Chapter 307: 71 bloodbathed Brazil, shocking the world!

While Messi was practicing extra, Lin Quan was also practicing extra.

The difference is that Lin Quan is the target of training.

Because his playing style is so similar to Messi's, in order to simulate Argentina's offensive routine as much as possible, especially when facing Messi, how should the Spanish defense defend him.

Bosque specially arranged for Lin Quan to play Messi and arranged a special training for the Spanish defenders.

Lin Quan didn't care about this, Quan was just doing breakthrough training.

On the other hand, Spain's defenders were all wailing.

They had seen Lin Quan abusing the opponent's defender on the field before, and they felt sour in their hearts that they wished they could hug Lin Quan and kiss him twice.

But now, when they faced Lin Quan themselves, they immediately experienced the feeling that the opponent's defender had experienced.

Those who are really being abused don't want it!

Now that they saw Lin Quan, they all wanted to take a detour!

Scared, really scared!

"It seems that the simulation effect is pretty good?"

Del Bosque chatted with defensive coach Puyol on the sidelines.

The corners of Puyol's mouth twitched: Which of your eyes looks better?

This line of defense was almost beaten to pieces by Lin Quan. How could it be so good?

"Haha, I think Lin Quan is better than Messi. If they can't guard Lin Quan, they may not be able to guard Messi!"

"Besides, hasn't the game time started yet? We still have time to slowly improve the defensive level of the back line!"

Puyol instinctively wanted to refute Del Bosque's first sentence.

As the captain of Barcelona, ​​he has almost watched Messi grow up to the height of the superstar he is today.

So no one knows Messi's strength better than him!

A few years ago, when the outside world called Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi the ultimate twins, Puyol was very disdainful of this title!

Puyol, who has played against Ronaldo many times in the league, although he also recognizes Ronaldo's strength, he still feels that Messi and Ronaldo are not at the same level at all.

Cristiano Ronaldo is the best among stars, the best that ordinary people can achieve.

But Messi can't do it. To reach his level, you have to be a genius!

However, when thinking about Lin Quan's progress in the past two years and the strength he showed in the game, Puyol suppressed his rebuttal.

There is no doubt that Lin Quan is also a genius.

And he is still a genius of the same type as Messi. It is no wonder that when he first debuted, the outside world called him Messi II.

Only later, as Lin Quan's performance in the league, Champions League and even the national team got better and better, gradually matching or even surpassing Messi's performance, did this title change.

Lin Quan now might really be better than Messi.

After all, data does not lie. Since last season, Messi's data in the league, Champions League and this World Cup have been suppressed by Lin Quan.

Moreover, after Messi was injured last year, his explosive power and breakthrough ability have dropped a lot.

So at this time, Messi is really not as good as Lin Quan in terms of extraordinary ability.

From a certain perspective, there is nothing wrong with Del Bosque's point of view.

"There are still some differences in the playing styles of the two. It is still impossible to completely simulate Messi's effect!"

Puyol has been teammates with both Messi and Lin, so he has a good understanding of their playing habits and personal characteristics.

For ordinary defenders, it is impossible to defend players of Lin Quan and Messi's level by relying on one-on-one defense.

They can only design some defensive tactics, using multiple double-teams and pressing to restrict them or their teammates.

When Messi was at Barcelona, ​​he always encountered targeted defense from opponents in the league and Champions League. It was not uncommon for two people to double-team or even three or four people to double-team.

Although sometimes, this double-teaming tactic did not succeed, but instead contributed to a series of classic scenes such as Messi one-on-four or even one-on-five, reviewing the defense line, etc.

However, if this many-on-one restriction fails every time, then the scene of Messi breaking through multiple interceptions will not become a classic.

Therefore, this tactic is definitely effective, and Messi cannot break through multiple double-teams every time.

It's just the most appropriate number of players to invest in pressing. They need to spend more time studying this.

There are the same number of players on both sides of the court. If too many troops are invested in defending a certain player, one of the other players on the other side will definitely be left open.

