Chapter 267: Killing Hope! (Ch 267)

“Tite certainly didn’t expect that Zabia would use all of his best tactics without reservation.”

“And it was integrated very well according to the characteristics of Spanish players, forming a very smart mismatch defense on the court.”

“Some fans may not understand what mismatch defense is. Zarbia’s pyramid mismatch defense is different from ordinary mismatch defense.”

“In Zabia’s pyramid defense system, once the staggered defense is deployed, the players will be ready to move at any time through this diagonal stance, thus forming an advantage of multiple defenses against one in a small area.”

“And the reason why it’s called a mismatch is not because it’s a mismatch in defense, but because it’s a mismatch in offense.”

“The pyramid defense can cut off the connection between the opponent’s offensive players through this local small-scale advantage, so that the opponent’s offensive players are forced to stagger, resulting in the opponent’s offense being isolated and helpless, and falling into a passive situation.”

“From the two offensive tactics of the Brazilian team just now, Neymar and Jesus were both staggered by the Spanish players’ pyramid stance during the attack, which is why the Brazilian players were unable to get the final chance to shoot.”

“Football games are like this. No matter how beautiful your cooperation is, if you can’t shoot and score, then everything is useless, because only goals can win the game.”

He Wei just felt very enjoyable.

When this ultimate defensive tactic is displayed on the field, it embodies the beauty of modern football.

Before the live broadcast, Klopp, who was watching the game, couldn’t help but stare at Zabia.

Kravitz on the side understood Klopp’s look too well. Klopp had the same look when he saw him.

“I have to call Mike.” Klopp took out his cell phone.

Kravitz handed over his cell phone, which showed that it was dialing a number, and the recipient was Mike.

“Boss, I understand you~”

Klopp smiled: “Be brothers, in the heart!”

…

The game resumed, and the surprise gift prepared by the Brazilian team was also blocked by the Spanish team. In this way, time became Spain’s friend.

As long as the remaining time is up, the Spanish team will eliminate the five-star Brazil and advance to the semi-finals of this World Cup!

“The final shape of Spain’s World Cup has been determined!”

“In preparation for events like the World Cup, national teams will definitely prepare more new and useful tactics.”

“But they won’t show all their tactics at once. They will show what they have prepared little by little as the game progresses.”

“From the first group match, we saw Spain’s best possession tactics, then the sudden emergence of vertical intensive short pass tactics, and then the carefully practiced quick counterattack tactics.”

“Finally, the pyramid tactics shown in this game, I believe that in the remaining knockout games, Spain will use the defensive pyramid as the keynote and fast counterattack as the direction, combining the two to show a powerful new fast counterattack!”

“This Spain team has completely overturned its traditional style of play, but sometimes change is not necessarily a bad thing.”

“Only creativity can lead to progress. Hierro’s coaching team has really brought us more surprises!”

“And this new Spanish midfield has also shown great power, especially Lin Chen in the midfield, who has provided a lot of tactical help for Spain’s new counterattack tactics!”

67th minute of the game!

“The Brazilian team made a substitution, Firmino came on as a substitute for Jesus, a positional substitution.”

“Firmino from Liverpool has all-round ability, but he is behind Jesus in this tournament under Tite.”

When Firmino came on the court, Lin Chen was waiting near the midfield line, quietly reached out to Firmino, and the two of them completed a secret high-five.

As a good brother of the club, Lin Chen certainly hopes that Firmino will perform well, but not today, but in this game.

After Firmino came on the pitch, Brazil’s frontcourt offensive tactics also changed. They began to use more simple long passes to play the ball to Firmino’s feet, taking advantage of Firmino’s role.

The simplest and most time-saving offensive method, but also the most difficult to create a goal.

Because Firmino will be facing the two great masters of Spain, the super central defender combination of Barcelona and Real Madrid.

“Ramos and Pique are both very experienced and have strong mental qualities.”

“They played in countless key matches, facing Firmino, staggered positions in front and behind, coordinated defense, and did not have any chance to defend against the Brazilian center.”

79th minute of the game!

“Another direct kick from the backfield to the front point.”

“Firmiro retreated and tried to use his header as a pivot, but Ramos got there first and headed the ball away!”

“Ramos played very well in this game. If I were to give him a score, I would give him a full 10.”

“Busquets controlled the ball in midfield, set the tempo, and was very skilled in ball control.”

“Give it to Thiago, long pass to the right, or try to play it behind him.”

“Marcelo couldn’t keep up, David Silva got the ball on the wing and drove straight in!”

“Pass the high ball to the back post!”

“Chance!”

David Silva’s cross went straight to the back post, a great opportunity!

But Asensio’s flying pass was just one centimeter short!

As long as he can touch it, he can pad the ball in!

“Oh, just a little bit!”

“Asensio was still a little slow and he looked a little tired.”

At this time, Hierro made a substitution on the sidelines.

“Spain will also make substitutions, Iniesta comes on for Asensio, Saul comes on for Busquets.”

“Isco comes on to replace David Silva, three substitutions in a row!”

With the injection of three fresh bloods, Spain adjusted the direction of the counterattack from the right to the left.

Because Iniesta came to the left midfielder position, playing the role that David Silva played before.

As the game resumed, Brazil frequently made long passes and hit the ball into the Spanish team’s penalty area.

Even if it’s just a matter of luck, as long as we can let them score a goal first, there is still hope.

Marcelo also began to increase the forward pressure, completely using himself as a left winger!

The 84th minute of the game!

“It’s Neymar again, one on two on the left!”

“The spike changed direction, a little reluctantly, but it still went through!”

“Neymar exploded in the second half and was in excellent form!”

“Keep going into the penalty area, Ramos will cover the defense.”

“Neymar!”

“Fake shot, real dunk, adjust one step before shooting again!”

“Pique stretched his legs to block Neymar’s shot!”

“It bounced to the top of the penalty area, and Saul controlled the ball and turned around!”

“Coutinho was very aggressive in grabbing the ball, but it was Saul who broke through and moved forward very quickly. He had a lot of energy!”

Saul was waiting, waiting for an opportunity to pass the ball to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen has started, but he is stuck by Paulinho and has little chance.

Diego Costa quickly retreated at this time to provide cover for Lin Chen.

Xavi was a little nervous on the sidelines, as this was one of the counterattack tactics he designed.

One step away from success!

Lin Chen took advantage of the situation and ran forward around Diego Costa!

Diego Costa’s clever cover gave Lin Chen an opportunity to break away from the defense!

Saul no longer hesitated and sent a diagonal pass to the left with the outside of his foot!

He didn’t look for Lin Chen, but accurately found Iniesta who was moving to the side to support!

“Long pass to Iniesta, Diego Costa in the middle and Isco on the right!”

And in the most deadly flank area between Diego Costa and Isco, Lin Chen had already taken a big step forward and found an open space!

Iniesta swung his left foot and made his signature precise cross to the ribs!

Lin Chen jumped high!

As powerful as Mount Tai!

He pushed off the ground with his feet and jumped into the air with his whole body to meet the cross. Lin Chen took off like a human wing and met Iniesta’s pass at the highest point!

“Bang!”

The violent header that killed Brazil’s last hope!
