There is a belief called football

Chapter 151 Neymar who lost his sight
When Neymar was still upset, the experienced Ganso quickly ran to the corner to take the corner kick.

Santos' other teammates also quickly inserted into Guangzhou Tianbao's penalty area. For a while, Guangzhou Tianbao's penalty area was pushed and crowded, and everyone refused to give an inch.

Goalkeeper Isaacson arranged the corner kick defense. He asked Qi Bing to stand at the back post. This is a relatively basic defensive corner kick tactic, and asked the full back to stand next to the goal post.

In addition, when taking a corner kick, it is very important to mark people in the penalty area. Some defensive players will subconsciously pull the corners of the opponent's clothes. Because there are too many people, it is not easy to keep a close eye on the person they want to mark. Therefore, for a long time, defensive players will use some small moves. This is also an unspoken rule. Generally, referees will turn a blind eye.

But this game's law enforcement referee "Nishimura Yuichi" was not like this. He gestured to Ganso to tell him not to kick the ball, and then he ran into the penalty area to remind both sides to pay attention to his hand movements.

Gan Suo was very dissatisfied with the referee's approach. He was going to take advantage of Guangzhou Tianbao's unstable foothold and quickly take a corner kick, but the referee refused to let him do so.

After Nishimura Yuichi dealt with the pushing and shoving in the penalty area, he ran out of the penalty area, gestured to Ganso, and then whistled to indicate that Ganso could kick.

Gan Suo's footwork was not affected by the dissatisfaction just now. The corner kick he kicked flew towards Guangzhou Tianbao's penalty area with a very strong arc.

When Isaacson, the goalkeeper of Guangzhou Tianbao, saw the flying football, he judged from his experience that the ball could not be caught by hand, because the rotation was too strong and it was easy to drop it.

So Isaacson was ready to jump up and punch the ball hard out of the box.

But just when Isaacson was about to do this, suddenly a person stood in his way, and that was Elano.

Although Elano is only 1 meters, Isaacson looks more than 75 centimeters taller than him, but Isaacson is not Jordan, so it is impossible for him to jump and save the ball through Elano.

In fact, this is a tactic of corner kick attack, that is, the big players fight for the top, while the small players block the opponent on the outside, especially the goalkeeper, and prevent him from coming out.

Isaacson knew that the goalkeeper had privileges in the penalty area. If Elano blocked him in the penalty area, the opponent would have committed a foul. But Ganso's corner kick was very good, which is the kind of line that is impossible for the goalkeeper to come out of the penalty area.

After hesitating, Isaacson finally chose not to attack.

When the ball flew to the front point, Santos' tall central defender "Leo" jumped high to compete for the top, but obviously he didn't judge the right path of the ball, and finally missed the ball.

Although Ke Leo didn't hit it, he shook Guangzhou Tianbao's defenders, causing Guangzhou Tianbao's big men - Prahimi, Gabriel, and Jacob Sim to be shaken. In an instant, the football passed through Guangzhou Tianbao's half of the penalty area and came to the rear point, and waiting there was the popular Brazilian "Neymar".

Neymar is ready to shoot immediately after stopping the ball, but now the only one who can stop him is the full-back Qi Bing who is guarding the goal post.

Qi Bing rushed out towards Neymar, and Neymar was obviously startled by Qi Bing's action. He didn't shoot, but continued to waggle the ball, preparing to pass Qi Bing and then shoot again, but the opportunity in the penalty area was fleeting.

*****
Maurice Ramalho saw that Neymar didn't take the shot immediately, and kicked the "sports drink" on the ground angrily. The blue liquid sprayed out from the can and splashed on the bench. The players on the bench were silent. They knew that the head coach was really anxious now.

But at this time, Morrisi Ramalho really has nothing to do except kick the bottle to vent his anger. The current situation is very similar to the time when Portugal played against Greece in the 2004 European Cup final. After Greece accidentally scored a goal, Portugal did not feel much because of its absolute strength.