If the opponent quickly finds the space and passes the ball out to form a threatening attack, then the gain outweighs the loss.

Especially when Argentina's frontcourt attack group is so luxurious, it is not enough to only restrict Messi.

Although the performance of their shooters in this World Cup is very sluggish, what if they recover in the semi-finals?

After all, whether it is Higuain, Aguero or Di Maria, their strength has been tested in actual combat in the league and Champions League, and they are not the kind of players in name only.

Therefore, when designing defensive tactics against Messi, these guys cannot be ignored.

Although Argentina had a stumbling performance in the previous games and was far less smooth than Spain, as the opponent is a traditional strong team in South America, Bosque and Spain did not underestimate each other.

Before the World Cup started, Argentina was the favorite to win.

And now, they can still reach the finals despite being in poor condition, which is enough to prove their strength.

Spain regards Argentina as a strong rival, and Argentina also regards Spain as a stumbling block.

Their head coach Zavilla's hair turned gray after repeatedly watching Spain's routes in the past few games.

Spain is so strong, how can Argentina defeat it?

If unfortunately he is eliminated by Spain, will he be forgiven by the fans?

As the head coach of Argentina, Savilia is under great pressure to lead the team.

In the two World Cups in 2010 and 2014, Argentina's lineup was very strong.

Especially in the last World Cup, if a better coach was replaced and Maradona, an amateur coach, was not allowed to mess around, Argentina had a high probability of winning.

In 2010, Argentina's lineup was unprecedentedly luxurious. The team not only had the central axis of Inter Milan, which had just won the Champions League, but also Samuel, Zanetti, Cambiaso, and Diego Milito.

There is also Messi at his peak and Higuain at his peak.

This lineup includes the first and second scorers in La Liga and the top scorer in Serie A, and then was blocked by the German team...

As long as Maradona doesn't mess around, copies Mourinho's tactics at Inter Milan, focuses on defense, and uses Messi's speed and breakthrough advantages to deal with opponents, he will definitely not be beaten so badly by the German team.

However, Maradona's tactical arrangement is really confusing. Instead of putting Messi in front to threaten the opponent's goal, he instead puts him in the midfield to act as an organizer, keeping the most threatening player in the team away from the goal.

In that quarter-final, Argentina played in chaos. The players were nervous and confused on the court. Especially after the German team took the lead, they seemed to not know how to play the game.

As Maradona's successor, Savilia's pressure is no less than that of his predecessor.

In this World Cup, Argentina's lineup is still strong.

Even compared to four years ago, they are more popular now.

But Savilia himself is treading on thin ice.

He has very little coaching experience. Not to mention his short time as a coach, he has no experience coaching a wealthy club.

The experience of coaching a wealthy club is very important for a coach, especially a coach of the national team.

Because it is difficult for ordinary teams to have top stars!

The Argentina team is star-studded, and there are so many top stars from the five major leagues. How to use so many big-name stars and how to maintain the atmosphere in the locker room are things he has never experienced before.

To put it simply, Savilia has only driven cheap Laotou Le, but suddenly took over a luxury sports car worth tens of millions in Argentina.

With his ability, he simply cannot control it.

This is also the reason why Argentina has such a difficult time in this World Cup despite having an all-star lineup.

He doesn't know how to use these top stars in the frontcourt and how to maximize their power!

And this problem is obviously not something that can be solved in a short while.

Therefore, Savilla was a little hesitant, not knowing whether to be more conservative and use defensive counterattack tactics in the game against Spain.

Although Argentina's defensive counterattack is a bit unpleasant to pass out, this tactic is really easy to use.

Especially for novice coaches, only after they have done a good job of defense can they consider attacking!

…

On July 9, the first match of the semi-finals of the 2014 World Cup started between Brazil and Germany.

The rekindling of the World Cup war after four days has attracted the close attention of hundreds of millions of fans around the world.

Fans in some areas even call their friends and stay up late to watch the game, just to be able to watch the most exciting and most intense football matches in the world for the first time!

