Ronaldo took a well-positioned direct free kick directly to Zhuoyang's head, announcing the end of Colombia's passionate opening attack.銇

Nowadays, football all over the world is Europeanizing, and South America is no exception. On this continent, the team that can maintain the most traditional classical skills is not Brazil and Argentina, but Colombia.

However, the narcissism of being the "most South American" cannot conceal the reality that the competition has become increasingly weak in recent years. That's why the Colombian Football Association made the decision to invite the famous Portuguese coach Queiroz to speed up the team this year.

Strong South American teams, including self-proclaimed strong teams, basically would not hire European coaches in the past. This involves the self-esteem of the two major football schools. Queiroz is the first European coach in the history of the Colombian national team.

Traditional South American football is not all the same style. Brazilian samba and Argentine tango are different, but they once had an iconic position - the classical attacking midfielder.

Now Brazil and Argentina have long since lost this stuff, and Colombia still has Ronaldo.

James Rodriguez has been playing high and low in Europe over the years. The fundamental reason is that his football style is more of a classical attacking midfielder.

In fact, when he first arrived in Europe, Ronaldo was not as classical as he is now, and his style was quite modern and free. However, I don't know why, the more he played in these years, the more he returned to ancient times.銇

】

It's not that you can't play as a classical attacking midfielder. The key is to have a team that is willing to use you as its absolute core.

But Riquelme had Huang Qian and Boca who regarded him as a treasure, but James couldn't get Real Madrid and Bayern to accommodate him.

This summer, his two-year loan at Bayern expires. In two seasons, Ronaldo pleased Munich fans, but failed to convince Bayern management. Faced with a very "one-renmin" buyout price of 42 million, Bayern chose to refuse.

Ronaldo, who got the news in advance, was the first to announce that he wanted to return to Real Madrid.

With Ronaldo's foot skills and football awareness, he is still a good player in the Colombian national team. But after Queiroz took office, there was still a trident, but Colombia no longer played with the trident. Ronaldo could only work hard as the second center or even the winger.

But his ideal is always to be a good halberd handle, so he always involuntarily retracts to the unnecessary midfielder position. In this way, Colombia's trident, which was supposed to be sharpened, was turned into a piece of firewood by the blind halberd.

Although the defense line of the Chinese team's three central defenders is young, it is not easy to deal with such a firewood.銇

In particular, the three central defenders have almost no gaps in their ribs for opponents to make fuss about. Colombia's linear passing and running in the frontcourt is basically banging their heads against the wall.

For the first time, he dribbled the ball to the middle, circled gracefully to avoid Zhang Xian's counterattack, and then made a very imaginative pass with the instep of his outside foot. The ball ran diagonally towards Cuadrado, who was coming down from the side.

The football was intercepted by Peng Xuebing in the middle of the road without any imagination. He simply stretched his legs.

There is no diagonal pass line at all. If there is one, it only exists in Ronaldo's self-righteous imagination.

Before the game, the South American public opinion ridiculed and ridiculed the young players of the Chinese team, which did not make the young Chunlei lost, but made Ronaldo and his companions underestimate their enemies.

Such a sloppy pass should not have appeared at his feet.

Ice Cream intercepted the ball and made a few adjustments, and Pang Tiezhu was already free.銇

Including full-back Medina and wing Cuadrado, Colombia's entire right half has arrogantly pressed to the Chinese team's penalty area line. As a result, they were collectively beaten back by Tie Zhu alone.

Tiezhu charged into the frontcourt alone with the ball. The national football team's midfielder could not follow up, but captain Zhuo Yang and Li Zimo had already formed a support layer in the middle and far end.

If Tiezhu passes the ball, I dare not say that the Chinese team will kill, but Zhuo Yang and Zimo face 2v2 like Mina and Sanchez, which is basically a score question.

2 Oss explained at this moment why Queiroz chose to use him as a single defensive midfielder, because he was playing with his brain, not his muscles.

