Seven Crowns

Chapter 692 Against Brazil

After the national football team qualified, there was a large-scale celebration across the country. The hardest part was the police and security guards who maintained order.

The major media and websites reported on the Chinese team's path to qualifying, and the netizens were also enthusiastic. The comment area under each report was full of heated discussions, even hotter than the 2008 Olympic Games.

The Chinese team's first victory in the World Cup and the joy of defeating Spain made the world's No. 1 sport finally explode on the land of China, and it became a grand event to gather the morale of the people.

Every member of the national team has become a hero, and no one is ashamed to play or watch football anymore.

If there are relatives and friends who happen to play football, they will attract envious eyes from around.

However, amid the celebrations of fans across the country, many people also expressed pessimism about the prospects of the Chinese team.

Because, according to the principle of the 1/8 finals in Group A against the second in Group B, the Chinese team will meet in the 1/8 finals with the host, football kingdom Brazil.

Many people have speculated that the Chinese team's World Cup journey will come to an abrupt end in the 1/8 finals.

Even so, the Chinese team has created quite a miracle, and the fans still celebrated happily.

Moreover, due to the prospect that the Chinese team may stop at the top 16, many people made an impromptu decision to go to Brazil to watch the Chinese team's 1/8 finals live.

Regardless of winning or losing, the Chinese team's first World Cup knockout game is definitely worth watching live. What's more, the opponent is Brazil, the football kingdom.

As a result, the tickets for the quarter-finals of China VS Brazil began to soar at a rocket speed that day, and it is estimated that they will reach a very high price in the end.

In the next two days, the group stage ended one after another. The final list of the top sixteen of this World Cup is Brazil, Mexico, the Netherlands, China, Colombia, Greece, Costa Rica, Uruguay, France, Switzerland, Argentina, Nigeria, Germany, the United States, Belgium, Algeria.

Spain, the defending champion, was eliminated in the group stage. England and Italy in Group D were eliminated by Costa Rica and Uruguay, especially Costa Rica ranked first in the group, which was surprising.

It can be seen that the world's top teams are not guaranteed to win.

Gao Hongbo and Lu Wenbin also used the example of Costa Rica to encourage the team to face Brazil.

In particular, the Chinese team still has Lu Wenbin as a secret weapon. If they take the lead or hit a penalty shootout, the Chinese team can temporarily replace Lu Wenbin to keep the goal.

During the training, everyone has already seen the magic of Lu Wenbin's penalty kick.

Generally speaking, with the shooting skills of the Chinese players, in front of Lu Wenbin, if you perform well, you can score one or two out of ten penalty kicks.

Only a shot with good strength and speed, going straight to the dead corner, can score a goal, and the probability is also not high.

This is an analysis starting from the Chinese team itself, and on the other hand it is an analysis of the Brazilian team.

The Brazilian team looks strong, but it is not.

The 3-1 Croatia in the first game and the 4-1 Cameroon in the third game can only be said to be normal performances, but the 0-0 draw by Mexico in the second game shows the fact that the Brazilian team is weak in attack.

Although it still bears the name of five-star Brazil, the current Brazilian team is not the same as Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Adriano, Roberto Carlos, Cafu, Jr. when they won the championship in 2002. The lineup of superstars such as Neo is far from complete.

Count the current Brazilian team, Neymar, Gustavo, Oscar, Maicon, Marcelo, Silva, Cesar, etc., although they are well-known, they are not the same as the star-studded team in 2002. Compared with the Brazilian team, it is nothing to mention.

With the inspirational reality of Costa Rica in front of them, coupled with the fact that the Brazilian team was tied 0-0 by Mexico, and Lu Wenbin's hole card, the Chinese team players were not intimidated by the Brazilian team.

Inspired by Lu Wenbin's leadership halo, everyone screamed to fight the Brazilian team to the end.

Of course, no one made the kind of brain-dead remarks that some players in 2002 "can easily freeze Neymar".

The Chinese team's trump card is Lu Wenbin's offensive and defensive versatility and backcourt command ability, which rely on the whole.

What Lu Wenbin and Gao Hongbo did was to break the fear of the football kingdom Brazil from the heart of Chinese players.

As long as you have faith, dare to fight, dare to grab, and dare to fight back, the Chinese team is not without a chance to beat Brazil and advance to the quarterfinals.

After all, this Brazilian team definitely does not have the strength to beat Spain 5-1 like the Dutch team.

The Chinese team only lost 2-3 to the Dutch team, and it is very possible to draw or win the Brazilian team.

Let’s not talk about winning. If it’s a tie, when it’s time for a penalty shootout, not to mention Lu Wenbin’s goalkeeping ability, just Lu Wenbin standing in front of the goal is enough to make the Brazilian psychologically confused.

Lu Wenbin and Gao Hongbo privately analyzed that the probability of the Chinese team beating Brazil to advance to the quarterfinals is not small.

At 13:00 on June 28th, the first round of the 2014 World Cup between China and Brazil officially started at the Mineiro Arena in Belo Horizonte.

Last year's Confederations Cup semi-final, the Chinese team lost 1-3 to Brazil in this stadium.

But today's Chinese team is not last year's Chinese team, and Lu Wenbin is not last year's Lu Wenbin.

Lu Wenbin's cooperation with his teammates is more tacit, and the offensive and defensive transitions are more handy. Lu Wenbin also holds the killer's trump card with full goalkeeper skills.

The entire Chinese team has the psychology of revenge, and wants to beat Brazil on the same court and advance to the quarterfinals.

But it's not that easy.

Even without superstars such as Ronaldo and Ronaldinho, they can stand out in the football kingdom and be selected for the national team. The members of this Brazilian team are still very skilled in personal skills, and their cooperation is so smooth and pleasing to the eye.

In the 8th minute of the opening, the Brazilian team used a continuous pass from four players in the frontcourt, plus the last unexpected heel pass from the midfielder Oscar tore open the defense line of the Chinese team, and Neymar made a low shot in the penalty area break down.

1-0, the host Brazil took the lead easily in just 8 minutes.

The Brazilians were singing and laughing on the court and in the stands, while the Chinese players were a little bit hit.

However, no dismay.

After all, both Lu Wenbin and Gao Hongbo told everyone at the pre-match mobilization meeting that conceding goals against Brazil is inevitable, even if the score falls behind.

Therefore, everyone must not lose their fighting spirit, and must work together to equalize the score.

The tactic discussed before the game was to change Lu Wenbin to keep the goal if the score was ahead, and not to tie the score or fall behind. The fear is that without Lu Wenbin's counterattack and directing the defense, the defense line will be penetrated by the Brazilian team.

Even if Lu Wenbin is standing in front of the door, it is not very safe.

Therefore, now that the score is behind, everyone can only continue to defend under the leadership of Lu Wenbin, and wait for an opportunity to counterattack and try to equalize the score.

As long as they equalize, the Chinese team will have a chance.