I watched that game. In terms of strength, Portugal not only retained the backbone of the "golden generation" - Figo, Rui Costa, Paulo Sousa and others, but also had the rising supernova Ronaldo.

The current Morrisi Ramalho can only shake his head indifferently. He knows that the situation is out of his control. As time goes by, the more defensive the opponent is, the more confident he becomes, while the more offensive the team is, the less confident he is.

In fact, Neymar's kick just now is the best proof. The reason why he didn't shoot the goal immediately is because Neymar was too cautious. He wanted to pass the defender and score [-]% of the goals, but the more he procrastinated, the harder it was to score.

Before the game, Santos’ top executives internally issued the requirement to at least enter the final and strive to win Barcelona. Although this goal has not been made public to the outside world, it can be said that this is also the consensus of the whole Brazil. If they lose to the Chinese team, then...Thinking of this, Morrisi Ramalho didn't think about it any further. He knew that the consequences would not be as simple as losing his job.

You have to know what is the end of offending the fans in Brazil, which believes in football. This is a country where you can offend the president but not the fans. Think about the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. After Brazil lost to the Netherlands, the Brazilian midfielder "Melo" who scored an own goal received death threats after the game. He was so scared that he dared not go back to Brazil.

*****
It's not just the head coach "Merrisi Ramalho" who thinks so. The Santos players on the field also know the consequences of losing.

This can be seen from Ganso's several pass errors, which rarely appear on Ganso in normal times.

After hitting, Santos even played a long pass and asked Neymar to grab the point. This is tantamount to using Messi as Ibrahimovic, and the effect can be imagined.

The head coach "Merrisi Ramalho" looked at the situation and kept pressing down, signaling to hold on, there is still time, don't rush.

But now it is difficult for the players on the field to stabilize their impetuous mentality. They want to punch wildly and perform miracles.
But this is what Guangzhou Tianbao wants to see the most. In this way, Santos's offense has scored more and more times in Guangzhou Tianbao's penalty area, but the threat is getting smaller and smaller. The two tall central defenders of Guangzhou Tianbao are most afraid of long passes.

And more importantly, this style of play, Santos's two major killers - Neymar and Ganso are useless. The only thing that is useful now is "Elano", who was replaced in the second half.

*****
On the other side, Stan sat down quietly at this time, and even asked the staff to give him a cup of hot coffee. He knew that Santos was in a hurry and started to fight randomly. In this way, Stan felt relieved. What he feared most was Ganso's elusive pass.

Just as Stan was holding the hot coffee and was about to take a sip, his hands suddenly trembled, and the coffee spilled all over his pants. Stan, ignoring the coffee-stained pants, quickly got up and came to the sideline.
This is the price of using young defenders. On the one hand, young people have plenty of physical strength, but young central defenders lack experience in judging the ball and can easily fall to the top.

"If I had known this, I would have replaced Li Weifeng in the second half," Stan thought.

The ball was missed by Jacob Sim and fell to Neymar, leaving only Taiwo in front of him.

Taiwo took down Neymar in the first place. He knew that even if he got a red card now, he would not be able to let his opponent score.

Without any doubt, the red card, Nishimura Yuichi showed the red card to Taiwo, and then pointed to the outside of the field, signaling him to get off the field quickly.

The referee gave Santos a free kick in front of the penalty area!

At this point in the game, giving the opponent a free kick in front of the penalty area, and the opponent has a free kick master like Ganso, it is like turning a gun to yourself and then handing the gun to the opponent.

Stan on the sidelines is very nervous. There are too many examples of falling short on the football field. He knows that if the opponent scores a goal and the morale improves, then the team is over.

Stan called the captain, Nekonan, and told him to be careful about this free kick. In fact, it is useless to ask anything now, and Stan is just self-consolation.

*****
Gan Suo stood in front of the ball, he picked up the football and kissed it, then made a cross on his chest, and finally put the football respectfully, then he looked at the referee, waiting for the referee to allow him to make a free throw.

After dealing with the wall, Nishimura Yuichi nodded to Ganso, and then blew the whistle to allow the kick.

Gan Suo made a small run-up and kicked the football.