For example, for the fans of a large Eastern country, when the game started, it was already four o'clock in the morning in China, and there was actually a group of people who stayed up late to watch the game.

It is a pity that there is still no national football team in this World Cup. If the national football team can enter the World Cup, the popularity will be unimaginably high!

At 19:00 sharp, the game officially started.

Before the start of this game, the Brazilian team suffered a considerable loss in strength due to the absence of two generals.

However, fans who were extremely confident in the Brazilian team made confusing remarks before the game.

What is the real Brazil without Neymar? The invincible Hulk will destroy the German tanks with a body as strong as a bull.

There are two iron gates between Paulinho and Fernandinho. If the German team's midfielder can stand and finish the game, it will be considered a victory.

After the start, the Brazilian team seemed not to be affected by the absence of Neymar and his sister-in-law.

In the first ten minutes of the game, the Brazilian team played very proactively. With the cheers of more than 60,000 fans in the Mineiro Arena, they launched fierce attacks on the German team's goal again and again.

In the third minute of the game, Marcelo's long-range shot from the outside of the penalty area slid past the goal. The Samba fans at the scene couldn't help but sigh, and the German fans couldn't help but scream.

It is worthy of being the favorite to win the World Cup. Even without the two main players, it is still so strong.

However, a few minutes later, the German fans' minds changed.

In the 11th minute, the German team got a corner kick opportunity.

Cross observed the position of his teammates when he kicked off and drove the ball to the back point.

The Brazilian team's defense made a fatal mistake. Almost all players rushed to the forward point, but ignored Thomas Muller at the back point.

The unmarked Erwa volleyed the ball about 8 meters away from the goal and sent the ball into the goal.

The German team temporarily leads the Brazilian team 1:0!

This is Muller's fifth goal in this World Cup. With this goal, he surpassed Messi and advanced to the third place in the scorer list, only behind Lin Quan and James Rodriguez, who has been eliminated.

This goal made the German fans at the scene extremely excited. Facing a strong team like Brazil, if they can take the lead, their winning rate in this game will be greatly improved.

On the Brazilian side, although the tens of thousands of fans at the scene were frustrated by the conceded goal, they did not feel that the game would definitely be lost.

They firmly believe that with the strong strength of the Brazilian team, it is only a matter of time before they equalize the score.

At this time, no one realized the seriousness of the matter.

Little did they know that Muller's goal kicked off a tragedy.

In the 23rd minute, Cross sent a through ball from the middle. After Muller cleverly moved the ball, he handed the ball to Klose in a concealed manner.

Klose's push shot from 9 meters away from the goal on the right was saved by Cesar, but the follow-up shot passed the fallen Cesar and flew into the goal.

The score became 2:0.

This is Klose's 16th goal in the World Cup, breaking the World Cup scoring record jointly held by himself and Brazilian star Ronaldo.

Moreover, when he completed the goal, the alien Ronaldo happened to be in the box of the Mineiro Arena.

The camera then showed Ronaldo. The alien's expression was very serious. It was not clear whether it was because Klose broke his own record or because the situation of the Brazilian team took a turn for the worse.

Speaking of which, Klose is only 2 years younger than Ronaldo, but the latter has retired for many years, but Klose can still gallop in the World Cup and even continue to score goals for the German team.

The difference in the length of their careers is very obvious.

From this moment on, the 36-year-old God K will exclusively hold the title of top scorer in the World Cup.

However, this title may not last long, because in the other half, there is a monster who has created 7 goals in 5 games and is eyeing this record. Moreover, this guy is only 18 years old this year. He can play in at least 4 World Cups!

If the first goal only made Brazilian fans feel a little nervous, then Klose's goal made Brazilian fans feel a little anxious.

The Samba fans at the scene had blank expressions, and their pre-match enthusiasm gradually turned into a touch of sadness.

However, the Germans did not let them go!

In the 24th minute, Ozil made a direct pass from midfield. Lahm's cross from the right was missed by Muller and Klose. Kroos calmly volleyed the ball with the outside of his left foot 11 meters in front of the goal and scored the ball. The lower left corner of the goal.