Barrios was supposed to be Zhuoyang's shadow, but he was quickly thrown away in the counterattack just now. After that, he did not forcefully follow. Although it would be a big risk to throw Zhuoyang to the back line, Barrios cleverly leaned towards the onrushing Pang Tiezhu.

The moment Tiezhu was about to pass the ball after a thousand-mile dash, Barrios made a decisive shovel from the side and rear, and even dribbled the ball to the ground.

The method and effect were similar to the way Liu Langdong knocked down Falcao a few minutes ago, but the danger faced by Colombia at this time was much higher than that of the Chinese team just now.銇

Referee Sampaio's whistle sounded.

Colombia was awarded a foul, but Barrios was not given a yellow card.

With two penalties in just a few minutes, it was obvious that the referee made a difference and did not hide it very much.

Zhuo Yang was very dissatisfied: "Hey, referee, yellow card, no yellow card?"

Sampaio's smile was springy, but his expression clearly said, 'I know you are dissatisfied, but I have the final say and you have to hold it in'. He smiled and backed away without explaining to Zhuo Yang at all.

In fact, since the first game, the national team has felt differential treatment from all parties in the field, including the referees. Although it is not blatant, there are indeed some "foreigners in a foreign land" who are not welcome.

There was no way. Last summer, the Brazilian Football Association regretted not long after inviting the Chinese team out of anger. But at that time, the national team responded immediately, making it impossible for the Brazilian Football Association to lick back the water thrown out.銇

In the following season, Zhuo Yang went on a killing spree that rippled the world, and even made people in South America tremble with fear.

Inviting the Chinese team and Zhuo Yang is for a feast, not for you to flip the table.

Therefore, some looming differences in treatment are inevitable. The purpose is to prevent the Chinese team and Zhuo Yang from going too far, which is almost enough.

He protested to the referee to no avail, and Zhuo Yang couldn't do anything. He couldn't bite others.

The location of the free kick is not as ideal as Ronaldo's just now, it is remote and far away. But under Zhuo Yang's intimidation, Colombia still cautiously discharged six human beings.

After a two-step run-up, Zhuoyang made a super arc, high and floating. At first glance, it looked like a cross. After all, the Chinese team on both offense and defense in the penalty area had a numerical advantage, so it was reasonable for the cross to be passed.

Everyone was deceived, including goalkeeper Ospina. Following the initial trajectory of the football, his footsteps quickly moved towards the far post.銇

However, the football suddenly turned in the middle, as if it was slapped by an invisible big hand in the air, twisted its head and went straight to the near corner.

Fortunately, the live broadcast lens gives a panoramic view. If you follow the close-up, you may not be able to keep up.

Everything seemed perfect, Ospina was already a fool, but his luck was not good.

The football hit the lintel and hit the goal line, then bounced high outwards.

The two groups of men and horses who reacted immediately screamed and rushed towards the landing point.

Among the rebels, Zhang Xian had to be clever. He bypassed the people in front of him and flipped on his back, leaned his head sideways, shook his head and drove the football into the goal.

This was his first goal in this America's Cup. Zhang Xian, who was overjoyed, ignored his teammates who were still lying on the ground, laughed wildly and was about to run away to celebrate.銇

‘Beep—’ the whistle sounded, and Sampaio made a gesture to invalidate the goal.

Zhang Xian: You are numb...

Sampaio's reason was that Peng Mingzhi committed a foul during the fight with Mina, and it was precisely because Mina fell to the ground that Zhang Xian had space to header.

In fact, both Peng Xuebing and Mina had moves on their hands, and both of them fell to the ground. This penalty is still a matter of free conscience. It seems that you can find reasons from whichever angle you interpret it and how you decide the penalty.

But in most cases, this goal is valid, and football has its unspoken rules.

This time Zhuoyang didn't try to argue, he smiled and nodded to Sampaio the Smiling Tiger.

——Haha, just wait for me.銇
