Vol 6 Chapter 37: Not as good as the host

Zhou Yi didn't have the problem like Shultzer. He slept deeply and was very sweet.
He led the Chinese team to challenge Brazil over and over again in the virtual space to see what the current Chinese team can do with the Brazilian team.
In repeated games over and over again, he found that as Lippi analyzed, this Brazilian team has many problems, but now the first team to cover up these problems, the Brazilian media and fans are silently avoiding talk It seems that talking about it will disturb the military's heart, and will allow the Chinese team to find the same way to deal with the Brazilian team.
But they didn't expect that Zhou Yi knew it even if they didn't say it.
Scolari is a very stubborn head coach. His coaching career has also had brilliant results. The peak is to lead the Brazil team to the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea. The 3R+ dual card tactics at that time were really good.
Coaches who have been successful will be more willing to believe in themselves, will have very strong self-confidence, and are stubborn.
These problems have all happened to Scolari.
His several failures in coaching also have great reasons for his character.
For example, he coached Chelsea and was fired in half a season.
After he re-directed the Brazilian national team, his coaching in Palmeiras was very unsuccessful. After only coaching Palmeiras for fifty-six days, he took the giant team to the relegation abyss, and was The chairman of the Palmeiras club was fired.
At the time, Scolari was able to coach the Brazilian team again, which surprised the Brazilian media.
However, the Brazilian team won the championship in the Confederations Cup, which concealed many problems and made everyone accept Scolari.
Judging from the first three games of the World Cup, Scolari's adjustment is inadequate, his thinking is rigid, and the situation of blind confidence is very serious.
In Zhou Yi's opinion, this team has to be described as "stumble" in order to qualify for the knockout.
In the last group match, Brazil won Cameroon 4-1. It seems that the Brazilian players have regained their confidence and feel that they are invincible. It is certainly a piece of cake to win the Chinese team.
However, from the perspective of strength, this Brazilian team has not absolutely stronger than the strength of the Chinese team.
This was confirmed by Zhou Yi again and again in the virtual game.
Look at this big list of Brazil team, compared with the previous star team Brazil, this team is full of civilian flavor.
Especially the front line. Brazilian football has always given the impression of excellent attack power, and there is never a lack of superstars on the offensive line. Because football in this country is offensive, young children love forwards and goals from the beginning of contact with football. Of course, it is easy to attack genius. From the beginning of the Bailey era, Bailey, Galincha, Rivelino, and "Bai Baili" Zico, Falcao, Socrates, closer to the current fans are Romario, Bebeto , Rivaldo, Dejaminha, Jader, Elber, Edmundo, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Kaka, Robinho...
In the past, the Brazilian team only had to attack the players too much, and they were troubled by the arrangement. They never troubled and could not find a suitable striker.
But now this problem actually exists in the Brazilian team. In fact, this trend has been seen since the World Cup in South Africa four years ago. Fabiano was wearing the number nine jersey of the Brazilian team at that time. At that time, he was called the weakest striker in the history of the Brazilian team.
But now it seems that everyone was a bit premature at the time, because the Brazilian national team is now weaker than the number four four years ago...
It is Fred who is currently wearing the Brazilian team's No. 9 jersey.
If you don't know Brazilian football very well, would you be confused when you first heard the name-who is this person? Why did you put on the number that Ronaldo once wore?
In fact, Fred is not a newcomer to the Brazilian national team, this is his second World Cup. He played a total of 32 times for the Brazilian national team and scored 16 goals. In this Brazilian national team, it is the player whose number of goals is second only to Neymar.
But this does not mean that Fred has excellent strength.
The last time he participated in the World Cup was the 2006 World Cup in Germany. As a substitute for Ronaldo, he played very few times and left no impression.
At the time, Fred was still playing in Ligue 1.
Now Fred grows older and returns to Brazil, playing for Fluminense. He was selected for the Brazilian national team because he is currently the only available player in Brazilian football that can be found at the center position.
As a Brazilian, Diego Costa, who had played well at Atletico Madrid, was the one who was more suitable for this position. However, the death of others did not work for the Brazilian national team and chose to play for the Spanish national team. This incident also made the two football associations very dissatisfied.
There is also a saying that in the case of Diego Costa not playing for the Brazilian national team, Scolari's stubbornness and arrogance is one of the culprits. For example, Zico holds this view and believes that Scolari did not want to recruit Diego Costa at all, only because Diego Keita expressed his intention to fight for Spain before he advanced before a friendly match Recruited Diego Costa, and then gave him a 20-minute symbolic appearance.
Because it was in the friendly match, Diego Costa can also join other national teams. Eventually, Costa Costa officially announced to join the Spanish national team before the World Cup. Looking at Diego Costa's excellent state at Atletico Madrid, I don't know if Scolari regretted it...
Losing Diego Costa, Scolari can of course only choose Fred as the center.
Fred is a big slot for the current Brazilian national team, but in addition to him, the strength of the Brazilian team in other positions is not very strong.