3 to 0!

The German team had already killed the suspense of the game in the first half!

In the commentary booths from various countries, commentators speaking various languages ​​were using words like 'unbelievable', 'unbelievable', and 'unbelievable' to describe this game, as well as the German team's terrifying offensive.

However, this is just the beginning!

In the 26th minute, it was Cross again!

He stole his club teammate Fernandinho in the frontcourt and passed it to Khedira, who crossed the ball from the left side of the penalty area.

Cross, who entered the penalty area, easily pushed into the empty goal 9 meters in front of the goal, 4-0!

Cross scored two goals in two minutes, completely killing the suspense of the game!

What's even more terrifying is that the difference between Germany's second and fourth goals was only 179 seconds.

This was achieved even though they had to celebrate twice!

The Brazilian's defense was completely broken!

The Brazilian fans who came to the scene were completely immersed in sadness and despair. The scene of a little boy wiping tears at the camera made the fans at the scene and in front of the TV a little bit intolerable.

The Germans are too cruel!

However, this is not the end yet!

In the 29th minute, Hummels dribbled the ball in the middle and sent a direct pass. Khedira scored the ball from the front of the penalty area. Ozil knocked back on the left. Khedira pushed the ball 14 meters in front of the goal and scored from the defender's crotch. Lower left corner.

The score became 5-0!

The German coach Loew on the sidelines was so frightened that he covered his mouth when the team scored the fifth goal. He himself was stunned by the score.

When the German team scored the first goal, Loew seemed very excited, enthusiastically hugging his assistants and players on the bench in celebration.

However, after the team scored four goals in five minutes, he couldn't laugh anymore.

Not only could he not laugh, he was even a little worried about whether his team would be able to walk out of this stadium alive.

You brats, take it easy, I don't want to die here!

Not only Loew himself had such worries, but the German fans who came to the scene were also frightened.

There were far fewer of them than the Brazilian fans, and they were shivering in the middle surrounded by sad Brazilian fans.

So when they saw Kroos scoring the fourth goal and Khedira scoring the fifth, not only did they not celebrate, but they covered their faces with their hands and couldn't help wiping away cold sweat.

After finally making it to the end of the first half, Loew hurried back to the locker room.

"Listen, no one is allowed to use any means to humiliate the Brazilian team by scoring five goals in the second half. If anyone violates this rule, I will immediately replace him and he will not be used in the final. Do you understand?"

Loew's expression was very serious. Scoring five goals was already an extreme humiliation for the Brazilian team. If the German team players had any more verbal or physical stimulation at this time.

Then they can really think about the aftermath...

"Of course, you can't show off openly, play seriously and perform to the level you deserve. This is the best respect for your opponent!"

The players of the German team showed the usual rigor or rigidity of the Germans, and they really didn't let go in the second half.

Facing the Brazilian team's counterattack in the second half, Neuer made wonderful saves one after another, blocking the consecutive shots of Oscar and Paulinho.

After blocking the Brazilian team's counterattack, the German team began to score goals again.

In the 69th minute, Schürrle, who replaced Klose, scored the German team's sixth goal of the game.

This goal also broke the Brazilian team's historical record. This is the first time they have conceded 6 goals in a single game at the World Cup.

Ten minutes later, Muller made an offside pass from the left, and Xuerle volleyed in from 9 meters away from the goal and scored another goal!

7 to 0!

Loew couldn't help but cover his face with his hands. These unscrupulous guys asked you not to let go. I didn't let you score crazy goals!

Especially Schürrle, a fool who actually wanted to celebrate after scoring a goal. Didn't you see that the other German players' faces changed drastically after seeing him score?

Fortunately, at the last moment of the game, the players of the German team finally came to their senses.

In the Brazilian team's counterattack before the end, their defense was casually perfunctory and used a walking defense to give Brazil a consolation goal.

In the end, the score of this game was fixed at 7:1!

With a victory that shocked the whole world, the German team bloodbathed the host Brazil and gave the opponent the most painful defeat in the history of the World Cup!
