The sixth professional football player who started with Manchester United

Chapter 119 Opening 3
Brazil's all-out attack put too much pressure on Wales.

Especially after taking the lead, the morale of the Brazilian team reached its peak. Coupled with the cheering of tens of thousands of Brazilian fans at the scene, Wales was completely passive after the game restarted.

There was even more danger in front of the door.

Fortunately, there was not much time left in the first half, and Wales retreated across the board so as not to give Brazil another chance.

Finally, at the referee's whistle, the first half of the match between the two sides ended.

1 to 0, Brazil returned to the locker room with a one-ball lead.

Everyone could see that there was indeed a gap in strength between the two sides. Although Wales had a few chances to counterattack, it did not pose much threat to Brazil as a whole.

Especially for Dabao's long pass, it is obvious that Scolari did research on Wales before the game, knowing that although the most famous player in Wales is Bell, Dabao is the real midfield playmaker, so in the first half The field defended Dabao’s pass very well. Brazil did not directly grab the first point, but mainly controlled the second point. In this way, even if Dabao sent a very good ball, the football will not reach the goal. After the field, there is no way to control it.

This also led to the failure of Dabao's exquisite long pass to achieve good results several times.

Then the second defense is Brazil's offense instead of defense. The strong offense forced Dabao to devote more energy to defense, so it was inevitable that he would not take it into account when the team counterattacked.

Many people even think that if this continues, Wales will still lose the ball.

Dabao frowned and sat on the seat, listening to Koeman's tactical arrangement, he was also thinking about how to complete the goal, and he was very clear about the troubles he encountered.

He naturally saw the opponent's defensive strategy against him.

The morale of the team is a bit low. To be honest, if it weren't for his title system, it would probably be even lower.

The entire first half was a situation where the opponent was completely suppressed. The morale was not low. Even the head coach Koeman seemed to accept the result of losing to Brazil. The entire halftime arrangement emphasized defense. , try not to lose the ball again.

Fifteen minutes later, players from both sides walked out of the locker room. Dabao and Bell were the last, and Dabao whispered directly in his ear.

"you sure?"

"Of course, the other party would never have thought of it, so I think this is an opportunity."

"But the head coach didn't make any arrangements. Will there be any opinions at that time?"

"It's okay, just once. If it doesn't work, we will retreat and focus on defense."

"Okay, let's try again."

In the second half, Wales kicked off, so Dabao wanted to attack once after the kick-off. He felt that Brazil would never have expected that Wales would choose such a tactic. Since his teammates couldn’t control the pass, he would do it once by himself, and go straight away when he reached the dangerous area. shoot.

As long as there is no interference from defensive players, there is still a good chance of his heavy bombardment.

Soon players from both sides took their positions.

Neither Koeman nor Scolari made any adjustments to the lineup.

Soon the referee blew the whistle to start the second half.

With the sound of the whistle, Kanu pushed the ball to Bell behind him. At this time, Dabao accelerated and rushed forward. When he crossed the center line, Bell also sent the ball to Dabao in front of him. .

To be honest, Brazil did not expect that Wales would attack after the start of the second half, so it was obviously a little unprepared for Dabao's sudden advance. Both Gustavo and Paulinho were not prepared for Dabao's forward move. There was some hesitation in the interspersion. Both of them felt that the other side would intercept and defend, so this hesitation was exactly the opportunity Dabao wanted to see.

Bell's pass allowed Dabao to fully utilize his speed.

At this time, the Brazilian players who were not familiar with Dabao realized that the speed of the big man that the head coach asked them to focus on was so abnormal.

When Dabao completed the acceleration, Paulinho chased after Dabao, but when he wanted to chase at this time, he found that he could not catch up.

Koeman also frowned when Dabao moved forward at the beginning. This tactic was obviously not arranged by him during the halftime break, and he was still a little unhappy, but the next scene made him never happy. ecstasy.

While raising his right foot to unload the football, although Dabao slowed down, it was a very visually impactful emergency stop and change of direction, which immediately got rid of Thiago Silva who was rushing forward.

Then he moved the ball forward with his left foot. When it came into contact with the opponent's body, it had no impact at all. Both of their hands were moving, so the referee ignored Thiago Silva's protest at all.

At this time, Dabao, who had already entered the dangerous area, adjusted his pace, and immediately activated his heavy artillery skills.

In an instant, the football flew towards the goal like a bolt of lightning.

The powerful shot made the football like a shell fired. Although Cesar's save made his right hand touch the football, it still failed to prevent the football from getting into the goal.

The moment he saw the football go into the goal, Dabao ran wildly to the stands where the Welsh fans were, and only then did everyone react.

1 to 1, Wales evened the score at the beginning of the second half.

Dabao, who was standing under the stands, roared crazily, as if venting his depression of being suppressed by the opponent in the first half.

Then he was directly overwhelmed by other Welsh players who were rushing forward.

“1-1, 1-1, Wales equalized the score. This is Wales’ first goal in this World Cup. Dabao scored Wales’ first goal in this World Cup. It’s so beautiful. This goal will definitely become one of the best goals in this World Cup, and Brazil was caught off guard." Duan Xuan shouted excitedly on the commentary stage.

"This is definitely carefully planned. It is to take advantage of Brazil's unsteady foothold in the opening game, coupled with the suppression of Wales in the first half, so Brazil did not expect Wales to play like this. Sure enough, there is no weak team entering the World Cup. This goal was conceded It’s entirely caused by Brazil’s underestimation of its enemy.”

Koeman on the sidelines was also excited to hug the Welsh players around him. At this time, it didn't matter what the tactics were, what mattered was that the score was equalized.

Scolari on the other side shook his head helplessly.

The Welsh fans in the stands cheered wildly. For them, the first half of the game was too uncomfortable.
