they were afraid of being scored again in the second half.

…

Brazil has experienced two consecutive dangerous situations and is cautious in attacking. Neymar and Willian are Brazil's two main offensive ends. Coutinho has a good offensive organization, but the key passing and control skills are not good. The club cannot create for his teammates like Messi. Absolute chance, playing as a second forward and lacking impact, so he can only make a world-shattering wave by getting rid of the ball.

However, fellow Liverpool teammates know Coutinho's technical characteristics, so it is difficult to use them. Tite is wondering whether to remove Coutinho and replace him with Augusto.

This idea did not last long before Tite self-denied it. Although Coutinho is not qualified for the attacking midfielder position, his long-range shooting and passing are the strongest at the team level. Augusto has the ability, but only in close range. In the two seasons of the Chinese Super League, I have played too much with the Imperial City team, and I have been forced to participate in too few high-level competitions. It is difficult to play a role in such crucial competitions.

The on-site director gave close-up shots of Brazil's star Neymar many times. The intention was very clear, hoping that Brazil's No. 10 could contribute goals and help Brazil score goals and maintain the hope of advancing to the semi-finals.

Unfortunately, England's defense did a good job and did not leave any space for Neymar to exploit.

Of course, the biggest reason is that Brazilian players are afraid that Li Qing can counterattack quickly, which prevents Neymar from receiving effective support.

In the 57th minute, Brazil made two consecutive adjustments. Casemiro replaced Fernandinho, who was carrying a yellow card, and Jesus replaced Willian, whose performance could not match the club's performance. The formation subsequently changed from 433 to 433. 442, to be precise, 4231. Jesus is at the front, Firmino plays as the second forward, Neymar and Coutinho play as a wing midfielder, and Paulinho and Casemiro guard the center. , the guard position remains unchanged.

Jesus' entry into the penalty area put a lot of pressure on England. As time went by, the defensive pressure on Henderson and Dier also increased.

Firmino will definitely be able to handle it with ease. With the powerful Jesus coming on the field, Firmino's position becomes very flexible, just like playing at Liverpool, and he can share the burden of Neymar and Coutini. Austrian organizational pressure.

Neymar can finally show off his talent as he pleases in these few minutes, adding momentum to the frenetic game atmosphere.

Brazil's offensive became more and more powerful with Neymar's performance, forcing England goalkeeper Pickford to make consecutive key saves.

"aoaoaooaoooooooooo——"

The Samba fans in the audience let out a loud roar like a tsunami, venting the emotional explosion caused by the offensive tide.

China 5 commentator He Wei said loudly: "Tite should have been replaced by a real center long ago. Firmino played in Liverpool as a pseudo center who mainly cooperated with his teammates. Now that he is alive, Coutinho and Neymar Marr is also alive. It can be said that one move affects the whole body. Now it depends on Southgate's adjustment. If there is no way to reverse the situation, Brazil is likely to reduce the score..."

Before he finished speaking, Coutinho received Firmino's back pass and dodged Dell's defense. He shot furiously, passing and shooting in one go. The football he kicked was like a cannonball. Goalkeeper Pickford His body stretched to the extreme without even touching the football, and there was more despair in his eyes.

"Bang~"

However, at this moment, a crisp muffled sound instantly echoed throughout the entire venue.

"Coutinho's cloud-piercing arrow did not break through the door of England! He returned a goal post!"

He Wei, the commentator of China Channel 5, shouted: "I really agree with what I said. Sooner or later, you will have to pay back if you come out to hang out!"