Hulk became famous very early, but he has always lacked experience in the European mainstream leagues. He can only abuse the dishes in the Russian league and the Japanese league, and it has not yet reached the heights that people expected of him.
If he once transferred to Manchester City at the value of the Manchester City club's transfer fee record, but the performance in Manchester City was average, he played for Manchester City forty-two times and scored only six goals. Today, he has returned to Brazil, playing for Mineiro.
Bernard was only 21 years old when he was young. He participated in the World Cup for the first time and scored a goal for the national team ten times. Currently playing for the FC Shakhtar Donetsk, his reputation is not obvious, and it is only a substitute in the Brazilian national team.
Only Neymar is a world-class star with enough reputation on the front line, but Neymar became famous early. He went to Europe last year. He has not grown up in Barcelona as everyone hopes, and is still Messi's younger brother. The core of the Brazilian national team and the Uranus superstar can not do it alone in the club, the strength of this Brazilian national team can be seen.
Take another Brazilian national team, also coached by Scolari, to make a simple comparison. Rivaldo in 3R is the core player of Barcelona. He has already won the European Golden Globe and the World Footballer. Not to mention Ronaldo, "Aliens" are the absolute core of the main force in Barcelona and Inter Milan, the person whose personal honor is soft. The only younger one is Ronaldinho, but he also served as the core of the French giants Paris Saint-Germain, and he also transferred to Barcelona in the sad year of the world to serve as the core of Barcelona.
So now people say that today’s Brazilian team is far worse than before, and some people think that today’s Neymar is an ordinary player in that year’s Brazil team, which can only be hidden under the ray of superstars. Starlight can't be as bright as it is now. Most of his reputation is now due to the current Brazilian football talents are out of gear, and the yellow and blue are not connected. Except for him, there is no genius who can handle it.
This is not necessarily a deliberate discredit of Neymar, there is an example-later in AC Milan became the core, helped AC Milan win the 2007 Champions League championship, won the World Footballer and the European Golden Globe Kaka, regardless of ability or I am afraid that the talents are not under Neymar. In the Brazilian national team that won the World Cup at that time, it was only a fringe figure of the national team who could only appear in the garbage time...
In the midfield, although there are many players who are working hard in the European schedule, the name is not unfamiliar, but there is no one who can really be called a superstar. Many of them participated in the World Cup for the first time, such as Fernandinho playing for Manchester City, Paulinho playing for Tottenham Hotspur, William and Oscar playing for Chelsea, and Wolfs playing for Wolfs. Gustavo of the castle, El Nanes of Inter Milan...
The back line has always been the weakness of the Brazilian national team-but that is relative to the offensive line that was so powerful at the time. In 2002, the Brazilian national team also had defenders such as Lucio, Cafu, Robert Carlos and other giant stars.
But now the Brazilian national team and the situation of that year are reversed. Compared to their weak forwards, the Brazilian defender line is much more luxurious... with Marcelo, Alves, David Ruiz and Tiago Silva and others' Brazilian back line is the most expensive "Great Wall of Human Flesh" in this World Cup.
You know, the three most valuable guards in the world are all from Brazil.
Of course, value does not fully represent ability. This luxury line has lost two goals in three games so far. Marcelo and Alves two defenders have exposed the problem of attacking and defending weakly in the game, which is not surprising.
In terms of goalkeepers, the "San Cesar" who once helped Inter Milan win the Triple Crown is now too old and hasn't even played in a long time. How important a continuous high-quality game is to the goalkeeper, everyone who knows the ball knows it.
But this goalkeeper is still the main goalkeeper of the Brazilian national team.
It can be seen that the shortage of talent in Brazilian football has reached a point.
Cesar's performance at this World Cup is not satisfactory, and public opinion has always put a lot of pressure on him.
His body is blessed, his reaction is slow, and he lacks the state to maintain the game. He is like a bomb on the Brazilian defense. The ghost knows when it will explode.
Such a team that is not very powerful~EbookFREE.me~ plus a stubborn and arrogant head coach, this combination is really a "perfect match".
In so many games simulated by Zhou Yi, the Chinese team is almost able to play an equal share with the Brazilian team-can you imagine? In the past, the Chinese team played against the Brazilian team, but the game has not started yet. The Chinese team will automatically dwarf one side. I feel certain that I will lose. Suspense is just a matter of losing more or less.
In the 2002 World Cup group stage, this is also true. Brazil's first game relied on Ronaldo's genius blow and Rivaldo's "sly" to defeat Turkey. At that time, the Brazilian team did not seem to have entered the pace of the World Cup.
As a result, they met the Chinese team in the second game, a hearty 4:0, which not only allowed the Brazilian team to get the group qualifying in advance, but also helped the Brazilian team find the rhythm of playing the World Cup. Since then, they have gone all the way and finally won Gold Cup of Hercules.
Zhou Yi watched the live broadcast of that game and was very impressed.
So compared with the simulated games nowadays, it made him feel: we are really stronger, and Brazil is really not as good as before...
